 All notable changes to ARI are documented here. Versions follow `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`.
 
+## Unreleased — Skill-platform P6 removal
+
+- Removed the deprecated web provider aliases, mutable backend selector,
+  iterative LLM collector, and `papers`/`results` retrieval projections. Use
+  `search_papers(provider=...)`, canonical `records`, and explicit broker/workflow
+  composition.
+- Removed coding-skill's flat measurement writer and permissive JSON coercion.
+  `emit_results` now writes only the typed `measurement_set`; the old reader is
+  read-only migration support.
+- Removed replicate-skill's low-coverage single-call generator, prompt, API/env
+  switches, GUI controls, and report field. Rubric generation is always
+  `hierarchical-v2`/`calibrated`, with model-call budgets and repair provenance.
+- Removed the five container-specific HPC public aliases and their compilers.
+  Container work uses `container_submit`. The core-agent `slurm_submit` bridge
+  remains narrowly supported until that agent emits `JobRequestV1` directly.
+- Added the permanent
+  [compatibility support policy](docs/reference/compatibility_support.md) with
+  owners and objective re-evaluation gates for retained readers, deployment
+  paths, PaperBench adaptations, and registry repair.
+- Externalized the remaining paper claim-declaration guidance without changing
+  the bytes sent to the model; prompt and composition digests are regression
+  tested.
+- Removed the completed temporary skill-platform plan set after its
+  architecture, contracts, migration rules, and retained-support decisions were
+  transferred to permanent documentation.
+
+Pre-removal rollback boundary: `c487ea9` (`feat(orchestrator): add durable
+authenticated run control`).

+# Evaluator calibration corpus
+
+`evaluator_v1.json` is the permanent, versioned calibration input for ARI's
+scientific evaluator boundary.  The hard-gate cases execute in CI and cover
+numeric agreement, formula resolution, unit conversion, evidence identity,
+artifact integrity, and policy behavior.  The semantic cases are human labels
+for advisory reviewer calibration; they are not converted into deterministic
+scientific truth and are not used to change a hard-gate result.
+
+Changes require a schema-version decision, a human review of every expected
+label, and the evaluator calibration test.  Removing a case requires recording
+which replacement preserves its positive or negative boundary.

 - `__init__.py` — `MemoryClient` protocol, backends, migration map.
-- `auto_migrate.py` — v0.5.x → v0.6.0 auto-migration on first launch.

 - `client.py` — abstract `MemoryClient` ABC.
 - `file_client.py` — `FileMemoryClient` (legacy JSONL).

-Sub-packages here host code that ARI keeps around purely so existing
-checkpoints created on older releases stay readable.  The plan
-(REFACTORING.md §8) is to keep new feature code free of v0.5 / v0.6
-branching by funnelling that branching through this package and
-shipping thin re-exports at the historical import paths.
+``checkpoint`` normalizes historical checkpoint paper and replay inputs while
+digesting every consumed file. ``skill_manifest`` converts unversioned package
+metadata in memory. Neither module is a runtime registration path; production
+discovery accepts canonical manifests only.
+
+The ``v05_to_v07`` package contains the older memory and node-report migration
+helpers retained for supported checkpoints.

+This immutable fixture represents the historical nested-tree checkpoint layout
+used to verify read-only paper and replay migration. Tests digest the complete
+directory before and after inspection so a compatibility reader cannot rewrite
+the source data.
+
+The fixture is deliberately committed despite the repository-wide runtime
+`checkpoints/` ignore rule. Update it only with a corresponding migration
+contract change and an explicit compatibility rationale.

-- `mcp_tools.json` — golden catalog of the 14 `ari-skill-*/src/server.py` MCP tool surfaces (86 unique names = 59 FastMCP + 28 low-level `Tool` defs, with arg names), the return-envelope/naming invariants, and the recorded cross-skill name collision (`read_file`); built by static AST in `build_mcp_static()`.

 ## What each golden pins
 
 | Fixture | Surface | Pins | How built |
 | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| `public_api.json` | public API | Exact exported-symbol set per `ari.public.<submodule>` (`claim_gate`, `config_schema`, `container`, `cost_tracker`, `llm`, `paths`, `run_env`, `verified_context`). | In-process `importlib` of each submodule, capturing its resolved `__all__`. |
+| `public_api.json` | public API | Exact exported-symbol set for every module listed by `scripts/snapshot_contracts.py::_PUBLIC_SUBMODULES`. | In-process `importlib` of each submodule, capturing its resolved `__all__`. |
 | `cli_tree.json` | CLI | Structural command/option tree of `ari` (commands, sub-typers, positional-argument order, options), plus the curated flag→env-var side effects (`ARI_IDEA_VIRSCI_*`, `ARI_RUBRIC`, …) Typer cannot expose. | In-process Typer→Click introspection. |
-| `mcp_tools.json` | MCP catalog | Per-skill tool names + arg lists across all 14 `ari-skill-*` servers, the FastMCP/low-level counts, the `mcp__<skill>__<tool>` / `["error","result"]` invariants, and the recorded flat-namespace collisions (last-skill-wins clobber guard). | Static AST scan of each `src/server.py` (never launches a skill server). |

 Each golden is consumed by `ari-core/tests/test_contract_snapshots.py`, which imports the same `build_*` / `compare` helpers so `pytest` and `--check` can never disagree.

 # ari-skill-benchmark
 
-Statistical analysis, visualisation, and hypothesis testing as MCP
-tools.  Fully deterministic (P2-safe): every tool reads numeric
-inputs and returns numeric outputs without invoking an LLM.
+Deterministic scientific summaries, statistical inference, and run comparison.
+The server makes no LLM calls and delegates every figure to
+`ari-skill-plot:render_figure`.
 
 ## MCP tools
 
-| Tool | Purpose | LLM |
-|---|---|:---:|
-| `analyze_results` | Compute summary statistics (mean / std / quantiles, ...) from a result file (CSV / JSON / npy) | ✗ |
-| `plot` | Render a matplotlib figure from a fixed schema | ✗ |
-| `statistical_test` | Hypothesis test (`t_test`, `mann_whitney_u`, `paired_t_test`, ...) | ✗ |
+| Tool | Contract | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `analyze_results` | `AnalysisRequestV1` | Unit-bearing summary statistics and mean confidence intervals |
+| `statistical_test` | `StatisticalTestRequestV1` | Paired/unpaired tests, effect sizes, confidence intervals, assumptions, and corrected p-values |
+| `compare_runs` | `RunComparisonRequestV1` | Rankings plus environment, replicate, and provenance differences |
 
-### `analyze_results`
+All tools return `AnalysisResultV1`. Public models are available from
+`ari.public.analysis`, with generated JSON Schemas under
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/`.
 
-| Field | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `result_path` | Path to the input file (CSV / JSON / npy) |
-| `metrics` (optional) | Subset of metric names; defaults to every column |
+## Inputs and provenance
 
-Returns `{"<metric>": {"mean": ..., "std": ..., "min": ..., "max": ..., "p25": ..., "p50": ..., "p75": ...}}`.
+Samples can be inline observations or a typed `csv`, `json`, or `npy` source.
+A file source must name a closed `WorkspaceRefV1`, a safe relative path, an
+expected SHA-256 digest, a numeric value column when needed, and optional
+replicate/pair/backend/environment identity columns. NumPy object arrays and
+pickle loading are prohibited.
 
-### `plot`
+Every metric has an explicit unit. Empty samples, all-missing samples, unit
+mismatches, and paired-length mismatches fail. Missing and non-finite values are
+either rejected or dropped according to `missing_policy`; dropping is reported
+in the result.
 
-| Field | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `data_path` | Input file |
-| `figure_spec` | Dict with keys `kind` (`line` / `bar` / `scatter` / `hist`), `x`, `y`, `groupby`, `title`, ... |
-| `output_path` | PNG / PDF target |
+`AnalysisResultV1` records the resolved input digest, Python/NumPy/SciPy
+versions, counts, effect size, confidence interval, assumption diagnostics, and
+the pre-registration `analysis_plan_digest` when supplied. Multiple comparisons
+must select Bonferroni, Holm, or Benjamini-Hochberg correction.
 
-Returns `{"figure_path": "...", "size_bytes": ...}`.
+## Artifacts
 
-### `statistical_test`
-
-| Field | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `test` | `t_test` / `mann_whitney_u` / `paired_t_test` / ... |
-| `sample_a`, `sample_b` | Numeric arrays |
-| `alpha` (optional) | Significance level (default 0.05) |
-
-Returns `{"statistic": ..., "p_value": ..., "significant": bool}`.
-
-## Determinism
-
-All three tools are byte-deterministic for given inputs.  No LLM
-calls; all randomness is seeded at the matplotlib level (figures use
-the `Agg` backend with no GUI dependency).
-
-## Environment variables
-
-None.  The skill reads only its tool arguments.
-
-## Dependencies
-
-- `numpy >= 1.26`
-- `scipy >= 1.11`
-- `matplotlib >= 3.8`
-- `pandas >= 2.0`
-- `mcp >= 1.0`
+An optional `artifact_target` writes deterministic `result.json` and
+`table.csv` files through a closed workspace. The paths are keyed by the
+resolved input digest and returned with byte digests and media types.

 ## Overview
 
-MCP Server for experiment result analysis, visualization, and statistical testing.
+MCP server for deterministic experiment summaries, statistical inference, and
+provenance-aware run comparison. Figure rendering belongs exclusively to
+`ari-skill-plot`.
 
 ## MCP Tools
 
-### analyze_results(file_path: str, format: str = "json") -> dict
-Analyzes result files (CSV / JSON / npy) and returns a summary with statistics.
+### analyze_results(request: AnalysisRequestV1) -> AnalysisResultV1
+Analyzes unit-bearing inline samples or digest-bound CSV / JSON / npy sources.
+Missing-value policy, confidence level, pre-registration digest, and artifact
+target are explicit.
 
-### compare_runs(run_ids: list, metric: str) -> dict
-Compares multiple runs on a specified metric. Returns rankings and deltas.
+### statistical_test(request: StatisticalTestRequestV1) -> AnalysisResultV1
+Runs paired/unpaired parametric or rank tests. Returns sample counts, effect
+size, confidence interval, assumptions, p-value, and corrected p-value.
 
-### statistical_test(group_a: list, group_b: list, test: str = "ttest") -> dict
-Runs a statistical significance test between two result groups.
+### compare_runs(request: RunComparisonRequestV1) -> AnalysisResultV1
+Ranks scalar runs while retaining environment compatibility, shared-substrate
+caveats, replicate identity, and provenance differences.
 
 ## Design
 
-- All tools are deterministic (no LLM)
-- Supports CSV, JSON, NumPy array inputs
+- All tools are deterministic and make no LLM calls.
+- Public requests and results use `ari.public.analysis` v1 contracts.
+- Source files are closed-workspace paths bound to expected SHA-256 digests.
+- JSON and CSV artifacts are content addressed by the resolved input digest.
+- `plot` and the matplotlib/pandas dependencies were removed in v0.2.

 # ari-skill-coding
 
-Code-writing and execution MCP skill for ARI's research agent.
-
-The skill is the agent's "hands": it writes source files into the
-node's working directory, runs them under a sandboxed subprocess
-group, and reports back stdout/stderr.  Optional Singularity /
-Apptainer wrapping keeps user code isolated from the host on shared
-clusters.
+Workspace-scoped code authoring, bounded process execution, complete log
+capture, and typed scientific result emission for ARI agents.
 
 ## MCP tools
 
-| Tool | Purpose |
+| Tool | Contract |
 |---|---|
-| `write_code` | Write a file (any text) into the node's working directory |
-| `run_code` | Execute a script with a timeout and capture stdout / stderr |
-| `run_bash` | Run an ad-hoc bash command (short, no timeout management) |
-| `emit_results` | Emit a structured JSON record (`metrics`, `has_real_data`) for the evaluator |
-| `read_file` | Read back a file the agent wrote earlier (truncated to 8 KB) |
-
-`emit_results` is the only tool that affects evaluation scoring; the
-others are scratch-space operations.
-
-## Determinism (P2)
-
-Code execution itself is deterministic at the subprocess level — same
-inputs, same outputs.  Whatever the *user code* does is its own
-business; ARI's role is to launch it cleanly and capture the trace.
-
-The skill makes no LLM calls.
-
-## Environment variables
+| `write_code` | Atomic text write below the configured workspace root; rejects traversal and symlinks |
+| `run_code` | Structured interpreter argv, source SHA-256 verification, immutable source snapshot, timeout/process limits, and complete log artifacts |
+| `run_bash` | Explicit shell permission for builds or compound commands; local or configured clean container execution |
+| `emit_results` | Canonical `ari.measurement-set/v1`; rejects non-finite or non-JSON values instead of coercing them |
+| `read_file` | Symlink-safe, bounded and paginated workspace read |
+
+`run_code` and `run_bash` return a stable `execution_identity`, a per-attempt
+`attempt_id`, the exact enforcement report, input bindings, container identity,
+and content-addressed stdout/stderr artifacts. Copy the returned
+`measurement_execution` object into `emit_results.execution` to bind measured
+values to the successful execution and its evidence. The object includes a
+server-session receipt; emission verifies the exact attempt and re-hashes its
+artifacts before writing.
+
+## Security and provenance
+
+- `ARI_WORK_DIR` is the core-owned root. Caller `work_dir` values may only name
+  subdirectories below it and are validated before creation.
+- Reads and writes walk path components without following symlinks. Writes are
+  atomic.
+- Workspace scoping protects tool-mediated file access; host child code is not
+  an operating-system filesystem sandbox. Run code that is not trusted as the
+  ARI service account only in a reviewed isolated substrate.
+- The parent process environment is not copied to user code. Only a fixed
+  platform environment and explicitly reviewed values reach the launcher.
+- Local execution uses a new process group; timeout/cancellation reaps the
+  group. Requested POSIX resource controls fail closed if unavailable.
+- Host execution declares network inheritance. The manifest therefore grants
+  `network` only to the two execution tools; network denial requires a reviewed
+  isolated substrate. Results report the requested policy separately from the
+  actual `inherited`, `isolated`, or `external-unverified` enforcement state.
+- Container execution uses exact structured runtime argv, a clean environment,
+  no unknown-runtime host fallback, and either a SHA-256 image/SIF identity or
+  an explicit `unresolved` status for a mutable tag.
+- Inline logs are bounded previews. Complete logs are retained under
+  `.ari-execution/` and can be checked against their SHA-256 digests.
+
+## Scientific measurements
+
+Measurements must be finite numbers and cannot overlap parameter, prediction,
+or score names. Units are never inferred. A measurement without a unit is
+written with `unit_status: missing`. `scientifically_admissible` requires at
+least one measurement and, for every record, a unit, a successful zero-exit
+execution identity, and an evidence artifact. Domain-specific validity remains
+the evaluator's responsibility.
+
+New files contain only the canonical `measurement_set` object. The shared
+parser retains a read-only migration path for old flat `results.json` files and
+cross-checks mixed historical documents, but the writer never recreates those
+fields or coerces unsupported values.
+
+## Configuration
 
 | Variable | Purpose | Default |
 |---|---|---|
-| `ARI_MAX_CHILD_PROCS` | RLIMIT_NPROC cap inside the sandbox | `1024` |
-| `ARI_WORK_DIR` | Override the per-node working directory root | `/tmp/ari_work` |
-| `ARI_CONTAINER_IMAGE` | Path to a SIF / OCI image for sandbox wrapping | unset (host execution) |
-| `ARI_CONTAINER_MODE` | `exec` or `shell`; chooses the singularity invocation | `exec` |
-
-When `ARI_CONTAINER_IMAGE` is set, every spawned subprocess is wrapped
-in `singularity exec` (or `apptainer exec`).  See
-`ari-core/ari/container.py` for the resolver and
-`docs/guides/troubleshooting.md` for sandbox failure modes.
-
-## Sandbox guarantees
-
-- New process group via `setsid()` so a hung child can be SIGKILLed
-  cleanly without taking the parent.
-- `RLIMIT_NPROC` hard-capped at `ARI_MAX_CHILD_PROCS` to prevent
-  fork-bomb regressions (the limit was added after a 70 k-process
-  incident).
-- stdout / stderr truncated to 4 KB / 2 KB respectively before being
-  returned to the LLM, so a runaway log cannot blow the prompt budget.
-
-## ari-core boundary
-
-Tests import `ari.container` directly today (see
-`tests/test_server.py`).  Phase 4 of the master refactor moves this
-to `ari.public.container`; the migration is tracked in
-`ari-skill-coding/REFACTORING.md`.
+| `ARI_WORK_DIR` | Core-owned workspace root | `/tmp/ari_work` |
+| `ARI_MAX_CHILD_PROCS` | Optional POSIX process-count limit | unset |
+| `ARI_CONTAINER_IMAGE` | SIF path or OCI image reference | unset (host) |
+| `ARI_CONTAINER_MODE` | `auto`, `docker`, `singularity`, or `apptainer` | `auto` |
+| `APPTAINER_CACHEDIR` / `SINGULARITY_CACHEDIR` | Explicit runtime cache directory | runtime default |
 
 ## Development
 
 ```bash
-pytest tests/ -q
+PYTHONPATH=../ari-core pytest -q tests
 ```
 
-Two test files: `test_server.py` (MCP-level happy path) and
-`test_sandbox.py` (RLIMIT_NPROC + setsid behaviour).

 # ari-skill-evaluator
 
-MCP skill for metric-spec generation and claim/evidence verification.
-
-**Role: spec + verifier, not a judge.**  It mints the per-run metric
-spec and verifies that the paper's claims are grounded in executed
-evidence — it does not produce a scalar quality score itself (P3 multi-
-objective evaluation principle).
+MCP boundary for immutable metric contracts and evidence-grounded evaluation.
+It separates deterministic scientific admission and checking from advisory LLM
+judgment; it does not manufacture a scalar scientific-quality truth.
 
 ## Flow
 
-1. The agent calls `make_metric_spec(experiment_text)` to derive the
-   `MetricSpec` (expected_metrics, metric_keyword, scoring_guide,
-   min_expected_metric). It prefers the idea-stage canonical
-   `primary_metric` and falls back to deterministic parsing of the
-   experiment file. On first mint it also attaches a metric-correctness
-   contract (concept invariants + the idea's falsifiable claims) and
-   persists it to `metric_contract.json`; the contract is **mint-once**
-   (frozen on first persist) so the evidence vocabulary stays stable
-   across the run.
-2. Around the paper build, `claim_evidence_hard_gate` (deterministic,
-   no LLM) verifies claim/number consistency against executed evidence.
-3. `evidence_grounded_semantic_review` (LLM, non-blocking) flags
-   over-claiming / mis-interpretation beyond the evidence.
+1. `make_metric_spec` deterministically consumes an admitted
+   `ResearchContractV1`. The resulting `MetricGateContractV1` is digest-bound,
+   persisted once, and cannot change vocabulary on a rerun.
+2. A legacy idea without that contract may call `propose_metric_contract`.
+   This is an explicit LLM proposal only; it records model, revision, prompt,
+   idea, and evidence digests and always requires human review.
+3. `make_metric_spec(..., proposal_json=..., reviewer=...)` admits the exact
+   proposal and records `MetricAdmissionDecisionV1`. Without a reviewer it does
+   not persist a scientific contract.
+4. `claim_evidence_hard_gate` recomputes claims from exact-run typed
+   measurements and digest-verified artifacts. Its `GateReportV1` is the only
+   blocking evaluation output.
+5. `evidence_grounded_semantic_review` emits a provenance-bound
+   `SemanticReviewV1`. It is advisory and verifies that the hard-gate report was
+   not modified.
 
 ## Tools
 
-| Tool | Description | LLM |
+| Tool | Role | LLM |
 |---|---|:---:|
-| `make_metric_spec` | Mint the `MetricSpec` + mint-once metric-correctness contract from the experiment/idea | ✓ |
-| `claim_evidence_hard_gate` | Deterministic claim-evidence HARD GATE (thin wrapper over ari-core's gate); in strict mode the final phase BLOCKS `finalize_paper` | ✗ |
-| `evidence_grounded_semantic_review` | Non-blocking advisory review of over-claiming / interpretation | ✓ |
-
-## Environment variables
+| `make_metric_spec` | Deterministic mint/read/admission boundary | No |
+| `propose_metric_contract` | Explicit untrusted metric-contract proposal | Yes |
+| `claim_evidence_hard_gate` | Deterministic evidence and arithmetic gate | No |
+| `evidence_grounded_semantic_review` | Independent semantic advisory | Yes |
 
-| Variable | Purpose | Fallback order |
-|---|---|---|
-| `ARI_MODEL_EVAL` | Evaluator-specific LLM model | (none) |
-| `ARI_MODEL` | ARI common model | used when `ARI_MODEL_EVAL` is unset |
-| `ARI_LLM_MODEL` | Cross-skill fallback | used when both above are unset |
+## Model policy
 
-## P2 exception
+- Metric proposal: explicit `model` argument, then
+  `ARI_MODEL_METRIC_PROPOSAL`, then `ARI_LLM_MODEL`, then `gpt-4o-mini`.
+- Semantic review: explicit `model` argument, then
+  `ARI_MODEL_SEMANTIC_REVIEW`, then `ARI_LLM_MODEL`, then `gpt-4o-mini`.
+- `ARI_SEMANTIC_REVIEW_MODEL_REVISION` records the semantic model revision when
+  the caller does not provide one.
 
-`make_metric_spec` and `evidence_grounded_semantic_review` call an LLM,
-so they are **not** byte-deterministic; reruns may produce slightly
-different specs/reviews. `claim_evidence_hard_gate` uses no LLM and is
-deterministic. See `docs/concepts/PHILOSOPHY.md#p2-exceptions` for the
-project's stance on allowed P2 deviations.
+The evaluator does not read the former `ARI_MODEL_EVAL` or `ARI_MODEL`
+aliases. Other core evaluators may retain those variables during their own
+compatibility windows.

-# ari-skill-evaluator Requirements
-
-## Overview
-
-MCP server for evaluation tooling. Historically a data extractor
-(`make_metric_spec`). With the Story2Proposal integration it also hosts the two
-paper-phase evaluation tools (the heavy logic for the gate lives in ari-core;
-this skill is the MCP surface).
-
-## Tools
-
-### make_metric_spec(experiment_text) -> dict
-Deterministic (LLM fallback) MetricSpec extraction. Unchanged.
-
-### claim_evidence_hard_gate(...) -> dict  (Story2Proposal Phase B)
-Thin wrapper over `ari.pipeline.claim_gate.run_hard_gate` (ari-core is on the
-skill's PYTHONPATH). Deterministic claim/evidence verification:
-- claim existence (nodes executed, artifacts present),
-- numeric `formula`-level recompute from `results.json` vs the paper-reported
-  number within tolerance,
-- numeric coverage per section policy (uncovered result numbers),
-- figure existence.
-Writes `evaluation/claim_evidence_hard_gate_{phase}.json`. **Blocking contract:**
-when `should_block` (final + strict + blocking errors) it returns an *error-only*
-payload so the pipeline stage fails and `finalize_paper` is skipped; otherwise it
-returns the full report. Degrades gracefully (non-blocking skip) if ari-core is
-unimportable — it never breaks the finalize chain in `warn`/`off` mode.
-
-Verification boundary: transcription/derivation consistency only (paper ↔
-recorded results), NOT the truthfulness of the recorded results (that is ORS).
-
-### evidence_grounded_semantic_review(...) -> dict  (Story2Proposal Phase D)
-**Non-blocking** LLM review of *meaning only* (numbers/figures already verified by
-the hard gate): over-claiming, over-generalization, interpretation validity,
-unregistered strong (non-numeric) claims. Emits `suggested_revisions` for
-`paper_refine` and per-axis `scores`. On rerun (`phase=post_refine`) computes
-`score_delta` and `resolved_overclaim_count` vs the initial review
-(`resolved_overclaim_count` is the raw `prev - current` delta; negative means
-the detected count increased after refine — a regression, not clamped to 0).
-`human_verified_overclaim_precision` is left `null` (human spot-check, master
-§10.3). Writes `evaluation/evidence_grounded_semantic_review[_post_refine].json`.
-On any LLM/parse failure it returns a non-blocking no-op. Does **not** modify
-`review_compiled_paper` (independence contract) or the dynamic-axes evaluator.
-
-## Model selection
-
-`ARI_MODEL_EVAL` > `ARI_MODEL` > `ARI_LLM_MODEL` > `gpt-4o-mini`.
-
-## Status
-
-Phase D + gate wrapper code + unit tests complete (`tests/test_s2p_tools.py`;
-gate logic itself tested in ari-core). Real compute-node validation pending; see
-`PLAN_s2p_semantic_review.md`.
+# ari-skill-evaluator requirements
+
+## Scientific ownership
+
+- The idea stage owns `MetricContractV1`; evaluator and transform consume the
+  same immutable contract through `ari.public`.
+- Deterministic parsing may report candidate vocabulary, but cannot admit it as
+  scientific truth.
+- LLM metric extraction is an explicit `MetricContractProposalV1` operation.
+  It always requires a named human reviewer and an
+  `MetricAdmissionDecisionV1` before persistence.
+- A persisted canonical contract is mint-once. A conflicting second mint is an
+  error. The pre-v1 reader is conservative, read-only, and never guesses a
+  missing unit.
+
+## Hard gate
+
+`claim_evidence_hard_gate` delegates to `ari.public.claim_gate.run_hard_gate`
+and emits `GateReportV1`. It must:
+
+- bind the report to policy, evidence, formula implementation, metric contract,
+  and permitted unit-conversion provenance;
+- resolve canonical evidence only from the exact run and known executed node;
+- verify typed measurement and artifact digests before using values;
+- reject unknown units, formulas, nodes, cross-run references, missing
+  evidence, and changed artifacts without inference;
+- separate typed `blocking_findings` from `advisory_findings`;
+- block only at the final phase according to policy, with `off` never blocking.
+
+The wrapper returns an error-only payload when `should_block` is true so the
+pipeline cannot finalize. Old published reports are readable through
+`migrate_legacy_gate_report`; missing old provenance is marked unrecorded rather
+than reconstructed.
+
+## Semantic review
+
+`evidence_grounded_semantic_review` uses a separate model policy and prompt. It
+records model/revision, full prompt digest, evidence digest, and hard-gate
+report digest in `SemanticReviewV1`. A timeout, model failure, or parse failure
+returns `status: unavailable`, never success. It is non-blocking and cannot
+modify or override the hard-gate bytes.
+
+## Acceptance suite
+
+- Evaluator unit tests cover deterministic mint, explicit proposal/admission,
+  frozen-contract conflicts, model-policy separation, and hard-gate
+  immutability.
+- Core calibration covers numeric mismatch, formula failure, unit conversion,
+  unknown units, missing/cross-run evidence, artifact tampering, policy modes,
+  semantic overclaim labels, and negative controls.
+- Workflow/manifest conformance rejects every non-empty workflow tool that is
+  absent from its skill manifest.

-You extract FALSIFIABLE CLAIMS from an experiment plan for a verification gate. A falsifiable claim is a specific, testable assertion the experiment promises to evaluate — a mechanism helps, a method beats a baseline, a property holds under a condition. For EACH claim, give required_evidence: the MEASUREMENT NAMES that MUST appear in results.json for the claim to be EVALUABLE AT ALL, regardless of whether the outcome confirms or refutes it (a claim that X improves some metric requires that metric measured both WITH and WITHOUT X). Use concise snake_case names the implementation should emit. Naming rules: every evidence name must be DISTINCTIVE and self-describing (fold the condition into the name, like <metric>_with_<mechanism>); NEVER use a bare generic token (k, n, seed, threads, matrix_id, mode_id, config) as a standalone evidence name — the gate treats a claim as covered when ANY listed name is present, so a generic name falsely satisfies it. Feasibility: require only evidence measurable with standard USERSPACE tooling on the platform the plan states; do not require privileged hardware counters unless the plan itself provides a method for them.

-``_METRIC_EXTRACT_SYS`` -> ``prompts/metric_extract_sys.md``,
-``_SEMANTIC_SYSTEM_PROMPT`` -> ``prompts/semantic_review_sys.md``,
-``_CLAIMS_EXTRACT_SYS`` -> ``prompts/claims_extract_sys.md`` and
-``_CONTRACT_FLAGS_SYS`` -> ``prompts/contract_flags_sys.md`` — are now loaded
-from ``src/prompts/*.md`` via the skill-local ``_load_prompt`` loader (a copied
-mirror of ari-core's ``load_versioned`` contract; no ari-core import). The
-``_RENDERED_SHA`` values were captured from the original string constants
-immediately before extraction; a drift here means the bytes reaching the judge
-LLM changed and evaluation behaviour would shift.
+from __future__ import annotations
 
-All four prompts the Subtask 040 spec mandates (§13.1, §17 — "extract all four")
-are covered. The two the 036 census under-counted (``_CLAIMS_EXTRACT_SYS`` /
-``_CONTRACT_FLAGS_SYS``) are included here per the 040 spec, which explicitly

 # ari-skill-hpc
 
-MCP skill for SLURM and Singularity HPC operations.  Provides tools
-for ARI agents to submit, monitor, and manage HPC jobs.  Local
-(direct) and SSH-based remote-cluster modes are both supported.
+Deterministic MCP skill for reproducible scheduler jobs. It exposes a common
+`JobRequestV1` / `JobHandleV1` / `JobStatusV1` / `JobResultV1` lifecycle, with
+SLURM as the first backend and Apptainer/Singularity as digest-pinned execution
+profiles. The outer MCP call returns immediately after scheduler submission;
+long-running work is polled or cancelled through its handle.
 
-**Design Principle P2 compliant: no LLM calls; fully deterministic.**
+`ari_skill_hpc.execution_adapter.handoff_execution_to_slurm` maps the common
+`ExecutionRequestV1` identity, structured argv, clean environment, and immutable
+input snapshots into a `JobRequestV1`. Its signed `ExecutionHandoffV1` record
+lists every mapped field and every POSIX policy SLURM does not preserve; it
+deliberately reports `policy_equivalent: false` instead of claiming substrate
+parity.
 
-## Tools
+## Canonical tools
 
-| Tool | Description |
+| Tool | Contract |
 |---|---|
-| `slurm_submit` | Submit a SLURM batch script and return `job_id` |
-| `job_status` | Poll job status (`PENDING` / `RUNNING` / `COMPLETED` / `FAILED`) |
-| `job_cancel` | `scancel` a running job |
-| `run_bash` | Read SLURM output file or run a short bash command |
-| `singularity_build` | Build a SIF from a definition file |
-| `singularity_run` | Run a SIF with optional GPU access |
-| `singularity_pull` | Pull a SIF from a remote URI |
-| `singularity_build_fakeroot` | Fakeroot build (no privileged daemon) |
-| `singularity_run_gpu` | GPU variant with `--gres=gpu:N` and bind paths |
-
-## Environment variables
-
-| Variable | Purpose | Default |
-|---|---|---|
-| `SLURM_MODE` | `local` (direct) / `ssh` (remote cluster) | `local` |
-| `SLURM_SSH_HOST` | SSH host for remote SLURM mode | (none — required for `ssh` mode) |
-| `SLURM_SSH_USER` | SSH user | current user |
-| `SLURM_SSH_PORT` | SSH port | `22` |
-| `SLURM_SSH_KEY` | SSH private key path | `~/.ssh/id_rsa` |
-
-(`SLURM_DEFAULT_PARTITION`, `ARI_SLURM_*` etc. are honoured by the
- ARI core; see `docs/reference/environment_variables.md` for the
- full list.)
-
-## Remote (SSH) mode example
+| `job_submit` | Submit one immutable `JobRequestV1`; retries use the durable request digest and do not create a second job. |
+| `container_submit` | The same lifecycle, requiring a pinned `ContainerRequestV1`. |
+| `job_status` | Normalize SLURM states to `submitted`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `cancelled`, or `unknown`. |
+| `job_result` | Rehash declared inputs, outputs, logs, and provenance into `JobResultV1`. |
+| `job_logs` | Return bounded, digest-bound stdout and stderr. |
+| `job_cancel` | Request cancellation with an inert handle or numeric SLURM ID. |
+| `probe_platform_capabilities` | Probe a validated tool list on one compute partition and atomically cache the result. |
+
+The five container-specific aliases were removed after the P6 deprecation and
+caller-count gate. `slurm_submit` remains a scoped bridge for the core agent's
+batch-script workflow; new programmatic integrations use `job_submit`.
+`run_bash` is not an HPC tool; short interactive execution belongs to
+`ari-skill-coding`.
+
+Checked-in JSON Schemas live under [`schemas/`](schemas/). Regenerate or verify
+them with:
 
 ```bash
-export SLURM_MODE=ssh
-export SLURM_SSH_HOST=cluster.example.org
-export SLURM_SSH_USER=research
-python -m ari_skill_hpc.server
+python scripts/sync_contracts.py --write
+python scripts/sync_contracts.py
 ```
 
-## Dependencies
+## Security and reproducibility boundary
+
+- Local scheduler commands use `asyncio.create_subprocess_exec`; no request is
+  interpolated into a login-node shell. Remote commands are POSIX-quoted argv
+  atoms and batch scripts are transferred through `sbatch` standard input.
+- Jobs use `sbatch --export=NIL`. Unlike `NONE`, SLURM documents that `NIL`
+  does not implicitly reconstruct a user login environment. The generated
+  script adds only a fixed PATH, locale, SLURM variables, reviewed non-secret
+  literals, and explicitly named modules. It never sources `.env` or shell rc
+  files.
+- Remote mode requires an absolute `SLURM_SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS` file and an explicit
+  key or password scope. Paramiko `RejectPolicy`, `allow_agent=False`, and
+  `look_for_keys=False` make missing or mismatched host keys fail closed.
+- Input files and SIF images are regular, non-symlink files with exact SHA-256
+  and size pins. Declared outputs must remain below `work_dir` and are rehashed
+  only after terminal completion.
+- A durable ledger records a claim before `sbatch`. A transport failure with an
+  uncertain submit outcome leaves that claim in place, preventing an accidental
+  duplicate on retry.
+
+These choices follow the current primary documentation for
+[SLURM `sbatch`](https://slurm.schedmd.com/sbatch.html),
+[SLURM job states](https://slurm.schedmd.com/job_state_codes.html), and
+[Paramiko host-key policy](https://docs.paramiko.org/en/4.0/api/client.html).
 
-- `mcp >= 1.0`
-- `pydantic >= 2.0`
-- `paramiko >= 3.0` (only when `SLURM_MODE=ssh`)
+## Local mode
 
-## Tests
+`SLURM_MODE=local` is the default. Configure a stable ledger path in production:
 
 ```bash
-pytest tests/ -q                          # all
-pytest tests/test_slurm_local.py          # local only (no SLURM cluster needed)
-pytest tests/test_slurm_remote.py         # SSH-required
+export ARI_HPC_LEDGER_PATH=/shared/project/checkpoints/hpc-jobs-v1.json
+export ARI_SCHEDULER_PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
 ```
 
-## See also
+If no ledger path is configured, the skill uses `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR`, then
+`ARI_WORK_DIR`, and finally a per-user temporary state directory.
+
+## Strict remote mode
+
+```bash
+export SLURM_MODE=remote
+export SLURM_SSH_HOST=cluster.example.org
+export SLURM_SSH_USER=researcher
+export SLURM_SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS=/etc/ari/cluster_known_hosts
+export SLURM_SSH_KEY=/run/secrets/ari_cluster_key
+export SLURM_SHARED_FILESYSTEM=true
+ari-skill-hpc
+```
+
+Typed output collection currently requires a shared filesystem visible at the
+same absolute paths on the MCP host and compute nodes. Set
+`SLURM_SHARED_FILESYSTEM=false` only for status/cancel/log use; a future artifact
+transport backend can extend this without changing the job contracts.
+
+## Containers
+
+Canonical callers put an `ArtifactPinV1` image in `request.container.image`,
+declare each bind as a typed source/target/mode tuple, and request GPU access in
+both the container and scheduler resource records. `--cleanenv`, `--containall`,
+and an explicit writable work-directory bind are generated by the adapter.
+`container.network: none` additionally emits an isolated container network;
+`host` remains the compatibility default and must not be used by offline
+scientific profiles such as OpenROAD.
+
+## Verification

-# ari-skill-hpc Requirements
-
-## Overview
-
-MCP Server for HPC environment operations (SLURM / Singularity).
-Provides tools for ARI agents to submit jobs, monitor status, and manage containers.
-
-## Design
-
-- **Deterministic**: All tools are pure functions with no LLM calls
-- **Partition validation**: Rejects invalid SLURM partitions
-- **Account stripping**: `--account` / `-A` headers silently ignored (cluster-specific; check your scheduler)
-- **Empty job_id guard**: Returns ERROR immediately for empty job IDs
-
-## Tech Stack
-
-- Python 3.11+
-- FastMCP
-- subprocess (SLURM CLI: sbatch, squeue, sacct)
-
-## Tool Specifications
-
-### slurm_submit(script: str, partition: str = "", account: str = "") -> dict
-Submits a SLURM batch script. Returns `{"job_id": "12345"}` on success.
-
-### job_status(job_id: str) -> dict
-Returns `{"status": "COMPLETED", "stdout": "..."}` when done.
-
-### run_bash(command: str) -> dict
-Executes a read-only bash command (e.g., `cat output.txt`).
-
-### singularity_run(image: str, command: str, gpu: bool = False) -> dict
-Runs a Singularity container. Adds `--nv` flag when `gpu=True`.
+# ari-skill-hpc requirements
+
+## Required behavior
+
+1. A submit operation accepts a strict `JobRequestV1`, returns `JobHandleV1`
+   after scheduler acceptance, and never waits for the compute job to finish.
+2. The request digest binds command argv, resource request, clean environment,
+   module list, container/image/binds, input pins, output declarations, and
+   scientific metadata.
+3. A durable claim is committed before the external submit. Identical committed
+   requests return the existing handle; uncertain claims fail closed rather
+   than submitting twice.
+4. Status, result, logs, and cancellation use one validated handle/SLURM-ID
+   parser and one provider-neutral state map.
+5. Terminal results revalidate every input and collect only declared regular,
+   non-symlink outputs within the workspace. Logs and provenance are bounded and
+   SHA-256 bound.
+6. Scheduler transport accepts argv and optional stdin, not shell command
+   strings. Batch content may execute a caller-authorized workload only after
+   allocation on the compute node.
+7. The generated job environment uses SLURM `NIL`, a fixed PATH and locale,
+   explicit non-secret variables, and explicit modules. Parent environment,
+   credential files, shell rc files, virtualenv paths, and Python path state are
+   not inherited.
+8. SSH mode requires a reviewed known-hosts file and explicit credential scope;
+   unknown/mismatched host keys, implicit user keys, and SSH agents are rejected.
+9. Container jobs verify image digest and size, declare every bind mode and GPU
+   request, and run with a clean contained environment.
+10. Local, remote, A64FX-like, GPU, no-SLURM, cancellation, timeout, input drift,
+    and shared-filesystem behavior must be covered by deterministic fixtures.
+
+## Removed compatibility paths
+
+- The container-specific aliases were removed after workflow/tool callers
+  reached zero and container parity fixtures passed. Archived callers must use
+  `container_submit`.
+- `slurm_submit` is retained only for the core agent's batch-script workflow.
+  Generated policy precedes the compute-node body, and programmatic consumers
+  use `job_submit`; the support policy records its owner and re-evaluation gate.
+- `run_bash`, parent-environment export, `.env` sourcing, automatic SSH host-key
+  acceptance, shell-based scheduler commands, and predictable remote temporary
+  scripts are prohibited and have no compatibility path.
+
+## Verification commands

 - `context_builder.py` — `build_verified_context` ranks ancestor claim memory by evidence strength (rerun_passed > grounded > ungrounded), folding in reproducibility status, and emits `usable_for_claims` for paper/figure pipeline hooks.
 - `provenance.py` — derives `ArtifactRef`s + sha256 from node_report (`refs_from_node_report`, `sha256_of`, `node_work_dir`, `load_node_report`); points at on-disk evidence without re-storing node_report fields.
 - `retriever.py` — typed reads over the backend: `search_research_memory` (kind/artifact-filtered semantic search), `ancestor_typed_memory` (deterministic ancestor handoff), `fold_reproducibility` (latest repro status per target).
-- `schemas.py` — thin typed-index dataclasses `ResearchMemory` / `ArtifactRef` with `MemoryKind`/`ReproStatus` vocab, validation, and `to_metadata()` (promotes `mem_kind`); points at node_report rather than copying it.
+- `schemas.py` — internal unverified `ArtifactRef` input helper; persisted records use public `MemoryRecordV1`.
 - `writer.py` — typed write helpers over `backend.add_memory`: `add_typed_memory` stamps `type`+`mem_kind`+provenance refs, with per-kind shims (`add_experiment_result`/`add_failure_case`/…) and append-only `add_reproducibility_event`.

 # ari-skill-orchestrator
 
-Exposes ARI itself as an MCP server so external agents, IDEs, and
-scripts can trigger ARI experiment runs.  Recursive ARI-inside-ARI
-launches are supported (with a depth cap).
-
-## Overview
-
-ARI can act both as a standalone CLI and as an MCP server embedded
-in other systems.  This skill is that bridge.  When invoked from
-inside a parent ARI run, it inherits the parent's checkpoint scope
-via `ARI_PARENT_RUN_ID` and refuses to spawn beyond
-`ARI_MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH`.
+Authenticated, durable MCP control plane for asynchronous ARI experiment runs.
+It exposes a fixed 12-tool surface over a SQLite run registry and verified,
+content-addressed artifacts.
+
+## Guarantees
+
+- `run_experiment` requires an idempotency key; a retry cannot start a second run.
+- Run state is an atomic state machine, not a checkpoint-directory guess.
+- Restart recovery verifies a digest-bound runner receipt plus PID start time.
+- Cancellation reaches the child process group and settles one terminal state.
+- Principal ownership is enforced for status, cancellation, and every artifact read.
+- Recursion, run count, node count, cost, CPU, and timeout quotas fail before launch.
+- Parent environment variables are allowlisted; model credentials cross only through
+  the declared `model.provider` scope and are never stored in request metadata.
+- Callers receive artifact SHA-256 references, never checkpoint paths.
+- Skill/workflow inspection reads only the run's verified `SKILLS.lock` and removes
+  entrypoints, environment declarations, credentials, and raw schemas.
 
