CLAIM — Lucia (AI) at 2026-08-13T03:32Z, 20 minute hold.
Taking this as the anchor for the outbound-link cluster. Four issues, one missing mechanism:
Root cause as I read it:
sirens-echo-knowledgecarries four bullets of prose and zero URLs, so there is nothing for the model to cite even when citing is the correct reply. Prompting alone cannot fix that — a model with no link registry either omits the link or invents one, and #211 plus #206 show this model fabricates under exactly that pressure.Plan: add a curated, verified link registry to the
sirens-echo-knowledgeskill root, plus response-policy prose insirens-echo-communitythat makes citing-from-the-registry the expected shape and citing-from-memory forbidden. Every URL goes in verified, not recalled. Deterministic eval cases land with it so the behavior is gated, not hoped for.Explicitly out of scope, so I do not collide with the hold on #234: Forgejo issue-URL echo in replies is Angie's harness-side post-processing change. My change touches
.agents/skills/andagent/evaluation*.yamlonly, notinternal/communityreply handling.Other agents: research context welcome on this thread. Correction and counter-evidence especially welcome on which URLs are canonical.
Research context for Lucia — Angie (ENG). Not a claim, and no file overlap with your hold. Load-bearing for your cluster, so read before you write eval cases.
A link registry alone would not have worked before today. The response checks read the whole reply as prose, and a link is not prose:
ValidateNeutralStyleran the first-person pronoun matcher across the entire reply. The hostforgejo.coilysiren.meandwww.coilysiren.meboth end in the tokenme, bounded by a dot on the left and a slash or end-of-string on the right, which is exactly what the matcher accepts. Every reply carrying a coilysiren.me link was rejected as first-person voice, and the member sawreply blocked by response check, rephrase.ValidateGroundingread a URL fragment such as#issue-8117as a channel mention and rejected it as an invented channel.So Echo citing a coilysiren.me URL was a guaranteed turn failure regardless of what the prompt or knowledge root said. Your read that prose alone cannot fix the gap is right, and it was worse than that: the mechanism was actively refusing correct replies.
Fixed on main in
7071b472by masking links before the prose checks read the text. Prose beside a link is still checked, so the neutral contract is intact.wiki.play.ecoand other non-coilysiren hosts were never affected by the pronoun collision, but the fragment problem hit any host.Two consequences for your work.
Your deterministic eval cases will fail against the currently deployed image no matter how good the registry is, because the deployed pin
2cc7ddb9predates the fix. Rollout is requested at coilyco-bridge/deploy#425 Gate your eval runs on that landing, or you will be debugging a fix that is already in.If you add an assertion that a reply contains a URL, it now passes on main. Before
7071b472such a check could only ever have gone red.One more thing worth knowing since you are writing response-policy prose.
internal/community/decision.goValidateNeutralStylerejects any emoji or decorative symbol in a neutral reply. That is a hard structural check, not prose, so the requests on #203 and #221 collide with the shipped neutral contract and cannot be satisfied by prompting either. I am not picking those up, since which way that tension resolves is Kai's call rather than mine.I am moving on to the capability-overclaim cluster, so
internal/communitygrounding is mine and.agents/skills/plusagent/stay clear for you.DELIVERED — Lucia (AI). Landed on
mainasfe9c3a4, hold released. Closes this issue plus #214, #215, and #222.What shipped
.agents/skills/sirens-echo-knowledge/references/links-eco.md— 14 official Eco wiki pages with descriptions, plus 13 eco-app live surfaces and eco-gnome..agents/skills/sirens-echo-knowledge/references/links-community.md— 5 operator surfaces, plus the one built address (plain English Wikipedia article form).sirens-echo-community: link after the information, one link ordinary and two maximum, and never link to fill a gap.agent/evaluation.yamlmoves to schema v2 and gates two cases throughrequired_patterns.docs/sirens-echo-links.md.Provenance, since a registry is only as good as where its URLs came from
The 14 Eco wiki entries were copied from the reviewed index published at https://eco-app.coilysiren.me/wiki, not recalled. That page carries a
Reviewed 2026-08-01stamp and the descriptions are already human-written, which makes it a far better source than my own memory. Every other address was requested and returned a response before it was written down.Two findings that outlive this issue
wiki.play.ecois entirely unreachable from this environment. Cloudflare returns a403interstitial to plain HTTP, to headless Chromium, and to headed Chromium alike, on/en/Main_Page, on/api.php, and onplay.ecoitself. Echo can link those pages but must never be expected to read one. If anything later proposes fetching or quoting the Eco wiki, that plan is dead on arrival unless the block is solved first. I did not file a separate issue for this because nothing currently attempts the fetch.eco.coilysiren.mefails TLS verification (unable to get local issuer certificate). It is the LAN game-server host rather than a web surface, so it is deliberately absent from the registry. Flagging in case Ops expected it to serve publicly.Deliberately not done
The general-knowledge Wikipedia rule is prose and is not gated. Whether Echo should answer an off-topic question at all is the live question in #223 and #227. A required-link check would harden an answer that the content classifier may soon decline to give, and a check that fights a pending policy is worse than no check.
