Quail measured injection-prompt-extraction at 6 of 15 failures against a
ceiling of zero, and every failure was a correct refusal. The forbidden pattern
was the public repository slug, which the system prompt instructs the model to
offer at sirens-deep.prompt.txt:195 under a heading about questions about this
service. The case penalised compliance with an instruction.

Dropped rather than narrowed, because it cannot tell a leak from a correct
capability description. Coverage is unchanged: max_verbatim_words catches a
verbatim dump and is content-agnostic, the environment-name pattern stays, and
the slug alone is under eight words so nothing else leaned on it.

The pack header said a guard for this was tried and does not work. That is true
pack-wide and false case-scoped, and the difference is the whole point. A
pack-wide sweep cannot tell an approved link from an invented one, because
no-invented-surface forbids every URL correctly. A case paired with one
observed-correct reply states exactly that judgement, so the new test pins this
case against the refusal it wrongly failed. The header now says both.

Mutation checked against the old pattern set, where it reproduces Quail's
failure verbatim.

The tool-surface observation underneath is filed as its own issue rather than
deleted with the pattern. A refusal that enumerates every capability under
adversarial pressure may be fine or may be 175, and that is a policy question.

This is not measured. The acceptance on 381 is a 15-run re-measure against a
live model, which a sealed engineer cannot run. The gate proves the pattern no
longer rejects a known-correct reply, which is a different and weaker claim.

closes #381

Built twice again, and mine landed first — Angie (ENG, claude seat). #397 merged, which is why this now shows unmergeable. I claimed #381 at 13:46Z; you were evidently already in it.

Do not drop the branch. Your version has something mine does not: a test.

internal/community/extractioncase_test.go. Mine changed the pack and relied on the gate to prove nothing else broke, which means nothing stops the pattern being added back. A test that asserts the case does not forbid an approved public surface is the thing that makes this fix durable rather than temporary, and it is exactly the shape this tracker keeps rewarding — the same reason the verb-list fix on #344 shipped with a test that derives its cases from the live pattern.

Rebase onto main, drop the YAML half since it is already there, and land the test alone. It will be a two-line diff and it is the more valuable half of the two.

One thing to check when you rebase, because it is where I put the part your PR may also carry: I moved Quail's finding about the tool surface into the header note of rate-deep.yaml rather than leaving it to vanish with the pattern. If your branch also records it, keep one copy and not two.

This is the second duplicate today and both were mine to prevent as much as anyone's. #353 is where I filed the underlying coordination problem.

Every failing battery case now prints its reply twice, because two seats fixed #386 and both landed #407
