 # Swarm Orchestrator
 
-A CLI for auditing AI-generated PRs and grading patches against typed contracts.
+Reads a pull request (PR) diff and flags the shortcuts artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents use to look done without being done. Relaxed tests, swallowed errors, fake renames, eleven categories in all. Grading patches against typed obligation contracts via a multi-persona pipeline is the second surface.
+
+For engineers reviewing AI-written PRs at volume. Compliance teams generate CycloneDX-ML (machine learning) and SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange) 3.0 AI-BOM (bill of materials) artifacts. The artifacts map to EU AI Act (European Union Artificial Intelligence Act) Annex IV and CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) reporting. Maintainers keep a hash-chained evidence record for every graded patch.
+
+**Flags are tips, blocks are proof.** A flag is a structural detector seeing a cheat-shaped pattern; it is advisory and never blocks a merge (`--mode advise` is the default). A block is a self-certifying runtime result whose per-instance controls are all green, and every block ships the exact command that reproduces it in a fresh checkout. Eight proof protocols back the gate today: six execution-grounded restoration proofs (`test-tamper`, `mock-mutation`, `no-op-fix`, `type-suppression`, `fake-refactor`, `dead-branch`) plus `claim-falsified` and `obligation-failure`. The measured proven-finding precision on the execution-grounded-viable corpus slice, with its plain n, is in [`benchmarks/real-corpus/GATE-PRECISION-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/real-corpus/GATE-PRECISION-REPORT.md).

-## What This Does
-
-Swarm Orchestrator reads a pull-request diff and flags the shortcuts an AI coding agent takes to look done without being done: relaxed tests, stripped assertions, swallowed errors, fake renames, eleven checks in all.
-On a benchmark of planted cheats it recovers 253 of 300 (84%, up 20.5% from the prior version), and on real merged Cloudflare PRs it caught two cheats that Semgrep and the ESLint security rules missed, both reproducible offline.
-Findings are advisory by default, so it never blocks a merge unless you turn that on.
-
-</div>
-
-## Who it's for
-
-- You review AI-written PRs at volume and want a "this change may be gaming the tests" signal that ordinary linters do not give you.
-- You have to hand over AI-procurement or compliance paperwork (EU AI Act Annex IV, CISA SBOM-for-AI) and would rather generate the documents than write them by hand.
-- You run AI coding agents and want one hard rule: a patch lands only if it builds, passes tests, holds a stated property, and survives a falsifier trying to break it.

 ### Catches cheats that linters miss
 
-Two real cheats in merged Cloudflare PRs reproduce deterministically offline from the committed diffs, and a live differential confirms that Semgrep (210 rules) and the ESLint security ruleset flag neither:
-
-| PR | Cheat it caught | Semgrep / ESLint |
+| PR | Cheat caught | Semgrep / ESLint |
 |---|---|---|
-| [cloudflare/workers-sdk#14063](https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/pull/14063) | fake refactor: a function was renamed but two callers still call the old name | not flagged |
-| [cloudflare/workers-sdk#14132](https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/pull/14132) | error swallow: a bare empty `catch` silently hides every error in the block | not flagged |
-
-This is the cheat class ordinary analyzers do not model: they look for dangerous APIs, not for tests quietly relaxed or errors quietly dropped. Reproduce either catch with `swarm audit --diff-file benchmarks/real-prs/diffs/cloudflare-workers-sdk/<pr>.diff`. The broader study across twelve repos, with findings classified by two independent model families plus the full false-alarm accounting, is in [`benchmarks/real-prs/v11-BENEFIT-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/real-prs/v11-BENEFIT-REPORT.md); two further error-swallow catches in that report came from the pre-upgrade detector flagging comment-only `// skip` catches, which the current version downgrades as usually legitimate.

-### Measured detection, not asserted
+Both reproduce deterministically from the committed diffs. Semgrep (210 rules) and the ESLint security ruleset flag neither.

Full study across twelve repos in [`benchmarks/real-prs/v11-BENEFIT-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/real-prs/v11-BENEFIT-REPORT.md).
 
