What

Makes the chain of custody load-bearing in the UI. The backend attaches a frozen, schema-validated, citation-gated projection of the Phase 2 device cards — recommendations.v1 (ADR 0003) — to Phase2Result.recommendations, but no component read it. This surfaces it as a verification layer (it cannot replace the rich cards: it's flat, drops uncited cards, and carries no grouping/rationale).

Changes

A. Per-card "Cited · validated" trust pill (recommendationsContract.ts + view-model stamping)

  • New pure, node-tested helper: normKey, buildContractValidatedKeys, isCardValidated, formatContractValue, projectContractRows.
  • Matching happens inside the view-model builders at raw device|parameter granularity — the only place the raw Phase 2 strings still exist (the per-card pill cannot match in the component because patch cards are merged-by-device and the raw parameter is gone). Synthetic cards (Limiter fallback, MIDI Clip Guide, stereo-width) have no Phase 2 origin and are never marked.
  • Pill renders only when contractValidated === true, beside the existing corpus badge, using a native title= (not Tooltip — avoids the Radix provider the corpus badge deliberately skips).

B. "Reconstruction Contract" table (ReconstructionContractPanel.tsx)

  • Collapsible DataTable of the verbatim envelope (Device · Parameter · Value · Cited measurements) — the honest machine view of what's exported to the asa-ableton .als generator. Citation cells resolve against Phase 1, falling back to the raw path so a cell is never blank. Mounted after Patch Framework (V2 only); renders nothing when the envelope is absent/empty.

C. Retry-handler catch fix (App.tsx)

  • handleRetryPitchNoteExtraction / handleRetryInterpretation were try/finally with no catch; a failed pre-monitor create*Attempt POST stopped the spinner with no error + an unhandled rejection. Added a guarded catch mirroring handleStartAnalysis + the surrounding onError's shouldIgnoreRun guard.

Design review

Vetted by two sequential reviews before implementation. They caught and the plan/code fixed: device-only matching was structurally unsound (→ raw device|parameter at build time); Collapsible/Tooltip were the wrong primitives; the gain vs normalizeParameterLabelOutput Gain normalization crux (backend stores gain) now has a dedicated regression test; the tri-state pill was dropped for a binary one.

Verification

  • 14 new contract tests (incl. the normalization crux, the merge semantic, and the raw-path fallback)
  • tests/services: 823 passed (61 files)
  • npm run lint + npm run build clean

DOM-dependent behavior (pill render, retry error banner) is left to the Playwright smoke gate in CI's Frontend job — it needs the live stack, not bootable in this worktree.

…bleton + the rec-proof harness

The ASA -> asa-ableton boundary (and the GOAL.md fixture loop) ran on
hand-extracted interpretation JSON: the result lives embedded in the run
snapshot, the warn-and-keep validationWarnings in a different subtree
(attempt diagnostics), and provenance in a third. asa-ableton's Gate
alpha fixture and every per-fixture phase2.json in the owner plan were
produced by snapshot surgery — an unversioned, fragile handoff.

1. phase2_export.py + GET /api/analysis-runs/{run_id}/export/phase2:
   single self-contained phase2-export.v1 envelope — the stored
   producer_summary interpretation result verbatim (incl. the frozen
   recommendations.v1 projection), the authoritative Phase 1 payload its
   citations resolve against (invariant #2 verifiable offline), the full
   validationWarnings trail, and provenance. Thin lookup-and-serve,
   csv_export.py pattern; 404 RUN_NOT_FOUND / PHASE2_EXPORT_NOT_AVAILABLE.
   Derived and read-only — exports stored state, rewrites nothing.
2. recommendation_evaluation.coerce_phase2_payload: --phase2 (and a
   fixture-dir phase2.json) now accepts either a bare Phase2Result or
   the export envelope, so the downloaded file feeds the scorer as-is.
3. docs/ASA_ABLETON_BOUNDARY.md: the cross-repo contract — file-coupled
   not code-coupled, consumer guidance (prefer recommendations.v1
   entries; dedupe is a consumer concern — Gate alpha's 60.7%-vs-50%
   skip-rate accounting; flagged != invalid), and the v1 freeze policy.

