v0.32.6 feat: brain-consistency probe + doctor + MCP + dream-cycle wire-up (#901)

* feat(eval-contradictions): types + pure helpers for v0.33.0 probe

Foundational module for the contradiction measurement probe (v0.33.0 plan).
Pure, hermetic, no engine or LLM dependencies. Sets the wire contract for
the rest of the implementation.

- types.ts: schema_version + PROMPT_VERSION + TRUNCATION_POLICY constants,
  ProbeReport + ContradictionPair + JudgeVerdict + cache/run row shapes.
- calibration.ts: Wilson 95% CI on the headline percentage with exact
  clamping at p=0 and p=1 (floating-point overshoot regression guard);
  small_sample_note when n<30.
- judge-errors.ts: first-class typed error collector (Codex fix — bias
  guard for the silent-skip-on-throw decision); classifier maps to
  parse_fail/refusal/timeout/http_5xx/unknown.
- severity-classify.ts: parseSeverity defaults to 'low' on garbage input;
  bucketBySeverity + buildHotPages (descending rank + tie-break by severity).
- date-filter.ts: three-rule A1 pre-filter — same-paragraph-dual-date
  beats the separation rule (flip-flop case); missing dates falls through
  to the judge; only "both explicit AND >30d apart" actually skips.

51 hermetic tests across the four pure modules; typecheck clean.

* feat(eval-contradictions): schema migrations + engine methods (v0.33.0)

Adds the persistent surface the contradiction probe needs: two new tables
plus five BrainEngine methods, mirrored cleanly across PGLite + Postgres.

Migrations v51 + v52 (idempotent on both engines):
  - eval_contradictions_cache: composite PK on (chunk_a_hash, chunk_b_hash,
    model_id, prompt_version, truncation_policy) per Codex outside-voice
    fix; verdict JSONB; expires_at-driven TTL.
  - eval_contradictions_runs: one row per probe run; Wilson CI bounds,
    judge-error totals, source-tier breakdown, full report_json.

Engine methods (interface + 2 impls each):
  - listActiveTakesForPages(pageIds, opts): P1 batched per-page fetch.
    Single WHERE page_id = ANY($1) AND active = true; replaces the O(K)
    loop the probe would otherwise pay per query.
  - writeContradictionsRun(row): M5 time-series insert; idempotent on
    run_id via ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING.
  - loadContradictionsTrend(days): M5 history read, newest first.
  - getContradictionCacheEntry(key): P2 cache lookup; 5-component key
    includes prompt_version + truncation_policy.
  - putContradictionCacheEntry(opts): cache upsert with TTL refresh.
  - sweepContradictionCache(): periodic expired-row purge.

JSONB writes use sql.json() on Postgres (matches existing eval_takes_quality
+ raw_data patterns; not the literal-template-tag pattern banned by
scripts/check-jsonb-pattern.sh). PGLite uses $N::jsonb positional binds.

17 hermetic tests on PGLite cover P1 (4 cases: empty, grouped, supersede-
excludes, holder-allow-list), M5 (5 cases: write+read, idempotent run_id,
newest-first, days-window, JSONB round-trip), P2 (6 cases: miss, put-get,
prompt-version differs, truncation differs, upsert refreshes, sweep
deletes expired). Existing 109 migrate + bootstrap tests still green.

Schema mirror in pglite-schema.ts; source.sql regenerated to schema-embedded.

* feat(eval-contradictions): cross-source + cost-tracker + cache wrappers

Three pure-orchestration modules between the engine surface and the
runner. Each is independently testable; the cache wrapper does hit the
PGLite engine end-to-end since its job is to round-trip through P2.

- cross-source.ts (M6): classifySlugTier maps a slug to curated/bulk/other
  using DEFAULT_SOURCE_BOOSTS (boost > 1.05 = curated, < 0.95 = bulk).
  buildSourceTierBreakdown produces the {curated_vs_curated,
  curated_vs_bulk, bulk_vs_bulk, other} counts; order-independent on
  the pair members.

- cost-tracker.ts (A2 + P3): estimateUpperBoundCost for pre-flight refuse.
  CostTracker records judge calls (per-token-pricing per model) AND
  embedding calls (Codex P3 fix). Soft-ceiling semantics documented
  in the estimate_note string surfaced in the final report (Codex
  caveat: "hard ceiling" was overclaimed for token estimates).
  Anthropic + OpenAI pricing baked in; unknown models fall back to
  Haiku rates.

- cache.ts (P2 wrapper): hashContent (sha256), buildCacheKey with
  lex-sorted (a, b) so verdicts are order-independent and key bakes in
  PROMPT_VERSION + TRUNCATION_POLICY (Codex outside-voice fix). JudgeCache
  class tracks hits/misses for the run report. Shape validation guards
  against corrupt rows: a cache row that doesn't parse as JudgeVerdict
  treats as a miss instead of crashing downstream.

