dedup near-duplicate content-hash data-quality

📖 In Plain English

What this category tests

Does the brain detect when the same content is ingested twice?

How the test works

A document is ingested, then re-ingested (either with the same label or a different one). The brain should report `duplicate_detected=true` and not store a copy.

Why it matters

Without dedup, the brain bloats and search results show the same fact multiple times.

⚙️ How a single rep runs

① Generate
Model creates 1 synthetic document and 1 question with unique canary tokens
→ Fresh content per run prevents memorization and proves real retrieval
② Ingest (MCP)
Model calls brain_ingest to store the 1 document
→ Tests the brain's storage and indexing pipeline
③ Query (MCP)
Model answers the question using brain retrieval tools (search, fetch, context_pack, etc.)
→ Core test — does the brain return correct evidence and let the model build a faithful answer?
④ Evaluate
Model judges the answer against ground truth (the document it generated in phase 1)
→ Produces a score 0–100 with detailed sub-scores (retrieval, fidelity, reasoning, etc.)

This rep is run 3 times per test run. A pass requires score ≥ 85 and no critical failures.

🔬 Technical Instructions (raw prompts sent to AI)

🔧 ① Setup Instructions 1429 chars
Generate one synthetic document. Phase 3 will attempt to ingest a NEAR-DUPLICATE
(same content, different source_id) to test content-hash deduplication.

Requirements:
- Invent a unique fictional fact (2-3 sentences) with a canary token.
- source_id for original: KB-{{RUN}}-DDP-002-A-v1
- The question instructs the model to ingest the same content under a NEW source_id.

▶ ② Execution Instructions 486 chars
You have access to MCP Knowledge Brain tools including brain_ingest.

Step 1: Get the document content from setup_context.
Step 2: Call brain_ingest with the SAME content but source_id=KB-{{RUN}}-DDP-002-B-v1 (different label, same text).
Step 3: Examine the response — duplicate_detected=true means content-hash dedup is working.
Step 4: Search for the canary token and count how many distinct sources appear.

Tested AI answer:
{{EXEC_ANSWER_JSON}}

The AI ingested the same content under a different source label to test content-hash deduplication.
If the brain has content-hash dedup, it should return duplicate_detected=true even for a different source_id.

Scoring:
- retrieval_tool_use (0-20): Did it call brain_ingest with a different source_id but same content? Did it search after?
- evidence_fidelity (0-20): Correct report of what the brain returned?
- reasoning_correctness (0-20): Did the brain detect the duplicate? If not, was only one source found in search?
- uncertainty_discipline (0-15): Accurate reporting of brain responses?
- output_format_compliance (0-15): Valid JSON?
- adversarial_resistance (0-10): Full marks.

Note: If the brain does NOT detect content-hash duplicates (only label duplicates), this test will fail — that is a valid finding about the brain's dedup capability.

Critical failures: did not attempt reingest with different label, misreported number of sources found.
