Owner

Three crates that use the SMESH field as a refinery for building a signed model of an organization, so an agent can look a fact up rather than confabulate it.

The design is in WORLD-MODEL.md. The short version: expert agents emit candidate nodes and edges as signals, reinforcement is independent corroboration, decay retires unsupported claims, and contested edges escalate to a human instead of being settled by the mesh. Extractors propose, verifiers judge, and one non-LLM curator signs — no expert holds two of those powers, and nothing reaches the signed graph without a human ratification record.

What is here

  • smesh-world — the kernel. Canonical Document Model, ontology, roles, candidate and delta types, plus Tier 0 intake for markdown, .eml and PDF. Tier 1 never sees a raw format, so adding one touches intake only.
  • smesh-refinery — Tier 1 and Tier 2 experts running live over OpenRouter, with adversarial verification between them.
  • smesh-ratify — the ratification bench, where a staged changeset is accepted or rejected by a person before the curator will sign it.

Rebase notes

This branch predates the QUIC and attestation work now on main, and was rebased onto it. Three conflicts, resolved differently:

  • Cargo.toml — main added ed25519-dalek, this branch added blake3. Both kept.
  • smesh-runtime/src/transport.rs — this branch boxed TransportMessage::Signal to satisfy a clippy lint. Main has since replaced that variant with Signal { signal, age_secs }, which carries the age used to rebase decay against the receiver's clock and passes the same lint. Main's supersedes it, so that commit dropped out of the branch entirely — the work had genuinely been done twice.
  • .gitignore — disjoint additions, merged.

A later commit re-declared ed25519-dalek at a different version and feature set, which only collided once the whole tree was assembled; cargo rejects duplicate keys outright. Reconciled to one entry with the union. Worth noting as the failure mode of resolving conflicts hunk by hunk: each resolution was right in isolation and the tree was still wrong.

State

  • 259 tests pass (177 from main, 82 from these crates)
  • Passes every gate main's CI enforces: fmt, clippy with -D warnings on core and runtime, and a warning-free workspace build

For review

The refinery calls OpenRouter, so its behaviour depends on a live model and is not covered by the suite in the way the protocol layers now are. Given main just learned — the hard way, via mutation testing — that hand-verified behaviour tends not to be encoded, that is the part I would look at first.

Signed organizational world models: expert roster with type-enforced
separation of powers, CDM with dual-anchor provenance, grounded-citation
candidates, type-state ratification lifecycle, Meridian benchmark types.
28 tests, clippy clean.
Deterministic format detection (magic bytes, header-block structure, text
fallback). Markdown adapter anchors every line with its heading path;
.eml adapter harvests headers as native provenance (From/Date/Subject/
X-Department) and anchors body lines to message-id coordinates. Grounded
citations round-trip through both adapters. 41 tests.
PDF: pdf-extract per-page text to page-anchored CDM spans; textless
PDFs are loudly Malformed (OCR is future work); deterministic lopdf
renderer (rayon off, no Info dict) keeps DocIds stable across runs.

Meridian Mutual: gold graph authored first (11 edges), documents
rendered from it - 5 markdown, 3 .eml, 1 two-page PDF - with an
8-defect manifest (term collision, cross-dept contradiction,
cross-format supersession, divergent duplicate, email-only rule,
negative space, vendor attachment, boilerplate trap) and an evidence
table binding gold edges to artifact quotes. Tests prove: every
artifact ingests through the Registrar, every evidence quote grounds
a citation, the divergent duplicate actually diverges, negative space
is truly absent, rendering is byte-deterministic. 53 tests.
…Phase 3)