40 hermetic tests across the three modules. Cache tests hit PGLite for
real round-trip coverage of the new engine methods committed in C2.

* feat(eval-contradictions): judge + auto-supersession + fixture-redact

Three modules that together turn an LLM into a contradiction probe and
its output into actionable resolutions.

- judge.ts: judgeContradiction() is the single LLM call. Query-conditioned
  prompt (Codex outside-voice fix — the judge sees what the user asked).
  Holder context for take pairs (C3). UTF-8-safe truncation at maxPairChars
  (default 1500, --max-pair-chars overridable; C4 wire-up). C1
  double-enforcement: orchestrator filters contradicts:true with confidence
  < 0.7 to false regardless of prompt rules. parseJudgeJSON is a 3-strategy
  generic parser (direct → fence-strip → trailing-comma + quote + first-{}
  extraction) — we don't reuse parseModelJSON because that's shape-locked
  to cross-modal-eval's scores payload. Refusal detection via stopReason
  AND text-pattern fallback. chatFn injection for hermetic tests.

- auto-supersession.ts (M7): proposeResolution classifies each pair into
  takes_supersede / dream_synthesize / takes_mark_debate / manual_review
  and emits a paste-ready CLI command. Judge's hint wins on cross-slug
  pairs (it has semantic context); structural fallback prefers
  dream_synthesize when either side is a curated entity slug
  (companies/, people/, deals/, projects/). pairToFinding merges a pair +
  verdict into a ContradictionFinding.

- fixture-redact.ts (T2): privacy-redacted pass for the gold fixture
  build. Layers PII scrubber (v0.25.0 eval-capture-scrub) + slug rewrites
  (people/<name> → people/alice-example, deterministic per session) +
  capitalized firstname-lastname detection + monetary obfuscation
  (multiply revenues by session salt to preserve magnitude shape).
  isCleanForCommit is the pre-commit safety net: blocks if any raw name
  or email shape survives. Audit trail records every redaction made.

60 hermetic tests. Judge tests use direct chatFn stub (cleaner than
module-level transport seam for one-shot wrapper).

* feat(eval-contradictions): trends + runner orchestrator (v0.33.0)

The heart of the probe — runner.ts ties every prior module together,
trends.ts writes one row per run to eval_contradictions_runs and produces
the trend chart for the CLI `trend` sub-subcommand.

runner.ts:
  - Pair generation: cross-slug across top-K results (same-slug skipped)
    + intra-page chunk-vs-take via P1 batched listActiveTakesForPages.
  - A1 date pre-filter wired: pairs separated by >30 days skip without
    judge calls; same-paragraph-dual-date overrides separation rule
    (flip-flop case sees the judge).
  - A3 deterministic sampling: combined_score DESC, slug-lex tiebreaker,
    stable across re-runs.
  - A2 soft budget ceiling: pre-flight estimate refuses without --yes;
    mid-run cumulative cost stops the run and emits a partial report.
  - P2 cache integration: lookup before judge call, store after; hit/miss
    counters drive the cache stats block in the report.
  - C2 first-class judge_errors: every throw counted via the typed
    collector, surfaced in report.judge_errors with the no-silent-skip
    `note` field.
  - Wilson CI on the headline percentage; small_sample_note when n<30.
  - source_tier_breakdown + hot_pages aggregated across all findings.
  - AbortSignal propagation for cancellation mid-run.
  - PreFlightBudgetError exported as a discriminable rejection class.
  - Hermetic via judgeFn + searchFn dependency injection — runner tests
    stub both without ever touching the real gateway or hybridSearch.

trends.ts:
  - writeRunRow flattens a ProbeReport into the eval_contradictions_runs
    row shape, including Wilson CI bounds + duration_ms.
  - loadTrend reads back as typed TrendRow[].
  - renderTrendChart produces a fixed-width ASCII bar chart; empty input
    prints a friendly message naming the command to populate runs.

41 new hermetic tests on PGLite (15 trends, 26 runner). Full
eval-contradictions suite at 194/194 across 13 files.

* feat(eval-contradictions): CLI + eval dispatch + mini fixture (v0.33.0)

User-facing surface: `gbrain eval suspected-contradictions [run|trend|review]`.
Engine-required sub-subcommand, dispatched via the existing eval.ts pattern
(matches `replay`).

Run mode:
  --queries-file FILE | --query "..." | --from-capture  (mutually exclusive)
  --top-k N=5  --judge MODEL=claude-haiku-4-5  --limit N
  --budget-usd N (default $5 TTY / $1 non-TTY) --yes
  --output FILE  --max-pair-chars N=1500
  --sampling deterministic|score-first  --no-cache  --refresh-cache  --json

Trend mode: --days N=30 [--json]
Review mode: --severity low|medium|high  --since YYYY-MM-DD

A4 wired: --from-capture detects empty eval_candidates and exits 2 with
hint naming GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1 / eval.capture config key.

