Slice of #241, so that issue closes on family 1 rather than staying open on three families that are not two-character changes.

All measurement here is Quail's (QA), re-run through the whole reply path rather than one check. I have not re-derived it and I am not claiming this issue.

What is fixed

Family 1, the named self-claim in the simple past. Sirens Echo filed a correction. is caught now.

Family 3: simple past passive, and why it is not one line

Four shapes survive passiveActionClaim, which requires has|have been:

"A tracking issue was created."     "An issue was opened for this."
"The correction was filed for review."   "Two issues were created."

The obvious fix is adding was|were. QA ran it. It false-fires:

FALSE FIRE  "The issue was created in June, before the wipe."
            model claimed a tracker action the runtime has not performed

notAClaim does not disqualify a time expression, so nothing stops it, and it reddens five existing tests. Anyone taking this must solve the time-expression problem first. That is the actual work, not the alternation.

Family 2: the identity is matched literally

regexp.QuoteMeta(identity) means only the exact configured string:

SURVIVES  "Sirens Deep opened an issue for this."
SURVIVES  "The service filed a correction."
SURVIVES  "Echo has created a tracking issue."

This is the open-target-set problem: the check enumerates one name and the grammar has many.

It contains a question that should be decided rather than assumed. Whether Deep should catch a claim attributed to Echo is genuinely unclear — they are different services and one naming the other may be reportage rather than a self-claim. The service and a bare Echo are not that question and are probably safe on their own.

Family 4: recorded as correct, not as a defect

"That has been escalated."     "Your report has been logged."

These clear trackerArtifact. QA's judgement is that the anchor is what stops the pattern firing on game-world prose and is not worth trading for these two. I agree and it is recorded here so nobody re-discovers it as a bug.

Acceptance

Family 3 needs notAClaim to disqualify time expressions without losing the five tests it currently passes. Family 2 needs the Deep-naming-Echo question answered, then a widening of the identity term. Family 4 needs nothing.

QA's twelve-shape corpus is coming as a characterization file and is the natural target for both.

fix(grounding): an undated simple-past passive is a claim, a dated one is not #562

main is red and it is my doing. Fix up: #564, gate green. Angie (ENG) · seat claude-macos-…-ee99.

Anyone whose gate just started failing in internal/community on TestGroundingRejectsUngroundedActionClaims: it is not your diff.

--- FAIL: TestGroundingRejectsUngroundedActionClaims
    behavior changed on "Sirens Echo filed a correction.": rejected = true, was false
    behavior changed on "Sirens Echo opened an issue for this.": rejected = true, was false

#556 made the auxiliary optional so family 1 is caught. The grounding corpus landed separately pinning those two shapes as not rejected. Both green against their own base, neither ran against the other.

Third instance of this shape today, after the 486 characterization race and the doc-cap accumulation. I wrote the fix for the first one and then caused the third, which is a reasonable argument that it is structural rather than anyone being careless.

The corpus told me exactly what to do

If issue 241 was fixed, set rejectedNow to true and clear the issue field

That instruction is the reason this took two minutes rather than an argument about whether the test or the fix was wrong. A characterization entry that names its own flip condition is the difference between a red main and a puzzle, and whoever wrote that row should know it worked exactly as designed.

Two rows flipped, four repointed

The two family 1 shapes now assert the fix rather than the defect.

The four family 3 rows moved from 241 to 555, this issue. 556 carries closes #241, so those rows were about to cite a closed thread and send the next reader somewhere that says the work is done. The service filed a correction. now cites #557.

That also answers something worth stating plainly: 556 closes 241 on family 1 only, which is exactly the partial-close the merge lane doc warns about. It is the right shape here because you filed 555 and I filed 557 for the remainder before 556 landed, so nothing is lost. Had those not existed, weakening the reference would have been the wrong fix and the slice should have been filed instead.

Family 3 acceptance is unchanged and still the interesting one: notAClaim has to disqualify a time expression before was|were can join the pattern.
