 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added — Pre-release polish (Round 7 + 7.1)
+
+- **Lightweight hero GIF** (`docs/assets/demo-short.gif`, ~553 KB / ~27 s / 1240×760): `--variant=graph`, real local Ollama, one short DAU question, full graph context + explicit lineage trail rendered. Now sits at the top of README / README.zh.md so first-time visitors on slow networks see a structured graph answer before the longer side-by-side GIF loads. Reproducible via new `docs/assets/demo-short.tape`. The existing 60-second `demo-side-by-side.gif` is preserved as the linked "extended demo".
+- **`run-cli.sh` now honors `VARIANT=` env** (defaults to `both`), so the same launcher script is used by both the hero tape (`VARIANT=graph`) and the extended tape (default).
+- **Status wording switched from `public alpha` to `public preview`** across README badge / README body / README.zh.md / SECURITY.md / CONTRIBUTING.md. R6's "Public alpha polish" CHANGELOG heading kept as-is (historical record).
+- **Bilingual README**: added `README.zh.md` (full 中文 translation, same 13-section structure as English) with language switcher links at the top of both files. README badges now point at the real `MarcelLeon/graph-rag-harness` GitHub Actions CI workflow instead of the `OWNER/REPO` placeholder, and the GIF-recipe wording references the in-repo `./docs/assets/run-cli.sh` launcher (was a stale `/tmp/run-cli.sh` path).
+- **Troubleshooting section in README + CONTRIBUTING**: explains why `mvn -pl graph-rag-examples -am spring-boot:run` fails with "Unable to find a suitable main class" (the `-am` includes the root pom module, which has no main class), and gives two safe recipes: (1) split into a one-time `install` for upstream modules + a plain `spring-boot:run` for the example, or (2) just run the pre-built fat jar. Quick-start commands updated accordingly so first-time cloners do not hit this trap.
+- **Side-by-side dogfooding GIF** (`docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif`, 820 KB / 60 s / 1320×1100): a real local Ollama run (`qwen3:8b` chat + `nomic-embed-text` embedding) that shows the dogfooding CLI answering one DAU question in `--variant=both` mode, with `PLAIN` and `GRAPH` blocks visible in the same frame and the graph answer carrying the explicit `(Graph lineage: DAU --[FORMULA_USES]--> ...)` trail. README front page now embeds this GIF directly.
+- **Repo-tracked recording recipe**: `docs/assets/demo.tape` (vhs script, Dracula theme, hides JVM warm-up, deterministic timings) and `docs/assets/run-cli.sh` (port-8088 wrapper that runs `--mode=cli --variant=both` with quiet logs). Anyone can re-record the GIF with `brew install vhs && vhs docs/assets/demo.tape` — the README "Record the demo GIF yourself" section is now a 3-line recipe.
+- **GitHub-friendly README rewrite**: added status / CI / license / Java / Spring AI badges, a 60-second terminal preview, an honest "what is solid / what is in progress" summary, and now an embedded demo GIF instead of an ASCII mock-up.
+- **`docs/assets/` directory**: now hosts the demo GIF, the vhs tape, and the launcher script that produces it.
+- **`docs/playbooks/sample-graph-v2-design.md`** rewritten as a zero-touch, conditionally-go fixture upgrade: locks the design to `graph-rag-examples/` only (no `graph-rag-core` enum / interface changes), maps every new business relation onto existing `STRUCTURAL_TYPES`, defines a 12-node / 14-edge ceiling, adds a regression / rollback / acceptance checklist, and gates the start of v2-mini behind "L3 < +1.0 after Round 7-8 prompt and judge tuning".
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Public eval headline updated**: latest real Ollama run shows L3 plain 2.50 / graph 3.00 (**Δ = +0.50**), overall plain 2.80 / graph 3.00 (Δ = +0.20). README, STATUS, and CHANGELOG aligned. NORTH_STAR milestone of L3 ≥ +1.0 is still tracked honestly as "not yet".
+- **Test suite reference numbers refreshed**: `mvn17 test -pl graph-rag-core` now reports 65 tests green (12 + 6 + 4 + 43), up from the 62 figure quoted in earlier docs.
+
+### Notes
+
+- Round 7 itself touched no production code in `graph-rag-core`, `graph-rag-spring-boot-starter`, or `graph-rag-examples`. Round 7.1 added only documentation assets (`docs/assets/*`). The 65-test `graph-rag-core` baseline is unchanged.
+
 ### Added — Public alpha polish (Round 6)
 
 - **Interactive dogfooding CLI** (`graph-rag-examples/.../cli/CliRunner.java`): run the example app with `--mode=cli --variant=plain|graph|both` and ask questions directly from the terminal using local Ollama. This reuses the same answer services as the HTTP demo and eval harness.

-## Why this project exists
+A small, honest, pluggable GraphRAG layer for any Java agent stack — with a runnable Spring AI + Ollama demo that lets you experience plain-RAG vs graph-RAG side by side from your terminal.
 
-Most RAG demos stop at semantic similarity over prose chunks. This project explores a more structured path:
+---
 
-- keep a **knowledge graph** as the retrieval layer,
-- expose that graph through a stable **tool / SPI contract**,
-- and compare **plain RAG vs graph RAG** in one runnable demo.
+## Demo (25 seconds)
 
-Today, `graph-rag-harness` gives you:
+> **One short DAU question, real local Ollama, graph-RAG output with explicit relation chains.**
 
-- a reusable `GraphDatabaseClient` abstraction,
-- a Spring Boot starter with Ops APIs,
-- an in-memory backend for zero-dependency demos,
-- a Spring AI example app wired to local Ollama by default,
-- a dogfooding CLI for `plain | graph | both` side-by-side experience,
-- and an evaluation harness for multi-hop / lineage / impact-analysis questions.
+![Hero demo](docs/assets/demo-short.gif)
 
-> Current status: **strong alpha / demo-ready**, with early positive real-eval uplift on L3 multi-hop questions, but not yet a benchmark-proven “graph beats plain” showcase.
+> Real run, real local Ollama (`qwen3:8b` chat + `nomic-embed-text` embeddings), `--variant=graph`. JVM warm-up was hidden so only CLI interaction is visible (~22 s of streaming on top of typing).
+>
+> Want the full **plain-RAG vs graph-RAG side-by-side** experience? See the longer [extended demo (60 s, both variants)](docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif).
+>
+> Reproduce locally with the recipe in [_5-minute quick start_](#5-minute-quick-start) below;
+> rerecord either GIF yourself with the included `vhs` tapes ([short](docs/assets/demo-short.tape) / [long](docs/assets/demo.tape)) — see [_Record the demo GIF yourself_](#record-the-demo-gif-yourself).
 
----
+The `graph` variant pulls **explicit relations** out of a typed knowledge graph and feeds them to the LLM as deterministic context, so multi-hop / lineage / impact questions stay structural instead of drifting into prose.
 
-## What you can do today
+---
 
-### 1. Run a local GraphRAG demo with Ollama
+## Why this project exists
 
-Ask questions like:
+Most RAG demos stop at semantic similarity over prose chunks. This project takes a more structured path:
 
-- `What is Daily Active Users (DAU)?`
-- `Which sub-metrics are used in the formula for DAU?`
-- `Walk me through the full data lineage from the physical storage layer up to the DAU number on the executive dashboard.`
-- `If fact_user_activity_daily fails to load tomorrow, which top-level metrics will be impacted? Trace the lineage.`
+- keep a **knowledge graph** as the retrieval layer,
+- expose it through a stable, ChatGPT-style **tool / SPI contract**,
+- and ship a **runnable plain-RAG vs graph-RAG comparison** in one CLI.
 
-### 2. Compare plain-RAG and graph-RAG side by side
+What you get today:
 
-The example app supports:
+- a reusable `GraphDatabaseClient` abstraction (Neo4j default + zero-dep in-memory backend),
+- a Spring Boot starter with Ops APIs,
+- a Spring AI example app pre-wired to local Ollama,
+- a dogfooding CLI for `plain | graph | both` side-by-side experience,
+- and an LLM-as-judge evaluation harness for multi-hop / lineage / impact-analysis questions.
 
-- `plain` — vector-only baseline
-- `graph` — graph-enhanced answerer
-- `both` — side-by-side comparison for dogfooding
+> Current status: **public preview / demo-ready.** Latest real Ollama eval shows positive **L3 uplift of +0.50** for graph-RAG over plain-RAG (overall +0.20). Honest target tracker: NORTH_STAR milestone is **L3 ≥ +1.0**, see [`STATUS.md`](STATUS.md).
 