Human summary on stderr always prints Wilson CI band, judge_errors counts
broken out by class, cache hit-rate, source-tier breakdown, hot pages.
Partial-report warning when mid-run budget cap fires.

Run-row persistence (M5) writes to eval_contradictions_runs every successful
run; subsequent `trend` and `review` invocations read from there.

PreFlightBudgetError surfaces as exit 1 with the calculated estimate + cap
in the message — operators see the exact number to pass to --budget-usd
or override with --yes.

TrendRow type extended with report_json so `review` can fetch the latest
run's findings without a second query.

test/fixtures/contradictions-mini.jsonl: 5 redacted queries for CLI smoke.

Full eval-contradictions suite: 194 hermetic tests across 13 files. Real-
brain CLI smoke covered by the E2E in commit 9.

* feat(eval-contradictions): doctor + MCP + synthesize integrations (M1+M2+M3)

Three thin wire-ups that turn the probe's output into action surfaces:

M1 (doctor): src/commands/doctor.ts adds a `contradictions` check after
the eval_capture check. Reads loadContradictionsTrend(7), surfaces the
latest run's headline + severity breakdown + Wilson CI band + first 3
high-severity findings with paste-ready resolution commands. ok status
when no runs exist or no findings; warn when high-severity > 0. Graceful
skip when the table doesn't exist yet (pre-migration brain).

M3 (MCP): src/core/operations.ts adds `find_contradictions` op (scope:
read, NOT localOnly — agent-callable over HTTP MCP). Params: slug
(substring match), severity (low|medium|high), limit. Reads
loadContradictionsTrend(30), returns the latest run's findings filtered.
NOT in the subagent allowlist by design — user-initiated only, not
autonomous-action surface. New FIND_CONTRADICTIONS_DESCRIPTION constant
in operations-descriptions.ts.

M2 (synthesize): src/core/cycle/synthesize.ts pre-fetches the latest
probe findings once at phase start (loadPriorContradictionsBlock helper)
and threads up to 5 highest-severity items into buildSynthesisPrompt as
an informational block. Subagent sees what to reconcile when writing
compiled_truth to flagged slugs. Empty trend yields empty block (existing
behavior unchanged on fresh installs). Try/catch around the engine call
keeps synthesize robust even when the contradiction tables don't exist
yet.

11 new hermetic tests for the MCP op (registry presence, scope, empty
case, slug+severity+limit filters) and the M1/M2 data-shape contracts
(end-to-end runDoctor coverage deferred to commit 9's E2E because doctor
calls process.exit).

Full eval-contradictions suite: 226/226 across 15 test files.

* feat(eval-contradictions): build-contradictions-fixture script (T2)

Local-only operator script for building the privacy-redacted gold fixture
used by the precision/recall test (deferred to v0.34 when probe data
informs the labeling). Runs against the user's REAL brain via the local
gbrain engine config; never auto-run in CI.

Flow:
  1. Read --queries-file (JSONL); spin up engine via loadConfig +
     toEngineConfig + createEngine + connectWithRetry.
  2. Run the contradiction probe with --no-cache and a stubbed judgeFn
     that captures candidate pairs without spending tokens.
  3. Interactive prompts (skipped under --non-interactive): for each
     candidate, the operator labels y/n/skip + severity + axis.
  4. Apply the v0.33.0 fixture-redact passes (slug rewrite, name
     placeholders, monetary obfuscation, PII scrubber).
  5. Pre-commit safety gate: every text field passes isCleanForCommit;
     anything that fails gets a [REDACT?] sentinel + an _operator_review
     marker on the JSONL line, and the script exits 1 so the operator
     can't accidentally commit unredacted output.

Audit comment block at the top of the JSONL records every redaction
the session made (slug→placeholder, name→placeholder, monetary
multiplication) so reviewers can see what was changed.

Usage:
  bun run scripts/build-contradictions-fixture.ts \\
    --queries-file FILE.jsonl \\
    [--top-k N] [--judge MODEL] [--max-pairs N] [--output PATH] \\
    [--non-interactive]

Output defaults to test/fixtures/contradictions-eval-gold.jsonl.

Typecheck clean; redactor + isCleanForCommit guard tested separately
in test/eval-contradictions-fixture-redact.test.ts.

* test(e2e): real-Postgres E2E for contradiction probe (v0.33.0, T1)

Required-on-DATABASE_URL E2E covering Postgres-specific behavior that
PGLite can't exercise. Six surface areas, 12 cases total. All pass on
fresh pgvector/pgvector:pg16:

1. Migrations v51 + v52 apply cleanly; both tables exist in
   information_schema; Wilson CI columns are REAL; composite PK on
   eval_contradictions_cache includes prompt_version + truncation_policy
   (Codex outside-voice fix pinned at the schema level).