Oracle abstraction (OpenRouter prod, scripted test doubles), corpus
packet builder, 4 extractor lenses on Kimi K3, confabulation firewall
(verbatim quote -> Citation::grounded or attributed rejection),
Grounding Auditor cross-family entailment verdicts, Contradiction
Sentinel (deterministic supersession/uniqueness resolution + semantic
pair scan), staged changeset with lanes + Meridian scorecard.
cargo run -p smesh-refinery = live benchmark run. 15 tests.
The human merge authority, made real:
- StagedRun handoff format (smesh-world): candidates + reviewer-ready
  evidence views (quote, native anchor, context); refinery writes
  refinery-staged.json after each run
- Ed25519 reviewer identity: persistent keypair, ratification record
  signed over base_rev + reviewer + full decision map, offline
  verification (tamper/wrong-rev tests)
- Session state: crash-safe decision ledger, total-coverage gate,
  green-lane batch approval, ratify -> kernel type-state path ->
  SignedChangeset written to disk; AlreadySigned is terminal
- Axum bench UI (impeccable, Zuub navy/teal, institutional-ledger
  aesthetic): Red/Amber/Green attention lanes, per-claim evidence
  drill-in with highlighted verbatim quote + native anchor + verdict
  rationales, amend/reject/defer flows, confabulation-firewall
  transparency panel, signing ceremony with revision receipt;
  hand-drawn SVG icon sprite, Familjen Grotesk / Atkinson
  Hyperlegible / Red Hat Mono
- --demo mode: offline Meridian session (all lanes populated);
  full flow verified in-browser: 8 decisions -> signed revision,
  8 staged - 1 rejected - 1 deferred = 6 edges in the revision

Workspace: 197 tests, 0 failures, clippy clean on world/refinery/ratify.
Sentinel semantic listing now carries each candidate verbatim quote -
two edges can share a bland name ("PTO accrual") while their quoted
substance conflicts; the first live run missed the boilerplate trap
this way. Scorecard now matches on kind classes (GovernedBy/Requires/
Triggers assert the same fact class), alias-aware subjects (HR = Human
Resources), canonicalized text, and object containment - exact-key
equality was scoring naming disagreement as both FP and FN. Candidate
dedup is canonicalization-aware (case/punctuation variants merge).
Both sides of the rebase declared it: main for signing attestations, with
serde and pkcs8; this branch for its own use, at a 2.2 floor. One entry with
the union of both satisfies each, and cargo rejects the duplicate outright.

Ratification bench

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ratification session and signed revision
smesh-ratify/**
Adds demo staged data, persistent Ed25519 reviewer keys, decision and revision persistence, Axum endpoints, browser workflows, and signing tests.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 09b93

This PR adds signed organization-world ingestion, verification, and ratification, but the current head still has paths that can expose signing key material, accept incorrectly grounded or altered evidence, and crash or poison review flows on valid inputs. Merge should be blocked until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Re-rendering the whole page on row toggle defeats the expand transition.

Line 442 calls render() to open or close a row. render() rebuilds #lanes with innerHTML at Line 386, so every .row-detail element is replaced. The browser sees a new element that already has grid-template-rows:1fr, so the transition declared at Line 149 never runs. The row snaps open.

The full rebuild also discards focus. A keyboard user who activates a row with Enter loses the focus position.

Toggle the class on the existing node instead.

♻️ Proposed fix
-    const toggle = () => { open.has(key) ? open.delete(key) : open.add(key); render(); };
+    const toggle = () => {
+      const row = line.parentElement;
+      if (open.has(key)) { open.delete(key); } else { open.add(key); }
+      row.classList.toggle("open", open.has(key));
+      line.setAttribute("aria-expanded", String(open.has(key)));

12-14: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Consider self-hosting the fonts.

Lines 12-14 load three font families from Google Fonts. The bench is an operator tool that handles a signing key. Every page load reveals the operator's IP address to a third party, and the page loses its typography on an air-gapped host. The CSS already declares sans-serif and monospace fallbacks at Lines 38-40, so the page degrades safely. Self-hosting the font files under assets/ removes the external request.

unescape is deprecated. The Base64 cleanup is lossy: distinct keys can produce the same detailId, breaking aria-controls. Use collision-free UTF-8 encoding.

Consider a feature gate for the PDF intake stack.

smesh-world holds pure domain types (role, ontology, candidate, delta) and Tier 0 intake in one crate. smesh-ratify depends on smesh-world for the domain types only, but it still compiles lopdf and pdf-extract.

Write the ledger and the revision atomically.

