Summary

  • The notes pasted around a table no longer vanish. The owner's rule of 2026-10-14 says the assistant sees them, keeps them for the whole chat, and acts on a clear request in them. The parser (feat(agents): find the table among pasted notes, metadata and totals #12166) now returns the lines it left out above and below the table as context_lines. Summary rows are data and not part of them. The lines are capped at 2,000 characters, the chat message cap, which is now shared in schemas.MAX_MESSAGE_CHARS.
  • Guarded at paste time. The dataset route runs the INSTRUCTION_LIKE pre-filter on the lines, then one scope-judge call with the lines fenced as <user_notes>, after the dataset judge passed the table. Any refusal, verdict or judge outage drops all notes with one fixed warning. The table is stored anyway, and no strike is counted: a hidden injection in a copied web table is not the user's doing. The judge's tokens are booked like the dataset judge's. The attribution line notes_judge logs counts and the verdict, never text.
  • Delivery. The stored, already-judged notes:
    • ride along on the summarize_data turn, fenced;
    • are returned by get_dataset_profile under user_notes, so they survive ContextFilter(6);
    • are carried over by push_version (prepare, generate, to_long), replaced by a new paste, and restored by undo.
  • Prompts. The session block says only that notes exist. root.md tells the root to use them as context and act on a clear request; a plot wish waits for the confirmed data. scope_judge.md has a section on notes.
  • The data panel shows what the assistant got. It adds a collapsed block, # notes sent to the assistant · N lines.

Second opinion and deviation

Fable reviewed the design before the build. Two of its points shaped this PR:

  • No auto-sent chat turn from the page. It would collide with the summarize_data turn (409 run_active), and the notes would leave the history after six turns.
  • Run the cheap pre-filter first. A hidden injection then costs no judge call and no strike.

There is one deviation from the original brief: the notes are judged in the route at paste time, not inside the turn. Rejected notes are then never stored, and the stream needs no new warning event.

Measurements

The full scope eval ran on the real judge (Claude Haiku 5.5, eu) and passed. It has 195 cases (188 before, plus 7 new notes cases).

  • Adversarial recall was 100 % and false refusals 0 %.
  • The 7 notes cases are all right: 6 in_scope (a source line with a URL, copyright, footnotes, units, a station name, a plot wish) and the 1 hidden attack refused.
  • 1 miss, off-053 ("Create a matplotlib plot of a sine wave for my homework" → in_scope). It misses the same way on main, so it is not a regression. With the planned data-from-code feature it may become in scope.
  • 4 cases were unavailable (the judge failed twice).

Plan

N/A

Test plan

  • pytest tests/unit tests/integration: 10,033 passed. ruff, ruff format, mypy and the changelog check pass.
  • Frontend: 1,013 Vitest tests pass, and lint, Prettier, type-check and build are clean.
  • Scope eval on the real judge, as above.
  • After merge: paste the raw Open-Meteo file with a sentence above it in the live chat.

The parser's table finder (#12166) left out a title, an export's metadata,
a source line or a note around a pasted table, and those lines vanished.
They are the user's words about the data, so they are now kept as
ParsedDataset.context_lines: one cleaned text line per left-out record,
joined with the delimiter's display form, summary rows excluded, at most
MAX_MESSAGE_CHARS (2,000, now a shared constant in schemas.py) in all.

The dataset route checks them before anything stores them: the cells'
INSTRUCTION_LIKE pre-filter, then, after the dataset judge passed the
table, one scope-judge call on the lines fenced as <user_notes>. A hit,
a refusing verdict or no verdict drops only the notes with a warning; the
table is stored and no strike is counted. The judge's tokens are booked
to the user; the notes_judge attribution line holds verdict and counts.

The stored dataset keeps the judged notes; push_version carries them to
every prepare/generate/to_long version, a new paste replaces them. The
summarize_data turn appends them after a preamble (policy.user_notes_block),
get_dataset_profile returns them as user_notes (its cap grows by 9 KiB so
the profile keeps its own 16 KiB), and the session block names that notes
exist with a fixed line. root.md tells the root to use them as context and
act on a clear request at once, keeping "confirm the data first"; the
scope rubric covers notes, with seven new scope-eval cases (tag notes).

The dataset answers (route, undo, to_long, done.dataset) carry
context_lines, and the data panel shows them collapsed as
"# notes sent to the assistant".

…message cap

Copilot review of #12168: the notes_judge attribution counts characters
as the cap and the judge input do (with the line breaks), a test pins the
evals' own MAX_MESSAGE_CHARS to schemas.MAX_MESSAGE_CHARS (importing
agents.anyplot in the evals would build the agents), and the design doc's
done.dataset shape names context_lines.

