## Repository workflow
This is a Markdown research repository. No install, build, run, lint or automated
application test command exists yet. Review documentation and use `git diff --check`
for whitespace. Inspect new files as well as tracked diffs.
This is a Markdown research repository with a small infospace-bench adapter.
Run `make bench-test` for its integration checks and `make bench-plan` for the
synthetic pilot plan. `BENCH_PY` selects a Python environment with infospace-bench
installed (default: the sibling checkout's .venv). Use `git diff --check` for
whitespace; inspect new files as well as tracked diffs. See
`research/bench/README.md` for source intake, provider selection and review boundaries.
Read `INTENT.md`, `SCOPE.md` and `REVIEW.md` for scope and maturity. Treat source
interpretations, candidate patterns and research stubs as provisional. Preserve

# Admission from experimental artifacts
The runner never writes to `canon/` or `patterns/`. A model critique is evidence
for a reviewer, not approval to promote. FEP-WP-0002-T01 owns the final metadata
contract; this mapping is provisional until that task resolves the open schema issues.
| Experimental representation | Repository representation |
| --- | --- |
| `source/source.md` plus SHA-256 and bibliography | SourceCatalog entry and source-review record |
| Claim C01 scoped by workspace and source | Claim citation: review path + C01 + original locator |
| Candidate P01 scoped by workspace | CandidateCatalog row; reviewed stable FEP ID only upon admission |
| Candidate Definition/Solution sections | PatternSchema prose with reviewed frontmatter |
| Relation proposal between local candidate IDs | Canonical typed relation between stable pattern IDs |
| Generated critique pass/revise/unknown | Input to a named reviewer; not evidence maturity |
For each promotion, write a review under `research/reviews/` with:
- reviewer, date and whether it is a self-review;
- source workspace, digests and source claim locators;
- candidate IDs mapped to existing/new stable FEP IDs, with merge/split/reject reasons;
- checks against the current pattern schema and at least two competing forces;
- known uses and counterexamples, marking missing evidence explicitly;
- relation endpoints, direction and rationale; prerequisites kept distinct;
- evidence maturity, quality constraints and unresolved questions;
- disposition and links to the changed catalog/pattern files and follow-up tasks.
Synthetic fixtures cannot establish known uses or satisfy evidence admission.
Do not infer recurrence from one source. Draft patterns may retain hypothesis
maturity; do not silently raise it because a model gave a favorable critique.
Cross-source patterns should retain all source-specific candidate mappings.
For later bench graph inspection, materialize reviewed candidates as `kind: entity`
artifacts with a Definition section and a preserved canonical ID, and relations as
typed Subject/Predicate/Object artifacts whose endpoints resolve. This graph-export
adapter remains part of FEP-WP-0004; proposal tables are not a graph export.