Tests: +15 (10 builder incl. envelope-key freeze, 3 route, 2 unwrap).
tests.test_server 227 OK; adjacent suites 110 OK; full discover matches
the unmodified-tree baseline exactly (env-only matplotlib/torch gaps).

…chno 145 + UKG 2-step 132

Owner confirmed genre fit for house/melodic-techno/acid but swapped the other
two recommendation-corpus fixtures to genres they actually produce:

- techno_rumble_130 -> hard_techno_rumble_145: distorted sine kick (Drum Buss
  on the kick chain, Boom 45 Hz), rumble reverb return + held sub, 145 BPM.
  Stays the pilot fixture (smallest spec, 9 device entries).
- dnb_reese_174 -> ukg_2step_shuffle_132: 2-step shuffle at 132 BPM, G minor.
  Swing lives in the committed MIDI (57% 16ths), asserted via
  grooveDetail.hihatSwing / perDrumSwing.snare / bassDetail.grooveType.
  Retires the fixture whose proxy fingerprint misread BPM half-time (174->116).

Both new fixtures ship spec-only (phase1Fingerprint: null, no fingerprint
file) — the distrusted _synthetic proxy fingerprints are retired with the old
slugs, and load_fixture tolerates the missing file (citation checks SKIP until
the real Ableton render lands). truePeak intents now use dBTP per ADR 0002
(old manifests carried stale linear targets). New MIDI clips bake correct
tempo metas and were byte-verified (the retired dnb melody encoded ~116 BPM,
not 174). ukg also ships audio_drums.mid so the shuffle answer key is
reproducible without hand-programmed groove.

Docs updated: NEEDS.md (genre confirmation resolved, inventory + build queue),
plans/owner-actions-recommendation-proof-plan.md (pilot + render order),
RECOMMENDATION_VERDICT.md (corpus-composition note; old per-fixture proxy
numbers not comparable).

Verified: evaluate_recommendations.py --fixture <both> --source baseline
(catalog-valid, zero issues), --self-test PASS, 34/34
tests.test_recommendation_evaluation.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01YB5QFBLL4nbqPSdtcnxrLy
…G decision)

Owner resolved the wire-or-demote choice from NEEDS.md's dead-code finding:
the deterministic recommendation engine stays as the scored free baseline in
the GOAL.md sub-goal 3 three-source comparison but is NOT to be wired into
the product. Score-driven product improvements land on the Phase 2 provider
path instead.

Recorded in: the module header (abletonDevices.ts), the eval bridge header,
NEEDS.md (decision + the now-moot citation-emit candidate), BACKLOG.md,
RECOMMENDATION_VERDICT.md, and CLAUDE.md's Backport Candidates line.

No code changes — comments and docs only. Verified: npm run lint green,
evaluate_recommendations.py --self-test PASS.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01YB5QFBLL4nbqPSdtcnxrLy
…ion script

--source claude in evaluate_recommendations.py scores a stored Phase2Result
from the Claude CLI provider (sibling phase2.claude.json, same ingestion as
the gemini source). scripts/gen_claude_phase2.py produces those files at zero
Gemini cost: it runs each fixture's stored Phase 1 fingerprint through the
exact server path (server._run_interpretation_request) with
ASA_PHASE2_PROVIDER=claude, so output flows the identical parse/citation/
catalogue/recommendations.v1 validation tail as Gemini.

Research-only (mirrors the evaluate_* convention); deleting both restores the
product exactly. Verified: --self-test PASS; --source claude SKIPs cleanly
when no phase2.claude.json exists.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01YB5QFBLL4nbqPSdtcnxrLy
…ixtures

Generated via scripts/gen_claude_phase2.py through the exact server path
(ASA_PHASE2_PROVIDER=claude, model sonnet, MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0): both fully
cited (custody penalty 1.000), zero validation warnings, 31 recommendations.v1
envelope entries each.