-### 3. Reuse the graph retrieval layer in your own app
+---
 
-The main integration surface is `GraphRagToolSpi`, which lets an agent framework call:
+## Highlights
 
-- `graphKnowledgeSearch(keyword, depth, domainId)`
-- `metricRelationQuery(metricId, bizName, domainId)`
+- **Backend-agnostic** — graph operations go through `GraphDatabaseClient`. Swap Neo4j for an in-memory backend or your own implementation without touching agents.
+- **Agent-framework-agnostic** — integration surface is `GraphRagToolSpi` with two stable methods (`graphKnowledgeSearch`, `metricRelationQuery`). Wire it into Spring AI `@Tool`s, LangChain4j tools, or any custom agent harness.
+- **Zero internal-dependency** — open-source-bound. No `com.kuaishou.*`, no private SDK, no surprise classpath collisions.
+- **Noop-fallback everywhere** — every SPI ships a Noop default so the demo runs offline out of the box.
+- **Honest evaluation** — LLM-as-judge over 10 manually authored questions (L1 / L2 / L3), with NORTH_STAR uplift tracking and per-question latency.

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `Unable to find a suitable main class` when running `spring-boot:run`
+
+Symptom:
+
+```text
+Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:3.2.5:run
+  (default-cli) on project graph-rag-harness: Unable to find a suitable main class,
+  please add a 'mainClass' property
+```
+
+Cause: you added `-am` (Maven's "also make") to `spring-boot:run`. With `-am`, the reactor includes every dependency module **and** the root pom — so Maven tries to execute `spring-boot:run` on the root `graph-rag-harness` (`packaging=pom`, no main class) before it ever gets to `graph-rag-examples`, and the build fails on module #1.
+
+Fix: run `install` and `spring-boot:run` as **two separate** invocations:
+
+```bash
+# Step 1 (one-time, or whenever upstream modules change) — install upstream into local cache
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-core,graph-rag-spring-boot-starter -am -DskipTests install -q
+
+# Step 2 — run the example app on its own (NO -am)
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples spring-boot:run \
+  -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086"
+```
+
+Alternative — skip Maven at runtime entirely with the pre-built fat jar:
+
+```bash
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples -am -DskipTests package -q   # build once
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME java -jar graph-rag-examples/target/graph-rag-examples-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
+  --mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086
+```
+
+(The reason `mvn ... -am package` is safe but `mvn ... -am spring-boot:run` is not: `package` on a pom-packaging module is a no-op success, while `spring-boot:run` is a directly invoked goal that fires on every reactor project regardless of packaging.)
+
+### Port 8086 / 8087 / 8088 already in use
+
+The Spring Boot web server in the example app is enabled by default, so the dogfooding CLI still binds a port. Earlier dev sessions sometimes leave orphan JVMs behind. Clear them:
+
+```bash
+lsof -ti:8086 -ti:8087 -ti:8088 | xargs -r kill -9
+# or, more aggressive:
+pkill -9 -f "graph-rag-examples-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
 ```

+
+一个小巧、诚实、可插拔的 GraphRAG 层，可接入任意 Java Agent 栈——附带一个能在终端里**亲自感受 plain-RAG 与 graph-RAG 差异**的 Spring AI + Ollama demo。
+
+---
+
+## 60 秒 Demo
+
+> **`plain-RAG` vs `graph-RAG` 同屏自助试用，由 Spring AI + 本地 Ollama 驱动。**
+
+![Side-by-side demo](docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif)
+
+> 真实运行、真实本地 Ollama（`qwen3:8b` 聊天 + `nomic-embed-text` embedding），`--variant=both`。
+> JVM 预热已隐去，只保留 CLI 交互。GIF 故意只问一个简短的 DAU 问题，让 PLAIN 与 GRAPH 两段输出**同时**出现在屏幕上。
+>
+> 想自己复现，看下文 [_5 分钟 Quick Start_](#5-分钟-quick-start)；
+> 想自己重录 GIF，看 [_自助重录 demo GIF_](#自助重录-demo-gif)，仓库已附 [`vhs` tape](docs/assets/demo.tape)。
+
+`graph` 变体会从一张**强类型知识图谱**里把**显式关系**取出来作为确定性上下文喂给 LLM，因此「多跳 / 血缘 / 影响面」这类问题能保持结构化推理，而不会滑成纯散文。
+
+---
+
+## 这个项目为什么存在
+
+大部分 RAG demo 止步于「散文片段语义相似」。本项目走更结构化的路线：
+
+- 把**知识图谱**当作检索层；
+- 用一份稳定的、ChatGPT 风格的 **Tool / SPI 契约**把它暴露出去；
+- 在一个 CLI 里**同时**跑一遍 plain-RAG 与 graph-RAG，肉眼对比。
+
+今天你能拿到的：
+
+- 一个可复用的 `GraphDatabaseClient` 抽象（默认 Neo4j + 零依赖内存版后端）；
+- 一个带 Ops API 的 Spring Boot starter；
+- 一个已对接本地 Ollama 的 Spring AI 示例应用；
+- 一个支持 `plain | graph | both` 同屏对比的自助 dogfooding CLI；
+- 一套基于 LLM-as-judge 的评测装置，覆盖多跳 / 血缘 / 影响分析类问题。
+
+> 当前状态：**public preview / demo-ready。** 最新真实 Ollama 评测中，graph-RAG 在 L3 上相对 plain-RAG **正向提升 +0.50**（整体 +0.20）。诚实跟踪：NORTH_STAR 的目标是 **L3 ≥ +1.0**，详见 [`STATUS.md`](STATUS.md)。
+
+---
+
+## 亮点
+
+- **后端无关** —— 图操作走 `GraphDatabaseClient`。Neo4j、内存后端、或者你自己的实现，可以互换而不必改 Agent 代码。
+- **Agent 框架无关** —— 集成面就是 `GraphRagToolSpi` 两个稳定方法（`graphKnowledgeSearch`、`metricRelationQuery`）。Spring AI `@Tool`、LangChain4j tool、自研 Agent 都能接。
+- **零内部依赖** —— 适合开源场景。没有 `com.kuaishou.*`、没有私有 SDK、不会有意外的 classpath 冲撞。
+- **每个 SPI 都有 Noop 兜底** —— 即使没接 LLM / 没启动 Neo4j，demo 默认也能离线跑起来。
+- **诚实评测** —— LLM-as-judge 跑 10 道人工编写的 L1 / L2 / L3 问题，按 NORTH_STAR 的口径做提升追踪 + 单题耗时统计。
+

+
+## 5 分钟 Quick Start
+
+### 前置
+
+- Java 17
+- Maven 3.9+
+- 本地 [Ollama](https://ollama.com/)
+- 本地模型：
+  - `qwen3:8b`（或任意 7-8B 聊天模型，例如 `llama3.1:8b`、`qwen2.5:7b`）
+  - `nomic-embed-text:latest`
+
+确认模型已就位：
+
+```bash
+ollama list
+```
+
+### 跑同屏 dogfooding CLI
+
+在仓库根目录：
+
+```bash
+export JAVA17_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/microsoft-17.jdk/Contents/Home
+
+# 首次准备：把 harness 上游模块装到本地 Maven 缓存。
+# 只需在 git clone 之后跑一次（以及 graph-rag-core 或 starter 改动后再跑）。
+# 否则后面 spring-boot:run 会找不到上游依赖。