 ## Tools
 
-| Tool | Description |
+| Tool | Purpose |
 |---|---|
-| `run_experiment` | Accept an experiment.md, launch `ari run` asynchronously, return `{run_id, checkpoint_dir, status}` |
-| `get_status` | Per-run progress, node count, best metric, elapsed seconds |
-| `list_runs` | Summary list of every known run |
-| `get_paper` | Generated LaTeX section / compiled PDF path for a run |
-
-## Files written under the checkpoint
+| `run_experiment` | Idempotently submit a bounded run |
+| `get_status`, `get_result`, `stop_experiment` | Poll, collect, or cancel its lifecycle |
+| `list_runs`, `list_children` | Read an owner-scoped run/lineage index |
+| `list_artifacts`, `read_artifact` | Resolve verified content by SHA-256 |
+| `get_paper`, `get_ear` | Return scoped publication/evidence references |
+| `list_skills`, `get_workflow` | Return sanitized immutable lock views |
 
-- `orchestrator_logs/<run_id>/ari.log` — per-child run log
-- `orchestrator_logs/<run_id>/launch_config.json` — exact env + args
-- `orchestrator_logs/<run_id>/run_meta.json` — run metadata
+`read_file`, `list_files`, a request-level API key, substring run lookup, checkpoint
+state inference, and the custom REST/SSE server were removed in v2.
 
-## Environment variables
+## Transports
 
-| Variable | Purpose | Default |
-|---|---|---|
-| `ARI_WORKSPACE` | Root directory for all runs | (none — required) |
-| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_PORT` | MCP server listen port | `9890` |
-| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_LOGS` | Per-run log directory | `$ARI_WORKSPACE/orchestrator_logs` |
-| `ARI_PARENT_RUN_ID` | Parent run id (auto-set during recursion) | (auto) |
-| `ARI_MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH` | Depth cap for ARI-inside-ARI | `3` |
+Stdio is the canonical local transport:
 
-## Recursion safety
-
-`run_experiment` invoked from inside ARI sets `ARI_PARENT_RUN_ID`
-on the child, and `ARI_MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH` is decremented as the
-chain grows.  When the depth would exceed the cap the call is
-rejected before any subprocess is spawned, preventing runaway
-recursion.
-
-## Use cases
+```bash
+python ari-skill-orchestrator/src/server.py
+```
 
-- **Claude Desktop**: trigger ARI experiments directly from chat.
-- **Multi-agent orchestration**: chain ARI with other research
-  agents.
-- **CI / CD integration**: automate experiment pipelines.
+The optional network surface is MCP Streamable HTTP, not a parallel REST API. It
+binds to loopback by default and refuses to start without a mode-0600 file of bearer
+token SHA-256 digests:
 
-## Test gap
+```bash
+ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_HTTP_TOKENS_FILE=/secure/token-digests.json \
+  python ari-skill-orchestrator/src/server.py --transport streamable-http
+```
 
-This skill currently has **no automated tests**.  A minimal smoke
-test (MCP handshake + mocked `ari run` subprocess) is the
-recommended next step.  Track this as part of the skill's future
-work — `docs/guides/testing.md` describes the pattern to follow.
+See [Orchestrator control plane](../docs/reference/orchestrator.md) for contracts,
+token-file format, quotas, recovery, artifact admission, and migration.
 
-## Development
+## Verification
 
 ```bash
-python -m ari_skill_orchestrator.server &
-curl -X POST http://localhost:9890/api/run -d '{...}'
+pytest -q ari-skill-orchestrator/tests
+python ari-skill-orchestrator/scripts/sync_contracts.py
+python scripts/check_skill_manifests.py
 ```

-# ari-skill-orchestrator/src
+# Orchestrator source layout
 
-MCP server package that exposes ARI itself as an MCP server, so external
-agents/IDEs/scripts can trigger ARI runs — including recursive ARI-inside-ARI
-launches (depth-capped). No `__init__.py`; `server.py` is the entry point.
+- `server.py` — fixed FastMCP tool surface and stdio/Streamable HTTP adapters.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/contracts.py` — immutable public v1 contracts.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/registry*.py` — SQLite idempotency, lineage, schema, and state authority.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/runtime.py` — validated deployment policy and hardened file/process helpers.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/execution.py` — wrapper launch, receipt validation, and attach-race handling.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/service.py` — compact transport-neutral lifecycle facade.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/migration.py` — explicit fail-closed pre-v2 checkpoint repair.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/views.py` — bounded progress and sanitized lock projections.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/runner.py` — process-group owner and atomic restart receipt.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/artifacts.py` — closed artifact admission and digest verification.
+- `ari_skill_orchestrator/auth.py` — local principal and MCP bearer-token adapter.

-  ari's HPC environment is typically network-restricted by default
-  (Slurm-managed firewalls / proxy whitelists), so retroactive revocation
-  is the cluster admin's job, not ours. PaperBench's paper §2.5 in any

+  explicitly attests that the host/allocation is already network isolated.

-    v0.7.2 extends the SLURM dispatch path with 15 + escape-hatch flags
-    covering multi-node placement, exclusivity, GPU type, memory, HW
-    constraint, and NUMA bindings. All new args default to ``0 / "" / False
-    / None`` so legacy single-node call sites continue to emit the original
-    4-flag sbatch invocation. When the rubric carries
-    ``reproduce_contract.execution_profile``, that hint dict auto-resolves
-    into any caller arg left at its default — explicit caller args always
-    win over rubric hints.
-
-    Args:
-        rubric_path: path to the frozen rubric JSON envelope (provides
-            ``reproduce_contract.max_runtime_sec``,
-            ``reproduce_contract.expected_artifacts``, and the optional
-            ``reproduce_contract.execution_profile``).
-        repo_dir: candidate submission directory (must contain ``reproduce.sh``).
-        sandbox_kind: ``docker`` | ``apptainer`` | ``singularity`` | ``slurm``
-            | ``local`` | ``auto``. Default reads ``ARI_PHASE1_SANDBOX``
-            (then ``auto``). ``auto`` priority: slurm (when sbatch + partition
-            present) → docker (when daemon usable and not on HPC) → apptainer
-            → singularity → local.
-        timeout_global_sec: 0 → use the rubric's ``max_runtime_sec``.
-        partition: SLURM ``--partition``. Defaults to ``ARI_SLURM_PARTITION``
-            env then to ``{checkpoint_dir}/launch_config.json::partition``.
-        cpus: SLURM ``--cpus-per-task``. Defaults to ``ARI_SLURM_CPUS=8``.
-        walltime: SLURM ``--time`` (HH:MM:SS). Defaults to
-            ``ARI_SLURM_WALLTIME`` then to a value derived from
-            ``timeout_global_sec``.
-        nodes / ntasks / ntasks_per_node: ``--nodes`` / ``--ntasks`` /
-            ``--ntasks-per-node``. 0 = leave to SLURM.
-        nodelist / exclude_nodes: ``--nodelist=...`` / ``--exclude=...``.
-        exclusive: ``--exclusive`` (no other jobs share the allocated
-            nodes — essential for faithful performance reproduction).
-        gpus_per_task / gpus_per_node: ``--gpus-per-task=N`` /
-            ``--gpus-per-node=N``.
-        gpu_type: combined with ``gpus_per_task`` (or ``_per_node``) → emits
-            ``--gres=gpu:<type>:N``. Auto-downgraded to no-gres when the
-            cluster reports no GRES via ``sinfo``.
-        memory_gb_per_node / memory_gb_per_cpu: ``--mem=NG`` /
-            ``--mem-per-cpu=NG``.
-        constraint: ``--constraint=...`` (e.g. ``"skylake"``,
-            ``"haswell|broadwell"``).
-        cpu_bind / mem_bind / hint: ``--cpu-bind=...`` / ``--mem-bind=...``
-            / ``--hint=...`` for NUMA & CPU affinity control.
-        extra_sbatch_args: list of pass-through flags for anything not above
-            (e.g. ``["--account=projX"]``).
-
-    Returns the executed flag, exit code, log path, produced artifact list,
-    missing expected artifacts, elapsed time, and (when SLURM-dispatched)
-    a snapshot of the chosen partition / nodes / ntasks / gpu spec.
+    The source tree is snapshotted read-only and execution happens in a private
+    attempt tree. Network access is denied by default; an unisolated substrate
+    must be explicitly admitted with ``network_policy=inherit``. Successful
+    identical plans are replayed idempotently and failed plans gain a linked
+    retry attempt.

 # ari-skill-paper
 
-MCP skill for **AI Scientist v2-style iterative paper generation**.
-
-## Design
-
-Implements `write_paper_iterative`: it fills the whole venue template in a single LLM call, then runs `max_revision_rounds` whole-document reflection rounds (compile + fix).  
-Accepts figures from `generate_figures` stage and embeds them with `\includegraphics`.
-
-## LLM Exception
-
-This skill calls an LLM (P2 exception). Requires Ollama running on the same node.
-
-## Tool
-
-### `write_paper_iterative`
-
-Writes a full LaTeX paper from experiment results.
-
-**Key inputs:**
-- `experiment_summary` — BFTS experiment context (must contain `<!-- metric_keyword: X -->` comment)
-- `refs_json` — JSON string from `related_refs.json`
-- `figures_manifest_json` — JSON string from `figures_manifest.json`
-- `nodes_json_path` — path to `nodes_tree.json`
-- `venue` — `arxiv` / `neurips` / `icml`
-- `max_revision_rounds` — whole-document reflection rounds (default: 2)
-
-**Section layout:**  
-The section layout is defined by the venue template (`FILL_*_START`/`FILL_*_END` blocks) and filled in one pass; there is no per-section generation order.
-
-**Figure embedding:**  
-Figures from `figures_manifest_json` are injected into the template context. The LLM embeds them with `\includegraphics[width=0.85\linewidth]{path}`.
-
-**Output:** `full_paper.tex` + `refs.bib`
-
-## Experiment Summary Format
-
-To enable dynamic metric keyword extraction, include an HTML comment:
-
-```
-<!-- metric_keyword: MFLOPS -->
-<!-- min_expected_metric: 50000 -->
-```
-
-Without these, the skill falls back to generic terms.
-
-## Design Principles in Prompts
-
-All prompts include the **reproducibility principle**:  
-> "Describe the experimental environment using reproducible technical specifications (e.g. processor architecture, core count, compiler version) rather than deployment-specific identifiers."
-
-This prevents cluster names, organization names, and job IDs from appearing in the paper.
-
-## BibTeX
-
-`_build_bib_content` uses the authoritative Semantic Scholar BibTeX when a
-reference carries `bibtex` + `cite_key`; otherwise it synthesizes an
-`@article` entry from the metadata:
-
-```bibtex
-@article{key2024,
-  author = {...},
-  title  = {...},
-  year   = {2024},
-  note   = {...}
-}
-```
-
-## All MCP tools
+Evidence-grounded whole-document paper generation for ARI. The supported path
+consumes native `ScienceDataV1`, `FigureBatchV1`, a recorded retrieval snapshot,
+and an EAR manifest through one closed checkpoint workspace. It writes LaTeX and
+BibTeX, performs bounded review/refinement, recompiles with the common execution
+contract, and locks the result as `PaperBuildV1`.
+
+## Scientific boundary
+
+- Numeric result prose is linked to `% CLAIM:Cx:NCx` anchors and independently
+  checked by the evaluator hard gate.
+- Figure values, units, paths, captions, and labels come from the immutable
+  `FigureBatchV1`; the writer cannot replace them with model-generated values.
+- Literature is accepted only from a verified `SurveySnapshotV1` reference.
+- Every authoring/refinement call stores the exact prompt, raw response,
+  model/revision/provider, sampling, token counts, and reported cost.
+- Text, visual, semantic, and hard-gate reviews remain independent fields.
+- Finalization recomputes claim links from the exact final TeX and verifies all
+  input/review/artifact digests before declaring the build finalized.
+
+The complete contract and migration policy are documented in
+[`docs/reference/paper_build_contract.md`](../docs/reference/paper_build_contract.md).
+
+## Primary inputs
+
+`write_paper_iterative` requires:
+
+- `workspace_root`
+- `science_data_path` (`ScienceDataV1`)
+- `figures_manifest_path` (`FigureBatchV1`)
+- `references_path` (`ari.retrieval-result/v1` with `snapshot_ref`)
+- `ear_manifest_path` (must contain `evidence_index_digest`)
+- `rubric_id` (explicit; no environment/default fallback)
+- `venue`
+
+`verified_context_path` is optional. Paths must remain inside `workspace_root`.
+The output includes `full_paper.tex`, `refs.bib`, immutable authoring artifacts,
+and `.ari-paper/paper_build.draft.json`.
+
+## MCP tools
 
 | Tool | Purpose |
 |---|---|
-| `list_venues` | Available LaTeX venues (`acm` / `neurips` / `sc` / `icpp` / `isc` / `arxiv`) |
-| `get_template` | Fetch the LaTeX template for a venue |
-| `generate_section` | LLM writes one section |
-| `compile_paper` | `pdflatex` compile |
-| `check_format` | LaTeX format validation |
-| `review_section` | LLM rubric review of one section |
-| `revise_section` | LLM rewrite from review feedback |
-| `write_paper_iterative` | One-pass template fill + whole-document reflection rounds |
-| `link_paper_claims` | Build `paper_claim_links.json` (anchors / writer_assertions / numeric_mentions consumed by the claim hard gate) |
-| `paper_refine` | Anchor-preserving revision pass with math-safe underscore escaping |
-| `review_compiled_paper` | Final-pass review on the compiled PDF (delegates VLM-side checks to `ari-skill-vlm`) |
-| `list_rubrics` | Reviewer rubric catalogue |
-| `inject_code_availability` | v0.7.0 — append the `\codedigest{...}` block |
-| `merge_reviews` | v0.7.0 — combine rubric review + VLM review |
-
-## Venue templates
-
-`templates/` ships one subdirectory per venue, each holding `main.tex` +
-`refs.bib`. `get_template(venue)` reads `templates/<venue>/`:
-
-- `acm/`
-- `arxiv/`
-- `icpp/`
-- `isc/`
-- `neurips/`
-- `sc/`
-
-## Rubric system (v0.6+)
-
-Reviewer rubrics are YAML files under `ARI_RUBRIC_DIR` (defaults to
-`ari-core/config/reviewer_rubrics/`).  `ARI_RUBRIC` selects the
-active rubric; the same file drives both BFTS scoring and the
-published paper review (see
-`docs/concepts/architecture.md#plan--venue-contract-v070`).
-
-`ARI_STRICT_DYNAMIC=true` forces dynamic-axis generation even when
-the rubric defines fixed axes.
-
-## Environment variables
-
-| Variable | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `ARI_RUBRIC_DIR` | Rubric YAML directory |
-| `ARI_RUBRIC` | Active rubric id |
-| `ARI_STRICT_DYNAMIC` | Force dynamic-axis generation |
-| `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR` | Where the few-shot cache (`.ari_fewshot_cache`) lives |
-| `ARI_LLM_MODEL` | Paper-generation LLM |
-
-## settings.json fields
-
-The skill consumes a `paper:` section from the per-checkpoint
-`settings.json` (rubric override, venue default, ensemble size).
-See `docs/reference/configuration.md` for the canonical schema.
+| `list_venues` | List bundled venue templates |
+| `get_template` | Read one venue template |
+| `compile_paper` | Compile through fixed `pdflatex`/`bibtex` argv and bounded execution |
+| `check_format` | Check PDF format constraints |
+| `write_paper_iterative` | Native-evidence whole-document authoring and reflection |
+| `review_compiled_paper` | Explicit-rubric independent text review with raw-response artifact |
+| `link_paper_claims` | Deterministically bind anchors/numeric mentions to evidence |
+| `paper_refine` | Anchor-preserving bounded find/replace refinement |
+| `list_rubrics` | List versioned rubric contracts |
+| `inject_code_availability` | Deterministically bind the published EAR/code digest |
+| `merge_reviews` | Preserve and route independent/evidence-grounded reviews |
+| `finalize_paper_build` | Fail-closed final artifact/review/gate lock |
+
+The old per-section `generate_section`, `review_section`, and `revise_section`
+runtime tools were removed in v0.3.0. Migrate to `write_paper_iterative` and
+`review_compiled_paper`.
+
+## Rubrics
+
+`rubric_id` is mandatory for authoring and review. `ARI_RUBRIC_DIR` may point to
+an alternate rubric directory, but runtime selection never reads `ARI_RUBRIC`
+and never guesses `neurips`. Existing launch documents can be converted with
+`src.rubric_migration.migrate_legacy_rubric_selection`, which emits a migration
+ledger containing the selected rubric version and digest.
+
+## Compilation
+
+The compiler accepts only root-level `.tex`, canonical `refs.bib`, and graphics
+declared by `FigureBatchV1`. Shell escape, TeX file I/O, undeclared includes, and
+caller-selected binaries are rejected. Complete stdout/stderr logs and execution
+identities are retained for every pass; timeouts use the common process-group
+cleanup contract.
 
 ## Tests
 
 ```bash
-pytest tests/test_server.py -q             # MCP API
-pytest tests/test_rubric.py -q             # rubric evaluation
-pytest tests/test_code_availability.py -q  # \codedigest injection
+PYTHONPATH=../ari-core pytest -q tests
+ruff check src tests
 ```
-
-## P2 exception
-
-The skill calls an LLM heavily, so output is non-deterministic.
-Combine with rubric-driven review + ensemble voting to dampen
-variance.
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-pip install -e .

-# ari-skill-paper Requirements
+# ari-skill-paper requirements
 
-## Overview
+## Runtime contract
 
-MCP Server for LaTeX paper writing assistance.
-Manages academic templates, section generation, and format review.
+The paper Skill runs only in the post-BFTS paper phase. New authoring runs must
+use native `ScienceDataV1`, `FigureBatchV1`, recorded retrieval, and EAR inputs
+inside an explicit `WorkspaceRefV1`. Generic tree/metric discovery and inline
+legacy JSON coercion are not authoring paths.
 
-## Design
+`PaperBuildV1` is the authoritative output. It binds:
 
-- Called only in the post-BFTS pipeline (not inside the BFTS search loop)
-- `generate_section` searches `nodes_tree.json` for relevant evidence (keyword-based)
-- Default venue: arXiv (no page limit). Conference venues enforce their constraints.
-- `<think>` tags from LLM output are stripped automatically.
+- input, template, rubric, and EAR artifact digests;
+- ordered revision lineage and preserved claim/citation/figure/math identities;
+- each stochastic call's prompt/raw response/model/sampling/usage;
+- bounded compile commands, execution identities, environment, and full logs;
+- independent text, visual, semantic, and hard-gate review artifacts;
+- final claim coverage and TeX/BibTeX/PDF digests.
 
-## Tech Stack
+Finalization is fail closed. A disabled/failed gate, uncovered result number,
+unresolved anchor, review/evidence mismatch, changed input, VLM failure, compile
+failure, or final artifact mismatch produces a persisted blocked build and never
+a finalized status.
 
-- Python 3.11+
-- FastMCP
-- litellm (LLM calls for generation and review)
+## Claim protocol
 
-## Tool Specifications
+Result statements use `% CLAIM:Cx:NCx` or a writer declaration with an admitted
+formula and exact operands. `link_paper_claims` emits
+`ari.paper-claim-links/v1`, including a final-TeX digest and a digest of the
+complete link document. The finalizer recomputes this document rather than
+trusting it.
 
-### generate_section(section: str, goal: str, artifacts: str, venue: str = "arxiv", nodes_json_path: str = "") -> dict
-Generates a LaTeX section. Enriches context with up to 8 matching nodes from the tree.
+The canonical lexical parser lives in `ari.public.latex_claims`; paper-specific
+ScienceData/figure binding remains in `src.claim_links`.
 
-### review_section(section_tex: str, venue: str = "arxiv") -> dict
-Reviews the generated section for clarity, correctness, and venue compliance.
+## Review protocol
 
-## Story2Proposal integration (Research Contract)
+The text reviewer receives paper text only. VLM reviews receive the exact
+FigureBatch artifacts. Semantic review and the deterministic hard gate are
+separate evidence-grounded results. `merge_reviews` never mutates those inputs
+or collapses them into one score.
 
-### write_paper_iterative — claims registry + anchors + forward declaration (Phase A2 / (c))
-When `science_data.json` carries `claims[]`, the writer prompt is enriched with a
-"RESEARCH CONTRACT — CANDIDATE CLAIMS" block and instructed (system rule 10) to
-emit a LaTeX comment anchor `% CLAIM:Cx:NCx` immediately before any sentence
-stating a numeric result that corresponds to a candidate claim. Non-result
-numbers (years, figure/table indices, settings) are not anchored.
+## Supported migration
 
-**Forward declaration (Story2Proposal (c)).** For result numbers that are NOT a
-pre-generated candidate claim, the writer is also given a "FORWARD-DECLARATION —
-CONFIG HANDLES" block (`cfgN` + each config's metric_keys, from
-`science_data._config_nodes`) and instructed to DECLARE the derivation inline:
-`% CLAIM:Cw:NCw metric=<key> formula=<formula> <operands>` where operands are
-`value=cfgN` (identity), `baseline=cfgN proposed=cfgM` (same-metric comparison),
-or `baseline=cfgN:metricA proposed=cfgN:metricB` (cross-metric ratio, e.g.
-measured/ceiling attainment via `ratio_percent`). The hard gate re-derives every
-declared number from the executed data (forward, no reverse search), so a wrong
-declaration is caught as `numeric_mismatch` — the writer cannot launder a number.
+- Legacy rubric environment/default selection: offline
+  `migrate_legacy_rubric_selection` only.
+- Published pre-batch refinement call: read-only finalizer reader.
+- Legacy per-section tools: removed; use whole-document authoring/review.
+- Legacy claim/generic metric producer: not accepted by new authoring runs.
 
-### link_paper_claims(tex_path, science_data_json, figures_manifest_json) -> dict (Phase A2)
-Deterministic post-processor (no LLM). Produces `paper_claim_links` (anchor-keyed:
-`claim_id/numeric_id/section/span_hash/line_range/figures/resolved`),
-`numeric_mentions` (classified: result_claim / experimental_setting /
-citation_year / figure_table_ref / ambiguous), `writer_assertions` (the writer's
-inline forward declarations parsed into verifiable assertions: `id/claim_id/
-metric/formula/operands(node_id,metric_path)/line`, with `unresolved_config_refs`
-when a `cfgN` is unknown), `figure_refs` (late-bound figure ids),
-`unresolved_anchors`, `uncovered_numeric_candidates`. An anchor is `resolved` if it
-references a pre-generated assertion OR carries a valid inline declaration. The
-**anchor** is the stable key; `span_hash` detects sentence change; `line_range` is
-auxiliary (a `% CLAIM` comment line binds to the following prose line, not itself).
-**`science_data.json` is never mutated** (figure binding recorded here). Run after
-write_paper (draft) and after paper_refine (final). Degrades to a valid empty
-result on failure (never error-only) to protect the finalize chain. Pure logic in
-`src/claim_links.py`.
-
-### paper_refine(tex_path, merged_review_path, semantic_review_path) -> dict (Phase E)
-S2P refiner role (eq. 5 `(M',C)=A_ref({D_i},C)`): **global coherence** over the
-whole manuscript (cross-section consistency, redundancy compression, terminology
-harmonization, visual reconciliation) + the merged `suggested_revisions`. It is a
-**bounded** task, NOT a full rewrite — so the model sees the whole paper (global
-context) but returns **targeted diff edits** (`[{"find": <verbatim unique span>,
-"replace": <revised span>}]`), not a regenerated document. Edits are applied
-**deterministically and safely**: only a `find` that occurs **exactly once** is
-applied (ambiguous/absent → skipped, never guessed), and only if every `% CLAIM`
-anchor inside the span survives in `replace` (anchor-dropping edits skipped). On
-zero safe edits or anchor loss it reverts to the draft (`refined=False`). No-op
-when there are no revisions. Overwrites `full_paper.tex` (draft saved as
-`full_paper.draft.tex`). **Why diff, not full rewrite:** regenerating the entire
-LaTeX in one call (the previous design, `max_tokens=16384`, "complete revised
-document") is slow via the CLI shim and, with the retry layers, timed out and
-skipped finalize; bounding output to the changed spans fixes this while keeping
-the refiner's global role (the per-section localized edits are the writer's job in
-S2P). PDF recompilation is a documented follow-up (the `.tex` is the living
-artifact the hard gate and finalize consume).
-
-### merge_reviews — independent vs evidence-grounded split (Phase E)
-Splits into `independent_reviews` (review_paper + vlm_review_figures, unchanged —
-reviewer independence preserved) and `evidence_grounded_reviews`
-(claim_evidence_hard_gate + evidence_grounded_semantic_review), and emits a
-unified `suggested_revisions` list for `paper_refine`. Structural only (no LLM).
-
-### review_compiled_paper — UNCHANGED
-The independent text reviewer is not modified; it still evaluates paper text only.
-
-## Status
-
-Story2Proposal Phase A2 + E code + unit tests complete
-(`tests/test_claim_links.py`). Real compute-node validation pending; see
-`PLAN_s2p_claim_annotation.md` and `../ari-core/PLAN_s2p_merge_refine.md`.
+See `docs/reference/paper_build_contract.md` for schemas, operations, and the
+deletion/rollback record.

 # ari-skill-paper/src
 
-MCP server package for the paper skill — AI Scientist v2-style iterative
-LaTeX paper generation (generate → review → revise per section), plus a
-rubric-driven peer-review engine. `__init__.py` is empty; the package is
-imported as `src`.
-
-## Contents
-
-- `README.md` — this file.
-- `__init__.py` — empty package marker.
-- `claim_links.py` — deterministic claim-id post-processing (Story2Proposal Phase A2): reconciles `% CLAIM:Cx:NCx` anchors against science_data claims, classifies numeric mentions, late-binds figures → `paper_claim_links`.
-- `review_engine.py` — rubric-driven review pipeline (score dimensions, reflection loop, few-shot).
-- `rubric.py` — venue-agnostic YAML rubric loader/validator (sha256 for P2 determinism).
-- `server.py` — MCP entry point: `write_paper_iterative` (now injects the claims registry + `% CLAIM` anchor instruction), `link_paper_claims`, `paper_refine` (anchor-preserving), `merge_reviews` (independent vs evidence-grounded split), `review_compiled_paper`, …
-- `prompts/` — Externalized system-prompt templates for the paper-generation and peer-review tools, loaded byte-identically by `_load_prompt` in `server.py`.
-  - `README.md` — prompts index.
-  - `academic_reviewer.md` — `review_section` tool system prompt: single-section LaTeX peer review returning JSON (`overall` / `strengths` / `weaknesses` / `suggestions` / `accept_recommendation`) with a reproducibility criterion; the one `str.format` template (`{venue_upper}`).
-  - `figure_inserter.md` — `write_paper_iterative` figure-injection pass: terse system prompt instructing a LaTeX expert to insert figures inline.
-  - `fill_in_writer.md` — `write_paper_iterative` fill-in pass: the rules block appended to the writer system prompt that replaces each `FILL_*_START … FILL_*_END` placeholder with real LaTeX; carries the research-contract `% CLAIM` forward-declaration protocol.
-  - `global_coherence.md` — `paper_refine` tool system prompt: the S2P global-coherence refiner that returns TARGETED find/replace JSON edits over the whole manuscript (never a full rewrite), preserving every `% CLAIM` anchor.
-  - `paper_writer.md` — `write_paper_iterative` compile + reflection loop: system prompt to fix LaTeX/quality issues flagged by reflection without hallucinating results, hardware, or citations, returning the entire corrected document.
-
-## See also
-
-- The skill root `README.md` and the `server.py` module docstring for the tools & outward interface.
+- `server.py` — narrow MCP transport and workflow-facing composition.
+- `authoring.py` — native evidence loading, prompt/raw artifacts, revisions, and draft builds.
+- `compiler.py` — fixed-command, shell-free, resource-bounded LaTeX compilation.
+- `claim_links.py` — ScienceData/FigureBatch binding over `ari.public.latex_claims`.
+- `review_engine.py` — explicit-rubric independent text review.
+- `finalize.py` — fail-closed recomputation and `PaperBuildV1` final lock.
+- `rubric.py` — versioned rubric loader.
+- `rubric_migration.py` — offline conversion of old env/default rubric selection.
+- `prompts/` — supported whole-document and claim-declaration prompt templates.
+
+Per-section author/reviewer APIs and the model-based figure inserter are not
+runtime components.

-"""Claim-id post-processing for the Research Contract (Story2Proposal Phase A2).
+"""Reconcile canonical LaTeX claim anchors with ``ScienceDataV1`` evidence.
 
-After ``write_paper_iterative`` emits LaTeX with ``% CLAIM:Cx:NCx`` anchors, this
-module deterministically reconciles those anchors against the
-``science_data.json`` claim registry and produces ``paper_claim_links.json``:
-
-  - ``paper_claim_links`` — anchor-keyed records (claim_id / numeric_id /
-    section / span_hash / line_range / figures). The **anchor** is the stable
-    key that survives refine/render; ``span_hash`` detects sentence changes;
-    ``line_range`` is auxiliary.
-  - ``numeric_mentions`` — every numeric token in the paper, classified
-    (result_claim / experimental_setting / citation_year / figure_table_ref /
-    ambiguous) with section attribution and a ``requires_assertion`` flag.
-  - ``figure_refs`` — figure ids (from figures_manifest) actually referenced in
-    the paper; figure binding is recorded **here**, the transform-stage
-    ``science_data.json`` is never mutated (idempotency / reproducibility).
-  - ``unresolved_anchors`` / ``uncovered_numeric_candidates`` — diagnostics the
-    hard gate consumes.
-
-Pure functions over strings/dicts — no LLM, no disk, no ari-core dependency, so
-this is unit-testable standalone. The hard gate (ari-core) may consume the
-``numeric_mentions`` here, but re-derives coverage authoritatively itself.
+Lexical LaTeX parsing is owned by :mod:`ari.public.latex_claims`; this module
+only performs paper-specific claim-registry and figure-manifest binding.

-Externalized system-prompt templates for the paper-generation and peer-review tools, loaded byte-identically by `_load_prompt` in `server.py`.
+Supported whole-document prompts, loaded byte-identically by `_load_prompt`:
 
-Most templates are loaded RAW because they embed literal LaTeX/JSON braces; `academic_reviewer` is the one `str.format` template (single `{venue_upper}` placeholder). `_load_prompt_versioned` also exposes a `sha256[:12]` of each on-disk body for prompt provenance (P2 determinism — a package-relative file read, no LLM, no network).
+- `fill_in_writer.md` — fills the venue scaffold and emits claim declarations.
+- `paper_writer.md` — bounded whole-document reflection.
+- `global_coherence.md` — anchor-preserving targeted refinement edits.
+- `forward_declaration.md` — deterministic claim/formula declaration guidance
+  appended to verified experiment context.
 
-## Contents
-
-- `README.md` — this file.
-- `academic_reviewer.md` — `review_section` tool system prompt: single-section LaTeX peer review returning JSON (`overall` / `strengths` / `weaknesses` / `suggestions` / `accept_recommendation`) with a reproducibility criterion; the one `str.format` template (`{venue_upper}`).
-- `figure_inserter.md` — `write_paper_iterative` figure-injection pass: terse system prompt instructing a LaTeX expert to insert figures inline.
-- `fill_in_writer.md` — `write_paper_iterative` fill-in pass: the rules block appended to the writer system prompt that replaces each `FILL_*_START … FILL_*_END` placeholder with real LaTeX; carries the research-contract `% CLAIM` forward-declaration protocol.
-- `global_coherence.md` — `paper_refine` tool system prompt: the S2P global-coherence refiner that returns TARGETED find/replace JSON edits over the whole manuscript (never a full rewrite), preserving every `% CLAIM` anchor.
-- `paper_writer.md` — `write_paper_iterative` compile + reflection loop: system prompt to fix LaTeX/quality issues flagged by reflection without hallucinating results, hardware, or citations, returning the entire corrected document.
+The removed per-section reviewer and model figure-inserter prompts are not
+retained as runtime fallbacks.

+FORWARD-DECLARATION — CONFIG HANDLES (metric_key=recorded_value). For EVERY numeric RESULT you state in the paper, DECLARE its derivation on the LaTeX comment line immediately before the sentence:
+  % CLAIM:Cx:NCx metric=<metric_key> formula=<formula> <operands>
+COMPLETE example (an absolute value reported as-is): `% CLAIM:C3:NC3 metric=GB_per_s formula=identity value=cfg1`. formula MUST be one of the allowed names below, exactly as spelled (never invent e.g. formula=value); operands are bare k=v tokens with NO label prefix.
+operands: `value=cfgN` (formula=identity, an absolute value); or `baseline=cfgN proposed=cfgM` (a comparison of the SAME metric across configs); or `baseline=cfgN:metricA proposed=cfgN:metricB` (a ratio of TWO metrics of one config). Allowed formulas (EXACT meaning — pick the one whose result equals your number): identity=value; relative_gain=proposed/baseline (a higher-is-better value reported as N times a smaller baseline: baseline=cfg:<baseline> proposed=cfg:<better>); relative_speedup=baseline/proposed (a lower-is-better value, the baseline being N times the proposed); relative_increase_percent=(proposed-baseline)/baseline*100; relative_reduction_percent=(baseline-proposed)/baseline*100; relative_improvement_percent=(baseline-proposed)/baseline*100; absolute_difference=proposed-baseline; ratio_percent=proposed/baseline*100. Use EXACT metric_key + cfg id from the table. CRITICAL: the gate RE-COMPUTES your declaration from the recorded values below, so the metric_key(s) you pick MUST be the one(s) whose recorded value equals the number you write. If no metric_key matches a number, do NOT state that number. Declare EVERY result number you write — not only the headline, but also baseline/reference values you cite for comparison and secondary metrics — leaving none ungrounded (a number repeated in the abstract/conclusion that you already declared in the body needs no second anchor). Do not compare across different execution environments unless the study is explicitly cross-architecture. Configs (each lists metric_key=value):

 # ari-skill-plot
 
-Scientific figure generation MCP skill — produces PNG / PDF figures
-either deterministically from a fixed schema or by letting an LLM
-write matplotlib code from data shape and a natural-language intent.
+Source-bound scientific figure planning and deterministic rendering. Every
+native result is an `ari.figure-manifest/v1` or `ari.figure-batch/v1` document
+that binds the exact ScienceData slice, units, declarative specification,
+renderer environment, revision lineage, and PNG/PDF bytes.
 
 ## MCP tools
 
-### `generate_figures` (deterministic, P2-safe)
-
-Take a list of BFTS nodes, render canonical comparison figures
-(metric-vs-config, metric-vs-time, learning curves, etc.), and write
-them into a target directory together with a manifest.
-
-Arguments (key fields):
-
-| Field | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `nodes_json_path` | Path to `nodes_tree.json` (or compatible list) |
-| `output_dir` | Where PNG / PDF files are written |
-| `figure_spec` | What to plot (axes, group-by, fill/aggregation) |
-
-Returns a JSON manifest enumerating every emitted figure with its
-caption and source node ids.
-
-### `generate_figures_llm` (P2 exception)
-
-LLM examines the data shape and intent, writes matplotlib code, and
-the skill executes it under the same `_run_plot_code` sandbox used by
-the deterministic path.  Optional VLM caption pass after rendering.
-
-Arguments (key fields):
-
-| Field | Meaning |
+- `render_figure(request)` validates a canonical `FigureSpecV1` and renders it
+  through the fixed matplotlib implementation.
+- `generate_figures(science_data_path, output_dir, n_figures=3)` chooses stable
+  default specs from claim-eligible typed measurements. It has no model call.
+- `generate_figures_llm(...)` lets a model choose only an admitted metric ID,
+  fixed chart type, and x-axis mode. The model cannot emit values, units,
+  captions, paths, Python, SVG, or image bytes.
+
+All input and output paths must remain below `output_dir`, which is treated as a
+closed `WorkspaceRefV1`. Native generation rejects pre-v1 ScienceData. The
+unversioned figure map is available only through the offline
+`read_legacy_figure_batch` reader and is never admitted as native evidence.
+
+## Scientific and security properties
+
+- Numeric vectors and units come only from claim-eligible `ScienceDataV1`
+  measurement records.
+- Axis units are mandatory and bound by `spec_digest`.
+- The renderer executes no caller or model code and launches no subprocess.
+- The old directory-scan fallback, implicit VLM caption call, generated Python,
+  SVG rasterizer, and private `_run_plot_code` sandbox were removed in v0.2.
+- Each revision is written under `figures/revisions/NN/`; a review must bind the
+  exact parent manifest and the configured two-iteration cap is enforced.
+- Replay identity includes Python, matplotlib, backend, font bytes, platform,
+  and optional container digest. Byte identity is claimed only inside the same
+  environment digest.
+
+The planner prompt is stored in `src/prompts/figure_planner.md`. Raw planner
+response and exact prompt bytes are content-addressed artifacts. Visual quality
+and captions belong to the explicit `ari-skill-vlm` review stage.
+
+## Environment
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
 |---|---|
-| `nodes_json_path` | Source data |
-| `intent` | Natural-language description of what to visualise |
-| `output_dir` | Output directory |
-
-Returns the same manifest format plus the generated matplotlib code
-for audit.
+| `ARI_MODEL_PLOT` | Preferred declarative planner model |
+| `ARI_MODEL_PLOT_REVISION` | Provider/model revision recorded in the manifest |
+| `ARI_LLM_MODEL` / `LLM_MODEL` | Cross-skill model fallback |
+| `ARI_LLM_API_BASE` / `LLM_API_BASE` | Optional LiteLLM endpoint |
+| `ARI_CONTAINER_DIGEST` | Optional immutable rendering environment identity |
 
-## Determinism
-
-`generate_figures` is byte-deterministic for a given matplotlib
-version — same nodes in, same PNG out.  `generate_figures_llm` is a
-P2 exception: the matplotlib code is LLM-generated and may differ
-from run to run.  Always prefer the deterministic tool when the
-figure shape is known up front.
-
-## Environment variables
-
-| Variable | Purpose | Default |
-|---|---|---|
-| `VLM_MODEL` | Vision LLM for caption generation (optional pass after rendering) | `openai/gpt-4o` |
-| `ARI_LLM_MODEL` | LLM that writes the matplotlib code in `_llm` mode | (none — required for `_llm`) |
-| `LLM_MODEL` | Cross-skill fallback when `ARI_LLM_MODEL` is unset | (none) |
-| `ARI_LLM_API_BASE` | LiteLLM API base override | LiteLLM default |
-| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Needed when the VLM or LLM is OpenAI-hosted | (none) |
-
-## ari-core boundary
-
-`src/server.py` imports `from ari import cost_tracker` to send LLM
-spend back to the central tracker.  Phase 4 of the master refactor
-moves this to `ari.public.cost_tracker`; see
-`ari-skill-plot/REFACTORING.md`.
-
-## Test gap
-
-No tests are checked in yet.  A smoke test that mocks the LLM and
-calls `generate_figures` against a fixture `nodes_tree.json` is the
-recommended starting point.
-
-## Development
+## Verification
 
 ```bash
-python -m ari_skill_plot.server
+PYTHONPATH=../ari-core pytest -q tests
 ```
 
-There are no automated tests yet — see "Test gap" above.

-# ari-skill-plot/src
+# ari-skill-plot runtime
 
-MCP server package for the plot skill — scientific figure generation, either
-deterministically from a fixed schema (`generate_figures`, P2-safe) or by
-letting an LLM write matplotlib code (`generate_figures_llm`). No `__init__.py`;
-`server.py` is the entry point.
+- `server.py` — three MCP adapters and closed workspace validation.
+- `planning.py` — native ScienceData loading, admitted metric/unit extraction,
+  strict model-plan parsing, and feedback binding.
+- `renderer.py` — fixed six-chart matplotlib renderer and artifact materializer.
+- `prompts/figure_planner.md` — externalized spec-only planner instruction.
 
-## Contents
-
-- `README.md` — this file.
-- `server.py` — the only module; an independent MCP server with no dependency on the paper skill.
-
-## See also
-
-- The skill root `README.md` and the `server.py` module docstring for the tools & outward interface.
+There is no generated-code, SVG, subprocess, filesystem-scan, or implicit VLM
+execution path in the runtime.

 ## Tools
 
-- `generate_rubric(paper_path, paper_text, output_path, target_leaf_count=0, model="", temperature=0.0, seed=0, two_stage=True)` — produces a PaperBench-compatible rubric (`replication_rubric.schema.json`) from a paper's LaTeX/text. Auto-computes target leaf count from paper length when `target_leaf_count=0`. With `two_stage=True` (default) generates a skeleton then populates each subtree in parallel; produces ~4× more leaves and 1–2 levels more depth than a single LLM call.
-- `audit_rubric(rubric_path, paper_path, paper_text, auditor_model)` — flags `vague_qualifier`, `no_paper_evidence`, `duplicate`, and `unverifiable` leaves; recommends regeneration when >20% of leaves are flagged.
+- `generate_rubric(..., max_model_calls=64, subtree_concurrency=4, provider="", model_revision="")` — produces a strict `ari.replication-rubric/v2` envelope using the calibrated hierarchical strategy. Every model prompt/response, repair, dropped node, exact paper span, model identity, and call budget is recorded beside the output under `.ari-rubric/`.
+- `audit_rubric(..., output_path="", max_model_calls=400)` — verifies the frozen rubric and its referenced artifacts, then writes a separate digest-bound `ari.replication-rubric-audit/v2` report. It never mutates the rubric. The report flags `vague_qualifier`, `no_paper_evidence`, `duplicate`, and `unverifiable` leaves and reports whether the reviewer model is actually independent.
 - `suggest_target_leaf_count(paper_path, paper_text)` — returns the auto-computed target leaf count (~1 leaf / 75 words, bounded to [50, 400]) and word count for the paper.
 
