claude 86817d6d06 memory: score the personal boundary on seeds, not word lists (V-495)
"что я говорил про бэкапы?" is his data by definition, and nothing outside the
box has ever heard him say anything. The boundary matched possession words only,
so the question walked past it into SearXNG and came back answered out of a Habr
article about somebody else's backups.

A speech-verb marker class was written first and dropped. Russian gives every
verb a dozen surface forms and the "как я говорил, ..." preamble list has no end,
so each form the lexicon missed was one more question reaching the world, and a
missing verb looks exactly like no bug.

The boundary now embeds two frozen seed sets and scores the turn's own query
vector, already computed upstream, against both. Nearest side wins. The
possession markers stay as the offline floor for a handler with no embedder.

19/19 held-out utterances correct against multilingual-e5-small; see
docs/evals/2026-08-03-personal-boundary.md. The live probe on the deployed box is
not done.

// The personal boundary decides one thing: is this question about him. It used
// to decide it by matching possession words, and that was the whole defect
// behind Vikunja #495. "что я говорил про бэкапы?" is his data by definition —
// nothing outside the box has ever heard him say anything — and it carried no
// possession word, so it walked past the boundary into SearXNG and came back
// answered out of a Habr article about somebody else's backups.
//
// The first fix was one more marker class, `я говорил|сказал|писал|…`, plus a
// carve-out so "как я говорил, почему небо синее" stayed a world question. Both
// halves are a lexicon, and a lexicon is the wrong instrument here: Russian
// gives every verb a dozen surface forms, the preamble list has no end, and
// every utterance the list misses is one that reaches the world. It also drifts
// silently — a missing verb looks exactly like no bug.
//
// So the boundary asks the embedder instead. Two frozen seed sets — questions
// about him, questions about the world — are embedded once, and the turn's own
// query vector, already computed by queryEmbed upstream, is scored against
// both. Nearest side wins. Word order, verb form and unseen phrasing stop
// mattering, which is exactly what a lexicon could not do.
//
// Measured 03-08-2026 against multilingual-e5-small on 19 held-out utterances,
// none of them a seed: 19 right (TestONNXPersonalBoundary). A 20th, "as i said,
// what is the population of india", missed by +0.008 during the first pass and
// is a world seed now, which is why it is not in the held-out set. True
// positives clear the world side by +0.014 to +0.089 and the nearest true
// negative sits at -0.005, so the gate is the sign of the difference and
// nothing tighter: the margins are too thin to justify a threshold, and the
// asymmetry favours claiming anyway. A false claim costs one honest "не знаю";
// a false pass sends his life to an upstream engine.
//
// The embedder is the one model CLAUDE.md pins to homesrv permanently, and it
// is what makes this affordable: no llama-server call, no network, one cosine
// per seed against a vector the turn already has.
// personalSeeds — questions about him. Frozen: they are scoring data, so
// editing one moves the boundary and must be re-measured, not eyeballed. Cover
// both classes the boundary owns, possession and first-person speech, in both
// languages.
