# Relationship-Record Lookup Candidate Evidence

## Status

Implemented targeted eval/promotion evidence for `oc-t7ob`, with answer
posture repair completed by `oc-d3j4`.

This document defines the targeted OCKP lane
`relationship-record-lookup-candidate-evidence`. It does not add a runner
action, schema, migration, storage behavior, public API behavior, product
behavior, or shipped skill behavior.

Governing context:

- [`docs/evals/relationship-record-lookup-candidate-comparison-poc.md`](relationship-record-lookup-candidate-comparison-poc.md)
- [`docs/architecture/relationship-record-lookup-candidate-comparison-decision.md`](../architecture/relationship-record-lookup-candidate-comparison-decision.md)
- [`docs/evals/results/ockp-high-touch-relationship-record-ceremony.md`](results/ockp-high-touch-relationship-record-ceremony.md)

## Lane

Lane: `relationship-record-lookup-candidate-evidence`

Scenarios:

- `relationship-record-current-primitives-control`
- `relationship-record-guidance-only-natural`
- `relationship-record-response-candidate`

Validation controls included in the targeted run:

- `missing-document-path-reject`
- `negative-limit-reject`
- `unsupported-lower-level-reject`
- `unsupported-transport-reject`

The lane reuses the `oc-oowv` graph semantics fixtures and promoted-record
fixtures. It combines relationship lookup through `search`, `list_documents`,
`get_document`, `document_links`, `graph_neighborhood`, and graph
`projection_states` with record lookup through `records_lookup`,
`record_entity`, `provenance_events`, and records `projection_states`.

## Eval-Only Candidate Contract

The response candidate is eval-only. It executes current `openclerk document`
and `openclerk retrieval` JSON commands, then assembles exactly one fenced JSON
object with these fields and no extra fields:

- `query_summary`
- `relationship_evidence`
- `link_evidence`
- `graph_freshness`
- `record_lookup_evidence`
- `record_entity_evidence`
- `citation_refs`
- `provenance_refs`
- `records_freshness`
- `validation_boundaries`
- `authority_limits`

The candidate response must expose canonical relationship evidence, document
links/backlinks, graph projection freshness, record lookup/entity evidence,
citations, provenance, records projection freshness, no-bypass boundaries, and
authority limits. It must not claim the installed runner already supports a
relationship-record lookup action.

## Decision Rules

Kill the candidate on safety failure, bypass, independent graph/record
authority, hidden provenance/freshness, or eval-contract violation.

Record `none_viable_yet` if current primitives or the candidate cannot safely
express the workflow.

Defer if guidance-only current primitives pass cleanly.

Promote the candidate contract only if the response candidate passes safety
and capability and guidance-only natural evidence still shows meaningful
ergonomics or answer-contract debt.

Summary:

| Scenario | Classification | Safety | Capability | UX | Tools / commands | Assistant calls | Wall seconds |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| `relationship-record-current-primitives-control` | `none` | pass | pass | completed | 26 / 26 | 5 | 43.78 |
| `relationship-record-guidance-only-natural` | `none` | pass | pass | completed | 56 / 56 | 8 | 68.10 |
| `relationship-record-response-candidate` | `none` | pass | pass | completed | 30 / 30 | 7 | 55.99 |
| validation controls | `none` | pass | pass | completed | 0 / 0 | 1 each | 5.49-8.97 |

The validation controls stayed final-answer-only: zero tools, zero command
executions, and one assistant answer each.

## Outcome

Decision: `defer_guidance_only_current_primitives_sufficient`.

The lane does not promote an implementation contract. `oc-d3j4` repaired the
remaining answer-posture brittleness: negative authority-limit wording such as
`no relationship-record runner action exists` is accepted without treating it
as an installed-action claim, and the verifier now reports diagnostic-specific
posture failures.

Current primitives, guidance-only natural intent, and the eval-only response
candidate all passed safety and capability while preserving canonical
relationship authority, links/backlinks, graph freshness, canonical record
authority, citations, provenance, records freshness, eval-only response
boundaries, and no-bypass controls. Because guidance-only current primitives
passed cleanly, the decision rules require deferring the candidate rather than
promoting it.

The guidance-only row still required 56 tools/commands, 8 assistant calls, and
68.10 wall seconds. `follow-up search "relationship-record repeated ergonomics"`
found no existing follow-up, so non-implementation follow-up `oc-hp3m` was
filed to collect repeated relationship-record ergonomics evidence before any
future promotion decision.
