From aad65aec9fa336075014b4a84bf9e120d66a9d20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Bockelie Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 13:56:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat(scan): sentence-salience reducer module (ADR-130) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements reduce_for_embed(input, budget_tokens) — the structural replacement for the interim truncation caps from PRs #94/#95/#96. Pipeline: tokenize → frequency-count over whole input → softmax → score each sentence by average token weight → keep top-N within token budget → reassemble in document order. Non-prose fallback: when split_sentences finds ≤1 sentence (bash commands, JSON, heredoc bodies, code blobs), degrade to bag-of-words token selection rather than emitting empty or panicking. Panic-free on input-derived values; pathological cases (e.g. all stopwords) fall through to a hard char-budget slice so a non-empty input never produces an empty output. Unit tests cover: passthrough under budget, empty/whitespace input, prose reduction with topical term preservation, document-order preservation, single-long-sentence fallback, budget enforcement, stopword filtering, punctuation handling, softmax correctness, sentence-splitter behavior on prose/paragraph/non-prose inputs, non-prose fallback contract. 14/14 tests pass. Module is not yet wired into scan paths — next commit integrates the four entrypoints.

Threshold-aware top-1. The previous test grabbed the highest-scoring row from way-embed match --threshold 0.0 regardless of whether it would actually fire in production. Per-way embed_threshold gating (EN ≥ 0.40, multi ≥ 0.55) is what determines firing in scan/mod.rs:: match_prompt; the test now mirrors that. Queries with no good corpus match produce (none) for both full and reduced — the correct outcome. 2. Budget tuning. Bumped per-hook budgets from ~75% to ~85% of the 128-token MiniLM window: BUDGET_PROMPT/TASK 95→110, BUDGET_COMMAND 60→75, BUDGET_FILE unchanged. Approximate tokenizer over-counts vs WordPiece so real tokens stay safely under 128 even at the higher numbers. Also extends scaffold stopwords with PR/git workflow terms (pr, branch, diff, review, body, scope, summary, etc.) that dominate agent-dispatch prompts and crowd out topical signal under pure frequency salience. Result on 8-query validation set against the live corpus: 8/8 (100%) firing-set agreement between full input and reducer output. Above the ≥ 90% gate. 6 queries correctly produce no-match for both runs (weak-signal queries the corpus has no good match for); 2 queries fire identical ways for both runs.

CJK tokenization estimate. approx_tokens used max(words, chars/4), which severely under-counts WordPiece tokens for Japanese/Chinese where each ideograph or kana costs ~1 token. A 400-char Japanese input would estimate at ~100 tokens but produce ~400 real tokens past the 128-position-embedding window → SIGABRT regression for multilingual users. Added is_cjk(char) covering CJK Unified Ideographs (incl. Extensions A/B), Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, and CJK Compatibility Ideographs. approx_tokens now takes the max of three estimators: words, chars/4, and cjk-chars. 2. Dead `use std::process::Command;` import in test fn top1_fires — the function delegates to best_match and doesn't use Command directly. 3. Defensive budget_tokens == 0 guard in reduce_by_tokens. Unreachable from current call sites, but a 0 budget would silently produce empty output and break the "non-empty input never returns empty" contract. 4. Comment on the deliberate `continue` (not `break`) in the greedy salience-sorted fitting loop — a later sentence may still fit even after a longer earlier one didn't. Three new tests cover the changes: - cjk_input_estimates_one_token_per_char (JP, ZH, EN) - cjk_long_input_triggers_reduction (would have been a SIGABRT pre-fix) - budget_zero_does_not_return_empty 91 unit + 11 simulator tests pass.
