# chat-verifier-agent Specification
## Purpose
TBD - created by archiving change chat-verifier-agent. Update Purpose after archive.
## Requirements
### Requirement: Verifier SHALL fact-check Executor answers
The system SHALL have a Verifier Agent that reads structured Executor claims and the tool call history, then produces a structured verdict based on claim derivability.
#### Scenario: PASS verdict when all claims have evidence
- **WHEN** all critical claims in `executor_structured_output.claims` have direct observation or reasonable inference support in tool call results
- **AND** at least one critical claim has direct observation
- **AND** no critical claim is contradicted, unsupported, external unknown, or overstated
- **AND** `gatekeeper_result.status` is not `fail`
- **THEN** the Verifier MAY output verdict="PASS" with groundedness_score ≥ 0.5
#### Scenario: LOW_CONFID verdict with partial evidence
- **WHEN** no critical claim contradicts the tool results
- **AND** some critical claims are `unsupported`, `external_unknown`, or `overstated`
- **THEN** the Verifier SHALL output verdict="LOW_CONFID"
#### Scenario: LOW_CONFID verdict with only inference support
- **WHEN** no critical claim contradicts the tool results
- **AND** all critical claims are only `reasonable_inference`
- **THEN** the Verifier SHALL output verdict="LOW_CONFID"
#### Scenario: REJECT verdict when claims contradict evidence
- **WHEN** any critical claim in `executor_structured_output.claims` contradicts tool call results
- **OR** the claim fabricates a key entity, error code, or conclusion that does not exist in the tool evidence
- **THEN** the Verifier SHALL output verdict="REJECT"
#### Scenario: Structured Executor claims are verified first
- **WHEN** `executor_structured_output.claims` is present and valid
- **THEN** Verifier SHALL verify each structured claim against `tool_trace_summary` through `claim_checks`
- **AND** each claim's evidence bindings SHALL reference existing trace or invocation identifiers when those identifiers are available
- **AND** a claim with fabricated or missing evidence references SHALL NOT be classified as `direct_observation`
- **AND** Verifier SHALL NOT add extra confirmed facts from `executor_final_answer` that are absent from `executor_structured_output.claims`
#### Scenario: Malformed structured output cannot pass through natural language fallback
- **WHEN** Executor does not return parseable structured output
- **THEN** Verifier SHALL NOT produce an effective `PASS` by extracting facts from `executor_final_answer`
- **AND** the effective verdict SHALL be `LOW_CONFID`
### Requirement: Verifier SHALL output structured JSON
The Verifier SHALL output a JSON object with verdict, groundedness_score, claim_checks array, compatibility facts_checked array, and rationale.
#### Scenario: claim-level verifier output is accepted
- **WHEN** the Verifier checks Executor V2 structured output
- **THEN** the output SHALL contain `verdict`, `groundedness_score`, `critical_fact_count`, `claim_checks`, `facts_checked`, and `rationale`
- **AND** `claim_checks` SHALL be the primary V2 verification result
- **AND** `facts_checked` SHALL remain available for compatibility
#### Scenario: Output format validation
- **WHEN** the Verifier completes its analysis
- **THEN** the output SHALL contain "verdict", "groundedness_score", "claim_checks", "facts_checked", and "rationale" fields
- **AND** groundedness_score SHALL be a float between 0.0 and 1.0
- **AND** verdict SHALL be one of "PASS", "LOW_CONFID", or "REJECT"
#### Scenario: strict schema output
- **WHEN** the Verifier returns its result
- **THEN** it SHALL output exactly one JSON object
- **AND** it SHALL NOT output Markdown, code fences, or explanatory text outside the JSON object
- **AND** the JSON object SHALL include `critical_fact_count`
- **AND** each `claim_checks` item SHALL include `claim_id`, `verification`, `detail`, and `evidence_refs`
- **AND** each `facts_checked` item SHALL include `fact`, `is_critical`, `verification`, and `detail`
### Requirement: facts_checked SHALL use a fixed classification set
The system SHALL continue to expose legacy `facts_checked` using its fixed verification classification set.
#### Scenario: claim checks are mapped to legacy facts
- **WHEN** Verifier output contains `claim_checks`
- **THEN** ChatService SHALL derive compatibility `facts_checked`
- **AND** `direct_observation` SHALL map to `direct_evidence`
- **AND** `reasonable_inference` and `overstated` SHALL map to `indirect_support`
- **AND** `unsupported` and `external_unknown` SHALL map to `no_evidence`
- **AND** `contradicted` SHALL map to `contradicted`
### Requirement: groundedness_score SHALL be derived from fact classifications
The groundedness score SHALL be computed from critical fact classifications instead of being freely chosen by the model.
#### Scenario: contradicted fact forces reject
- **WHEN** any critical fact is labeled `contradicted`
- **THEN** the Verifier SHALL output verdict="REJECT"
- **AND** groundedness_score SHALL be `0.0`
#### Scenario: score derived from supported facts
- **WHEN** no critical fact is contradicted
- **THEN** groundedness_score SHALL be computed from the mapped values of critical facts
- **AND** the implementation SHALL use the fixed mapping `direct_evidence=1.0`, `indirect_support=0.6`, `no_evidence=0.0`
- **AND** the result SHALL be clamped into `[0.0, 1.0]`
### Requirement: ChatService SHALL route based on Verifier verdict
The system SHALL use ChatService for explicit single-round `Planner -> Executor -> Verifier -> Composer` orchestration and SHALL use ChatService to control whether an additional round is allowed.
#### Scenario: PASS -> Composer output
- **WHEN** Verifier outputs verdict="PASS"
- **THEN** ChatService SHALL filter Verifier-allowed material and invoke Composer or a safe fixed template
- **AND** the final user-facing answer SHALL NOT pass through raw Executor output
- **AND** the final user-facing answer SHALL NOT read Executor `user_facing_answer`
#### Scenario: LOW_CONFID score>=0.5 -> Composer output with uncertainty
- **WHEN** Verifier outputs verdict="LOW_CONFID" with groundedness_score >= 0.5
- **THEN** ChatService SHALL filter Verifier-allowed material and invoke Composer or a safe fixed template
- **AND** the final user-facing answer SHALL distinguish confirmed information, possible directions, and evidence gaps
- **AND** unsupported raw Executor claims SHALL NOT be presented as confirmed conclusions
#### Scenario: LOW_CONFID score<0.5 -> trigger one additional round
- **WHEN** Verifier outputs verdict="LOW_CONFID" with groundedness_score < 0.5 and this is the first callback
- **THEN** the ChatService SHALL invoke one additional `Planner -> Executor -> Verifier` round to supplement evidence
- **AND** after the second Verifier run, verdict="LOW_CONFID" SHALL be routed to Composer or a safe fixed template
- **AND** after the second Verifier run, verdict="REJECT" SHALL still produce a degraded Composer-safe output
#### Scenario: REJECT does not enter retry round
- **WHEN** Verifier outputs verdict="REJECT"
- **THEN** the system SHALL NOT start a retry round for evidence supplementation
- **AND** it SHALL produce a degraded output directly through Composer-safe rendering
#### Scenario: REJECT -> degraded output
- **WHEN** Verifier outputs verdict="REJECT"
- **THEN** the system SHALL output a degraded result indicating the answer cannot be reliably generated
- **AND** it SHALL NOT pass through the raw Executor answer
- **AND** it SHALL NOT include a root-cause conclusion
### Requirement: Verifier SHALL be observable
The Verifier's verdict and downstream final-answer composition SHALL be persisted for observability.

