What this category tests

Does the brain return the exact KB-* source label, not an internal ID?

How the test works

After ingesting documents, the test asks the brain to cite specific sources. Citations must use the KB-* label format the document was stored with, never the internal src_* IDs.

Why it matters

Source IDs are the brain's contract for provenance. If they're wrong, evidence can't be traced.

⚙️ 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 1190 chars

Generate a document with a distinct title and a specific object tag. Ingest it.
Generate a question asking for the source_id (not the title) of the document containing the tag.

Requirements:
- Document has a memorable title (e.g. "Garden Note") and content containing a unique tag (e.g. "The orchid tag reads ORC-55.").
- source_id: KB-{{RUN}}-SID-003-A-v1
- Question: "What is the source_id of the document containing tag <tag-value>?" — must ask for source_id, not title.

Check: answer contains the source_id "KB-{{RUN}}-SID-003-A-v1", NOT the document title.
If the agent returned the document title as the answer instead of the source_id, that is a failure.
Critical failures: returned title instead of source_id, hallucinated source_id.