-## Two-stage generation
+## Hierarchical generation
 
 The default rubric path is hierarchical (`prompts/skeleton.md` + `prompts/subtree.md`):
 
 1. **Pass 1 — skeleton**: a single LLM call defines the root + direct children (one node per major contribution / experiment / section), and assigns each a `target_subtree_leaves` budget summing to the overall target.
 2. **Pass 2 — subtrees (parallel)**: one call per direct child populates its subtree with 4–6 additional levels, scoped to the parent's `requirements`. Concurrency is bounded by an internal semaphore (default 4).
-3. **Merge + prune**: subtree roots replace skeleton stubs; leaves whose `quote` or `requirements` violate the schema's `minLength=10` are dropped (a small handful per run is normal).
+3. **Merge + evidence binding**: subtree roots replace skeleton stubs. Each retained leaf is bound to exact character offsets in the input paper or an explicit external prerequisite and receives a structured artifact/log/metric verification target. Every normalization or dropped node is retained in the repair ledger.
 
-Single-call mode (`two_stage=False`) preserves the original `prompts/adversarial_reviewer.md` template for cost-sensitive runs (~5× lower API tokens). On a 16K-word reference paper, two-stage produces ~149 leaves at depth 5 vs ~37 leaves at depth 4 for single-call (gpt-5.2, same paper).
+Hierarchical generation is the only public generation strategy. It fails closed
+when its call budget is exhausted and records subtree failures instead of
+silently treating missing coverage as success. Historical V1 rubrics remain
+read-only migration inputs; there is no low-coverage runtime generator.
 
 ## Environment
 
 | Variable | Default | Purpose |
 |---|---|---|
 | `ARI_MODEL_RUBRIC_GEN` | `gemini/gemini-2.5-pro` | Generator LLM |
+| `ARI_MODEL_RUBRIC_GEN_PROVIDER` / `ARI_MODEL_RUBRIC_GEN_REVISION` | inferred / unset | Immutable generator identity |
 | `ARI_MODEL_RUBRIC_AUDIT` | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-7` | Auditor LLM (independent from generator) |
+| `ARI_MODEL_RUBRIC_AUDIT_PROVIDER` / `ARI_MODEL_RUBRIC_AUDIT_REVISION` | inferred / unset | Auditor identity used for the independence decision |
 | `ARI_RUBRIC_GEN_TARGET_LEAVES` | (unset) | Override the per-paper target leaf count. `0` / unset → auto from paper length. Set by the GUI Wizard's "Target leaves" field. |
 | `ARI_RUBRIC_GEN_TEMPERATURE` | (unset) | Override generator temperature. Set by the GUI Wizard's "Temperature" field. |
-| `ARI_RUBRIC_GEN_TWO_STAGE` | (unset) | `1`/`true`/`on` → force two-stage; `0`/`false`/`off` → force single-call. Unset → use the kwarg default (currently `True`). Set by the GUI Wizard's "Two-stage generation" toggle. |
 
-Resolution order (server.py): explicit kwarg → env var → default. The MCP tool is invoked by `ari-core/config/workflow.yaml::ors_generate_rubric`; the workflow does not pass these three knobs explicitly, so env vars set by the GUI Wizard always win over the kwarg defaults at runtime.
+Resolution order (`server.py`) is explicit kwarg → env var → default for target
+leaf count and temperature. The strategy is fixed to `hierarchical-v2` with the
+`calibrated` quality profile.
 
 ## Output schema
 
-See `schemas/replication_rubric.schema.json`. The root rubric is a PaperBench `TaskNode` tree wrapped with frozen provenance metadata (paper sha256, generator model, prompt sha256, optional audit metadata). The downstream consumer is `ari-skill-paper-re.grade_with_simplejudge`, which wraps PaperBench's `SimpleJudge`.
+See `schemas/replication_rubric.schema.json` and `schemas/replication_rubric_audit.schema.json`. The frozen rubric and audit are distinct immutable documents. `ari-skill-paper-re` accepts V2 and a digest-verified legacy V1 reader during the migration window; unknown versions, tampered envelopes, and paper-digest mismatches fail before execution or grading. `src/migration.py::migrate_v1_to_v2` performs an offline, lossless migration and preserves the complete V1 source artifact.
 
 ## `execution_profile` (HPC / parallel-execution hints)
 
-Optional sibling of `expected_artifacts` under `reproduce_contract`. Populated by the generator when the paper specifies parallel execution properties (MPI rank counts, GPU types, node exclusivity, etc.); consumed by `ari-skill-paper-re` Phase 2 sbatch and the BasicAgent prompt. Omit entirely for legacy single-CPU papers — backward compatible.
+Optional sibling of `expected_artifacts` under `reproduce_contract`.

-You are a senior reviewer authoring a grading rubric for a paper-replication
-attempt. Your rubric will be applied by an LLM judge (PaperBench SimpleJudge)
-to a candidate's submission, where the candidate has provided a reproduce.sh
-script that has already been executed; the resulting reproduce.log and
-artifacts are available to the judge.
-
-GRADING SUBSTRATE (READ FIRST):
-  Phase 1: candidate provides reproduce.sh; grader runs it once in a sandbox;
-           reproduce.log and artifact files are produced.
-  Phase 2: PaperBench SimpleJudge reads paper + your leaf + submission files
-           + reproduce.log, then assigns 0/1 per leaf.
-
-You must produce a hierarchical rubric in PaperBench TaskNode format:
-  - id (UUID v4 string)
-  - requirements (NL string describing what should be verified)
-  - weight (positive integer)
-  - sub_tasks (list of children; empty for leaves)
-  - task_category (leaves only): MUST be exactly one of:
-       "Code Development" | "Code Execution" | "Result Analysis"
-  - finegrained_task_category (leaves only): MUST be exactly one of the
-    following seven values, copied verbatim (do NOT invent new categories,
-    do NOT pluralize, do NOT rephrase):
-       "Environment & Infrastructure Setup"
-       "Dataset and Model Acquisition"
-       "Data Processing & Preparation"
-       "Method Implementation"
-       "Experimental Setup"
-       "Evaluation, Metrics & Benchmarking"
-       "Logging, Analysis & Presentation"
-    Typical pairings: Code Development+Method Implementation,
-    Code Execution+Experimental Setup, Result Analysis+Evaluation, Metrics & Benchmarking.
-    Figures/plots/visualizations belong to "Logging, Analysis & Presentation".
-  - rationale_from_paper (leaves: required): {section, quote (verbatim from paper)}
-
-HIERARCHY DESIGN (READ THIS BEFORE WRITING THE TREE — common failure point):
-  The rubric is a DEEP tree, not a flat 3-bucket list. Reference PaperBench
-  rubrics range from depth 5 to depth 9 (e.g. rice depth 6 / 361 leaves,
-  bbox depth 8 / 279 leaves, pinn depth 9 / 1963 leaves).
-
-  STRUCTURAL AXIS — internal (non-leaf) nodes decompose the paper by
-  SCIENTIFIC STRUCTURE, recursively. Generic skeleton (PaperBench convention):
-    d1  root: "The core contributions of the paper have been reproduced."
-    d2  one child per major contribution / section claimed in the paper
-    d3  one child per concrete experiment / benchmark / variant of (d2)
-    d4  one child per instance (dataset, environment, model, problem case,
-        kernel variant, baseline, …) participating in (d3)
-    d5+ one child per implementation aspect, hyperparameter, or measurement
-        of (d4); subdivide until each leaf is ONE atomic, binary-checkable
-        fact. Aim for depth 5–8 on a typical paper.
-
-  IMPORTANT — ADAPT TO THE PAPER'S OWN STRUCTURE. The skeleton above is a
-  template; the names and grouping at every level MUST come from the paper
-  in front of you, NOT from any example. Different fields decompose
-  differently; pick whichever vocabulary the paper itself uses:
-    - RL paper:       contribution → algorithm → environment → seed / metric
-    - HPC kernel:     contribution → kernel variant → input shape /
-                      sparsity pattern → measurement (FLOPs, bandwidth, …)
-    - NLP paper:      contribution → task → dataset → model size →
-                      decoding setting → metric
-    - Vision paper:   contribution → dataset → backbone → augmentation →
-                      metric
-    - Theory paper:   claim → lemma / theorem → numerical validation case →
-                      verifiable assertion
-  If the paper has only one experiment, d2 may collapse to a single child;
-  if it has many, d2 should fan out wide. Match the paper, not the template.
-
-  LABEL AXIS — ``task_category`` and ``finegrained_task_category`` are
-  LEAF-ONLY METADATA. They are NOT structural levels. Never split a layer
-  into "Code Development / Code Execution / Result Analysis" branches —
-  these labels describe what kind of check each LEAF is, and a single
-  experiment subtree usually contains a mix of all three at its leaves.
-
-  ANTI-PATTERN (do NOT do this — produces a useless 3-layer rubric):
-    root
-      ├─ "Code Development"  → flat list of implementation leaves
-      ├─ "Code Execution"    → flat list of execution leaves
-      └─ "Result Analysis"   → flat list of analysis leaves
-  This collapses scientific structure, makes per-experiment scoping
-  impossible, and underweights the paper's central claims. If your tree
-  has only 3 children at d2 and they are named after task categories, you
-  have made this mistake — restructure by experiment/contribution instead.
-
-  WEIGHT SEMANTICS — ``weight`` on internal nodes controls how much the
-  whole subtree contributes to the parent. Give the paper's central
-  contribution a higher weight than ablation studies or auxiliary checks.
-
-LEAF DESIGN PRINCIPLES (adversarial mindset):
-  - A fraudulent submission CANNOT pass.
-  - A faithful reimplementation MUST pass.
-  - An empty repo MUST score below 5%.
-  - Generic boilerplate MUST score below 10%.
-  - For every claim in the paper, design at least one leaf.
-
-CATEGORY GUIDELINES (PaperBench norm, target distribution):
-  - Code Development      ~50%  (what should be implemented)
-  - Code Execution        ~45%  (what should be measured/run via reproduce.sh)
-  - Result Analysis       ~5%   (claims about how results compare)
-
-WORDING RULES (match PaperBench style):
-  - Use definite, verifiable phrasing:
-      "The X class outputs Y for input Z"
-      "Experiment II for environment E has been run"
-      "In the log, method M's score is strictly higher than method N's"
-  - Avoid vague qualifiers: "appropriate", "well-organized", "clear", "good", "proper".
-  - Every leaf MUST cite a paper section and a verbatim quote in
-    rationale_from_paper. The quote must appear LITERALLY in the paper text.
-  - ``rationale_from_paper.quote`` is a plain-text JSON string. STRIP LaTeX
-    markup before storing — JSON does not accept ``\(``, ``\$``, ``\texttt``
-    as escape sequences and the rubric loader will reject your output.
-    Concretely: replace ``\\(...\\)`` with parentheses, drop ``\\texttt{X}``
-    and emit just ``X``, drop ``\\textit{X}`` and emit just ``X``, replace
-    ``\\$`` with ``$``, and use plain ASCII for math symbols (write ``m+1``
-    not ``\\(m+1\\)``). The quote must still match a substring of the paper
-    text after the same stripping is applied to the paper.
-
-EXPECTED_ARTIFACTS DISCIPLINE (read carefully — common failure point):
-  ``expected_artifacts`` is a list of repo-relative paths that ``reproduce.sh``
-  MUST cause to exist when the grader runs it. The grader fails the run if
-  any listed path is absent, so over-specifying degrades scoring.
-
-  RULES:
-   1. List ONLY files that the experiment program (compile + execute steps
-      inside reproduce.sh) would actually emit. Do NOT include figures the
-      paper renders via post-hoc plotting (matplotlib/tikz/Inkscape) unless
-      the paper explicitly states the same script generates them.
-   2. ``reproduce.log`` is captured automatically by the runner — include it
-      ONLY if a leaf checks log content. Default: omit.
-   3. If a paper produces a CSV/JSON of measurements, list it (e.g.
-      ``results.csv``, ``metrics.json``).
-   4. Figures (``fig_1.pdf`` etc.) are typically rendered by a separate
-      plotting script. List them ONLY if you have direct evidence (a
-      paragraph or pseudocode) showing the experiment script writes them.
-   5. Prefer top-level paths (``results.csv``) over subpath paths
-      (``code/results.csv``) — reproduce.sh wrappers normalize outputs to
-      repo root.
-   6. Keep the list short: 1–4 entries is typical. A list of 8+ usually
-      means hallucinated artifacts.
-
-  When in doubt, OMIT a path and let a Code Execution leaf check log content
-  instead. The leaf-level grader can read reproduce.log directly.
-
-EXECUTION_PROFILE (OPTIONAL — populate iff the paper specifies parallel /
-distributed execution properties; OMIT ENTIRELY for single-machine papers
-including NLP / vision / theory / single-CPU / single-GPU / serverless /
-small-scale ML; the downstream replicator handles single-machine reproduction
-without a profile):
-
-  Only populate when the paper carries explicit statements like
-  "we evaluated at N MPI ranks", "we trained on M GPUs with data
-  parallelism", "we sharded across K database nodes", or "experiments ran
-  on exclusive nodes with specific memory / CPU constraints".
-
-  Field semantics (mirror ``replication_rubric.schema.json``):
-    - kind: closed enum — pick the closest fit; if none applies, OMIT
-      execution_profile entirely.
-        * cpu_single   — single-process CPU (rarely needs a profile)
-        * gpu_single   — single-process single-GPU
-        * gpu_multi    — single-process multi-GPU (DDP on one machine)
-        * mpi          — multi-process / multi-rank, no GPU
-        * mpi_gpu      — multi-process / multi-rank, GPU per rank
-    - paper_max_ranks / paper_max_nodes / min_ranks / min_nodes — scale
-      envelope.
-    - result_aggregation: "rank0_csv" when multiple ranks must write one
-      combined CSV.
-    - metric_columns: required CSV header (paper-defined; varies by
-      domain — runtime_sec / gflops for HPC, eval_loss / accuracy for
-      ML, query_p50_ms for DB).
-    - accepts_reduced_scale (default true): allow smaller-scale runs for
-      partial credit.
-    - SLURM hints (consumed by paper-re Phase 2 sbatch when present;
-      useful for any cluster-style evaluation, not only HPC):
-      requested_nodes, ntasks_per_node, requested_nodelist,
-      exclude_nodes, exclusive, requested_gpus_per_task,
-      requested_gpus_per_node, gpu_type, memory_gb_per_node,
-      memory_gb_per_cpu, constraint, cpu_bind, mem_bind, hint,
-      module_loads (e.g. ["cuda/12.4","openmpi/4.1"]), extra_sbatch_args
-      (escape hatch).
-
-  Concrete examples (DO NOT copy verbatim; extract from the paper):
-    * HPC: "Our experiment ran on 8 exclusive nodes × 4 V100 GPUs with
-      OpenMPI 4.1 on a Skylake cluster".
-    * ML training: "We trained the 70B-param model on 16 H100 GPUs using
-      PyTorch DDP with --gpus-per-task=1, --ntasks=16".
-    * DB sharding: "We deployed N database nodes with --nodes=N
-      --exclusive to measure tail-latency at p99".

-You are a senior reviewer authoring a grading rubric for a paper-replication
-attempt. Your rubric will be applied by an LLM judge (PaperBench SimpleJudge)
-to a candidate's submission, where the candidate has provided a reproduce.sh
-script that has already been executed; the resulting reproduce.log and
-artifacts are available to the judge.
-
-GRADING SUBSTRATE (READ FIRST):
-  Phase 1: candidate provides reproduce.sh; grader runs it once in a sandbox;
-           reproduce.log and artifact files are produced.
-  Phase 2: PaperBench SimpleJudge reads paper + your leaf + submission files
-           + reproduce.log, then assigns 0/1 per leaf.
-
-You must produce a hierarchical rubric in PaperBench TaskNode format:
-  - id (UUID v4 string)
-  - requirements (NL string describing what should be verified)
-  - weight (positive integer)
-  - sub_tasks (list of children; empty for leaves)
-  - task_category (leaves only): MUST be exactly one of:
-       "Code Development" | "Code Execution" | "Result Analysis"
-  - finegrained_task_category (leaves only): MUST be exactly one of the
-    following seven values, copied verbatim (do NOT invent new categories,
-    do NOT pluralize, do NOT rephrase):
-       "Environment & Infrastructure Setup"
-       "Dataset and Model Acquisition"
-       "Data Processing & Preparation"
-       "Method Implementation"
-       "Experimental Setup"
-       "Evaluation, Metrics & Benchmarking"
-       "Logging, Analysis & Presentation"
-    Typical pairings: Code Development+Method Implementation,
-    Code Execution+Experimental Setup, Result Analysis+Evaluation, Metrics & Benchmarking.
-    Figures/plots/visualizations belong to "Logging, Analysis & Presentation".
-  - rationale_from_paper (leaves: required): {section, quote (verbatim from paper)}
-
-HIERARCHY DESIGN (READ THIS BEFORE WRITING THE TREE — common failure point):
-  The rubric is a DEEP tree, not a flat 3-bucket list. Reference PaperBench
-  rubrics range from depth 5 to depth 9 (e.g. rice depth 6 / 361 leaves,
-  bbox depth 8 / 279 leaves, pinn depth 9 / 1963 leaves).
-
-  STRUCTURAL AXIS — internal (non-leaf) nodes decompose the paper by
-  SCIENTIFIC STRUCTURE, recursively. Generic skeleton (PaperBench convention):
-    d1  root: "The core contributions of the paper have been reproduced."
-    d2  one child per major contribution / section claimed in the paper
-    d3  one child per concrete experiment / benchmark / variant of (d2)
-    d4  one child per instance (dataset, environment, model, problem case,
-        kernel variant, baseline, …) participating in (d3)
-    d5+ one child per implementation aspect, hyperparameter, or measurement
-        of (d4); subdivide until each leaf is ONE atomic, binary-checkable
-        fact. Aim for depth 5–8 on a typical paper.
-
-  IMPORTANT — ADAPT TO THE PAPER'S OWN STRUCTURE. The skeleton above is a
-  template; the names and grouping at every level MUST come from the paper
-  in front of you, NOT from any example. Different fields decompose
-  differently; pick whichever vocabulary the paper itself uses:
-    - RL paper:       contribution → algorithm → environment → seed / metric
-    - HPC kernel:     contribution → kernel variant → input shape /
-                      sparsity pattern → measurement (FLOPs, bandwidth, …)
-    - NLP paper:      contribution → task → dataset → model size →
-                      decoding setting → metric
-    - Vision paper:   contribution → dataset → backbone → augmentation →
-                      metric
-    - Theory paper:   claim → lemma / theorem → numerical validation case →
-                      verifiable assertion
-  If the paper has only one experiment, d2 may collapse to a single child;
-  if it has many, d2 should fan out wide. Match the paper, not the template.
-
-  LABEL AXIS — ``task_category`` and ``finegrained_task_category`` are
-  LEAF-ONLY METADATA. They are NOT structural levels. Never split a layer
-  into "Code Development / Code Execution / Result Analysis" branches —
-  these labels describe what kind of check each LEAF is, and a single
-  experiment subtree usually contains a mix of all three at its leaves.
-
-  ANTI-PATTERN (do NOT do this — produces a useless 3-layer rubric):
-    root
-      ├─ "Code Development"  → flat list of implementation leaves
-      ├─ "Code Execution"    → flat list of execution leaves
-      └─ "Result Analysis"   → flat list of analysis leaves
-  This collapses scientific structure, makes per-experiment scoping
-  impossible, and underweights the paper's central claims. If your tree
-  has only 3 children at d2 and they are named after task categories, you
-  have made this mistake — restructure by experiment/contribution instead.
-
-  WEIGHT SEMANTICS — ``weight`` on internal nodes controls how much the
-  whole subtree contributes to the parent. Give the paper's central
-  contribution a higher weight than ablation studies or auxiliary checks.
-
-LEAF DESIGN PRINCIPLES (adversarial mindset):
-  - A fraudulent submission CANNOT pass.
-  - A faithful reimplementation MUST pass.
-  - An empty repo MUST score below 5%.
-  - Generic boilerplate MUST score below 10%.
-  - For every claim in the paper, design at least one leaf.
-
-CATEGORY GUIDELINES (PaperBench norm, target distribution):
-  - Code Development      ~50%  (what should be implemented)
-  - Code Execution        ~45%  (what should be measured/run via reproduce.sh)
-  - Result Analysis       ~5%   (claims about how results compare)
-
-WORDING RULES (match PaperBench style):
-  - Use definite, verifiable phrasing:
-      "The X class outputs Y for input Z"
-      "Experiment II for environment E has been run"
-      "In the log, method M's score is strictly higher than method N's"
-  - Avoid vague qualifiers: "appropriate", "well-organized", "clear", "good", "proper".
-  - Every leaf MUST cite a paper section and a verbatim quote in
-    rationale_from_paper. The quote must appear LITERALLY in the paper text.
-  - ``rationale_from_paper.quote`` is a plain-text JSON string. STRIP LaTeX
-    markup before storing — JSON does not accept ``\(``, ``\$``, ``\texttt``
-    as escape sequences and the rubric loader will reject your output.
-    Concretely: replace ``\\(...\\)`` with parentheses, drop ``\\texttt{X}``
-    and emit just ``X``, drop ``\\textit{X}`` and emit just ``X``, replace
-    ``\\$`` with ``$``, and use plain ASCII for math symbols (write ``m+1``
-    not ``\\(m+1\\)``). The quote must still match a substring of the paper
-    text after the same stripping is applied to the paper.
-
-EXPECTED_ARTIFACTS DISCIPLINE (read carefully — common failure point):
-  ``expected_artifacts`` is a list of repo-relative paths that ``reproduce.sh``
-  MUST cause to exist when the grader runs it. The grader fails the run if
-  any listed path is absent, so over-specifying degrades scoring.
-
-  RULES:
-   1. List ONLY files that the experiment program (compile + execute steps
-      inside reproduce.sh) would actually emit. Do NOT include figures the
-      paper renders via post-hoc plotting (matplotlib/tikz/Inkscape) unless
-      the paper explicitly states the same script generates them.
-   2. ``reproduce.log`` is captured automatically by the runner — include it
-      ONLY if a leaf checks log content. Default: omit.
-   3. If a paper produces a CSV/JSON of measurements, list it (e.g.
-      ``results.csv``, ``metrics.json``).
-   4. Figures (``fig_1.pdf`` etc.) are typically rendered by a separate
-      plotting script. List them ONLY if you have direct evidence (a
-      paragraph or pseudocode) showing the experiment script writes them.
-   5. Prefer top-level paths (``results.csv``) over subpath paths
-      (``code/results.csv``) — reproduce.sh wrappers normalize outputs to
-      repo root.
-   6. Keep the list short: 1–4 entries is typical. A list of 8+ usually
-      means hallucinated artifacts.
-
-  When in doubt, OMIT a path and let a Code Execution leaf check log content
-  instead. The leaf-level grader can read reproduce.log directly.
-
-EXECUTION_PROFILE (OPTIONAL — populate iff the paper specifies parallel /
-distributed execution properties; OMIT ENTIRELY for single-machine papers
-including NLP / vision / theory / single-CPU / single-GPU / serverless /
-small-scale ML; the downstream replicator handles single-machine reproduction
-without a profile):
-
-  Only populate when the paper carries explicit statements like
-  "we evaluated at N MPI ranks", "we trained on M GPUs with data
-  parallelism", "we sharded across K database nodes", or "experiments ran

+# ari-skill-tool-registry
+
+Provider-neutral federation for large scientific MCP collections. The Skill is
+default-off and exposes exactly five operations to the agent:
+
+| Operation | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `discover` | Search a bounded immutable catalog and return opaque `tool_ref` values |
+| `describe` | Page through schema, provenance, admission, semantics, and limitations |
+| `invoke` | Execute one admitted exact `tool_ref` in `live`, `record`, or `replay` mode |
+| `get_status` | Poll a descriptor-bound asynchronous operation |
+| `get_result` | Retrieve and normalize its final result |
+
+Leaf schemas are generated from source discovery into `CATALOG.lock`; they are
+never registered directly as LLM tools. Adding a 1,000-tool collection therefore
+requires one reviewed source declaration, not 1,000 hand-written records.
+
+## Catalog workflow
+
+1. Declare either a direct stdio MCP provider or a reviewed collection adapter
+   in `sources.yaml`. Launchers are shell-free, Python-only,
+   architecture-aware, and pinned to the interpreter, package
+   source/dependency declaration closure, adapter, and provider digest.
+2. Run `python src/sync_catalog.py`. A first catalog is created. A changed
+   catalog produces `*.pending` files and a machine-readable diff, then exits 3.
+3. Review source identity, schemas, permissions, evidence, provenance chains,
+   semantic overlap, and quarantine decisions.
+4. Run `python src/sync_catalog.py --approve` to replace the reviewed lock.
+   A leaf schema/default change additionally requires
+   `--approve-schema-changes` so a bulk package update cannot hide a contract
+   change among ordinary additions.
+5. Regenerate/check public contracts with
+   `python scripts/sync_contracts.py --write` or, in CI, without `--write`.
+
+Runtime reads `CATALOG.lock` and `catalog.index.json` once. It never refreshes a
+source or auto-admits a new leaf during a run.
+
+## ToolUniverse collection
+
+ToolUniverse is one optional collection source, not a dependency of the generic
+registry and not a public tool namespace. The reviewed support matrix currently
+contains ToolUniverse `1.3.1` and pins its PyPI wheel/sdist, upstream commit,
+license, upstream dependency lock, compact contract, and the canonical tree of
+all 3,542 files in the installed `tooluniverse` package. Sync and runtime both
+verify that tree before starting the exact
+`tooluniverse.smcp_server:run_stdio_server` entry point.
+
+The adapter uses only `list_tools`, `get_tool_info`, and `execute_tool` from the
+four-tool compact surface. It applies its own category filter because an
+upstream CLI filter is not a trust boundary, expands leaf schemas in bounded
+pages/batches, and executes only names present in the active lock. Dynamic MCP
+loaders, agentic/composition/code-execution types, unprofiled categories,
+credential-requiring leaves, and invalid schemas are quarantined. The known
+v1.3.1 property-level `required: true` dialect is translated deterministically
+to standard JSON Schema and the translation is recorded; argument values are
+never coerced.
+
+Verify an isolated installation and obtain its provider digest before adding a
+source declaration (start from
+`providers/tooluniverse-source.example.yaml`):
+
+```bash
+python scripts/verify_tooluniverse.py \
+  --python /absolute/provider-env/bin/python \
+  --package-root /absolute/provider-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/tooluniverse \
+  --category uniprot --smoke
+```
+
+Category profiles assign effects, determinism, permissions, limitations, and
+lineage to groups of leaves. They do not confer scientific validity. Collection
+evidence is capped below per-leaf replay/scientific validation, provider caches
+and update checks are disabled, and ARI cassette/EAR remains the replay
+authority. The optional dependency is installed only with
+`ari-skill-tool-registry[tooluniverse]`; production environments should be built
+from the reviewed upstream lock rather than resolving current transitive
+versions.
+
+## OpenROAD experiment profiles
+
+The official OpenROAD-MCP integration is a domain adapter, not another exposed
+interactive shell. One immutable `OpenRoadExperimentV1` becomes one virtual
+asynchronous leaf. The only invocation argument is a bounded `request_id`; Tcl,
+cwd, environment, executable, input/output paths, seed, threads, PDK, libraries,
+toolchain commits, and image digest all come from the reviewed catalog profile.
+
+Each profile selects one closed execution backend. `local-mcp` copies a closed
+digest-verified input workspace to a new private directory and starts
+`openroad -no_init -metrics <declared-json>` through one stateful MCP connection.
+`slurm` compiles the same closed commands into a digest-pinned Tcl program,
+copies a standard-library-only reviewed worker, and submits both through C06's
+typed `JobRequestV1` in a digest-pinned clean Apptainer/Singularity container.
+No caller-supplied command, scheduler flag, module, path, or environment crosses
+the virtual leaf boundary. Both backends capture only declared regular outputs, reject
+missing, unexpected, oversized, symlinked, or digest-mismatched files, and
+normalize each metric with unit, corner, mode, stage, report digest, and JSON
+pointer. Golden and replay evidence are regular files whose bytes and contents
+are checked; metadata assertions alone cannot raise admission.
+
+Submission, status, result, and cancellation use the registry's generic async
+handle. Local termination closes the MCP session. SLURM cancellation is confirmed
+before its private shared-filesystem workspace is removed; an ambiguous scheduler
+transport leaves that workspace intact for reconciliation. C06 handle, resources,
+environment/module/container digests, logs, and runtime provenance join the output
+and sanitized transcript as content-addressed artifacts.
+The broker independently verifies every adapter artifact's logical path, size,
+and SHA-256 before publishing it. Record mode includes these references in the
+cassette, so replay and inspection do not start OpenROAD or require the PDK.
+
+The reviewed support line is OpenROAD-MCP Python 0.6.1 with ORFS 26Q3. The
+upstream Python release is deprecated/final and its npm distribution is active;
+an npm launcher will require a separate reviewed adapter. Start from
+`providers/openroad-source.example.yaml` and verify exact installations with:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/verify_openroad.py \
+  --python /absolute/openroad-mcp-env/bin/python \
+  --package-root /absolute/openroad-mcp-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/openroad_mcp \
+  --experiment /absolute/profile.yaml --smoke
+```
+
+## Qiskit experiment profiles
+
+The Qiskit integration imports the official Qiskit MCP servers as two pinned
+providers but exposes only immutable sampling profiles. It deliberately does
+not expose account management, arbitrary QASM/Python, arbitrary backend
+selection, or the upstream tool sets as leaf tools. Four different capability
+references keep local ideal Aer, local noisy Aer, remote simulator, and IBM
+hardware results from becoming interchangeable semantic matches.
+
+Each `QiskitExperimentV1` fixes a QPY circuit and producer version, parameter
+bindings with explicit units, transpiler level/seed/layout, basis gates,
+coupling map and target digest, shots, simulation method/precision/threads,
+simulator seed and noise model, or Runtime backend/access-tier/mitigation
+identity. The caller supplies only an idempotent `request_id`. The adapter uses
+the official core MCP for transpilation; a digest-pinned, distribution-checked
+worker runs local Aer because the reviewed core provider does not execute
+circuits. Remote profiles use only the reviewed Runtime setup, snapshot,
+sampler, status, result, and cancellation operations.
+
+Remote submission returns the common asynchronous handle immediately. The raw
+backend property, coupling, calibration, submission, status, and result records
+are stored as role-distinct content-addressed artifacts. A stable scientific
+snapshot digest excludes queue/operational timestamps while the original live
+snapshot remains preserved. Backend or target mismatch fails before submission,
+timeout requests cancellation, and an ambiguous submit/cancel race is reconciled
+without silently orphaning the provider job.
+
+`QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN` is the only admitted Runtime credential. It enters the Skill
+through the `quantum.ibm-runtime` credential scope and is forwarded only to the
+isolated Runtime MCP process. Exact-value redaction covers provider text,
+structured output, diagnostics, and exceptions; locks, source records,
+cassettes, artifacts, and identity digests contain neither the token nor a raw
+instance CRN. The profile stores only an `instance_digest` and an access-tier ID.
+
+The reviewed stack is Qiskit MCP server 0.3.1, IBM Runtime MCP server 0.6.1,
+Qiskit 2.5.1, Qiskit Aer 0.17.2, and Qiskit IBM Runtime 0.48.0. Aer 0.17.2 is in
+reduced maintenance, so any version change needs a new support record and
+scientific fixture review. Start from `providers/qiskit-source.example.yaml` and
+verify isolated installations, provider contracts, profiles, and optionally a
+local run with:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/verify_qiskit.py \
+  --core-python /absolute/qiskit-env/bin/python \
+  --core-package-root /absolute/qiskit-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/qiskit_mcp_server \
+  --runtime-python /absolute/runtime-env/bin/python \
+  --runtime-package-root /absolute/runtime-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/qiskit_ibm_runtime_mcp_server \
+  --experiment /absolute/profile.yaml --smoke
+```
+
+See [the Qiskit profile guide](../docs/reference/qiskit_profiles.md) for the
+scientific contract, credential procedure, provider update gate, and rollback.
+
+## Admission and scientific meaning
+
+Admission is explicit and monotonic:
+
+- `discovered`: visible but not executable;
+- `callable`: protocol, provider pin, launcher, and permission checks pass;
+- `reproducible`: dependency closure and an offline replay fixture are present;
+- `scientifically_admitted`: validation evidence, limitations, units, semantics,
+  and method/backend identity are documented.
+
+Policy identity is separate from execution identity. Changing only policy does
+not rewrite `tool_ref`; changing provider, adapter, schema, defaults, permissions,
+semantic execution fields, or lifecycle does.
+
+Exact duplicates collapse. Similar capabilities remain separate unless evidence
+establishes equivalence; same-backend and independent-method overlap are recorded
+explicitly. Results are never averaged merely because names look similar.
+
+## Record and replay
+
+`record` stores the exact arguments, catalog/policy digests, selection reason,
+rejected alternatives, raw response digest/artifact, and normalized
+`ari.result-envelope/v1`. `replay` requires the same immutable catalog and does
+not start the provider. Evidence is written under `{checkpoint}/ear/catalog/`
+and is included by the default EAR curator.
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+pytest -q
+python scripts/sync_contracts.py
+python ../scripts/check_skill_manifests.py
+```
+
+The suite uses real stdio MCP processes, malformed-output and environment
+isolation fixtures, async lifecycle tests, graph-cycle quarantine, deterministic
+lock diffs, offline replay, and a 1,000-tool resource-bound import.
+
+See [the federation reference](../docs/reference/tool_registry.md) for the
+normative operator and adapter contract.

+# Tool Registry Requirements
+
+## Runtime
+
+- Python 3.13 or newer
+- `mcp`, `pydantic`, `jsonschema`, `pyyaml`, and `ari-skill-hpc>=0.3.0`
+- optional `tooluniverse==1.3.1` only in a separate provider environment; it is
+  not imported by the registry process
+- optional local Qiskit environment containing exactly Qiskit `2.5.1`, Aer
+  `0.17.2`, and Qiskit MCP server `0.3.1`
+- optional IBM Runtime environment containing exactly Qiskit `2.5.1`, Qiskit
+  IBM Runtime `0.48.0`, Qiskit MCP server `0.3.1`, and IBM Runtime MCP server
+  `0.6.1`
+- an immutable reviewed `CATALOG.lock`; the committed default is empty
+- an optional ARI checkpoint for artifacts and record/replay evidence
+
+The component is default-off. Enabling it does not enable any leaf provider;
+only sources present in the reviewed lock can execute.
+
+## Required invariants
+
+- The public MCP surface contains exactly `discover`, `describe`, `invoke`,
+  `get_status`, and `get_result`.
+- Runtime accepts only an exact opaque `tool_ref`; bare names never dispatch.
+- Runtime does not import `sources.yaml`, sync providers, alter admission, or
+  replace its active snapshot.
+- Production configuration accepts generic direct `stdio-mcp` and the reviewed
+  `tooluniverse` collection source. `StaticCatalogSource`,
+  `StaticProviderAdapter`, and package-verification bypasses are injection seams
+  for conformance tests, not selectable production kinds.
+- Launchers execute no shell string and forward no undeclared parent
+  environment or embedded credentials.
+- Every leaf has a visible source-to-provider-to-tool origin chain. Cycles,
+  excessive depth, missing leaf identity, source failure, and identity drift are
+  quarantined or fail closed.
+- Provider responses are normalized to `ari.result-envelope/v1`; large raw
+  content becomes a content-addressed artifact.
+- Record/replay cassettes contain no credential values and bind exact arguments,
+  catalog, policy, selection evidence, raw response, and normalized result.
+- Exact duplicate identities may collapse. Semantic near-matches remain
+  distinct; scientific equivalence requires reviewed units, semantics, backend
+  and data lineage, and method identity evidence.
+- An OpenROAD `slurm` profile requires a canonical shared `work_root`, one-node
+  typed resource request, exact thread/CPU agreement, a digest-pinned clean
+  container matching the toolchain image digest, and a worker Python path inside
+  that image. Caller arguments cannot override any of these fields.
+- Scheduler submission, status, cancellation, result, logs, module/environment
+  snapshots, and container identity use the C06 contracts. A workspace is removed
+  only after terminal scheduler state; ambiguous delivery fails closed and keeps
+  reconciliation evidence.
+- Qiskit local ideal, local noisy, remote simulator, and IBM hardware profiles
+  use separate capability references. Every profile fixes QPY bytes/version,
+  parameter units, target, transpilation, shots, backend method, and all
+  applicable seeds/noise/mitigation fields.
+- Qiskit remote execution must snapshot and verify backend identity before
+  submission, publish the common asynchronous lifecycle, preserve raw provider
+  evidence, and cancel on timeout. A backend/target mismatch fails closed.
+- `QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN` is admitted only through `quantum.ibm-runtime`, forwarded
+  only to the isolated Runtime provider, and value-redacted from every result,
+  exception, diagnostic, lock, cassette, and artifact boundary.
+
+## Source admission
+
+A source owner must provide an immutable provider digest and value-free evidence.
+`callable` requires protocol conformance, provider pinning, launcher verification,
+and permitted capabilities. `reproducible` additionally requires dependency
+pinning and a replay fixture digest. `scientifically_admitted` additionally
+requires validation evidence, limitations, semantics, units, and method identity.
+
+Source updates are operator-only. Unapproved changes produce pending lock/index
+files and a review diff. Approval must be explicit and occurs outside an active
+run.
+
+## ToolUniverse source admission
+
+- The release record must exactly match
+  `providers/tooluniverse-support-v1.json`; version ranges and refresh-on-start
+  installs are rejected.
+- `package_root` must be the installed `tooluniverse` directory whose complete
+  non-cache file tree matches the reviewed wheel. The launcher must use the
+  fixed stdio callable and include `**/*` in its identity closure.
+- The source declares category profiles rather than leaf wrappers. The adapter
+  independently enforces include/exclude categories and active-lock leaf names,
+  even when upstream loading is broader.
+- Dynamic MCP loaders, agentic/composition/code-execution types, direct
+  credential requirements, ambiguous/unreviewed profiles, and unrecognized
+  schema dialects remain quarantined.
+- ToolUniverse type coercion, result cache, FastMCP update checks, hooks, and
+  search are disabled. Explicit `null` is rejected because upstream removes it
+  before execution.
+- Collection-level evidence cannot promote every leaf to `reproducible` or
+  `scientifically_admitted`; those levels require leaf evidence.
+- Changed leaf input/output/default schemas require the separate
+  `--approve-schema-changes` operator flag.
+
+## Qiskit source admission
+
+- Both provider releases and the Qiskit/Aer/Runtime scientific distributions
+  must exactly match `providers/qiskit-support-v1.json`; ranges, runtime install,
+  modified package trees, alternate entry points, and added provider arguments
+  or environment fail closed.
+- The source contains profiles, not wrappers around all upstream tools. Only the
+  reviewed transpile and sampling lifecycle is reachable internally; account
+  listing/deletion and arbitrary provider operations are not catalog leaves.
+- Circuit input is absolute, digest-pinned QPY. Its header format and producing
+  Qiskit major/minor/patch must match the profile. Every binding has an explicit
+  `rad` or dimensionless unit; the reviewed Runtime MCP does not accept remote
+  bindings.
+- Local profiles require Aer, a simulator seed, fixed CPU parallelism, and an
+  explicit ideal/noise boundary. Remote profiles require value-free instance
+  and access-tier identities, backend snapshot verification, and no claimed
+  simulator seed.
+- Reproducible/scientific admission requires exact replay/golden files whose
+  bytes, profile/experiment/method identity, shots, counts, and declared
+  statistical bounds all validate. A digest string without the file is rejected.
+- Same backend, target, and software-stack profiles share an independence group.
+  Multiple wrappers or runs on that lineage are not independent-method evidence.
+
+## Environment
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR` | Writes lock, provenance, cassettes, and raw artifacts under `ear/catalog` |
+| `ARI_HPC_LEDGER_PATH` | Optional absolute durable C06 idempotency ledger used by OpenROAD SLURM profiles |
+| `ARI_SCHEDULER_PATH` | Fixed search path for shell-free scheduler control commands |
+| `ARI_TOOL_REGISTRY_LOCK` | Selects a reviewed lock at process startup |
+| `ARI_TOOL_REGISTRY_INDEX` | Selects the derived index matching that lock |
+| `ARI_TOOL_REGISTRY_CASSETTES` | Selects a credential-free replay store |
+| `QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN` | Optional IBM Quantum Runtime credential, available only through the named credential scope |
+
+The manifest also permits only the fixed platform/TLS variables needed by the
+isolated stdio process. The generic direct-MCP adapter remains credential-free;
+only the reviewed Qiskit Runtime adapter requests the scoped credential bridge.

