-# MoralMod × Index integration — design
-
-Date: 2026-10-27
-Status: superseded by the decoupling decision below; kept for the record
-Counterparty: Sydney Levine Lab (decision-studio, flexible-moral-reasoning — both private, read access confirmed)
-
-## Decision (2026-10-27): decoupled integration
-
-The embedded design below was implemented and then withdrawn as too much
-MoralMod-specific surface inside Index. The decoupled shape:
-
-- **Index ships only generic hardening: idempotent turn submission.** An
-  optional `clientTurnId` on `POST /opportunities/:id/negotiation/turns`
-  replays a committed turn as success instead of refusing a retry, which is
-  what made the lab's lost sends unreconcilable (their ask 2). That is this
-  PR's entire code change.
-- **MoralMod stays outside Index.** The lab's negotiator remains the external
-  executor for study residents through the existing per-user mechanism
-  (`agents.handleNegotiations` + the `?agentId=` executor fence) — exactly how
-  their boxes run today. Arm assignment, the assessment pipeline, the
-  selection policy, exposure events, and the research relay all stay in the
-  lab's stack.
-- **Scale is solved on the lab's side.** Their decision service is
-  Postgres/Procrastinate with separately operated API and worker processes;
-  the five-box ceiling is worker capacity and provider key tiers, not
-  architecture. They (or we, as a hosting favor outside this repo) scale the
-  workers — Railway works for that; sizing for ~5k ON turns/day is roughly 48
-  concurrent assessments and 65k–160k provider calls/day on their keys.
-- **Outcome export (their ask 3):** their boxes hold per-resident credentials
-  and can read outcomes today via `listNegotiations`/`getNegotiation`
-  (outcome, settledAt, turns) and opportunity state — no Index-side export
-  endpoint. If polling at study scale ever hurts, revisit with a generic,
-  non-experiment-specific export.
-- **Ramp (their ask 4):** entirely lab-side (which residents their boxes
-  negotiate for), no Index involvement.
-
-Everything below this line is the superseded embedded design.
-
----
-
-## Intent and why
-
-The lab's MoralMod always-on experiment arm is stalled at a five-box cohort because their
-hosted decision service cannot absorb the village's turn volume (~10k negotiation turns/day,
-~5k in the ON arm; each ON turn needs a 1–2 min assessment of ~13–32 LLM calls). They propose
-that Index run ON-arm residents' negotiation turns with the MoralMod consult embedded, while
-OFF-arm residents keep the plain negotiator, so the arms stay comparable.
-
-Index gains: the lab's four asks map almost one-to-one onto hardening we want anyway
-(turn idempotency, outcome export, per-user agent configuration, bounded agent concurrency).
-
-## Goals
-
-1. ON-arm residents' turns run through Index's hosted agent with the MoralMod consult applied
-   before the negotiator model writes the message; OFF-arm residents run the unmodified
-   negotiator. Capacity: ~5k ON turns/day sustained, with headroom for ~20/min peaks.
-2. Idempotent turn submission (client turn id), so a lost response is reconcilable and a
-   retry of a committed turn is success, not 403.
-3. An outcome export joinable on opportunity id (agreed/declined/closed, turns to settle,
-   principal accept/reject), scoped to the study cohort, no identities.
-4. A staged ramp with explicit gates, mirroring the lab's own (5 boxes → 50 → fleet canary).
-5. Research events: every ON turn emits `moralmod.turn_exposure@1` to the lab's Village Data
-   relay (opaque refs), unchanged in shape from wherever the logic runs.
-6. Both arms migrate: the memo's "your stack handles all of the turn work" (~10k turns/day)
-   covers OFF-arm residents too — they run on our hosted agent with no consult. That is what
-   makes anti-goal 1 (arms differ only by the consult) achievable; it also puts ~10k
-   turns/day of negotiator model calls (plus wakes, briefs, summaries) on Index's own model
-   keys and hosted-agent capacity, a cost line Seref must explicitly accept (open question 7).
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Re-implementing the flexible-moral-reasoning Python pipeline in TypeScript. The science
-  stays in the lab's validated code.
-- Porting the lab's full VillageTurnCommand ledger (claim/prepare/begin/unknown state
-  machine). That machine exists to get exactly-once semantics against a remote Index with no
-  idempotency key. Inside Index we own the database; a client turn id plus our existing
-  advisory-lock + `(negotiation_id, turn_index)` unique-index transaction gives the same
-  guarantee far more cheaply. (Open question 1 below checks the lab doesn't need the ledger
-  for evidence reasons.)
-- Running OFF-arm turns any differently than today.
-- A general experiment/feature-flag framework. The arm mirror is one keyed value per agent.