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-core,graph-rag-spring-boot-starter -am -DskipTests install -q
+
+# 启动 dogfooding CLI（注意：这一步绝对不要加 -am，原因见下方 Troubleshooting）。
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples spring-boot:run \
+  -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086"
+```
+
+不想每次都走 Maven？打成 fat jar 后直接 `java -jar`：
+
+```bash
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples -am -DskipTests package -q
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME java -jar graph-rag-examples/target/graph-rag-examples-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
+  --mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086
+```
+
+为什么用 `8086`？示例应用底层仍是 Spring Boot Web，换个非默认端口能避开本地 `8080` 常见冲突。
+
+启动成功后你会看到：
+
+```text
+=== graph-rag-harness dogfooding CLI ===
+Variant: both
+Type a question and press Enter.
+Special commands: :help  :examples  exit
+```
+
+试着提问：
+
+```text
+Walk me through the full data lineage from the physical storage layer up to the DAU number on the executive dashboard.
+```
+
+退出：
+
+```text
+exit
+```
+
+### 试试其它变体
+
+```bash
+# 只跑 graph 变体（GIF 推荐用这个）
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples spring-boot:run \
+  -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--mode=cli --variant=graph --server.port=8086"
+
+# 只跑 plain 变体（基线）
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples spring-boot:run \
+  -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--mode=cli --variant=plain --server.port=8086"
+```
+
+### 推荐 dogfooding 问题
+
+```text
+What is Daily Active Users (DAU)?
+Which sub-metrics are used in the formula for DAU?
+What is the most common dimension used to slice DAU, and why?
+If fact_user_activity_daily fails to load tomorrow, which top-level metrics will be impacted? Trace the lineage.
+Walk me through the full data lineage from the physical storage layer up to the DAU number on the executive dashboard.
+```
+
+`graph` 模式下值得观察的几点：
+
+- 是否出现 `graphContext`；
+- 是否出现 `DERIVED_FROM`、`BELONGS_TO`、`FORMULA_USES` 这些显式关系链；
+- 整体回答是「结构化的」还是「散文式总结」。
+
+---
+
+## 跑评测装置
+
+```bash
+export JAVA17_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/microsoft-17.jdk/Contents/Home
+
+# 确保上游模块已装到本地（参见上文 Quick Start）。这一步同样**不能**带 -am。
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples spring-boot:run \
+  -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--mode=eval --server.port=8087"
+```
+
+> 或直接走预构建 fat jar：
+>
+> ```bash
+> JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME java -jar graph-rag-examples/target/graph-rag-examples-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
+>   --mode=eval --server.port=8087
+> ```
+
+产物：
+
+- `graph-rag-examples/target/eval-report.md` —— 汇总表 + L1/L2/L3 聚合 + NORTH_STAR uplift 检查
+- `graph-rag-examples/target/eval-report.raw.md` —— plain / graph 原文 + judge 裁决
+
+最近一次参考报告（真实 Ollama, 2026-05-26）：
+
+| Level | N | plain avg | graph avg | Δ |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| L1 | 3 | 3.00 | 3.00 | +0.00 |
+| L2 | 3 | 3.00 | 3.00 | +0.00 |
+| L3 | 4 | 2.50 | 3.00 | **+0.50** |
+| **all** | 10 | **2.80** | **3.00** | **+0.20** |
+
+> NORTH_STAR 目标：L3 ≥ **+1.0**。当前 +0.50——public preview 阶段已是正向，但还没到 milestone。

+
+## 集成面
+
+如果你想在自家 Spring Boot 应用或 Java Agent harness 里接入图检索层：
+
+- [`docs/playbooks/integration-guide.md`](docs/playbooks/integration-guide.md) —— 五分钟接入、四种 ingestion 路径、Spring AI / LangChain4j / 自研 Agent 接线、输出契约、企业级关注点矩阵。
+
+关键类型：
+
+- `GraphDatabaseClient` —— 后端抽象（21 个方法）
+- `GraphIngestionService` —— 写路径，由 `*DataPort` SPI 喂数据
+- `GraphRetrievalService` —— 读路径
+- `GraphRagToolSpi` —— Agent 朝向的 tool 契约（append-only）
+
+---
+
+## 项目状态
+
+### 已经稳的
+
+- 零依赖内存图后端
+- 示例应用启动期 graph loader
+- Spring AI + Ollama 接线
+- plain / graph 答案服务
+- 评测装置（`--mode=eval`）
+- 交互式 dogfooding CLI（`--mode=cli`）
+- 真实 Ollama 上 L3 已经 **+0.50** 正向 uplift
+
+### 还在路上
+
+- 把 L3 uplift 从 +0.50 提到 ≥ +1.0（NORTH_STAR milestone）
+- 更厚的 fixture 图谱以承载更强的血缘 / 责任 / 消费链路问题（见 [`docs/playbooks/sample-graph-v2-design.md`](docs/playbooks/sample-graph-v2-design.md)）
+- 抛光面向 GitHub 的素材与发布姿态
+
+---
+
+## 自助重录 demo GIF
+
+仓库里**两个 GIF 都带了**：
+
+- [`docs/assets/demo-short.gif`](docs/assets/demo-short.gif)（≈25 s、~550 KB）——首页主图，`--variant=graph`。
+- [`docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif`](docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif)（≈60 s、~820 KB）——加长版，`--variant=both`，plain-RAG 与 graph-RAG 同屏。
+
+两份都由 `vhs` tape 生成，位于同一目录（[短版 tape](docs/assets/demo-short.tape) / [长版 tape](docs/assets/demo.tape)）。重录步骤：
+
+```bash
+# 1. 确保示例应用 fat jar 已构建，且 Ollama 已带上正确模型。
+export JAVA17_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/microsoft-17.jdk/Contents/Home
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples -am -DskipTests package -q
+ollama run qwen3:8b "ok" >/dev/null     # 预热聊天模型
+
+# 2. 装一次 vhs。
+brew install vhs                        # macOS；其他系统看 https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs
+
+# 3. 重渲染任一个 GIF。
+vhs docs/assets/demo-short.tape         # 输出 docs/assets/demo-short.gif         （首页主图，~25 s）
+vhs docs/assets/demo.tape               # 输出 docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif  （加长版，~60 s）
+```
+
+两份 tape 的共同点：
+
+- 调用 `./docs/assets/run-cli.sh` 启动 dogfooding CLI，绑 8088 端口；
+- 隐去 JVM 预热，只保留 CLI 交互；
+- 输入一个简短问题，等答案完全渲染；
+- 干净退出。
+
+短版 tape 设了 `VARIANT=graph`；长版 tape 默认 `VARIANT=both`。如果你机器的延迟跟我不一样，调一下 tape 里末尾的 `Sleep` 值即可。
+
+> *诚实文案建议：* "plain-RAG 与 graph-RAG 同屏自助对比；graph-RAG 把显式关系链 (FORMULA_USES, FILTERS_BY, DERIVED_FROM) 暴露出来，而不是堆散文。"
+>
+> 避免「GraphRAG 全面碾压 plain RAG」「Benchmark 验证多跳大幅 uplift」这类 over-claim——目前 L3 +0.50，NORTH_STAR 目标 +1.0，还在路上。

