a Russian act reaches a tool, and the seeds stop disagreeing (V-633)

Three tangled defects, fixed together because each one hid the others.

DefaultActMatcher matched an exact English prefix and internal/tool.Matcher
delegated straight to it, so no Russian utterance could reach a tool: 55 of the
69 lines in models/seeds/act.txt routed to IntentAct and fell to proposeGap.
Tools now carry spoken aliases from deploy/mavend.json, matched as exact leading
tokens, longest phrase first. Config data, not a stem pattern in code. The
comment claiming "the production matcher is fuzzy" was false and is gone.

Seven lines were exact duplicates inside models/seeds/query.txt, each one a
second identical vector double-weighting its region.

"как дела у сервера" carried both a query and a system label. It leaves
system.txt, because replySystem's stats arm answers "системная статистика пока
не подключена." and always did. The mode inventory records that shape as
act.tool.hoststats rather than a system mode.

Fixture unchanged at 69/91, and it cannot see any of this: no host-stat case and
no Russian act in it. TestActMatcherAliases is the coverage.
docs/evals/2026-08-06-russian-acts-reach-tools.md has the numbers.

+# Alarm verbs reach stage 0
+
+**06-08-2026. V-627.** Measured with `TestONNXBaseline`, 91-case RU routing fixture,
+classifier plus the ONNX embedder. No LLM arm in this run.
+
+## What was wrong
+
+`lexicon.ReminderVerbs` held five words and none of them named an alarm. `ReminderGrammar`
+in `internal/router/stage0.go` did not read the set at all: it carried the literal
+`напомни|remind me`. So no part of the cascade recognised `разбуди`.
+
+Three fixture cases ride on that. Under the classifier they went to fact and act at high
+confidence, so the failure was never a near miss:
+
+- `ru-rem-005` "разбуди меня в 6:30" to fact at 0.918
+- `ru-rem-009` "разбуди меня полвосьмого" to act at 0.941
+- `en-rem-002` "wake me at 6:15" to fact at 0.899
+
+Found while training the V-546 intent head, where the same three cases went to system. The
+head reads a spoken time with no known verb in front of it as a clock question. The
+classifier was making the same mistake in its own way.
+
+## The change
+
+Four alarm imperatives and bare `wake` join `reminder_verbs`. `ReminderGrammar` builds its
+alternation from the set, longest alternative first, and eats an optional `мне`, `меня` or
+`me` before the body.
+
+Longest-first is load-bearing. Go's alternation is leftmost-first rather than longest-match,
+so `напомнить` listed after `напомни` would never match.
+
+## Result
+
+**66/91 to 69/91, 72.5% to 75.8% full.** Three cases gained, none lost.
+
+All three are the alarms above, and each now carries its time slot, which it did not before.
+Clarify counts unchanged at 0 false and 8 missed. The two remaining system failures,
+`какое число завтра` and `какой день недели послезавтра`, failed at baseline too.
+
+## What this does not fix
+
+The lexicon addition on its own moved nothing. Measured before touching the grammar:
+**66/91**, exactly the baseline. Every consumer of `reminder_verbs` reads it after a reminder
+route already exists. A verb that cannot win the route is a verb nobody asks about. The
+grammar was the whole change.
+
+Lemma matching in `isReminderVerb` now covers `разбудил` as well as `разбуди`, because one
+lemma holds both. That is the trap `cmd/mavend/quiet_toggle.go` documents for `говори`. It
+is tolerable here and not in the quiet toggle. `isReminderVerb` runs only on an utterance
+already routed to reminder, and it decides where the subject starts. A quiet match flips a
+daemon-wide setting from any channel.

