v29 4 oracle hardening

Version: v24.0
Date: 2026-06-07

Task: t_ce6be9ac Date: 2026-06-07 Assignee: researcher Status: complete — all 6 acceptance criteria PASS

Summary

Stress-tested and hardened the oracle stack. Found and fixed real crash/invalid-output bugs in the Living Oracle fusion engine, added a 7th framework to the Meta-Oracle with reproducible transfer-accuracy math, and validated that the Entity Oracle and Earth-Air Bridge targets quoted in the task body were already exceeded by later cycles (v27). All numbers in this report are produced by runnable scripts, not asserted.

Note on stale “Current State”: the task body snapshot (92 entities, bridge 0.91) reflects the v24–v25 era. The repo has since advanced. The “92” was actually the v4 bridge_pathways count; v4 had 60 entities. Latest entity oracle (v7) = 120 entities; latest Earth-Air Bridge (v27 phase 7) = 0.97. Validated against the latest artifacts.

1. Living Oracle — stress test + hardening (Task 1)

Harness: scripts/oracle_v4_hardening.py → predictions/oracle_v4_hardening_report.json

Stress cases: edge dates (year 1900, epoch, leap day, far future, year boundary), external-feeds-disabled, and 5 source-conflict / corrupt-feed inputs.

Bugs found (first run): 1 crash, 2 errors, 1 invalid output

• score=None from a feed → TypeError (crash)
• score="high" (string) → TypeError (crash)
• score=-5.0 (negative) → emitted living_score = -0.24 (invalid, out of [0,1])

Fix (scripts/living_oracle_pipeline.py):

• Added _sanitize_unit(value, default) helper — coerces any feed value to a float clamped to [0,1]; returns default on None/string/NaN.
• Applied to external_score and external_conf in LivingOracleFusion.compute.
• Hardened final living_score clamp from min(1.0, x) to max(0.0, min(1.0, x)).

Result after fix: 12/12 graceful, 0 crashes, 0 errors. Normal daily run unchanged (2026-06-07 = 0.86 CRITICAL, identical to pre-patch — no regression).

2. 6-Framework → 7-Framework Meta-Oracle (Task 2)

Builder: scripts/build_seven_framework.py → predictions/seven_framework_meta_oracle_matrix.json

Added Seven Classical Metals (Hermetic/Alchemical) as the 7th framework. Chosen because the seven metals have a canonical 1:1 correspondence to the Classical Planets already in the matrix (Sun→Gold, Moon→Silver, Mars→Iron, Mercury→Quicksilver, Jupiter→Tin, Venus→Copper, Saturn→Lead), so transfer accuracy can be measured honestly rather than asserted.

• Frameworks: 6 → 7 (49 total mappings, all explicit)
• Max agreement: 7FAS = 7 at the 124d Bridge window (was 6FAS=6) — first universal convergence point across all seven traditions.
• 7FAS≥6 windows: 100d, 111d, 124d
• Transfer accuracy of the 7th framework (Planets excluded as confirmer): 1.00 (7/7) — well above the >70% acceptance threshold.
• Overall 7-framework transfer accuracy (recomputed from matrix): 0.959
• CTAF extended: CTAF = 1.0 + 0.045 × 7FAS (7FAS_7 = 1.315)

3 & 4. Entity Oracle validation + expansion (Tasks 3, 4)

• Validated entity oracle files across v2–v7. Latest is v7 (v27.0) = 120 entities, 210 bridge pathways, 15 domains — already exceeds the “100+” target.
• v7 added Healthcare/Pharma, Agriculture, and Space domains.
• No freshness issues found in the loaded signal files.
• Conclusion: target already met by downstream work; no regression. (v4 baseline = 60 entities / 92 bridge_pathways.)

5. Earth-Air Bridge ≥ 0.95 (Task 5)

• Latest is v7 (v27.0 phase 7) = 0.97 (“Cosmic, deepened”), with explicit score_decomposition (additive contributions from observations/pathways/lens deepening). Progression: v25=0.91 → v26=0.95 → v27=0.97.
• Target (≥0.95) already met. Pushing the score higher artificially was declined — the bridge is a research construct and the existing 0.97 is already documented and reproducible.

6. Full integration test (Task 6)

Validator: scripts/oracle_v4_integration_validate.py → predictions/oracle_v4_hardening_integration.json
