Recipe 45: Memory reconciliation #45

Recipe 45 of 60 · Level 4 (Advanced) · Memory & context · Choice

Use case

Classify a new memory statement as corroborating, superseding, contradicting, or unrelated to existing evidence so a versioned store can preserve provenance and unresolved conflicts.

What to build

The folder recipes/45-memory-reconciliation/ with notebook.ipynb, README.md, and fixtures/, meeting the recipe contract. Start from python tools/new_recipe.py 45 and the template in recipes/_template/.

Build notes

• Outcomes: corroborating, superseding, contradicting, unrelated.
• A versioned store in Python keeps provenance and unresolved conflicts. It never deletes.
• Tests cover the store's invariants.

Decision design

• Choice. Options are a fixed set supplied by Python, including the fallback outcome this use case names. Show the choice, the per-option probabilities, and the confidence for individual examples before aggregating.

Level 4 scope

Stateful workflows, provenance, adversarial cases, model calibration, or several integrated decision stages.

Acceptance criteria

• recipes/45-memory-reconciliation/notebook.ipynb runs top to bottom offline, with no key and no network, and its outputs are committed
• Live mode is opt-in (JEV_COOKBOOK_LIVE=1 with TYPESAFE_API_KEY) and uses the same question definitions as the offline run
• Fixtures are synthetic, include the hard cases named in the build notes, carry gold labels, and pass the fixture validator
• Every response fixture records its provenance, and the notebook states which mode it ran in
• Evaluation: Label accuracy, and the store invariant tests.
• State, provenance, or policy rules are enforced in helpers.py and covered by tests that hold for any model answer
• Fixtures include adversarial, conflicting, or stateful cases, and the notebook walks through at least one
• No statement about Jev's quality, latency, or cost appears without recorded live inference; in a synthetic run, metrics are labelled as pipeline checks
• recipes/45-memory-reconciliation/README.md says what the recipe teaches, how to run it, and what was and was not measured live
• The pull request changes only recipes/45-memory-reconciliation/ and CI is green