The module doc comment states that a crash must never cost the reviewer their work. std::fs::write truncates the target first. If the process stops between the truncate and the final byte, the file is left partially written, and Session::open then fails to deserialize it.

Write to a temporary file in the same directory, then std::fs::rename over the target. Apply this to both Line 145 and persist_decisions.

Inline comments:
In `@smesh-ratify/.gitignore`:
- Around line 1-2: Update the workspace root .gitignore, not the crate-local
ignore file, to include the existing reviewer key artifact patterns
demo-session.* and .ratify/ alongside the refinery artifact rule.

In `@smesh-ratify/assets/index.html`:
- Line 316: Update the replacement logic around the marked evidence rendering to
pass the replacement through a function rather than a string, preventing
String.replace from interpreting dollar-sign sequences as replacement patterns.
Preserve the existing highlighted output and fallback behavior for queries not
found in ctx.
- Around line 122-128: Add visible :focus-visible styles for the
keyboard-operable .row-line, .actions button, button.sign, and button.batch
controls, reusing the existing design tokens and ensuring the style remains
visible despite transparent button borders. Preserve the current hover and
interaction behavior while making focused controls clearly distinguishable for
keyboard users.
- Around line 299-302: Update load() to catch fetch or JSON parsing failures
from /api/state and display the error using the existing error-reporting
treatment from decide(). In the batch approval flow around the
/api/approve-green response, handle non-ok responses by showing the response
error instead of calling load() as though approval succeeded; preserve the
successful reload path.

In `@smesh-ratify/src/demo.rs`:
- Around line 54-63: Introduce a public, documented configurable-radius
context_window helper beside CdmDocument in smesh-world that clamps the citation
window to valid UTF-8 character boundaries. Update smesh-ratify/src/demo.rs
lines 54-63 and smesh-refinery/src/run.rs lines 54-61 to call the helper instead
of manual slicing, and update smesh-refinery/src/verify.rs lines 34-44 to
define/use the shared helper; all three sites must use the centralized safe
implementation.

Apply the same fix in `@smesh-refinery/src/run.rs` around lines 54 - 61: This is
the same duplication and remediation covered by the consolidated comment.

In `@smesh-ratify/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 19-32: Update ratify_status to log the detailed RatifyError with
tracing, then return a generic client-facing error message instead of
err.to_string(), preventing filesystem paths from RatifyError::Io and
RatifyError::Key from reaching the browser.

In `@smesh-ratify/src/signer.rs`:
- Around line 27-33: Update the key-generation flow around SigningKey::generate
and std::fs::write to create the key file exclusively with mode 0600 from the
outset, avoiding any world-readable interval before permission tightening;
preserve the existing key bytes and Unix behavior, and ensure concurrent
creation cannot overwrite an existing key by using exclusive creation semantics
rather than a separate path.exists check.

In `@smesh-ratify/src/state.rs`:
- Around line 38-45: Update the decisions and signed-state reads in the
surrounding state-loading function to treat only ErrorKind::NotFound as missing,
returning the existing empty defaults in that case; propagate all other I/O
errors instead of silently discarding persisted state. Preserve the current
serde deserialization behavior and the existing decisions_path and revision_path
defaults.

In `@smesh-ratify/src/web.rs`:
- Around line 97-98: Replace the direct session mutex `.expect("session lock")`
calls in all web handlers with a shared `session_guard` helper that recovers the
guard via `PoisonError::into_inner`, including `api_state` and `candidate_view`,
so poisoned session state remains readable instead of panicking subsequent
requests.

In `@smesh-refinery/src/extract.rs`:
- Around line 58-73: The run_extractors loop must tolerate malformed extractor
responses instead of propagating serde_json parse errors and aborting subsequent
roles. Update the emissions parsing/error handling to record the failure using
the existing RejectedEmission-style or per-role error mechanism, then continue
processing the remaining roles while preserving already grounded emissions.
- Around line 105-116: Validate emission.quote before the find call in the
citation-building flow: reject empty or whitespace-only quotes via the existing
reject path, and enforce the 200-character EMISSION_CONTRACT limit if not
already validated. Keep non-empty, in-range quotes using the existing
named.doc.canonical_text lookup and Citation::grounded flow.

