Two decisions taken with the operator: stdlib HTML driver instead of Playwright (F-0004), and a deterministic discovery runtime instead of a live model. Both sit behind interfaces so the alternatives drop in later. - html.py: stdlib DOM parse and query - agentic.py: DiscoveryRuntime (agentic arm, ignores data-td by construction) and RecordedSelectorRuntime (control arm, uses the strongest identifier the page offers) - browser.py: per-actor sessions over real HTTP, constructed per call so no actor inherits another's connection state - cost/nondeterminism metrics recorded from the first run F-0005 (CONCEPT_DRIFT): the H-001 result is a narrowing. Where test ids are preserved, discovery 9/9 and recorded selectors 9/9 - the semantic action buys nothing. Where they are dropped, discovery 2/3 and recorded 0/3. The concept model presents semantic actions as generally superior; the evidence says conditionally superior. M21 and M22 added mid-task: the deciding side of the axis was N=1. M22 (field names renamed) defeats the heuristic and is the first concrete evidence that a live model would add capability, not just cost.

"""The labelled mutation catalogue — the project's measuring instrument.
|
|
|
|
Every claim test-driver makes is measured against this catalogue, so its quality
|
|
caps the credibility of every downstream result. Six mutations, as the milestones
|
|
document originally sketched, cannot support any statement about precision or
|
|
recall; there are twenty here.
|
|
|
|
Each mutation carries a **ground-truth label**, decided by a human from the use
|
|
case and recorded before any run:
|
|
|
|
MECHANICAL the surface changed; protected semantics are identical.
|
|
test-driver should recover and report an adaptation.
|
|
SEMANTIC intended behaviour genuinely changed. test-driver must escalate
|
|
to a human and must never rewrite a claim by itself.
|
|
DEFECT the system violates unchanged intent. test-driver must report a
|
|
Product Finding and must never adapt to it.
|
|
|
|
The distinction between SEMANTIC and DEFECT is deliberately *not* inferable from
|
|
the code — both change behaviour. It is a statement about intent, which is why
|
|
claims must have independent provenance (D-06) and why ambiguity escalates
|
|
rather than resolving itself.
|
|
|
|
Mutations compose: `build_lab("M01", "M15")` applies both and records both in the
|
|
version string, so a mechanical change shipping alongside a defect is
|
|
reproducible. That combination is decision-table row 3 and the case a naive
|
|
self-healing tool gets wrong.
|
|
|
|
## The test-id axis
|
|
|
|
The UI carries stable `data-td` attributes, as a well-instrumented application
|
|
would. Most mechanical mutations preserve them, and a recorded selector sequence
|
|
keyed on those attributes survives such a mutation untouched — which would make
|
|
H-001 (semantic actions outlast recorded sequences) trivially *false*.
|
|
|
|
That is not a flaw to be rigged away. It is the honest shape of the question:
|
|
**a semantic action earns its keep exactly when stable identifiers are absent or
|
|
not carried forward.** Mutations therefore vary along `preserves_test_ids`, and
|
|
H-001 must be analysed split by that axis rather than as a single rate. A
|
|
catalogue whose mutations all broke naive selectors would flatter the thesis and
|
|
tell us nothing.