+# Scientific tool federation
+
+Use this Skill when an experiment needs capabilities from a large reviewed MCP
+collection without placing every leaf schema in the model context.
+
+1. Call `discover` with a capability-oriented query and constraints.
+2. Use `describe` on promising opaque `tool_ref` values. Inspect admission,
+   provenance, units, semantics, limitations, and independence groups before
+   choosing a method.
+3. Call `invoke` with the exact selected `tool_ref`. Prefer `record` for evidence
+   that must be replayed; use `replay` only with the matching immutable catalog.
+4. If the result is submitted, pass its complete registry handle to
+   `get_status` and `get_result` without editing it.
+
+Do not infer equivalence from names or capability labels. Keep disagreements
+between independent methods as separate results with separate provenance. A
+`discovered` candidate is not executable, and `callable` alone is not evidence
+that a numerical or scientific method is valid for the experiment.

+- SHA-256 for wheel, sdist, license, dependency lock, and compact contract;
+- the direct dependency declarations and Python constraint;
+- a canonical path/size/SHA-256 tree digest for every non-cache file below the
+  installed `tooluniverse` package (3,542 files for `1.3.1`).
+
+The package license does not grant or validate the terms, availability, quality,
+or scientific correctness of every external API/data/model reached by a leaf.
+Those identities and limitations remain leaf provenance and admission concerns.
+
+### Adding or updating a release
+
+1. Review the official GitHub release/tag and resolve it to a full commit.
+2. Download wheel and sdist from PyPI and verify their published SHA-256 values.
+3. Review the license, direct dependencies, `uv.lock`, compact tool definitions,
+   stdio entry point, and relevant loader/execution changes.
+4. Build an isolated environment from the frozen dependency lock, install the
+   exact wheel without source substitution, and run
+   `scripts/verify_tooluniverse.py --smoke` for each proposed category.
+5. Add a new immutable support-matrix record. Never edit a historical release
+   record to describe different bytes.
+6. Sync `sources.yaml` without approval and review the pending lock/index/diff,
+   quarantine changes, category profile changes, permissions, schema
+   normalization, lineage, and admission decisions.
+7. Approve ordinary changes with `--approve`. If any input/output/default schema
+   changed, separately review them and add `--approve-schema-changes`.
+8. Run package tests, generic/direct-provider conformance, record/replay without
+   the provider environment, docs build, and manifest/schema checks.
+
+Rollback uses the previous support record, provider environment, active
+`CATALOG.lock`, and cassettes. Runtime never changes a release or catalog on
+startup.
+
+## OpenROAD
+
+`openroad-support-v1.json` admits the official
+[OpenROAD-MCP v0.6.1](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-MCP/releases/tag/v0.6.1)
+Python release at one full commit and the official
+[ORFS 26Q3](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/releases/tag/26Q3)
+support line with its exact OpenROAD submodule commit. The record binds the
+source archive, BSD-3-Clause license, Python dependency lock, direct
+dependencies, installed package tree, and ten-tool MCP schema contract.
+
+The official project now recommends its maintained npm distribution and labels
+the Python distribution deprecated/final. ARI pins Python 0.6.1 only because the
+current reviewed generic process launcher is Python-only. Moving to npm is a new
+supply-chain and launcher admission, not an in-place edit of this record.
+
+ARI does not publish the upstream interactive session tools. Their generic exec
+surface accepts commands broader than a scientific flow profile should. Each
+catalog leaf is instead one immutable `OpenRoadExperimentV1`: inputs, executable,
+image, ORFS/OpenROAD commits, PDK/library, seed, thread count, closed Tcl verbs,
+declared outputs, metric pointers/units/context, and evidence fixtures are fixed
+before sync. Runtime passes `-no_init`, as recommended by the official
+[OpenROAD test guidance](https://openroad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contrib/DeveloperGuide.html),
+and writes JSON design metrics through the documented
+[`-metrics` interface](https://openroad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contrib/Logger.html).
+
+### Adding a provider release or toolchain line
+
+1. Resolve the official tag to a full commit and record immutable archive,
+   license, lock, direct-dependency, package-tree, and MCP-contract digests.
+2. Resolve the ORFS tag and its OpenROAD submodule to full commits. Keep each
+   historical support record immutable.
+3. Build the provider and OpenROAD/ORFS toolchain in isolated environments;
+   never use a mutable image tag or an implicit host `openroad`.
+4. Start from `openroad-source.example.yaml`. Close the source workspace so it
+   contains exactly its declared regular files, and calculate every digest.
+5. Produce exact `ari.openroad-golden/v1` and
+   `ari.openroad-replay-fixture/v1` files. The verifier checks their bytes and
+   metric identity/ranges; a digest string without the file is rejected.
+6. Run `scripts/verify_openroad.py --smoke` and, for a validation run,
+   `--run-profile ... --artifact-root ...`. Review the result metrics,
+   transcript, output manifest, and cleanup.
+7. Sync the catalog and separately approve schema changes. Same-design,
+   same-PDK/library profiles remain in one independence group even when their
+   version or flow results disagree.
+
+Rollback selects the prior provider/toolchain record, experiment profile,
+catalog lock, and cassette. PDK and library license terms are profile-specific;
+the OpenROAD/ORFS license does not grant rights to third-party technology data.
+
+## Qiskit and IBM Quantum
+
+`qiskit-support-v1.json` admits the official
+[Qiskit MCP server 0.3.1](https://pypi.org/project/qiskit-mcp-server/0.3.1/)
+and
+[IBM Runtime MCP server 0.6.1](https://pypi.org/project/qiskit-ibm-runtime-mcp-server/0.6.1/)
+from the shared [Qiskit MCP repository](https://github.com/Qiskit/mcp-servers),
+at one full commit. It also fixes Qiskit 2.5.1, Qiskit Aer 0.17.2, and Qiskit
+IBM Runtime 0.48.0. The record binds each provider source archive, wheel,
+Apache-2.0 license, dependency lock, direct dependencies, complete installed
+package tree, and exact MCP tool contract. Scientific distribution source
+archives and Python constraints are recorded separately from provider bytes.
+
+The core provider's reviewed contract has seven circuit-analysis/conversion/
+transpilation tools and does not execute a circuit. The Runtime provider has
+twenty tools, including account-management operations that ARI must not publish.
+ARI therefore exposes neither upstream set directly: each catalog leaf is one
+immutable `QiskitExperimentV1`, and the adapter internally calls only the
+transpilation or setup/snapshot/sampler/status/result/cancel subset needed by
+that profile. Local Aer execution happens in a separate distribution-verified
+worker. The four backend kinds have distinct capabilities and admission meaning.
+
+QPY is the canonical circuit artifact. The verifier checks its bytes, `QISKIT`
+header, QPY format byte, producing Qiskit major/minor/patch, circuit dimensions,
+profile digest, and exact golden/replay files. Remote profiles additionally bind
+backend version, target basis/coupling digest, an opaque instance digest, access
+tier, mitigation policy, and captured calibration identity. Raw live snapshots
+remain artifacts even though volatile queue/operational fields are excluded
+from the stable scientific snapshot digest.
+
+### Adding or updating a provider/software release
+
+1. Review the official repository tags and resolve both provider releases to
+   full commits. Download the PyPI wheel/sdist and verify published hashes.
+2. Review the license, dependency lock, direct dependencies, entry points, and
+   exact tool definitions. Record a complete canonical package tree and contract
+   digest; do not edit an existing historical release to describe new bytes.
+3. Review Qiskit, Aer, and Runtime source releases separately. Aer's reduced
+   maintenance status is a risk requiring explicit acceptance for each support
+   line.
+4. Build isolated exact environments. Runtime environments must include the
+   reviewed core MCP distribution because the official Runtime package depends
+   on it. Do not resolve ranges at registry startup.
+5. Start from `qiskit-source.example.yaml`. Create QPY with the pinned Qiskit,
+   calculate target/software identities, and produce exact
+   `ari.qiskit-golden/v1` and `ari.qiskit-replay-fixture/v1` files.
+6. Run `scripts/verify_qiskit.py --smoke`; for local scientific validation also
+   use `--run-profile ... --artifact-root ...`. Review provider tool names,
+   transpiled QPY, counts, statistical bounds, and artifact manifests.
+7. For remote profiles, review backend/configuration/calibration identities and
+   access tier without recording the raw instance CRN. Supply
+   `QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN` only through the `quantum.ibm-runtime` credential scope.
+8. Sync without approval, review catalog/schema/lineage/permission changes, then
+   explicitly approve. Run token redaction, backend mismatch, async cancellation,
+   record/replay, manifest/schema, and package tests.
+
+Rollback restores the prior support record, exact provider environments,
+experiment profile, QPY/evidence files, active catalog lock, and cassettes.
+Remote jobs already submitted under the newer record must first reach a terminal
+state or be reconciled by their recorded provider handle; rollback must not hide
+or abandon them. IBM service terms, account entitlements, and backend access are
+external to the Apache-2.0 software licenses and remain operator responsibilities.

+# tool registry tests
+
+Tests cover identity hashing, graph quarantine, admission separation, overlap,
+1,000-tool generation, bounded progressive disclosure, immutable runtime locks,
+strict invocation, artifacts, async lifecycle, generic stdio MCP conformance,
+credential-free replay, generated-contract drift, and the real fixed five-tool
+registry server boundary. ToolUniverse coverage adds compact pagination/batching,
+1,000-leaf expansion, package masquerade rejection, known-dialect schema
+normalization, category/type quarantine, direct-provider coexistence, separate
+schema-update approval, cache-free provenance, and provider-free replay.
+OpenROAD coverage adds closed Tcl profiles, exact inputs/evidence, local and C06
+SLURM lifecycle, output/artifact validation, cancellation, and cleanup races.
+Qiskit coverage adds exact official tool contracts, QPY/version and distribution
+pins, ideal/noisy/remote/hardware capability separation, Bell/GHZ seeded vectors,
+noise tolerance, backend/calibration mismatch, submit/cancel races, token
+non-propagation/redaction, raw-artifact verification, and provider-free replay.

-`nodes_to_science_data` consumes the tree in this priority order:
+`nodes_to_science_data` accepts typed `results.json` plus identity-matching
+`node_report.json`. Missing or tampered reports make interpretation unavailable;

+`python scripts/migrate_science_data.py SOURCE OUTPUT --run-id RUN`.

-2. `trace_log` tool outputs from the agent loop (legacy fallback).
-3. Source files collected from each node's `work_dir` (last-resort
-   when reports are missing).
-
-Truncation budgets keep the prompt within the LLM context window:
-node-report blocks are capped at 65 KB total, individual tool
-outputs at 2–3 KB per node.
+The model prompt uses the same report-driven source selection as EAR code
+publication and is capped before dispatch. Raw model bytes are stored as a
+content-addressed artifact rather than inline trace text.

+# Transform prompts
+
+`science_interpretation.md` is the static, reviewable prompt for the optional
+model annotation of canonical node reports. Runtime evidence replaces only the
+two `__ARI_*__` sentinels and is bounded before dispatch. Model output remains
+outside claim-eligible raw and derived scientific data.

+You are a scientific analyst. Read the following structured node reports
+(search trajectory; each node lists its delta_vs_parent, files added/modified,
+headline metric, concerns flagged by the evaluator, and the literal build/run
+commands) and the verbatim source files from the contributing chain, then
+extract what a peer reviewer needs to evaluate this work.
+
+Include only scientifically meaningful content: successful measurements, key
+improvements, ablation insights, and validated results. Omit failed runs and
+internal system details.
+
+Return ONLY valid JSON with these keys:
+  'evaluation_protocol': {domain, primary_metrics[], required_reporting[], standard_baselines[], ablation_axes[]}
+  'experiment_context': {hardware, methodology, findings, implementation_details, ...}
+    The 'hardware' field MUST be filled from the 'ran_on:' lines in the node
+    reports — combine the executor type, hostname, SLURM partition, CPU model,
+    thread count, and memory across contributing nodes. If different nodes ran
+    on different hosts, list them. Do NOT write 'not recorded' when ran_on data
+    is present in the reports.
+  'implementation_overview' (OPTIONAL): {architecture: '1-3 sentence prose summary', key_algorithms: [{name, pseudocode}], optimizations: ['…']}.
+    Omit this whole key if the reports do not contain enough material. Do NOT
+    include source code verbatim under this key — code lives in ear/code/.
+
+Extract ONLY what is actually present below. Do not invent details. If
+information was not captured, write 'not recorded'.

 # ari-skill-vlm
 
-Vision LLM (VLM) review of figures and tables in generated papers.
-Does **not** generate figures (`ari-skill-plot` does that) — it
-reads the rendered output and returns critique that the paper
-revision loop can act on.
+Artifact-bound multimodal review for scientific figures and tables. The skill
+does not generate or rewrite content. It verifies the target bytes against a
+canonical manifest, applies a versioned criterion profile, stores the raw model
+response, and returns `VisualReviewV1` or `VisualReviewBatchV1`.
 
-## Responsibilities
+## MCP tools
 
-- **Figure review**: load a PNG, base64-encode it, send it through
-  the VLM with the paper context, and return a structured critique
-  (axis labels, units, legend, readability, alignment with the
-  caption text).
-- **Table review**: send the rendered LaTeX / Markdown table to the
-  VLM as text and apply the same critique pass.
-- **Batch review**: walk a paper directory, find every figure /
-  table, run both passes, and return one consolidated report.
+- `review_figure(figures_manifest_path, figure_id, ...)` selects one figure
+  from a verified `FigureBatchV1`; arbitrary image paths are not accepted.
+- `review_figures_all(figures_manifest_path, ...)` reviews every manifest
+  entry with bounded bytes, calls, output tokens, and concurrency. Individual
+  failures remain in `reviews`; aggregate score is minimum/fail-closed.
+- `review_table(request)` reviews a digest-bound image or UTF-8 LaTeX/Markdown
+  artifact under a closed `WorkspaceRefV1`.
 
-## Internal API
+## Contract
 
-`mcp.json` does not list public tools yet — the skill is invoked
-from `ari-skill-paper.review_compiled_paper` and via the internal
-ARI loop.  The relevant entry points in `src/server.py`:
+`VisualReviewV1` records target/manifest/context/profile digests, stable figure
+ID and revision, issues with severity and optional normalized region, exact
+model/provider/revision, sampling, token/cost status, prompt digest, and a raw
+response artifact. Invalid JSON/schema is `status=schema-error`; it is never
+repaired or converted into an empty success.
 
-| Function | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `review_figure(image_path, context)` | Single-figure critique |
-| `review_table(table_text, context)` | Single-table critique |
-| `review_paper_figures(paper_dir)` | Batch over a paper directory |
-
-When external exposure is added, both `mcp.json` and this README
-should be updated together.
-
-## VLM prompt strategy
-
-- **Figures**: image base64-encoded into the VLM message; prompt
-  asks for axis labels, units, legend completeness, readability of
-  small text, and consistency with the caption.
-- **Tables**: LaTeX / Markdown source sent as text; prompt focuses
-  on column alignment, missing units, decimal precision, and
-  agreement with the body text.
-- **Output**: structured JSON with `issues: [{kind, severity,
-  rationale, suggestion}]`.
-
-## Environment variables
+Built-in profiles are immutable:
 
-| Variable | Purpose | Default |
-|---|---|---|
-| `VLM_MODEL` | Vision LLM identifier (LiteLLM format) | `openai/gpt-4o` |
-| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Required when the VLM is OpenAI-hosted | (none) |
+- `figure-publication/v1`
+- `figure-domain-integrity/v1`
+- `table-publication/v1`
 
-## Dependencies
+PNG, JPEG, and WebP targets are limited to 20 MiB, 8192 pixels per dimension,
+40 million pixels, and 64 KiB metadata. Corrupt, unsupported, oversized,
+missing, or digest-mismatched targets return typed failures. Base64 image data
+is sent only in the model request and is never returned or written to logs.

-The skill is a P2 exception — VLM output is non-deterministic, so
-the same image can produce different critiques on different runs.
-Down-stream consumers (`review_compiled_paper`) merge the VLM
-output with the rubric review to dampen the variance.
+The prompts live in `src/prompts/`. Review artifacts are content-addressed
+under `.ari-vlm/reviews/` inside the batch/table workspace.

-# ari-skill-vlm Requirements
-
-## Overview
-
-MCP Server for reviewing figures and tables using a Vision Language Model (VLM).
-Automatically evaluates figure quality in academic papers.
-
-## MCP Tools
-
-### review_figure(image_path: str, context: str = "") -> dict
-Reviews a figure using VLM. Returns quality assessment and suggestions.
-
-### review_table(table_tex: str, context: str = "") -> dict
-Reviews a LaTeX table for clarity and correctness.
-
-## Design
-
-- Uses qwen2.5vl or equivalent VLM via Ollama
-- Called in post-BFTS pipeline only
+# ari-skill-vlm requirements
+
+The runtime requires native `FigureBatchV1` or a closed table-artifact request,
+an explicit visual model, immutable criterion profiles, strict JSON output,
+content-addressed raw responses, typed per-target failures, and bounded image,
+token, call, byte, and concurrency budgets. Filesystem naming heuristics,
+schema repair, inline raw/base64 results, and ad-hoc paper normalization are
+unsupported.

-MCP server package for the VLM skill — vision-LLM review of figures and tables
-in generated papers. It reads rendered output and returns critique; it does not
-generate figures. `__init__.py` is empty; the package is imported as `src`.
+- `server.py` — three MCP adapters and failure-preserving batch aggregation.
+- `artifacts.py` — FigureBatch resolution, digest/size/image verification.
+- `criteria.py` — immutable figure/table/domain criterion profiles.
+- `review.py` — bounded model call, strict schema parse, raw artifact and usage provenance.
+- `prompts/` — externalized figure and table review instructions.
 
-## Contents
-
-- `README.md` — this file.
-- `__init__.py` — empty package marker.
-- `server.py` — MCP entry point for figure / table / batch review.
-
-## See also
-
-- The skill root `README.md` and the `server.py` module docstring for the tools & outward interface.
+The runtime has no raster-sibling guessing, manifest fallback, markdown-fence
+repair, or empty-success conversion.

