 ## Session Log
 
+- **2026-04-12 Claude** `06792d8..5c69f77` Day 5-8 close. Documented extractor scope (5 in-scope, 6 out-of-scope categories). Expanded harness from 6 to 18 fixtures (p04 +1, p05 +1, p06 +7, adversarial +2). Per-entry memory cap at 250 chars fixed 1 of 4 budget-contention failures. Final harness: 15/18 PASS. Mini-phase complete. Before/after: rule extractor 0% recall -> LLM 100%; harness 6/6 -> 15/18; active memories 20 -> 36.
 - **2026-04-12 Claude** `330ecfb..06792d8` (merged eval-loop branch + triage). Day 1-4 of the mini-phase completed in one session. Day 2 baseline: rule extractor 0% recall, 5 distinct miss classes. Day 4 gate cleared: LLM extractor (claude -p haiku, OAuth) hit 100% recall, 2.55 yield/interaction. Refactored from anthropic SDK to subprocess after "no API key" rule. First live triage: 51 candidates -> 16 promoted, 35 rejected. Active memories 20->36. p06-polisher went from 2 to 16 memories (firmware/telemetry architecture set). POST /memory now accepts status field. Test count 264->278.
 - **2026-04-11 Claude** `claude/extractor-eval-loop @ 7d8d599` — Day 1+2 of the mini-phase. Froze a 64-interaction snapshot (`scripts/eval_data/interactions_snapshot_2026-04-11.json`) and labeled 20 by length-stratified random sample (5 positive, 15 zero; 7 total expected candidates). Built `scripts/extractor_eval.py` as a file-based eval runner. **Day 2 baseline: rule extractor hit 0% yield / 0% recall / 0% precision on the labeled set; 5 false negatives across 5 distinct miss classes (recommendation_prose, architectural_change_summary, spec_update_announcement, layered_recommendation, alignment_assertion).** This is the Day 4 hard-stop signal arriving two days early — a single rule expansion cannot close a 5-way miss, and widening rules blindly will collapse precision. The Day 4 decision gate is escalated to Antoine for ratification before Day 3 touches any extractor code. No extractor code on main has changed.
 - **2026-04-11 Codex (ledger audit)** fixed stale `main_tip`, retargeted R1 from the API surface to the live Claude Stop hook, and formalized the review write protocol so Claude can consume findings without rewriting them.