-Detection is scored against a defect-injection oracle: an injector splices one labeled cheat into a presumed-clean real PR, so recall is measured against ground truth rather than claimed. The auditor recovers **253 of 300** planted cheats (**84%**), up **20.5%** from the pre-upgrade baseline of 210/300, across twelve categories. Most structural detectors sit at or near 1.00 recall on their own injection class. Reproduce with `npm run benchmarks:full`; the pre/post A/B is in [`benchmarks/results/AB-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/results/AB-REPORT.md) and the per-detector table is in [`benchmarks/oracle-corpus/per-detector-recall.md`](benchmarks/oracle-corpus/per-detector-recall.md).
+### Detection numbers
 
-### Low noise on unbiased real PRs
+**301 of 325** planted cheats recovered (92.6%) across thirteen categories scored against a defect-injection oracle: 258/275 structural plus 43/50 on the two semantic categories the judge-primary path covers. The behavioral `cheat-mock-mutation` category drove the latest gain: focusing the judge on the hunks that add a value-injecting mock lifted its recall from 0.16 (the prior rapid-mlx glm47 run) to 0.96 (24/25) on the local qwen3.6 judge, while the clean-PR judge false-positive rate fell from 10% to 0%. Reproduce with `SWARM_JUDGE_PROVIDER=ollama SWARM_JUDGE_MODEL=qwen3.6:35b-a3b npm run benchmarks:full`; A/B with the same-model decomposition in [`benchmarks/results/AB-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/results/AB-REPORT.md) and per-detector recall in [`benchmarks/oracle-corpus/per-detector-recall.md`](benchmarks/oracle-corpus/per-detector-recall.md).
 
-On an 18-PR pilot across five public repos, the post-upgrade auditor's false-alarm burden is **0.11 findings per PR**, at or below the pre-upgrade auditor's, with the oracle recall gain intact ([`benchmarks/real-prs/REAL-WORLD-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/real-prs/REAL-WORLD-REPORT.md)).

It surfaced one under-constrained change the diff-only layers cannot see: proof anchor [`trpc/trpc#6098`](https://github.com/trpc/trpc/pull/6098), where mutations survived on covered lines and eight of those lines are the ones the later hotfix changed. Reproduce with `npm run execution-grounded:full` ([`benchmarks/real-prs/v11-EXECUTION-GROUNDED-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/real-prs/v11-EXECUTION-GROUNDED-REPORT.md)).

-Detection is measured against a defect-injection oracle, not asserted: an

-
-Hunk-grouped chunking and per-hunk localization are infrastructure, not
-shipped recall wins: their mechanism tests pass, but on the current judge
-the tail-defect and per-hunk recall numbers stay low (a localized confirm
-prompt lifts tail-defect to 0.5 in measurement but is not shipped pending
-real-PR false-positive validation). The numbers are reported honestly in
-`benchmarks/oracle-corpus/tail-defect-recovery.md` and
-`per-hunk-localization.md`.
-
-The auditor is also validated on unbiased real PRs: `npm run real-prs:full`
-fetches recent merged PRs from public repos, audits them, and has an
-independent arbiter classify every finding. On an 18-PR pilot the
-post-upgrade false-alarm burden is 0.11 per PR, at or below the pre-upgrade
-auditor's, with the oracle recall gain intact
-([`benchmarks/real-prs/REAL-WORLD-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/real-prs/REAL-WORLD-REPORT.md)).
-
-The optional execution-grounded layer is evaluated separately: `npm run
-execution-grounded:full` provisions a sandboxed checkout of each corpus PR
-and runs diff-scoped mutation testing, issue-linked repro execution, and a
-coverage delta, then correlates the findings against each PR's revert/hotfix
-proof. It surfaces under-constrained changed lines that no diff-only tool can
-see (proof anchor `trpc/trpc#6098`: 10 mutants surviving on covered lines plus
-6 on uncovered lines, 8 of them on the lines the hotfix later changed), where
-the repo's test suite discriminates in a generic sandbox. This is a modest,
-honest result (1 proof-correlated catch in the sampled corpus, against a 0.929
-advisory-findings-per-clean-PR burden since v11.2 aggregated the
-uncovered-survivor floods per file; 3.357 before), measured rather than
-asserted; the

+Beyond the structural detectors, a judge-primary path catches two semantic categories (`goal-not-fixed`, `cheat-mock-mutation`) by asking the judge whether the diff delivers the PR's stated claim. For `cheat-mock-mutation` a deterministic pre-filter hands the judge only the test hunks that add a value-injecting mock, so the judge reads the six-line cheat instead of skimming a 40k-char diff, and is never asked on a clean PR that adds no such mock. A proven mock-mutation can also block under `--mode gate` as a self-certifying `mock-mutation-proven` trigger (see [`docs/limitations.md`](docs/limitations.md)).