Scored with --source claude against the same proxy fingerprints the recorded
Gemini numbers used: acid 0.485 (Gemini 0.172), house 0.424 (Gemini 0.343).
melodic_techno_arp_124 evidence + the verdict write-up follow.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01YB5QFBLL4nbqPSdtcnxrLy
…rdict

Completes the zero-Gemini-cost Claude scoring on the proxy corpus:

- melodic_techno_arp_124 phase2.claude.json: 13 rec cards, fully cited, zero
  warnings, aggregate 0.424 — resolving the "Gemini 0 recs" outlier as
  Gemini-side (the fixture's fingerprint is interpretable).
- RECOMMENDATION_VERDICT.md: dated head-to-head section. Claude (sonnet,
  text-only) 0.485/0.424/0.424 vs recorded Gemini 0.172/0.343/0.000 on
  identical fingerprints; mean 0.444 vs 0.172 on the shared subset. Caveats
  (proxy corpus, modality asymmetry, model class) stated inline.
- NEEDS.md sub-goal 3: status updated; source list now includes claude.
- docs/PHASE2_PROVIDER.md: 2026-06-11 addendum — scoring result + operating
  notes (MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0 for headless calls, model pinning, 300-365s
  measured latency, session-limit failure mode).
- CLAUDE.md: one-line MAX_THINKING_TOKENS note on ASA_CLAUDE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
- gen_claude_phase2.py: defaults MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0 and an 1800s timeout
  (overridable) so the next run doesn't rediscover the thinking-budget trap.

Verified: --self-test PASS; full-corpus --source claude scores 3, SKIPs the
2 spec-only fixtures cleanly.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01YB5QFBLL4nbqPSdtcnxrLy
The Phase 1 contract spans analyze.py output, JSON_SCHEMA.md, and types.ts
with no generated source of truth (tripwire #3). Most of parsePhase1Result
passes detail blocks through verbatim, but ~12 parseOptional* reconstructors
rebuild field-by-field — and a backend field one of them forgets to forward
is silently dropped, breaking valid Phase 2 citations to it. This is the
exact mechanism that dropped reverbDetail.preDelayMs / perBandRt60.* and the
vocalDetail stem proxies.

Add tests/services/phase1CitationContract.test.ts: feed a comprehensive
payload through the real parsePhase1Result, run the real citation walker
(collectPhase1FieldPaths) on the result, and assert every citable path
survives. Each field is populated non-null, so a path is present only if the
reconstructor carried it through — drop a field in any parseOptional* and its
assertion fails by name. Verified teeth: re-injecting the preDelayMs drop
fails exactly that one assertion and no other.

Also point tripwire #3 at the new guard.

Verified: 59 contract assertions green; full tests/services suite 809 green;
npm run lint clean.

…) + retry catch

The backend attaches a frozen, schema-validated, citation-gated projection of
the Phase 2 device cards (recommendations.v1, ADR 0003) to
Phase2Result.recommendations, but the UI never read it — so the chain of
custody was decorative, not load-bearing, in the render path. Surface it as a
verification layer (it must not replace the rich cards: it is flat, drops
uncited cards, and carries no grouping).

- New apps/ui/src/services/recommendationsContract.ts (pure, node-tested):
  normKey (raw device|parameter — NOT normalizeParameterLabel), buildContract-
  ValidatedKeys, isCardValidated (binary; all eligible merged items must match;
  synthetic/uncited → false), formatContractValue (number+unit+range / string
  passthrough), projectContractRows (resolves citations, raw-path fallback).
- Match at build time in buildMixChainGroups/buildPatchCards/buildPatchGroups
  (raw device|parameter granularity, where the raw strings still exist), stamp
  contractValidated on the view-models; synthetic cards (Limiter fallback, MIDI
  Clip Guide, stereo-width) are never marked. Render a "Cited · validated" Pill
  (native title=, not Tooltip — no Radix provider) beside each mix/patch card.
- New ReconstructionContractPanel.tsx: collapsible DataTable of the verbatim
  envelope (device · parameter · value · cited measurements) — the machine view
  exported to the .als generator. Mounted after Patch Framework (V2 only).
- App.tsx: add a guarded catch to both retry handlers — a failed pre-monitor
  create*Attempt POST previously stopped the spinner with no error + unhandled
  rejection. Mirrors handleStartAnalysis + onError's shouldIgnoreRun guard.