- **AND** message filtering MAY be used only to remove intermediate reasoning or unrelated noise
#### Scenario: Verifier remains isolated from intermediate reasoning
- **WHEN** `executor_structured_output` is added to the verifier input
- **THEN** the input SHALL still exclude Planner reasoning and Executor intermediate reasoning
- **AND** the input SHALL be limited to the original query, final Executor output, parsed Executor evidence contract, tool trace summary, gatekeeper result, and retry context
#### Scenario: tool trace summary derived from tool facts

#### Scenario: only evidence-bearing tools included
- **WHEN** the system generates `tool_trace_summary`
- **THEN** it SHALL include only evidence-bearing tool invocations
- **AND** non-evidence helper tools such as time or formatting tools SHALL be excluded by default
#### Scenario: failed evidence calls preserved as evidence gaps
- **WHEN** an evidence-bearing tool invocation fails or returns no usable evidence
- **THEN** the summary SHALL still include that invocation
- **AND** it SHALL mark the entry as unsuccessful with an evidence level representing no evidence
#### Scenario: repeated tool calls may be compacted
- **WHEN** repeated tool invocations concern the same tool, topic domain, and round
- **THEN** the system MAY compact them into a merged summary entry
- **AND** the merged entry SHALL preserve the first effective hit and the count of repeated, failed, or no-hit calls
#### Scenario: raw outputs not passed through in full