2. JSONB round-trip on Postgres: writeContradictionsRun + loadTrend
   preserves nested object shapes (regression guard against the v0.12
   double-encode bug class). Confirmed via jsonb_typeof = 'object', not
   'string'.

3. P2 cache with real now(): lookup/upsert round-trip, expired rows
   hidden from lookup, sweepContradictionCache deletes them, and
   different prompt_version is a separate cache key.

4. M5 trend semantics: TIMESTAMPTZ ordering DESC is stable on real PG;
   days-window filter via ran_at >= cutoff correctly excludes/includes
   backdated rows.

5. find_contradictions MCP op end-to-end: empty case returns "No probe
   runs" note; populated case returns latest run findings with slug
   substring + severity filters applied.

Verified locally against pgvector:pg16 on port 5434 — all 12 cases pass.
Skips gracefully when DATABASE_URL is unset per gbrain E2E convention.

* v0.33.0 feat: brain-consistency probe + doctor + MCP + dream-cycle wire-up

VERSION 0.32.0 → 0.33.0. package.json + CHANGELOG.md + llms-full.txt synced.

Headline: gbrain learns to detect its own integrity drift.

  - new command: gbrain eval suspected-contradictions [run|trend|review]
  - new MCP op: find_contradictions(slug?, severity?, limit?)
  - new doctor check: contradictions (paste-ready resolution commands)
  - new dream-cycle hook: synthesize reads prior contradictions per slug
  - new schema: v51 (eval_contradictions_cache) + v52 (eval_contradictions_runs)
  - 6 new engine methods (listActiveTakesForPages, write/load run, P2 cache trio)

Codex outside-voice review folded in:
  - Command name "suspected-contradictions" (was "contradictions" — describes
    what the tool actually does, not what it pretends to evaluate)
  - judge_errors first-class output (not silent stderr — biased denominator)
  - prompt_version + truncation_policy in cache key (prompt edits cleanly
    invalidate prior verdicts)
  - Wilson 95% CI on headline % + small_sample_note when n<30
  - Query-conditioned judge prompt (sees user's query, not just two chunks)
  - Deterministic sampling for prevalence metric (stable cache hit-rate)

Decision criterion for the bigger swing (chunk-level revises field):
  Wilson CI lower-bound:
    <5%  → source-boost + recency-decay + curated pages handle the load
    5-15% → operator's call
    >15% → plan for v0.34+

New docs:
  - docs/contradictions.md (architecture, severity rubric, action criteria)
  - docs/eval-bench.md extended (nightly cadence + trend workflow)
  - skills/migrations/v0.33.0.md (post-upgrade agent instructions)

Full test suite green at the cut:
  - 226 hermetic unit tests across 15 files (eval-contradictions-*)
  - 12 real-Postgres E2E (DATABASE_URL=...; verified locally on pgvector:pg16)
  - typecheck clean
  - build:llms regenerated and the test/build-llms.test.ts gate passes

 All notable changes to GBrain will be documented in this file.
 
