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 (feat(agents): keep the notes pasted around a table for the assistant #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.

Plan

N/A

Test plan

  • pytest tests/unit tests/integration: 10,094 passed. ruff, ruff format, mypy and the changelog check pass.
  • Frontend: lint, Prettier, type-check, 1,015 Vitest tests and build pass.
  • 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.

…he language

Issue 1, false refusal right after a refusal (live test 2026-10-14): the
scope judge got the halt event's fixed refusal as `<last_assistant_turn>`,
so after "Wie wird das Wetter morgen in Wien?" was refused `needs_data`,
"Welcher Tag im April war der wärmste, und kannst du ihn im Plot
markieren?" was refused `needs_data` too. `judge_context` now skips every
fixed reply (`policy.fixed_replies`, all refusals in all languages, plus
the outage line) and passes the last reply a model wrote, or none; the
withheld placeholder among the user turns still marks the refused turn.
The rubric says a question about the user's own data is in scope and
`needs_data` is only for data the service would have to fetch. Eight new
scope eval cases (`data_question`, three `after_refusal`).

Issue 2, language from the pasted data (owner request): a paste before any
typed message or choice sets the session language (new source `pasted`)
from the notes judge's `lang`, else the dataset judge's `lang` for the
part holding the column names; no extra model call. `en` is no signal.
Detection still replaces `pasted`; a paste never replaces `detected` or
`chosen` (the route re-reads the session after the judges). The dataset
route returns `language: {language, source}`; the page syncs its chip
(`lang: de · from data`) and shows one notice.

🟡 Changes recommended

Several API, architecture, and module-level descriptions still expose the obsolete three-source language contract.

…view round 2

Copilot's second round on #12171:

- A judged refusal now stores `[message withheld by scope policy: <code>]`
  (`out_of_scope` or `needs_data`; `attack` reads as `out_of_scope`), so
  "do it anyway" after a `needs_data` refusal gets `needs_data` again while
  no refusal text enters the judge's context. Refusals before the judge
  keep the bare placeholder. The rubric names both forms and says the
  placeholder's verdict belongs to the refused message only (in-053, a plot
  change after a refusal, regressed without that line). The eval cases use
  the coded placeholders; adv-067/adv-068 are the German and English
  continuations after a `needs_data` refusal.
- `upload_dataset`: documented why the re-read and the conditional
  language write are atomic (no suspending await in between on the
  in-memory session service).
- `import_case`: matches the placeholder by prefix; the session_language
  test covers `pasted` (version language first, session fallback).
- BFF mock: a German paste sets `de`/`pasted` and the dataset answer
  carries `language`; detection yields to it as in the service.
- Changelog and API doc: an English or unclear paste leaves the current
  language unchanged.

Brings in #12171 (the dataset judge returns the headers' language, the
notes screen returns the notes' language, the session language from a
paste). Conflicts:

- agents/main.py: main changed _judge_dataset to return the headers'
  language; this branch moved it into dataset_guard.py. The route keeps
  calling check_dataset, which now returns the headers' language from
  judge_dataset (the first part's verdict); run_data_code ignores it.
- docs/reference/api.md: main's text taken, this branch's four additions
  (422 code, the data-code paragraph, done.dataset.code, the BFF code)
  applied on top.
- docs/concepts/agent-network.md and agents/README.md: both sides kept
  (the language field and source next to 422 code and run_data_code; the
  scope case count is 219, the prep case count 44 with 11 data-code cases).

scope_judge.md, scope.evalset.json (ids unique), policy, scope_guard and
import_case merged without conflicts.