- **AND** `executor_structured_output.claims` is available
- **THEN** Verifier SHALL verify each claim through `claim_checks`
- **AND** Verifier SHALL NOT add extra confirmed facts from `executor_final_answer` that are absent from `executor_structured_output.claims`
#### Scenario: malformed structured output cannot pass through natural language fallback

- **AND** the effective verdict SHALL be `LOW_CONFID`
### Requirement: Verifier facts SHALL be auditable
Verifier facts SHALL be linkable to the evidence summaries used during verification.
#### Scenario: facts_checked contains evidence refs

### Requirement: Verifier inputs SHALL tolerate hardened no-evidence semantics
The verifier integration SHALL continue to work when evidence summaries distinguish failed calls, no-hit calls, and deduped retrievals more explicitly.
#### Scenario: Failed evidence remains a verifier-visible gap
- **WHEN** an evidence-bearing tool invocation fails
- **THEN** the verifier-facing trace summary SHALL preserve that failure as a gap
- **AND** the verifier flow SHALL continue without crashing
#### Scenario: Deduped retrievals do not count as fresh support
- **WHEN** the verifier-facing trace summary contains deduped `lookup_knowledge` entries
- **THEN** those entries SHALL be treated as no-new-evidence
- **AND** they SHALL NOT be interpreted as fresh direct support for the answer
### Requirement: Verifier evidence summaries SHALL preserve concrete supporting facts
The verifier-facing `tool_trace_summary` SHALL preserve compact concrete facts from persisted evidence-tool outputs so direct evidence is not misclassified as missing merely because raw output was truncated.
#### Scenario: Log evidence contains a concrete matching message
- **WHEN** a persisted `query_logs` invocation output contains a concrete log message matching a critical fact
- **THEN** the generated `tool_trace_summary` SHALL include that message or a bounded excerpt of it in `output_summary`
- **AND** Verifier SHALL be able to reference the invocation id as direct evidence
#### Scenario: Metrics evidence contains concrete alert fields
- **WHEN** a persisted `query_metrics` invocation output contains alert names, services, or metric values
- **THEN** the generated `tool_trace_summary` SHALL include the relevant alert names, services, and bounded metric values
- **AND** it SHALL NOT imply unsupported alerts that are absent from the tool output
#### Scenario: Summary remains bounded

- **THEN** the generated `tool_trace_summary` SHALL remain bounded
- **AND** it SHALL preserve concrete facts before generic boilerplate or low-value formatting
### Requirement: Verifier low-confidence output SHALL not present unsupported claims as confirmed
When Verifier returns `LOW_CONFID`, user-facing output SHALL clearly separate confirmed facts from evidence gaps and SHALL NOT leave unsupported Executor claims formatted as confirmed findings.
#### Scenario: LOW_CONFID with critical evidence gaps
- **WHEN** Verifier labels critical facts as `no_evidence`
- **THEN** the final user-facing response SHALL identify those gaps from verifier output
- **AND** unsupported raw Executor claims SHALL NOT be presented as confirmed conclusions
### Requirement: Executor SHALL output an evidence-attribution contract
The Chat Executor SHALL produce a machine-checkable final output that separates confirmed claims from hypotheses, recommendations, and missing information.
#### Scenario: Executor V2 final output contains only structured diagnostic fields
- **WHEN** Executor completes a Chat diagnosis step under the V2 contract
- **THEN** its final output SHALL contain `answer_version`, `claims`, `hypotheses`, `recommended_actions`, and `missing_info`
- **AND** `answer_version` SHALL equal `executor_evidence_v2`
- **AND** the output SHOULD be parseable as one JSON object without Markdown fences
- **AND** the output SHALL NOT contain `diagnosis_summary`
- **AND** the output SHALL NOT contain `user_facing_answer`
#### Scenario: Confirmed claims carry evidence bindings
- **WHEN** Executor emits an item under `claims`

- **AND** the binding SHALL be able to reference `lookup_knowledge`, `query_logs`, `query_metrics`, or other evidence-bearing tool traces
- **AND** the binding SHALL NOT rely only on a RAG-specific `chunk_id`
#### Scenario: Unsupported conclusions are not confirmed claims
- **WHEN** a possible root cause, detail, or remediation lacks current-session tool evidence
- **THEN** Executor SHALL place it under `hypotheses`, `recommended_actions`, or `missing_info`
- **AND** Executor SHALL NOT present it as a confirmed claim
#### Scenario: Runbook and skill guidance do not become incident facts
- **WHEN** Executor uses runbook, skill, or historical-case guidance
- **THEN** the guidance MAY influence `recommended_actions`
- **AND** the guidance SHALL NOT be emitted as a current incident fact unless current-session tool evidence supports it
### Requirement: User-facing Chat answers SHALL remain readable Chinese