+## [0.32.6] - 2026-05-11
+
+**Your brain learns to detect its own integrity drift.**
+**New `gbrain eval suspected-contradictions` probe + doctor + MCP wire-up.**
+
+A user (Fergtic, Chronicle writeup) flagged that gbrain handles contradictions for *curated* pages via compiled-truth-plus-timeline + source-boost, but raw extracted claims don't have a supersession story. On evaluation, most of the supersession case is already handled — `takes.active` filter hides superseded takes from search; source-boost ranks curated content above bulk; recency-decay applies per-prefix half-life; compiled_truth chunks get a guaranteed slot in dedup. What's NOT measured: whether unmarked semantic contradictions actually surface in retrieval results, and whether the brain has a self-healing loop to act on them once detected.
+
+v0.32.6 is a complete brain-consistency subsystem, not a one-off probe. A measurement instrument + agent-facing surface + dream-cycle integration + persistent cache + time-series tracking. The size is intentional — the goal is "trustworthy nightly cadence" not "run it once and decide."
+
+### The numbers that matter
+
+A full 9-commit branch behind the feature flag of "the user asked for it." 226 hermetic tests + 12 real-Postgres E2E cases. The probe ships ready for the user's brain to populate.
+
+```
+new command              gbrain eval suspected-contradictions [run|trend|review]
+new MCP op               find_contradictions(slug?, severity?, limit?)
+new doctor check         contradictions  (paste-ready resolution commands)
+new dream-cycle hook     synthesize phase reads prior contradictions per slug
+new schema migrations    v51 (eval_contradictions_cache), v52 (eval_contradictions_runs)
+new engine methods       listActiveTakesForPages, writeContradictionsRun,
+                          loadContradictionsTrend, getContradictionCacheEntry,
+                          putContradictionCacheEntry, sweepContradictionCache
+```
+
+The probe samples top-K retrieval pairs per query (cross-slug + intra-page chunk-vs-take), runs a date pre-filter to skip obvious quarterly-update shapes, asks an LLM judge with severity scoring, aggregates into a per-query + global report with Wilson 95% confidence interval on the headline percentage. Soft budget cap with pre-flight refuse + mid-run stop. Persistent judge cache keyed on `(chunk_a_hash, chunk_b_hash, model_id, prompt_version, truncation_policy)` so prompt edits cleanly invalidate prior verdicts. `judge_errors` is first-class in the report (parse_fail, refusal, timeout, http_5xx, unknown) — silent skips were the wrong default; counting errors in the denominator keeps the headline honest.
+
+### What this means for new users
+
+`gbrain init` keeps OpenAI as the zero-config default. After the migration, run `gbrain eval suspected-contradictions --query "what is X" --top-k 5` to see what the probe finds against your real brain. If `gbrain doctor` flags any high-severity contradictions, each one ships with a paste-ready resolution command: `gbrain takes supersede`, `gbrain dream --phase synthesize --slug`, or `gbrain takes mark-debate`. The agent can call `find_contradictions(slug="companies/acme")` during conversations to surface findings proactively.
+
+The bigger swing (chunk-level `revises` field + ranking change + synthesize-prompt coupling) is still gated on probe data — if your Wilson CI lower-bound stays <5% across a month of nightly runs, source-boost + recency-decay + curated pages are doing the job and we stop. If >15%, plan in v0.34+.
+
+### To take advantage of v0.32.6
+
+`gbrain upgrade` should do this automatically. If it didn't:
+
+1. **Apply the migrations:**
+   ```bash
+   gbrain apply-migrations --yes
+   ```
+   Adds tables v51 + v52 plus their indexes. Idempotent on both PGLite and Postgres.
+
+2. **Run the probe against a few real queries:**
+   ```bash
+   gbrain eval suspected-contradictions --query "what is alice's role at acme" --top-k 5 --json
+   ```
+   Default budget is $5 in TTY, $1 non-TTY. Judge defaults to `anthropic:claude-haiku-4-5`.
+
+3. **Inspect findings in doctor:**
+   ```bash
+   gbrain doctor
+   ```
+   Look for the `contradictions` check. High-severity items ship with paste-ready resolution commands.
+
+4. **Read the new docs**: `docs/contradictions.md` (architecture + severity rubric) and `docs/eval-bench.md` (workflow for nightly runs + trend tracking).
+
+5. **No breaking changes**: existing search, ranking, synthesize, and takes behavior is unchanged. The find_contradictions MCP op is read-scope (NOT in the subagent allowlist — user-initiated only).
+
+6. **Privacy posture**: probe output (slugs, chunk text, take claims) is stored in `eval_contradictions_runs.report_json` on your local brain. The build-contradictions-fixture script applies a multi-pass redactor before any output is committed to the repo; the operator must inspect every redaction.
+
+### Itemized changes
+
+#### Probe core (9 modules)
+
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/types.ts` — wire contract. `schema_version: 1`, `PROMPT_VERSION = '1'`, `TRUNCATION_POLICY = '1500-chars-utf8-safe'`. Stable JSON output shapes (ProbeReport, ContradictionFinding, JudgeVerdict, etc.).