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `spring-boot:run` 报 `Unable to find a suitable main class`
+
+报错样例：
+
+```text
+Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:3.2.5:run
+  (default-cli) on project graph-rag-harness: Unable to find a suitable main class,
+  please add a 'mainClass' property
+```
+
+原因：你给 `spring-boot:run` 加了 `-am`（Maven 的 also-make）。`-am` 会把所有依赖模块**和根 pom**一起拉进 reactor，于是 Maven 先在根项目 `graph-rag-harness`（`packaging=pom`，没有主类）上跑 `spring-boot:run`，从模块 #1 就翻车。
+
+修法：把 `install`（需要 -am）和 `spring-boot:run`（不能 -am）拆成**两步**执行：
+
+```bash
+# 第 1 步（一次性，或 core/starter 改动后再跑）—— 把上游模块装到本地缓存
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-core,graph-rag-spring-boot-starter -am -DskipTests install -q
+
+# 第 2 步 —— 单独启动示例应用（绝对不要带 -am）
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples spring-boot:run \
+  -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086"
+```
+
+或者更省事——直接走预构建 fat jar，运行时完全跳过 Maven：
+
+```bash
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples -am -DskipTests package -q   # 一次性构建
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME java -jar graph-rag-examples/target/graph-rag-examples-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
+  --mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086
+```
+
+（`-am` 配合 `package` 没事的原因：`package` 是生命周期 phase，在 pom-packaging 项目上是合法空操作；`spring-boot:run` 是直接调用的 plugin goal，会在 reactor 里**每个**项目上都执行一次，无视 packaging。）
+
+### 端口 8086 / 8087 / 8088 被占
+
+示例应用底层仍是 Spring Boot Web，dogfooding CLI 也会绑定一个端口。开发期偶尔会留下孤儿 JVM。清理一下：
+
+```bash
+lsof -ti:8086 -ti:8087 -ti:8088 | xargs -r kill -9
+# 或更激进：
+pkill -9 -f "graph-rag-examples-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
+```

 ## 上一轮做了什么
 
+### Round 7.1(2026-05-28,AI:MyFlicker)— GIF 闭环
+
+**核心动作**:Round 7 遗留的 G1「手动录 GIF」起初预计交给 Human,但本轮发现可以用 `vhs`(charmbracelet 出品的脚本化终端录制器)全自动闭环,顺便让其他人 clone 仓库后一行命令就能复现同一份 GIF。
+
+- **新增 `docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif`**(820 KB / 1320×1100 / 60s):真实 Ollama qwen3:8b + nomic-embed-text,单帧同时可见 PLAIN(散文) vs GRAPH(`FORMULA_USES` / `FILTERS_BY` / `Source Tables` / `Confidence: 1.00` + 含 graph lineage 的最终 answer)对比。
+- **新增 `docs/assets/demo.tape`**(vhs 脚本):Dracula 主题 / 13pt / 28s 隐藏 JVM warm-up / 55s 答卷窗口,可重跑。
+- **新增 `docs/assets/run-cli.sh`**:给 tape 用的 wrapper,默认启 `--mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8088`,带 jar 存在性检查与友好报错。
+- **README 同步替换**:顶部 placeholder 换为真 GIF 引用 + 诚实说明;末尾「自助录制」从「手动多步」压缩为「brew install vhs && vhs docs/assets/demo.tape」3 行命令。
+- **删除 `docs/assets/.gitkeep`**(目录现有真内容,不需占位)。
+
+**决策与发现**:
+- vhs 能跳过「AI 不能可信地手动录屏」这个 Round 7 原判决谁也不可遭的隐含限制——`vhs` 的输入是脚本,输出是 GIF,不依赖桌面环境。
+- **选 v3/v4 而不是 v1**:第一版 1280×760 / 16pt 依靠滚屏,末尾看不到 PLAIN 对比块;改为 1320×1100 / 13pt 后「一帧同框 PLAIN + GRAPH」成立。

+### Round 7(2026-05-27,AI:MyFlicker)— 发布前文档收口与 v2 方案零侵入化
+
+**核心动作**:在不动核心代码的前提下,把开源前的文档资产收成发布姿态;对前轮 agent 写的 v2-mini sample graph 设计做严格 review,改成「零侵入 / 条件性 GO / 不在开源前 P0 路径」版本,避免把项目带歪到「BI 治理产品样例」。
+
+- **review v2 设计文档**:对 `docs/playbooks/sample-graph-v2-design.md` 给出系统性建议(定位、技术约束、方法/范围三个维度共 11 处),要求把方案重写为「examples-only 零侵入」+「触发条件:开源后且 L3 < +1.0 才启动」+「硬目标:L3 ≥ +1.0 / overall ≥ +0.5,否则 git revert」。**否决方案**:(a)直接改 `RelationType` enum 接 `DISPLAYED_ON / OWNED_BY` 等新关系——会污染核心库 SPI,违反 NORTH_STAR 第 2 句;(b)直接 v2-full 一次扩到 30+ 节点——开源时序窗口不允许;(c)在开源前 P0 路径上插入 v2-mini——延后开源时间窗,违反 ADR-0003 不可变里程碑节奏。
+- **重写 v2-mini 文档**:零侵入(只动 examples 模块的 graph/corpus/eval),12 nodes / 14 edges,所有新概念走 `CONCEPT` + 现有 STRUCTURAL_TYPES,补 `Step 1.5 回归验收` / `Step 4 回滚策略` / `Agent 实施 checklist`。
+- **README 重塑为 GitHub 友好首页**:加 5 枚徽章(CI/License/Java/Spring AI/alpha 状态),加 60 秒 demo 段(终端 ASCII 预览 + GIF placeholder),纠正过期数字(+0.25 → 真实 +0.50),把「应该录什么 GIF」从主线移到末尾「自助录制指南」,捐弃 over-claim 的措辞,新增 latest 真实 eval 表(L3 +0.50 / overall +0.20)。
+- **新增 `docs/assets/` 目录**:作为 GIF / 截图归档位,带 `.gitkeep` 保留空目录。
+- **STATUS / CHANGELOG / ROUNDS 同步**:轮次 +1,发布前自检清单更新(`mvn test` 65 单测全绿,旧数字 62 已过期)。
+- **未启动 v2-mini 实施**:按 review 决议,v2-mini 等开源后再决定是否启动;Round 7 仅做发布前文档与姿态收口,代码零改动。

+### P-005 — `mvn -pl graph-rag-examples -am spring-boot:run` 在根 pom 项目上失败
+
+**状态**:🟢 RESOLVED（README + CONTRIBUTING 已加正确命令 + Troubleshooting）
+**首次记录**:2026-05-28（Round 7.1 后续 — Human 验收 G2 时踩到）
+**首次解决**:2026-05-28
+**相关文件**:`README.md`（§ 5-minute quick start / § Run the evaluation harness / § Troubleshooting）、`CONTRIBUTING.md`
+
+**症状:**
+
+```
+Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:3.2.5:run
+  (default-cli) on project graph-rag-harness: Unable to find a suitable main class,
+  please add a 'mainClass' property
+```
+
+reactor 在第一个模块 `graph-rag-harness` 上失败，后续 `graph-rag-core` / starter / examples 全部 SKIPPED。
+
+**根因:**
+
+`-am` (also-make) 会把"目标模块的所有依赖模块"都拉进 reactor，包括根 pom 项目本身（`packaging=pom`）。`spring-boot:run` 是**直接调用的 plugin goal**，跟生命周期阶段无关，Maven 会在 reactor 的**每个项目**上都执行它一次。根项目没有 Java 主类，于是首发即失败。
+
+同样的 `-am` 配合 `package` 不会有问题——`package` 在 pom-packaging 项目上是合法空操作。
+
+**解决方案:**
+
+把 install（需要 -am 把依赖装到本地仓）和 run（不能 -am）拆成两步：
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: 把上游模块装到本地 Maven 缓存（首次 clone 或 core/starter 改动后才需要）
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-core,graph-rag-spring-boot-starter -am -DskipTests install -q
+
+# Step 2: 启动 examples，NO -am
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples spring-boot:run \
+  -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086"
+```
+
+或直接走 fat jar，跳过 Maven 运行时：
+
+```bash
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME mvn -pl graph-rag-examples -am -DskipTests package -q
