Hushwheel RAG Playbook Audit

  • Audit date: 2026-03-17 (Asia/Tbilisi)
  • Repository root: /home/standard/dspy_rag_in_repo_docs_and_impl1
  • Working tree state during audit: hushwheel fixture question suite, fixture notebook scaffold, guide article, benchmark-filter fix for nested roots, and new notebook surface

Scope

This audit covers the hushwheel follow-up work added in this turn:

  • samples/training/hushwheel_fixture_training_examples.yaml now defines a benchmark-ready question suite for the large C fixture.
  • samples/population/hushwheel_fixture_population_candidates.yaml now defines a staged-ingestion plan for the fixture corpus.
  • src/repo_rag_lab/notebook_scaffolding.py now exposes build_hushwheel_fixture_lab_context(...).
  • documentation/hushwheel-fixture-rag-guide.md now provides a guide article for running RAG against the fixture.
  • notebooks/05_hushwheel_fixture_rag_lab.ipynb now provides a notebook playbook for fixture retrieval experiments.
  • src/repo_rag_lab/benchmarks.py now filters benchmark exclusions using root-relative paths so nested fixture roots under tests/fixtures/ still evaluate correctly.

Executed Commands

Executed successfully in this turn:

  • uv sync --extra azure
  • make hooks-install
  • make utility-summary
  • uv run python -m compileall src tests
  • uv run pytest tests/test_training_samples.py tests/test_population_samples.py tests/test_benchmarks_and_notebook_scaffolding.py tests/test_hushwheel_fixture.py
  • make verify-surfaces
  • uv run repo-rag smoke-test
  • cargo build --manifest-path rust-cli/Cargo.toml
  • make quality

Notable results:

  • make utility-summary: pass
  • uv run python -m compileall src tests: pass
  • uv run pytest tests/test_training_samples.py tests/test_population_samples.py tests/test_benchmarks_and_notebook_scaffolding.py tests/test_hushwheel_fixture.py: pass, 24 passed in 12.70s
  • make verify-surfaces: pass, checked_notebook_count: 5, issue_count: 0
  • uv run repo-rag smoke-test: pass, reported answer_contains_repository: true, mcp_candidate_count: 1, and manifest_path: artifacts/azure/repo-rag-smoke.json
  • cargo build --manifest-path rust-cli/Cargo.toml: pass
  • make hooks-install: pass
  • make quality: pass, 47 passed in 53.60s with total coverage 88.62% against the 85% floor

Verification Notes

Three issues were found and fixed during the turn:

  • The first fixture-benchmark attempt returned zero matches because benchmark filtering treated ancestor path parts like tests as if they were inside the selected root. The filter now evaluates root-relative paths.
  • The first repository benchmark rerun lost one baseline pass because the new hushwheel guide and completeness checklist polluted the fairness corpus. Benchmark exclusions now omit those meta docs.
  • The first make quality run failed on import-order and mypy issues in the new hushwheel scaffold. Those were corrected before the final passing rerun.

Current Verification Status

Configured and executed in this turn:

  • Compile checks: present and passed.
  • Lint checks: present and passed for Python modules and notebook code cells through make quality.
  • Type checking: present and passed through mypy and basedpyright inside make quality.
  • Repository-surface verification: present and passed with 5 notebooks checked.
  • Complexity reporting: present and executed through uv run radon cc src/repo_rag_lab -s -n B inside make quality; the command completed successfully.
  • Tests: present and passed for the new fixture sample suites, fixture notebook scaffold, existing fixture retrieval tests, and the full pytest suite.
  • Coverage: present and passed at 88.62%.
  • Smoke workflow: present and passed.
  • Rust build: present and passed.
  • Git hook installation: present and passed.

Absent or still not verified locally in this turn:

  • UI or browser tests: none found in the repository configuration.
  • Dedicated integration-test suite separate from the pytest surface: none found.
  • Live Azure endpoint validation: not executed in this turn.
  • Automated DSPy training compile path: not implemented in the repository today.

CI Evidence

Recent CI evidence already committed in the repository:

  • samples/logs/20260317T073404Z-gh-runs.md records a successful same-day CI workflow with both Rust and Python jobs green for an earlier commit.
  • samples/logs/20260317T085723Z-gh-runs-hushwheel-fixture.md records the latest available same-day GitHub Actions status captured after the previous hushwheel fixture push.

Comparison against local results in this turn:

  • No mismatch was found between the current local pass set and the latest committed CI evidence for Rust build, Python quality/test surfaces, or notebook verification.
