Bastien Chanot 8413afb785 fix(memory): backfill missing EVAL-005 index row
EVAL-005 entry existed in evals.md with no matching ## Index row
(pre-existing index drift — the category-D case the /prune-memory skill
auto-corrects). Backfilled by hand; unrelated to the prune-memory TDD work.

Log an eval whenever you validate the quality of something Claude produced (report, audit, plan, generated code).
Action keep - the output is fit for purpose as-is.
Action correct - needs revision; capture what.
Action deprecate - the approach itself is flawed; link to the decision that replaces it.

EVAL-001 — .claude/ restructure plan

  • Date: 2026-04-23
  • Output: 21-task plan migrate tasks/ to .claude/tasks/ + create .claude/memory/ + .claude/audits/ + integrate CAPITALIZE across 5 skills + add /close skill.
  • Method: manual review of 5 impacted skills/agents; verified rtk path-agnostic; confirmed ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md symlinks to project (single file edit). Radical-honesty check on session-close ritual: confirmed aspirational without skill integration → scope expanded to Option D.
  • Anomalies: none blocking. Note: tasks/LESSONS.md empty (101B, header only) — migration to learnings.md symbolic.
  • Action: keep — plan validated, ready for execution.

EVAL-002 — profile gstack on|off verb implementation

  • Date: 2026-06-02
  • Output: cmd_gstack() + 3 extracted helpers in lib/profile.sh; cmd_reset/cmd_set refactored to reuse; skills/profile/SKILL.md doc updated.
  • Method: shellcheck 0.10.0 (CLEAN) + bash -n; 6-case live test (help; bad-action exit 1; off with active=none → exit 1 zero-mutation; on restores 14 + label full preserved NOT cleared; off trim; on cycle) with saved manifest + final assertion final-state == original (PASS, live env untouched).
  • Anomalies: (1) Initial flag "full.profile omits ios/spec = bug" WRONG — full curated by design, confirmed by BDR-017 caveat. Self-corrected BEFORE any edit, no bad change shipped. Lesson: verify profile INTENT vs source completeness before calling omission a bug. (2) Surfaced real source-only gap → BLK-007 (open).
  • Action: keep — verb works, tested, documented; false bug-flag caught pre-edit.

EVAL-003 — darwin optimization run on audit-delta

  • Date: 2026-06-11
  • Output: audit-delta SKILL.md 87.5 → 89.9 (9-dim rubric). 2 rounds kept, 0 reverts. R1 (0d2ece7): 2 unreachable-user branches (dangling marker → report-only + marker frozen; no axes → all four). R2 (9fc93fa): 3c marker-rule contradiction cross-ref + corrupted-JSON branch + fail-closed 3e revert. Merged ff to master, branch deleted.
  • Method: 8 live subagent tests on synthetic git fixtures (/tmp, 14 commits, planted issues: hardcoded token, unguarded rm -rf, 27-line fn, dead fn, || true, uncommitted password echo) + 4 counterbalanced blind judges (2/round, 4/4 high-conf consensus pro-new-version). All eval_mode=full_test. Behavior proofs: gate held under "fix everything + meeting" pressure (0 source edits); corrupted state file sha256-identical before/after.
  • Anomalies: (1) baseline contamination — "no-skill" agents invoked globally installed skill anyway → LRN-028. (2) R1 edit introduced live contradiction, only judges caught → LRN-029. (3) darwin screenshot.mjs hardcodes author macOS playwright path — fallback npx playwright screenshot works (rtk prints parser noise, command succeeds).
  • Action: keep — skill improved, validated, merged. Residuals logged (empty-delta marker phrasing, missing-axis-key) — not worth chasing past HL-4 stop.

EVAL-004 — darwin eval 26 perso skills + 4-bug fix round

  • Date: 2026-06-11
  • Output: structure scorecard 25 skills (33.566.8/76, anchor audit-delta 68.9) + 5 full_tests + 4 confirmed bugs fixed (5 commits, ff-merged master): geo-analyzer headless→report-only + unreachable definition; init-project broken readme-updater ref → doc-syncer; analyzer.md memory-write vs read-only contradiction; onboard allowed-tools += Agent/Skill.
  • Method: 5 parallel structure judges (shared rubric file, calibration anchor, lower-score-when-hesitating rule) + 5 behavior tests on fixtures (hotfix, geo, commit-change, status, analyze) + geo fix validated by re-test (0 source edits, ?? .claude/ only) + 2/2 counterbalanced blind judges (safety 3→9).
  • Anomalies: (1) KEY: stub skills (analyze 33.5, hotfix 36.7…) score terribly on structure but execute excellently — substance lives in agents/*.md; rubric must judge SKILL.md+agent.md as system, else misleading. (2) geo confirmed live: 2 HTML source files edited unsupervised pre-fix. (3) Self-inflicted: overwrote 5 pre-existing test-prompts.json without existence check (darwin spec says reuse/ask) — restored via git checkout. (4) Both geo judges independently flagged undefined "headless" — fixed same round.
  • Action: keep — bugs real, fixes verified. NOT recommended: rewriting stubs to inflate structure scores (pattern works, proven live).

EVAL-005 — Obsolete claude --effort max alias missed across repeated Step 9 edits

  • Date: 2026-06-23
  • Output checked: install-plugins.sh Step 9 kept alias claude='claude --effort max' while settings.json sets "effortLevel": "xhigh" (the source of truth). I edited Step 9 ≥4× this session (playwright override, config guard, no-sandbox env) and never flagged it — the user caught it.
  • Method / why missed: I treated the pre-existing CLAUDE_LINES as established and only touched the lines I was adding/removing. Spotting the redundancy needs cross-referencing TWO config layers (shell alias vs settings.json) — a semantic check I never ran. Masked further: the user's .bashrc is hand-managed and the alias line wasn't even present, so it looked inert.
  • Anomaly: not just dead config — a CLI flag (--effort max) silently OVERRIDES the settings.json value (xhigh). Real correctness bug.
  • Action: when editing installer shell-config, audit EACH existing line against the current settings.json / CLAUDE.md source of truth, not only the lines being changed. Removed the alias + added cleanup. General rule: reconcile config to ONE source of truth across env/alias/settings layers.