# Frontend research bench
Repository-owned workflows executed by the sibling `infospace-bench` package.
Verified against its checkout `be872bf` on 2026-09-24. This is a source investigation
workspace; `canon/`, `patterns/` and the research program remain authoritative.
## Quick start
The current workstation already has the bench environment installed. Override
`BENCH_PY` with another Python interpreter where `infospace-bench`, PyYAML and
pytest are installed. The sibling package has local dependencies on markitect-tool,
artifact-store and llm-connect; this repo does not duplicate their installation.
```bash
make bench-test
make bench-plan
```
`bench-plan` inspects the checked-in synthetic example without calling a model.
`infospaces/fixture-smoke/` contains its completed four-stage run, prompts, fixture
responses, provenance and review. It verifies workflow plumbing only. Its candidate
does not count toward the research corpus, evidence or M1 acceptance.
To repeat the fixture in a fresh temporary workspace:
```bash
BENCH_PY=../infospace-bench/.venv/bin/python
pilot_workspace=$(mktemp -d /tmp/frontend-patterns-bench.XXXXXX)
"$BENCH_PY" scripts/research_bench.py init research/bench/fixtures/source.md \
--workspace "$pilot_workspace" --slug fixture
"$BENCH_PY" scripts/research_bench.py run "$pilot_workspace/infospaces/fixture" \
--fixture-responses research/bench/fixtures/responses.yaml
```
## Investigate a real source
1. Obtain and review an original source using the [research protocol](../plan/ResearchProtocol.md).
Prepare a bounded normalized Markdown excerpt with stable section/paragraph
locators. Record any omitted context. No source acquisition or URL fetching is
performed by this adapter.
2. Add the metadata shown in [SourceInput](SourceInput.md). Identify the original
author, URL/bibliographic locator, version and access date. This is required
provenance, not a claim that the source was independently verified.
3. Initialize a uniquely named workspace and inspect its plan:
```bash
../infospace-bench/.venv/bin/python scripts/research_bench.py init /path/to/source.md \
--slug carniato-review-01
../infospace-bench/.venv/bin/python scripts/research_bench.py plan \
research/bench/infospaces/carniato-review-01
```
4. For a live run, configure `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` using the credential owner described
in `AGENTS.md`, choose a model explicitly, then run:
```bash
../infospace-bench/.venv/bin/python scripts/research_bench.py run \
research/bench/infospaces/carniato-review-01 \
--provider openrouter --model YOUR_MODEL_ID --max-calls 4
```
Live use transmits the selected source and intermediate drafts to that provider.
There is no default provider or model. The four-call ceiling is enforced before and
during execution, with automatic OpenRouter retries disabled. It is **not a dollar
or token budget**; actual usage metadata appears in the bench run record. No live
provider call was made during setup.
5. Review `artifacts/generated/claims.md`, `candidates.md`, `relation-proposals.md`
and `output/evaluations/source-review.md`. The review receives original source
text plus all previous outputs. It is an assisted self-review; a successful
run never marks it independently reviewed.
6. Update the source/candidate catalogs and question ledger after review. Use the
[admission procedure](Admission.md) before copying anything to `patterns/`.
Then compare the two source investigations in VC-01/VC-02 walkthroughs.
## Execution and evidence boundaries
- One source per workspace. The inspected upstream runner keeps one intermediate
result per stage, not per source. The adapter refuses multiple sources so stages
cannot mix documents. Cross-source synthesis is a subsequent explicit review.
- Workflow order: claims → candidates → relation proposals → critique. Each stage
retains the original source. Empty candidate/relation proposals are valid findings.
- Candidates and relations remain generated Markdown proposals. Native bench
entity splitting requires at least one candidate and would reject legitimate
negative results. Typed graph admission therefore follows review, not generation.
- Source digests are checked before running. Workflow/prompt digests and a start
receipt are written before any call; failures remain visible. Reusing an attempted
workspace is refused. Make a new revision workspace instead of overwriting results.
- Use this adapter's `plan` and `run` for the custom workflow. The generic `generate`
pipeline selects its own workflow names; native dry-run rendering cannot resolve
downstream references to assisted outputs that have not been generated yet.
- Bench `validate` checks its registered artifact contracts. Generated research
proposals have no automatic semantic validation here. Structural metrics and an
empty validation error list do not prove evidence quality or pattern validity.
- Fixture responses are allowed only for synthetic sources through the CLI.
Fixture provenance remains visible in manifests and run records.
## Current source queue
| Investigation | Input readiness | Work record |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Carniato first source case | Original source and bounded normalized excerpt still needed | FEP-WP-0002-T02 |
| Contrasting local-first source | Primary source selection and excerpt still needed | FEP-WP-0002-T02 |
| VC-01 and VC-02 synthesis | Depends on reviewed source claims and candidate patterns | FEP-WP-0002-T03 |
Do not ingest the existing Carniato research stub as if it were the original article.

# Normalized source input
Copy this structure into a source Markdown file outside `profile/`. Replace the
example values with actual bibliographic information. Dates/versions that cannot
be established should be explicitly `unknown`, with the limitation in the body.
```yaml
---
title: Actual source title
author: Original author or publisher
locator: https://original-source.example/article
version: Publication date or source revision
accessed: 'YYYY-MM-DD'
evidence_kind: primary
---
```
Use `primary`, `secondary` or `synthetic` for evidence_kind. Include the normalized
source text below the frontmatter with stable headings and paragraph/page markers.
Separate editorial notes, excerpt boundaries and omissions from original content.
Preserve enough context to check extracted claims. Do not substitute an agent's
summary or an existing repository stub for the original source.