 # ari-skill-web
 
-MCP skill for web search, URL fetching, and reference-graph traversal.
-
-**P2 status:** the skill itself does not call an LLM, but the
-underlying search APIs return time-varying results.  Pin retrieval
-output into the checkpoint when reproducibility matters (P5).
-
-## Tools
-
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `web_search` | DuckDuckGo web search (no API key required) |
-| `fetch_url` | Fetch a URL, extract readable text and title |
-| `search_arxiv` | Direct arXiv search (faster than `survey`) |
-| `search_semantic_scholar` | Semantic Scholar API search |
-| `collect_references_iterative` | Walk the citation graph from a seed paper |
-
-## Environment variables
-
-| Variable | Purpose | Default |
-|---|---|---|
-| `ARI_RETRIEVAL_BACKEND` | Default backend (`semantic_scholar` / `arxiv` / `alphaxiv`) | `semantic_scholar` |
-| `ARI_ALPHAXIV_ENDPOINT` | Endpoint for the `alphaxiv` backend | (none) |
-| `ARI_LLM_MODEL` | LLM for future re-ranking (currently unused) | (none) |
-| `LLM_MODEL` | Cross-skill fallback | (none) |
-| `ARI_LLM_API_BASE` | LiteLLM API base override | LiteLLM default |
-
-## Backend switching
-
-`web_search` always uses DuckDuckGo.  `search_arxiv` and
-`search_semantic_scholar` hit their respective APIs directly.  When
-`survey` from `ari-skill-idea` aggregates results, it picks the
-backend declared in `ARI_RETRIEVAL_BACKEND`.
-
-## Phase availability
-
-This skill is gated to the `paper` and `reproduce` phases (see
-`config/workflow.yaml`), so it is **not** exposed during BFTS node
-exploration by default — that keeps the search trajectory reproducible
-(P5), since live search results are time-varying. To opt in (e.g. to let
-the experiment agent track the latest literature mid-search), set
-`ARI_BFTS_ALLOW_WEB=1` (or `bfts.allow_web: true`). When enabled, ARI
-records a non-reproducible-trajectory marker (`bfts_web_provenance.json`)
-in the checkpoint. Note: `ari-skill-idea`'s `survey` already provides a
-bounded prior-work lookup at idea time regardless of this flag.
-
-## Determinism caveat
-
-DuckDuckGo, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar all return time-varying
-results (the index moves under your feet).  For reproducibility:
-
-- Persist the call results into the checkpoint (the orchestrator
-  does this automatically via the EAR pipeline).
-- Re-runs that need byte-for-byte identical results should `ari
-  clone` the previously published bundle rather than re-querying
-  the live APIs.
-
-This is the P5 (reproducibility) principle — see
-`docs/concepts/PHILOSOPHY.md`.
-
-## Tests
+Provider-neutral web and literature retrieval for ARI. The canonical tools emit
+`RetrievalRecordV1` records inside a digest-bound `SurveySnapshotV1`; they do not
+decide whether a source is scientifically relevant.
+
+## Canonical tools
+
+| Tool | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `search_papers` | Search one pinned Semantic Scholar, arXiv, or AlphaXiv provider |
+| `web_search` | Search DuckDuckGo |
+| `fetch_url` | Fetch untrusted text through the URL security policy |
+| `walk_citations` | Traverse a bounded Semantic Scholar citation graph |
+| `rerank_retrieval_records` | Explicit optional LLM reranker with model provenance |
+
+Provider selection is explicit: pass `provider` to `search_papers`. The former
+narrow search aliases, mutable backend selector, and stochastic iterative
+collector were removed after their P6 migration window; composition belongs in
+the workflow or broker rather than this retrieval skill.
+
+## Live, record, and replay
+
+- `live` calls one provider and returns a non-reproducible snapshot without
+  writing artifacts.
+- `record` requires `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR`. It writes a content-addressed raw
+  cassette, optional raw body, and immutable normalized snapshot.
+- `replay` requires the returned checkpoint-relative `snapshot_ref`, performs
+  no network call, verifies every artifact digest and call parameter, and
+  returns the exact recorded normalized records.
+
+Provider failure is explicit. A call never changes from Semantic Scholar to
+arXiv or accepts a partially successful composite provider behind the caller's
+back.
+
+## URL security
+
+`fetch_url` accepts only HTTP(S) on ports 80/443. It rejects userinfo and every
+DNS answer that is private, loopback, link-local, or otherwise non-global; pins
+the validated IP for the socket; revalidates each redirect; rejects HTTPS
+downgrades; and enforces redirect, byte, and content-type limits. Returned page
+text is labelled as untrusted external data.
+
+See [the retrieval contract](../docs/reference/retrieval_contract.md) for the
+wire format, artifact layout, and consumer rules.
+
+## Environment
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR` | Required root for `record` and `replay` |
+| `ARI_RETRIEVAL_BACKEND` | Default provider used when `provider` is omitted |
+| `ARI_ALPHAXIV_ENDPOINT` | AlphaXiv MCP endpoint |
+| `SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY` / `S2_API_KEY` | Optional Semantic Scholar credential |
+| `ARI_LLM_MODEL`, `ARI_LLM_API_BASE` | Used only by explicit stochastic tools |
+
+## Verification
 
 ```bash
-pytest tests/test_server.py -q              # per-backend tests
-pytest tests/test_collect_references.py -q  # citation walk
+pytest -q ari-skill-web/tests
+ruff check ari-skill-web/src ari-skill-web/tests

-# ari-skill-web Requirements
-
-## Overview
-
-MCP skill server for web search and page fetching.
-
-**Design Principle P2 compliant: No LLM calls. Fully deterministic.**
-
-## Tools
-
-### web_search(query, n=5)
-- Provider: DuckDuckGo (via `ddgs` library)
-- No API key required
-- Returns: `results: list[{title, url, snippet}]`
-
-### fetch_url(url, max_chars=8000)
-- Fetches an HTTP(S) URL and extracts readable text
-- Uses BeautifulSoup for HTML cleaning
-- Returns: `{text, title, url}`
-
-### search_arxiv(query, max_results=5)
-- Direct arXiv search (faster than survey() in ari-skill-idea)
-- Supports arXiv query syntax: `ti:`, `au:`, `abs:`
-- Returns: `papers: list[{title, authors, abstract, url, published}]`
-
-## Integration with Pipeline
-
-The `search_related_work` pipeline stage calls `search_arxiv` directly.
-The query is pre-built by `_extract_keywords_from_nodes()` in `pipeline.py`
-(which reads `nodes_tree.json`). The web skill itself has no knowledge of BFTS
-node structures — keyword extraction is the pipeline's responsibility.
+# ari-skill-web requirements
+
+## Responsibility
+
+The Skill owns retrieval, provider normalization, provenance, record/replay,
+URL safety, and bounded citation traversal. Scientific source selection and
+idea generation are separate responsibilities.
+
+## Required behavior
+
+1. Every canonical result uses `RetrievalRecordV1` and `SurveySnapshotV1`.
+2. A call selects exactly one provider. Outage must be an explicit error; no
+   provider fallback or partial composite success is permitted.
+3. `record` requires a checkpoint and writes content-addressed raw and
+   normalized artifacts. `replay` is offline and verifies snapshot, artifact,
+   provider, query, operation, and parameter identity.
+4. DOI, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar identities are aliases. Provider records
+   remain distinct so merging does not erase lineage.
+5. URL fetching must reject SSRF destinations and DNS rebinding, revalidate
+   redirects, cap redirects/body size, allow only textual media, and label
+   external text as untrusted.
+6. Citation traversal must enforce depth, node, and request budgets, detect
+   cycles, and return an explicit bounded partial result when a budget ends.
+7. Deterministic retrieval must never call an LLM. The separate reranker must
+   record model, API identity, prompt, input, and output digests.
+8. Idea and paper consumers must accept verified snapshot references. A typed
+   result without a recorded reference cannot downgrade to inline paper data.

 # ari-skill-web/src
 
-MCP server package for the web skill — web search, URL fetching, and
-citation-graph traversal (P2: no LLM, but search APIs are time-varying). No
-`__init__.py`; `server.py` is the entry point.
-
-## Contents
-
-- `README.md` — this file.
-- `server.py` — the only module; exposes `web_search`, `fetch_url`, `search_arxiv`, `search_semantic_scholar`, `collect_references_iterative`.
-
-## See also
-
-- The skill root `README.md` and the `server.py` module docstring for the tools & outward interface.
+- `server.py` exposes the MCP tools and provider adapters.
+- `retrieval.py` normalizes `RetrievalRecordV1` values and implements
+  content-addressed record/replay.
+- `network_policy.py` implements pinned-address HTTP fetching, redirect
+  revalidation, and response limits.
+
+Deterministic retrieval paths do not call a model. The explicit reranker and
+legacy iterative collector are declared stochastic in `skill.yaml`.

-Pytest suite for the web skill (search / fetch / reference-graph traversal).
+- `test_retrieval_contract.py` covers provider parity, aliases, outage, and
+  offline/tamper-resistant cassette replay.
+- `test_network_policy.py` covers SSRF, DNS pinning, redirects, media, and size.
+- `test_citation_and_rerank.py` covers cycle/budget bounds and explicit model
+  provenance.
+- `test_server.py` and `test_collect_references.py` cover compatibility tools.
 
-## Contents
-
-- `README.md` — this file.
-- `test_collect_references.py` — citation-graph traversal (`collect_references_iterative`).
-- `test_server.py` — exercises `web_search`, `fetch_url`, `search_arxiv`, `search_semantic_scholar`.
+All provider calls use fixed mocks; the test suite never depends on live search.

+昇格しません。
+
+決定論的hard gateは`GateReportV1`を返します。run、policy、evidence、metric contract、
+数式実装、制限付き式評価器、unit変換のdigestを固定し、`blocking_findings`と
+`advisory_findings`を分離します。canonical runでは同じrun/nodeの`MeasurementSetV1`と、
+run id・node id・相対path・SHA-256を持つartifactだけを使用します。欠落、改変、未bind、
+cross-run、untypedな証拠や未知unitを推測しません。`off`は所見を記録してもblockせず、
+final phaseだけがfinalizeを止められます。
+
+`SemanticReviewV1`は独立model/revision、prompt digest、evidence digest、hard-gate digestを
+記録する非ブロッキング助言です。hard gateを変更できず、失敗は`status: unavailable`です。
+
+pre-v1契約・reportは保守的な明示migration readerで読み、未記録の来歴を再構成しません。
+`ari.calibration/evaluator_v1.json`はnumeric、unit、formula、evidence、policyのCIケースと、
+人手ラベル付きsemantic positive/negative controlを保持します。公開APIは
+`ari.public.evaluation`、schemaは`ari-core/ari/schemas/`です。

+# 実行・測定契約
+
+ARI は workspace、local/container process、完全 log、科学測定に
+`ari.public.execution` の共通契約を使用します。scheduler lifecycle は引き続き
+`ari-skill-hpc` が所有します。
+
+## 閉じた workspace
+
+`WorkspaceRefV1` は canonical absolute root を一つ固定します。`..`、root 外の
+absolute path、symlink 経由の escape を拒否します。read/write は directory file
+descriptor と `O_NOFOLLOW` で各 path component を辿り、write は private temporary
+file、`fsync`、atomic rename を使います。拒否した path を basename に変換して
+別の場所へ書く fallback はありません。
+
+これは ARI tool と宣言済み input/artifact に対する file-access boundary であり、
+任意の child code に対する host filesystem sandbox ではありません。ARI service
+account と同等に信頼できない code には、審査済み container、scheduler isolation、
+または OS sandbox が必要で、選択した substrate より強い隔離を結果に記録しません。
+
+## 実行要求と結果
+
+`ExecutionRequestV1` は structured `argv` と明示的 `shell_command` のどちらか
+一つ、workspace、timeout、最小 environment、CPU/memory/process/output limit、
+network policy、input digest、container identity を持ちます。script operand は
+launch 前に digest を検証し、private immutable snapshot に差し替えます。
+
+親 process の environment は複製しません。host 上で `network: deny` を証明
+できない場合は拒否します。Docker/Apptainer/Singularity adapter は runtime の
+network isolation argv が明示される場合だけ deny を記録し、clean environment
+を使い、未知の runtime から host へ暗黙 fallback しません。
+
+`ExecutionResultV1` の `execution_identity` は同一 request の retry 間で不変、
+`attempt_id` は launch ごとに一意です。timeout/cancel は process group 全体を
+終了・回収します。要求 limit と実際に kernel/executor が強制した
+`limit_report` は別に記録し、強制不能な要求は fail closed です。
+
+要求値 `network` と実施結果 `network_report` も分離し、後者は `inherited`、
+`isolated`、`external-unverified` のいずれかです。外部 launcher の出力を正規化しても、
+要求した deny を検証済み isolation として黙って扱えません。
+
+stdout/stderr の inline 部分は bounded preview です。完全 byte stream は常に
+`.ari-execution/` の content-addressed artifact として digest/size 付きで残ります。
+
+## 測定
+
+`MeasurementSetV1` は parameter、measurement、prediction、score を重ならない
+namespace に分離します。各 `MeasurementRecordV1` は有限な数値、unit または
+`unit_status: missing`、provenance、parameter、execution identity/status/exit code、
+execution attempt、根拠 artifact digest を保持します。unit や provenance は推測しません。
+
+`coding-skill.emit_results` は canonical object だけを `measurement_set` に書きます。
+非有限値や JSON で表せない値を文字列へ coercion せず拒否します。共通 parser は旧
+v1 / unversioned file を read-only migration input として引き続き読み、過去の混在
+document に両方の表現がある場合は照合して split-brain を拒否します。
+
+coding-skill の `scientifically_admissible` は、測定が一件以上あり、すべてに unit、
+成功した zero-exit execution identity、根拠 artifact がある場合だけ true です。
+これは domain validity の代替ではなく、後段 evaluator gate も必要です。
+
+execution context には推測不能なserver-issued receiptを含めます。emit時にworkspace、
+execution attempt、status、exit code、artifact listをreceiptと照合し、全artifactを再hash
+します。偽造context、server session終了後のreceipt、変更済みlogはresults fileを書く前に
+fail closedとなり、receipt自体は科学recordへ保存しません。
+
+生成 schema は `workspace_ref_v1.schema.json`、`execution_request_v1.schema.json`、
+`execution_result_v1.schema.json`、`measurement_set_v1.schema.json` です。
+`python scripts/sync_skill_metadata.py` が drift を検査します。flat writer/coercion は
+削除済みです。legacy reader は意図的に read-only とし、compatibility support policyで
+再評価時点を管理します。

+# 科学図と視覚レビューの契約
+
+ARIは図の生成と視覚的な判定を分離します。描画された図のbyte列を所有するのは
+`ari-skill-plot`だけです。`ari-skill-vlm`はimmutableなartifactを読み、書き換えずに
+findingを報告します。安定したPython importは`ari.public.figures`と
+`ari.public.visual_review`から公開されます。
+
+## 図のidentity
+
+`FigureSpecV1`はdeclarativeな仕様です。有限で正確なdata sliceとsource artifactの
+digestを、field、unit、scale、aggregation、uncertainty、caption、固定style profileへ
+結び付けます。Python、SVG、shell、path、埋め込み画像payloadは受け付けません。
+modelが提案できるのはadmission済みfieldだけで、すべての数値と出力byteは固定rendererが
+所有します。
+
+`FigureManifestV1`は仕様をsource-data/spec/PNG/PDF artifactと結び付け、renderer、
+Python、Matplotlib/backend、platform、font byte、任意のcontainer identityを含む
+`FigureEnvironmentV1`を記録します。LLMが計画した図では、正確なpromptとraw responseも
+保持します。`FigureBatchV1`では、すべてのID/path/LaTeX/kind mapがmanifestと一致しなければ
+なりません。
+
+描画はclosed workspace、固定`Agg` backend、上限付きdimension/row、atomic writeで行います。
+schemaのないlegacy manifestは明示的なoffline readerだけが受け付け、新しいproducerはv1だけを
+出力します。
+
+## Feedback lineage
+
+`FigureFeedbackV1`は1つのreview digestを、正確に1つのparent manifestと次の1 revisionへ
+結び付けます。revisionは最大2回で、以前のartifactを保持し、figure IDをまたげません。
+再描画では科学的証拠を上書きせず、必ず新しいmanifestとbatch digestを作ります。
+
+## 視覚レビュー
+
+各`VisualReviewV1`は次を結び付けます。
+
+- 対象artifactの正確なbyte、figure/manifest identity、context digest
+- version付きcriteria-profile IDとdigest
+- severity、evidence、suggestion、任意regionを持つstructured issue
+- provider/model/revision、prompt digest、sampling、token/cost status、content-addressedな
+  raw model response
+- 上限内scoreを持つ`completed`、または明示的に型付けされたartifact/limit/model/schema error
+
+serverはmodel call前に対象byteを読み直し、sizeとdigestを検証します。未対応、破損、過大、欠落、
+変更済みのartifactは失敗であり、空の成功レビューにはなりません。model JSONはstrictに検証され、
+不正なresponseはraw byteを保持した`schema-error`になります。
+
+`VisualReviewBatchV1`は`minimum-fail-closed`を採用します。すべての対象を残し、1件でも失敗すれば
+batch scoreは0、そうでなければ個別scoreの最小値です。publication consumerはそのscoreを明示的な
+`VisualCriteriaProfileV1.passing_score`と比較しなければなりません。`PaperBuildV1`はobserved scoreと
+required scoreの両方を記録します。
+
+## 削除済み経路とrollback
+
+runtimeは、生成plot codeの実行、filenameからのraster sibling推測、inline base64 targetの受理、
+不正なmodel出力の成功扱い、paper SkillでのVLM結果のad-hoc正規化を行いません。benchmark側の
+重複plottingはcanonical rendererへ置換しました。公開済みv1契約と隔離されたlegacy manifest
+readerはreplay用に残します。削除したproducer経路はsilentなcompatibility fallbackではなく、
+migration前component commitのrevertでのみ復旧します。
+

+# 研究メモリ契約
+
+ARI のメモリは lineage スコープの索引であり、科学的証拠そのものではありません。
+保存形式は `ari.memory-record/v1`、検索応答は
+`ari.memory-retrieval/v1`、portable snapshot は `ari.memory-backup/v1` です。
+JSON Schema は
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/memory_record_v1.schema.json` と
+`memory_retrieval_v1.schema.json`、`memory_backup_v1.schema.json` にあります。
+
+## 不変レコード
+
+`MemoryRecordV1` は kind/text を source run/node、順序付き ancestor、
+artifact、node report、単位付き metric、confidence、再現性 event、作成 tool
+に束縛します。`record_id` と `record_digest` は正規化 payload に対する同一の
+SHA-256 content address です。検索と restore は再検証し、改変を拒否します。
+
+artifact ref は安全な相対 path、完全な SHA-256、byte size、role、
+`verified`/`unverified` を持ちます。writer が宣言 root 配下の実ファイルを読み、
+digest が一致した場合だけ `verified` になります。metric には明示 unit、node
+report ref には report digest が必須です。memory text や `unverified` ref だけを
+論文の証拠にはできません。
+
+write は append-only で record digest により冪等です。再現性状態は対象を更新せず、
+新しい `reproducibility_event` として追加します。公開 MCP に clear/delete tool は
+ありません。明示的 restore や配備復旧用の checkpoint purge だけを管理 API に残します。
+
+## 検索プロヴェナンス
+
+全検索は backend、client/server version、embedding model/version、ranking、
+determinism、query digest、candidate/return count、上限、filter evidence を返します。
+Letta の embedding rank は非決定的と明記されます。型付き filter は可変 projection
+ではなく検証済み canonical record を使い、旧 unversioned row は除外します。
+
+## backup、restore、migration
+
+`ari memory backup` は root digest、ソート済み record digest index、検証対象の
+logical record order、ReAct entry digest を持つ決定的な
+`memory_backup.v1.json.gz` を作ります。restore は書込み前に
+文書全体を検証し、`skip` / `merge` / `overwrite` を提供します。record は content
+digest で重複排除され、別の clean Letta 配備へ移せます。
+
+run/resume は legacy file を読みません。v0.5 JSONL は明示的な
+`ari memory migrate` で検証・v1 変換し、portable backup の成功後に元ファイルを
+archive します。実験横断 global memory は警告対象ですが import しません。
+
+## 配備サポート
+
+production はすべて Letta です。`InMemoryBackend` は test marker が必要で、workflow
+から選べません。
+
+| mode | status | scope / gate |
+|---|---|---|
+| Letta Cloud | サポート | HTTPS endpoint/API key、health check 必須 |
+| Docker Compose | サポート、local workstation 推奨 | Postgres compose と clean-start test |
+| Apptainer / Singularity | サポート、HPC 推奨 | portable start script、env/runtime check |
+| pip | サポート fallback | containerless local server、静的 clean-launch test。失敗した container path から暗黙 fallback しない |
+
+support owner は ARI maintainers です。pip は containerless host のため維持し、配備 issue
+と利用報告に基づき v1.1 で再評価します。test backend への暗黙 fallback は禁止です。
+
+## consumer rule
+
+論文・図の主張には `get_verified_context` を使います。未検証 memory は補助情報として
+表示できますが、全 artifact が verified で、最新の再実行 event が
+`rerun_failed` でない record だけが `usable_for_claims` に入ります。

+# Orchestrator control plane
+
+`ari-skill-orchestrator`はARIの外部向けasynchronous control surfaceです。submission、status、
+cancellation、lineage quota、authorization、安全なresult retrievalを所有します。BFTS内部や
+federated leaf-tool selectionは所有しません。
+
+## 公開契約
+
+すべてのmodelはunknown fieldを拒否し、`ari-skill-orchestrator/schemas/`へcheck-inされています。
+
+- `RunRequestV1`はexperiment text、idempotency key、parent、model profile、すべての
+  recursion/resource/cost limitを`request_digest`へbindします。
+- `RunHandleV1`は正確なrun、owner、root、depth、現在stateを識別します。
+- `RunStatusV1`はtimestamp、exit/error state、上限付きnode progress、lineage budget usageを加えます。
+- `RunResultV1`はstatusと`ArtifactRefV1`値を返します。
+- `ArtifactRefV1`は検証済み`sha256:…` digestを`artifact_id`として使い、role、media type、sizeを
+  含みますがfilesystem pathは含みません。
+
+lifecycleは次の通りです。
+
+```text
+submitted -> running -> succeeded | failed
+                     -> cancelling -> cancelled | succeeded | failed
+submitted -------------------------> cancelled | failed
+```
+
+terminal rowはimmutableです。state transitionとappend-only event recordは`BEGIN IMMEDIATE`、WAL、
+full synchronizationを使って`logs/.ari-orchestrator/runs.sqlite3`へcommitされます。正確な
+`(principal_id, idempotency_key)` retryでは、request digestが等しければ既存handleを返し、異なれば
+失敗します。
+
+## Restartとcancellation
+
+各runは新しいprocess sessionで小さなwrapperを開始します。wrapperは独自child process groupで
+`ari run`を起動し、`run_id`と`request_digest`にbindされたreceiptをatomicに記録します。wrapperと
+childのidentityは`/proc` start tickを含むため、再利用されたPIDへsignalせず、evidenceとしても
+受け入れません。restart時は次のように処理します。
+
+- 生存しidentityが一致するwrapperは`running`のままです。
+- 有効なterminal receiptは記録済みterminal stateを確定します。
+- terminal receiptなしでprocessが消えた場合はfail closedします。
+- `submitted` rowは自動再launchせず、scienceの重複実行を防ぎます。
+
+`stop_experiment`は最初に`cancelling`を記録し、wrapperへsignalを送り、上限付きgrace intervalを
+待った後、必要ならidentityを再検証してchild/wrapper process groupをkillします。
+
+durable process executionには現在Linux `/proc`が必要です。platformが`sched_setaffinity`を
+提供する場合、wrapperは宣言CPU数をprocess affinityへ適用し、childへ共通OpenMP/BLAS thread上限を
+設定します。各runにはmode 0700のprivate `HOME`を与えます。timeout enforcementはexperimentへ
+委譲せずwrapperが所有します。
+
+## Authorizationとtransport
+
+stdioは`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_PRINCIPAL_ID`と、任意のcomma-separated role
+`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_PRINCIPAL_ROLES`を使います。run ownerは自身のrecordへaccessでき、`admin` roleは
+すべてを検査できます。status detail、artifact discovery、cancellation、lock inspectionより前に
+authorizationを行います。
+
+stdioとMCP Streamable HTTPは同じfunction/serviceを呼びます。Streamable HTTPはdefaultで
+`127.0.0.1`へbindし、`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_HTTP_TOKENS_FILE`を必須とします。このfileはsymlinkでなく
+mode 0600でなければなりません。
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "ari.orchestrator-token-digests/v1",
+  "tokens": [
+    {
+      "token_sha256": "<64 lowercase hex characters>",
+      "principal_id": "automation-user",
+      "roles": []
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+保存するのはtoken digestだけです。adapterはMCP SDKの`TokenVerifier`を実装するため、toolやservice
+semanticsを変えずにlocal fileをOAuth resource-server verifierへ置換できます。issuer/resource
+metadataは`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_OAUTH_ISSUER_URL`と`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_OAUTH_RESOURCE_URL`で設定します。
+
+## Quota
+
+各requestはper-run/lineage boundを宣言します。deployment ceilingは次の通りです。
+
+| Environment variable | Default |
+|---|---:|
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_ACTIVE_RUNS` | 16 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_NODES_PER_RUN` | 1000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_TOTAL_NODES` | 10000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_DESCENDANT_RUNS` | 1000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_COST_USD` | 10000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_CPUS` | 256 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_TIMEOUT_MINUTES` | 2880 |
+
+registryはparentからchild depthを導出し、root-lineageのrun、node、estimated-cost consumptionをatomicに
+検査します。callerはancestorのdepth limitを増やせません。違反時はrun rowもcheckpointも作りません。
+
+これらはadmission/execution boundでありcontainer boundaryではありません。`estimated_cost_usd`は
+caller宣言値で、このserviceはmemory/GPU isolationを提供しません。experiment processは
+orchestratorのUnix identityと設定済みworkspace accessで動きます。untrustedまたは相互に敵対する
+workloadには、このcontrol plane外のcontainer、scheduler、別executor identityが必要です。
+
+## Artifact admission
+
+公開APIはfilenameを受け付けません。closed setのroot outputだけをadmitし、EAR fileは検証済み
+`evidence.index.json`または`ear_published/manifest.lock` v2を通じてのみ追加します。discoveryは
+traversal、symlink（parent componentを含む）、non-regular file、secret風name、record欠落、余分な
+published file、size drift、digest driftを拒否します。read時にcontentを再hashし、inline payloadは
+2 MiBに制限します。より大きいartifactはdigestでlistできますが`read_artifact`からdownloadできません。
+deploymentは別途authorizationされたartifact storeで公開する必要があります。
+
+`list_skills(run_id)`と`get_workflow(run_id)`には有効なrun-bound `SKILLS.lock`が必要です。返すのは
+identity/digest/phase membershipだけで、entrypoint path、environment名、credential scope、raw schema、
+LLM configuration、resourceは返しません。
+
+## Credentialとenvironment boundary
+
+launcherは`ari.public.execution.build_minimal_environment`を使い、parent environment全体をcopyしません。
+model credentialはmanifestの`model.provider` scopeだけを通れます。credential値はchild processが
+memory上でinheritしますが、request JSON、SQLite、metadata、argv、runner receiptには現れません。
+tool schemaにAPI-key argumentはありません。per-run private `HOME`はshared home経由の通常credential/
+cache再利用を防ぎますが、OS-level isolationの代替ではありません。
+
+## Migrationと削除
+
+通常のstatus/list callはcheckpoint directoryをscanしません。controlled migrationには
+`python ari-skill-orchestrator/src/server.py --repair-registry`を実行します。これは`experiment.md`を持つ
+安全なdirect-child checkpointだけをimportします。ambiguousまたはapparently liveなlegacy stateは
+`failed`となり、再launchされません。検証後、release support windowに従って古いcheckpoint metadata
+readerを削除します。
+
+version 2ではarbitraryな`read_file`/`list_files`、substring run matching、environment copy、raw
+workflow/Skill configuration、request-level credential、scan由来live state、独自REST/SSE実装を
+削除しました。network adapterはauthenticated MCP Streamable HTTPだけです。

+# Paper build契約
+
+`PaperBuildV1`はARIが執筆した科学論文のimmutableなrecordです。JSON Schemaは
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/paper_build_v1.schema.json`で公開され、Skill向けPython importは
+`ari.public.paper`から利用できます。
+
+## Build lifecycle
+
+1. `write_paper_iterative`は単一`WorkspaceRefV1`配下のnative evidenceを検証し、すべての
+   authoring callを保存して`.ari-paper/paper_build.draft.json`を書きます。
+2. text、visual、semantic、hard-gate reviewを独立に実行します。
+3. `paper_refine`は一意でanchor-safeな置換だけを適用し、digest-boundな
+   `PaperModelCallBatchV1`を保存します。
+4. code availabilityをdeterministicに挿入します。
+5. 挿入後の正確なTeXに対してclaim link、semantic review、hard gate、compileを再実行します。
+6. `finalize_paper_build`はevidence graphを再計算・検証し、statusが`finalized`、`blocked`、
+   `compile-error`のいずれかである`paper_build.json`を書きます。
+
+科学論文buildとして成功なのは`finalized`だけです。blocked recordはMCP toolが失敗を返す前に
+永続化されるため、理由をauditできます。
+
+## 必須evidence
+
+authoring input setは次の一意なroleを持ちます。
+
+- `science-data` — nativeでdigest-boundな`ScienceDataV1`
+- `figure-batch` — fixed-rendererの`FigureBatchV1`
+- `retrieval-records` — `snapshot_ref`からsnapshotとcassetteを再現できる
+  `ari.retrieval-result/v1`
+- `ear-manifest` — `evidence_index_digest`を持つEAR生成結果
+- `template`と`rubric` — このbuild用に選ばれた正確なbyte
+
+finalizationでは各inputを読み直し、sizeとSHA-256をdraft recordと比較します。authoring後の
+input変更はhard errorです。
+
+## Revisionとmodel provenance
+
+各revisionは直接のparentへ結び付け、次を記録します。
+
+- 正確なTeXとBibTeX artifact
+- reasonと対応するmodel-call ID
+- claim anchor、citation key、canonical figure ID、math digest
+
+各stochastic callは、別々の`prompt`と`raw-model-response` artifactに加え、provider、model、
+任意のimmutable revision、sampling値、token count、報告costを保存します。multi-pass refinementは
+`PaperModelCallBatchV1`を使い、各network callを個別itemとして残します。
+
+最後のtransformationがadmission済みanchor、citation、figureを落とす、または数式内容を変えると、
+finalizerはfinalizeを拒否します。以前の単一refinement-call record用readerはread-onlyで残し、
+新しいproducerは常にbatch schemaを出力します。
+
+## Claim coverage
+
+共有lexical parserは`ari.public.latex_claims`です。paper固有bindingは
+`ari-skill-paper/src/claim_links.py`で、次を持つ`ari.paper-claim-links/v1`を出力します。
+
+- final TeX digest
+- resolved/unresolved anchor
+- 分類済みnumeric mentionと未coverのresult mention
+- writerが宣言したformula operand
+- canonical figure reference
+- document全体のdigest
+
+finalizationはこのintermediaryを信用せず、locked ScienceData、FigureBatch、final TeXからdocument全体を
+再計算します。finalized buildではunresolved anchorもuncovered numeric result mentionも0です。
+明示的なnumeric exclusionにはcontent-addressedなexclusion policyが必要で、default pipelineは
+exclusionを作りません。
+
+## 独立review set
+
+`PaperReviewSetV1`は4種類のartifactを分離して保持します。
+
+- 独立text review
+- 独立VLM figure review
+- evidence-grounded semantic review
+- deterministic hard-gate report
+
+text reviewはauthoring revisionへbindし、raw model responseを保持しなければなりません。各VLM targetは
+正確なFigureBatch manifest/artifactとそのbyteに一致する必要があります。semantic reviewの
+evidence digestは、正確なfinal TeX、ScienceData projection、claim-link document、hard-gate digestと
+一致しなければなりません。aggregate scoreでこれらのrecordを代替できません。
+
+## Compile policy
+
+compilerが受け付けるcommand名は固定された`pdflatex`と`bibtex`だけです。安全なroot-level main file、
+canonical `refs.bib`、`FigureBatchV1`で宣言されたgraphicだけを使えます。常に`-no-shell-escape`を付け、
+実行前にTeX process/file I/O、`input`/`include`、`filecontents`、absolute/traversal path、未宣言graphicを
+拒否します。
+
+compileは共通`ExecutionRequestV1`のprocess-groupとresource limitを使います。各passの完全な
+stdout/stderr artifactとexecution identityを保持します。timeout、cancel、tool欠落、nonzero exit、
+PDF欠落、PDF digest mismatchをcompleted compileへ変換できません。
+
+## Rubric migration
+
+paper authoringとreviewには明示的な`rubric_id`が必要です。`ARI_RUBRIC`を読まず、`neurips`を推測せず、
+rubric欠落後にsilent fallbackしません。`ARI_RUBRIC_DIR`はlocation overrideとして残ります。
+
+古いlaunch documentには`src.rubric_migration.migrate_legacy_rubric_selection`を実行します。これは古い
+explicit field、`ARI_RUBRIC`、またはhistorical defaultを一度だけ解決し、rubricを検証して、
+`paper_rubric`とversion/digest migration ledgerを持つconfigurationを返します。このhelperはruntime
+authoringから呼ばれません。
+
+## 削除済みruntime経路とrollback
+
+version 0.3.0では、section単位の`generate_section`、`review_section`、`revise_section`、genericな
+node-tree metric discovery、model figure inserter、重複LaTeX parser、caller指定compiler path、raw
+subprocess compileを削除しました。それぞれwhole-document authoring/review、native contract、fixed
+renderer、shared parser、common execution contractを使います。
+
+rollback boundaryは最後のv0.2.0 paper Skill commitです。公開済み`PaperBuildV1`、legacy rubric
+migration、pre-batch call readerはdata readerとして保持します。replayがunsafeなproducer経路を
+復活させることはありません。
+

+## `ari.public.skill_manifest`
+
+`skill.yaml` は canonical package contract です。consumer は YAML を直接 parse
+したり `server.py` を scrape したりせず、public API から読み込みます:
+
+```python
+from ari.public.skill_manifest import load_skill_manifest, manifest_digest
+
+manifest = load_skill_manifest("ari-skill-coding/skill.yaml")
+tool = manifest.tool("run_code")
+identity = manifest_digest(manifest)
+```
+
+`SkillManifestV1` は package identity、package-relative Python stdio entrypoint、
+網羅的な通常環境宣言、重複しない credential scope、一意な tool 名、
+capability reference、phase、side effect、determinism、timeout class、permission、
+result schema を検証します。
+`TimeoutBudgetV1` は caller が制御する timeout 引数を明示し、上限を固定します。
+`timeout_class=async` の tool は `AsyncLifecycleV1` で status/result/cancel の
+semantic capability を宣言しなければならず、未解決または曖昧な参照は manifest
+validation で拒否されます。
+
+組み込み production Skill では
+`environment_policy=complete` が必須です。解決済みの各 tool は
+`context_requirement` を `none` / `run` / `node` で宣言し、構造化コンテキストが
+なければ dispatch は fail closed します。公開 runtime loader は未versionedの
+legacy manifestを常に拒否します。オフライン移行では内部のread-only
+`ari.migrations.skill_manifest.load_legacy_skill_manifest()`を利用できますが、
+変換結果はdefault-offであり、暗黙にadmissionされません。
+
+## `ari.public.call_context` と `ari.public.result`
+
+新しい dispatch コードは型付き result contract を使います。従来の辞書 API は
+情報を失わない compatibility projection として残ります:
+
+```python
+from ari.public.call_context import ToolCallContextV1
+
+tool = client.list_tools()[0]
+envelope = client.call_tool_envelope(
+    tool["tool_ref"],
+    {"query": "example"},
+    context=ToolCallContextV1.for_node(
+        run_id="run-1",
+        node_id="node-1",
+        parent_node_id="root",
+        ancestor_node_ids=["root"],
+        phase="bfts",
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+`RunContextV1` は logical run を `run_scope_digest` に、`NodeContextV1` は
+self、parent、root から parent までの順序付き chain を `lineage_digest` に
+束縛します。`MCPClient` はこれを tool-bound、per-connection HMAC capability に
+変換し、Skill は `verify_tool_context` で検証します。署名鍵は transport が
+所有し、public data contract には入りません。規範 schema は
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/call_context_v1.schema.json` です。
+
+`ResultEnvelopeV1` は status、structured content、型付き error、不変の
+`tool_ref`、run/node/phase context、selection reason、timing、SHA-256 response digest を
+記録します。credential は値ではなく scope ID だけを記録します。
+4,000 文字を超える raw content は content address の artifact に退避され、
+`materialize_content(store)` が digest と byte size を検証して復元します。
+
+非同期 submit は、review 済み manifest capability から解決した immutable
+`tool_ref` endpoint を持つ `AsyncToolHandleV1` を追加します。bare name を再検索せず
+`MCPClient.get_async_status()`、`get_async_result()`、`cancel_async()`、

+# Qiskit / IBM Quantum 実験 profile
+
+ARI は Qiskit を個別 tool wrapper の集合としてではなく、federated tool
+registry の immutable experiment として統合する。上流 MCP の知名度や接続成功を
+科学的正当性とは見なさない。一つの reviewed source に多数の profile を持たせても、
+LLM に見せる surface は registry の5操作のままである。
+
+## 信頼境界
+
+`qiskit-support-v1.json` は公式 [Qiskit MCP repository](https://github.com/Qiskit/mcp-servers)
+のcommit、provider wheel/source、license、dependency lock、完全な installed package
+tree、tool contractを固定する。科学計算側も Qiskit 2.5.1、Qiskit Aer 0.17.2、
+Qiskit IBM Runtime 0.48.0を固定する。実行前にinterpreter、entry point、architecture、
+distribution version、package bytesを検証し、range指定、改変install、別entry point、
+起動時downloadは拒否する。一次資料は
+[IBM MCP guide](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/guides/qiskit-mcp-servers) と
+[QPY API](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/api/qiskit/qpy) も参照する。
+
+これはsoftware identityとprotocol conformanceの証拠であり、物理的正しさの証明ではない。
+科学admissionには閉じた実験、limitations、統計範囲、実在するgolden/replay fixture、
+domain reviewが別途必要である。
+
+## 能力の分離
+
+| backend | capability | 意味 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `local-ideal` | `ari.quantum.sample.local-ideal` | noiseを持たないseeded Aer simulation |
+| `local-noisy` | `ari.quantum.sample.local-noisy` | 明示したnoise modelのseeded simulation |
+| `remote-simulator` | `ari.quantum.sample.remote-simulator` | remote service上のstochastic simulation |
+| `ibm-hardware` | `ari.quantum.sample.ibm-hardware` | live calibrationを持つhardware measurement |
+
+brokerはinvoke/replay時にこれらを代替しない。同じbackend kind/name、target、software
+stackを共有するprofileは同じindependence groupであり、複数wrapperや反復runを
+独立method agreementとして数えない。
+
+## 閉じた実験契約
+
+`QiskitExperimentV1` はQPY bytes/digest/format/producer version、qubit数、全parameter
+bindingと`rad`または`1`のunit、transpiler level/seed/layout、basis/coupling/target digest、
+shots、期待bitstringの確率範囲を固定する。local profileはAer method、precision、CPU
+thread、simulator seed、noise modelを固定する。remote profileはbackend/version、opaque
+instance digest、access tier、calibration要件、mitigationを固定する。
+
+callerが渡せるのはidempotency用の`request_id`だけである。circuit、backend、shots、path、
+provider operation、environmentは変更できない。review済みRuntime MCPはparameter bindingを
+samplerへ渡せないため、remote bindingは暗黙変換せずvalidation errorにする。
+
+localでは公式core MCPでtranspileした後、exact distributionを検証する隔離Aer workerで
+実行する。remoteではtokenを隔離Runtime processへ渡し、instance、backend property、
+coupling、calibration、backend kind/targetを検証してからsubmitする。submitは共通async
+handleを即時返し、status/result/cancelをtyped stateへ正規化する。timeoutはcancelを要求し、
+submitとcancelのraceでもprovider job ID確定後にreconcileしてorphanを残さない。
+
+raw property/calibration/submission/status/resultはrole別content-addressed artifactとして残す。
+stable snapshot digestからqueue、operational state、capture timeは除くが、元のtimestamp付き
+responseは保存する。backend/target/shots/result shape/counts/statistical boundの不一致は
+fail closedとなる。
+
+## credential
+
+唯一許可するcredentialは`QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN`であり、`quantum.ibm-runtime` named scopeから
+供給する。`sources.yaml`、profile、launcher env、lock、fixture、checkpointへ書いてはならない。
+core MCPとlocal workerには渡らず、隔離Runtime processだけが受け取る。provider text、
+structured response、diagnostic、exception、stderrではsecret valueを境界内でredactする。
+raw instance CRNも保存せず、operator-reviewed digestとaccess-tier IDだけをidentityにする。
+
+## evidence、運用、rollback
+
+golden fixtureはprofile/experiment digest/counts、replay fixtureはさらにrequest、method digest、
+shots、normalized resultを束縛する。fileのbytesまで検証し、digest文字列だけではadmitしない。
+replayはprovider、network、credential、backend accessなしで同じlocked identityから実行できる。
+これはprovenanceを保ったoffline analysisの再現であり、live hardwareが同じcountを返す主張ではない。
+
+`ari-skill-tool-registry/providers/qiskit-source.example.yaml`から開始し、次を実行する。
+
+```bash
+cd ari-skill-tool-registry
+python scripts/verify_qiskit.py \
+  --core-python /absolute/qiskit-env/bin/python \
+  --core-package-root /absolute/qiskit-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/qiskit_mcp_server \
+  --experiment /absolute/profile.yaml --smoke
+python src/sync_catalog.py
+python src/sync_catalog.py --approve --approve-schema-changes
+```
+
+local validation runには`--run-profile`と`--artifact-root`、remoteにはruntime interpreter/
+package rootを追加する。pending diffのcapability、schema、backend lineage、independence、
+permission、evidence、limitationsをreviewし、credential redactionとoffline replayを含む全testを
+通してから採用する。
+
+provider/Qiskit/Aer/Runtime/backend/circuit更新は新しいimmutable record/profileとして追加する。
+rollbackは以前のsupport record、環境、profile、QPY/evidence、catalog lock、cassetteを選ぶ。
+remote handleは先にterminalまたはreconciledにし、rollbackでlive jobを隠してはならない。
+削除はactive referenceが0、remote job解消、migration note、providerなしreplay成功をgateとし、
+published evidenceが参照するQPY/result/cassette readerはsupport window中保持する。

+# 再現実行と採点の契約
+
+`ari-skill-paper-re` v1.0はimmutableな科学inputと各execution attemptを分離します。scoreをpublish
+できるのは、検証済みで成功したreproduction runへbindされ、要求したすべてのjudge runが完了した
+場合だけです。
+
+check-in済みJSON Schemaは`ari-skill-paper-re/schemas/`にあります。schema driftを拒否するには
+`python ari-skill-paper-re/scripts/sync_contracts.py`を実行します。
+
+## Recordとidentity
+
+| Record | Identityと目的 |
+|---|---|
+| `ReproductionPlanV1` | rubric、input tree、`reproduce.sh`、command、sandbox/image、timeout、resource request、expected artifact、policyのcanonical digest。 |
+| `ReproductionAttemptV1` | parent attempt/planへlinkした1回のterminal execution。environment identity、正確なlog/output-manifest digest、output-tree digest、missing artifact、型付きfailure evidenceを持つ。 |
+| `ReproductionRunV1` | orderedでcontiguousなattempt lineage。成功runだけが1つの成功attemptを選ぶ。 |
+| `GradeReportV1` | rubric/paper/run digest、judge identityとindependence、すべてのleaf evidence/raw response、run count、variance、negative control、call trace、final validity。 |
+
+各recordはunknown fieldと、canonical finite-JSON payloadに一致しないdigestを拒否します。artifact pathは
+relativeでtraversal不可とし、使用前にdigestとbyte countを検証します。
+
+## Workspace layoutとretry
+
+plan digest `<P>`のmetadataはcallerのsource tree配下に置きます。
+
+```text
+.ari-reproduction/
+  <P>/
+    plan.json
+    input-manifest.json
+    input/                         # content-addressed, read-only snapshot
+    run.json
+    attempts/
+      0001-<attempt-id>/
+        work/                      # private writable execution tree
+        output-manifest.json
+  latest.json                     # verified active run pointer
+```
+
+executionはcallerのsource fileへresultを書きません。symlink、non-regular output、1 GiB超のfile、8 GiB超の
+treeはprivate outputから除去し、attemptを`filesystem-policy`で失敗させます。`reproduce.log`はatomicに
+書きます。output manifestは追加・変更・削除されたすべてのpathとpolicy incidentを記録します。
+
+成功済みplanの反復は、run、artifact、output treeを再検証した後のidempotent replayです。failed/
+timed-out/cancelled planの反復は新しいattemptを作り、その`parent_attempt_id`は直前attemptを指します。
+source、rubric、image、policy、resource、timeoutの変更は別planを作り、古いlineageをsilentに延長しません。
+
+## Sandbox admission
+
+| Substrate | Immutable identity | Default network denial |
+|---|---|---|
+| Docker | 完全なlocal `sha256:<image-id>`または`name@sha256:<digest>` | `--network=none`、read-only root、上限付きtmpfs、capabilityなし、no-new-privileges、PID limit |
+| Apptainer/Singularity | local regular non-symlink SIF（hash済み）またはremote `@sha256:<digest>` URI | clean environment、contained filesystem、home mountなしのisolated network namespace |
+| Local | host/toolchain identityを記録 | 明示的administrator isolation attestationが必要。なければ`network_policy=inherit`を明示選択 |
+| SLURM | digest-boundなcommon HPC handoffとscheduler/module/resource/runtime evidence | `deny`にはadministrator isolation attestationが必要。jobは`--export=NIL`と明示literal/moduleを使用 |
+
+execution environmentはminimal allowlistから構築し、parent environmentをcopyしません。
+`network_policy=inherit`はunverifiedとして記録し、isolationとは表現しません。timeout/cancellationは
+local/container process group全体をkillし、named Docker containerを強制削除するか、terminalize前に
+scheduler handleをcancelします。
+
+`auto`は利用可能なsubstrateを選びますが、imageを捏造したりpolicyを弱めたりしません。選択substrateが
+immutable-image、network、GPU、scheduler、resource constraintを満たせなければplanning/executionは
+明示的に失敗します。
+
+## Grade validity
+
+`grade_with_simplejudge`には次のすべてが必要です。
+
+- non-emptyなpaper textとdigestが一致するschema-valid rubric
+- statusが`succeeded`のdigest-verified `ReproductionRunV1`
+- 要求したすべてのjudge runの完了
+- raw per-call/per-leaf responseの永続化
+- configured threshold未満で完了したnegative control
+
+judge/provider failure、schema mismatch、欠落・改ざん・失敗したreproduction、利用不能なnegative controlは
+scientific scoreなしの`status=failed`になります。negative controlがthresholdを超えたcompleted gradeは
+診断用observed scoreを保持しますが、`valid`でなく`invalid-negative-control`です。control skipも同じ
+invalid statusです。rubric generator modelをjudgeとして再利用した場合は、独立auditと表示せず
+`not-independent`を報告します。
+
+## PaperBench provenanceとpatch削除
+
+`paperbench_patches.json`はreview済みupstream Git commitを正確にpinし、残る各runtime adaptationを
+upstream symbol、rationale、deletion gateへmapします。overrideは`ARI_PAPERBENCH_PATH`と一致する
+`ARI_PAPERBENCH_COMMIT`の両方を指定し、Gitがその正確なidentityを確認した場合だけ受理します。
+package rootはbootstrap中だけ一時的に可視化し、その後`sys.path`から除去します。pip-installed
+PaperBenchはfallbackではありません。
+
+compatibility inventoryは意図的に縮小しています。v1.0では次を削除しました。
+
+- host-local sandbox fallbackと`ARI_PHASE1_ALLOW_FALLBACK`
+- mutable default imageと`pb-env` / `pb-reproducer`の`:latest` alias
+- `apptainer_image` tool argumentと`ARI_PHASE1_SINGULARITY_IMAGE`
+- source-mutating salvage wrapperとimplicit `code_only` grading
+- 重複したlocal/Docker/Apptainer/SLURM runner entry point
+
+残るPaperBench adaptationは、そのinventory gateがpinned upstream suiteに対して通過した時点で削除します。
+named owner、removal release、migration test、fail-closed security reviewなしにcompatibility nameやfallbackを
+再導入できません。

+# 研究契約
+
+ARIは文献取得から実験実行までの科学的判断を3つのimmutable recordとして固定します。
+
+1. `SurveySnapshotV1`は固定provider、query、取得時刻、正規化record、citation edge、
+   artifact、および元のlive操作がbyte reproducibleかを記録します。
+2. `IdeaSetV1`はmodel、prompt template digest、sampling、seed、adapter/vendor revision、
+   source snapshot、採用candidate、決定論的なreject理由を記録します。
+3. `ResearchContractV1`は採用candidateから一度だけmintされ、仮説、反証条件、metric名、
+   unit、direction、comparison scope、required evidence、引用、制約、source digestを固定します。
+
+各recordはdigest field自身を除くcanonical JSONのSHA-256を持ち、readerはparse時に検証します。
+evaluatorは`ResearchContractV1`をそのまま使用し、同じ`research_contract_digest`を
+`metric_contract.json`へ書きます。LLMによるmetric/evidence語彙の再抽出は行いません。
+
+`survey(mode="record")`は障害時にproviderを変更しません。`survey(mode="replay")`はnetworkを
+使わず、指定checkpoint artifactだけを読み、欠落・破損・digest不一致を拒否します。
+
+top-levelのflatな`ideas`や`primary_metric`は旧checkpoint用projectionです。新consumerはtyped
+recordを使います。新形式を宣言しながら採用contractがないdocumentはfail-closedとなり、旧prose
+推論へdowngradeできません。schemaは`ari-core/ari/schemas/`、公開APIは
+`ari.public.research_contract`です。
+
+provider cassette、検証済みsnapshot ref、URL policy、alias合成は
+[検索契約](retrieval_contract.md)で定義します。

+# 検索契約とネットワークポリシー
+
+ARI は情報取得と科学的採用判断を分離します。`ari-skill-web` は出典を取得・正規化し、Idea、Evaluator、Paper がその利用可否を判断します。
+
+## 公開レコード
+
+標準結果 `ari.retrieval-result/v1` は、`RetrievalRecordV1` の `records`、digest 拘束された `SurveySnapshotV1`、`survey_snapshot_digest`、任意の checkpoint 相対 `snapshot_ref`、および provider 間の `alias_groups` を返します。public writerはcanonical `records`だけを返します。
+
+各 record は provider、provider record/version、query、取得時刻、書誌情報、source URL、raw payload digest、DOI/arXiv/S2 alias、license/use restriction を保持します。canonical ID は provider scoped です。同じ arXiv 論文を表す AlphaXiv record と arXiv record も別 origin のまま、共通 `arxiv:` alias で結ばれます。
+
+## 実行モード
+
+| mode | network | artifact | 意味 |
+|---|---:|---:|---|
+| `live` | あり | なし | 現在のprovider応答。replay不可 |
+| `record` | あり | あり | 一つの固定providerと不変cassette/snapshot |
+| `replay` | なし | なし | 記録済み正規化objectを検証してそのまま返す |
+
+`record` / `replay` は `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR` を必須とし、次を保存します。
+
+```text
+retrieval_cassettes/<raw-cassette-sha256>.json
+retrieval_payloads/<raw-body-sha256>.bin
+retrieval_snapshots/<snapshot-digest>.json
+```
+
+replay は snapshot self-digest、content-addressed path、全 artifact SHA-256、provider/query/operation/parameters、records、citation edges、warnings を検証します。provider outage は明示 error となり、別providerへ切り替わりません。複数providerを使う場合は固定callを個別に行い、上位brokerが全originを保持したままaliasで合成します。
+
+## URL と citation の安全性
+
+`fetch_url` は HTTP(S) の80/443のみを許可し、userinfoと非global DNS addressを拒否します。検証済みIPへ直接接続してTLS SNIを保持し、redirectごとに再検証し、HTTPS downgrade、redirect超過、size超過、非text mediaを拒否します。本文はraw artifactとして記録され、返却textはuntrusted external dataと明示されます。
+
+`walk_citations` は depth/node/request budget とcycle detectionを持ち、上限到達時は保持済みrecord/edgeと `partial_reason` を返します。
+
+決定的取得toolはLLMを呼びません。`rerank_retrieval_records` は独立した stochastic tool で、model、API identity、temperature、prompt/input/output digestを記録します。
+
+## Consumer規則
+
+Idea は `survey_snapshot_ref`、Paper は記録結果中の `snapshot_ref` を共通検証loaderで読みます。型付き結果に記録参照がない場合、inline papersへの暗黙downgradeは行いません。
+
+[Research contract](research_contracts.md) と [Execution contract](execution_contract.md) も参照してください。

-#### `slurm_submit(script, job_name, partition, nodes=1, walltime="01:00:00", work_dir)`
-
-SLURM バッチジョブを投入します。
-
-```python
-result = slurm_submit(
-    script="""
-#!/bin/bash
-#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=32
-compiler -o ./bench ./bench.c
-NTHREADS=32 ./bench

-```
+全ての組み込み Skill は、package identity、entrypoint、環境変数と credential
+scope、capability、phase、side effect、determinism、timeout、permission、result
+schema の唯一の情報源として versioned `skill.yaml` を持ちます。規範 schema は
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/skill_manifest_v1.schema.json` です。`mcp.json` は
+compatibility 用の生成物であり、手編集しません。
 
-**注意事項:**
-- `--account` と `-A` ヘッダーは暗黙的に除去されます（このクラスターでは無効）
-- 空の `job_id` は即座に ERROR を返します
-- スクリプト内のパスに `~` を使用しないでください（SBATCH では展開されません）
+timeout は tool 名のリストでは決まりません。各 tool の `timeout_class` を使い、
+caller が渡す wall-time 引数を外側 timeout に反映できるのは、manifest の
+`timeout_budget` が引数名、単位、buffer、上限を明示した場合だけです。未宣言の
+引数で実行予算を拡大することはできません。
 
-#### `job_status(job_id)`
+非同期 submitter は `async_lifecycle` に handle field と status/result/cancel の
+semantic capability を宣言します。admission 時にそれらを immutable な runtime
+`tool_ref` へ解決し、`ResultEnvelopeV1.async_handle` に portable な
+`AsyncToolHandleV1` を返します。`MCPClient.get_async_status()`、
+`get_async_result()`、`cancel_async()`、`wait_for_async()` は handle に束縛された
+参照だけを使います。handle 欠落や manifest 未宣言の provider state は typed
+protocol error として fail closed します。規範 schema は
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/async_tool_handle_v1.schema.json` です。SLURM submit と外部
+ARI orchestrator は既に同じ lifecycle 契約を使用します。

+# 科学ツール連合レジストリ
+
+`ari-skill-tool-registry` は多数のMCP collectionを `discover`、`describe`、
+`invoke`、`get_status`、`get_result` の5操作の背後に統合する、デフォルトOFF
+のSkillです。leaf schemaをすべてモデルへ渡さず、collection追加時にもleaf
+ごとのファイル編集を要求しません。
+
+## 境界とライフサイクル
+
+```text
+少数のreview済み sources.yaml
+  -> 隔離したprovider discovery
+  -> canonical descriptorと可視なorigin chain
+  -> graph・supply chain・conformance・科学admission
+  -> review済み CATALOG.lock + 派生index
+  -> immutableな5操作broker
+```
+
+runtimeは `sources.yaml` を読みません。sync差分はpending lock/indexとreview用
+diffになり、`--approve` でだけactive lockを置換します。実行中brokerのsnapshot
+は変化しません。
+
+`tool_ref` はprovider、adapter、schema、明示default、permission/effect、
+determinism、実行意味、method identity、async lifecycleから作るopaque digest
+です。policyとsource aliasは別identityなので、policy再評価で実装変更を偽装
+できません。
+
+## 科学的admission
+
+| Level | 必要な根拠 |
+|---|---|
+| `discovered` | candidateとleaf originが明示される |
+| `callable` | MCP conformance、provider pin、launcher検証、permission許可 |
+| `reproducible` | callableに加えdependency pinとoffline replay fixture |
+| `scientifically_admitted` | validation、limitation、semantics、unit、method identity |
+
+発見されたこと自体は権威や科学的正当性を意味しません。registryは根拠と
+policy判定を報告し、upstream collectionを無条件には信頼しません。
+
+## collectionの合成と競合
+
+同一execution identityのaliasだけをcollapseし、全source/origin chainを保持
+します。同様のcapabilityは既定で別toolです。exact duplicate、same backend、
+semantic near-match、independent methodを区別し、名前が似ているだけで平均化
+しません。結果の不一致も別々のprovenance付きで残します。
+
+この境界により、ToolUniverse型collection、OpenROAD、量子simulator、将来の
+MCP bundleをpackage固有routingなしで共存させられます。direct stdio MCPは
+custom leaf code不要です。異なるtransportはcollection全体につき1個の
+`CatalogSource` と `ProviderAdapter`、およびconformance fixtureを追加します。
+
+## ToolUniverse v1.3.1 adapter
+
+ToolUniverseは数千個のpublic MCP toolではなく、一つのcompact collectionとして
+統合します。registry processはToolUniverseをimportしません。operator syncだけが
+compactなlist/info/execute surfaceをcanonical leaf descriptorへ展開し、runtimeは
+active lockに含まれるexact leaf名だけを `execute_tool` へ渡します。
+
+support matrixはrepository commit/tag、PyPI wheel/sdist、Apache-2.0 license、
+upstream dependency lock、compact contract、installed package全3,542ファイルの
+canonical tree digestを固定します。sync/runtimeの双方が完全treeとshell-freeな
+`tooluniverse.smcp_server:run_stdio_server` callableを検証します。version range、
+起動時install、変更済みpackage、別entry pointはfail closedです。
+
+leafごとのwrapperではなくcategory/type profileでeffect、determinism、permission、
+limitation、lineageを割り当てます。upstream CLIが背景でより広い集合をloadしても
+ARI側category filterを再適用し、runtimeではlock済みleaf名でも再制限します。
+dynamic MCP loader、agentic/compose/code execution、credential必須、未reviewまたは
+曖昧なprofile、不正schemaはquarantineします。v1.3.1固有のproperty-level
+`required: true` だけは標準の親 `required` 配列へ決定的に正規化して履歴を残し、
+その他のschemaを推測で修復しません。
+
+argumentはlocked schemaでstrictに検証し、型coercionは無効です。明示 `null` は
+upstreamが黙って削除するため拒否します。ToolUniverse cache/persistence、update
+check、hook、searchを無効化し、resultへcollection/wheel/provider/leaf-spec identityと
+`upstream_cache: disabled`を記録します。replay authorityはARI cassette/EARだけです。
+collection-level trustをleafのreplay/scientific validationへ推移させません。
+
+bulk updateはpending diffとなり、input/output/default schema変更は通常の
+`--approve`だけでは承認できません。review後に
+`--approve-schema-changes`も明示する必要があります。
+
+## OpenROAD profile adapter
+
+OpenROAD-MCPのinteractive toolはleafに公開せず、review済み
+`OpenRoadExperimentV1` を1つのvirtual async leafにします。callerが渡すのは
+`request_id`だけで、Tcl、path、PDK/library、OpenROAD/ORFS commit、seed、
+threads、resource、containerはexperiment/method identityに固定されます。
+
+`local-mcp` はscoped stateful sessionを使い、全terminal pathでterminateします。
+`slurm` はclosed commandをdigest-pinned Tclにcompileし、固定worker/inputとともに
+C06 `JobRequestV1` へsubmitします。1 node/task、threads/CPU一致、shared
+work root、toolchainと同じdigestのclean/contained SIF、`network: none` が必須です。
+scheduler handle/status/cancel、environment/module/container digest、logとprovenanceを
+result/EARに保存し、terminal状態を確認した場合だけworkspaceを削除します。
+transport結果が不明な場合はledger照合のためfail closedで保持します。
+
+## Qiskit profile adapter
+
+公式Qiskit core MCPとIBM Runtime MCPはsupply-chain inputであり、public leafでは
+ありません。review済み`QiskitExperimentV1`一つをvirtual async leafにします。
+QPY/version、parameter unit、transpilation target/seed、shots、simulator/noiseまたは
+Runtime backend、mitigation、evidence、limitationsを固定し、callerは`request_id`
+だけを渡します。
+
+local ideal、local noisy、remote simulator、IBM hardwareは別capabilityです。core MCPは
+transpileだけに使い、local Aerはexact distributionを検証するworkerで実行します。
+remoteではreview済みsetup、backend snapshot、sampler、status、result、cancelだけを
+内部利用し、account管理leafを公開しません。backend/target mismatchはsubmit前に拒否し、
+live snapshotとjob/result raw recordを検証済みartifactとして残します。
+
+`QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN`はnamed credential scopeから隔離Runtime processだけに渡し、provider
+境界でexact-value redactします。lock、cassette、artifact、identityにはtokenもraw
+instance CRNも残しません。科学契約、運用、update/rollback、削除gateは
+[Qiskit / IBM Quantum 実験 profile](qiskit_profiles.md)を参照してください。
+
+## record/replayとEAR
+
+recordはexact arguments、catalog/policy digest、選択理由、却下候補、raw応答
+digest/artifact、正規化ResultEnvelopeを保存します。replayは同じcatalogの下で
+providerを起動せず再生します。証跡は `{checkpoint}/ear/catalog/` に置かれ、
+既定EAR curatorで公開対象になります。

+# Deterministic analysis contract
+
+ARI separates scientific measurement, statistical analysis, figure rendering,
+and acceptance decisions. `ari-skill-benchmark` owns summaries, inference, and
+run comparison. `ari-skill-plot` owns rendering. `ari-skill-evaluator` owns
+scientific acceptance gates.
+
+## Versioned boundary
+
+`ari.public.analysis` exports four immutable contracts:
+
+- `AnalysisRequestV1` for unit-bearing inline or digest-bound samples;
+- `StatisticalTestRequestV1` for an explicit family of comparisons;
+- `RunComparisonRequestV1` for scalar outcomes with substrate identity; and
+- `AnalysisResultV1` for summaries, statistical results, or run rankings.
+
+The generated schemas are `analysis_request_v1.schema.json`,
+`statistical_test_request_v1.schema.json`, `run_comparison_request_v1.schema.json`,
+and `analysis_result_v1.schema.json`.
+
+## Scientific invariants
+
+Units are never inferred. A comparison fails when metric identities or units
+differ. Empty and all-missing samples fail. `missing_policy=error` rejects any
+missing or non-finite observation; `drop` records the removed count. Ordered
+paired samples require equal lengths, while `pair_id` pairing requires unique,
+matching identities.
+
+Every statistical result includes both sample counts, test statistic, raw and
+adjusted p-values, an effect size, a confidence interval, normality and variance
+diagnostics where defined, pairing evidence, independence status, library
+versions, and a resolved input digest. A request with more than one comparison
+must declare Bonferroni, Holm, or Benjamini-Hochberg correction. An immutable
+`analysis_plan_digest` binds a pre-registered plan without treating it as proof
+that the plan was followed.
+
+Replicate independence is never inferred from repeated values or a shared
+backend. `compare_runs` groups identical backend/environment substrates,
+labels shared substrate explicitly, and reports independence only as declared
+when unique replicate identities are present. Cross-environment rankings fail
+by default and require an explicit caveated opt-in.
+
+## Sources and artifacts
+
+CSV, JSON, and non-object NumPy sources use `WorkspaceRefV1`, a safe relative
+path, a byte limit, and an expected SHA-256 digest. The complete source bytes,
+including CSV metadata comments, remain digest-bound. Optional result artifacts
+are written atomically as deterministic JSON and CSV under a path keyed by the
+resolved input digest.
+
+Figure requests now go to `plot-skill:render_figure`. The renderer consumes
+finite values and explicit units, executes no caller code, and returns an
+`ari.figure-manifest/v1` projection with source/data/spec digests, record IDs,
+render environment, and PNG/PDF byte digests.
+
+## Removal and recovery
+
+The public benchmark `plot` tool, matplotlib, pandas, schema-less file parsing,
+and the unimplemented `compare_runs` declaration were removed in v0.2. The
+former p-value-only result is not accepted as an `AnalysisResultV1`; migration
+readers must remain outside the public MCP inventory and are removed after P6
+telemetry reaches zero. Roll back to the commit before v0.2 only to read an old
+checkpoint, never to produce new scientific results.

+# Compatibility support policy
+
+ARI does not keep compatibility paths merely because they once existed. A
+retained path must be read-only or narrowly scoped, fail closed, have an owner,
+and have an objective removal gate. New producers never emit retired formats.
+
+## Retained support matrix
+
+| Surface | Boundary and rationale | Owner | Re-evaluation / removal gate |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Historical measurement documents | `parse_measurement_document` reads old flat v1/unversioned files without inventing units or execution provenance. `emit_results` writes only the canonical `measurement_set`. | ARI core maintainers | v1.1: published-checkpoint usage is zero and migration fixtures have been archived. |
+| Historical research, retrieval, result, figure, review, paper-build, and EAR artifacts | Readers are isolated to replay, verification, or explicit migration. They are not runtime producer fallbacks. | Owning skill maintainers | Remove per format only after the supported publication/replay window closes and golden replay remains available. |
+| Letta pip deployment | Containerless local installations still need the statically tested pip launcher. It is not an automatic data-backend fallback. | ARI maintainers | v1.1: review usage and an issue before removal; Docker/Apptainer/Cloud support must remain green. |
+| `slurm_submit` script bridge | The core experiment agent still authors an allocated compute-node body. Generated scheduler policy precedes that body; `#SBATCH` text cannot override it. New programmatic integrations use `job_submit`/`container_submit`. | ARI core + HPC maintainers | v1.1: remove when the agent emits `JobRequestV1` directly and core/tool callers are zero. |
+| Rubric V1 reader and offline migration | Paper-re verifies the source digest and fails closed; replicate can migrate losslessly to V2. No V1 runtime generator exists. | Replicate + paper-re maintainers | v1.1: workflow callers and supported V1 artifact usage are zero. |
+| PaperBench runtime adaptations | Only adaptations listed in `paperbench_patches.json` at the exact source pin are applied and conformance-tested. | Paper-re maintainers | Re-evaluate on every PaperBench pin update; remove an adaptation when its `obsolete` probe passes and the target-version suite is green. |
+| Orchestrator registry repair | Explicit repair may import only apparently terminal legacy runs into the durable registry. It is never automatic discovery or live-state inference. | Orchestrator maintainers | v1.1: remove only after supported checkpoints have been imported and repair fixtures are archived. |
+| Archived registry locks and provider cassettes | Required to reproduce a published dispatch. Readers verify digests and never admit the archived provider into a new run implicitly. | Tool-registry and provider-profile maintainers | Retain for the publication/replay support window; then remove by format with a migration/replay fixture. |
+
+## Change rules
+
+- Adding a compatibility writer or silent fallback requires a new reviewed
+  architecture decision; it cannot be justified by this policy.
+- A removal records the last pre-removal commit, updates the changelog, checks
+  repository callers, and runs the owning contract/replay suite.
+- Security-sensitive fallbacks may be removed earlier when an explicit error
+  and migration procedure are supplied.

+# Scientific evaluation contract
+
+ARI separates scientific admission, objective evidence checking, and semantic
+advice. These layers are intentionally not interchangeable.
+
+## Metric admission
+
+`MetricContractV1` freezes metric name, unit, direction, comparison scope,
+formula, named operands, tolerance, required measured evidence, correctness
+requirements, invariants, and formula provenance. Its canonical digest changes
+if any scientific field changes. The evaluator projects an admitted idea-owned
+contract to `MetricGateContractV1` and persists it once.
+
+For legacy input, `propose_metric_contract` may produce a
+`MetricContractProposalV1`. This is an untrusted LLM suggestion with model,
+revision, prompt, evidence, and idea digests. It cannot be used until a named
+human reviewer creates `MetricAdmissionDecisionV1`. Deterministic parser output
+is evidence for that decision, not an admission shortcut.
+
+## Deterministic hard gate
+
+`GateReportV1` binds one gate result to the exact run, policy digest, evidence
+digest, metric-contract digest, named-formula implementation digest,
+restricted-expression evaluator digest, and every permitted unit conversion.
+It has separate typed `blocking_findings` and `advisory_findings`.

+Canonical runs consume typed `MeasurementSetV1` documents from the exact run
+and node. Artifact references include run id, node id, relative path, and
+SHA-256 digest. Missing, changed, unbound, cross-run, or untyped evidence is not
+guessed. Unit conversion uses a closed dimension-preserving registry; unknown
+units fail. `off` records findings but never blocks; only a final-phase result
+can block finalization.
+
+This gate verifies evidence identity and paper-to-result derivation. It does not
+prove that an instrument, simulator, benchmark design, or scientific hypothesis
+is externally valid.
+
+## Semantic advisory
+
+`SemanticReviewV1` records its dedicated model and revision, full prompt digest,
+evidence digest, and the immutable hard-gate report digest. It may flag
+overclaim, overgeneralization, unsupported claims, interpretation, and visual
+semantics. It cannot change the numeric gate, and failure is represented as
+`status: unavailable` rather than a fabricated success.
+
+## Compatibility and calibration
+
+Readers verify every v1 digest. Pre-v1 metric contracts and gate reports have
+explicit conservative migration readers; they do not overwrite old files or
+reconstruct provenance that was never recorded. The bundled
+`ari.calibration/evaluator_v1.json` corpus runs hard-gate positive and negative
+controls in CI and carries human semantic labels for model calibration.
+
+The stable Python surface is `ari.public.evaluation` (also re-exported through
+`ari.public.claim_gate`). JSON Schemas live in `ari-core/ari/schemas/`.

