* fix(decision): retire text-derived blocked, waiting_on_external and conventions_comments; keep a pending answer on the dashboard (TASK-3915, TASK-3924) IDEA-3906 half B, units 1 and 3. - The attention set asks one question, needs_human_decision. The text-derived blocked Noul is gone: blocked is the dependency graph's alone, and the dashboard no longer appends a "its text says it is blocked" entry. waiting_on_external flagged nothing on 10-17 and goes too. - conventions_comments is no longer registered in production. It took 42% of provider calls on 10-17 for 7 chip-level answers. The set definition and the PerComment machinery stay, since tests and the conventions eval gates use them. The web drops the comment-card chips and their store. - Stored answers to the retired keys and set need no migration: no registered question carries their keys, so they read current=false and the brief counts them as stale questions. - WorkspaceFlags pending tolerance: an above-threshold answer whose item has moved on is kept while a job is owed for it with no recorded failure and the set still applies. Without that, the dashboard entry vanishes for the whole wait for the re-ask, which TASK-3916's debounce will stretch to an hour. - The day-73 titlebody eval control keeps the retired blocked question text locally, so it still re-runs that shape. - docs/api.md and README updated. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018oQ5EErQKHtBJK8yLpcDNF * test(decision): a claimed re-ask still counts as pending; rewording one question keeps the others (TASK-3915 r1) r1 hunter Lows, all FIXED: the per-key rewording rule had lost its coverage with the one-question set, so a two-question test set keeps it; a claimed-but-in-flight job leg is added to the pending test; the ProductionRegistry comment's run-on join is split.

Decision-provider evals
The scripts behind PLAN-3114's go/no-go decision. They measure the decision
provider (typesafe.ai Jev) against human-set labels in the docapp workspace,
so a model pin change (internal/decision.DefaultModel) can be measured
against a recorded baseline instead of argued about.
| script | what it asks | ground truth |
|---|---|---|
eval.py |
A. field recovery: severity/component (bugs), priority/effort (tasks), impact (ideas), as Choice questions. B. collection classification: bug, task or idea, with the collection hidden. | the human-set field / the real collection |
eval2.py |
C. CONVE-4 (conventional commits) as a Noul over 200 real commit subjects plus up to 60 mutated negatives. D. needs_human_decision / blocked as Nouls over human-tasks (positives) vs 70 random tasks (negatives). |

Both Python scripts call https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone directly
(standard library only) and send item titles and bodies there, which is the
same disclosure the product makes when the provider is enabled.
Running
export TYPESAFE_API_KEY=... # read from the environment, never printed
cd scripts/decision-eval
# 1. regenerate the corpora (below); they must sit NEXT TO the scripts
# 2.
python3 eval.py --dry-run # builds the jobs and prints one request; no API call
python3 eval.py --model jev-1.13.0 # A + B; writes results-<model>.jsonl
python3 eval2.py # C + D; pinned to jev-1.13.0; writes results-decision.json
The scripts read TYPESAFE_API_KEY, the vendor's name. Pad itself reads
PAD_TYPESAFE_API_KEY (see the README's Decision provider section).
They are deliberately separate, so an eval run never borrows a server's
credentials by accident.
eval.py defaults to --model jev-latest, which is what the day-73 A/B run
used. jev-latest moves without notice, so pass the pinned model to compare
like with like. eval2.py has no --dry-run: its code runs at the top level,
so running it at all reads the key and makes the API calls.
Regenerating the corpora
The corpora are exports of the docapp workspace and are never committed
(.gitignore). From a checkout linked to the docapp workspace:
pad item list bugs --all --full --limit 1000 --format json > bugs.json
pad item list tasks --all --full --limit 1000 --format json > tasks.json
pad item list ideas --all --full --limit 1000 --format json > ideas.json
pad item list human-tasks --all --full --limit 1000 --format json > human-tasks.json
pad collection list --format json > collections.json
git log --format=%s -n 400 > commits.txt
--all is required, because the day-73 corpora include done and closed items,
and --full supplies the bodies. A regenerated corpus is today's workspace,
not day 73's: at day 73 there were 557 bugs, 1000 tasks (capped by
--limit), 433 ideas, 70 human-tasks and 400 commit subjects, and the
workspace has grown since. The random draws are seeded (73), but over
different populations, so compare RATES, not item-level answers.
Day-73 baseline (2026-09-19)
A, B and D were recomputed from the saved result files with the scripts' own summary logic, and match the figures recorded on PLAN-3114. C's results were not saved; its figures are from PLAN-3114's trail.
A. field recovery (jev-latest, 360 items; exact = the human's value, adjacent = within one level)
| field | n | exact | adjacent | conf >= 0.8 correct | majority baseline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bugs.severity | 114 | 42.1% | 86.8% | 15 / 27 | 43.0% (low) |
| bugs.component | 112 | 42.0% | 42.0% | 41 / 83 | 21.4% (web) |
| tasks.priority | 120 | 56.7% | 95.8% | 24 / 36 | 45.0% (medium) |
| tasks.effort | 33 | 51.5% | 97.0% | 4 / 6 | 45.5% (m) |
| ideas.impact | 120 | 56.7% | 92.5% | 26 / 41 | 47.5% (medium) |
B. collection classification (jev-latest): 278 / 360 = 77.2% overall; 217 / 250 = 86.8% where confidence >= 0.8.
C. CONVE-4 Noul (jev-1.13.0, 260 subjects): AUC 0.971; at threshold 0.9, precision 98.8% and recall 92.3%.
D. needs_human_decision Noul (jev-1.13.0, 70 + 70 items, title + body)
| AUC | P / R at 0.5 | P / R at 0.7 | P / R at 0.9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.939 | 93.0% / 75.7% | 94.4% / 48.6% | 100.0% / 21.4% |
What those numbers led to is on PLAN-3114: subjective scales are not worth automating (tranche 2 chips only at >= 0.8); objective Nouls are. TASK-3137 re-ran D through the production state builder.