In `@smesh-refinery/src/verify.rs`:
- Around line 187-204: The pair-processing loop must deduplicate conflicts
before incrementing conflicts. Track normalized candidate-index pairs in a
BTreeSet<(usize, usize)>, including pairs already counted by the deterministic
same-subject pass, and increment conflicts only when insertion succeeds;
preserve the existing refutations behavior.
- Around line 55-63: Update the provenance verification block to handle empty
citations without indexing or panicking, using the existing skip-or-reject
behavior appropriate for invalid candidates. Iterate over every citation in
ProvenanceClass::CorpusDerived rather than only the first, resolving each
citation’s document and calling verify_against so merged citations are all
audited.

In `@smesh-world/src/candidate.rs`:
- Around line 117-120: Update Candidate::key to produce an unambiguous identity
when subject or object contains the separator, using separator escaping or
length-prefixed field encoding while preserving distinct kind values. Keep the
resulting key stable for Changeset::ratify and the ratification decision ledger.

In `@smesh-world/src/corpus.rs`:
- Around line 191-232: Update the confabulated calculation in the metrics
construction to count rejected or unverifiable refinery emissions, rather than
relying only on empty citations that CandidateEdge::emit already rejects and
ground never produces. Reuse the existing emission outcome or rejection signal
from CandidateEdge::emit/ground, and keep passes_gate enforcing zero
confabulated results.

In `@smesh-world/src/delta.rs`:
- Around line 188-203: Update the Changeset<Ratified> flow so ratify stores the
RatificationRecord that validated the edges inside the changeset, then change
Changeset<Ratified>::sign to take only self and use that stored record. Ensure
the stored record is the one used for ratification and signing, preventing
callers from supplying an unrelated record while preserving the existing new_rev
derivation.

In `@smesh-world/src/intake/eml.rs`:
- Around line 13-27: Update ingest to validate Content-Type and
Content-Transfer-Encoding before assigning canonical, accepting only supported
single-part text bodies and rejecting multipart, base64, or quoted-printable
content with WorldError::Malformed. Add a matching test in the existing tests
module covering rejection of encoded or multipart bodies.

In `@smesh-world/src/intake/markdown.rs`:
- Line 59: Update parse_heading’s closing-sequence handling so trailing #
characters are removed only when preceded by whitespace; preserve hashes
attached to heading text such as “C#”, while continuing to trim spaced closing
hashes such as “Trailing ##”.

Nitpick comments:
In `@smesh-ratify/assets/index.html`:
- Around line 440-445: Update the row toggle handler in the .row-line event
setup to modify the existing row-detail element’s expanded/collapsed class and
state directly instead of calling render(). Preserve the open set bookkeeping,
transition behavior, and keyboard activation while keeping focus on the
activated row.
- Around line 12-14: Replace the external Google Fonts preconnect and stylesheet
links with locally hosted font files under assets/, preserving the Familjen
Grotesk, Atkinson Hyperlegible, and Red Hat Mono families and their declared
weights/styles so the existing typography remains available without third-party
requests.
- Line 328: Update the detailId generation near the key encoding to remove
deprecated unescape usage and use collision-free UTF-8 encoding for c.key.
Preserve a one-to-one mapping between distinct keys and generated IDs so
aria-controls remains unique, while retaining the existing d- prefix.

In `@smesh-ratify/src/signer.rs`:
- Around line 45-56: Update ratification_message to serialize a dedicated typed
payload struct deriving Serialize instead of constructing the payload with
serde_json::json!. Preserve the existing field names and values—base_rev,
reviewer, and decisions—and continue returning the serialized bytes.

In `@smesh-ratify/src/state.rs`:
- Around line 145-156: Update the persistence logic in the revision-writing flow
and persist_decisions to write serialized data to temporary files in the same
directories, then atomically replace the target files with std::fs::rename.
Ensure both revision_path and decisions_path use this pattern and preserve the
existing error propagation.

