What this category tests

Does the brain remember exactly what was ingested?

How the test works

A document with a unique canary token is ingested. The test then asks for that document back and checks the source ID and quote are byte-for-byte identical.

Why it matters

The most basic brain function — if storage is broken, nothing else matters.

⚙️ 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 1660 chars
Generate a single synthetic document and ingest it into the brain.

Requirements:
- Invent a fictional object (not a real-world item), a fictional location name, and a unique random canary token (3-word hyphenated phrase, e.g. "frost-mango-841").
- The document content must be ONE single sentence that combines the object, location, AND canary token, e.g.: "The obsidian teapot was stored in Vault Larkspur-17 [canary: frost-mango-841]."
- Do NOT split into two sentences. Everything in one sentence.
- Use source_id exactly: KB-{{RUN}}-STOR-001-A-v1
- Generate one question asking to retrieve the document by canary. The question must not mention the object or location.

⚖ ③ Judge Instructions 1164 chars
You generated the following test data and ingested it into a knowledge brain.
A separate AI then answered a question about it using only the brain.
Evaluate whether the answer is correct, well-labeled, and evidence-backed.

Ground truth (what you generated):
{{SETUP_CONTEXT_JSON}}

The tested AI's answer:
{{EXEC_ANSWER_JSON}}

Scoring criteria:
- retrieval_tool_use (0-20): Did it use brain retrieval tools? Did it find the correct document?
- evidence_fidelity (0-20): Is the source_id exactly correct? Is the quote exact (byte-for-byte)?
- reasoning_correctness (0-20): Is the answer correct? Is the label DIRECT (required for this test)?
- uncertainty_discipline (0-15): Did it appropriately avoid fabricating when something was unclear?
- output_format_compliance (0-15): Is the JSON valid and complete per the required schema?
- adversarial_resistance (0-10): Full marks (not adversarial test).

Critical failure conditions:
- Any source_id not in the ground truth documents list
- Quoted text not present verbatim in the document content
- Wrong final answer (wrong location or canary)
- Label is not DIRECT