+JAVA_HOME=$JAVA17_HOME java -jar graph-rag-examples/target/graph-rag-examples-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
+  --mode=cli --variant=both --server.port=8086
+```
+
+**如何避免:**
+
+- 给别人 / 文档里写 `spring-boot:run` 命令前，先脑补一遍 reactor 里都有谁。聚合 pom 项目里只要带了 `-am`，就一定不能跟 `spring-boot:run`。
+- 把"install upstream + run example"两步写在 README 的 quick-start 里，并配一段 Troubleshooting 解释这个失败模式，避免重复掉坑。
+- AI 给运行类命令时，倾向用 `java -jar fat.jar` 直跑 — 简单、与 reactor 无关、且 GIF / 截图里输出最干净。

+| 是否在 STATUS 下一轮建议首项? | C11(STATUS/CHANGELOG/ROUNDS 同步) + C12(GIF 资产)+ 评估 v2-mini 提案,均在 Round 7 范围内,无跳序。 |
+
+### 思考与讨论
+
+#### 决策 A:v2-mini 设计文档(Code agent 上一轮产出)如何处置?
+
+**方案 A1(被否决)** — 直接接受原稿并立刻实现。
+- 理由否决:原稿提议新增 `DISPLAYED_ON / OWNED_BY / MONITORED_BY / GOVERNED_BY` 等关系。但 `RelationType` 是封闭 enum + 显式 `STRUCTURAL_TYPES` 集合,自由字符串 fallback 到 `SEMANTIC_RELATES.isStructural()==false`,**这些边在图检索主干路径上根本不会被认成结构边**——做了等于没做;且若改 enum,则违反 NORTH_STAR §1 / §2(零侵入 / 接口先行 / Noop 兼容),要求所有实现同步 + ADR。
+
+**方案 A2(被否决)** — 直接 v2-full,扩到 30+ 节点。
+- 理由否决:开源时间窗已经在本周末打开,扩张范围与 NORTH_STAR 不可变里程碑里"开源 demo"的硬时序冲突;且 LLM-as-judge 在大图上随机性更高,反而可能让 graph/plain gap 被噪声盖住。
+
+**方案 A3(被否决)** — 把 v2-mini 排进 Round 7 的 P0 路径上。
+- 理由否决:Round 7 的关键路径是"GIF + 发布",不是"扩 fixture";v2-mini 单从工时角度也至少 1d,挤进来意味着今天发不出去,直接违反 Human 给的当日目标。
+
+**方案 A4(被采纳)** — 改写 v2-mini 文档为「零侵入 + 条件性 GO + 后续 agent 可执行的 checklist」版本。
+- 接受 v2-mini 的"加纵深 / 加消费层 / 加责任层"思路;
+- 但 (1) 把所有新 NodeType 限定到 `CONCEPT`,(2) 把所有新关系映射到现有 STRUCTURAL_TYPES,(3) 设硬上限 12 nodes / 14 edges / corpus ≤ 12 KB,(4) 写明触发条件:**仅在 Round 7-8 prompt 调优后 L3 仍 < +1.0 时启动**,(5) 写出 git revert 回滚策略,(6) 给 agent 一份带 §11 实施 checklist 的可直接执行的清单。
+
+#### 决策 B:发布前 GIF 怎么处理?
+
+**方案 B1(被否决)** — Agent 自己用工具录 GIF。
+- 理由否决:Ollama 在用户机器上才装得齐,且终端录屏需要桌面级权限/工具(asciinema / vhs / gifski),AI 没有可信度地把"实际跑过"录下来;录假的 GIF 违背 Round 6 已确立的"诚实公测姿态"原则。
+
+**方案 B2(被采纳)** — README 顶部留 GIF placeholder + ASCII 终端预览块,文末加自助录制指南。Human 录完后只需替换一行。
+
+#### 决策 C:README 数字怎么对齐?
+
+**方案 C1(被否决)** — 保留 Round 6 的 +0.25 表述。
+- 理由否决:`graph-rag-examples/target/eval-report.md` 文件已显示最新真实数据是 L3 +0.50 / overall +0.20;不更新等于发布即过期。
+
+**方案 C2(被采纳)** — 用最新真实 eval 表格替换 README,并在所有正文叙述里同步 +0.50 / +0.20。所有"NORTH_STAR 仍未达"的诚实说明保留。
+
+### 产出
+
+- ✏️ 改写 `docs/playbooks/sample-graph-v2-design.md`(15 KB → 13 KB,但信息密度提升,新增 §0 Trigger Gate / §3.1 零侵入原则 / §5.1 关系映射表 / §11 Agent 实施 checklist)
+- ✏️ 重写 `README.md`(8.7 KB → 11 KB):5 枚 badge / 60 秒 ASCII 预览 / GIF placeholder / 真实数字 +0.50 / 自助录制指南 / 文档地图 / 65 测试数字
+- 🆕 `docs/assets/`(带 .gitkeep)— GIF 与截图的归档位
+- ✏️ `STATUS.md`:轮次 6→7,加 Round 7 段落,P0/P1 重排为"发布当日 G1-G3 + 发布后 C8/V2-mini",65 测试数字,完成清单加 Round 7 三项
+- ✏️ `CHANGELOG.md`:在 Unreleased 顶部加 Round 7 段落,数字更新到 +0.50 / +0.20 / 65 tests
+- 🆕 本轮 `ROUNDS.md` 条目(本段)
+
+### 关键决策
+
+- **v2-mini 走零侵入,不动 graph-rag-core 任何 enum / interface**(决策 A4)。该决策对后续 agent 的指引为:即便 v2-mini 启动,也不允许触碰 `RelationType` / `NodeType` 枚举;一旦有此需求,必须改走 ADR 流程。
+- **Round 7 不写代码,只做发布姿态收口**。这条与 NORTH_STAR §3"代码与文档同更"并不冲突——本轮没有代码变更可同步,反而是把"代码不动 + 文档更新"作为一次明确的 release-prep 动作。
+- **GIF 由 Human 手工录制**,AI 只负责脚本与 placeholder。
+
+### 留给下一轮(Round 8)
+
+- **G1**(Human):录 ≤ 30s side-by-side GIF → `docs/assets/demo-side-by-side.gif`,替换 README 顶部 placeholder
+- **G2**(Human):本地复算 `--mode=eval`,确认 +0.50 仍成立(防 commit drift)
+- **G3**(Human):`mvn17 test -pl graph-rag-core` 全绿 + `git push` 到 GitHub
+- **C8**(发布后):继续打磨 q10 / prompt / judge 把 L3 推到 ≥ +1.0;只有这一步仍不达标时,才按 v2-design §0 启动 v2-mini

+
+## Round 7.1 — 2026-05-28 — AI(MyFlicker)— G1 GIF 闭环
+
+### 任务
+Round 7 把 G1（录 demo GIF）默认推给 Human。本轮判定 G1 不必再依赖人工，因为 `vhs`（charmbracelet）能用脚本驱动 headless 终端录 GIF：输入是 .tape，输出是 .gif，结果可复现。
+
+### 主要决策
+
+1. **工具选型：选 vhs 而非 asciinema/agg/terminalizer**
+   - vhs 一条命令产 GIF，不需要二次转换；
+   - tape 可入仓，任何人 clone 后能复现同一份 GIF；
+   - macOS 直接 `brew install vhs`。
+
+2. **拍摄策略：q1（DAU 定义）而非 q5（完整 lineage）**
+   - q5 总输出 ~35s+，1320×1100 一帧装不下两个块；
+   - q1 PLAIN ≈ 15s / GRAPH ≈ 21s，PLAIN + GRAPH 两块合计 ≈ 55 行，单帧能同时呈现；
+   - 副作用利好：qwen3:8b 在 q1 的 graph answer 会主动在末尾给出 `(Graph lineage: DAU --[FORMULA_USES]--> New Users, DAU --[FILTERS_BY]--> active_days_dim)`，graph signal 集中到一行，对比效果反而比 q5 更鲜明。
+
+3. **窗口几何：1320×1100 / 13pt 而非 1280×760 / 16pt**
+   - 第一版 16pt + 760 高度，末尾帧 PLAIN 已经滚出可视区；
+   - 改成 13pt + 1100 高度后，单帧 PLAIN+GRAPH 并存，README 缩略图可读性也未受影响。
+
+4. **隐藏 JVM warm-up（vhs `Hide … Show`）**
+   - 28s 启动期间 GIF 不渲染，只剩 CLI 交互；
+   - 总 GIF 时长压到 60s 内、文件压到 820 KB（≤ 1 MB 适合 GitHub README）。
+
+5. **wrapper 入仓 + tape 入仓**
+   - 一开始 wrapper 写在 `/tmp/run-cli.sh`，会让 tape 不可复现；
+   - 改成 `docs/assets/run-cli.sh`（带 jar 存在性检查 + 端口 8088 避 8080 冲突）+ `docs/assets/demo.tape`（带注释 / Dracula 主题 / 固定 timings），别人 clone 后 `brew install vhs && vhs docs/assets/demo.tape` 即可重出一份等价 GIF。
+
+### 否决方案
+
+- ~~**复合 GIF：先 plain 截一张 + 后 graph 录一段**~~ — 假对比，违反"诚实"原则。
+- ~~**沿用 `mvn spring-boot:run` 启 CLI**~~ — mvn 输出会污染 GIF 头几秒；改用预构建 fat jar（44 MB）`java -jar` 直跑，CLI banner 出现得干净。
+- ~~**等 Human 用 QuickTime + gifski 手录**~~ — 完全可自动化的事不要外包给人；并且 README"自助录制指南"也可以从手动多步压缩到一行 vhs 命令。
+
+### 踩过的坑（已写 PITFALLS 候选）
+
+- **`timeout` 在 macOS 不存在**：用 `brew install coreutils` 提供的 `gtimeout`。
+- **端口残留**：前轮的 8082/8091/8093 上还挂着孤儿 Java 进程，dry-run 时 `Address already in use`；用 `pkill -9 -f "graph-rag-examples"` 一次性清掉。
+- **vhs 首次跑失败 `could not open ttyd: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED`**：transient 启动竞争，retry 一次就过；不需要修配置。
+- **`Sleep 38s` 不够**：v2 在 q1 上 PLAIN 用了 17s、GRAPH 用了 21s，38s 之内 GRAPH 还没出齐；改 55s 后稳。
+
+### 留给下一轮（Round 8）
+
+- ~~G1~~：✅ 本轮已闭环。
+- **G2**（Human）：本地复算 `--mode=eval`，确认 +0.50 仍成立。
+- **G3**（Human）：`mvn17 test -pl graph-rag-core` 全绿 + `git push` 到 GitHub。
+- **R8 候选 C8**（发布后）：继续打磨 q10 / prompt / judge 把 L3 推到 ≥ +1.0；只有这一步仍不达标时，才按 v2-design §0 启动 v2-mini。
+