# Local Draft State
## Definition
Keep a draft near the interaction while distinguishing it from committed data.
## Candidate Identity
P01; family affordance; scale L6; status draft; maturity hypothesis; evidence_kind synthetic.
## Context
An interrupted form session awaiting server acceptance.
## Problem
How can input remain intelligible before server confirmation?
## Forces
Interaction continuity improves; divergence-handling complexity increases.
## Solution
Hold a draft locally and display its uncommitted status.
## Dynamics
Submission may move from pending to rejected or accepted.
## Resulting Context
The application must decide retry, reconciliation and recovery behavior.
## Consequences
The user can keep typing but must understand what has actually been saved.
## Failure Modes
Confusing a local draft with committed data; losing a draft on restart.
## Source Evidence
C01 and C02; source/source.md, Scenario and Trade-off, paragraph 1.
## Counterevidence
This synthetic scenario establishes neither recurrence nor durability.
## Review Notes
Hypothesis only. No known uses. Do not promote from fixture evidence.

in it. Preserve its evidence_kind: synthetic examples are not research evidence.
Do not use uncited outside knowledge or fabricate authors, locators or dates.
Return a claim table with local labels C01, C02, source section/paragraph locators,
accurate paraphrases, assumptions, and a separate interpretation column. Identify
counterevidence, unknowns and claims needing another source. Distinguish claims
about a concrete implementation from proposed generalizations.

# Synthetic interrupted form scenario
## Scenario
A user types into a form while the server is unreachable. The draft remains
visible in the current session. On reconnect, the server can reject submission.
The interface shows pending and rejected states separately from committed data.
## Trade-off
Keeping drafts near the interaction improves continuity but requires explicit
handling of divergence from accepted server data. This fictional example does
not establish recurrence, persistence after restart or accessibility compliance.

## Candidates
# Local Draft State
## Definition
Keep a draft near the interaction while distinguishing it from committed data.
## Candidate Identity
P01; family affordance; scale L6; status draft; maturity hypothesis; evidence_kind
synthetic.
## Context
An interrupted form session awaiting server acceptance.
## Problem
How can input remain intelligible before server confirmation?
## Forces
Interaction continuity improves; divergence-handling complexity increases.
## Solution
Hold a draft locally and display its uncommitted status.
## Dynamics
Submission may move from pending to rejected or accepted.
## Resulting Context
The application must decide retry, reconciliation and recovery behavior.
## Consequences
The user can keep typing but must understand what has actually been saved.
## Failure Modes
Confusing a local draft with committed data; losing a draft on restart.
## Source Evidence
C01 and C02; source/source.md, Scenario and Trade-off, paragraph 1.
## Counterevidence
This synthetic scenario establishes neither recurrence nor durability.
## Review Notes
Hypothesis only. No known uses. Do not promote from fixture evidence.

## Source investigation tooling
FEP-WP-0005 established `research/bench/README.md` and `scripts/research_bench.py`.
Use one isolated workspace per source excerpt, review original-source-grounded
claims/candidates/relations/critique, and follow `research/bench/Admission.md`.
The fixture run is synthetic and does not complete any task in this workplan.
T02 still owns source acquisition/review; T03 owns cross-source synthesis and cases.

# Set up the frontend research bench
Implement the user's accepted infospace-bench integration inside this repository.
The research corpus stays repository-owned; bench executes inspectable source
investigations. Live research generation and canonical promotion are outside setup.
## Install the domain workflow and intake adapter
```task
id: FEP-WP-0005-T01
status: done
priority: high
```
Added bibliography-bearing source intake, immutable source digests, copied workflow
profiles and four ordered stages: claims, candidates, relation proposals, critique.
Each review sees the original source and all intermediate results. One source per
workspace avoids the upstream stage-output isolation limitation. Empty proposals
are permitted; no automatic entity or canon admission occurs.
## Verify fixture execution and failure boundaries
```task
id: FEP-WP-0005-T02
status: done
priority: high
```
The synthetic fixture completed all four stages at
`research/bench/infospaces/fixture-smoke/`. `make bench-test` checks the real bench
workflow adapter: source and intermediate prompt context, provenance, source
mutation, multiple-source rejection, call cap, missing bibliography, failure receipt
and refusal to overwrite attempted runs. No live provider calls occurred.
## Document research operation and admission
```task
id: FEP-WP-0005-T03
status: done
priority: medium
```
`research/bench/README.md`, `SourceInput.md` and `Admission.md` describe setup,
fixture/live commands, evidence status, ID mapping and review boundaries. Updated
agent workflow and research program entry points.
## Residual handoff
- Original source acquisition and evidence review: FEP-WP-0002-T02.
- Resolve metadata contract and provisional canonical ID mapping: FEP-WP-0002-T01.
- Cross-source synthesis and VC-01/VC-02 walkthroughs: FEP-WP-0002-T03.
- Typed graph export, metadata validator and retrieval evaluation: FEP-WP-0004.
Known limits: structural validation does not validate research claims; critique is
assisted self-review; custom run supports explicit OpenRouter or fixture adapters;
call caps do not enforce dollar/token budgets; one source per run; failed runs
require a fresh workspace rather than an automatic resume.
