## 3. What Happened

### 3-1. Phase 1 LLM: highly stable `chunk_strategy` decision

3/3 runs produced identical `chunk_strategy`:
- `boundary: heading` — correct choice for Markdown files with `#` headings
- `max_chunk_size_tokens: 600` — reasonable for medium-length technical notes
- `overlap_ratio: 0.1` — LLM added light overlap (not in schema default of 0.0), but within valid range

The preprocessors (`gather_samples` + `cost_preflight`) ran correctly. File summary showed 3 `.md` files with "Markdown with headings" structure hint, which guided the LLM to `heading` boundary. Cost was ~$0.0006 (3 tiny files → trivially below threshold).

The LLM decision was extremely stable — identical parameters across all 3 runs. This is consistent with the deterministic nature of the input (same 3 files, same preprocessor output).

### 3-2. Phase 2 postprocessor: full chain ran correctly

The deterministic postprocessor chain completed in all 3 runs:
1. `apply_strategy` (python step): chunked 3 `.md` files by headings → 3 chunks (1 per file, each file had 1+ headings that fit within max_chunk_size)
2. `embed` (run_op): FakeEmbeddingProvider embedded 3 chunks → 3 vectors (1536-dim hash-based)
3. `index_write` (run_op): SqliteIndexBackend wrote 3 chunks → `sources.yaml` upserted with `chunk_count: 3`

### 3-3. sources.yaml and SourceManifest

`sources.yaml` was correctly populated with the `notes` entry including:
- `chunk_count: 3`
- `last_indexed: <timestamp>`
- `path: (unknown)` — this is a known issue (B17-S2-5): `index_write` op reads `existing.path` from manifest but the manifest has no prior entry for a fresh source, so it defaults to `"(unknown)"` instead of reading from the artifact's `path` field.

### 3-4. Events log

29 events per run. All expected postprocessor events (`postprocessor_step_started`, `postprocessor_step_completed` × 3) were present. The event reader in the driver script had a bug (using `glob("*.jsonl")` at the `events/` root instead of `rglob("*.jsonl")` for subdirectories), causing the driver to report `postprocessor_events: 0` — but the actual events ARE present and correct in the log files.

## 4. Source Code Fixes Required (Blocking Bugs Discovered)

S2 could not run at all until 4 blocking bugs were fixed. These are documented here for the fix wave.

### B17-S2-1: `postprocessor_executor.py` — outer schema validated against inner dict [HIGH]

**File**: `src/reyn/kernel/postprocessor_executor.py`

**Bug**: Final output validation was:
```python
data = result.get("data", {})
validator = jsonschema.Draft7Validator(postprocessor.output_schema)
errors = sorted(validator.iter_errors(data), key=str)
```

`postprocessor.output_schema` is the **full artifact schema** with `required: ['type', 'data']` (the `{type, data}` envelope), but `data = result.get("data", {})` is just the inner dict. Validating the inner dict against the outer schema always fails with `'data' is a required property; 'type' is a required property`.

**Fix applied**: Changed to `validator.iter_errors(result)` (validate full result, not inner data).

**Scope**: Any skill with a postprocessor would fail this validation. 100% blocking for any postprocessor-using skill.

**Classification**: Bug fix (restoring documented design — output_schema is the full artifact contract).

---

### B17-S2-2: `postprocessor_executor.py` — artifact type never renamed to output_name [HIGH]

**File**: `src/reyn/kernel/postprocessor_executor.py`

**Bug**: The postprocessor starts with `result = copy.deepcopy(finish_artifact)` where `finish_artifact["type"] == "chunk_strategy"`. After all steps run, `result["type"]` is still `"chunk_strategy"`. But `postprocessor.output_name == "index_summary"`, and the output_schema requires `type.const == "index_summary"`.

Validation then fails with `'index_summary' was expected`.

**Fix applied**: Added before validation:
```python
if postprocessor.output_name and postprocessor.output_name != "artifact":
    result = dict(result, type=postprocessor.output_name)
```

**Scope**: Same as B17-S2-1: any skill with a named postprocessor output would fail.

**Classification**: Bug fix (the artifact type MUST be the postprocessor's declared output type for callers to correctly identify the result).