+# Execution and measurement contracts
+
+ARI uses one public contract for workspace access, local or container process
+execution, complete logs, and scientific measurements. Skills import it from
+`ari.public.execution`; scheduler lifecycle remains owned by `ari-skill-hpc`.
+
+## Closed workspace
+
+`WorkspaceRefV1` fixes one canonical absolute root. Caller paths cannot contain
+`..`, escape through an absolute path, or traverse a symlink. Reads and writes
+walk path components through directory file descriptors with `O_NOFOLLOW`.
+Writes use a private file, `fsync`, and an atomic rename. A caller-selected
+`work_dir` is created only after it has passed the same containment policy.
+
+The policy deliberately has no “helpful” basename fallback: a rejected path is
+an error and is never rewritten into a different target.
+
+This is the file-access boundary for ARI tools and their declared
+inputs/artifacts; it is not a host filesystem sandbox for arbitrary child code.
+Code that is not trusted to run as the ARI service account requires a reviewed
+container, scheduler isolation, or another operating-system sandbox. The
+execution record must not claim stronger isolation than the selected substrate.
+
+## Execution request
+
+`ExecutionRequestV1` contains exactly one of structured `argv` or an explicitly
+enabled `shell_command`, plus:
+
+- canonical workspace and wall-time limit;
+- a minimal explicit environment (the parent environment is not copied);
+- CPU, address-space, process-count, and output-size limits;
+- `inherit` or `deny` network policy;
+- relative input paths bound to SHA-256 digests;
+- optional immutable or explicitly unresolved container identity.
+
+Declared script operands are digest-checked and replaced with private immutable
+snapshots before launch. Other declared inputs are marked
+`verified-at-launch`; the result never claims they were snapshotted.
+
+Host execution cannot prove network denial and therefore rejects `network:
+deny`. A reviewed container adapter may request denial only when its exact argv
+contains the runtime isolation boundary (`--network none` for Docker or the
+corresponding Apptainer/Singularity network namespace). Container execution
+uses a clean environment and refuses an unsupported-runtime host fallback.
+
+## Execution result
+
+`ExecutionResultV1` separates two identifiers:
+
+- `execution_identity` is the canonical digest of the request and remains the
+  same across retries;
+- `attempt_id` is unique for each actual launch.
+
+Timeout and cancellation terminate and reap the complete process group. The
+result reports the requested limits separately from `limit_report`, which says
+what the POSIX kernel/executor actually enforced. Unsupported requested kernel
+controls fail closed.
+
+The requested `network` value is also separate from `network_report`:
+`inherited`, `isolated`, or `external-unverified`. Normalizing output from an
+external launcher therefore cannot silently turn a requested denial into a
+verified isolation claim.
+
+Inline stdout and stderr are bounded previews. The complete byte streams are
+always written inside `.ari-execution/` as content-addressed artifacts with
+digest and size. Consumers can recover and verify the full output without
+rerunning the command.
+
+## Measurements
+
+`MeasurementSetV1` keeps parameters, measurements, predictions, and scores in
+disjoint namespaces. Each `MeasurementRecordV1` records:
+
+- metric identity and a finite numeric value;
+- a declared unit, or the explicit state `unit_status: missing`;
+- method/source provenance;
+- the parameters under which it was measured;
+- execution identity, attempt identity, terminal status, and exit code;
+- the SHA-256 artifacts supporting the value.
+
+`coding-skill.emit_results` writes only the canonical object under
+`measurement_set`. It rejects non-finite values and values that are not valid
+JSON instead of string-coercing them. The common parser still accepts old flat
+v1 and unversioned files as read-only migration inputs and cross-checks any
+historical mixed document to reject split-brain values. Missing units and
+execution evidence remain explicitly missing rather than being inferred.
+
+For coding-skill output, `scientifically_admissible` is true only when at least
+one measurement exists and every measurement has a declared unit, a successful
+zero-exit execution identity, and at least one evidence artifact. This flag is
+an integrity prerequisite, not a domain-validity judgment; evaluator claim and
+domain gates still apply.
+
+The execution context includes an unguessable, server-issued receipt. At
+emission time coding-skill matches the receipt to the exact workspace,
+execution attempt, status, exit code, and artifact list, then re-hashes every
+artifact. Fabricated contexts, expired server-session receipts, and modified
+logs fail closed before a results file is written. The receipt itself is not
+persisted in the scientific record.
+
+## Schemas and migration
+
+The generated normative schemas are:
+
+- `workspace_ref_v1.schema.json`
+- `execution_request_v1.schema.json`
+- `execution_result_v1.schema.json`
+- `measurement_set_v1.schema.json`
+
+Run `python scripts/sync_skill_metadata.py` to check schema drift. Producers
+must emit the canonical measurement set and consumers must use
+`parse_measurement_document`. The flat writer and coercion path have been
+removed; the legacy reader is deliberately read-only and is tracked in the
+compatibility-support policy.

+# Scientific figure and visual-review contract
+
+ARI separates figure construction from visual judgement. `ari-skill-plot` is
+the only owner of rendered figure bytes; `ari-skill-vlm` reads immutable
+artifacts and reports findings without rewriting them. Stable Python imports
+are exposed by `ari.public.figures` and `ari.public.visual_review`.
+
+## Figure identity
+
+`FigureSpecV1` is declarative. It binds the exact finite data slice and source
+artifact digest to fields, units, scales, aggregation, uncertainty, caption,
+and a fixed style profile. It accepts no Python, SVG, shell, path, or embedded
+image payload. A model may propose admitted fields only; the fixed renderer
+owns all numeric values and output bytes.
+
+`FigureManifestV1` binds the specification to source-data/spec/PNG/PDF
+artifacts and a `FigureEnvironmentV1` containing renderer, Python,
+Matplotlib/backend, platform, font bytes, and optional container identity.
+LLM-planned figures additionally retain the exact prompt and raw response.
+`FigureBatchV1` requires every ID/path/LaTeX/kind map to match its manifests.
+
+Rendering uses a closed workspace, a fixed `Agg` backend, bounded dimensions
+and rows, and atomic writes. Legacy schema-less manifests are accepted only by
+the explicit offline reader; new producers emit v1.
+
+## Feedback lineage
+
+`FigureFeedbackV1` binds one review digest to exactly one parent manifest and
+one next revision. Revisions are capped at two, retain previous artifacts, and
+cannot cross figure IDs. Re-rendering always creates a new manifest and batch
+digest rather than overwriting scientific evidence in place.
+
+## Visual review
+
+Each `VisualReviewV1` binds:
+
+- the exact target artifact bytes, figure/manifest identity, and context digest;
+- a versioned criteria-profile ID and digest;
+- structured issues with severity, evidence, suggestion, and optional region;
+- provider/model/revision, prompt digest, sampling, token/cost status, and the
+  content-addressed raw model response;
+- either `completed` with a bounded score or an explicit typed artifact,
+  limit, model, or schema error.
+
+The server rereads target bytes and checks size/digest before a model call.
+Unsupported, corrupt, oversized, missing, or changed artifacts are failures,
+not empty successful reviews. Model JSON is validated strictly; malformed
+responses become `schema-error` and preserve their raw bytes.
+
+`VisualReviewBatchV1` uses `minimum-fail-closed`: every target remains present,
+any failed target makes the batch score zero, and otherwise the score is the
+minimum individual score. A publication consumer must compare that score with
+the explicit `VisualCriteriaProfileV1.passing_score`; `PaperBuildV1` records
+both the observed and required scores.
+
+## Removed paths and rollback
+
+The runtime no longer executes generated plotting code, infers raster siblings
+from filenames, accepts inline base64 targets, treats invalid model output as a
+successful review, or normalizes VLM results ad hoc in the paper Skill. The
+benchmark plotting duplicate was replaced by the canonical renderer. Published
+v1 contracts and the isolated legacy manifest reader remain available for
+replay; removed producer paths are recoverable by reverting the pre-migration
+component commits, not by silently enabling a compatibility fallback.

+reconciliation. `ari.mcp.connection.SkillConnection` owns process/connection

+policy lives in `ari.mcp.dispatch_support`: runtime `tool_ref` hashing binds the
+canonical manifest identity plus live input/output schemas; phase matching,
+manifest timeout/budget resolution, and bounded trace rendering are kept
+separate from transport state. There is no tool-name timeout table.
+
+`MCPClient.list_tools()` publishes `tool_ref`, `capability_ref`, and resolved
+policy. `call_tool_envelope(tool_ref, args, context=...)` is the canonical call
+boundary and re-checks disabled/phase admission before I/O. It returns
+`ResultEnvelopeV1` from `ari.result`, including typed errors, response digest,
+selection reason, timing, and run/node/phase provenance. A checkpoint-backed
+artifact store externalizes raw text over 4,000 characters under a deterministic
+SHA-256 address; reads verify digest and byte size. `call_tool(name, args)` runs
+through the same normalization and then materializes the historical
+`{"result": text}` / `{"error": message}` shape. Bare names remain only as
+unique migration aliases; federation and future run locks must dispatch by
+`tool_ref`.
+
+Async submitters are also name-independent. `ari.async_tools` defines the
+manifest lifecycle and portable handle models. `MCPClient` resolves lifecycle
+capabilities within the admitted provider to immutable status/result/cancel
+refs, validates provider states against the manifest map, and owns bounded
+polling/cancellation.
+
+The environment boundary is deny-by-default. A complete manifest separately
+declares ordinary names and credential scopes; the child receives neither
+undeclared parent variables nor the parent's home/config directories. Credential
+values may exist only in the connection/proxy environment and its in-memory
+redactor. Locks and result provenance record value-free scope identities. The
+Claude bridge sends only credential variable references to the local shim and
+launches providers behind `secure_stdio_proxy`, because a direct MCP client may
+otherwise merge its full parent environment and bypass core admission.

 # MCP Tools Reference
 
-ARI ships 14 MCP servers (one per `ari-skill-*` package).  This page
+ARI ships 15 MCP servers (one per `ari-skill-*` package).  This page
 is a flat catalogue of every tool the agent can call.  The deep dive
 for each skill lives in its own `README.md`; the section
 [skills.md](skills.md) groups them by responsibility.
 
-`mcp.json` (next to each skill's `pyproject.toml`) is the source of
-truth for tool *names*; the function decorated with `@mcp.tool()` (or
-the entry in `@server.list_tools()` for the older skills) defines the
-arguments and return shape.
+`skill.yaml` is the canonical source of truth for admitted tool names and
+runtime policy. `mcp.json` is a generated compatibility projection. The
+function decorated with `@mcp.tool()` (or the entry in
+`@server.list_tools()` for older skills) defines the arguments and return
+shape; repository conformance checks require that live and manifest names
+match.
 
 The "LLM" column marks tools that are **P2 exceptions** — they call
 an LLM and therefore are not byte-deterministic.

+# Research memory contract
+
+ARI memory is a lineage-scoped index, not scientific evidence. The canonical
+stored form is `ari.memory-record/v1`; the canonical search response is
+`ari.memory-retrieval/v1`; portable snapshots use `ari.memory-backup/v1`.
+Their JSON Schemas are shipped as
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/memory_record_v1.schema.json` and
+`memory_retrieval_v1.schema.json`, plus `memory_backup_v1.schema.json`.
+
+## Immutable records
+
+`MemoryRecordV1` binds the record kind and text to its source run, source node,
+ordered ancestor lineage, artifact references, node-report reference, metric
+pointer, confidence, reproducibility event and creating tool. `record_id` and
+`record_digest` are the same SHA-256 content address over the normalized record
+payload. Retrieval and restore revalidate that address and reject mutation.
+
+Artifact references carry a safe relative path, complete SHA-256 digest, byte
+size, role and `verified`/`unverified` state. A write is `verified` only when the
+writer reads the file under the declared artifact root and obtains the claimed
+digest. A metric pointer requires an explicit unit. A node-report reference
+requires the report digest. Memory text and `unverified` references are never
+sufficient evidence for a paper claim.
+
+Writes are append-only and idempotent by record digest. Reproducibility status
+is represented by a new `reproducibility_event`; it never mutates the target.
+The public MCP surface intentionally has no clear/delete tool. Administrative
+checkpoint purge remains a backend operation used by explicit restore and
+deployment recovery.
+
+## Retrieval provenance
+
+Every search returns backend, client/server version, embedding model and model
+version, ranking method, determinism flag, query digest, candidate/returned
+counts, bound and filter evidence. Letta embedding rank is explicitly
+non-deterministic; the in-memory keyword ranker is marked test-only and
+deterministic. Typed filtering uses the validated canonical record rather than
+mutable backend projections. Legacy unversioned rows are excluded.
+
+## Backup, restore and migration
+
+`ari memory backup` writes deterministic `memory_backup.v1.json.gz` with a
+root digest, sorted record-digest index, verified logical record order and
+per-ReAct-entry digests. Restore
+validates the complete document before writing and supports `skip`, `merge`
+and `overwrite`; records are deduplicated by content digest. The file is
+checkpoint-namespace independent and may be restored into a clean Letta
+deployment.
+
+Runtime launch and resume never inspect legacy memory files. Operators must run
+`ari memory migrate` explicitly. The offline migrator validates v0.5 JSONL,
+converts it to conservative v1 records, writes and verifies a portable backup,
+then archives the source file. Cross-experiment global memory is reported but
+never imported.
+
+## Deployment support
+
+All production modes use Letta; `InMemoryBackend` requires a test-namespace
+marker and cannot be selected by workflow configuration.
+
+| Mode | Status | Scope / gate |
+|---|---|---|
+| Letta Cloud | Supported | HTTPS endpoint and API key; health check required |
+| Docker Compose | Supported, preferred for local workstations | Postgres-backed compose file and clean-start test |
+| Apptainer / Singularity | Supported, preferred on HPC | portable start script, environment-file and runtime checks |
+| pip | Supported fallback | local server only; static clean-launch checks, no silent fallback from a failed container path |
+
+Support owner for all four paths is the ARI maintainers team. The pip fallback
+is retained because containerless hosts remain supported; its status must be
+re-evaluated for v1.1 using deployment issues and usage reports. No deployment
+path may silently fall back to the test backend.
+
+## Consumer rule
+
+Use `get_verified_context` for paper or figure claims. Consumers may display
+ungrounded memory as supplementary context, but only records whose artifact
+references are all verified and whose latest replay event is not
+`rerun_failed` belong in `usable_for_claims`.

+# Orchestrator control plane
+
+`ari-skill-orchestrator` is the external asynchronous control surface for ARI.
+It owns submission, status, cancellation, lineage quotas, authorization, and safe
+result retrieval. It does not own BFTS internals or federated leaf-tool selection.
+
+## Public contracts
+
+All models reject unknown fields and are checked into `ari-skill-orchestrator/schemas/`:
+
+- `RunRequestV1` binds the experiment text, idempotency key, parent, model profile,
+  and all recursion/resource/cost limits to `request_digest`.
+- `RunHandleV1` identifies an exact run, owner, root, depth, and current state.
+- `RunStatusV1` adds timestamps, exit/error state, bounded node progress, and lineage
+  budget usage.
+- `RunResultV1` returns status plus `ArtifactRefV1` values.
+- `ArtifactRefV1` uses the verified `sha256:…` digest as `artifact_id`; it contains
+  role, media type, and size but no filesystem path.
+
+The lifecycle is:
+
+```text
+submitted -> running -> succeeded | failed
+                     -> cancelling -> cancelled | succeeded | failed
+submitted -------------------------> cancelled | failed
+```
+
+Terminal rows are immutable. State transitions and an append-only event record are
+committed in `logs/.ari-orchestrator/runs.sqlite3` using `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`, WAL, and
+full synchronization. An exact `(principal_id, idempotency_key)` retry returns the
+existing handle if the request digest is equal and fails on a different digest.
+
+## Restart and cancellation
+
+Each run starts a small wrapper in a new process session. The wrapper starts `ari run`
+in its own child process group and atomically records a receipt bound to `run_id` and
+`request_digest`. Both wrapper and child identities include `/proc` start ticks, so a
+reused PID is never signalled or accepted as evidence. On restart:
+
+- a live, identity-matching wrapper remains `running`;
+- a valid terminal receipt settles its recorded terminal state;
+- a disappeared process without a terminal receipt fails closed;
+- a submitted row is never automatically relaunched, avoiding duplicate science.
+
+`stop_experiment` first records `cancelling`, signals the wrapper, waits a bounded
+grace interval, then identity-checks and kills child/wrapper process groups if needed.
+
+Durable process execution currently requires Linux `/proc`. The wrapper applies the
+declared CPU count to its process affinity when the platform exposes
+`sched_setaffinity`, and sets the common OpenMP/BLAS thread ceilings for the child.
+Each run receives a private mode-0700 `HOME`; timeout enforcement is owned by the
+wrapper rather than delegated to the experiment.
+
+## Authorization and transports
+
+Stdio uses `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_PRINCIPAL_ID` and optional comma-separated roles in
+`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_PRINCIPAL_ROLES`. Run owners may access their own records; the
+`admin` role may inspect all records. Authorization happens before status detail,
+artifact discovery, cancellation, and lock inspection.
+
+Stdio and MCP Streamable HTTP invoke the same functions and service. Streamable HTTP
+binds to `127.0.0.1` by default and requires
+`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_HTTP_TOKENS_FILE`. The file must be a non-symlink with mode 0600:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "ari.orchestrator-token-digests/v1",
+  "tokens": [
+    {
+      "token_sha256": "<64 lowercase hex characters>",
+      "principal_id": "automation-user",
+      "roles": []
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Only token digests are stored. The adapter implements the MCP SDK `TokenVerifier`, so
+an OAuth resource-server verifier can replace the local file without changing tools or
+service semantics. Configure issuer/resource metadata with
+`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_OAUTH_ISSUER_URL` and `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_OAUTH_RESOURCE_URL`.
+
+## Quotas
+
+Every request declares per-run and lineage bounds. Deployment ceilings are:
+
+| Environment variable | Default |
+|---|---:|
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_ACTIVE_RUNS` | 16 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_NODES_PER_RUN` | 1000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_TOTAL_NODES` | 10000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_DESCENDANT_RUNS` | 1000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_COST_USD` | 10000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_CPUS` | 256 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_TIMEOUT_MINUTES` | 2880 |
+
+The registry derives child depth from the parent and atomically checks root-lineage
+run, node, and estimated-cost consumption. A caller cannot increase an ancestor's
+depth limit. Violations create neither a run row nor a checkpoint.
+
+These values are admission and execution bounds, not a container boundary:
+`estimated_cost_usd` is caller-declared, and memory/GPU isolation is not supplied by
+this service. Experiment processes still run as the orchestrator's Unix identity with
+the configured workspace access. Untrusted or mutually hostile workloads require a
+container, scheduler, or separate executor identity outside this control plane.
+
+## Artifact admission
+
+The public API does not accept filenames. A closed set of root outputs is admitted,
+and EAR files are added only through a verified `evidence.index.json` or
+`ear_published/manifest.lock` v2. Discovery rejects traversal, symlinks (including
+parent components), non-regular files, secret-like names, missing records, extra
+published files, size drift, and digest drift. Reads rehash the content and cap inline
+payloads at 2 MiB. Larger artifacts remain listable by digest but cannot be downloaded
+through `read_artifact`; deployments must expose them through a separately authorized
+artifact store.
+
+`list_skills(run_id)` and `get_workflow(run_id)` require a valid run-bound
+`SKILLS.lock`. They return identity/digest/phase membership only—not entrypoint paths,
+environment names, credential scopes, raw schemas, LLM configuration, or resources.
+
+## Credential and environment boundary
+
+The launcher uses `ari.public.execution.build_minimal_environment`; it never copies the
+parent environment wholesale. Model credentials can cross only through the manifest's
+`model.provider` scope. Credential values are inherited in memory by the child process
+but are absent from request JSON, SQLite, metadata, argv, and runner receipts. The tool
+schema has no API-key argument. A per-run private `HOME` prevents normal credential and
+cache reuse through a shared home directory, but does not replace OS-level isolation.
+
+## Migration and deletion
+
+Normal status/list calls never scan checkpoint directories. For a controlled migration,
+run `python ari-skill-orchestrator/src/server.py --repair-registry`. It imports only
+safe direct-child checkpoints with `experiment.md`; ambiguous or apparently live legacy
+state becomes `failed` and is never relaunched. After verification, remove the old
+checkpoint metadata reader according to the release support window.
+
+Version 2 deleted arbitrary `read_file`/`list_files`, substring run matching,
+environment copying, raw workflow/Skill configuration, request-level credentials,
+scan-derived live state, and the custom REST/SSE implementation. The only network
+adapter is authenticated MCP Streamable HTTP.

+# Paper build contract
+
+`PaperBuildV1` is the immutable record for an ARI-authored scientific paper.
+The JSON Schema is published at
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/paper_build_v1.schema.json`; Skill-facing Python imports
+are available from `ari.public.paper`.
+
+## Build lifecycle
+
+1. `write_paper_iterative` validates native evidence under one
+   `WorkspaceRefV1`, stores every authoring call, and writes
+   `.ari-paper/paper_build.draft.json`.
+2. Text, visual, semantic, and hard-gate review run independently.
+3. `paper_refine` applies only unique, anchor-safe replacements and stores a
+   digest-bound `PaperModelCallBatchV1`.
+4. Code availability is injected deterministically.
+5. Claim links, semantic review, hard gate, and compilation run again over the
+   exact post-injection TeX.
+6. `finalize_paper_build` recomputes and verifies the evidence graph, then writes
+   `paper_build.json` with status `finalized`, `blocked`, or `compile-error`.
+
+Only `finalized` is a successful scientific paper build. A blocked record is
+persisted before the MCP tool reports failure, so the reason remains auditable.
+
+## Required evidence
+
+The authoring input set contains unique roles for:
+
+- `science-data` — native, digest-bound `ScienceDataV1`;
+- `figure-batch` — fixed-renderer `FigureBatchV1`;
+- `retrieval-records` — `ari.retrieval-result/v1` whose snapshot and cassette
+  reproduce through `snapshot_ref`;
+- `ear-manifest` — an EAR generation result with `evidence_index_digest`;
+- `template` and `rubric` — exact bytes selected for this build.
+
+Finalization rereads every input and compares its size and SHA-256 to the draft
+record. Changing an input after authoring is therefore a hard error.
+
+## Revision and model provenance
+
+Every revision binds its direct parent and records:
+
+- exact TeX and BibTeX artifacts;
+- reason and associated model-call ID;
+- claim anchors, citation keys, canonical figure IDs, and math digest.
+
+Every stochastic call stores separate `prompt` and `raw-model-response`
+artifacts plus provider, model, optional immutable revision, sampling values,
+token counts, and reported cost. Multi-pass refinement uses
+`PaperModelCallBatchV1`; each network call remains a distinct item.
+
+The finalizer refuses to finalize if the last transformation drops an admitted
+anchor, citation, figure, or changes mathematical content. A published reader
+for the earlier single refinement-call record remains read-only; new producers
+always emit the batch schema.
+
+## Claim coverage
+
+The shared lexical parser is `ari.public.latex_claims`. Paper-specific binding
+is `ari-skill-paper/src/claim_links.py` and emits
+`ari.paper-claim-links/v1` with:
+
+- final-TeX digest;
+- resolved/unresolved anchors;
+- classified numeric mentions and uncovered result mentions;
+- writer-declared formula operands;
+- canonical figure references;
+- digest of the complete document.
+
+Finalization does not trust this intermediary: it recomputes the whole document
+from the locked ScienceData, FigureBatch, and final TeX. A finalized build has
+zero unresolved anchors and zero uncovered numeric result mentions. Explicit
+numeric exclusions require a content-addressed exclusion policy; the default
+pipeline does not create exclusions.
+
+## Independent review set
+
+`PaperReviewSetV1` keeps four artifacts separate:
+
+- independent text review;
+- independent VLM figure review;
+- evidence-grounded semantic review;
+- deterministic hard-gate report.
+
+The text review must bind an authoring revision and retain its raw model
+response. Every VLM target must match an exact FigureBatch manifest/artifact and
+its bytes. The semantic review evidence digest must match the exact final TeX,
+ScienceData projection, claim-link document, and hard-gate digest. No aggregate
+score can replace these records.
+
+## Compile policy
+
+The compiler accepts only the fixed command names `pdflatex` and `bibtex`, a
+safe root-level main file, canonical `refs.bib`, and graphics declared by
+`FigureBatchV1`. It always adds `-no-shell-escape` and rejects TeX process/file
+I/O, `input`/`include`, `filecontents`, absolute/traversal paths, and undeclared
+graphics before execution.
+
+Compilation uses the common `ExecutionRequestV1` process-group and resource
+limits. Each pass retains complete stdout/stderr artifacts and execution
+identity. Timeout, cancellation, tool absence, nonzero exit, missing PDF, and
+PDF digest mismatch cannot become a completed compile.
+
+## Rubric migration
+
+Paper authoring and review require an explicit `rubric_id`. They do not read
+`ARI_RUBRIC`, guess `neurips`, or silently fall back after a missing rubric.
+`ARI_RUBRIC_DIR` remains a location override.
+
+For an old launch document, run
+`src.rubric_migration.migrate_legacy_rubric_selection`. It resolves the old
+explicit field, `ARI_RUBRIC`, or historical default once, validates the rubric,
+and returns a configuration with `paper_rubric` plus a version/digest migration
+ledger. This helper is not called by runtime authoring.
+
+## Removed runtime paths and rollback
+
+Version 0.3.0 removed per-section `generate_section`, `review_section`, and
+`revise_section`, generic node-tree metric discovery, the model figure inserter,
+duplicate LaTeX parsing, caller-selected compiler paths, and raw subprocess
+compilation. Use whole-document authoring/review, native contracts, the fixed
+renderer, shared parser, and common execution contract respectively.
+
+The rollback boundary is the last v0.2.0 paper Skill commit. Published
+`PaperBuildV1`, legacy rubric migration, and pre-batch call readers are retained
+as data readers; removed unsafe producer paths are not restored by replay.
+

+## Scientific publication contracts
+
+`ari.public.science_data`, `ari.public.figures`, `ari.public.visual_review`,
+`ari.public.latex_claims`, and `ari.public.paper` form the stable transform →
+figure → review → publication boundary. Producers and consumers exchange
+strict, digest-bound models rather than schema-less dictionaries. The
+[ScienceData contract](science_data_contract.md),
+[figure and visual-review contract](figure_visual_contract.md), and
+[PaperBuild contract](paper_build_contract.md) are normative.
+
+## `ari.public.skill_manifest`
+
+`skill.yaml` is the canonical package contract. Consumers load it through the
+public API instead of parsing YAML or scraping `server.py` directly:
+
+```python
+from ari.public.skill_manifest import load_skill_manifest, manifest_digest
+
+manifest = load_skill_manifest("ari-skill-coding/skill.yaml")
+tool = manifest.tool("run_code")  # package defaults already resolved
+identity = manifest_digest(manifest)
+```
+
+`SkillManifestV1` validates package identity, a package-relative Python stdio
+entrypoint, exhaustive ordinary environment declarations, disjoint named
+`CredentialScopeV1` declarations, unique tool names, capability references,
+phases, side effects, determinism, timeout class, permissions, and result schema.
+`TimeoutBudgetV1` makes any caller-controlled timeout argument explicit and
+bounded. `AsyncLifecycleV1` names the semantic status/result/cancel capabilities
+required by a tool whose `timeout_class` is `async`; unresolved or ambiguous
+lifecycle capabilities make the manifest invalid.
+`environment_policy=complete` is required for built-in production Skills.
+Each resolved tool also declares `context_requirement` as `none`, `run`, or
+`node`; dispatch fails closed when the caller does not supply that structured
+context.
+`looks_like_credential_environment_name()` is the shared fail-closed classifier
+used by manifest admission and runtime environment construction.
+Legacy unversioned manifests are always rejected by this public runtime loader.
+Offline migration code may use the internal, read-only
+`ari.migrations.skill_manifest.load_legacy_skill_manifest()` converter; its
+output is default-off and is never admitted implicitly.
+
+## `ari.public.call_context` and `ari.public.result`
+
+New dispatch code uses the typed result contract; the historical dictionary API
+remains a lossless compatibility projection:
+
+```python
+from ari.public.call_context import ToolCallContextV1
+
+tool = client.list_tools()[0]
+envelope = client.call_tool_envelope(
+    tool["tool_ref"],
+    {"query": "example"},
+    context=ToolCallContextV1.for_node(
+        run_id="run-1",
+        node_id="node-1",
+        parent_node_id="root",
+        ancestor_node_ids=["root"],
+        phase="bfts",
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+`RunContextV1` binds a logical run to `run_scope_digest`. `NodeContextV1`
+binds self, parent, and the ordered root-to-parent chain to
+`lineage_digest`. `MCPClient` turns the public context into a tool-bound,
+per-connection HMAC capability; Skills verify it through
+`verify_tool_context`. Signing keys are transport-owned and are never part of
+this public data contract. The normative context schema is
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/call_context_v1.schema.json`.
+
+`ResultEnvelopeV1` records status, structured content, typed error information,
+immutable `tool_ref`, run/node/phase context, selection reason, timing, and a
+SHA-256 response digest. Provenance also records the IDs of active credential
+scopes, never their values. With a checkpoint-backed `ArtifactStore`, raw content
+over 4,000 characters is stored under a deterministic content address and the
+inline field becomes a bounded preview. `materialize_content(store)` verifies
+both digest and byte size before returning the full response. `MCPClient.call_tool`
+passes through the same normalization path and then returns the former
+`{"result": text}` / `{"error": message}` shape for existing callers.
+
+The normative result contract is
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/result_envelope_v1.schema.json`.
+
+Async submissions add an `AsyncToolHandleV1` whose lifecycle endpoints are
+immutable `tool_ref` values resolved from the reviewed manifest capabilities.
+The handle can be serialized and passed to `MCPClient.get_async_status()`,
+`get_async_result()`, `cancel_async()`, or `wait_for_async()` without a bare-name
+lookup. Its normative schema is
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/async_tool_handle_v1.schema.json`.
+
+## `ari.public.skill_lock`
+
+`SKILLS.lock` is the deterministic checkpoint-level snapshot created after the
+live MCP handshake. `SkillsLockV1` binds canonical manifests to exact live
+input/output schemas and phase-specific admitted `tool_ref` sets. Callers may use
+`load_skills_lock()` to verify the document and its self-authenticating registry
+digest; `write_or_verify_skills_lock()` atomically creates the first snapshot and
+requires byte-equivalent semantics thereafter. Drift and corruption are distinct
+typed failures (`SkillLockMismatchError` and `SkillLockCorruptError`).
+
+`LockedCredentialScopeV1` records only scope identity and declared/present
+environment names; a reconnect that changes that authority is rejected before
+provider I/O.
+
+The normative machine-readable contract is
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/skills_lock_v1.schema.json`. Credential values are never
+members of this contract.

+# Qiskit and IBM Quantum experiment profiles
+
+ARI integrates Qiskit through immutable experiments in the federated tool
+registry. It does not treat an upstream MCP collection as scientific authority,
+and it does not register one ARI wrapper per upstream tool. One reviewed source
+can provide many profiles while the model-facing surface remains the registry's
+five operations.
+
+## Trust boundary
+
+The current support record fixes the official Qiskit MCP repository commit,
+provider wheels/source archives, license, dependency locks, complete installed
+package trees, and exact MCP tool contracts. It separately fixes Qiskit 2.5.1,
+Qiskit Aer 0.17.2, and Qiskit IBM Runtime 0.48.0. Runtime verifies the selected
+interpreter, package tree, distributions, entry point, architecture, and policy
+environment before use. A version range, edited installation, alternate module,
+runtime download, or unexpected tool contract is not admitted.
+
+These checks establish software identity and protocol conformance, not physical
+correctness. Scientific admission additionally requires a closed experiment,
+declared limitations, statistical bounds, exact validation/replay evidence, and
+domain review. Relevant upstream primary sources are the
+[Qiskit MCP repository](https://github.com/Qiskit/mcp-servers),
+[IBM's MCP server guide](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/guides/qiskit-mcp-servers),
+[Qiskit QPY API](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/api/qiskit/qpy), and the
+official PyPI release pages linked from the support record.
+
+The official core MCP contract performs circuit analysis/conversion and
+transpilation, but not simulation. The official Runtime MCP contract includes
+account-management operations. ARI exposes neither contract directly. It uses
+only the minimum reviewed leaves internally and implements local Aer execution
+in a separate fixed worker.
+
+## Capability separation
+
+| Backend kind | Capability | Required identity | Reproducibility meaning |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `local-ideal` | `ari.quantum.sample.local-ideal` | Aer method, precision, threads, target, seeds | Seeded software simulation without a noise model |
+| `local-noisy` | `ari.quantum.sample.local-noisy` | All ideal fields plus exact noise model | Seeded simulation of the declared model, not hardware prediction |
+| `remote-simulator` | `ari.quantum.sample.remote-simulator` | Runtime backend/target/access tier and live snapshot | Stochastic remote service result |
+| `ibm-hardware` | `ari.quantum.sample.ibm-hardware` | Hardware target and calibration snapshot plus mitigation | Stochastic measurement of one live calibrated backend |
+
+The broker never substitutes one row for another during invocation or replay.
+Profiles with the same backend kind/name, target, and software stack share an
+independence group. Multiple wrappers or repeated jobs in that group are not
+independent-method agreement.
+
+## Closed experiment contract
+
+Every `QiskitExperimentV1` fixes:
+
+- canonical QPY bytes, SHA-256, QPY format byte, producing Qiskit version,
+  qubit/classical-bit counts, and every parameter binding with `rad` or `1` unit;
+- preset pass manager, optimization level, transpiler seed, and optional initial
+  layout;
+- target qubit count, sorted unique basis gates, directed coupling map, and a
+  digest derived from exactly those fields;
+- shots and expected bitstring probability intervals, including the maximum
+  allowed unlisted probability mass;
+- for local profiles, Aer version, method, precision, CPU/thread bound,
+  simulator seed, and either no noise or the complete declared noise model;
+- for remote profiles, Runtime client version, backend/version, opaque instance
+  digest, access-tier ID, calibration requirement, and mitigation options;
+- exact golden and replay evidence files, limitations, timeout, and polling
+  interval.
+
+QPY header verification prevents a file produced by a different Qiskit version
+from silently retaining an old profile identity. The reviewed Runtime provider
+cannot pass parameter bindings through its sampler contract, so remote profiles
+with bindings fail validation rather than being silently rebound.
+
+The only invocation input is a bounded, safe `request_id`. It is the idempotency
+key and is not scientific input. Circuit bytes, backend, shots, paths, provider
+operations, and environment cannot be overridden by the caller.
+
+## Execution and provenance
+
+Local execution follows this closed sequence:
+
+1. Recheck QPY, profile evidence, provider bytes, and exact distributions.
+2. Ask the official core MCP to transpile for the declared basis/coupling and
+   optimization level.
+3. Validate and store the returned transpiled QPY.
+4. Start the fixed local worker with a minimal environment and exact
+   distribution-version assertions.
+5. Execute Aer with declared method, precision, threads, shots, seed, and noise;
+   validate counts and statistical limits; publish normalized and raw artifacts.
+
+Remote execution opens one isolated Runtime MCP session for the job:
+
+1. Inject the scoped token and select the reviewed channel without publishing
+   account-discovery or account-deletion leaves.
+2. Confirm the opaque instance identity; capture backend properties, coupling,
+   and calibration; reject backend, target, or simulator/hardware-kind mismatch.
+3. Transpile the closed circuit, submit the declared sampler request, and return
+   a common asynchronous handle.
+4. Map provider status into submitted/running/completed/failed/cancelled states.
+   A timeout requests cancellation. A cancellation racing with submission is
+   completed once the provider job ID becomes known.
+5. Validate backend, shots, result type, bitstrings, counts, and declared bounds
+   before publishing the final envelope.
+
+Every raw provider response has a role-distinct, digest-prefixed artifact name.
+This prevents identical bytes used for different roles from confusing artifact
+identity. The stable backend snapshot digest excludes volatile capture time,
+queue count, and operational status, while the original timestamped response is
+still preserved. The result records circuit/transpiled-circuit/target/software/
+method/backend snapshot/calibration/job/result identities and normalized counts.
+
+## Credential handling
+
+`QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN` is the only credential accepted by this adapter. Declare it
+through the Skill's `quantum.ibm-runtime` credential scope. Do not place it in
+`sources.yaml`, a profile, launcher `literal_env`, CLI argument, lock, notebook,
+fixture, or checkpoint.
+
+The core provider and local worker never receive it. The Runtime subprocess gets
+it through a minimal environment bridge. Exact secret values are redacted from
+MCP text, structured content, diagnostics, exceptions, and stderr before they
+cross the provider boundary. Source and lock identities record no token value;
+the IBM instance is represented by an operator-reviewed digest, not its raw CRN.
+Record/replay files must pass the same absence checks.
+
+## Evidence, replay, and interpretation
+
+`ari.qiskit-golden/v1` binds profile ID, experiment digest, and validated counts.
+`ari.qiskit-replay-fixture/v1` also binds invocation arguments, method digest,
+shots, and completed normalized result. Both files must exist and match their
+declared SHA-256; metadata containing only a digest is insufficient.
+
+Record mode additionally captures real raw artifacts and the exact catalog and
+policy selection. Replay requires the same immutable tool identity and returns
+the recorded result without provider packages, network, IBM credentials, or
+backend access. Replay demonstrates provenance-preserving analysis, not that a
+live quantum backend would reproduce the same stochastic counts.
+
+Bell/GHZ fixtures exercise seeded ideal and noisy local execution. Statistical
+bounds are part of the profile and must be justified for the intended claim.
+Passing them does not validate arbitrary circuits, a new noise model, another
+backend, a later calibration, or a larger research conclusion.
+
+## Operator procedure
+
+Start with `ari-skill-tool-registry/providers/qiskit-source.example.yaml` and use
+an isolated exact environment. Optional dependency groups are convenience pins;
+a production provider environment should be built and retained as immutable
+review evidence.
+
+```bash
+cd ari-skill-tool-registry
+python scripts/verify_qiskit.py \
+  --core-python /absolute/qiskit-env/bin/python \
+  --core-package-root /absolute/qiskit-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/qiskit_mcp_server \
+  --experiment /absolute/local-profile.yaml \
+  --smoke --run-profile bell-local-ideal \
+  --artifact-root /absolute/verification-artifacts
+python src/sync_catalog.py
+python src/sync_catalog.py --approve --approve-schema-changes
+```
+
+For Runtime profiles, add both `--runtime-python` and
+`--runtime-package-root`. A remote smoke check may consume quota or submit work
+only when `--run-profile` names a remote profile; package/profile verification
+alone does not submit a job.
+
+Review the pending catalog diff for capabilities, backend lineage, independence
+groups, permissions, schema, evidence, and limitations. Approval is operator
+action outside an active run. Run the registry tests, generated-contract check,
+manifest check, credential redaction test, and offline replay before promotion.
+
+## Update, rollback, and deletion gates
+
+A provider, Qiskit, Aer, Runtime, backend target, mitigation, or circuit update
+creates new immutable support/profile identity. Never mutate an historical
+support record to mean different bytes. Rebuild isolated environments, review
+the upstream diff and licenses, regenerate tool/package-tree/contract digests,
+re-run scientific fixtures, and approve the resulting catalog/schema diff.
+
+Rollback selects the prior support record, environment, profile, QPY/evidence,
+catalog lock, and cassette. First reconcile every submitted remote handle; a
+rollback cannot erase responsibility for a live provider job.
+
+Retiring a Qiskit support line requires zero active catalog references, terminal
+or reconciled remote jobs, replacement/migration notes, successful replay of its
+published cassettes without the provider, and retention of readers needed by the
+support window. Only then may provider environments and unreachable adapter
+branches be removed. QPY, result, cassette, and migration readers remain while
+published evidence still depends on them.

+# Reproduction and grading contract
+
+`ari-skill-paper-re` v1.0 separates an immutable scientific input from every
+execution attempt. A score is publishable only when it is bound to a verified,
+successful reproduction run and all requested judge runs complete.
+
+The checked-in JSON Schemas are under `ari-skill-paper-re/schemas/`. Run
+`python ari-skill-paper-re/scripts/sync_contracts.py` to reject schema drift.
+
+## Records and identity
+
+| Record | Identity and purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `ReproductionPlanV1` | Canonical digest of rubric, input tree, `reproduce.sh`, command, sandbox/image, timeout, resource request, expected artifacts, and policy. |
+| `ReproductionAttemptV1` | One terminal execution, linked to its parent attempt and plan, with environment identity, exact log/output-manifest digests, output-tree digest, missing artifacts, and typed failure evidence. |
+| `ReproductionRunV1` | Ordered contiguous attempt lineage. Only a successful run selects one successful attempt. |
+| `GradeReportV1` | Rubric/paper/run digests, judge identity and independence, all leaf evidence/raw responses, run count, variance, negative controls, call traces, and final validity. |
+
+Every record rejects unknown fields and a digest that does not match its
+canonical finite-JSON payload. Artifact paths are relative, cannot traverse,
+and are verified by digest and byte count before use.
+
+## Workspace layout and retry
+
+For plan digest `<P>`, metadata lives under the caller's source tree:
+
+```text
+.ari-reproduction/
+  <P>/
+    plan.json
+    input-manifest.json
+    input/                         # content-addressed, read-only snapshot
+    run.json
+    attempts/
+      0001-<attempt-id>/
+        work/                      # private writable execution tree
+        output-manifest.json
+  latest.json                     # verified active run pointer
+```
+
+Execution never writes results into the caller's source files. Symlinks,
+non-regular outputs, files above 1 GiB, and trees above 8 GiB are removed from
+the private output and make the attempt fail with `filesystem-policy`.
+`reproduce.log` is written atomically. The output manifest records every added,
+modified, or deleted path and any policy incident.
+
+A repeated successful plan is an idempotent replay after re-verifying its run,
+artifacts, and output tree. A repeated failed/timed-out/cancelled plan creates a
+new attempt whose `parent_attempt_id` points to the preceding attempt. Changing
+the source, rubric, image, policy, resources, or timeout creates a different
+plan rather than silently extending old lineage.
+
+## Sandbox admission
+
+| Substrate | Immutable identity | Default network denial |
+|---|---|---|
+| Docker | Full local `sha256:<image-id>` or `name@sha256:<digest>` | `--network=none`; read-only root, bounded tmpfs, no capabilities, no-new-privileges, PID limit |
+| Apptainer/Singularity | Local regular non-symlink SIF (hashed) or remote `@sha256:<digest>` URI | isolated network namespace with clean environment, contained filesystem, and no home mount |
+| Local | Host/toolchain identity recorded | Requires explicit administrator isolation attestation; otherwise choose `network_policy=inherit` explicitly |
+| SLURM | Digest-bound common HPC handoff plus scheduler/module/resource/runtime evidence | Requires administrator isolation attestation for `deny`; the job uses `--export=NIL` and explicit literals/modules |
+
+The execution environment is constructed from a minimal allowlist and never
+copies the parent environment. `network_policy=inherit` is recorded as
+unverified; it is not represented as isolation. Timeout and cancellation kill
+the full local/container process group, forcibly remove a named Docker
+container, or cancel the scheduler handle before terminalization.
+
+`auto` chooses an available substrate but does not invent an image or weaken a
+policy. If the selected substrate cannot satisfy immutable-image, network,
+GPU, scheduler, or resource constraints, planning/execution fails explicitly.
+
+## Grade validity
+
+`grade_with_simplejudge` requires all of the following:
+
+- a schema-valid rubric whose paper digest matches non-empty supplied paper
+  text;
+- a digest-verified `ReproductionRunV1` with status `succeeded`;
+- every requested judge run to complete;
+- persisted raw per-call and per-leaf responses;
+- completed negative controls below the configured threshold.
+
+Judge/provider failure, schema mismatch, missing/tampered/failed reproduction,
+or unavailable negative controls produces `status=failed` with no scientific
+score. A completed grade whose negative control exceeds the threshold retains
+the observed score for diagnosis but is marked `invalid-negative-control`, not
+`valid`. Skipping controls has the same invalid status. Reusing the rubric
+generator model as judge is reported as `not-independent` rather than being
+presented as an independent audit.
+
+## PaperBench provenance and patch removal
+
+`paperbench_patches.json` pins the exact reviewed upstream Git commit and maps
+each remaining runtime adaptation to upstream symbols, rationale, and a
+deletion gate. An override is accepted only when both `ARI_PAPERBENCH_PATH` and
+the matching `ARI_PAPERBENCH_COMMIT` are supplied and Git confirms that exact
+identity. Package roots are temporarily visible only during bootstrap and are
+then removed from `sys.path`; pip-installed PaperBench is not a fallback.
+
+The compatibility inventory is intentionally shrinking. v1.0 removed:
+
+- the host-local sandbox fallback and `ARI_PHASE1_ALLOW_FALLBACK`;
+- mutable default images and `pb-env` / `pb-reproducer` `:latest` aliases;
+- the `apptainer_image` tool argument and `ARI_PHASE1_SINGULARITY_IMAGE`;
+- source-mutating salvage wrappers and implicit `code_only` grading;
+- duplicated local/Docker/Apptainer/SLURM runner entry points.
+
+A remaining PaperBench adaptation is deleted when its inventory gate passes
+against the pinned upstream suite. A compatibility name or fallback may not be
+reintroduced without a named owner, removal release, migration test, and
+fail-closed security review.

+# Research contracts
+
+ARI freezes the scientific decision between literature retrieval and experiment
+execution as three immutable records:
+
+1. `SurveySnapshotV1` records the pinned provider, query, retrieval time,
+   normalized records, citation edges, artifacts, and whether the original live
+   operation is byte-reproducible.
+2. `IdeaSetV1` records the model, prompt-template digests, sampling settings,
+   seed, adapter/vendor revision, exact source snapshot, admitted candidates,
+   and deterministic rejection reasons.
+3. `ResearchContractV1` is minted from one admitted candidate. It freezes the
+   hypothesis, falsification conditions, metric name, unit, direction,
+   comparison scope, required evidence, citations, limitations, and source
+   digests.
+
+Each record contains a SHA-256 digest over its canonical JSON payload (excluding
+the digest field itself). Parsing verifies that digest. The evaluator consumes
+`ResearchContractV1` verbatim and writes the same `research_contract_digest` to
+`metric_contract.json`; it does not ask an LLM to rename the metric or evidence.
+
+`survey(mode="record")` never changes providers after an outage.
+`survey(mode="replay")` reads only the requested checkpoint artifact, performs no
+network call, and rejects a missing, malformed, or digest-mismatched snapshot.
+Live/record snapshots are marked `byte_reproducible: false`, while the recorded
+snapshot artifact can subsequently be replayed exactly.
+
+The top-level flat `ideas`, `primary_metric`, and related fields are legacy
+checkpoint projections. New consumers must use the typed records. A document
+declaring `typed_schema_version: ari.research-contract/v1` but lacking an admitted
+contract fails closed and cannot downgrade to legacy prose inference.
+
+JSON Schemas are shipped under `ari-core/ari/schemas/`. The stable Skill API is

+Provider cassette layout, verified snapshot references, URL policy, and
+multi-provider alias semantics are specified in the
+[retrieval contract](retrieval_contract.md).

+# Retrieval contract and network policy
+
+ARI separates source acquisition from scientific adoption. `ari-skill-web`
+retrieves and normalizes evidence; Idea, evaluator, and paper components decide
+how that evidence may be used.
+
+## Public records
+
+Every canonical retrieval result has schema `ari.retrieval-result/v1` and
+contains:
+
+- `records`: provider-neutral `ari.retrieval-record/v1` values;
+- `survey_snapshot`: the digest-bound `ari.survey-snapshot/v1` object;
+- `survey_snapshot_digest` and an optional checkpoint-relative `snapshot_ref`;
+- `alias_groups`, which link distinct provider records without collapsing their
+  source lineage.
+
+`RetrievalRecordV1` binds provider, provider record/version, query, retrieval
+time, bibliographic fields, source URL, raw-payload digest, DOI/arXiv/S2 aliases,
+license, and use restriction. The canonical ID is provider-scoped. For example,
+an AlphaXiv record and an arXiv record remain distinct even when both carry the
+same `arxiv:` alias.
+
+## Execution modes
+
+| Mode | Network | Artifact write | Meaning |
+|---|---:|---:|---|
+| `live` | yes | no | Current provider response; not replayable |
+| `record` | yes | yes | One pinned provider plus immutable cassette/snapshot |
+| `replay` | no | no | Verify and return the exact recorded normalized object |
+
+`record` and `replay` require `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR`. A record writes:
+
+```text
+retrieval_cassettes/<raw-cassette-sha256>.json
+retrieval_payloads/<raw-body-sha256>.bin       # when applicable
+retrieval_snapshots/<snapshot-digest>.json
+```
+
+Replay verifies the snapshot's self-digest, content-addressed path, every
+artifact SHA-256, provider, query, operation, parameters, normalized records,
+citation edges, and warnings. The recorded snapshot object is returned without
+changing its digest; `execution_mode: replay` describes the current operation.
+
+A provider outage raises an explicit provider error. `record` never switches to
+another provider, and the removed `both` mode cannot turn a partial provider
+failure into an apparently complete result. To query multiple providers, issue
+separate pinned calls and merge their records by aliases in a higher-level
+broker while retaining all origins.
+
+## URL fetch policy
+
+`fetch_url`:
+
+1. accepts only HTTP(S) and ports 80/443, without URL userinfo;
+2. resolves the hostname once, rejects the request if any answer is non-global,
+   and connects to the validated IP while preserving TLS SNI;
+3. applies the same checks to every redirect and rejects HTTPS downgrade;
+4. enforces redirect, declared/actual byte, and textual content-type limits;
+5. stores the raw body in record mode and prefixes extracted text as untrusted
+   external data.
+
+This closes direct SSRF, mixed-answer DNS, validation/use rebinding, redirect,
+and oversized-body paths. Source text is data, never a tool or system prompt.
+
+## Citation traversal and ranking
+
+`walk_citations` has independent depth, node, and provider-request budgets plus
+cycle detection. Exhaustion returns `partial: true`, a reason, retained records,
+and only edges whose endpoints are retained.
+
+`search_papers`, `web_search`, `fetch_url`, and `walk_citations` never call an
+LLM. `rerank_retrieval_records` is a separate stochastic tool and records model,
+API-base identity, temperature, prompt digest, input digest, and raw-output
+digest. Multi-query collection is composed explicitly above this boundary.
+
+## Consumer rule
+
+Idea generation accepts `survey_snapshot_ref`; paper generation resolves the
+`snapshot_ref` in a recorded retrieval result. Both use the common verified
+snapshot loader. A typed retrieval result without a recorded reference cannot
+silently downgrade to caller-supplied inline papers. Public retrieval writers
+emit only canonical `records`.
+
+See also [Research contracts](research_contracts.md) and
+[Execution contract](execution_contract.md).

+# Science data and EAR integrity
+
+`ari.science-data/v1` is the only format emitted by new transform runs. It has
+three independently content-addressed sections:
+
+- `raw`: the tree, typed `MeasurementSetV1` records, execution configuration,
+  environment, and exact source artifacts;
+- `derived`: summaries and numeric claims computed with the core-owned formula
+  registry; and
+- `interpretation`: an optional model annotation bound to `raw_digest` and
+  permanently marked `claim_eligible=false`.
+
+`deterministic_digest` excludes interpretation. Consequently, changing a model,
+prompt, or prose annotation cannot change the identity of measurements or
+derived claims. `science_data_digest` covers the complete record. Consumers
+must parse native records and use `science_data_projection` for the bounded flat
+gate interface; they must never merge interpretation values into measurements.
+
+Only canonical measurement records with a completed execution identity are
+claim eligible. Untyped node metrics remain visible as `legacy_metrics` but do
+not produce summaries or claims. Missing or identity-mismatched node reports
+make annotation unavailable; live execution does not scan `trace_log` or an
+arbitrary work directory.
+
+Pre-v1 artifacts are converted offline:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/migrate_science_data.py old.json science_data.v1.json --run-id RUN_ID
+```
+
+Migration is conservative: old measurements stay non-claimable and unbound old
+claims are not admitted. Native parsing never performs this conversion
+implicitly.
+
+EAR `manifest.lock` v2 binds sorted file content and logical roles, curation
+policy, evidence index, `SKILLS.lock`, `CATALOG.lock`, cassettes,
+ResultEnvelope artifacts, scientific contracts, and admission reports. Curate
+verifies the evidence index before a recoverable directory swap. Publish and
+clone independently re-derive every digest; backend failure leaves the curated
+local bundle untouched. Manifest v1 remains read-only for already published
+bundles.

-### Tools
+Skills are MCP servers that provide tools to the ARI agent. Tools are deterministic where possible; LLM-using and live-data tools are explicitly annotated. **15 skills total** (13 default, 2 default-off: the external orchestrator and federated tool registry).

-
-#### `job_status(job_id)`
+Package defaults avoid duplicating identical policy for every tool; a tool may
+override any policy field. `mcp.json` is no longer hand-maintained source. It is
+a generated compatibility view for existing dashboard and external consumers:
 
-Poll SLURM job status.
-
-```python
-result = job_status("12345")
-# Returns: {"status": "COMPLETED", "exit_code": 0, "stdout": "MFLOPS: 284172"}
-# Status values: PENDING, RUNNING, COMPLETED, FAILED, ERROR
+```bash
+python scripts/sync_skill_metadata.py --write
+python scripts/check_skill_manifests.py
 ```
 