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/judge.ts` — `judgeContradiction()` is the single LLM call. Query-conditioned prompt (Codex outside-voice fix — judge sees the user's query, not just two free-form chunks). Holder context for take pairs so "Alice thinks X vs Bob thinks not-X" doesn't get flagged. UTF-8-safe truncation at `maxPairChars` (default 1500, surrogate-pair aware). C1 confidence-floor double-enforcement: orchestrator filters `contradicts: true` cases where `confidence < 0.7` even if the model ignored the prompt rule.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/runner.ts` — the orchestrator. Pair generation (cross-slug + intra-page), date pre-filter (3-rule), deterministic sampling, A2 budget tracker, cache integration, C2 first-class judge_errors, Wilson CI aggregation, hot_pages roll-up. `PreFlightBudgetError` is a discriminable rejection class.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/date-filter.ts` — 3-rule layered pre-filter (Codex fix to the naive single-rule approach). Same-paragraph-dual-date overrides the separation rule (flip-flop case sees the judge). Missing-date side always falls through to the judge.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/calibration.ts` — Wilson 95% confidence interval, exact-clamping at p=0 and p=1, small-sample warning when n < 30.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/cost-tracker.ts` — A2 soft ceiling + P3 embedding-spend tracking. Anthropic + OpenAI per-MTok pricing baked in.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/cache.ts` — P2 persistent cache wrapper. 5-component key (Codex fix includes prompt_version + truncation_policy). Order-independent on (a, b) via lex-sorted SHA-256 hashes. Shape-validates JSONB on read so corrupt rows treat as miss.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/cross-source.ts` — M6 source-tier breakdown. Reuses `DEFAULT_SOURCE_BOOSTS` prefix logic; emits {curated_vs_curated, curated_vs_bulk, bulk_vs_bulk, other} counts.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/severity-classify.ts` — M4 severity helpers (parse, sort, bucket, hot-page rollup).
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/auto-supersession.ts` — M7 resolution-proposal generator. Classifies into takes_supersede / dream_synthesize / takes_mark_debate / manual_review with paste-ready CLI commands.
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/judge-errors.ts` — typed error collector (Codex fix — silent skip was wrong; errors counted in denominator).
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/trends.ts` — M5 time-series helpers (write/read + ASCII chart renderer).
+- `src/core/eval-contradictions/fixture-redact.ts` — privacy redactor for the gold-fixture build path (slug rewrite, name placeholders, monetary obfuscation, PII scrubber wrapper). Fail-closed via `isCleanForCommit`.
+
+#### CLI + dispatch + agent surfaces
+
+- `src/commands/eval-suspected-contradictions.ts` — new `gbrain eval suspected-contradictions [run|trend|review]` command. ~350 LOC. A4 empty-capture UX: `--from-capture` against empty `eval_candidates` exits 2 with hint naming `GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1`.
+- `src/commands/eval.ts` — sub-subcommand dispatch updated (~5 lines).
+- `src/commands/doctor.ts` — new `contradictions` check (M1). Severity-sorted findings with paste-ready commands; gracefully skipped pre-migration.
+- `src/core/operations.ts` — new `find_contradictions` MCP op (M3, read scope, NOT localOnly). Filter by slug substring + severity + limit.
+- `src/core/operations-descriptions.ts` — `FIND_CONTRADICTIONS_DESCRIPTION` constant.
+- `src/core/cycle/synthesize.ts` — M2 prompt injection. `loadPriorContradictionsBlock` pre-fetches the latest probe's top-5-by-severity findings once at phase start and threads them into `buildSynthesisPrompt` as an informational block. Subagent sees what to reconcile when writing to flagged slugs. Empty trend = empty block, fresh-install behavior unchanged.
+
+#### Engine surface (P1 + M3 + M5 + P2)
+
+- `src/core/engine.ts` + `src/core/postgres-engine.ts` + `src/core/pglite-engine.ts` — 6 new methods. P1 `listActiveTakesForPages` batches the per-page active-take fetch (single `WHERE page_id = ANY($1)` instead of N round-trips). M5 `writeContradictionsRun` + `loadContradictionsTrend` are the time-series surface. P2 `getContradictionCacheEntry` + `putContradictionCacheEntry` + `sweepContradictionCache` are the cache surface. JSONB writes use `sql.json()` on Postgres (no double-encode regression class) and `$N::jsonb` on PGLite.
+
+#### Schema (2 migrations)
+
+- `src/core/migrate.ts` — v51 `eval_contradictions_cache` (composite PK on 5 components; expires_at-driven TTL). v52 `eval_contradictions_runs` (Wilson CI bounds, source_tier_breakdown JSONB, full report_json blob). Both idempotent on both engines.
+- `src/core/pglite-schema.ts` + `src/schema.sql` — DDL mirror. RLS-enable lines for the two new tables.
+- `src/core/schema-embedded.ts` — regenerated.
+
+#### Scripts + fixtures
+
+- `scripts/build-contradictions-fixture.ts` — operator script for building the privacy-redacted gold fixture against a real brain. Interactive labeling, multi-pass redactor, pre-commit `isCleanForCommit` safety gate.
+- `test/fixtures/contradictions-mini.jsonl` — 5 redacted-style queries for CLI smoke testing.
+
+#### Tests
+
+- 226 hermetic unit tests across 15 files: judge (25), runner (26), trends (15), engine methods (17), cache (14), cost (12), date-filter (15), calibration (13), severity (14), judge-errors (12), cross-source (13), auto-supersession (12), fixture-redact (16), integrations (11), plus shared helpers.
+- 12 real-Postgres E2E cases in `test/e2e/eval-contradictions-postgres.test.ts` covering migrations, JSONB round-trip, cache TTL with `now()`, M5 trend TIMESTAMPTZ ordering, and the find_contradictions MCP op end-to-end. Required-on-DATABASE_URL per gbrain convention.
+
+#### For contributors
+
+- Three-layer cohesion in the runner: pair generation → date pre-filter → cache lookup → judge → cost track → aggregate. Hermetic via `judgeFn` + `searchFn` dependency injection — no test ever touches the real LLM gateway or hybrid search.
+- `__setChatTransportForTests` already existed at `src/core/ai/gateway.ts:421` — judge tests use direct `chatFn` injection instead (cleaner for one-shot wrappers).
+- Codex outside-voice review caught 5 fixes that are now standard: command rename (`contradictions` → `suspected-contradictions`), judge_errors as first-class output, prompt_version + truncation_policy in cache key, Wilson CI on headline, query-conditioned judge prompt. All folded in.
+- Decision-point not in TODOS.md per user preference: after a month of nightly runs, check Wilson CI lower-bound. If <5%, source-boost + recency-decay + curated pages are doing the job and the bigger swing (chunk-level `revises`) stops here. If >15%, plan for v0.34+.

