+# P3 module-head anchor — preregistration (2026-09-29)
+
+Status: PREREGISTERED — written BEFORE implementing the anchor. No numbers
+invented here; thresholds/caps referenced are the existing ones
+(`_O1_ANCHOR_TOTAL`, `MAX_RERANKER_INPUT=30`, `MIN_RERANK_SCORE=0.3` untouched).
+
+## Hypothesis
+
+P3 (`src/core/artifact_gc.py` gold file below threshold) is a pool-entry /
+ranking problem of the same family as P2: the chunk the reranker scores
+highest (module-head/docstring) never reaches the reranker, while the code
+chunk that does reach it scores a negative logit and dies at the threshold.
+
+## Decision rule (verbatim)
+
+"anchor a file's module-head/docstring chunk into the pre-rerank pool iff it
+scores above threshold on holdout queries; falsified if (i) docstring chunks
+do not outscore code chunks on holdout, (ii) anchoring regresses holdout H-set,
+(iii) pool cost exceeds caps".
+
+## Reading of the three clauses
+
+- (i) is checked by the persisted probes
+  (`rerank_probe_run1.json`: gold_doc #1 on 6/6 holdout-style queries;
+  `rerank_probe_run2.json`: module_head top on P3/R2, code chunks negative).
+- (ii) is checked by the no-regression holdout H1–H12 + P/R + doc-control
+  gate (fresh-process discipline — reranker-cache trap).
+- (iii) is checked structurally: anchors bounded by the existing caps
+  (`_O1_ANCHOR_TOTAL`, `MAX_RERANKER_INPUT=30`).
+
+## Scope
+
+- Validate on holdout only — NEVER the frozen eval-16.
+- `MIN_RERANK_SCORE=0.3` untouched (threshold sweep on the eval set was
+  explicitly refuted in `EXPERIMENTS_LOG.md:2815-2816`).
+- Minimal diff extending the P2 `_anchor_identifier_chunks_async` precedent
+  (`engine.py:772-805`), same style.

+# reranker_p3 probes — module-head / docstring anchor evidence
+
+Persisted 2026-09-29 from `%TEMP%\opencode\` (byte-identical copies, hashes in SHA256SUMS).
+
+## What
+
+Two fresh-process direct-reranker probes that bypass retrieval and POST
+straight to the reranker. Finding: the gold module-head/docstring chunk of
+`src/core/artifact_gc.py` outscores every code chunk on holdout-style queries,
+while the `_prune`-body code chunk scores a negative logit (P3 -0.99, R2 -2.60
+in the eval path). Motivation for the P3 module-head anchor: guarantee the
+docstring chunk a place in the pre-rerank pool.
+
+## When / how run
+
+- Both scripts stdlib-only (`urllib`), run as `python <script> <out.json>`.
+- Model: BGE-M3 reranker served on `http://127.0.0.1:8081` (`/rerank`;
+  probe 1 docstring says `/v1/rerank`, actual POST path in code is `/rerank`).
+- No frozen eval-16 queries were used: probe queries are holdout-style
+  P3/R2 variants (`ArtifactGC _cleanup_old_projects 30d 90d 7d retention_policy`
+  etc.), disjoint from the frozen eval set.
+
+## Files
+
+- `probe_rerank.py` — probe 1: 6 queries x 5 passages (gold_doc head 800 chars
+  of `src/core/artifact_gc.py`, gold_code `_prune` body chars [1500:2300],
+  distractors engine/settings/diary heads). Output `rerank_probe_run1.json`.
+- `probe_rerank2.py` — probe 2: every AST-plausible chunk of `artifact_gc.py`
+  (module_head + per-def chunks with scope header, 800 chars) on P3/R2 queries.
+  Output `rerank_probe_run2.json`.
+- `rerank_probe_run1.json` — 6/6 queries rank `gold_doc` #1 (sigmoid 0.69–0.99).
+- `rerank_probe_run2.json` — `module_head` top on both queries
+  (P3 +0.57, R2 +0.43); all code chunks negative except `prune_stale_artifacts`
+  on R2 (+0.27).
+
+## Citation rule
+
+Rerank numbers are cited as
+`experiments/reranker_p3/rerank_probe_run{1,2}.json` + `EXPERIMENTS_LOG.md:2809`
+(raw eval logits P3 -0.99 / R2 -2.60 on the pre-rerank pool) — never
+`judged_raw.json` for rerank scores.
+
+## Frozen prompt
+
+None — queries are listed verbatim in the scripts and in `rerank_probe_run1.json`
+(`queries.<id>.query`). No LLM judge involved.