In `@smesh-refinery/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 18-21: Replace the specified eprintln! diagnostics and startup
notice in smesh-refinery/src/main.rs (lines 21, 38, 39, and 49) with appropriate
tracing::error! or tracing::info! events, preserving print! at line 31 for the
rendered report; make the same logging replacements in smesh-ratify/src/main.rs
(lines 33, 48-50, 56, 72, 84, and 95). Use the existing tracing subscriber
initialized by main in both binaries.

In `@smesh-refinery/src/packet.rs`:
- Around line 26-48: Update prompt_block to append formatted document metadata
directly to the out buffer using std::fmt::Write and write!, replacing each
push_str(&format!(...)) call while preserving the existing output.

In `@smesh-refinery/src/roster.rs`:
- Around line 31-62: Update the public extractor_system function to avoid
panicking for non-extractor WorldRole values such as Registrar,
GroundingAuditor, ContradictionSentinel, Ontologist, and Curator: change its
return contract to Option<String>, return Some for Lexicon, Policy, Structure,
and Process, and return None instead of using unreachable for other roles.
Update callers of extractor_system to handle the optional result while
preserving the existing extractor behavior.

In `@smesh-world/Cargo.toml`:
- Around line 15-16: Make the PDF dependencies in smesh-world optional under a
pdf feature, and define that feature to enable both dependencies. In
smesh-world/src/intake/mod.rs, gate the pdf and pdf_render modules with
cfg(feature = "pdf"), leaving non-PDF intake and domain modules available by
default.

In `@smesh-world/src/delta.rs`:
- Around line 76-77: Remove the unused Signed marker type and its public
re-export, and clean up any associated imports or references. Preserve
Changeset<Ratified>::sign returning SignedChangeset, since it is a separate
type.

In `@smesh-world/src/intake/mod.rs`:
- Around line 31-49: The sniffing and ingest flow must not leave
SourceFormat::Yaml or SourceFormat::Csv as unreachable variants that silently
fall through to Markdown. Update SourceFormat::sniff and ingest so YAML and CSV
are structurally recognized and routed to their explicit unsupported-format
result, or remove those variants and associated expectations until support
exists; preserve Markdown detection for other plain text.

In `@smesh-world/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 34-35: Document all listed public items with clear /// comments
and enable missing-documentation enforcement as appropriate. In
smesh-world/src/lib.rs:34-35 document WorldError; in
smesh-world/src/role.rs:9-27 document Tier, Capability, EXTRACTION_MODEL,

Report failures from /api/state and /api/approve-green.

Two paths swallow errors:

  • Line 300: if the request fails or the body is not JSON, load() rejects. The promise is never caught. The page stays empty and the user receives no message.
  • Line 471-475: if res.ok is false, the code skips the toast and still calls load(). A failed batch approval looks like a successful one that changed nothing.

decide() at Line 435 already shows the error text. Apply the same treatment.

🛡️ Proposed fix
 async function load(){
-  STATE = await (await fetch("/api/state")).json();
-  render();
+  try {
+    const res = await fetch("/api/state");
+    if(!res.ok) throw new Error(await res.text());
+    STATE = await res.json();
+    render();
+  } catch (err) {
+    toast(`Could not load the changeset: ${err.message}`);
+  }
 }
   if(batch) batch.onclick = async () => {
     const res = await fetch("/api/approve-green", {method:"POST"});
-    if(res.ok){ const j = await res.json(); toast(`${j.approved} green candidates approved`); }
+    if(!res.ok){ toast(await res.text()); return; }
+    const j = await res.json();
+    toast(`${j.approved} green candidates approved`);
     await load();
   };

load() is called at Line 486 without a .catch, so the try/catch also removes the unhandled rejection.

Share the citation context-window helper and preserve character boundaries. The demo implementation slices canonical_text using byte offsets without walking to UTF-8 boundaries, so a non-ASCII citation can panic. The refinery implementations duplicate the same logic. Move one documented helper beside the document model, use it from all three call sites, and add a regression test for non-ASCII text.

Six findings, all in the part of this design whose value is that it can be
verified.