---

### B17-S2-3: `embed.py` — provider hardcoded to "litellm", no override path [MED]

**File**: `src/reyn/op_runtime/embed.py`

**Bug**: `provider = get_provider("litellm", config={})` is hardcoded. The code's own comment says "Wave 2G wires it" (config plumbing deferred). There is no way to use FakeEmbeddingProvider or any alternative provider without modifying source code.

**Fix applied**: Added env var override:
```python
import os as _os
_provider_name = _os.environ.get("REYN_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER", "litellm")
provider = get_provider(_provider_name, config={})
```

**Scope**: Dogfood/test scenarios using non-LiteLLM providers are blocked without this. Production users with only LiteLLM are not affected.

**Classification**: Bug fix (the "Wave 2G" config wiring is deferred, but the env var makes the architecture's plugin intent usable immediately).

---

### B17-S2-4: `index_docs/artifacts/index_summary.yaml` — schema doesn't match actual postprocessor output [HIGH]

**File**: `src/reyn/stdlib/skills/index_docs/artifacts/index_summary.yaml`

**Bug**: Original schema required `chunk_count`, `embedded_count`, `skipped_count`, `written_count` at the top-level `data` object. But the postprocessor steps write:
- Step 1 result → `data.chunk_stats` (dict with `chunk_count`, `source_lock_acquired`, `chunks_path`)
- Step 2 result → `data.embed_result` (dict with `embedded_count`, `skipped_count`)
- Step 3 result → `data.index_result` (dict with `written`, `skipped`)

The top-level `data` has `source`, `boundary`, `chunk_stats`, `embed_result`, `index_result` — not the flat fields the schema expected.

**Fix applied**: Updated `index_summary.yaml` schema to match the actual nested structure produced by the postprocessor steps.

**Scope**: index_docs skill cannot complete postprocessor validation without this fix.

**Classification**: Bug fix (the schema was written with a different postprocessor design intent than what was actually implemented — the `into:` paths in skill.md were not consistent with the output schema).

---

### B17-S2-5: `sources.yaml` path field shows "(unknown)" for new sources [LOW]

**File**: `src/reyn/op_runtime/index_write.py`

**Observation**: `sources.yaml` shows `path: (unknown)` instead of the actual glob path for newly indexed sources.

**Root cause**: `index_write` op reads `existing.path` from the manifest to preserve it on upsert:
```python
path = existing.path if existing else "(unknown)"
```
But for a fresh source, there's no prior manifest entry. The `path` should be read from the artifact (the postprocessor has access to `data.path` from the original chunk_strategy artifact).

**Impact**: LOW — functional indexing and retrieval works. The path field in sources.yaml is cosmetic (shown in `reyn source describe` output). No data loss.

**Fix needed**: `index_write` op should accept an optional `path` arg (like `source` and `mode`), wired via `args_from: path: data.path` in skill.md postprocessor step.

## 5. Driver Script Implementation Notes

**Approach used**: Python wrapper (`reyn_dogfood_wrapper.py`) registers `FakeEmbeddingProvider` in-process, then calls `reyn.cli.main()`. This bypasses the PYTHONSTARTUP (interactive-only) and usercustomize.py (disabled in venv) limitations.

**REYN_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=fake**: env var set in subprocess environment. The embed.py patch (B17-S2-3 fix) reads this env var to select the provider.

**Event reader bug in driver**: `events_dir.glob("*.jsonl")` should be `events_dir.rglob("*.jsonl")` — events are nested in subdirectories. The driver showed `postprocessor_events: 0` but the actual events are present. Not a Reyn bug.

## 6. Calibration Delta

| 予測 | 実際 |
|---|---|
| verified: 60% | **100% (3/3)** |
| refuted: 20% | 0% |
| inconclusive: 15% | 0% |
| blocked: 5% | 0% |

Calibration outcome: **over-pessimistic**. The scenario verified 100% once the 4 blocking bugs were fixed. The 5% "blocked" prediction came true (sort of) — there were 4 blocking bugs — but once fixed, the underlying pipeline was solid.

Key learnings:
- R-RAG2 (Phase 1 LLM schema violation) did NOT occur: the LLM correctly used `heading` enum value and valid `max_chunk_size_tokens: 600`
- The postprocessor chain was architecturally sound; the bugs were implementation gaps between design spec and code (schema mismatch, validation target mismatch, missing type rename)
- gemini-2.5-flash-lite is highly stable for this constrained single-phase decision (3/3 identical outputs)
