Multi-Entity Empirical Performance Matrix

HISTORICAL RECORDED RUN • N=4 TARGETS • v3.7.0

Recorded evaluation runs across corporate and narrative entities comparing unguided query fan-out against Aegis Protocol's adaptive saturation stopping and source lineage deduplication. (Evaluated on release v3.7.0; reproducible via tests/chaos/test_agent_reach_chaos.py).

Evidence Saturation Dynamics & Quality Dimensions

Evidence Saturation Model
// MARGINAL EVIDENCE NOVELTY DECAY N(q_k) vs SATURATION S_k
Early halt triggered at query #5 where $N(q_5) = 0.04 < 0.08$ and $S_5 = 0.88 \ge 0.85$.
// EVIDENCE QUALITY PROFILE (PRIMARY vs PRESS vs SOCIAL)
Evaluated dimensions: Credibility, Consistency, Recency, Corroboration, Diversity, Proximity.

Fault Injection & Resilience Test Suite (tests/chaos)

4 / 4 FAULT-INJECTION TESTS PASSED

Automated stress and resilience test suite executing real failure injections against the channel pipeline. Confirms defensive fallbacks, non-blocking thread termination, and strict absence of fabricated evidence.

01 • Twitter Channel Timeout
Simulates 50ms hung connection to Twitter stream. ThreadPool safely cancels future without thread leakage or crashing multi-channel retrieval.
PASSED (52ms) timeout_graceful_recovery
02 • Jina Reader HTTP 429 Rate Limit
Injects HTTP 429 quota exhaustion on Jina Reader. Native router seamlessly steps down to Secondary Scraper with fallback recorded in trace.
PASSED (118ms) ratelimit_fallback
03 • Malformed RSS XML Injection
Supplies truncated, byte-corrupted XML payloads to feedparser. Safely discards invalid elements with 0 uncaught exception leaks.
PASSED (18ms) malformed_xml_recovery
04 • Total Channel Blackout Invariant
Forces 100% channel failure simultaneously. System guarantees 0 fabricated claims, setting findings state to UNKNOWN_NOT_INVESTIGATED.
PASSED (12ms) no_fabricated_evidence

Deterministic Research Replay

Recorded Research Dossiers

Completed investigations are recorded with SHA-256 evidence candidate hashes, decision logs, and execution traces for reproducible audit via /api/research/replay/dossiers/{id}.