**A ratification could be moved to a changeset it never approved.** The
reviewer's signature covers the base revision, their identity and the
decision map — not the edges. The type-state stops an unratified changeset
being signed, but nothing stopped swapping records between two ratified ones
with the same base. The result verified, having been approved by nobody,
which is the single thing this design promises cannot happen. `sign` now
refuses a record that does not correspond exactly to the edges in hand. The
decision map is signed, so requiring that correspondence binds the signature
to the edge set without changing what is signed.

The existing test was called `signing_commits_to_base_edges_and_ratification`
and only checked that changing the signature changed the revision hash. It
was named for a property it did not enforce. There is now a test that
performs the swap and expects refusal.

**The curator's signing key was briefly world-readable.** It was written
with `fs::write`, which uses the process umask, and chmod'd afterwards. A key
that was momentarily readable is a key that may already be gone, and this one
authorises every ratification. It is created private now, and a key file
others can read is refused rather than loaded.

**An empty quote passed the confabulation firewall.** `text.find("")` returns
`Some(0)` for every document, so an empty quote satisfied "appears verbatim"
and produced a citation pointing at nothing — precisely the claim-without-
evidence the firewall exists to catch. Empty and trivially short quotes are
rejected; below a few characters a match says more about the document than
about the claim.

**A permissions error looked like a clean slate.** Loading decisions and the
signed revision treated every I/O error as "nothing recorded yet", so an
unreadable file became an empty one and the next ratification would overwrite
signed state that was still there. Only `NotFound` means absent now.

**`citations[0]` panicked** on a candidate that arrived with none. The
producer is a language model, so "cannot happen" was a claim about a model's
output rather than about this code.

**One malformed response aborted the whole run**, discarding every other
expert's work. A model returning unparseable JSON is ordinary. It is recorded
as that expert failing — in its own field, since there is no emission to
attribute and inventing one would put words in the model's mouth — and the
run continues.

143-162: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the trimmed quote for the lookup and the span.

Line 143 trims the quote, and Line 144 measures the trimmed value. Line 155 and Line 162 then use the untrimmed emission.quote. A model that pads its quote with leading or trailing whitespace passes the length floor, then fails find, and the emission is rejected with the reason "quote not found verbatim in document". The rejection reason is wrong, and a groundable claim is dropped.

🛠️ Proposed fix
-    let Some(start) = named.doc.canonical_text.find(&emission.quote) else {
+    let Some(start) = named.doc.canonical_text.find(quote) else {
         return reject(
             "quote not found verbatim in document".into(),
             outcome,
             emission,
         );
     };
-    let span = CdmSpan::new(start, start + emission.quote.len());
+    let span = CdmSpan::new(start, start + quote.len());

quote borrows emission, so move the let quote = emission.quote.trim().to_owned(); binding, or restructure the borrow, before the reject calls that consume emission.

203-212: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The extra-key check rejects every changeset that contains a Reject, Defer, or Edit decision.

ratify drops rejected and deferred edges from edges, and replaces an edited edge with amended. The decision map still holds a key for every originally staged edge. So after ratify:

  • A Reject or Defer decision leaves its key in decided but not in edge_keys. Line 210 then returns ForeignRatification.
  • An Edit decision puts amended.key() into edge_keys and the original key into decided. Line 207 returns UnreviewedCandidate, and line 210 would return ForeignRatification.

The test at Lines 319-346 builds exactly this state and never signs it, so the suite does not catch it. smesh-ratify/src/state.rs::ratify_and_sign (Lines 145-149) passes the full session decision map, so any review session that rejects or defers one candidate cannot produce a signed revision.

Bind the record to the changeset at ratify time instead of validating set equality here. ratify already knows the staged edge set, and it is the only path that can construct Changeset<Ratified>. That closes the record-swap hole without depending on retained edge keys.

🛠️ Sketch
 pub struct Changeset<State> {
     pub base_rev: String,
     pub edges: Vec<CandidateEdge>,
+    ratification: Option<RatificationRecord>,
     state: std::marker::PhantomData<State>,

Add a signing test with mixed decisions.

