feat(agent-interface): agentCandidateLineageSchema accepts an agent-authored candidate

[drewstone]

Closes #289.

The gap

agentCandidateLineageSchema.source is optimizer | human | import | compound. None of those describes a profile that one agent wrote for another from inside a run — a shipped capability: spawn_worker takes a full AgentProfile, and metadata.role: "driver" promotes that child to a sub-supervisor.

optimizer is the closest member and its own refinement closes it:

if (lineage.developmentSplitDigest === undefined) {
  ctx.addIssue({ path: ["developmentSplitDigest"], message: "generated candidates must pin their development split" })
}

A run-time author has no development split. There is no held-out set and no offline search — a supervising agent read its own evidence and wrote a profile. The only ways through were a fabricated digest or a human declaration, and both put a false statement into the evidence record.

The change

agent-author joins the enum. It keeps the two requirements that make a generated lineage checkable — at least one parent, and the run that produced it — and drops the development split, which now applies to optimizer and compound only.

Additive: every lineage that parsed before parses unchanged, and the two existing generated sources keep every rule they had.

Coverage

agent-candidate-lineage-schema.test.ts is new. The refinements in this file had no direct tests, so it pins all of them: the hand-written case with no ancestry, optimizer's three requirements, compound's two-distinct-parents rule, the duplicate-entry refusal, and the new member both ways — accepted without a development split, still refused without a parent and a run.

pnpm --filter @tangle-network/agent-interface test: 40 files, 518 tests, all passing. tsc --noEmit and tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json clean.

The consumer

discovery-lab keeps permanent, identifiable agents per problem area: an agent is <role>/<area>, its record is append-only, and successive versions link to their predecessor through diffAgentProfiles / applyAgentProfileDiff. The record already uses this schema's field names verbatim — parentDigests, runIds, profileDiffIds — and today reports the refusal on every one of its 68 version rows rather than faking a member that would pass. It pins the current refusal as a kill test, so when this merges that test goes red and the record starts parsing through the schema with no migration.

💰 Value — sound-with-nits

Adds an agent-author source to AgentCandidateLineage so a profile one agent writes for another inside a run (spawn_worker/driver promotion) is representable without fabricating a development-split digest; correct and additive, with one naming-consistency nit.

• What it does: Widens the AgentCandidateLineage.source enum from optimizer|human|import|compound to add agent-author (agent-candidate.ts:394, agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts:50-56). It groups agent-author with optimizer/compound for the parent + producing-run requirements (agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts:81-100) but drops the developmentSplitDigest requirement, which now applies only to `optimi
• Goals it achieves: Gives a shipped capability (a supervising agent authoring a child's full AgentProfile from inside a run) a truthful lineage source, instead of forcing producers to either fabricate a developmentSplitDigest or falsely declare human/optimizer in the immutable evidence record. Keeps agent-authored lineages checkable via the two requirements that survive without a held-out set: at least one pa
• Assessment: Sound on its merits. It is genuinely additive (every lineage that parsed before parses unchanged; existing generated sources keep every rule), the refinement split is exactly the right cut — parent/run are inherent to any generated lineage while the development split is specific to offline search — and the code comment cleanly documents why the field is optional for this member. The experiment-bas
• Better / existing approach: The mechanism (add an enum member + narrow one refinement) is right; no existing capability is duplicated. But the codebase already has a parallel source-kind enum for the same actors — AgentProfileDiff.source.kind (profile-diff.ts:94-100, profile-schema.ts:547-555) includes frontier-author, a documented case of an agent authoring a profile change from a session trace (profile-diff.test.ts:474

An additive, correctly-scoped widening of the lineage source enum so an agent-authored profile can be recorded truthfully instead of faking a human or optimizer declaration; the only gaps are that the two downstream experiment schemas were left gating on the old source set, leaving `agent-author

• Integration: Reachable. agentCandidateLineageSchema is imported and used by both agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:47 and agent-profile-improvement-schema.ts:222, so the new member flows through every path that admits a lineage. There is no in-repo producer emitting source: "agent-author" yet (the runtime spawn_worker tool is out-of-repo), but the motivating capability is real in-repo: `metadata.ro
• Fit with existing patterns: Fits the codebase grain: it extends the existing z.enum + superRefine structure in agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts rather than introducing a parallel mechanism, and the two experiment schemas already branch on source === "optimizer" || source === "compound", so the change is additive and every previously-parsing lineage parses unchanged.

🟠 agent-author duplicates the existing frontier-author source concept under a new name [against-grain] ``

Two parallel source-kind enums already overlap on human|optimizer|compound and now diverge on the agent-authored member: AgentProfileDiff.source.kind names it frontier-author (profile-diff.ts:97, profile-schema.ts:551, exercised at profile-diff.test.ts:474-498), while this PR mints agent-author in AgentCandidateLineage.source (agent-candidate.ts:394). They describe the same actor (a non-optimizer agent authoring a profile from inside a run, with a trace/session and no held-out split).