-#### `job_cancel(job_id)`
-
-Cancel a running or pending SLURM job.
+The conformance gate rejects an unversioned/invalid manifest, package-version
+drift, statically declared runtime tool-name drift, workflow reference or phase
+drift, stale `mcp.json`, undeclared static environment reads, a dynamic
+environment read whose names cannot be proven, an incomplete environment
+policy, and name collisions among default-enabled Skills. A live
+`tools/list` comparison is enforced for every locked run; moving the same check
+into package-only CI remains a P1 follow-up. Runtime loading and discovery
+reject unversioned manifests. The read-only
+`ari.migrations.skill_manifest.load_legacy_skill_manifest()` utility can inspect
+or convert old metadata in memory, but marks it default-off and is not an
+admission path.
+
+All built-in manifests use `environment_policy: complete`. `required_env` and
+`optional_env` are the exhaustive ordinary-variable allowlist. Secret-like names
+are rejected there and must instead belong to exactly one named
+`credential_scopes` entry. Scope values are supplied only to the admitted Skill;
+the manifest, HTTP bridge request, `SKILLS.lock`, result provenance, and traces
+contain scope IDs and variable-name presence, never credential values.
+
+At spawn, ari-core constructs a new environment rather than copying
+`os.environ`: only a small platform/TLS baseline, manifest-declared names, and
+core-owned isolated `HOME`/XDG/Python settings are present. The MCP SDK's
+implicit `HOME`/`USER` baseline is explicitly overridden. Missing required
+variables, credential classification errors, and credential-scope changes on
+reconnect fail closed. Provider stdout, structured MCP results, exceptions, and
+stderr are value-redacted. For Claude CLI direct MCP, a secure stdio proxy
+applies the same exact environment and redaction after the CLI's own parent-env
+merge; credential references are materialized only inside the local shim, in a
+mode-0600 temporary config that is removed immediately. Claude debug logging is
+disabled when credentials are active, while redacted stream events remain in
+`tool_calls.jsonl`.
+
+All built-in tools now declare `ari.result-envelope/v1`. The typed
+`MCPClient.call_tool_envelope()` path normalizes MCP text/structured results,
+classifies tool/transport/protocol/timeout/cancellation errors, and stores raw
+responses over 4,000 characters content-addressably when a run artifact store is
+available. `MCPClient.call_tool()` remains a lossless compatibility projection to
+the historical `{"result": text}` / `{"error": message}` dictionary.
+
+Timeout selection has no tool-name table. Each resolved tool receives a
+manifest `timeout_class`; a caller-controlled wall-time field affects the outer
+transport timeout only when `timeout_budget` explicitly names that argument,
+buffer, unit, and maximum. Undeclared arguments cannot enlarge the budget.
+
+An async submitter declares `async_lifecycle` with its handle field and semantic
+status/result/cancel capabilities. Admission resolves those capabilities to
+immutable runtime `tool_ref` values and returns an `AsyncToolHandleV1` in the
+result envelope. `MCPClient.get_async_status()`, `get_async_result()`,
+`cancel_async()`, and `wait_for_async()` use only those bound references. Provider
+states are mapped by the reviewed manifest; missing handles and unknown states
+fail as typed protocol errors. The normative portable-handle schema is
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/async_tool_handle_v1.schema.json`. SLURM submit and the
+external ARI orchestrator already use this same lifecycle contract.
+
+`capability_ref` expresses semantic capability and may be shared by alternative
+implementations. Runtime name is not evidence that two tools are equivalent.
+`tools/list` entries now carry a runtime `tool_ref` bound to the normalized
+manifest and live input/output schemas. Typed dispatch accepts that immutable
+reference; a unique bare name remains migration-only. A duplicate bare tool name is an
+admission error rather than last-writer-wins.
+
+On first live discovery for a run, ari-core atomically writes
+`{checkpoint}/SKILLS.lock`. The lock includes every configured provider's
+manifest/provider digest, the exact input and output schemas returned by
+`tools/list`, resolved tool policy, disabled tools, and the admitted immutable
+`tool_ref` set for each runtime phase. A second process or resumed run must
+produce the exact same registry digest before dispatch is allowed. Manifest,
+schema, provider, phase, or disabled-tool drift fails closed; an enabled provider
+that cannot start is also an admission error rather than a silently smaller
+catalog. A stage subprocess may start only its owning provider, but must verify
+that exact provider/tool subset against the already-created full lock and cannot
+create or replace the authoritative snapshot. The lock contains ordinary
+environment names plus value-free credential scope records (`scope_id`,
+declared/present names, identity digest), but never credential values. The same
+active scope IDs are copied into result provenance. Its normative schema is
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/skills_lock_v1.schema.json`.
+
+The external orchestrator is therefore default-off
+and is not injected into the experiment agent's tool set.
+
+To add a built-in Skill, add one package-level manifest and server, then regenerate
+compatibility metadata. To add a large external collection, implement one
+`CatalogSource`/provider adapter through the default-off federated tool registry;
+do not add a core registration record per leaf tool. See
+[Federated Scientific Tool Registry](tool_registry.md).