- **AND** `gatekeeper_result.failed_rules` SHALL be empty
#### Scenario: gatekeeper fail prevents PASS
- **WHEN** `gatekeeper_result.status` is `fail`

- **AND** the binding SHOULD include `raw_path`
- **AND** the binding SHALL include `tool_name` and `evidence_excerpt`
- **AND** the `raw_path` SHALL be interpreted relative to the referenced tool invocation's `retrieval_details.evidence_refs`
#### Scenario: Legacy plural invocation ids remain compatibility only

- **AND** they SHALL NOT be sufficient for a precise Gatekeeper pass without `raw_path`
### Requirement: Gatekeeper SHALL validate evidence reference fidelity

- **THEN** Gatekeeper SHALL return `status=fail`
- **AND** Gatekeeper SHALL return `severity=low_confid`
- **AND** the effective verifier result SHALL NOT be `PASS`
#### Scenario: Unknown raw path is rejected
- **WHEN** a binding references an existing invocation

- **AND** `failed_rules` SHALL include `evidence.raw_path`
#### Scenario: Mismatched excerpt is rejected
- **WHEN** a binding references an existing invocation and raw path

- **AND** `failed_rules` SHALL include `evidence.excerpt_mismatch`
### Requirement: Verifier SHALL use verified claim-local evidence for derivability
Verifier SHALL judge structured claims primarily against Gatekeeper-verified claim-local evidence excerpts.
#### Scenario: Verified excerpt supports direct observation
- **WHEN** `gatekeeper_result.severity=none`
- **AND** a claim's verified evidence excerpts directly contain the claim's concrete facts
- **THEN** Verifier MAY classify that claim as `direct_observation`
#### Scenario: Tool trace summary is navigation context
- **WHEN** `executor_structured_output.claims[].evidence_bindings` are available
- **THEN** Verifier SHALL use `tool_trace_summary` as navigation and audit context
- **AND** it SHALL NOT require `tool_trace_summary.output_summary` to contain every fact already present in verified claim-local evidence
### Requirement: Gatekeeper severity SHALL constrain effective verdict
Runtime effective verdict calculation SHALL treat Gatekeeper severity as a hard upper bound.
#### Scenario: Reject severity prevents PASS
- **WHEN** `gatekeeper_result.severity=reject`
- **AND** the Verifier model returns `verdict=PASS`
- **THEN** ChatService SHALL downgrade the effective verdict
- **AND** the effective verdict SHALL be `REJECT`
#### Scenario: Low confidence severity prevents PASS
- **WHEN** `gatekeeper_result.severity=low_confid`
- **AND** the Verifier model returns `verdict=PASS`
- **THEN** ChatService SHALL downgrade the effective verdict
- **AND** the effective verdict SHALL be `LOW_CONFID`
#### Scenario: Gatekeeper audit includes severity
- **WHEN** verifier evaluation is persisted
- **THEN** `diagnosis_session.self_evaluation.verifier_evaluation.gatekeeper_result` SHALL include `status`, `severity`, `checked_bindings`, `failed_rules`, `warnings`, and `errors`
### Requirement: Verifier input hook SHALL only perform narrow compatibility backfill
The verifier input hook SHALL avoid converting broad tool summaries into precise evidence references.
#### Scenario: Unique invocation candidate may be backfilled
- **WHEN** an evidence binding omits `source_invocation_id`
- **AND** exactly one current-session invocation exists for the binding's `tool_name`
- **THEN** the hook MAY backfill `source_invocation_id`
- **AND** it SHALL add a Gatekeeper warning describing the auto-backfill
#### Scenario: Raw path is never backfilled
- **WHEN** an evidence binding omits `raw_path`
- **THEN** the hook SHALL NOT synthesize `raw_path`
- **AND** Gatekeeper SHALL treat the binding as not precise enough to pass
### Requirement: Executor prompt SHALL constrain narrow-scope over-expansion
The Executor prompt SHALL instruct Executor to keep narrow confirmation questions focused on observation-level claims.
#### Scenario: Narrow scope produces minimal observation claims
- **WHEN** the user asks to confirm one specific service, alert, or symptom
- **THEN** Executor SHOULD output the minimum necessary claims, normally one and at most two
- **AND** those claims SHALL be `observation` or `negative_observation` unless current-session evidence proves more
- **AND** Executor SHALL NOT emit unrelated root-cause, remediation, or excluded-topic claims as confirmed facts