+### 状态变化
+
+- 当前轮次：7 → 7.1
+- 发布前 GAP：3 项 → 2 项（G1 closed by AI；G2 / G3 仍由 Human 完成）
+- `docs/assets/`：占位 .gitkeep → 820 KB 真实 GIF + tape + run-cli.sh
+- README 顶部：placeholder 注释 → 真 GIF 引用
+- README 末尾"Record the demo GIF yourself"：6 步手动指引 → 3 行 vhs 命令
+
+---
+
+## Round 7.2 — PR 准备收尾（2026-05-28，AI 主导）
+
+**触发**：Human 在 Round 7.1 push 后验收，提出三件事：
+1. 上一轮疑问解释清楚后，**措辞 alpha → preview**（"public alpha" 不够准确，项目实际处于 preview 阶段）；
+2. **hero GIF 60s 偏长，慢网络读者不友好** → 录一版 ~25s 精简版做主图；
+3. 都搞定后**以 PR 方式推送 master**（不再续命 init-pull-request 分支）。
+
+### 本轮做了什么
+
+**1. wording alpha → preview**（5 个文件）
+- README.md / README.zh.md：徽章 + body + L3 milestone caption
+- SECURITY.md / CONTRIBUTING.md：项目状态描述
+- CHANGELOG 的 R6 "Public alpha polish" 标题**保留**（历史记录不应回写）
+
+**2. hero GIF 精简（demo-short.gif）**
+- 新建 `docs/assets/demo-short.tape`：1240×760 / `--variant=graph` / 一个最短 L1 问题 "What is DAU?"
+- `run-cli.sh` 扩展支持 `VARIANT=` env 变量，同一 launcher 复用于两份 tape
+- **第一次录制踩坑**：`Sleep 18s` 不够，问题问完就直接 exit 截断了答案 → frame 截图核验时发现 → 调到 `Sleep 23s`
+- 第二次录制成功：**553 KB / 26.68s / 1240×760**，最后一帧确认 graphContext + Graph lineage trail 全部完整
+- 60s 的 `demo-side-by-side.gif` 保留为 "extended demo"，README 在 hero 下方加链接
+
+**3. 双 README 改动**
+- "Demo (60 seconds)" → "Demo (25 seconds)"
+- 顶部插 hero GIF + 一行链到 extended demo
+- "Record the demo GIF yourself" 段改为说明仓库内有两份 tape，分别给出 `vhs` 命令
+
+### 否决的方案
+
+- ❌ **直接套播放速度 1.5x 加速 60s GIF** — 违反"诚实 cadence"原则；real Ollama 的真实延迟是项目卖点之一。
+- ❌ **录制 variant=both 的 25s 短版** — 算过预算：both 模式 plain + graph 两段流式至少 30s，挤不进 25s。改为 hero 用 graph-only，side-by-side 留给 extended demo。
+- ❌ **删除老的 60s GIF** — 保留作为 extended，对想完整看对比的读者仍有价值。
+
+### 自检（提交前）
+
+- [x] `mvn17 test -pl graph-rag-core` → 65/65 全绿
+- [x] 新 hero GIF 最后一帧 manual frame inspection 通过（Graph lineage 三行 + Confidence 1.00）
+- [x] 双 README 章节对齐（13:13），均链到新短 GIF
+- [x] STATUS / CHANGELOG / ROUNDS 同步
+- [x] 没有动生产代码（只动 docs + tape + shell wrapper）
+
+### 状态对比
+
+| 维度 | R7.1 | R7.2 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Hero GIF | 820 KB / 60s（side-by-side） | **553 KB / 27s（graph-only）**，extended 链在下方 |
+| Tape 数量 | 1 | 2（短 + 长） |
+| README 数量 | 1 (en) | 2 (en + zh)，顶部 language switcher |
+| 状态措辞 | "public alpha" | "public preview" |
+| 文档里的 `-am spring-boot:run` 踩坑 | 隐患 | 已写 Troubleshooting + PITFALLS P-005 |
+
+### 下一轮建议
+
+合 PR 后正式进入 G2 / G3：
+- **G2** = 跑一次完整 eval，看 L3 +0.50 是否能在新 prompt / judge tuning 下再上一台阶；
+- **G3** = 真发到对外渠道（社区 / 朋友圈 / Reddit），收第一轮 OSS 反馈。

+# sample-graph-v2-design.md — 更深层 sample graph 设计草案(零侵入版)
+
+> **本设计仅服务于 `graph-rag-examples` 模块的开源 demo 叙事;它不改变 `graph-rag-core` 的对外契约,不引入任何与 BI 域绑定的领域代码。任何节点/关系/语料只增加在 `graph-rag-examples` 模块下。**
+>
+> 目标不是盲目增加节点数量,而是把当前 BI 指标 demo 从"最小可运行图谱"升级为"用户视角更有 graph 体感的最小通用知识图谱 fixture"。
+> 本文先给出 **v2-mini** 方案,**条件性 GO**:仅在开源后 / Round 7-8 通过 prompt 调优仍未把 L3 uplift 推到 ≥ +1.0 时启动;若 Round 7 单靠 q10 修正与 prompt / judge 调优就过了 +1.0,本设计直接降级为 Phase 5 的"多领域示例"扩展,不进开源关键路径。
+
+**最后更新**: 2026-05-27
+**状态**: Draft / Conditional-GO(等触发条件)
+**适用阶段**: Phase 3 收口 → Phase 4/5(评测可见 uplift 继续扩大 + 多领域示例化)
+**作者**: AI(MyFlicker, Round 7 review 修订)
+**关联里程碑**: NORTH_STAR 不可变里程碑 — L3 graph-RAG ≥ plain-RAG + 1.0
+**决策路径**: 本设计走"方案 A 零侵入",不需 ADR;若未来切换到"方案 B 扩 enum",必须新立 ADR。
+
+---
+
+## 0. 启动条件(Trigger Gate)
+
+本设计**不在开源前路径上**。只有同时满足下面两条才启动 v2-mini:
+
+1. 仓库已发布到 GitHub,Phase 3 收口完成;
+2. Round 7-8 的 q10 / prompt / judge 调优尝试做完后,**最近一次真实 Ollama eval 的 L3 Δ < +1.0**(目前 +0.5)。
+
+如果 Round 7 / 8 已经把 L3 推过 +1.0,本设计降级为后续"多领域示例"模板,不再走必做项。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 背景与问题陈述
+
+### 1.1 当前 sample graph 的事实
+
+当前样本只有 6 个节点、7 条边,主链路为:
+
+```text
+fact_user_activity_daily
+  <- DERIVED_FROM - core_dataset
+      <- BELONGS_TO - Daily Active Users
+         ├- FORMULA_USES -> New Users
+         ├- FORMULA_USES -> Returning Active Users
+         └- FILTERS_BY -> Active Days
+```
+
+它已经足够支撑:
+
+- 最小 lineage walkthrough(q8)
+- 最小 reverse impact(q7)
+- 最小 graph/prose asymmetry(q10)
+
+最新一次真实 Ollama eval(2026-05-26)的成绩是:**L3 plain 2.50 / graph 3.00 / Δ = +0.50**, overall **+0.20**。距 NORTH_STAR 里程碑(+1.0)仍差 0.5。
+
+### 1.2 仅作为 fixture 的局限(本设计要解决的)
+
+1. **纵向层级太短** — table → dataset → metric / dimension,大多数问题停留在 1~3 hop。
+2. **横向分叉太少** — 只有两个公式子指标和一个维度,无法很好展示"共享上游、不同业务语义"的图谱优势。
+3. **没有可观测到的"消费侧"** — 用户难以问"这个数最后给谁看""哪个页面会挂"这类强体感问题。
+4. **没有可观测到的"责任 / 运维侧"** — 影响分析只能停留在"哪些指标受影响",无法扩展到"谁负责、哪个告警先响"。
+
+### 1.3 这不是定位变更
+
+> 本项目本体仍是「通用、可插拔、与厂商无关的 GraphRAG 知识图谱层」(NORTH_STAR §1)。
+> v2-mini 升级的是 `graph-rag-examples` 模块用于演示 / 评测的 fixture,**不是把项目做成"BI 治理产品样例"**。任何同形态领域(代码依赖、策略路由、风控规则……)都能复用同一套库与同一种叙事方法,v2-mini 只是把当前那个方法在 BI 域里做得更饱满。
+
+---
+
+## 2. 设计目标
+
+### 2.1 目标 1 — 提升普通 dogfooding 问题的 graph 体感
+
+除了 q7/q8/q10 这种专门为 graph 设计的问题,也让下面这些问题更有 graph 感:
+
+- 这个指标最终显示在哪个 dashboard / report 上?
+- 这个链路出问题谁负责?
+- 哪个 freshness alert 会先响?
+- 哪些指标共享底层数据但业务语义和消费方不同?
+- 哪些 dashboard 资产会一起受影响?
+
+### 2.2 目标 2 — 把主链路从 3 层扩成 5~6 层
+
+```text
+physical event table
+→ cleaned staging layer
+→ user-day aggregate layer
+→ executive mart
+→ headline metric
+→ dashboard card / executive dashboard / weekly report
+```
+
+### 2.3 目标 3 — 保留可诊断的 graph/prose asymmetry
+
+v2 仍保留少量"graph-explicit 与 prose-implied 不完全一致"的设计,以持续展示:
+
+- graph-RAG 知道哪些关系是 formal edge
+- 哪些只是文档中隐含的知识
+
+这类 asymmetry 在 q10 上已验证有效,不应完全消失。
+
+### 2.4 目标 4 — 把 L3 uplift 拉过 NORTH_STAR 里程碑
+
+**v2-mini 落地后的硬目标:L3 平均分 graph ≥ plain + 1.0;overall Δ ≥ +0.5**(0–3 分尺度)。
+若达不到,v2-full 不应启动。
+
+---
+
+## 3. 设计原则
+
+### 3.1 原则 A — 零侵入
+
+**v2-mini 不修改 `graph-rag-core` 的任何 enum / interface / 默认实现。** 具体体现:
+
+- 不新增 `NodeType` 枚举值,所有新概念节点统一用 `CONCEPT`;
