From e8dd59a6da04847b1ef2249f2d3b52f6ac113ad1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: plind-junior <59729252+plind-junior@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 11:36:29 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(extract): density-selection knob for ingest (max-claims/budget-chars) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ingest filed every substantive sentence of a source — complete, but a restatement of the whole document rather than the facts worth a claim, and that beats nothing on accuracy-per-token, not grep. add extract.select_spans: rank candidate spans by information density (sum over distinct content words of 1/document-frequency, so rare specific terms outweigh stopword-heavy filler) and keep the best under a claim-count or character budget. deterministic and llm-free, and it only ever returns a subset of the verbatim spans — never a paraphrase — so every kept claim's receipt still verifies by construction. thread max_claims/budget_chars through extract_receipt_claims and ingest_source, and expose vouch ingest --max-claims / --budget-chars. unset, ingest keeps every span exactly as before (the unbudgeted baseline stays untouched); the older positional limit used by session-answer capture is unchanged. this is the selection step the compiler pivot needs: fewer, denser claims are what move the fidelity number against the grep baseline. --- CHANGELOG.md | 14 ++++++ src/vouch/cli.py | 18 +++++++- src/vouch/extract.py | 96 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- tests/test_extract.py | 105 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 230 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 0704c6a4..065771ca 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -64,6 +64,20 @@ All notable changes to vouch are documented here.