+# Chunker module-docstring fix — live gate result (2026-09-29): RED (mechanism delivered, retrieval blocks)
+
+Branch: `fix/chunker-module-doc` (off `origin/main` + cherry-picked P3 stack:
+anchor `d3d53075`, sigmoid `f2df8160`). Task: emit module docstring as chunk 0.
+
+## 1. Mechanism (implemented, unit-verified)
+
+`src/core/indexing/parser.py`: `_extract_module_docstring` (stdlib `ast`,
+.py only) + `chunks.insert(0, …)` in `_parse_with_tree_sitter` (only when the
+walk already produced chunks — fallback path untouched), `hierarchy_map`
+`module_docstring → module`, symbol `__module_doc__`. Files without a
+docstring: byte-identical behavior. Symbols untouched (no graph pollution).
+
+`tests/test_chunker_module_doc.py`: 5 passed. Related suites green:
+`test_parser.py` 5, `test_p3_module_head_anchor.py` 9,
+`test_chunk_cache.py` + `test_move_chunks.py` + `test_scm_definitions.py` 45.
+`ruff check` clean on both files (`ruff format` not enforced repo-wide —
+all pre-existing files fail it too; new code matches file style).
+
+## 2. Live reindex (evidence)
+
+- BEFORE: 15,426 rows, 0 `module_docstring` rows; `artifact_gc.py` 6 chunks,
+  chunk 0 = `function_definition` (`def _dir_has_files`).
+- Method: wipe `delete("1 = 1")` (no rmtree — live servers hold the DB open)
+  + `indexer.index_project(project)` with working-tree code, embedder :8080.
+- AFTER (repaired, see §4): **14,839 rows**, **371 `module_docstring` chunks**,
+  0 dup `(file_path, chunk_index)`; `artifact_gc.py` 7 chunks,
+  chunk 0 = `module_docstring` (start_line 1, head = file docstring).
+- Direct rerank of the new chunk 0 on the P3 query: **logit +1.21 / sig 0.77**
+  (probe predicted +0.83; old chunk 0 scored −6.66 and the probe passage did
+  not exist). Chunk 1 scores −6.52 → correctly cut. The chunker half of the
+  drill-down is closed.
+
+## 3. Gate (fresh process, `scripts/p3_holdout_gate.py`, rev `f2df8160`)
+
+```
+P2  rank=2    n=5  (expected 1 — REGRESSION vs FALSIFIED baseline rank 1)
+P3  rank=None n=2  (expected 1) | R2 rank=3 n=3 (expected 1; was None)
+H1  3 n=3 | H2 None n=1 | H3 3 n=3 | H4 2 n=2 | H5 1 n=5 | H6 3 n=5
+H7  None n=1 | H8 1 n=5 | H9 None n=5 | H10 None n=1 | H11 1 n=4 | H12 2 n=3
+N1  None (clean) | DOC None (clean)
+```
+
+Controls clean throughout: no unexpected boosts, no doc boosts, no
+reranker-cache voids, no degraded rows, no timeouts
+(`model=llama.cpp-reranker` every row — sigmoid fix confirmed live).
+
+## 4. Analysis (why RED)
+
+1. **Retrieval never surfaces any `artifact_gc.py` chunk for the P3 query.**
+   FINAL n=2 are both JSON experiment artifacts
+   (`reranker_p3/rerank_probe_run1.json:0`, `noderag/results/results.json:1`).
+   The P3 query's distinctive terms (`_cleanup_old_projects`,
+   `retention_policy`) occur verbatim in OUR OWN probe/result JSON
+   (verified by grep) and nowhere in `artifact_gc.py` — they dominate BM25
+   while the 0.77 doc chunk sits outside the pool. The P3 pool-anchor can
+   only anchor chunk 0 of files *already in the pool*; with zero pool chunks
+   from the target file it cannot fire. Design-level finding, not an
+   implementation bug. Fixing it means broadening retrieval/anchor scope —
+   beyond this task's minimal chunker brief.
+2. **P2 rank 2 is run-to-run noise, not a chunker regression.** A follow-up
+   fresh-process P2 run put `engine.py:35` back at rank 1; that run logged
+   `FTS5 search timed out (>2s), skipping FTS5 tier` — tier membership
+   flip-flops (~2.18s prebuild vs 2s budget) and moves ranks 1↔2. Same noise
+   class explains H6 2→3 / H11 2→1 / H12 None→2 wobbles. H-set: no systematic
+   demotion (H5=1, H8=1, H11=1 hold; R2 None→3 and H12 None→2 improved).
+3. **Infra incidents during this run (caveats):**
+   - Double-write: post-reindex table held 29,134 rows (every chunk twice,
+     identical ids). In-run mechanism unproven; repaired deterministically
+     (pandas dedup by id → wipe → single re-add, round-trip validated on a
+     scratch table first: vectors/text identical). AFTER = 14,839 verified.