+# gbrain eval suspected-contradictions (v0.32.6)
+
+The contradiction probe samples retrieval results, asks an LLM judge whether
+any pair contradicts on a factual claim relevant to the user's query, and
+aggregates into a calibrated report. The output is data — the operator
+decides what to act on. This doc covers the architecture, severity rubric,
+how to interpret the headline number, and when to act.
+
+## Why this exists
+
+gbrain handles contradictions for *curated* pages via compiled-truth-plus-
+timeline and source-boost: when `companies/acme.md` says MRR is $2M and a
+chat transcript from 2024 says MRR was $50K, the curated page outranks the
+chat. `takes.active` filtering hides explicitly-superseded takes. Recency
+decay biases ranking toward fresher content per source-tier.
+
+What none of those mechanisms measure: how often do unmarked semantic
+contradictions actually surface in retrieval? Without a probe, every
+"should we build the bigger swing (chunk-level `revises` field + ranking
+change)" decision is vibes. The probe produces evidence.

+
+## Severity rubric
+
+The judge assigns severity per finding:
+
+| Level | Rubric | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `low` | naming/format differences | "Alice Smith" vs "A. Smith" |
+| `medium` | factual values that may be stale | revenue figure, headcount, valuation |
+| `high` | identity / structural claims | founder/CEO/CFO role, company status |
+
+Doctor sorts findings by severity DESC. The MCP op accepts a severity filter
+so agents can fetch just the high-priority items.
+
+## How to interpret the headline number
+
+The probe outputs `queries_with_contradiction / queries_evaluated` with a
+Wilson 95% confidence interval:
+
+```
+Queries with >=1 contradiction: 12 / 50 (24%)  Wilson CI 95%: 14–37%
+```
+
+What this says: with 95% confidence, the true rate is between 14% and 37%.
+The 24% point estimate is the most-likely-value but bounded by sampling
+noise. **`small_sample_note` fires when n < 30** — at that scale the CI is
+too wide to act on.
+
+Decision criteria for the bigger swing (chunk-level `revises` field):
+
+| Wilson CI lower bound | What it says | Action |
+|---|---|---|
+| < 5% | Source-boost + recency-decay + curated pages handle the load | Stop here; this is the right scope |
+| 5–15% | Real but bounded | Operator decides whether the cost justifies the swing |
+| > 15% | Real and substantial | Plan the bigger swing in v0.34+ |
+
+## When to act on findings
+
+Each finding ships with a `resolution_command` field — paste-ready:
+
+- `gbrain takes supersede <slug> --row N` — newer take should replace
+  the older chunk text on the same page (intra_page kind).
+- `gbrain dream --phase synthesize --slug <slug>` — compiled_truth for
+  the curated entity needs an update (cross_slug curated-vs-bulk).
+- `gbrain takes mark-debate <slug> --row N` — intentional disagreement
+  (e.g., two opinions you want to keep both of).
+- `# manual review: <a> vs <b>` — judge wasn't sure; operator decides.
+
+Run `gbrain eval suspected-contradictions review --severity high` to
+inspect findings without re-running the probe.
+
+## Cost model
+
+Default judge is `claude-haiku-4-5` at ~$1/Mtok in, $5/Mtok out. With
+the v0.32.6 truncation at 1500 chars per pair, ~500 input + 80 output
+tokens per judge call. Budget cap defaults to $5 in TTY / $1 non-TTY.
+
+- ~$0.0006 per judge call
+- ~$0.005 per query (after date pre-filter + cache hits)
+- ~$0.50 per 100 queries
+
+The persistent cache means nightly runs against the same query set
+pay near-zero on re-runs (until you bump PROMPT_VERSION).
+
+## Trust posture
+
+- Probe never mutates the brain. Runs only read pages/takes/chunks.
+  Writes go only to `eval_contradictions_runs` and `eval_contradictions_cache`.
+- MCP `find_contradictions` is read-scope. NOT in the subagent allowlist —
+  user-initiated only, not autonomous-action surface.
+- Build-fixture script is local-only. The redactor + `isCleanForCommit`
+  gate makes accidental private-data commits hard, but the operator MUST
+  inspect every redaction before commit.
+

+- Plan: `~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-hashed-dewdrop.md`
+- CHANGELOG: `## [0.32.6]` entry covers the whole release.

