+# LLM-Judge Calibration
+
+> Story `mesa2-llm-judge-calibration` · AF-20260704 Mesa #2.
+> Addresses the finding "the LLM judge decides Done without calibration" — the literal
+> gap (no golden set, no documented process) is now closed; the semantic layer (v2) has a
+> baseline + procedure but no recorded agreement number yet (it has not been run).
+
+## What the judge is
+
+The agent that decides whether a story is **Done** is `@quality-gate`, invoked by
+`Epic6Executor` (`.sinapse-ai/core/orchestration/executors/epic-6-executor.js`). It emits
+free-form review prose ending in a line `VERDICT: APPROVED | NEEDS_REVISION | BLOCKED`.
+`_parseVerdict(output)` turns that prose into the binary verdict — and `APPROVED` is what
+marks the work Done. So there are **two layers** to a correct verdict:
+
+1. **Semantic judgment (the LLM):** did the agent reach the *right* verdict for the change?
+2. **Verdict extraction (deterministic code):** did `_parseVerdict` correctly read the verdict
+   the agent expressed? This is the seam where "LLM prose" becomes "system decides Done."
+
+## The golden set
+
+`golden-set.json` is the **human baseline**: realistic review outputs, each labeled with the
+verdict a human considers correct, with a rationale. It is balanced across all three verdicts and
+includes the tricky edges (no explicit `VERDICT:` line, spaced/hyphenated tokens, conflicting
+signals where an explicit verdict must win, empty output that must never read as approval, and the
+"a blocker dominates" precedence).
+
+A golden label is **law**. If a case is ambiguous, fix the label — do not loosen the gate.
+
+## v1 — deterministic calibration (automated, CI-gated)
+
+`npm run calibrate:judge` runs the **real** `_parseVerdict` (imported via
+`Epic6Executor.prototype`, never re-implemented) over every golden output and requires **100%**
+agreement with the human labels. It reports an expected→predicted confusion map. Because
+`_parseVerdict` is deterministic, any disagreement means one of two things — the parser regressed,
+or a label is wrong — and both demand action. This is also enforced in CI by
+`tests/scripts/calibrate-judge.test.js`.
+
+What this layer guarantees is the **safe direction** of the extraction seam: for the recognized
+verdict vocabulary it reads the expressed verdict faithfully, and outside it, it **never fabricates
+approval and never silently flips an explicit verdict** — out-of-vocabulary or prose-only approvals
+fall to the safe non-approving default by design.
+
+## v2 — semantic calibration (live, periodic, NOT in CI)
+
+Calibrating the LLM's *judgment* requires running the real `@quality-gate` agent, which is
+non-deterministic and costly (and spawns a nested `claude` process that is unreliable on some
+platforms — see the executor's Windows note). It is therefore a **documented periodic procedure**,
+not a CI gate:
+
+1. Take the `scenario` behind each golden case (the code change + test state that would produce
+   such a review) from `scenarios.json`, feed it to the real `@quality-gate` judge.
+2. Compare the agent's emitted verdict (extracted with the production `_parseVerdict`) to the
+   golden `expected`.
+3. Track agreement over time. Target: **≥ 90%** agreement on the golden scenarios; below that, the
+   judge prompt/rubric needs work.
+
+### Latest measurement
+
+**First recorded run — 2026-07-06: 40/42 = 95.2% agreement** (13/14 scenarios majority-correct;
+**perfect 15/15 on all CRITICAL/blocking cases**). Above the 90% target; the single divergence is a
+known-ambiguous MEDIUM-vs-HIGH severity boundary, not a systematic gap. Full breakdown, confusion
+matrix, and divergence analysis in [`calibration-log.md`](./calibration-log.md).
+
+> **Honesty note.** v1 does not auto-calibrate the LLM's judgment — it locks the deterministic seam
+> and provides the human baseline + procedure for the semantic layer. Do not claim the LLM judge is
+> "calibrated" from a green CI alone. The v2 number above is a point-in-time live measurement, not a
+> CI-enforced guarantee; re-run periodically (labels are law — a systematic miss becomes rubric work,
+> never a label edit).
+
+## Feedback loop
+
+When the judge decides Done **wrongly** in production (approves broken work, or blocks good work),
+capture that review output as a **new golden case** with the correct human label. The golden set
+grows from real misses, so the calibration tracks reality instead of a frozen synthetic snapshot.