Design vetted by two sequential reviews (device-only matching was unsound;
Collapsible/Tooltip are not the right primitives; the gain-vs-Output-Gain
normalization crux has a regression test).

Verified: 14 new contract tests (incl. the normalization crux); tests/services
823 green; npm run lint + build clean. DOM-dependent pill/retry behavior is
left to the Playwright smoke gate (needs the live stack).

Closing as superseded. The per-card recommendations.v1 wiring this PR set out to add landed independently on main via the UI-overhaul series (#169#184) — and more richly, pairing each card with its actual contractEntries rather than a boolean. This PR was also built on a now-26-commit-stale base (pre the AnalysisResults section-extraction + CollapsibleCard refactor), so it conflicts.

Reopening the two parts that are still unique to this work as a fresh PR off current main:

  • the retry-handler catch fix (both retry handlers are still try/finally with no catch on main, so a failed pre-monitor create*Attempt POST silently stops the spinner), and
  • a standalone Reconstruction Contract table (the verbatim envelope exported to the .als generator — main surfaces the contract per-card but has no single machine-view table), rebuilt on the refactored components and reusing main's formatContractValue/formatContractRange.

Two changes off current main, salvaged from the superseded #185 (its per-card
recommendations.v1 signal already landed via the UI-overhaul series, more
richly, as contractEntries):

- ReconstructionContractPanel: a collapsible single machine-view of the
  recommendations.v1 envelope (device · parameter · value · working range ·
  cited measurements) — the verbatim, schema-validated, citation-gated set
  exported to the asa-ableton .als generator. main pairs the contract per-card;
  this is the complementary flat table. Built on the CollapsibleCard + DataTable
  primitives, reusing main's formatContractValue/formatContractRange (no
  duplicate projection). Renders nothing when the envelope is absent/empty.
  Mounted after Secret Sauce (V2 only).
- Retry-handler catch: handleRetryPitchNoteExtraction / handleRetryInterpretation
  were try/finally with no catch, so a failed pre-monitor create*Attempt POST
  (backend down / 4xx) stopped the spinner with no error + an unhandled
  rejection. Added a guarded catch mirroring handleStartAnalysis + onError's
  shouldIgnoreRun guard.

Verified: npm run lint + build clean; tests/services 830 green. DOM behavior
(collapse, retry error banner) covered by the Playwright smoke gate in CI.

Status: Branch Deleted, Manual Recovery Required

Current State: This PR was closed 3 weeks ago (2026-06-24) with a "dirty" mergeable state (merge conflict). The source branch claude/asa-ableton-audit-gy9xdh has since been deleted and is no longer available on the remote.

What This PR Contains (Critical Analysis for Re-evaluation)

This is a multi-commit feature stack (9 commits, +4,769/-38 across 19 files) landing three integrated systems:

A. Backend: Phase 2 Export Envelope (Commits 1-7)

  • phase2_export.py + GET /api/analysis-runs/{run_id}/export/phase2 — single self-contained envelope including stored Phase2Result, Phase 1 payload for citation verification, validationWarnings trail, and provenance
  • Recommendation evaluation harness (evaluate_recommendations.py --source) with support for Gemini + Claude providers
  • Fixture re-authoring: techno_rumble_130 → hard_techno_rumble_145, dnb_reese_174 → ukg_2step_shuffle_132 (both with correct metadata/MIDI)
  • Claude provider Phase 2 evidence generation (gen_claude_phase2.py)
  • Cross-boundary citation contract guards in tests (phase1CitationContract.test.ts) to prevent silent field drops on rebuild

Contract Changes (Tripwire #3/#4 boundaries):

B. UI: Recommendations.v1 Trust Layer (Commit 9)

  • New file: apps/ui/src/services/recommendationsContract.ts (pure, node-tested) with helpers: normKey, buildContractValidatedKeys, isCardValidated, formatContractValue, projectContractRows
  • Per-card "Cited · validated" trust pill (native title=, no Tooltip/Radix provider)
  • New component: ReconstructionContractPanel.tsx — collapsible DataTable surfacing the verbatim Phase2Result.recommendations envelope
  • Fix: App.tsx retry handlers now have guarded catch blocks (was try/finally with no catch, causing unhandled rejections)
  • Verified: 14 new contract tests, 823/823 tests passing, lint + build clean

Why It Wasn't Merged Then

The base branch was stale — main has since advanced with merged PRs #210#216 (genre generalization, key ensemble gate, stem-aware chords). This PR's base (commit 33701e0) is ~3 weeks behind current main.

