Retrieval Gate Restored After Rebase

  • Audit date: 2026-03-18 (Asia/Tbilisi)
  • Repository root: /home/standard/dspy_rag_in_repo_docs_and_impl1
  • Working branch during verification: codex/hushwheel-quality-instrumentation-20260318

Scope

This audit captures the follow-up stabilization after rebasing the hushwheel-quality branch over origin/master. The replay had restored an older simplified src/repo_rag_lab/retrieval.py, dropped tests/test_retrieval.py, and removed several docs/audit/ plus samples/logs/ files that exist on master. This turn restored those master surfaces, reran the repository-native verification loop, and confirmed that the pre-push retrieval gate now passes without relaxing the master thresholds.

Current Verification Status

Configured and exercised in this turn:

  • compile checks
  • retrieval regression gate
  • retrieval-specific and repository-surface pytest coverage
  • repository smoke test
  • repository surface verification
  • tracked-file inventory sync
  • exploratorium translation sync
  • Rust wrapper build

Configured but not exercised in this turn:

  • make quality
  • make coverage
  • full repository pytest outside the targeted suites above
  • post-push GitHub Actions logging for the upcoming force-push

Absent or not exercised in this turn:

  • UI or browser tests: none found
  • live Azure endpoint probes: not exercised
  • deployment validation beyond the local smoke test: not exercised

Notes

  • The push blocker was not a threshold mismatch on master. A clean origin/master checkout still passes make retrieval-eval with average_source_recall: 1.0 at top_k=4.
  • The branch-specific failure came from replaying an older retriever implementation that removed:
  • paragraph-aware chunking
  • path-aware lexical score adjustments
  • source diversification across retrieved chunks
  • Restoring src/repo_rag_lab/retrieval.py, tests/test_retrieval.py, README.AGENTS.md, documentation/package-api.md, and the dropped audit/log files from origin/master brought the branch back in line with the rebased base branch.
  • tests/test_utilities.py still intentionally covers the no-threshold serialization path for run_retrieval_evaluation, while make retrieval-eval now proves that the stricter master thresholds pass in the real repository state.