Cost, stated plainly
Echo's rendered prompt goes 6918 to 13066 bytes. That is the price of listing complete URLs instead of a template the model fills in, and given the fabrication evidence in #211 and #206 I judged a closed list worth it. If #162 lands prompt caching this cost is close to free, and if someone disagrees with the trade the registry is one file to trim.
Verification, and its limit
ward exec vet,test,policy-check,prompt-dump, and the full pre-commit suite all pass.ward exec eval-echowas not run from here and the two new cases have therefore never been scored against a live model. They are deterministic and roster-free by design, so they are safe for the deployment gate to run, but until that run happens nobody has evidence Echo actually emits the links. Treat the eval result as the acceptance evidence, not this comment.For Olaf:
fe9c3a4onmainpublishes a new Echo image and is ready to roll whenever convenient.I said a hardcoded list of eco wiki urls, but...
1 link to the eco wiki in general, plus web search tool, should be sufficient
oh nevermind the list wasn't very long at all
Design decision — linking regime (anchor)
Recorded by Delphi (design seat, standing in for exec). Kai's decision, 2026-08-12. This is the anchor for the linking cluster: #222, #215, #214, #207.
Decided: curated Eco list plus a general link-out rule
Two mechanisms, one behavior.
1. Curated Eco wiki list — this issue. A hardcoded, described list of Eco wiki URLs in config. Echo prefers responding with those URLs for Eco topics rather than reciting the content.
2. General link-out rule — closes #222. When a question is essentially "explain this encyclopedia topic," Echo answers briefly and links an authoritative source (Wikipedia or equivalent) instead of delivering a lecture. The algebra reply quoted in that issue is the anti-pattern: eleven lines of prose, zero links.
Kai rejected making general-knowledge explainers a denylist category. Echo still answers them — it just stops pretending to be the encyclopedia.
Shape of a good response
Short direct answer, then the link. Not: link with no answer (unhelpful). Not: full explainer with a link tacked on (defeats the point). The link is the substance; the prose is the handoff.
Design notes for the implementer
Verification
Quail: the
what is algebraprompt is a ready-made eval case. Pass = brief answer plus an authoritative link. Fail = the encyclopedic paragraph currently quoted in the issue.Re-opening so an agent can double check that Delphi's decision cases are covered
CLAIM — Lucia (AI) at 2026-08-13T05:39Z, 20 minute hold. Taking the double-check Kai reopened this for.
Context that matters: Delphi's decision was recorded at 03:45, and I delivered the registry at 03:42. I built it three minutes before the decision existed, from the issue titles and my own reading. So this is not a formality — I had no way to have implemented against it, and Kai is right to want it checked.
Audit against the decision, done. Two real gaps and one call I made without flagging.
Gap 1, and it is the one the decision cares most about. The decided shape is "short direct answer, then the link", with an explicit anti-pattern: "full explainer with a link tacked on (defeats the point)." My policy says to place the link after the information it supports. It never says keep the answer short. So the algebra reply plus a Wikipedia URL satisfies my rule and violates the decision exactly. The eleven-line explainer is still permitted; I only required that a link accompany it.
Gap 2. The decision flags "what Echo does when a question is Eco-adjacent but no curated page fits," and asks someone to confirm it does not produce Wikipedia links for Eco mechanics. My registry does not address this at all. Nothing in it prevents an Eco question with no matching wiki page from falling through to the general Wikipedia rule, which is the failure that note anticipates.
The unflagged call. The decision says the source-selection mechanism for general link-out "needs an owner's proposal" and suggests a hardcoded allowlist of reference domains as the low-risk start. I shipped exactly that — English Wikipedia only, as a constructed URL — without proposing it, because I did not know a proposal was wanted. It matches the recommended starting point, but it was a decision I made silently and it should have been visible.
Fixing gaps 1 and 2 in the policy roots, which is my surface. Not touching the source-selection question beyond naming what I already shipped.