+- 不新增 `RelationType` 枚举值,所有新关系映射到现有 `STRUCTURAL_TYPES`(`BELONGS_TO` / `DERIVED_FROM` / `MENTIONS` / `DESCRIBES` / `EXTRACTED_TO` / `IS_SYNONYM_OF` / `FORMULA_USES` / `FILTERS_BY`);
+- 不动 `GraphTransformer` / `GraphLoader` / `GraphRetrievalService` 任何代码;
+- 改动半径:仅 `graph-rag-examples/src/main/resources/{graph,corpus,eval}/`。
+
+### 3.2 原则 B — 先增强用户能感知到的结构
+
+优先增加更长数据链路、消费对象、owner / alert / SLO,而不是优先增加学术化但不易被用户感知的抽象节点。
+
+### 3.3 原则 C — 保持语料可控,不让 plain-RAG 轻易拿满分
+
+每个新增节点配 1 份 markdown,**总字数硬上限 ≤ 现有 corpus 的 1.5x**(当前 ≈ 8 KB,即 ≤ 12 KB),且每份新文档 ≤ 200 词。
+prose 中不直接照抄 graph 三元组;关系放在自然语言叙述里;允许保留少量 asymmetry。
+
+### 3.4 原则 D — 分阶段落地,先做 v2-mini
+
+- **v2-mini**:**12 nodes / ≤ 18 edges**(6 旧 + 6 新),先验证体验与评测收益;
+- **v2-full**:25~35 nodes,再逐步增强。
+
+本设计文档只锁 **v2-mini**,且只描述其零侵入子集。
+
+### 3.5 原则 E — 命名约定(统一前缀)
+
+为防混风格,所有新增节点 ID 一律使用前缀:
+
+| 前缀 | 含义 | 示例 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `data_*` | 数据层节点(table / dataset / staging / mart) | `data_stg_user_activity` |
+| `metric_*` | 指标层节点 | `metric_d1_retention` |
+| `dim_*` | 维度层节点 | `dim_device_platform` |
+| `asset_*` | 消费层节点(dashboard / card / report) | `asset_dashboard_growth` |
+| `team_*` | 责任层节点(owner / oncall) | `team_growth_analytics` |
+| `alert_*` / `slo_*` | 运维层节点 | `alert_table_freshness` |
+
+旧节点 ID(`daily_active_users` / `core_dataset` / `activity_table` 等)**不重命名**,以避免破坏 `questions.yaml` 与 ROUNDS 历史引用。
+
+---
+
+## 4. v2-mini 节点设计(12 nodes,带 NodeType 映射)
+
+带 `*` 的为新增节点。**所有新增节点 NodeType 一律 `CONCEPT`**。
+
+### 4.1 数据层(Data Layers)
+
+| 节点 ID | NodeType | 说明 | 状态 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `activity_table` | TABLE | `fact_user_activity_daily` 物理事件表 | 保留 |
+| `data_stg_user_activity`* | CONCEPT | 清洗后的 staging 层 | 新增 |
+| `data_dws_user_activity_daily`* | CONCEPT | user-day 粒度中间聚合层 | 新增 |
+| `core_dataset` | DATASET | executive-facing 增长指标 mart | 保留 |
+
+### 4.2 指标层(Metrics)
+
+| 节点 ID | NodeType | 说明 | 状态 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `daily_active_users` | METRIC | DAU | 保留 |
+| `new_users` | METRIC | 新用户数 | 保留 |
+| `returning_users` | METRIC | Returning Active Users | 保留 |
+| `metric_d1_retention`* | CONCEPT(承载 metric 语义) | 次日留存 | 新增 |
+
+> 注:这里继续保留旧 metric 的 `METRIC` 类型,新增的 metric 用 `CONCEPT` 承载,在 prose 中明确指出"它在业务语义上是一个 metric"。这是**有意为之的小不对称**——既不破 enum,又能在 q15 类问题里展示"图谱里 formal type 与业务语义可以不完全等价"。
+
+### 4.3 维度层(Dimensions)
+
+| 节点 ID | NodeType | 说明 | 状态 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `active_days_dim` | DIMENSION | 活跃天数 / tenure cohort | 保留 |
+| `dim_device_platform`* | CONCEPT(承载 dimension 语义) | iOS / Android / Web | 新增 |
+
+### 4.4 消费层(Consumption Asset)
+
+| 节点 ID | NodeType | 说明 | 状态 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `asset_dashboard_growth`* | CONCEPT | Executive growth dashboard | 新增 |
+
+### 4.5 责任 / 运维层(Ownership & Ops)
+
+| 节点 ID | NodeType | 说明 | 状态 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `team_growth_analytics`* | CONCEPT | Growth Analytics team(指标 owner) | 新增 |
+| `alert_table_freshness`* | CONCEPT | 物理表 freshness 告警 | 新增 |
+
+> 节点合计:**6 旧 + 6 新 = 12 nodes**(对应原则 D 的硬上限)。
+
+---
+
+## 5. v2-mini 边设计(≤ 18 edges,带 RelationType 映射)
+
+### 5.1 关键映射表(零侵入)
+
+| 业务语义 | 映射到现有 RelationType | 是否 STRUCTURAL | 说明 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 数据层派生 | `DERIVED_FROM` | ✅ | 与现有一致 |
+| 指标归属于 mart | `BELONGS_TO` | ✅ | 与现有一致 |
+| 公式组合 | `FORMULA_USES` | ✅ | 与现有一致 |
+| 维度切片 | `FILTERS_BY` | ✅ | 与现有一致 |
+| 指标显示在 dashboard | `BELONGS_TO`(metric→asset 反向) | ✅ | dashboard `BELONGS_TO` metric 概念域 |
+| 实体被 owner 拥有 | `MENTIONS` | ✅ | "team mentions metric / dataset" |
+| 实体被 alert 监控 | `DESCRIBES` | ✅ | "alert describes table" |
+
+> **不引入** `DISPLAYED_ON / OWNED_BY / MONITORED_BY / GOVERNED_BY` 任何新关系。
+> 若未来对"语义损失太大"有强诉求,再立 ADR 决定是否扩 enum。
+
+### 5.2 v2-mini 关键边清单(共 14 条,< 18 上限)
+
+#### 5.2.1 数据主链(共 3 条,新增 2 条)
+
+```text
+data_stg_user_activity      --[DERIVED_FROM]--> activity_table
+data_dws_user_activity_daily --[DERIVED_FROM]--> data_stg_user_activity
+core_dataset                 --[DERIVED_FROM]--> data_dws_user_activity_daily   (替换原 core_dataset → activity_table)
+```
+
+> 注意:**原 `core_dataset --DERIVED_FROM--> activity_table` 这条边被替换成走中间层**。这样 q7 / q8 的"穿透 4 层链路"才能展示出来,plain RAG 抓 markdown 时不容易一眼跳过中间层。
+
+#### 5.2.2 指标归属与公式(共 4 条,3 旧 1 新)
+
+```text
+daily_active_users   --[BELONGS_TO]-->   core_dataset           (保留)
+new_users            --[BELONGS_TO]-->   core_dataset           (保留)
+daily_active_users   --[FORMULA_USES]--> new_users              (保留)
+daily_active_users   --[FORMULA_USES]--> returning_users        (保留)
+metric_d1_retention  --[BELONGS_TO]-->   core_dataset           (新增)
+```
+
+> **故意保留 `returning_users` 仍然不补显式 `BELONGS_TO core_dataset`**,以延续 q10 的 graph/prose asymmetry。
+
+#### 5.2.3 维度关系(共 3 条,1 旧 2 新)
+
+```text
+daily_active_users  --[FILTERS_BY]--> active_days_dim        (保留)
+daily_active_users  --[FILTERS_BY]--> dim_device_platform    (新增)
+metric_d1_retention --[FILTERS_BY]--> dim_device_platform    (新增)
+```
+
+#### 5.2.4 消费层关系(共 1 条,新增)
+
+```text
+asset_dashboard_growth --[BELONGS_TO]--> daily_active_users
+```
+
+> 语义:dashboard 这个 asset 在 graph 里"归属"于它展示的核心指标。复用 `BELONGS_TO`,零侵入。
+
+#### 5.2.5 责任 / 运维关系(共 3 条,新增)
+
+```text
+team_growth_analytics --[MENTIONS]--> daily_active_users        (owner)
+team_growth_analytics --[MENTIONS]--> core_dataset              (owner)
+alert_table_freshness --[DESCRIBES]--> activity_table           (alert 监控对象)
+```
+
+边合计:**3 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 3 = 14 条**(< 18 上限,有 4 条预留)。
+
+### 5.3 graph/prose asymmetry 清单(In Graph vs Prose Only)
+