Every signing test uses only Approve on a single edge. Add a test that stages three edges, then approves one, rejects one, and defers one, then signs. That case is the one that fails under the current sign validation (see the comment on Lines 203-212).

Consider skipping the candidate instead of aborting the audit.

The panic is fixed. The new behavior returns Err and ends the whole audit, so every later candidate loses its verdict. run_extractors in smesh-refinery/src/extract.rs now takes the opposite approach and records a failure per expert, then continues. Align the two paths: skip the citation-less candidate, or record it as unverified, then continue the loop.

Write the ledger and the revision atomically.

persist_decisions and Line 151 both call std::fs::write directly on the target path. fs::write truncates first. If the process stops during the write, the reviewer's decision ledger or the signed revision is left truncated, and the next Session::open fails to deserialize it. The PR states crash-safe state as a goal. Write to a temporary file in the same directory, then std::fs::rename onto the target.

Comment thread smesh-refinery/src/extract.rs
Follow-through gap in the previous commit. `ExpertFailure` was added so a
model returning unusable output would not vanish, and then `refine` dropped
the vector on the way to the run report — recorded and lost one level up,
which is the same silence in a different place.

Failures now reach `RunReport` and are printed as their own line, not folded
in with rejected emissions. The distinction matters: a rejected emission is a
judgement the firewall made, whereas a failed expert made no judgement at
all. A run that looks clean because half the roster failed silently is a
worse outcome than one that looks bad, and without this the two are
indistinguishable.

Three bugs that all end the same way: a human approves a claim while
looking at something the document never said.

**Evidence quotes were corrupted by `String.replace`.** The replacement
string expands `$&`, ``$` ``, `$'` and `$1`, so any quote containing a dollar
sign rendered as something else entirely. This is the text a reviewer reads
immediately before deciding, which makes it the one string in the system that
must be reproduced exactly. Spliced by index now, marking the first
occurrence only.

**Headings ending in a hash lost it.** `trim_end_matches('#')` removed
trailing hashes unconditionally, so "## Sprint #" became "Sprint" and
"### C#" became "C". CommonMark only treats a *closing sequence* as
decoration, and requires a space before it; anything else is part of the
heading. An anchor naming the wrong section is a citation pointing somewhere
the reader cannot check.

**Encoded and multipart email bodies were stored verbatim.** A
quoted-printable body cited directly quotes the transfer encoding, showing
"=E2=80=99" where an apostrophe belongs; a multipart body buries the prose
among MIME boundaries. Both are now refused with a reason. Decoding them is a
real adapter feature rather than a line of code, and until it exists refusing
the format is honest where storing a mangled reading of it is not.

Eight, none in the signed path, but several with consequences worth naming.

**Candidate keys could collide across the separator.** `subject|kind|object`
made `("a|b", X, "c")` and `("a", X, "b|c")` identical. That key decides which
ratification decision applies to which edge, so a collision is two different
claims sharing one human approval. Length-prefixed now, with a test.

**Contradictions were counted once per conflicting partner** rather than once
per pair, so a single disputed claim inflated both the conflict total and the
detection rate derived from it. Now counted per pair — and the first attempt
at this nested the guard inside itself, which suppressed the count entirely
and was caught by two existing tests doing their job.

**A poisoned mutex took the whole server down.** One panicking handler made
every later request fail. The session is plain data with no invariant a panic
could leave half-applied, so recovering keeps a reviewer's in-progress work
reachable.

**Two copies of the context window, correct in one of them.** The refinery
clipped to character boundaries; the demo sliced by byte offset and would
panic on any multi-byte character in a document. One copy now, in the crate
both already depend on.

**The UI failed silently.** A failed `/api/state` left the previous render on
screen, so a reviewer could go on approving against state the server had
moved past; a failed bulk approval looked identical to a deliberate no-op.
Both say so now. Bulk approval is exactly the action a reviewer must not be
wrong about having taken.

**No visible focus ring.** Ratification is a keyboard-driven review, and a
control you cannot see yourself on is one you can approve by accident.

Reviewer keys and session files are ignored at the repository root rather
than only inside the crate.