🟡 developmentSplitDigest doc comment is now slightly stale [maintenance] ``

agent-candidate.ts:399 still reads 'Exact development split used to produce a generated candidate', but agent-author is a generated candidate (it requires parent + run) that carries no development split. Adjust to note the field applies only to optimizer/compound, matching the new code comment in the schema.

🎯 Usefulness Audit

🟡 agent-author skips the 'parent must include baseline' invariant in both experiment schemas [integration] ``

agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:56 and agent-profile-improvement-schema.ts:245 gate the generated-lineage baseline-parent check on source === "optimizer" || source === "compound" and were not extended to agent-author. Result: an agent-author experiment passes even when parentDigests omits baseline.digest/baseline.stateDigest, disconnecting the candidate from the state it was measured against. This may be intended (agent-author's parent is its predecessor, not the baseline), b

🟡 agent-author overlaps the existing frontier-author authorship vocabulary [problem-fit] ``

AgentProfileDiff.source.kind already has a frontier-author member (profile-diff.ts:97-100, profile-schema.ts:549-555) for agent-authored diffs. The lineage enum now gets agent-author for a closely related concept. They are distinct enums for distinct documents, so there is no functional duplication, but two names for 'an agent wrote this' invites confusion. Recommend either naming the new member consistently with the existing term or documenting (as the added comment partially does) wh

🟠 MEDIUM agent-author bypasses the experiment baseline-binding invariant in both downstream experiment schemas — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts

agentCandidateExperimentSchema (agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:54-64) and agentProfileImprovementExperimentSchema (agent-profile-improvement-schema.ts:243-253) consume agentCandidateLineageSchema directly and enforce 'generated candidate lineage must include the experiment baseline' only when source is 'optimizer' or 'compound'. Adding 'agent-author' to the shared enum makes it a valid source in both experiment documents, where the parentDigests baseline check is skipped: an experiment can parse with source 'agent-author' and a parentDigest unrelated to baseline.digest/stateDigest. The PR's own rationale keeps 'agent-author' under optimizer's parent-and-run requirements, so the parent-of-baseline invariant was plausibly meant to hold here too. Fix: bind agent-author in the two experim

🟡 LOW Cross-schema consumers of lineage.source not addressed in changeset — .changeset/agent-author-lineage.md

Sibling schemas agent-profile-improvement-schema.ts:222 and agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:47 embed agentCandidateLineageSchema and also branch on (source === 'optimizer' || source === 'compound') in their own refinements (verified via grep). Whether those branches must also cover 'agent-author' is outside this shot's changed files, but the changeset's assertion of full additivity should be cross-checked by the shot covering those files. Non-blocking for this document; noted for the global verifier.

🟡 LOW agent-author may still declare a developmentSplitDigest, permitting the fabricated-digest claim the change exists to prevent — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts

developmentSplitDigest is an optional base-schema field and the refinement (lines 105-113) requires it for optimizer/compound but never forbids it for agent-author. The doc comment in agent-candidate.ts:390-392 states an agent-author 'has no held-out split'; allowing the field means an agent-author lineage can carry a made-up sha256 split, reintroducing the exact fabrication the PR removes from optimizer. It is only caught downstream when it happens to equal a benchmark split (agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:72-79). Fix: in the agent-author branch, reject a present developmentSplitDigest with a custom issue. Low severity b

🟡 LOW agent-author treated as generated here but not in experiment baseline-binding — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts

agentCandidateLineageSchema now requires parentDigests and runIds for source agent-author (lines 81-99), classifying it as a generated lineage. But the two consumers that validate a full measured experiment still gate the 'generated lineage must name the experiment baseline as a parent' rule to optimizer/compound only: agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:56 and agent-profile-improvement-schema.ts:245 both test (source === "optimizer" || source === "compound"). AgentCandidateLineage is embedded in both experiment types (agent-candidate.ts:656 and agent-profile-improvement.ts:90), so an agent-author lineage is type-legal ins

💰 Value — sound

Adds a frontier-author provenance member for profiles an agent authors at runtime, and consolidates three duplicated optimizer || compound gates into one exported list — additive, in-grain, and it reuses the enum term the codebase already ships for this actor.

A supervising agent authoring a child's full AgentProfile at runtime (the metadata.role: "driver" pattern already exercised at agent-execution-preparation.test.ts:139 and agent-profile-improvement-schema.test.ts:675; spawn_worker lives in the external discovery-lab consumer) previously had no honest enum member: optimizer's refinement deman
• Assessment: Good on its merits. The design separates two concepts that were previously conflated in one branch: "produced from a parent" (the generated-source list) and "produced by offline search" (the dev-split branch), with a comment explaining why the second is deliberately not the first (agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts:116-120).

A vocabulary-unifying, additive enum member that unblocks a real, already-shipped capability and removes a live fabricated-evidence workaround in an external consumer, with the branching logic consolidated into one shared owner.

• Integration: Fully wired and reachable. The new member enters at agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts:69-75, flows into both experiment schemas that embed the lineage schema (agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:50, agent-profile-improvement-schema.ts:225), and reaches the public package surface via the re-export chain agent-candidate-schema.ts:135 -> index.ts:88.