+Versioned record of semantic (v2) calibration runs. Each entry measures the real LLM judge's

+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Date | 2026-07-06 |
+| Judge model | frontier tier (Opus-class), via the QA executor prompt contract + quality-gate severity rubric |
+| Scenarios | 14 (human-labeled: 4 approved, 5 blocked, 5 needs_revision) |
+| Judgments | 42 (3 blind independent judgments per scenario) |
+| Extraction | production `Epic6Executor.prototype._parseVerdict` (no re-implementation) |
+| **Agreement** | **40/42 = 95.2%** |
+| Scenarios majority-correct | 13/14 |

+|---|---|---|---|
+| **approved** (12) | 12 | 0 | 0 |
+| **needs_revision** (13) | 2 | 13 | 0 |

+
+Read: every `blocked` scenario (all 15 judgments across 5 critical scenarios — SQL injection,
+hardcoded secret, RLS dropped, auth bypass, destructive migration) was caught with **zero misses**.
+Every clear `approved` and `needs_revision` scenario was unanimous. The only divergence is a single
+borderline scenario, below.
+
+### Divergences (2 of 42)
+
+**`stale-todo-and-debug-logs`** — human label `needs_revision`, judge said `approved` on 2 of 3
+independent judgments (the 3rd agreed: `needs_revision`).
+
+- Scenario: implementation meets all ACs and 34 tests pass, but the diff leaves 6
+  `console.log('DEBUG cart=', cart)` in the payment path and 2 unresolved `TODO: 3DS fallback` on
+  code that throws a generic error.
+- Judge reasoning (approvers): treated both as **MEDIUM technical debt** — "remove the debug logs in
+  a fast-follow cleanup and open a tracked story… since ACs are met, tests green, no security/data
+  risk, this does not block completion."
+- Judge reasoning (the dissenter): "the payment-path debug logs are a cheap fix I expect done before
+  merge, which puts this just short of approval."
+- **Analysis:** this is a legitimate **MEDIUM-vs-HIGH severity boundary call**, not a miscalibration.
+  The human label treats "ship debug noise + unresolved TODOs in the changed lines" as fix-before-merge
+  (HIGH → needs_revision); the judge majority treats it as document-as-debt (MEDIUM → approved). The
+  split judgment (2 approve / 1 revise) shows the model itself sees the case as borderline. Reasonable
+  human reviewers disagree here too.
+
+### Verdict on this run
+
+The judge is **well-calibrated** at 95.2%, comfortably above the 90% target, with a **perfect record
+on all CRITICAL/blocking cases** — the highest-stakes class. The one divergence is a known-ambiguous
+MEDIUM/HIGH boundary, not a systematic gap. **No rubric change is warranted from this run.** If a
+future run shows the judge systematically down-grading fix-before-merge issues to debt (a pattern, not
+a single borderline case), that would justify a story to sharpen the severity rubric's MEDIUM/HIGH
+line — captured here as a watch item, not an action.
+
+### Method notes
+
+- Judgments were **blind**: scenarios were fed without their expected labels; each of the 3 judgments
+  per scenario ran as an independent agent with no shared context.
+- Prompt contract mirrors production (`epic-6-executor.js` `_reviewViaAgent`): free-form review prose
+  ending in a single `VERDICT:` line, plus the quality-gate severity policy.
+- Raw judgment outputs are not committed (bulk); this log is the durable aggregate.