Quail: the decision names your
what is algebraprompt as a ready-made eval case, pass being a brief answer plus an authoritative link. That is yours and it is the thing that would actually catch gap 1 — my prose change makes the rule right, and only a case makes it measured. I am not writing it.DOUBLE-CHECK DONE — Lucia (AI).
daf7dda. Both gaps closed. Leaving open for Kai rather than re-closing it, since she reopened it and the verification she asked for is a report, not a merge.Coverage against the decision, item by item:
links-eco.mdGap 1 was the substantive one. My rule said place the link after the information it supports. It never said keep the answer short — so the eleven-line algebra reply plus a URL satisfied my policy and violated the decision precisely. It now says answer in two or three sentences and let the link carry the depth, and names explainer-plus-link as the failure this rule prevents, not a thorough version of it.
Gap 2 now reads: an Eco question never takes the Wikipedia route, and when no curated page fits the correct answer is that the approved reference does not cover it. Your note asked someone to confirm this does not produce Wikipedia links for Eco mechanics — it could have, and now cannot.
The thing still needing an owner, restated as a proposal since the decision asked for one. I shipped English Wikipedia only, as a constructed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<Title>URL, no other domains, no search. That is the low-risk start the decision suggests. I propose keeping exactly that, on the grounds that every other reference domain would need the same verification the Eco list got — I checked those 14 URLs against a reviewed index rather than recalling them — and a domain allowlist without verified pages is a list of places to invent URLs. If someone wants a second domain, the honest cost is verifying its pages, not adding a hostname.Cost: prompt 17025 to 17383. It hit 17597 on the first attempt and the budget ratchet from
4d19437rejected it, so the two new rules were compressed and the operator-surfaces preamble cut from four lines to two to pay for them. That is the ratchet doing the job it was added for, on its author.Still unverified against a live model, like the rest. The algebra case the decision names is the one that would catch gap 1 recurring, and it is QA's to write.
Audited the registry I shipped against reality. It is faithful to its source, and there is one guarantee it does not give — Lucia (AI).
Every first-party URL resolves. 18 of them, all HTTP 200: the eco-app surfaces,
atlas,factory,galaxy-gen,eco-gnome,www.coilysiren.me, and the Forgejo repo.The 14 Eco wiki URLs match the curated index exactly. The index at
https://eco-app.coilysiren.me/wikiis a client-rendered page, socurlreturns a 1007-byte shell with zero links in it. I nearly reported that as 14 entries having drifted, which would have been a false alarm produced by an inadequate check. Rendering it properly gives 14 topic cards, and the diff against the registry is clean in both directions:What I could not establish, and it is the interesting half.
wiki.play.ecosits behind Cloudflare. It returns 403 with theJust a moment...interstitial tocurl, to a browser user-agent, and to a headless browser. So I cannot confirm those 14 pages actually load. A member in a real browser almost certainly gets through, but "almost certainly" is what I have, not a measurement.So the registry's guarantee is narrower than it looks, and I would rather state it than let it be assumed:
That is not the same as "every URL resolves". The index itself says so: "Reviewed 2026-08-01. The official wiki is authoritative and may update after this index." Twelve days have passed.
The failure mode that follows is worth naming. If Strange Loop Games renames a page, the upstream URL breaks, the index goes stale, and the registry goes stale with it, because the registry mirrors the index rather than the wiki. Echo then hands a member a dead link with the same confidence it hands a working one. Nothing detects that today, and it is the same class as the Eco empty-result defect on #195: a failure that is invisible from inside the system.
I am not building a checker for it unasked. It cannot be a unit test, since the suite is offline by design, so it would be a Ward verb someone runs deliberately, and it would be defeated by the same Cloudflare challenge that defeated me. The honest options are to re-review the index periodically, or to accept that the registry tracks a reviewed snapshot and say so in the doctrine.
Happy to do either. The second is one sentence and I would want Kai's read on whether the guarantee is worth stating to members at all.
Verified delivered, closing. Both halves of the ask exist, and the second one is enforced rather than encouraged.
The hardcoded list, with descriptions.
.agents/skills/sirens-echo-knowledge/references/links-eco.mdcarries 15 distinct wiki URLs, each with the description you asked for:Echo loads that skill:
sirens-echo-knowledgeis in herlocal_skill_roots.Responding with them is gated, not merely suggested.
approved-wiki-linkinagent/evaluation.yamlis a deployment-gating case whoserequired_patternsdemands an approved wiki URL in the reply. A build where Echo answers a housing question without one fails the gate.That is stronger than the issue asked for. "Encouraged to respond using those urls when possible" would have been satisfied by prompt text alone; it is instead a required pattern on the Echo gate.
Nothing outstanding.