Consolidating three independent optimizer || compound branches into one ex
• Real-world viability: Holds up beyond the happy path. The change is strictly additive: the enum widened, refinement rules for optimizer/compound are byte-identical in effect, and the new test pins both the old sources' requirements and the set-derivation (needsSplit === ["optimizer","compound"]) so a future source cannot silently dodge a rule.

🟡 LOW Enum widening shipped as minor is source-breaking for exhaustive-switch consumers — .changeset/agent-author-lineage.md

The changeset declares minor, but the change widens the exported AgentCandidateLineage['source'] union (agent-candidate.ts:384). A downstream consumer that switches exhaustively over source with no default breaks at compile time after upgrade, which strict semver would call major. This matches the repo's established additive-as-minor convention (2.2.0, 2.3.0) and runtime parsing is genuinely additive, so minor is defensible; consider one sentence in the release notes flagging the widened union for exhaustive-switch callers. No change required to merge.

🟡 LOW 'generated-source list == schema' invariant test is tautological — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.test.ts

The test derives needsParent from agentCandidateLineageSchema, whose parent requirement is implemented as isGeneratedCandidateSource(lineage.source) — the same list under test (agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts:100). needsParent therefore equals generatedCandidateSources by construction, and a 6th enum member omitted from the list would leave the assertion green, reproducing the silent exemption this PR fixes. Every source value is also hardcoded in everySource. Strengthen with an independent expectation (literal expected generated set) so a future enum addition must consciously update the classification. Suggest a concrete fix; low risk today.

🟡 LOW Drift-guard meta-test hardcodes the enum it claims to guard — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.test.ts

everySource is a manually written third runtime copy of the five-member source list (after the z.enum literal and, separately, the TS union). A fifth source added to the zod enum but not to everySource silently escapes the meta-test — the same drift class the PR eliminates. The type/schema pair is compiler-synced via satisfies z.ZodType<AgentCandidateLineage>, but the test list is unenforced. Fix: export one runtime agentCandidateLineageSources const, type the TS union as (typeof agentCandidateLineageSources)[number], feed it to z.enum(...), and derive everySource from it in the test.

🟡 LOW Experiment-level 'name your baseline' gate untested for frontier-author — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.test.ts

The new tests cover the lineage schema itself but not the two call sites this PR rewires. agent-candidate-promotion-schema.test.ts (12 tests, lines 58-235) exercises only activation/activation-result schemas — the baseline-in-parentDigests rule at agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts:59 has no test for optimizer, compound, or the new frontier-author. agent-profile-improvement-schema.test.ts:126 builds the optimizer happy path only. Add one test per experiment schema asserting a frontier-author lineage WITHOUT the baseline digest in parentDigests is rejected (and that including it passes); this is the exact behavior the chan

🟡 LOW frontier-author candidates carry no development-split evidence by design — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts

Informational, documented tradeoff: a frontier-authored candidate can enter a measured comparison without any pinned train/test split, unlike optimizer/compound. The inline comment and changeset argue this is inherent (a run-time author has no held-out set) and the disjointness checks in both experiment schemas still fire when a split is supplied voluntarily, so no hole opens for existing sources. No action required; flagged so the evidence-weakening is a visible decision rather than an accident.

🟡 LOW frontier-author exempts development-split leak guard by self-reported source — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-lineage-schema.ts

The developmentSplitDigest requirement is deliberately kept as optimizer || compound (line 121), so a frontier-author lineage may carry no development split. The disjoint-split leak checks in the two experiment schemas (promotion-schema.ts:76-88, profile-improvement-schema.ts:264-273) only fire when developmentSplitDigest is present, so a frontier-author candidate never proves its dev split is disjoint from the held-out eval split. This is the documented intent (an agent authoring a profile inside a run has no held-out split), and the source field is self-reported metadata throughout this schema (human/import also require no spli

🟡 LOW Experiment-schema baseline gate for frontier-author is untested — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate-promotion-schema.ts

The gate changed from source === "optimizer" || source === "compound" to isGeneratedCandidateSource(source) here and at agent-profile-improvement-schema.ts:248, but no test file imports either experiment schema (verified by grep). The refactor's own motivation — a new generated source silently skipping the 'name your baseline' rule — is exactly the behavior nothing pins at these two sites; the meta-test only guards the helper against the lineage schema, not against a future caller bypassing the helper. Fix: add one negative test per schema (frontier-author experiment whose parentDigests omit the baseline digest must fail with the 'generated candidate lineage must include the experiment baseline' issue).

🟡 LOW Comment overstates enum equivalence — packages/agent-interface/src/agent-candidate.ts

The doc says frontier-author is 'the same member AgentProfileDiff.source.kind already carries, so the two enums name one actor with one word.' That is accurate for the frontier-author member, but the two source enums are not identical sets: AgentProfileDiff.source.kind is {trace, frontier-author, human, optimizer, compound} (profile-diff.ts:100-105, profile-schema.ts:549-555) while AgentCandidateLineage.source is {optimizer, human, import, compound, frontier-author} (line 397). 'trace' vs 'import' diverge. Not a logic bug — only a documentation precision nit; a reader could infer the enums must stay in lockstep when they actually track different