+   - `_safe_ivf_index` (optimize/create_index) aborted: PID lock held by live
+     MCP servers (pid 2944/13172). Table now has NO vector index (flat exact
+     scan — correct, slightly slower; fine for the gate). Owner should run
+     `intel_trigger_reindex(full)` or Reload-Window Zed so the servers
+     re-open the table (their handles predate the wipe) and finalize IVF.
+   - Unrelated dirt `experiments/planted_break/results.json` was already
+     modified before this task — left untouched, unstaged.
+
+## Verdict
+
+RED per gate rule (P3 None, P2 2, R2 3 — all expected 1). No PR opened.
+Chunker fix stands on its own (unit + live verified); P3 rank 1 needs a
+retrieval-side follow-up (anchor scope / BM25 competition from experiment
+JSON artifacts), proposed as the next drill-down level, not this branch.

+# P3 module-head anchor — live result (2026-09-29): FALSIFIED
+
+Mechanism implemented per `PREREG.md` (`_anchor_module_head_chunks_async`,
+`engine.py`, P2-style, caps `_O1_ANCHOR_TOTAL` / `MAX_RERANKER_INPUT=30`,
+`MIN_RERANK_SCORE=0.3` untouched). Live holdout validation
+(`scripts/p3_holdout_gate.py`, fresh process, FTS prebuild + discarded warm-up
++ per-case reranker-cache clear, BGE-M3 on :8081, embed on :8080) REJECTS the
+prereg expectation: **P3 rank None (expected 1), R2 rank None (expected 1)**.
+
+## What was verified live (mechanism works as coded)
+
+Pre-rerank pool capture for the P3 query
+(`ArtifactGC _cleanup_old_projects 30d 90d 7d retention_policy`): pool n=8,
+`src/core/artifact_gc.py:0` present with `module_head_anchor=True`, pool cap
+respected. The anchor does what the spec says.
+
+## Why the hit does not happen (two load-bearing findings)
+
+1. **chunk_index 0 is not a docstring chunk — for ANY file.** The AST chunker
+   drops module-level docstrings index-wide (verified: `artifact_gc.py` has 6
+   chunks, all function-scoped; chunk 0 = `def _dir_has_files`, len 279;
+   `engine.py` chunk 0 = `def _cache_key`; `graph.py`, `llama_runner.py`
+   likewise first-function). The probe passage that scores +0.83 (`gold_doc`,
+   first 800 chars of the file) does not exist as an indexed chunk. The real
+   chunk 0 scores **-6.66** on the P3 query — correctly cut. No pool-anchor can
+   place a chunk the index never built. Prereg clause (i)/(ii) fire.
+2. **The EXPERIMENTS_LOG:2813 sigmoid fix is absent from the code.**
+   `grep sigmoid src/` = zero hits; the llama_cpp path stores raw logits in
+   `reranker_score` (`multi_provider.py:500-502`, `apply_scores`) and filters
+   them against `MIN_RERANK_SCORE=0.3` (`multi_provider.py:670`). Live winner
+   for P3 was a junk JSON chunk at logit +1.65; FINAL n=1. Out of scope here
+   (threshold untouched by design), but it explains the all-None holdout rows.
+
+## Full holdout table (branch, rev e5756f55 + anchor)
+
+```
+P2  rank=1    n=2  (no P2 regression)
+P3  rank=None n=1  | R2 rank=None n=1
+H1  None n=1 | H2 None n=1 | H3 None n=1 | H4 2 n=2 | H5 1 n=5 | H6 2 n=3
+H7  None n=1 | H8 1 n=5 | H9 None n=5 | H10 None n=1 | H11 2 n=2 | H12 None n=1
+N1  None (negative control, clean) | DOC None (doc-control, clean)
+```
+
+Controls clean throughout: no unexpected boosts, no doc boosts, no
+reranker-cache voids, no degraded rows (reranker ran every query,
+`model=llama.cpp-reranker`). H-rank Nones are threshold cuts (finding 2),
+not anchor demotions — the anchor is append-only pre-rerank and cannot demote
+a chunk that passes the threshold.
+
+## Verdict
+
+FALSIFIED per prereg rule. No PR opened (nothing to propose). Next step, if
+wanted, is index-level, not pool-level: emit a module-docstring chunk at index
+time (parser/indexer change + reindex), then re-run this gate. The mocked
+suite (`tests/test_p3_module_head_anchor.py`, 9 passed) and the gate script
+stay on the branch as the reusable harness for that attempt.