+
+# v0.32.6 Migration: Contradiction Probe
+
+The agent ran this version migration when the user upgraded gbrain. After
+upgrade, this file is read by the auto-update agent which performs the
+following steps automatically.
+
+## Mechanical (handled by `gbrain apply-migrations`)
+
+Two new tables get added on first connect after upgrade:
+
+- `eval_contradictions_cache` — persistent judge verdict cache, keyed on
+  (chunk_a_hash, chunk_b_hash, model_id, prompt_version, truncation_policy).
+  TTL-driven (default 30 days). Bounded by `sweepContradictionCache`.
+- `eval_contradictions_runs` — one row per `gbrain eval
+  suspected-contradictions` run. Source for the `trend` sub-subcommand
+  and the doctor `contradictions` check.
+
+Both are RLS-enabled on Postgres (matches existing eval table posture).
+On PGLite they're plain tables.
+
+## Operator action (optional)
+
+The probe is opt-in — it doesn't run automatically. To use it:
+
+```bash
+# Run against one query:
+gbrain eval suspected-contradictions --query "what is acme's MRR" --top-k 5 --json
+
+# Run against a queries file:
+gbrain eval suspected-contradictions --queries-file ~/.gbrain/queries.jsonl --top-k 5
+
+# Inspect findings without re-running:
+gbrain eval suspected-contradictions review --severity high
+
+# Trend over time:
+gbrain eval suspected-contradictions trend --days 30
+```
+
+## Doctor integration
+
+After the first probe run, `gbrain doctor` shows a `contradictions` check
+with severity breakdown + paste-ready resolution commands per HIGH-severity
+finding.
+
+## MCP integration
+
+The agent can call `find_contradictions(slug?, severity?, limit?)` during
+conversations to surface findings proactively. Reads from the latest probe
+run; does NOT trigger a new probe.
+
+## Dream cycle integration
+
+The synthesize phase reads the latest probe's top-5 highest-severity
+findings and injects them as an informational block into the synthesis
+prompt. The subagent sees what to reconcile when writing compiled_truth to
+flagged slugs. Empty trend = empty block; fresh-install behavior unchanged.
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+gbrain doctor --json | jq '.checks[] | select(.name == "contradictions")'
+```
+
+Should print an entry with status "ok" (no probe runs yet) or "warn"
+(high-severity findings present). If the entry is missing, the migration
+didn't apply — run `gbrain apply-migrations --yes` and re-check.
+
+## See also
+
+- `docs/contradictions.md` — architecture, severity rubric, action criteria
+- `docs/eval-bench.md` — recommended nightly cadence + trend workflow

+ * candidate contradiction pairs. Before commit, names + identifiers MUST be
+ * scrubbed per CLAUDE.md privacy rule: "Never reference real people, companies,
+ * funds, or private agent names in any public-facing artifact."
+ *
+ * Pass model (deterministic per session via a salt):
+ *   1. PII via the v0.25.0 scrubber (emails, phones, SSN, JWT, credit cards).
+ *   2. Slug rewrites: people/<name> → people/alice-example, companies/<name>
+ *      → companies/acme-example, deals/<name> → deals/acme-seed-example, etc.
+ *      Stable mapping within a session so the same name maps consistently.
+ *   3. Quoted-name detection: capitalized firstname-lastname patterns.
+ *   4. Numeric obfuscation: revenue / funding figures multiplied by a salt
+ *      scalar (preserves order-of-magnitude shape).
+ *
+ * Fail-closed: if the redactor can't determine a clean rewrite for a token
+ * it flagged as potentially private, it emits a sentinel string `[REDACT?]`
+ * that the operator must resolve before commit. The build script's
+ * pre-commit review surfaces every redaction made.

+ *        - intra_page_chunk_take for each unique page's active takes
+ *          (P1 batched via engine.listActiveTakesForPages)
+ *   4. Apply the A1 date pre-filter; pairs that pass go to the cache (P2)
+ *      or judge.
+ *   5. Sort by combined retrieval score; deterministic vs score-first
+ *      sampling controls the order pairs are judged (A3).
+ *   6. Track cost (A2 soft ceiling): pre-flight estimate + mid-run

+/**
+ * E2E — Postgres-specific contradiction-probe behavior (v0.32.6, T1).
+ *
+ * PGLite covers the contract; this file exercises Postgres-only surfaces
+ * that PGLite can't:
+ *   1. The actual JSONB round-trip through postgres.js — sql.json() vs
+ *      double-encode regression class.
+ *   2. Migrations v51 + v52 apply cleanly on a real PG instance and the
+ *      tables come out with the expected column shapes.
+ *   3. The P1 batched listActiveTakesForPages uses ANY($1::int[]) which
+ *      has subtly different semantics on real PG.
+ *   4. The full M5 trend write+read with PostgreSQL's TIMESTAMPTZ
+ *      semantics and ORDER BY ran_at DESC stability.
+ *   5. The P2 cache TTL semantics with real `now()` and ON CONFLICT
+ *      DO UPDATE.
+ *   6. The find_contradictions MCP op end-to-end via the dispatch path.
+ *
+ * Runs only when DATABASE_URL is set. Skips gracefully otherwise.