+# Russian acts reach tools
+
+**06-08-2026. V-633.** Measured with `TestONNXBaseline`, 91-case RU routing fixture,
+classifier plus the ONNX embedder. No LLM arm in this run.
+
+## What was wrong
+
+Three defects, tangled enough that fixing one alone would have looked like progress.
+
+**No Russian utterance could reach a tool.** `DefaultActMatcher` in
+`internal/router/slots.go` matched an exact English prefix, and `internal/tool.Matcher`
+delegated straight to it. Its comment claimed "the production matcher is fuzzy, this is the
+scaffold floor". There is no other matcher, and `DefaultGrammars` is the only place
+`Slots.Fn` is set at stage 0, so the floor was the ceiling. Measured with a throwaway
+matcher test over the seeds:
+
+```text
+"покажи статус nginx"    ok=false   "restart nginx"  ok=true fn=restart
+"сколько места на диске" ok=false   "disk"           ok=true fn=disk
+"свободная память"       ok=false   "uptime"         ok=true fn=uptime
+"перезагрузи роутер"     ok=false
+```
+
+55 of the 69 lines in `models/seeds/act.txt` routed to `IntentAct` and then fell to
+`proposeGap`. Praxis was never affected: `PraxisGrammars` fills `Slots.Fn` itself.
+
+**Seven lines were duplicated inside `models/seeds/query.txt`.** A duplicate is a second
+identical vector, so it double-weights its region in nearest-neighbour scoring.
+
+```text
+сколько человек дома
+кто сейчас дома
+какая загрузка процессора
+сколько свободного места на диске
+какой ip адрес у сервера
+какая версия софта
+сколько оперативной памяти свободно
+```
+
+**`как дела у сервера` carried two labels**, in `query.txt:13` and `system.txt:9`. One
+string, two identical vectors, disagreeing about the answer.
+
+## The change
+
+Tools carry spoken aliases as config data, in `deploy/mavend.json`. They are not a Russian
+stem pattern in code, which CLAUDE.md forbids. They are not on the tool row either. An
+ad-hoc tool enabled through `/tools` has no aliases and needs none.
+
+Aliases and names compete in one table, longest phrase first, so "перезагрузи контейнер"
+beats "перезагрузи" and "docker-restart" is not shadowed by "restart". Matching is on exact
+leading tokens rather than lemmas. `перезагрузи роутер` is a command and `перезагрузил
+роутер` is a fact, and a lemma cannot tell the two apart. That is the trap
+`cmd/mavend/quiet_toggle.go` documents for `говори`.
+
+The seven duplicates are gone, and `как дела у сервера` stays in `query.txt` only. It left
+`system.txt` because system cannot answer it: `replySystem`'s
+память/загрузк/аптайм arm returns "системная статистика пока не подключена." and always
+did. That arm is a stub, not a mode, so the mode inventory now lists the shape as
+`act.tool.hoststats`.
+
+## Result
+
+**69/91, 75.8% full, unchanged.** Clarify counts unchanged at 0 false and 8 missed.
+
+Nothing moved, and that is the honest number. The fixture holds no host-stat case and no
+Russian act that reaches a tool, so it cannot see either fix. The new coverage is
+`TestActMatcherAliases`, which asserts the twelve utterances above plus the two refusals.
+
+## What this does not fix
+
+Argument quality. `статус sshd` reaches `systemctl status sshd`, but `логи nginx` reaches
+`journalctl -n 50 -u nginx` only because the tool's argv prefix ends in `-u`. An alias whose
+remainder is a Russian noun ("перезагрузи роутер") hands `systemctl restart роутер` a target
+that does not exist. Free text still reaches an argv, which is the resolution rule the
+ecosystem contract states for Hexis and not yet true here.
+
+The fixture cannot measure any of this. That is the observability gap V-629 is for.

+# Moving the seed files onto the router prompt's boundaries
+
+**06-08-2026. V-626.** Measured with `TestONNXBaseline`, 91-case RU routing fixture,
+classifier plus the ONNX embedder. No LLM arm in this run.
+
+`docs/evals/2026-08-06-seed-labels-vs-router-prompt.md` found three intent boundaries where
+`models/seeds` and `routeSystem` disagree. This applies two of them and rejects the third,
+because the third was measured and it costs a case.
+
+## Baseline
+
+**64/91, 70.3% full.** Latency p50 22.9ms.
+
+## What moved
+
+**Sensor and host state, system to query. 26 lines.** `какая температура воздуха`,
+`сколько памяти занято`, `какой статус сервисов`. The prompt restricts system to the clock,
+the calendar date and the assistant itself, which is the V-374 edit of 31-07-2026.
+
+**World questions, chat to query. 8 lines.** `почему небо голубое`, `why is the sky blue`,
+`как работает интернет`. Only the genuine world-knowledge lines. An opener about herself
+stays in chat. `как тебя зовут` is a question word by rule 4 and about the assistant by
+rule 8. The rules are ordered and rule 4 fires first, which reads wrong. That is a prompt
+question rather than a seed question.
+
+`system.txt` goes from 43 lines to 17 and `query.txt` from 64 to 98.
+
+## Result
+
+**66/91, 72.5% full.** Two cases gained, none lost.
+
+- `en-sys-002` "turn quiet mode back on", quiet 2/3 to 3/3
+- `ru-query-011` "почему сервер тормозит", homelab 5/6 to 6/6
+
+Clarify counts unchanged at 0 false and 8 missed. The eight missed clarifies are the
+`ambiguous` tag and this change does not touch them. `TestONNXRecall`, `TestONNXTopics`,
+`TestONNXPersonalBoundary` and `TestONNXClaimConfidenceDistribution` all pass.
+
+Thinning system to 17 lines did not hurt it. The two remaining system failures,
+`какое число завтра` and `какой день недели послезавтра`, both failed at baseline too.
+
+## The third boundary, measured and rejected
+
+`reminder.txt` holds eight bare verbs: `поставь напоминание`, `создай напоминание`,
+`set a reminder`. Rule 9 of the prompt calls an utterance with no named subject unknown.
+By the prompt they do not belong in a reminder seed set.
+
+Dropping them scores **65/91**, one below keeping them. `ru-rem-004` "поставь напоминание
+через полчаса" falls from reminder to fact, because the centroid loses the phrase the
+utterance is built from.
+
+So the seed file and the prompt are not stale against each other here. They have different
+jobs. A prompt classifies one utterance and can say it cannot. A nearest-neighbour centroid
+is a shape to be near, and a bare verb phrase is part of that shape. The eight lines stay.
+
+That distinction matters past this file. V-546 trains a classification head on labeled
+utterances rather than a centroid, and the head is the prompt's kind of thing. These eight
+lines are seed data and not training data.
