+# 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.

+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.

+
+
+    ## 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.

+
+    # 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.