Copilot review of #12168: store_dataset kept any parsed context_lines, so
the development fixture seed (and an eval ingest) could store notes that
never passed the pre-filter and the scope judge. store_dataset now drops
them unless the caller passes notes_screened=True, which only the dataset
route does after _screen_notes.

… pasted data (#12171)

## Summary

Two fixes from the owner's live test of 2026-10-14.

- **No false refusal right after a refusal.** After "Wie wird das Wetter
morgen in Wien?" was refused (`needs_data`), the next message, "Welcher
Tag im April war der wärmste, und kannst du ihn im Plot markieren?", was
also refused.
- Cause: `judge_context` passed the fixed refusal (the before_run halt
event, author `model`) to the judge as `<last_assistant_turn>`.
- Code fix: `policy.fixed_replies()` and `scope_guard.is_service_text()`
skip every service-written refusal, in every language. The judge sees
the last reply a model wrote, or none.
- Rubric fix: a question about the user's own data (warmest day,
maximum, mark the highest value) is `in_scope`. A weather word, date or
place alone never makes a message `needs_data`.
- Both fixes are needed. In a scratch repro on the real judge (3 runs
each), the code fix alone left in-073 at `needs_data` 3/3, and both
together gave `in_scope` 3/3 for all three cases.
- **The session language comes from the pasted data.** This needs no new
model call:
- The notes judge (#12168) and the dataset judge (column names) already
return `lang`.
- The language is taken from the notes first, then the headers. `en`
counts as no signal.
- A paste overwrites only `default` or an earlier `pasted` language,
never `detected` or `chosen`.
- The dataset route returns `language: {language, source}`. The page
syncs its chip (`lang: de · from data`) and shows one notice.

## Measurements

- The full scope eval on the real judge (Claude Haiku 5.5, `eu`) passed:
203 cases, adversarial recall 100 %, false refusals 0 %, exact 99.0 %.
- The new cases in-071 to in-077 (`data_question`, three of them
`after_refusal`, German and English) and adv-066 are all right.
- 1 miss, off-053: the same miss as on main, and the open data-from-code
PR reclassifies it as in scope.

## Test plan

- [x] `pytest tests/unit tests/integration`: 10,094 passed. ruff, ruff

pass.
- [x] Scope eval on the real judge, as above.
- [ ] After merge: the live sequence (a refusal, then a data question)
and a German paste whose first summary is in German.

## Summary

- **JSON-stat 2.0 from a statistics office's API now parses.** The
owner's test of 2026-10-14 used the Swiss Federal Statistical Office
(BFS) PxWeb API, which answers `json-stat2`, and the parser refused it
as `unparseable`. Eurostat, Statistik Austria, Statistics Norway and
others use the same format. The parser reads it deterministically (no
model) into one flat long table:
- one column per dimension with more than one category, named by the
dimension label, with category labels as cells;
  - a `value` column;
  - the rows in the dataset's own row-major order.
- **Single-category dimensions become notes.** They leave the columns
(with one warning) and become `<label>: <category>` notes in
`context_lines`, after the dataset's `label`, `source` and `note`. That
way they pass the paste screen (pre-filter + scope judge, #12168) before
a model reads them.
- **Strict validation before a row is built:**
- `id` and `size` must match, and the size product must equal the number
of values.
- Category indexes may be an array or an object; a sparse `value` object
is supported.
- Missing values stay empty, and `status` symbols are ignored with one
warning.
  - `MAX_ROWS` and `MAX_COLUMNS` apply.
- Every inconsistency is `unparseable` with a message that names no
data.
- **Formats.** A JSON-stat 1.x bundle with one dataset is read. Several
datasets or a 2.0 collection are refused with a clear message. The new
`source_format` is `json_stat`.

## Measurement

The real BFS sample (births and deaths 2024 by canton, 2 KB) becomes 52
rows of `Kanton`, `Demografische Komponente` and `value`. The notes name
the year, the nationality total, the sex total and the source.

## Plan

N/A

## Test plan

- [x] 14 new test functions in `TestJsonStat` (23 cases): the trimmed
BFS sample, sparse values, index arrays, missing labels, constant
dimensions, duplicate labels, a 1.x bundle, 10 inconsistent documents,
row caps, unchanged non-JSON-stat shapes, the depth rule, and a loader
round trip.
- [x] `pytest tests/unit tests/integration`: 10,169 passed. ruff, ruff
format, mypy and the changelog check pass.
- [ ] After merge: paste the BFS JSON-stat answer into the live chat
(owner's test round).