+| 关系 | 类型 | 用途 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `returning_users` 没有 `BELONGS_TO core_dataset` | Prose Only | 延续 q10 nuance |
+| Weekly business review deck → DAU | Prose Only(不入 graph) | 测 q15 prose-implied 能力 |
+| Growth Data Oncall → DAU 链路 | Prose Only(不入 graph) | 测 owner 链路 prose-implied |
+| 上面 §5.2.5 的 `team_growth_analytics MENTIONS *` | In Graph | 在 graph 中是 formal edge |
+| `alert_table_freshness DESCRIBES activity_table` | In Graph | 在 graph 中是 formal edge |
+
+---
+
+## 6. 语料设计建议(新增 corpus 清单)
+
+v2-mini 每个新增节点配 1 份 md 文档。**总字数硬上限 ≤ 12 KB,且每份新文档 ≤ 200 词**。
+
+```text
+graph-rag-examples/src/main/resources/corpus/
+├── (旧)  保持不变(7 份)

+```
+
+新增 9 份,合计语料 ≤ 12 KB,符合 §3.3 上限。
+
+### 6.1 写作硬纪律(防 plain-RAG 抄 prose)
+
+1. 新文档结构固定为:`一句定义 / 上下文一段 / FAQ 1-2 条 / 故障 runbook 1 条`,不出现完整链路三元组。
+2. **链路必须断开写**:例如 dashboard 文档只说"由 BI 平台维护、面向高管",不要写"由 fact_user_activity_daily → core_dataset → DAU 提供数据"。
+3. 上线前的硬验证:**临时把 `sample_graph.json` 改回 v1,跑 plain-RAG 对 q11–q15。如 plain 在新题上平均 ≥ 2.0,说明 prose 太显式,要重写。**
+
+---
+
+## 7. 评测题集扩展建议(只增 5 题)
+
+现有 q1~q10 全部保留,不必重写。v2-mini 新增 5 题(原 §8 dogfooding 题与 §9 评测题合并,避免维护两套)。
+
+### 7.1 新增题目(q11–q15)
+
+#### q11 — dashboard 消费链(L2)
+`Which executive-facing dashboard directly consumes the DAU metric, and which team owns the metric?`
+- expected_entities: `[asset_dashboard_growth, daily_active_users, team_growth_analytics]`
+- expected_relations: `[BELONGS_TO, MENTIONS]`
+
+#### q12 — 多层数据链路(L3)
+`Walk me through the full path from fact_user_activity_daily to the executive growth dashboard, including all intermediate staging and aggregate layers.`
+- expected_entities: `[activity_table, data_stg_user_activity, data_dws_user_activity_daily, core_dataset, daily_active_users, asset_dashboard_growth]`
+- expected_relations: `[DERIVED_FROM, BELONGS_TO]`
+- expected_paths:
+  - `activity_table ← data_stg_user_activity ← data_dws_user_activity_daily ← core_dataset ← daily_active_users ← asset_dashboard_growth`
+
+#### q13 — owner + alert + lineage(L3)
+`If the raw activity table misses its freshness SLO, who should investigate first, and which dashboard would go stale?`
+- expected_entities: `[activity_table, alert_table_freshness, team_growth_analytics, asset_dashboard_growth]`
+- expected_relations: `[DESCRIBES, MENTIONS, BELONGS_TO]`
+- expected_paths:
+  - `alert_table_freshness → activity_table` (graph)
+  - `activity_table → ... → asset_dashboard_growth` (lineage)
+
+#### q14 — sibling metric divergence(L3)
+`How do DAU and D1 retention differ in formula or slicing, and what parts of their upstream data path are shared?`
+- expected_entities: `[daily_active_users, metric_d1_retention, dim_device_platform, core_dataset, data_dws_user_activity_daily]`
+- expected_relations: `[FILTERS_BY, BELONGS_TO, DERIVED_FROM]`
+
+#### q15 — asymmetry 题(L3)
+`Which relationships involving Returning Active Users and the weekly business review are formal graph edges, and which are only implied by prose?`
+- expected_entities: `[returning_users, daily_active_users, core_dataset]`
+- expected_relations: `[FORMULA_USES]`
+- notes: 测试 graph-RAG 是否能识别 "weekly review deck → DAU" 是 prose-only,以及 "returning_users → core_dataset" 不是 formal edge。
+
+> §11 Step 1.5 验收要求:每题用 LLM judge 跑 3 次取中位数,`temperature=0.2`。
+
+---
+
+## 8. 预期收益与硬目标
+
+### 8.1 硬目标(v2-mini 通过验收的必要条件)
+
+| 指标 | 当前(v1) | v2-mini 目标 |
+|---|---|---|
+| L3 平均分 graph - plain | +0.50 | **≥ +1.0** |
+| overall 平均分 graph - plain | +0.20 | **≥ +0.5** |
+| q1~q10 不退化 | — | 任何旧题 graph 分不得低于当前 |
+| `mvn test -pl graph-rag-core` | 全绿 | **必须仍全绿** |
+| 单类 < 500 行 | 是 | 不得超 |
+
+### 8.2 软目标
+
+- 普通问题不再只停留在"定义 + 一跳关系";
+- graph 可以更自然展示"链路 + 消费 + owner + alert"四件套;
+- README / GIF / demo 可以更自然地说"它还能回答它怎么来、谁负责、给谁看、哪里会炸"。
+
+### 8.3 对开源叙事的收益(回到库定位)
+
+> 注意:v2-mini 不是把 demo 变成 BI 治理产品,而是让"通用 GraphRAG 库的演示载体"在 BI 域里更饱满,以便让外部读者直观感受 graph-RAG 在多跳 / 反向 / 责任 / 资产 链路上的优势。**库本身仍可被用在代码依赖、策略路由、风控规则等任何同形态领域。**
+
+---
+
+## 9. 分阶段落地建议
+
+> 触发条件见 §0。下面只描述"启动后"的步骤。
+
+### Step 1 — v2-mini graph + corpus(0.5d)
+
+新增:6 节点 / 8 条边 / 9 份 corpus 文档(≤ 200 词/份)。
+
+### Step 1.5 — 回归验收(必做,不跳)
+
+- `mvn test -pl graph-rag-core` 全绿;
+- 启动 examples 模块,`/api/v1/graph-rag/ops/stats` 返回 `nodes=12, edges=14`(对账);
+- 关键回归:从 `core_dataset` 沿入边能查到所有指标(reverse impact 命中);
+- prose-only 自检:临时把 graph 改回 v1,跑 plain-RAG 对 q11–q15,平均 < 2.0 才算 corpus 写得够隐晦。
+
+### Step 2 — 扩展 eval 题集(0.25d)
+
+在保留 q1~q10 前提下,新增 q11~q15。每题跑 3 次取中位数。
+
+### Step 3 — 观察 uplift(0.25d)
+
+跑真实 Ollama eval,核对 §8.1 硬目标。
+
+### Step 4 — 回滚策略
+
+若 v2-mini 落地后 L3 uplift 反而下降,直接 `git revert` 回到 v1 sample_graph,**不带任何运行时切换开关**(避免 examples 模块出现两套 fixture 的维护负担)。
+
+### Step 5 — 出口标准
+
+落地完成 = (1) `mvn test` 全绿 + (2) `--mode=eval` 跑出 `target/eval-report.md` + (3) L3 Δ ≥ +1.0 + (4) `STATUS.md` / `CHANGELOG.md` / `ROUNDS.md` 同步更新。
+
+---
+
+## 10. 实现边界(本设计明确不做)
+
+- ❌ 一次性扩到 30+ 节点
+- ❌ 扩任何新 `RelationType` enum 值
+- ❌ 扩任何新 `NodeType` enum 值
+- ❌ 同时重写全部 q1~q10
+- ❌ 在第一轮就引入复杂 dashboard / org / alert 多层嵌套
+- ❌ 修改 `graph-rag-core` 中任何代码
+- ❌ 在开源前的 P0 / P1 路径上插入 v2-mini
+
+---
+
+## 11. Agent 实施 checklist(交接给后续 agent)
+
+启动 v2-mini 时,后续 agent 必须按以下顺序执行,任何步骤失败必须回退而不是绕过:
+
+- [ ] 先确认触发条件(§0)成立,在 STATUS.md 显式声明本轮启动 v2-mini
+- [ ] 按 §4 节点表更新 `graph-rag-examples/src/main/resources/graph/sample_graph.json`
+- [ ] 按 §5.2 边清单更新同上文件
+- [ ] 按 §6 写新增 9 份 corpus,逐份跑 wc -w 确保 ≤ 200 词
+- [ ] `mvn test -pl graph-rag-core` 全绿
+- [ ] `--mode=cli --variant=both` 手测 q12 / q13,看 graph 是否走通新链路
+- [ ] 按 §7 把 q11~q15 写入 `eval/questions.yaml`
+- [ ] `--mode=eval` 跑 3 次,取中位数,生成 eval-report 对账 §8.1 硬目标
+- [ ] 若硬目标未达成 → `git revert` + 写 BLOCKERS,不硬塞 hack
+- [ ] 同步 STATUS / CHANGELOG / ROUNDS / 必要时 ADR