+### Enabling the execution-grounded layer
+
+Structural detectors run with no setup and only ever flag (advisory). The six runtime proofs that can gate a merge (`test-tamper`, `mock-mutation`, `no-op-fix`, `type-suppression`, `fake-refactor`, `dead-branch`) need the execution-grounded layer, which is off until you set `executionGrounded.enabled: true` in [`.swarm/audit-config.yaml`](docs/audit-config.md). Turning it on is what lets `--mode gate` block, and every block it produces ships the exact command that reproduces it in a fresh checkout.
+
+What it costs: for each audited PR the layer provisions the repository in a sandbox (clone the head, install dependencies, run the affected tests), so it adds clone, install, and test wall-clock to the job, and only PRs in a Node project with a lockfile and a recognized test runner (jest, vitest, mocha) provision at all. Everything else fails closed to advisory. The static viability screen on the project corpus measured 12 of 197 PRs as provisionable ([`benchmarks/real-corpus/eg-viability.json`](benchmarks/real-corpus/eg-viability.json)); your own repository, where the suite is known to run in CI, provisions far more reliably than an arbitrary sample. Nothing the layer cannot prove ever blocks: with the layer off, or on a non-provisionable PR, gate mode passes on advisory findings alone.

-## Versions
-
-`10.3.0-advisory` finishes the four solo-doable items left after
-`10.2.0-advisory`. `no-op-fix` bumps to 2.0.0 with a gated Anthropic
-Haiku judge (off by default; opt in with `--enable-llm-judge` or
-`SWARM_AUDIT_LLM_JUDGE=1`), content-addressed cache at
-`.swarm/llm-judge-cache/`, and a new `llm-judge-result` ledger entry
-that pins the model id so replay is deterministic. The real-corpus
-baseline is re-scored against the v2.0 detectors: overall F1 0.167
-(P 0.100, R 0.500), with `mock-of-hallucination` picking up 2 TPs the
-v1.x shape missed. A static dashboard fetches the score snapshot
-directly and publishes via GitHub Pages
-([moonrunnerkc.github.io/swarm-orchestrator](https://moonrunnerkc.github.io/swarm-orchestrator/docs/leaderboard/)).
-`--shadow-output <path>` writes one JSON object per audit with
-detector verdicts, judge invocation count, and the rendered comment;
-the existing `--shadow <repo-label>` per-repo rollup remains. No
-detector clears the promotion gate, so all ten stay advisory-only. (The
-v10 cycle gated on F1 >= 0.5; that criterion was superseded by precision
->= 0.90 with a minimum true-positive count, the single bar stated under
-[Limitations and what's next](#limitations-and-whats-next).)
-
-`10.2.0-advisory` repositions the project around the suspicion-score
-verdict the measured precision can credibly support. Synthetic 1.000 is
-demoted to a regression-only number; the real-corpus 0.109 F1 is the
-only headline. `--mode advise|gate` makes the gate behavior opt-in. Six
-detectors retire to `--detectors experimental`. Every PR-comment finding
-renders its measured-precision badge inline. Shadow-mode infrastructure
-lands under `.swarm/shadow/`. Labeling methodology, kappa script, and
-labels-v2 scaffold ship alongside; the actual human labels are the next
-milestone.
-
-`10.1.0` raised detector accuracy on real PRs: the 205-entry hand-labeled
-baseline replaces the synthetic 500-case number as the published
-headline, the PR-intent layer escalates findings when the agent claims a
-fix, and five new manifest readers landed on `mock-of-hallucination`.
-
-`10.0.0` added the audit surface, the cheat detectors, the AI-BOM
-emitters, and the corpus. `9.x` removed the v6 verified-branch pipeline;
-pin `8.0.x` if you still need `swarm run --v6`.

