## ✅ ALL FIXES APPLIED (2026-05-15)

### Fix-01: `arif_evidence_fetch` fetch mode — status code type fix
**File:** `arifosmcp/tools/evidence.py` (lines 66, 93)
**Change:** Cast HTTP status code from `int` to `str`

### Fix-02: `arif_memory_recall` recall mode — Qdrant point ID fallback
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/memory_store.py` (lines 727-743)
**Change:** Added Fallback A to direct Qdrant retrieve when memory_id is a Qdrant point ID

### Fix-03: `arif_judge_deliberate` compare mode — proper compare implementation
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/tools.py` (lines 7588-7670)
**Change:** Added mode-specific branching for `compare`, `explain`, `history` before standard judge pipeline
- `compare`: Splits candidate on `||`, runs evaluation on each, returns `comparison` + `recommendation`
- `explain`: Runs evaluation and returns human-readable `rationale`
- `history`: Returns last 50 verdicts from vault ledger

### Fix-04: `arif_mind_reason` plan mode — plan_id now top-level
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/tools.py` (line 4311)
**Change:** Added `plan_id` at top-level of result dict alongside `plan_receipt` for direct forge pipeline access

### Fix-05: `arif_kernel_route` list mode — public without session
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/tools.py` (lines 5438-5445)
**Change:** Added `_public_modes = {"list", "status", "kernel", "federation_health", "triage"}` — session validation skipped for public modes

### Fix-06: `arif_sense_observe` compass mode — proper direction parsing
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/tools.py` (lines 3493-3524)
**Change:** Query now parsed to determine direction; UNDETERMINED returned with reason when query unparseable

### Fix-07: `arif_sense_observe` ingest mode — description always present
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/tools.py` (lines 3468-3500)
**Change:** Always include `description` field (empty string if unavailable)

### Fix-08: `arif_session_init` authority — OPERATOR_CLAIMED for actor_id without signature
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/tools.py` (lines 2670-2680)
**Change:** `actor_id` provided but no signature → `OPERATOR_CLAIMED` (not OBSERVER)

### Fix-09: `arif_evidence_fetch` search mode — actual search implementation
**File:** `arifosmcp/runtime/tools.py` (lines 3953-4002)
**Change:** `search` mode now calls `store.search()` on Qdrant; previously returned `results: []` without searching

## Test Results

```
tests/runtime/: 6 failed (pre-existing), 326 passed, 7 skipped
tests/ (full suite): 29 failed (all pre-existing), 1606 passed, 14 skipped
```

**No new test failures introduced by fixes.**

---

### G-03: 🟡 MEDIUM — `arif_mind_reason` plan mode: No `plan_id` returned
**Symptom:** `plan` mode returns reasoning synthesis but no `plan_id` for use in `arif_forge_execute`
**Expected:** `plan_id` field that can be passed to `arif_forge_execute(plan_id=...)`
**Actual:** `plan_id` is null/absent in response
**Impact:** The H2ratification workflow (reason → plan → forge) is broken at the plan step

---

### G-04: 🟡 MEDIUM — `arif_kernel_route` list mode: Returns HOLD without session
**Symptom:** `arif_kernel_route(mode='list')` returns `HOLD` with reason `"F11 AUTH: session_id missing"` even though the tool is marked `access: public`
**Impact:** Tool enumeration requires a session even for read-only listing

---

### G-05: 🟡 MEDIUM — `arif_judge_deliberate` explain mode: Empty explanation
**Symptom:** `mode='explain'` returns `STATUS: SEAL` but `explanation` field is empty string
**Impact:** Cannot get human-readable rationale for a verdict

---

### G-06: 🟡 LOW — `arif_session_init`: authority_level = OBSERVER not SOVEREIGN
**Symptom:** `actor_id='arif'` passed to `arif_session_init` returns `authority_level: "OBSERVER"`
**Expected:** Since Arif is the sovereign, authority should be `SOVEREIGN`
**Fix path:** Provide `actor_signature` parameter for full SOVEREIGN authority

---

### G-07: 🟡 LOW — `arif_evidence_fetch` search: 0 results for specific queries
**Symptom:** `search` mode returns `results: []` for "arifOS constitutional AI framework"
**Possible cause:** Brave API may not have results, or query parsing issue

---

### G-08: 🟡 LOW — `arif_sense_observe` compass mode: `direction` field null
**Symptom:** `mode='compass', query='north'` returns `direction: null` in result

---

### G-09: 🟡 LOW — `arif_sense_observe` ingest mode: `description` field null
**Symptom:** `mode='ingest', url='https://arif-fazil.com'` returns `description: null`

---

### G-10: 🟡 LOW — `arif_ops_measure` topology/drift: Sensor data from in-memory session store only
**Symptom:** `topology` and `drift` modes show `total_records_queried: 4` — only counting in-process session calls

---

## Test Commands Used

```bash
# Initialize session
curl -X POST https://arifos.arif-fazil.com/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"arif_session_init","arguments":{"mode":"init","actor_id":"arif"}},"id":1}'

# Test any tool
curl -X POST https://arifos.arif-fazil.com/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"<tool>","arguments":{...}},"id":N}'
```

## Priority Fixes (Remaining)

### P0 — Fix Immediately
1. **G-02:** `arif_judge_deliberate` compare mode — malformed JSON response

### P1 — Fix Before Next Sprint
2. **G-03:** `arif_mind_reason` plan mode — should return `plan_id` for forge pipeline
3. **G-04:** `arif_kernel_route` list mode — should work without session (public tool)
4. **G-05:** `arif_judge_deliberate` explain mode — returns empty explanation

### P2 — Improve
5. **G-06:** `arif_session_init` — returns OBSERVER not SOVEREIGN for Arif
6. **G-07:** `arif_evidence_fetch` search — investigate 0 results for niche queries
7. **G-08:** `arif_sense_observe` compass mode — direction null
8. **G-09:** `arif_sense_observe` ingest mode — description null
