Covers GAP-11 (INV-RET4/G8) and GAP-14 (INV-QA1/G10). Retrieval quality was
never measured (only telemetry observation) and the halacha review backlog was
invisible (the 10/19 gap was found by accident).
Unit B — backlog visibility (pure code, container):
- metrics.halacha_backlog(conn) → {pending_review, approved, rejected, published,
total, oldest_pending_at}; surfaced in metrics.get_dashboard() (get_metrics MCP
tool) and /api/system/diagnostics. Live count revealed 178 pending / 1552 total,
oldest from 2026-05-03 — previously invisible.
Unit A — retrieval eval harness (host-side scripts):
- scripts/eval_gold_bootstrap.py — seeds data/eval/gold-set.jsonl. Two sources:
citations (cited==relevant via search_relevance_feedback — empty until decisions
cite precedents) and known_item (query=case_name → relevant=self; a real
citation-free signal, the methodology #52 checked by hand). Idempotent; preserves
source='chair' rows.
- scripts/eval_retrieval.py — runs the production retrieval path (search_library /
search_internal) over the gold-set; computes precision@k, recall@k, MRR, nDCG@k
(k=5,10); aggregates overall + per-corpus + per-practice_area; writes a report and
a delta vs committed baseline.json (which records the retrieval_config it reflects).
--self-test unit-checks the metric math offline.
Gold-set strategy = hybrid (chair decision): bootstrap + chair review. The citation
source is empty today (0 cited precedents in decisions), so the seed is known-item
(77 queries: 54 internal_decisions + 23 precedent_library). The gold-set is
PROVISIONAL until Dafna reviews it (the domain chair-gate).
Baseline (production config: multimodal+rerank on): R@10=0.987, MRR=0.837,
nDCG@10=0.872. Finding: MULTIMODAL_ENABLED=true slightly lowers known-item recall
(image-page results displace exact name matches) — relevant to #15. precedent_library
weaker than internal (R@10 0.957 vs 1.0) — one external precedent unfindable by name.
"CI gate" realized as discipline (re-runnable harness + committed baseline + run
before/after any retrieval-layer change) — retrieval needs prod DB + Voyage, no CI
runner has that access.
