Repository-owned replay IDs and source-hash-matched acceptance manifests can +supply an observation cutoff; the evaluator checks the actual timestamp columns before +calling it verified. Future estimated dates remain predictions. Unknown source types or +undeclared snapshots stay unknown; a name alone never proves truncation. + +The prompt accepts equivalent calculations and does not require a redundant cutoff on +verified observation columns or invent a required join from a preferred query shape. +It still requires the question's period, population and grain. Numerical correctness and +executable evidence remain separate code scores. Schema/profile failures invalidate the +required judge evaluation rather than silently grading without the expected context. + +`judge_context.py` has its own content-derived version and each payload has a SHA-256. +`judge_version` covers the complete judge implementation plus context version; +`scorer_version` includes the context builder. Records retain the context payload. +The comparison preparer already copies the current evaluator into both frozen runtime +snapshots, so historical feedback stays untouched and a new comparison uses the same +new evaluator on both arms. Reference values, oracle SQL, raw samples and private planted +changes are not passed to the judge or analyst; only a validated cutoff is extracted from +the evaluator's acceptance manifest. + +Offline checks exercise a valid pre-truncated source, future observations in an unfiltered +source, alternate count calculations, duplicate-key profiles, manifest mismatch and +prompt/record wiring. Mock model outputs test transport only. They do not establish that a +live judge now reasons correctly: a fresh, funded contrast run and baseline/candidate +comparison are still required.