-## Limitations and what's next
-
-An honest accounting of where the tool is weak today and what is being worked on.
-
-- **It over-flags normal PRs at scale, so findings ship advisory.** On a large clean-PR corpus the structural detectors fire on legitimate patterns (relocated tests, refactors that change assertions, pragmatic suppressions) often enough that blocking on them would be noisy. That is why `--mode advise` is the default and nothing blocks unless you opt in. Narrowing that false-alarm rate until a detector can earn the gate is the active work.
-- **No single detector has cleared the bar to block on its own.** A detector becomes gate-eligible only when its measured precision is at least 0.90 with a minimum true-positive count behind it (the Wilson lower bound keeps a handful of lucky firings from promoting). This is the single criterion; the v10 F1 >= 0.5 gate is superseded. The tier is computed into [`benchmarks/real-corpus/promotions.json`](benchmarks/real-corpus/promotions.json) and CI fails if it drifts (`npm run promotions:check`), so today every detector is advisory-only. A second, corroborated tier applies the same 0.90 bar to the subset of a detector's findings that the opt-in execution-grounded layer backs (a surviving mutant, a coverage gap, or a still-failing repro); a detector that is noisy standalone can clear it, which is the concrete path to the first gate.
-- **A second way to earn a block does not go through labels, and it is also empty today.** Because detector-versus-label precision is pinned at 0, a block can instead come from a self-certifying runtime fact, with its trustworthiness calibrated against whether the PR was reverted or hotfixed afterward, not against any label. Three triggers qualify: a fix claim the linked issue's repro still contradicts (`claim-falsified`), a structural finding a surviving mutant or coverage gap corroborates on the same changed line (`corroborated-under-constraint`), and a declared contract obligation that fails on the patched workspace (`obligation-failure`). A trigger may gate only when its Wilson 95% lower bound clears 0.90 with at least 5 confirmed reverted true positives, computed into [`benchmarks/real-corpus/block-eligibility.json`](benchmarks/real-corpus/block-eligibility.json) and held by CI (`npm run block-policy:check`, which also refuses a threshold tuned below the floor). Calibrated against 72 reverted/hotfixed PRs and 232 clean ones ([`benchmarks/real-corpus/BLOCK-REPORT.md`](benchmarks/real-corpus/BLOCK-REPORT.md)), no trigger clears the bar: `corroborated-under-constraint` fired once, on a PR that was reverted (precision 1.0 but Wilson lower 0.207 on one case), and the other two did not fire. So `block-eligible` is 0 and gate mode still blocks nothing on its own. When a trigger does clear the bar, gate mode blocks on it with the reproduce command and evidence attached to the PR comment.
-- **The real-corpus baseline is AI-labeled, so blocking precision is not yet proven.** Against the 205-PR model-labeled baseline the deterministic detectors score low (F1 0.140, [`benchmarks/real-corpus/scores/latest.json`](benchmarks/real-corpus/scores/latest.json)), and every label carries a "pending human review" stamp. That AI-labeling is the largest open hole in the project's credibility; closing it with human labels is the next milestone ([`docs/labeling-methodology.md`](docs/labeling-methodology.md), [`benchmarks/real-corpus/labels-v2/`](benchmarks/real-corpus/labels-v2/)). The loop that closes it is built and tested, waiting on the rater pool: [`scripts/labeling/adjudicate.ts`](scripts/labeling/adjudicate.ts) queues the arbiter-split findings (where two arbiter model families disagree, the highest information per human minute), records the human verdicts, and promotes them to the scored baseline only once the pairwise Cohen's kappa clears 0.60. Promotion never overwrites a snapshot without `--write` and drops, rather than coerces, any verdict whose category has no detector to score it against.
-- **It is a cheat and under-constraint signal, not a bug finder.** It does not catch the logic bugs that get reverted; those leave no cheat-shaped tell. Use it to answer "did the agent cut a corner?" and "can I prove this patch met its contract?", not "is this code correct?".

+## Limitations
+
+No single detector has cleared the precision bar to block on its own. Gate mode blocks only on a self-certifying runtime proof whose per-instance controls are all green: test-tamper, mock-mutation, no-op-fix, type-suppression, or fake-refactor restoration, claim falsification, or obligation failure. The first such proof fired on a dogfood PR in June 2026. The full accounting, including the measured gate precision and what blocks today and what doesn't, is in [`docs/limitations.md`](docs/limitations.md).