Recovery Path (For Opus/Fable Agent)

Option 1: Clean Cherry-Pick (Recommended if main has no conflicting changes)

  1. Check git log --oneline main --since="2026-06-24" for conflicts in:
    • apps/ui/src/services/ (contract validators)
    • apps/ui/src/components/ (retry handlers, new ReconstructionContractPanel)
    • apps/backend/phase2_export.py, recommend*.py, evaluate_*.py
  2. If no conflicts in those areas, cherry-pick commit 2de5f16 (the UI commit) + the backend fixture/eval commits
  3. Re-run npm run verify + backend unittest discover

Option 2: Full Rebase (If conflicts exist)

  1. Restore the branch from GitHub API or local history (the commits still exist in the PR data)
  2. Rebase onto current main
  3. Resolve merge conflicts (likely in analyze.py contracts or fixture paths)
  4. Re-run full verification suite
  5. Force-push (safe, only author) and merge

Critical Verification Checklist (Before Merge):

  • All 9 commits' contracts remain synchronized (analyze.py → JSON_SCHEMA.md → types.ts → reconstructors → fixtures → golden)
  • phase1CitationContract.test.ts still passes (regression guard for field drops)
  • Fixture slugs (hard_techno_rumble_145, ukg_2step_shuffle_132) are referenced consistently in evaluation harness
  • ReconstructionContractPanel.tsx renders correctly in live UI (Playwright smoke only, not bootable in worktree)
  • Golden is re-baselined if needed (run UPDATE_PHASE1_GOLDEN=1)

Why This Matters

This PR closes the chain-of-custody gap: Phase 2 exports were live in the backend but invisible in the UI. Without it, users can't verify that their recommendations are citation-backed. It's a verification layer, not a replacement for rich cards (correct per PURPOSE.md constraint 2).


Recommendation for next agent: This is high-value consolidation work. If cherry-pick conflicts are minimal, ship it. If rebasing is needed, the commits are well-documented and the verification gates are comprehensive.

Status: Cannot Merge — Branch Deleted

The claude/asa-ableton-audit-gy9xdh branch has been deleted, making this PR unmergeable via normal means.

What happened

  • PR created: 2026-06-24 07:05:47 UTC
  • PR closed (without merge): 2026-06-24 07:21:39 UTC
  • Merge state: dirty (conflicts with current main)
  • Branch status: Deleted (not available in origin)

To resurrect this PR, a higher-tier agent (Opus/Fable) would need to:

  1. Determine if the work is still needed: Check if the changes here (trust pill + validation table + retry catch fix) conflict with recent PRs merged to main (especially feat(chords): stem-aware chord + segment-key path (accuracy PR-B4) #207feat(genre): measured classifier + mix-doctor widening for the missing families (PR-G7) #216, merged 2026-07-04 to 2026-07-13)

  2. Recover the branch strategy: Either:

    • Create a fresh branch from the current main and cherry-pick the relevant commits
    • Manually re-implement the three changes from this PR's description
  3. Key changes to port:

    • A. Trust pill: Per-card validation display (recommendationsContract.ts + view-model stamping)
    • B. Contract table: ReconstructionContractPanel.tsx collapsible DataTable
    • C. Retry catch fix: Add error handling to handleRetryPitchNoteExtraction / handleRetryInterpretation in App.tsx
  4. Validation baseline: PR had 14 contract tests passing, 823 total UI tests passing. Golden file baseline would need re-running.

  5. Conflict zones to watch: The 10 merged genre/accuracy PRs may have touched src/types/backend.ts, phase1FullPayload.ts, or test fixtures — careful conflict resolution needed if cherry-picking.