 # }
 ```
 
-`expected_metrics` and `expected_params` are strictly disjoint by contract — a name appears in one or the other, never both. The LLM-fallback path is the only one that fills `expected_params` (the regex path covers the experiment.md-format quick path, which has no consistent "## Parameters" header to mine). `loop.py` threads `expected_params` into `MetricSpec` so the LLM evaluator emits a typed `params` / `measurements` split on each node, which `transform-skill::nodes_to_science_data` then propagates to `configurations[*].parameters` (C contract — see also the D contract via `coding-skill::emit_results`).
+If no admitted contract exists, parser fields remain evidence only and the
+result says `human-review-required`.
 
-`make_metric_spec` also builds an **idea-owned run-level `metric_contract`** from the idea's `primary_metric`, its structured `falsifiable_claims`, and the `correctness_required` / `ceiling_must_be_measured` requirement flags. It persists this to `{checkpoint}/metric_contract.json` (next to `idea.json` / `tree.json`). The contract is idea-owned so an agent cannot drop a claim or requirement to dodge the check; it is read back by `transform-skill::nodes_to_science_data` (grafted onto `science_data.metric_contract`) and enforced by the deterministic hard gate.

+Explicit LLM proposal for legacy ideas. It records complete provenance and

+admission.

-Deterministic claim/evidence hard gate (execution data fidelity). **No LLM**. Verifies that science_data claims reference executed nodes, re-computes `numeric_assertions` from `results.json` and checks the paper-reported numbers within tolerance, detects uncovered result numbers per section policy, and checks figure existence. Thin MCP wrapper over ari-core's `run_hard_gate` (`ari.public.claim_gate`). In strict mode the `final` phase returns `{"error": ...}` when blocking errors exist so the stage runner raises and `finalize_paper` is skipped; the `draft` phase and warn/off mode never block.

+# Federated Scientific Tool Registry
+
+`ari-skill-tool-registry` imports large MCP collections behind five stable
+operations: `discover`, `describe`, `invoke`, `get_status`, and `get_result`.
+It is default-off. The model never receives every leaf schema, and adding a
+collection does not require editing one file per leaf.
+
+## Boundary and lifecycle
+
+```text
+few reviewed sources.yaml records
+  -> isolated provider discovery
+  -> canonical descriptors and visible origin chains
+  -> graph, supply-chain, conformance, and scientific admission
+  -> reviewed CATALOG.lock + derived catalog.index.json
+  -> immutable five-operation runtime broker
+```
+
+`sources.yaml` is operator input and is not read by runtime. A changed sync emits
+pending artifacts and a review diff. Only explicit `--approve` replaces the
+active lock, and an already-running broker never observes that replacement.
+
+Each `tool_ref` is an opaque digest of execution-relevant identity: provider and
+adapter versions/digests, provider leaf name, schema, explicit defaults,
+permissions and effects, determinism, semantic execution metadata, method
+identity, and async lifecycle. Policy and source aliases are deliberately
+excluded, so policy reassessment cannot masquerade as implementation drift.
+
+## Progressive disclosure
+
+`discover` returns bounded summaries and at most 25 results per page. `describe`
+returns at most 4,000 characters per page and binds its cursor to the catalog,
+tool, and section. `invoke` accepts only a full `tool_ref` from the active lock;
+an unqualified name, stale identity, invalid arguments, or insufficient admission
+fails closed. Provider-specific output is normalized to
+`ari.result-envelope/v1`.
+
+## Admission levels
+
+| Level | Required evidence |
+|---|---|
+| `discovered` | Candidate and transparent leaf origin are known |
+| `callable` | MCP conformance, immutable provider pin, verified launcher, allowed permissions |
+| `reproducible` | Callable plus pinned dependencies and offline replay fixture |
+| `scientifically_admitted` | Reproducible plus validation, limitations, semantics, units, and method identity |
+
+Discovery is not authority. The registry reports evidence and policy decisions;
+it does not declare an upstream collection scientifically correct.
+
+## Multiple collections and conflicts
+
+Collections compose through the same canonical descriptor and adapter boundary.
+Execution-identical aliases collapse while retaining every source/origin chain.
+Tools with a similar capability remain distinct by default. The catalog records
+whether overlap is an exact duplicate, the same backend, a semantic near-match,
+or an independent method. Diverse discovery can prefer different independence
+groups, but results are not averaged automatically and disagreement is preserved.
+
+This allows ToolUniverse, future collection packages, OpenROAD flows, quantum
+simulators, or other MCP bundles to coexist without embedding package-specific
+routing logic in the agent. A direct stdio MCP source needs no custom leaf code.
+A non-stdio collection needs one `CatalogSource` plus one `ProviderAdapter`, with
+contract, supply-chain, record/replay, and scientific conformance fixtures.
+
+## ToolUniverse v1.3.1 adapter
+
+ToolUniverse is integrated as one compact collection, not thousands of public
+MCP tools. The registry itself does not import ToolUniverse. The isolated
+provider process exposes ToolUniverse's compact discovery/info/execute surface;
+operator sync expands selected leaves into canonical descriptors, and runtime
+dispatch maps an exact locked leaf back through `execute_tool`.
+
+The reviewed support record binds the upstream repository commit/tag, PyPI
+wheel and sdist, Apache-2.0 license file, upstream dependency lock, compact tool
+contract, and a canonical digest of all 3,542 non-cache files in the installed
+package. Both sync and runtime verify that complete tree and the exact
+shell-free `tooluniverse.smcp_server:run_stdio_server` callable. Version ranges,
+dynamic installation, an altered package tree, and a different entry point fail
+closed.
+
+Tool selection uses declarative category/type profiles rather than per-leaf
+wrappers. An ARI-side category filter is applied even when ToolUniverse's CLI
+loads a broader background set, and runtime additionally permits only leaf names
+in the active `CATALOG.lock`. Dynamic MCP loaders, agentic/composition/code
+execution, credential-requiring leaves, ambiguous/unreviewed profiles, and
+invalid schemas are quarantined. ToolUniverse v1.3.1's known property-level
+`required: true` dialect is deterministically converted to the standard parent
+`required` array and recorded in provenance; other invalid schema forms are not
+repaired.
+
+Argument validation always uses the locked canonical schema. Unknown fields,
+wrong JSON types, and missing required fields fail in record mode; upstream
+coercion is disabled, and explicit `null` is rejected because v1.3.1 silently
+removes it. ToolUniverse result caching, persistence, update checks, hooks, and
+search are disabled. Every result records collection/wheel/provider/leaf-spec
+identity and `upstream_cache: disabled`; ARI cassette/EAR is the only replay
+authority. Collection trust is capped below leaf replay or scientific
+validation, so importing ToolUniverse never scientifically admits its leaves.
+
+Bulk updates always produce a pending catalog diff. Changes to input schema,
+output schema, or defaults are grouped by stable provider/leaf identity and
+cannot be approved with ordinary `--approve`; they also require the explicit
+`--approve-schema-changes` flag. This keeps running experiments on their old
+lock and makes large collection upgrades reviewable.
+
+## OpenROAD profile adapter
+
+OpenROAD-MCP is integrated through the same source/descriptor/broker contracts,
+but its upstream interactive tools are never canonical leaves. A reviewed
+experiment profile is the leaf. Its execution identity includes a fixed command
+sequence, exact input workspace, OpenROAD/ORFS commits and executable/image
+digests, PDK and standard-cell library identity/license scope, architecture,
+threads, seed, declared outputs, and metric contracts.
+
+Only `request_id` crosses the invocation boundary. The adapter rejects arbitrary
+Tcl/shell, caller paths, cwd and environment; its flat brace-list grammar cannot
+perform Tcl substitution. Inputs are re-digested after copying to an isolated
+run workspace. Output discovery is declaration-based: filesystem scanning is
+used only to reject undeclared or symlinked files. Metrics carry a numeric value,
+unit, corner, mode, stage, source-report digest, and JSON pointer. Exact golden
+and replay fixture files are validated before a source is admitted.
+
+Profiles choose `local-mcp` or `slurm`; this choice and its resources/container
+are part of both experiment and method identity. In local mode the upstream
+process remains connected for the whole interactive session. A sentinel command
+queued after each fixed flow command prevents the upstream short output-lull
+heuristic from being treated as completion. All terminal paths terminate the
+session; interruption cannot resume an ephemeral local MCP session and therefore
+fails closed.
+
+SLURM mode compiles the same reviewed closed commands to a digest-pinned Tcl
+program and runs a copied, digest-pinned standard-library worker through C06
+`JobRequestV1`. It requires one node/task, exact `cpus_per_task == threads`, a
+canonical shared work root, and a clean/contained SIF whose digest equals the
+toolchain image digest. The compute-node worker rechecks executable, Tcl, and
+architecture identity before invoking OpenROAD without a shell. Scheduler handle,
+normalized status, environment/module/container digests, logs, and provenance are
+included in the result and EAR. Cancel waits for terminal scheduler state before
+workspace deletion; an ambiguous control/transport result preserves the workspace
+for ledger reconciliation.
+
+Completed outputs, scheduler logs/provenance, and success/failure/cancel transcripts are stored
+content-addressably. Provider-returned artifact references are an internal
+adapter protocol: the broker removes the reserved field and independently checks
+safe digest-prefixed names, symlink absence, size, and SHA-256 before adding them
+to `ResultEnvelopeV1`. Record/replay keeps those references without contacting
+the provider. Profiles sharing the same design inputs and PDK/library use one
+independence group, so version disagreement is not counted as independent
+scientific evidence.
+
+## Qiskit profile adapter
+
+The official Qiskit core and IBM Runtime MCP providers are supply-chain inputs,
+not public catalog leaves. One reviewed `QiskitExperimentV1` becomes one virtual
+async leaf. Its QPY circuit/version, parameter units, transpilation target and
+seed, shots, simulator/noise/Runtime backend, mitigation, evidence, and
+limitations are immutable; the caller supplies only `request_id`.
+
+Local ideal, local noisy, remote simulator, and IBM hardware sampling use four
+different capability references. ARI uses the official core MCP for transpiling
+and an exact distribution-checked worker for Aer execution. Remote profiles use
+only the reviewed Runtime setup, backend snapshot, sampler, status, result, and
+cancel leaves; account-management leaves are never published. Backend/target
+mismatch fails before submission, and every live snapshot and job/result record
+is retained as a verified artifact.
+
+`QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN` reaches only the isolated Runtime process through the named
+credential scope and is exact-value redacted at the provider boundary. Locks,
+cassettes, artifacts, and identities contain neither the token nor a raw
+instance CRN. See [Qiskit and IBM Quantum experiment profiles](qiskit_profiles.md)
+for the scientific contract, operator procedure, update/rollback, and deletion
+gates.
+
+## Record, replay, and EAR
+
+Record mode stores exact normalized arguments, catalog and policy digests,
+selection reason, rejected alternatives, raw response digest or artifact, and
+the normalized result. Replay uses the same cassette key and matching catalog
+without starting a provider. `{checkpoint}/ear/catalog/` contains `CATALOG.lock`,
+value-free provenance, cassettes, and content-addressed raw artifacts; the
+default EAR curator includes this directory.
+
+## Operator procedure
+
+```bash
+cd ari-skill-tool-registry
+python src/sync_catalog.py                 # create or write pending review
+python src/sync_catalog.py --approve       # only after reviewing the diff
+python src/sync_catalog.py --approve --approve-schema-changes  # schema review
+python scripts/verify_tooluniverse.py --help
+python scripts/verify_openroad.py --help
+python scripts/verify_qiskit.py --help
+python scripts/sync_contracts.py           # CI drift check
+pytest -q
+```
+
+Never add a hand-written production record per leaf, expose leaf schemas directly
+as LLM tools, refresh the catalog during a run, dispatch a bare name, return raw
+provider-shaped results, or register static fixtures in production. Those paths
+are excluded by the contract and regression suite.

+# 执行与测量契约
+
+ARI 通过 `ari.public.execution` 统一工作区、本地或容器进程、完整日志与科学测量；
+调度器生命周期仍由 `ari-skill-hpc` 负责。
+
+## 封闭工作区
+
+`WorkspaceRefV1` 固定一个规范化绝对根目录，拒绝 `..`、根目录外绝对路径和符号链接
+逃逸。读写通过目录文件描述符及 `O_NOFOLLOW` 遍历每个路径分量；写入使用私有临时
+文件、`fsync` 和原子重命名。系统不会把被拒绝的路径悄悄改成 basename。
+
+这只是 ARI 工具及其声明输入/产物的文件访问边界，并不是任意子代码的主机文件系统
+沙箱。不可信任为 ARI 服务账号权限的代码必须使用经审查的容器、调度器隔离或其他
+操作系统沙箱；执行记录不得声称比所选 substrate 更强的隔离。
+
+## 执行请求与结果
+
+`ExecutionRequestV1` 只允许结构化 `argv` 或显式 `shell_command` 二选一，并记录
+workspace、timeout、最小环境、CPU/memory/process/output 限制、网络策略、输入
+digest 和容器身份。声明的脚本在启动前验证 SHA-256，并由私有不可变快照执行。
+
+父进程环境不会整体复制。主机无法证明 `network: deny` 时请求会被拒绝；容器仅在
+精确 argv 含 Docker 或 Apptainer/Singularity 网络隔离时记录 deny。容器使用 clean
+environment，未知 runtime 不会静默降级到主机。
+
+`execution_identity` 是请求的规范 digest，重试时不变；`attempt_id` 每次启动唯一。
+timeout/cancel 会终止并回收整个进程组。请求的限制与 `limit_report` 中实际由
+kernel/executor 强制的限制分开记录，无法强制的请求 fail closed。
+
+请求字段 `network` 也与执行结果 `network_report` 分离；后者只能是 `inherited`、
+`isolated` 或 `external-unverified`。因此外部 launcher 的归一化结果不能把请求的
+deny 静默升级成已经验证的网络隔离。
+
+内联 stdout/stderr 只是有界预览。完整字节流始终以 digest 和 size 写入
+`.ari-execution/` 的 content-addressed artifact。
+
+## 测量
+
+`MeasurementSetV1` 将 parameter、measurement、prediction、score 放入互不重叠的
+命名空间。每个 `MeasurementRecordV1` 保存有限数值、显式单位或
+`unit_status: missing`、provenance、parameters、execution identity/status/exit code
+、execution attempt 以及证据 artifact digest。系统不推断单位或来源。
+
+`coding-skill.emit_results` 只在 `measurement_set` 中写 canonical object。非有限值或
+无法表示为 JSON 的值会被拒绝，而不会被强制转换为字符串。公共 parser 仍把旧 v1 或
+无版本文件作为只读迁移输入；历史混合文档若同时携带两种表示，则会交叉核对并拒绝
+split-brain 值。
+
+只有至少存在一条测量，且所有测量都有单位、成功的 zero-exit execution identity 和
+证据 artifact 时，coding-skill 才返回 `scientifically_admissible: true`。这只是完整性
+前提，不能替代后续 evaluator 的领域与 claim 验证。
+
+execution context 还包含不可猜测、由服务器签发的 receipt。写入时会把 receipt 与
+workspace、execution attempt、status、exit code 和 artifact 列表逐项核对，并重新计算
+每个 artifact 的 hash。伪造 context、服务器会话结束后失效的 receipt 或已修改日志都会
+在写 results file 前 fail closed；receipt 本身不会写入科学记录。
+
+规范生成 schema 为 `workspace_ref_v1.schema.json`、`execution_request_v1.schema.json`、
+`execution_result_v1.schema.json` 和 `measurement_set_v1.schema.json`。运行
+`python scripts/sync_skill_metadata.py` 检查 drift。flat writer/coercion 已删除；legacy
+reader 保持严格只读，并按 compatibility support policy 的复审节点管理。

+# 科学图表与视觉审查契约
+
+ARI 将图表构造与视觉判断分离。`ari-skill-plot` 是渲染图像字节的唯一所有者；
+`ari-skill-vlm` 读取不可变工件并报告问题，不会重写工件。稳定的 Python import 由
+`ari.public.figures` 与 `ari.public.visual_review` 提供。
+
+## 图表身份
+
+`FigureSpecV1` 是声明式规范。它将精确且有限的数据切片及源工件摘要绑定到字段、单位、
+坐标尺度、聚合、不确定性、标题和固定样式配置。它不接受 Python、SVG、shell、路径或
+嵌入图像 payload。模型只能提出已准入的字段；所有数值与输出字节均由固定渲染器负责。
+
+`FigureManifestV1` 将规范绑定到 source-data/spec/PNG/PDF 工件，以及包含渲染器、Python、
+Matplotlib/backend、平台、字体字节和可选容器身份的 `FigureEnvironmentV1`。由 LLM 规划的
+图表还保留确切 prompt 与原始 response。`FigureBatchV1` 要求所有 ID/path/LaTeX/kind map
+与各 manifest 一致。
+
+渲染在封闭 workspace 中进行，使用固定 `Agg` backend、受限尺寸与行数以及原子写入。
+无 schema 的 legacy manifest 仅由显式离线 reader 接受；新 producer 只生成 v1。
+
+## Feedback lineage
+
+`FigureFeedbackV1` 将一个 review digest 精确绑定到一个 parent manifest 和下一个 revision。
+revision 最多两次，保留此前工件，且不得跨 figure ID。重新渲染总会建立新的 manifest 与
+batch digest，不会原地覆盖科学证据。
+
+## 视觉审查
+
+每个 `VisualReviewV1` 绑定：
+
+- 目标工件的确切字节、figure/manifest 身份及 context digest；
+- 带版本的 criteria-profile ID 与 digest；
+- 包含 severity、evidence、suggestion 和可选 region 的结构化问题；
+- provider/model/revision、prompt digest、sampling、token/cost 状态，以及内容寻址的原始
+  model response；
+- 带受限分数的 `completed`，或显式类型化的 artifact/limit/model/schema error。
+
+server 在调用模型前重新读取目标字节并检查大小与摘要。不支持、损坏、过大、缺失或发生变化的
+工件都会失败，不能成为空的成功审查。模型 JSON 采用严格验证；格式错误的 response 成为
+`schema-error`，同时保留原始字节。
+
+`VisualReviewBatchV1` 使用 `minimum-fail-closed`：每个目标都必须保留，任一目标失败则 batch
+score 为零，否则取各项 score 的最小值。publication consumer 必须将该分数与显式的
+`VisualCriteriaProfileV1.passing_score` 比较；`PaperBuildV1` 同时记录 observed 与 required score。
+
+## 已删除路径与回滚
+
+runtime 不再执行生成的 plotting code、不再从文件名推断 raster sibling、不接受 inline base64
+target、不把无效模型输出视为成功审查，也不在 paper Skill 中临时规范化 VLM 结果。benchmark
+中的重复 plotting 已由 canonical renderer 取代。已发布的 v1 契约与隔离的 legacy manifest reader
+仍用于 replay；已删除 producer 路径只能通过还原迁移前的组件 commit 恢复，不能通过静默
+compatibility fallback 启用。
+

+# 研究记忆契约
+
+ARI 记忆是谱系作用域的索引，而不是科学证据本身。规范存储格式为
+`ari.memory-record/v1`，搜索响应为 `ari.memory-retrieval/v1`，可移植快照使用
+`ari.memory-backup/v1`。JSON Schema 位于
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/memory_record_v1.schema.json`、
+`memory_retrieval_v1.schema.json` 与 `memory_backup_v1.schema.json`。
+
+## 不可变记录
+
+`MemoryRecordV1` 将 kind/text 与 source run/node、有序 ancestor、artifact、
+node report、带单位 metric、confidence、可重现性事件和创建 tool 绑定。
+`record_id` 与 `record_digest` 是规范化 payload 的同一 SHA-256 内容地址；检索和
+恢复会重新验证并拒绝篡改。
+
+artifact ref 包含安全相对路径、完整 SHA-256、字节数、role 和
+`verified`/`unverified`。只有 writer 在声明 root 下读取真实文件且 digest 相同时才标为
+`verified`。metric 必须显式给出单位，node-report ref 必须给出 report digest。
+记忆文本或 `unverified` ref 不能单独作为论文证据。
+
+写入仅追加，并按 record digest 幂等。可重现性状态以新的
+`reproducibility_event` 追加，不修改目标。公共 MCP 刻意不提供 clear/delete tool；
+checkpoint purge 仅作为显式恢复和部署修复的管理操作。
+
+## 检索来源
+
+每次搜索返回 backend、client/server version、embedding model/version、ranking、
+determinism、query digest、候选/返回数量、边界和 filter evidence。Letta embedding
+排序明确标为非确定性。类型过滤使用已验证的规范记录，而非可变投影；旧的无版本行会被排除。
+
+## 备份、恢复与迁移
+
+`ari memory backup` 生成确定性的 `memory_backup.v1.json.gz`，包含根 digest、
+排序的 record-digest 索引、经验证的逻辑 record order 和逐 ReAct-entry digest。
+恢复在任何写入前验证完整文档，支持
+`skip` / `merge` / `overwrite`，并按内容 digest 去重。备份不依赖 checkpoint
+namespace，可恢复到全新的 Letta 部署。
+
+run/resume 不读取旧记忆文件。v0.5 JSONL 必须显式运行 `ari memory migrate`：验证、
+转换为 v1、成功写出 portable backup 后才归档源文件。跨实验 global memory 只报告，
+不导入。
+
+## 部署支持
+
+所有生产模式都使用 Letta。`InMemoryBackend` 需要 test marker，且不能由 workflow 选择。
+
+| 模式 | 状态 | 范围 / gate |
+|---|---|---|
+| Letta Cloud | 支持 | HTTPS endpoint/API key；必须通过 health check |
+| Docker Compose | 支持，本地工作站首选 | Postgres compose 与 clean-start test |
+| Apptainer / Singularity | 支持，HPC 首选 | portable start script、env/runtime 检查 |
+| pip | 支持的 fallback | 无容器本地服务、静态 clean-launch test；容器失败后不静默回退 |
+
+四种路径的 support owner 均为 ARI maintainers。为无容器主机保留 pip，并在 v1.1
+依据部署 issue 与使用报告重新评估。任何路径都不得静默回退到 test backend。
+
+## 消费规则
+
+论文或图表声明应使用 `get_verified_context`。未验证记忆可作为补充上下文显示，但只有
+全部 artifact 均 verified 且最新重跑事件不是 `rerun_failed` 的记录才进入
+`usable_for_claims`。

+# Orchestrator 控制平面
+
+`ari-skill-orchestrator` 是 ARI 对外的异步控制面。它负责 submission、status、cancellation、
+lineage quota、authorization 与安全的结果读取，不负责 BFTS 内部实现或 federated leaf-tool selection。
+
+## 公开契约
+
+所有 model 都拒绝未知字段，并已检入 `ari-skill-orchestrator/schemas/`：
+
+- `RunRequestV1` 将 experiment text、idempotency key、parent、model profile 及所有
+  recursion/resource/cost limit 绑定到 `request_digest`；
+- `RunHandleV1` 标识确切的 run、owner、root、depth 与当前 state；
+- `RunStatusV1` 增加 timestamp、exit/error state、受限 node progress 与 lineage budget usage；
+- `RunResultV1` 返回 status 和 `ArtifactRefV1` 值；
+- `ArtifactRefV1` 使用已验证的 `sha256:…` digest 作为 `artifact_id`，包含 role、media type 与
+  size，但不包含 filesystem path。
+
+生命周期如下：
+
+```text
+submitted -> running -> succeeded | failed
+                     -> cancelling -> cancelled | succeeded | failed
+submitted -------------------------> cancelled | failed
+```
+
+terminal row 不可变。state transition 和 append-only event record 使用 `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`、WAL 与
+full synchronization 提交到 `logs/.ari-orchestrator/runs.sqlite3`。对于相同的
+`(principal_id, idempotency_key)` retry，若 request digest 相同则返回现有 handle；不同则失败。
+
+## 重启与取消
+
+每个 run 在新的 process session 中启动一个小型 wrapper。wrapper 在独立 child process group 中启动
+`ari run`，并原子记录绑定到 `run_id` 与 `request_digest` 的 receipt。wrapper 与 child identity 均含
+`/proc` start tick，因此复用的 PID 不会收到 signal，也不会被当作证据。重启时：
+
+- 存活且 identity 匹配的 wrapper 保持 `running`；
+- 有效 terminal receipt 确定其记录的 terminal state；
+- process 消失且没有 terminal receipt 时 fail closed；
+- `submitted` row 不会自动重新 launch，以避免重复科学实验。
+
+`stop_experiment` 先记录 `cancelling`，向 wrapper 发送 signal，等待受限 grace interval；如有必要，
+再次检查 identity 后终止 child/wrapper process group。
+
+durable process execution 当前需要 Linux `/proc`。平台提供 `sched_setaffinity` 时，wrapper 将声明的
+CPU 数应用到 process affinity，并设置 child 的公共 OpenMP/BLAS thread 上限。每个 run 获得 mode 0700
+的 private `HOME`。timeout enforcement 由 wrapper 负责，不委托给 experiment。
+
+## Authorization 与 transport
+
+stdio 使用 `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_PRINCIPAL_ID` 和可选的逗号分隔角色
+`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_PRINCIPAL_ROLES`。run owner 可访问自己的记录；`admin` 角色可检查所有记录。
+authorization 在 status detail、artifact discovery、cancellation 与 lock inspection 之前执行。
+
+stdio 与 MCP Streamable HTTP 调用相同的 function 和 service。Streamable HTTP 默认绑定
+`127.0.0.1`，并要求 `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_HTTP_TOKENS_FILE`。该文件不得为 symlink，且 mode 必须为
+0600：
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "ari.orchestrator-token-digests/v1",
+  "tokens": [
+    {
+      "token_sha256": "<64 lowercase hex characters>",
+      "principal_id": "automation-user",
+      "roles": []
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+系统只保存 token digest。adapter 实现 MCP SDK `TokenVerifier`，因此可在不改变工具或 service semantics
+的情况下，以 OAuth resource-server verifier 替换本地文件。issuer/resource metadata 通过
+`ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_OAUTH_ISSUER_URL` 与 `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_OAUTH_RESOURCE_URL` 配置。
+
+## Quota
+
+每个 request 声明 per-run 与 lineage bound。deployment ceiling 为：
+
+| Environment variable | Default |
+|---|---:|
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_ACTIVE_RUNS` | 16 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_NODES_PER_RUN` | 1000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_TOTAL_NODES` | 10000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_DESCENDANT_RUNS` | 1000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_COST_USD` | 10000 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_CPUS` | 256 |
+| `ARI_ORCHESTRATOR_MAX_TIMEOUT_MINUTES` | 2880 |
+
+registry 从 parent 推导 child depth，并原子检查 root-lineage 的 run、node 与 estimated-cost consumption。
+caller 不能提高 ancestor 的 depth limit。违反限制时既不建立 run row，也不建立 checkpoint。
+
+这些值是 admission/execution bound，而不是 container boundary：`estimated_cost_usd` 由 caller 声明，
+本 service 不提供 memory/GPU isolation。experiment process 仍以 orchestrator 的 Unix identity 运行，
+拥有配置的 workspace access。不可信或相互敌对的 workload 需要此 control plane 之外的 container、
+scheduler 或独立 executor identity。
+
+## Artifact admission
+
+公开 API 不接受文件名。系统只准入封闭集合中的 root output；EAR 文件只能通过已验证的
+`evidence.index.json` 或 `ear_published/manifest.lock` v2 添加。discovery 拒绝 traversal、symlink
+（包括 parent component）、non-regular file、类似 secret 的名称、缺失 record、额外 published file、
+size drift 与 digest drift。读取时重新计算 content hash，并将 inline payload 限制为 2 MiB。更大的
+artifact 仍可按 digest 列出，但不能通过 `read_artifact` 下载；deployment 必须使用另行授权的 artifact
+store 对外提供。
+
+`list_skills(run_id)` 与 `get_workflow(run_id)` 要求有效且 run-bound 的 `SKILLS.lock`。它们只返回
+identity/digest/phase membership，不返回 entrypoint path、environment 名称、credential scope、raw
+schema、LLM configuration 或 resources。
+
+## Credential 与 environment boundary
+
+launcher 使用 `ari.public.execution.build_minimal_environment`，绝不复制完整 parent environment。
+model credential 只能通过 manifest 的 `model.provider` scope。credential 值由 child process 在内存中
+继承，但不会出现在 request JSON、SQLite、metadata、argv 或 runner receipt 中。tool schema 没有
+API-key argument。per-run private `HOME` 防止通过共享 home 进行常规 credential/cache 复用，但不能
+替代 OS-level isolation。
+
+## Migration 与删除
+
+正常 status/list call 不扫描 checkpoint directory。受控迁移运行
+`python ari-skill-orchestrator/src/server.py --repair-registry`。它只导入带 `experiment.md` 的安全
+direct-child checkpoint；ambiguous 或看似仍存活的 legacy state 会成为 `failed`，且永不重新 launch。
+验证后，按 release support window 删除旧 checkpoint metadata reader。
+
+版本 2 删除了任意 `read_file`/`list_files`、substring run matching、environment copying、raw
+workflow/Skill configuration、request-level credential、由扫描推导的 live state 与自定义 REST/SSE
+实现。唯一的网络 adapter 是 authenticated MCP Streamable HTTP。

+# 论文构建契约
+
+`PaperBuildV1` 是 ARI 所撰科学论文的不可变记录。JSON Schema 发布于
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/paper_build_v1.schema.json`；Skill 可从 `ari.public.paper` 使用稳定的
+Python import。
+
+## 构建生命周期
+
+1. `write_paper_iterative` 验证同一 `WorkspaceRefV1` 下的原生证据，保存每次 authoring call，
+   并写入 `.ari-paper/paper_build.draft.json`。
+2. 文本、视觉、语义与 hard-gate review 相互独立运行。
+3. `paper_refine` 仅应用唯一且 anchor-safe 的替换，并保存 digest-bound 的
+   `PaperModelCallBatchV1`。
+4. 以确定性方式注入代码可用性说明。
+5. 对注入后的确切 TeX 重新执行 claim link、semantic review、hard gate 与编译。
+6. `finalize_paper_build` 重新计算并验证 evidence graph，然后写入状态为 `finalized`、`blocked`
+   或 `compile-error` 的 `paper_build.json`。
+
+只有 `finalized` 才表示科学论文构建成功。blocked record 会在 MCP tool 报告失败前持久化，
+因此失败原因仍可审计。
+
+## 必需证据
+
+authoring input set 包含以下唯一角色：
+
+- `science-data` — 原生且 digest-bound 的 `ScienceDataV1`；
+- `figure-batch` — fixed-renderer 的 `FigureBatchV1`；
+- `retrieval-records` — 可通过 `snapshot_ref` 重放 snapshot 与 cassette 的
+  `ari.retrieval-result/v1`；
+- `ear-manifest` — 带 `evidence_index_digest` 的 EAR 生成结果；
+- `template` 与 `rubric` — 为本次构建选定的确切字节。
+
+finalization 会重新读取每个输入，并将大小和 SHA-256 与 draft record 比较。因此 authoring 后
+更改输入属于 hard error。
+
+## Revision 与模型 provenance
+
+每个 revision 绑定其直接 parent，并记录：
+
+- 确切的 TeX 与 BibTeX 工件；
+- 原因及关联的 model-call ID；
+- claim anchor、citation key、canonical figure ID 与 math digest。
+
+每个随机调用都保存独立的 `prompt` 与 `raw-model-response` 工件，以及 provider、model、可选的
+immutable revision、sampling 值、token count 和报告成本。multi-pass refinement 使用
+`PaperModelCallBatchV1`；每个网络调用仍是独立 item。
+
+若最后一次 transformation 丢失已准入的 anchor、citation、figure，或改变数学内容，finalizer
+将拒绝 finalize。早期单次 refinement-call record 的 published reader 保持只读；新 producer
+始终输出 batch schema。
+
+## Claim coverage
+
+共享词法 parser 是 `ari.public.latex_claims`。paper 特有绑定位于
+`ari-skill-paper/src/claim_links.py`，输出含以下内容的 `ari.paper-claim-links/v1`：
+
+- final TeX digest；
+- resolved/unresolved anchor；
+- 分类后的 numeric mention 与未覆盖的 result mention；
+- writer 声明的 formula operand；
+- canonical figure reference；
+- 完整 document digest。
+
+finalization 不信任该中间结果，而是从 locked ScienceData、FigureBatch 与 final TeX 重新计算完整
+document。finalized build 的 unresolved anchor 与 uncovered numeric result mention 均为零。
+显式 numeric exclusion 需要内容寻址的 exclusion policy；默认 pipeline 不建立 exclusion。
+
+## 独立审查集合
+
+`PaperReviewSetV1` 分别保留四类工件：
+
+- 独立 text review；
+- 独立 VLM figure review；
+- evidence-grounded semantic review；
+- deterministic hard-gate report。
+
+text review 必须绑定 authoring revision 并保留原始 model response。每个 VLM target 必须匹配确切的
+FigureBatch manifest/artifact 及其字节。semantic review 的 evidence digest 必须匹配确切的 final
+TeX、ScienceData projection、claim-link document 与 hard-gate digest。aggregate score 不能替代
+这些记录。
+
+## 编译策略
+
+compiler 只接受固定命令名 `pdflatex` 和 `bibtex`、安全的 root-level main file、canonical
+`refs.bib`，以及 `FigureBatchV1` 声明的 graphics。它始终添加 `-no-shell-escape`，并在执行前拒绝
+TeX process/file I/O、`input`/`include`、`filecontents`、absolute/traversal path 与未声明 graphics。
+
+编译使用公共 `ExecutionRequestV1` 的 process-group 与资源上限。每个 pass 保留完整 stdout/stderr
+工件与 execution identity。timeout、cancellation、工具缺失、非零退出、PDF 缺失和 PDF digest
+mismatch 均不能成为 completed compile。
+
+## Rubric migration
+
+论文 authoring 与 review 要求显式 `rubric_id`。它们不读取 `ARI_RUBRIC`、不猜测 `neurips`，也不会在
+rubric 缺失后静默 fallback。`ARI_RUBRIC_DIR` 仍作为位置 override。
+
+对于旧 launch document，运行 `src.rubric_migration.migrate_legacy_rubric_selection`。它只解析一次旧
+explicit field、`ARI_RUBRIC` 或历史默认值，验证 rubric，并返回带 `paper_rubric` 与 version/digest
+migration ledger 的配置。runtime authoring 不调用此 helper。
+
+## 已删除 runtime 路径与回滚
+
+版本 0.3.0 删除了逐 section 的 `generate_section`、`review_section` 和 `revise_section`、通用
+node-tree metric discovery、模型 figure inserter、重复 LaTeX parser、caller 指定 compiler path 与
+raw subprocess compilation。对应替代方案分别是 whole-document authoring/review、原生契约、固定
+renderer、共享 parser 与公共 execution contract。
+
+回滚边界是最后一个 v0.2.0 paper Skill commit。已发布的 `PaperBuildV1`、legacy rubric migration 与
+pre-batch call reader 作为 data reader 保留；replay 不会恢复已删除的不安全 producer 路径。
+
+## 验证
+
+```bash
+PYTHONPATH=ari-core pytest -q ari-skill-paper/tests
+ruff check ari-skill-paper/src ari-skill-paper/tests
+python scripts/sync_skill_metadata.py

+## `ari.public.skill_manifest`
+
+`skill.yaml` 是规范 package contract。consumer 通过公共 API 读取它，而不是直接

+始终拒绝未版本化的 legacy manifest。离线迁移可使用内部只读转换器
+`ari.migrations.skill_manifest.load_legacy_skill_manifest()`；转换结果默认禁用，
+不会被隐式 admission。
+
+## `ari.public.call_context` 与 `ari.public.result`
+
+新 dispatch 代码使用类型化 result contract；历史字典 API 作为无损兼容投影保留：
+
+```python
+from ari.public.call_context import ToolCallContextV1
+
+tool = client.list_tools()[0]

+        ancestor_node_ids=["root"],
+        phase="bfts",
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+`RunContextV1` 将 logical run 绑定到 `run_scope_digest`；`NodeContextV1` 将 self、
+parent 以及 root 到 parent 的有序 chain 绑定到 `lineage_digest`。
+`MCPClient` 将它转换为 tool-bound、per-connection HMAC capability，技能通过
+`verify_tool_context` 验证。签名密钥由 transport 拥有，不属于公共数据 contract。

+# Qiskit 与 IBM Quantum 实验配置
+
+ARI 把 Qiskit 作为联邦工具注册表中的不可变实验配置，而不是逐个添加上游工具包装器。
+上游 MCP 的知名度或连接成功不等于科学有效性。一个经审核的 source 可以包含多个
+profile，而模型仍只看到注册表的五个稳定操作。
+
+## 信任边界
+
+`qiskit-support-v1.json` 固定官方 [Qiskit MCP 仓库](https://github.com/Qiskit/mcp-servers)
+的完整 commit、provider wheel/source、许可证、依赖锁、完整安装包文件树和工具契约；
+同时固定 Qiskit 2.5.1、Qiskit Aer 0.17.2 和 Qiskit IBM Runtime 0.48.0。启动前验证
+解释器、入口点、架构、distribution 版本和包字节。版本范围、被修改的安装、替代入口、
+运行时下载都会被拒绝。相关一手资料还包括
+[IBM MCP 指南](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/guides/qiskit-mcp-servers) 与
+[QPY API](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/api/qiskit/qpy)。
+
+这些检查只证明软件身份和协议一致性。科学 admission 还要求封闭实验、局限说明、统计边界、
+真实的 golden/replay 文件和领域审核。
+
+## 能力分离
+
+| backend | capability | 含义 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `local-ideal` | `ari.quantum.sample.local-ideal` | 无噪声、带 seed 的 Aer 模拟 |
+| `local-noisy` | `ari.quantum.sample.local-noisy` | 仅模拟声明的固定噪声模型 |
+| `remote-simulator` | `ari.quantum.sample.remote-simulator` | 远程服务上的随机模拟 |
+| `ibm-hardware` | `ari.quantum.sample.ibm-hardware` | 具有实时校准快照的硬件测量 |
+
+broker 在调用或 replay 时不会互换这些能力。共享 backend kind/name、target 和软件栈的
+profile 属于同一 independence group，多个包装器或重复作业不能算作独立方法的一致证据。
+
+## 封闭实验契约
+
+`QiskitExperimentV1` 固定 QPY 字节/摘要/格式/生成者版本、qubit/classical bit 数、每个
+parameter binding 的 `rad` 或 `1` 单位、transpiler level/seed/layout、basis/coupling/target
+摘要、shots 和预期 bitstring 概率区间。local profile 还固定 Aer method、precision、CPU
+线程、simulator seed 和噪声模型；remote profile 固定 backend/version、不可逆 instance
+摘要、access tier、校准要求和 mitigation。
+
+调用者只能提供用于幂等性的 `request_id`，不能改变 circuit、backend、shots、路径、provider
+操作或环境。当前审核的 Runtime MCP 不能向 sampler 传递 parameter binding，因此 remote
+binding 会失败，不会被静默改写。
+
+local 流程先使用官方 core MCP transpile，再由验证精确 distribution 的隔离 Aer worker
+执行。remote 流程只把 token 交给隔离 Runtime 进程，在提交前验证 instance、backend
+properties、coupling、calibration、backend kind 和 target。提交立即返回公共异步 handle，
+status/result/cancel 映射为 typed state；超时请求取消，submit/cancel 竞态在获得 provider
+job ID 后继续协调，避免遗留孤儿作业。
+
+原始 properties/calibration/submission/status/result 以角色区分的内容寻址 artifact 保存。
+稳定科学快照摘要排除 queue、operational state 和 capture time，但保留原始带时间响应。
+backend、target、shots、结果结构、counts 或统计边界不匹配时 fail closed。
+
+## 凭据、证据与运维
+
+唯一允许的凭据是 `QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN`，必须由 `quantum.ibm-runtime` named scope 提供。
+不得写入 `sources.yaml`、profile、launcher env、lock、fixture 或 checkpoint。core MCP 与
+local worker 不接收它；只有隔离 Runtime 进程可见。provider 文本、structured response、
+diagnostic、exception 和 stderr 在边界内按精确 secret value 脱敏。原始 instance CRN 也不
+保存，只记录审核后的摘要和 access-tier ID。
+
+golden fixture 绑定 profile/experiment digest/counts；replay fixture 还绑定 request、method
+digest、shots 与 normalized result。必须验证实际文件字节，单独的摘要字符串不能 admission。
+replay 在无 provider、network、credential 或 backend access 时工作，表示可追溯的离线分析，
+不表示实时硬件会产生相同随机 counts。
+
+从 `ari-skill-tool-registry/providers/qiskit-source.example.yaml` 开始：
+
+```bash
+cd ari-skill-tool-registry
+python scripts/verify_qiskit.py \
+  --core-python /absolute/qiskit-env/bin/python \
+  --core-package-root /absolute/qiskit-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/qiskit_mcp_server \
+  --experiment /absolute/profile.yaml --smoke
+python src/sync_catalog.py
+python src/sync_catalog.py --approve --approve-schema-changes
+```
+
+本地验证可加 `--run-profile` 与 `--artifact-root`；远程 profile 还需 Runtime interpreter 与
+package root。审核 pending diff 中的 capability、schema、backend lineage、independence、
+permission、evidence 和 limitations，并运行凭据脱敏及离线 replay 测试。
+
+provider/Qiskit/Aer/Runtime/backend/circuit 更新必须创建新的不可变 record/profile。
+rollback 选择旧 support record、环境、profile、QPY/evidence、catalog lock 和 cassette；
+所有 remote handle 必须先终止或协调，不能用 rollback 隐藏 live job。删除 gate 包括 active
+reference 为零、remote job 已处理、migration note 完整、无 provider replay 成功；published
+evidence 仍依赖的 QPY/result/cassette reader 在支持窗口内保留。

+# 复现实验与评分契约
+
+`ari-skill-paper-re` v1.0 将不可变科学输入与每次 execution attempt 分离。只有当 score 绑定到已验证、
+成功的 reproduction run，且请求的所有 judge run 均完成时，才能发布该 score。
+
+检入的 JSON Schema 位于 `ari-skill-paper-re/schemas/`。运行
+`python ari-skill-paper-re/scripts/sync_contracts.py` 可拒绝 schema drift。
+
+## 记录与身份
+
+| Record | 身份与用途 |
+|---|---|
+| `ReproductionPlanV1` | rubric、input tree、`reproduce.sh`、command、sandbox/image、timeout、resource request、expected artifact 与 policy 的 canonical digest。 |
+| `ReproductionAttemptV1` | 一次 terminal execution，链接到 parent attempt 与 plan，包含 environment identity、确切 log/output-manifest digest、output-tree digest、missing artifact 和类型化 failure evidence。 |
+| `ReproductionRunV1` | 有序且连续的 attempt lineage。只有成功 run 才选择一个成功 attempt。 |
+| `GradeReportV1` | rubric/paper/run digest、judge identity 与 independence、全部 leaf evidence/raw response、run count、variance、negative control、call trace 和最终 validity。 |
+
+每个 record 都拒绝未知字段，以及与 canonical finite-JSON payload 不匹配的 digest。artifact path 必须为
+relative、不可 traversal，并在使用前验证 digest 与 byte count。
+
+## Workspace 布局与 retry
+
+对于 plan digest `<P>`，metadata 位于 caller 的 source tree 下：
+
+```text
+.ari-reproduction/
+  <P>/
+    plan.json
+    input-manifest.json
+    input/                         # content-addressed, read-only snapshot
+    run.json
+    attempts/
+      0001-<attempt-id>/
+        work/                      # private writable execution tree
+        output-manifest.json
+  latest.json                     # verified active run pointer
+```
+
+execution 绝不把结果写入 caller source file。symlink、non-regular output、超过 1 GiB 的文件及超过
+8 GiB 的 tree 会从 private output 移除，并使 attempt 以 `filesystem-policy` 失败。
+`reproduce.log` 采用原子写入。output manifest 记录每个新增、修改或删除的 path 及所有 policy incident。
+
+重复执行成功 plan 时，会在重新验证 run、artifact 与 output tree 后进行 idempotent replay。重复执行
+failed/timed-out/cancelled plan 会建立新 attempt，其 `parent_attempt_id` 指向前一个 attempt。修改
+source、rubric、image、policy、resource 或 timeout 会建立不同 plan，而不会静默延长旧 lineage。
+
+## Sandbox admission
+
+| Substrate | Immutable identity | Default network denial |
+|---|---|---|
+| Docker | 完整本地 `sha256:<image-id>` 或 `name@sha256:<digest>` | `--network=none`；read-only root、受限 tmpfs、无 capabilities、no-new-privileges、PID limit |
+| Apptainer/Singularity | 本地 regular non-symlink SIF（已 hash）或远程 `@sha256:<digest>` URI | isolated network namespace、clean environment、contained filesystem、无 home mount |
+| Local | 记录 host/toolchain identity | 要求显式 administrator isolation attestation；否则必须显式选择 `network_policy=inherit` |
+| SLURM | digest-bound 的公共 HPC handoff 加 scheduler/module/resource/runtime evidence | `deny` 要求 administrator isolation attestation；job 使用 `--export=NIL` 与显式 literal/module |
+
+execution environment 从 minimal allowlist 构建，绝不复制 parent environment。
+`network_policy=inherit` 记录为 unverified，不会表述为 isolation。timeout 与 cancellation 会终止完整的
+local/container process group、强制移除 named Docker container，或在 terminalization 前取消 scheduler
+handle。
+
+`auto` 选择可用 substrate，但不会虚构 image 或弱化 policy。若所选 substrate 无法满足
+immutable-image、network、GPU、scheduler 或 resource constraint，planning/execution 会显式失败。
+
+## Grade validity
+
+`grade_with_simplejudge` 要求以下各项全部成立：
+
+- schema-valid rubric，且其 paper digest 与非空 supplied paper text 匹配；
+- digest-verified 且状态为 `succeeded` 的 `ReproductionRunV1`；
+- 请求的每个 judge run 完成；
+- 原始 per-call 与 per-leaf response 已持久化；
+- 完成的 negative control 低于配置 threshold。
+
+judge/provider failure、schema mismatch、缺失/篡改/失败的 reproduction，或无法使用的 negative control
+都会产生无科学 score 的 `status=failed`。若已完成 grade 的 negative control 超过 threshold，系统保留
+observed score 供诊断，但标记为 `invalid-negative-control`，而不是 `valid`。跳过 control 也使用相同
+invalid status。将 rubric generator model 复用为 judge 时报告 `not-independent`，不会冒充独立审计。
+
+## PaperBench provenance 与 patch 删除
+
+`paperbench_patches.json` 精确 pin 已审查的 upstream Git commit，并将每个剩余 runtime adaptation 映射到
+upstream symbol、rationale 与 deletion gate。只有同时提供 `ARI_PAPERBENCH_PATH` 和匹配的
+`ARI_PAPERBENCH_COMMIT`，且 Git 确认确切 identity 时才接受 override。package root 仅在 bootstrap 期间
+暂时可见，随后从 `sys.path` 移除；pip-installed PaperBench 不是 fallback。
+
+compatibility inventory 会有意持续缩小。v1.0 已删除：
+
+- host-local sandbox fallback 与 `ARI_PHASE1_ALLOW_FALLBACK`；
+- mutable default image 及 `pb-env` / `pb-reproducer` 的 `:latest` alias；
+- `apptainer_image` tool argument 与 `ARI_PHASE1_SINGULARITY_IMAGE`；
+- 修改 source 的 salvage wrapper 与 implicit `code_only` grading；
+- 重复的 local/Docker/Apptainer/SLURM runner entry point。
+
+剩余 PaperBench adaptation 会在其 inventory gate 针对 pinned upstream suite 通过后删除。没有 named owner、
+removal release、migration test 与 fail-closed security review，不得重新引入 compatibility name 或 fallback。

+# 研究契约
+
+ARI把从文献检索到实验执行的科学决策冻结为三个immutable record：
+
+1. `SurveySnapshotV1`记录固定provider、query、检索时间、规范化record、citation edge、
+   artifact，以及原始live操作是否byte reproducible。
+2. `IdeaSetV1`记录model、prompt template digest、sampling、seed、adapter/vendor revision、
+   source snapshot、被接纳candidate和确定性的拒绝原因。
+3. `ResearchContractV1`只从一个被接纳candidate生成一次，并冻结假说、证伪条件、metric名称、
+   unit、direction、comparison scope、required evidence、引用、限制和source digest。
+
+每个record都携带其canonical JSON（不含digest字段本身）的SHA-256，reader在parse时验证。
+evaluator逐字使用`ResearchContractV1`，并把同一个`research_contract_digest`写入
+`metric_contract.json`；不会用LLM重新命名metric或evidence词汇。
+
+`survey(mode="record")`在故障时不会更换provider。`survey(mode="replay")`不访问network，
+只读取指定checkpoint artifact，并拒绝缺失、损坏或digest不匹配的snapshot。
+
+顶层flat `ideas`、`primary_metric`等字段只是旧checkpoint投影。新consumer必须使用typed
+record。声明新格式却没有被接纳contract的document会fail-closed，不能降级到旧prose推断。
+schema位于`ari-core/ari/schemas/`，稳定公开API是`ari.public.research_contract`。

+# 检索契约与网络策略
+
+ARI 将来源获取与科学采纳判断分离。`ari-skill-web` 负责检索、规范化和来源记录；Idea、Evaluator 与 Paper 组件决定证据如何使用。
+
+## 公共记录
+
+标准结果 `ari.retrieval-result/v1` 包含 `RetrievalRecordV1` 的 `records`、受摘要约束的 `SurveySnapshotV1`、`survey_snapshot_digest`、可选的检查点相对 `snapshot_ref`，以及跨提供方的 `alias_groups`。公共 writer 只返回 canonical `records`。
+
+每条记录保存 provider、provider record/version、query、检索时间、书目信息、source URL、raw payload digest、DOI/arXiv/S2 alias、license/use restriction。canonical ID 按提供方划分；即使 AlphaXiv 与 arXiv 描述同一论文，两条来源仍保持独立，只通过共同的 `arxiv:` alias 关联。
+
+## 执行模式
+
+| mode | 网络 | 写入artifact | 含义 |
+|---|---:|---:|---|
+| `live` | 是 | 否 | 当前提供方响应，不可重放 |
+| `record` | 是 | 是 | 一个固定提供方及不可变cassette/snapshot |
+| `replay` | 否 | 否 | 验证并原样返回已记录的规范化对象 |
+
+`record` / `replay` 需要 `ARI_CHECKPOINT_DIR`，并使用以下布局：
+
+```text
+retrieval_cassettes/<raw-cassette-sha256>.json
+retrieval_payloads/<raw-body-sha256>.bin
+retrieval_snapshots/<snapshot-digest>.json
+```
+
+重放会校验 snapshot 自摘要、内容寻址路径、所有 artifact SHA-256、provider/query/operation/parameters、records、citation edges 与 warnings。提供方故障会显式报错，不会切换到另一提供方。需要多个提供方时，应分别执行固定调用，由上层 broker 在保留全部来源的前提下按 alias 合成。
+
+## URL 与引用图安全
+
+`fetch_url` 仅允许 HTTP(S) 的80/443端口，拒绝 userinfo 与任何非全局 DNS 地址。它直接连接已验证IP并保留TLS SNI，对每次重定向重新验证，拒绝HTTPS降级、重定向超限、响应过大与非文本媒体。正文在record模式保存为raw artifact，返回文本明确标记为不可信外部数据。
+
+`walk_citations` 同时限制 depth、node 与 request budget，并检测环；达到上限时返回已保留的record/edge及 `partial_reason`。
+
+确定性检索工具不调用LLM。`rerank_retrieval_records` 是独立的随机工具，记录model、API identity、temperature及prompt/input/output digest。
+
+## Consumer规则
+
+Idea 通过 `survey_snapshot_ref`，Paper 通过记录结果中的 `snapshot_ref`，使用共同的验证loader。类型化结果若没有记录引用，不得静默降级到inline papers。
+
+另见 [Research contract](research_contracts.md) 与 [Execution contract](execution_contract.md)。

-通过 SLURM 和 Singularity 进行 HPC 作业管理。**LLM：否**（完全确定性）。
+## canonical `skill.yaml` contract
 
-### 工具
-
-#### `slurm_submit(script, job_name, partition, nodes=1, walltime="01:00:00", work_dir)`
-
-提交 SLURM 批处理作业。
-
-```python
-result = slurm_submit(
-    script="""
-#!/bin/bash
-#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=32
-gcc -O3 -fopenmp -o ./bench ./bench.c
-OMP_NUM_THREADS=32 ./bench
-""",
-    job_name="bench_test",
-    partition="your_partition",
-    work_dir="/abs/path/to/workdir"
-)
-# Returns: {"job_id": "12345", "status": "submitted"}

+每个内置技能都以版本化 `skill.yaml` 作为 package identity、entrypoint、环境与
+credential scope、capability、phase、side effect、determinism、timeout、permission
+和 result schema 的唯一来源。规范 schema 为
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/skill_manifest_v1.schema.json`；`mcp.json` 只是生成的兼容视图。
 
-**注意事项：**
-- `--account` 和 `-A` 头信息会被静默移除（在此集群上无效）
-- 空的 `job_id` 会立即返回错误
-- 脚本中不要使用 `~`（在 SBATCH 中不会展开）
+timeout 不依赖 tool 名列表。每个 tool 使用 manifest `timeout_class`；只有
+`timeout_budget` 明确声明参数名、单位、buffer 与上限时，调用方 wall-time 参数才会
+改变外层 transport timeout。未声明参数不能扩大预算。
 
-#### `job_status(job_id)`
+异步 submitter 通过 `async_lifecycle` 声明 handle field 与 status/result/cancel
+semantic capability。admission 将其解析为不可变 runtime `tool_ref`，并在
+`ResultEnvelopeV1.async_handle` 中返回 portable `AsyncToolHandleV1`。
+`MCPClient.get_async_status()`、`get_async_result()`、`cancel_async()` 与
+`wait_for_async()` 只使用这些绑定引用。handle 缺失或 provider state 未在 manifest
+中声明时，会以类型化 protocol error fail closed。规范 schema 为
+`ari-core/ari/schemas/async_tool_handle_v1.schema.json`。SLURM submit 和外部 ARI
+orchestrator 已使用同一 lifecycle contract。

-# 状态值：PENDING、RUNNING、COMPLETED、FAILED、ERROR
-```
-

+写出 canonical `ari.measurement-set/v1` 与 P6 兼容 projection，记录有限数值、显式单位或 missing、parameters、provenance、execution attempt/exit status 和 artifact digest，并拒绝各组名称重叠。`execution` 应传入前一次 run response 的 `measurement_execution`；写入前会验证 server-issued receipt 和全部日志 digest。
 
 可选的 `provenance` 参数是一个 `{operand: source}` 映射，会被原样写入 `results.json` 的 `_provenance` 键，由 claim/指标正确性门消费。当某个操作数的值是经验**测量**得到的上限/峰值时，标注 `"microbench"` 或 `"benchmark"`（以免归一化指标被判定为依赖占位值）；当它是相对于**独立**参考计算出的残差时，标注 `"correctness"` 或 `"reference"`（以免输出被判定为未经验证）。尽力而为，为空时完全省略。

+# 联邦科学工具注册表
+
+`ari-skill-tool-registry` 将大型 MCP 集合隐藏在五个稳定操作之后：
+`discover`、`describe`、`invoke`、`get_status` 和 `get_result`。它默认关闭，
+不会把全部叶工具 schema 放入模型上下文，也不要求为每个叶工具手写配置。
+
+## 生命周期
+
+```text
+少量已审查 sources.yaml
+  -> 隔离的 provider discovery
+  -> canonical descriptor 与可见 origin chain
+  -> 图、安全、conformance 与科学 admission
+  -> 已审查 CATALOG.lock + 派生 index
+  -> 不可变五操作 broker
+```
+
+运行时不读取 `sources.yaml`。同步变化只生成 pending lock/index 和审查 diff；
+只有显式 `--approve` 才替换活动 lock，已运行的 broker 永不刷新快照。
+
+不透明 `tool_ref` 绑定 provider、adapter、schema、显式默认值、权限/副作用、
+确定性、执行语义、方法身份和异步生命周期。策略和来源别名使用独立身份，
+因此策略重评不会伪装成实现变更。
+
+## 科学 admission
+
+| 级别 | 所需证据 |
+|---|---|
+| `discovered` | 候选及其叶来源透明可见 |
+| `callable` | MCP conformance、provider pin、launcher 验证及允许权限 |
+| `reproducible` | 再加依赖 pin 与离线 replay fixture |
+| `scientifically_admitted` | 再加验证、局限、语义、单位及方法身份 |
+
+被发现不等于权威或科学正确。注册表报告证据和策略判定，不会无条件信任上游。
+
+## 集合合成与冲突
+
+只有执行身份完全相同的别名会合并，同时保留全部来源链。相似能力默认仍是
+独立工具。目录明确区分 exact duplicate、same backend、semantic near-match
+与 independent method，不因名称相似而自动平均，并分别保存分歧与 provenance。
+
+因此 ToolUniverse 类集合、OpenROAD、量子模拟器及未来 MCP bundle 可以通过
+同一边界共存。直接 stdio MCP 无需自定义叶代码；其他 transport 每个集合只需
+一个 `CatalogSource`、一个 `ProviderAdapter` 及其 conformance fixture。
+
+## ToolUniverse v1.3.1 adapter
+
+ToolUniverse 作为一个 compact collection 接入，而不是暴露数千个公共 MCP 工具。
+注册表进程不导入 ToolUniverse；operator sync 通过 compact list/info/execute surface
+生成 canonical 叶 descriptor，运行时只把活动 lock 中的精确叶名称传给
+`execute_tool`。
+
+支持矩阵固定上游 repository commit/tag、PyPI wheel/sdist、Apache-2.0 license、
+上游依赖 lock、compact contract，以及已安装包全部 3,542 个文件的 canonical tree
+digest。同步和运行时都会验证完整文件树和 shell-free 的
+`tooluniverse.smcp_server:run_stdio_server` callable。版本范围、启动时安装、修改过的
+包和其他入口都会 fail closed。
+
+category/type profile 为一组叶工具声明副作用、确定性、权限、局限和 lineage，
+无需逐叶 wrapper。即使上游 CLI 在后台加载更大的集合，ARI 仍会独立执行 category
+过滤，并在运行时再次限制为 lock 中的叶名称。dynamic MCP loader、agentic/compose/
+code execution、需要 credential、未审查或匹配不唯一的 profile，以及无效 schema
+都会被 quarantine。仅对 v1.3.1 已知的 property-level `required: true` 方言做确定性
+转换，将其移入标准父级 `required` 数组并记录 provenance；不会猜测修复其他 schema。
+
+参数始终按 locked schema 严格验证，不允许类型 coercion。由于上游会静默删除显式
+`null`，adapter 会拒绝它。ToolUniverse cache/persistence、update check、hook 和
+search 均被关闭；结果记录 collection/wheel/provider/leaf-spec identity 和
+`upstream_cache: disabled`。只有 ARI cassette/EAR 是 replay authority，集合级信任
+不会传递成叶工具的 replay 或科学验证。
+
+批量更新只生成 pending diff。input/output/default schema 变化不能仅凭普通
+`--approve` 通过，还必须在审查后显式使用 `--approve-schema-changes`。
+
+## OpenROAD profile adapter
+
+OpenROAD-MCP 的交互工具不会暴露为叶子；一个已审查
+`OpenRoadExperimentV1` 对应一个虚拟异步叶子。调用者只提供 `request_id`，
+Tcl、路径、PDK/library、OpenROAD/ORFS commit、seed、threads、资源和容器都固定在
+experiment/method identity 中。
+
+`local-mcp` 使用有作用域的 stateful session，并在所有终态路径中 terminate。
+`slurm` 将封闭命令编译为 digest-pinned Tcl，并把固定 worker/input 通过
+C06 `JobRequestV1` 提交。必须使用单 node/task、与 threads 一致的 CPU、共享
+work root、digest 与 toolchain 一致的 clean/contained SIF，以及 `network: none`。
+scheduler handle/status/cancel、environment/module/container digest、日志与 provenance 会进入
+result/EAR。只有确认 scheduler 终态后才删除 workspace；transport 结果不明时
+fail closed 并保留现场以供 ledger 对账。
+
+## Qiskit profile adapter
+
+官方 Qiskit core MCP 与 IBM Runtime MCP 是供应链输入，而不是公共 catalog leaf。
+一个审核后的 `QiskitExperimentV1` 对应一个虚拟异步 leaf；QPY/version、parameter
+unit、transpilation target/seed、shots、simulator/noise 或 Runtime backend、mitigation、
+evidence 和 limitations 都不可变，调用者只能传 `request_id`。
+
+local ideal、local noisy、remote simulator 和 IBM hardware 使用不同 capability。core
+MCP 只负责 transpile，本地 Aer 由验证精确 distribution 的 worker 执行。remote 仅内部
+使用审核后的 setup、backend snapshot、sampler、status、result 和 cancel leaf，不发布
+账户管理操作。backend/target mismatch 在提交前失败，live snapshot 与 job/result 原始
+记录保存为验证过的 artifact。
+
+`QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN` 通过 named credential scope 只交给隔离 Runtime 进程，并在 provider
+边界按精确值脱敏。lock、cassette、artifact 和 identity 不包含 token 或原始 instance
+CRN。科学契约、运维、更新/回滚和删除 gate 见
+[Qiskit 与 IBM Quantum 实验配置](qiskit_profiles.md)。
+
+## record/replay 与 EAR
+
+record 保存精确参数、catalog/policy digest、选择原因、被拒候选、原始响应
+digest/artifact 和规范化 ResultEnvelope。replay 在相同不可变 catalog 下无需
+启动 provider。证据位于 `{checkpoint}/ear/catalog/`，默认 EAR curator 会包含它。
+
+```bash
+cd ari-skill-tool-registry
+python src/sync_catalog.py
+python src/sync_catalog.py --approve   # 仅在审查 diff 后
+python src/sync_catalog.py --approve --approve-schema-changes
+python scripts/verify_tooluniverse.py --help
+python scripts/verify_openroad.py --help
+python scripts/verify_qiskit.py --help
+python scripts/sync_contracts.py
+pytest -q
+```
+
+禁止逐叶 production 配置、运行时刷新、直接公开叶 schema、裸名称 dispatch、
+透传 provider 特有结果，以及在生产配置中注册 static fixture。