-
-## Anti-goals (failure even if it "works")
-
-- The arms become incomparable: ON and OFF must differ only by the consult. OFF-arm code
-  paths must be byte-identical to today's hosted agent.
-- Assessment backpressure stalls the village: a saturated assessment queue must degrade to
-  the lab's existing fallback (plain negotiate, reason `deadline`), never block turns.
-- Score leakage: MoralMod scores/terminology must never reach counterparties or principals.
-  The lab's publication guard ports with the decorator and applies to ON turns.
-- Identity leakage into research events: only opaque `subject_ref`/`opportunity_ref` leave
-  our boundary, as the lab's events already do.
-
-## Architecture decision
-
-Three options considered:
-
-- **A. Full port** — reimplement pipeline + selection + decorator inside Index. Rejected:
-  the Python pipeline is substantial research code; a port destroys scientific validity and
-  the lab's ability to vouch for the results.
-- **B. Hook + hosted worker (chosen)** — Index embeds the negotiator-side logic (consult,
-  selection, model decorator, fallback) as a `NegotiateHook`; the assessment itself runs as
-  the lab's own decision-service worker images deployed in Index infrastructure, scaled
-  horizontally (their service is Postgres/Procrastinate with separately operated API and
-  worker processes — the "one job queue" is a deployment limit, not an architectural one).
-  The lab's control plane keeps signing JWTs (JWKS/authorization), which their memo
-  explicitly supports.
-- **C. Scale the lab's hosted service in place** — not on offer; the volume constraint is
-  their hosting, and it leaves the double-ledger coupling (their turn state machine wrapping
-  our API) in place.
-
-Why B: the lab already patched into our own vendored agent loop at the `submitTurn` host
-hook — their `custom-negotiator` wraps `upstream/agent` (our `packages/agent`). The native
-equivalent is our existing `NegotiateHook` (`packages/agent/src/host.ts:15-18`, applied at
-:728, also accepted by the external runner `packages/agent/runner/runner.ts:19,62`). The
-negotiator-side pieces that must move are small and already TypeScript:
-`custom-negotiator/src/intervention/assessment.ts` (selection policy
-`aggregate-value-mean-hold-v1`, `validateResult`, `assessmentContext` — pure functions) and
-`src/intervention/turn.ts` (`assessedTurn`, the model decorator with the integrity guards)
-plus the publication guard from `src/intervention/policy.ts`/`publication.ts`. The heavy
-coordination machinery (`hosts/village/turns.ts`, `phases.ts`, the evidence/proof plumbing)
-exists to bridge two systems that are becoming one, and does not move.
-
-## Components (index repo, with anchors)
-
-### 1. Arm assignment mirror
-
-- Source of truth stays the lab control plane (`tenants.moralmod_arm`). Index mirrors it to
-  a per-agent value: `agents.metadata.moralmod = {arm: "on"|"off", experimentId, syncedAt}`
-  (per-agent `metadata` jsonb exists, `services/api/src/schemas/database.schema.ts:547-575`).
-- Sync: a small authenticated endpoint the lab cp pushes to (preferred — cp is source of
-  truth and already signs JWTs we can verify against their JWKS), plus a reconciling pull on
-  hosted-agent recovery. Builder's call on exact shape.
-- Unassigned residents (not in the study) have no key and are untouched.
-
-### 2. MoralMod `NegotiateHook` (the ON-turn path)
-
-Registered by the hosted agent (`services/api/src/lib/agent/hosted.agent.ts:262-270` is the
-existing hook example) and offered to external runners. Per turn:
-
-1. If the input user's agent is not ON-arm → return undefined (built-in negotiator runs;
-   this is the OFF arm and every non-study resident).
-2. Build the assessment request from the already-assembled `NegotiateInput`
-   (`packages/agent/src/host.ts:727`, type `packages/agent/src/types.ts:178-190`) and start
-   or join a run on the assessment service (lab contract: workflow start/wait; their client
-   collapses byte-identical requests, we keep that property keyed on
-   (opportunity, turn index, source digest)).
-3. Await the result up to the assessment deadline (lab semantics: `assessment_due_at`).
-   On deadline, unavailability, or an `AssessmentError` → emit a fallback-reason research
-   event and return undefined so the plain negotiator takes the turn (the lab's existing
-   `fallback`/`deadline` behaviour, `custom-negotiator/src/hosts/village/phases.ts:259-282`).
-4. On result: `validateResult` → `assessmentContext` (vendored) → run `assessedTurn` (the
-   vendored decorator) over the same `negotiate()` the built-in path uses, honouring
-   `input.signal`. Return its turn or stall through the hook.
-5. Emit `moralmod.turn_exposure@1` (run id, selection evidence, opaque refs) to the lab's
-   Village Data relay, and append a durable copy as an `opportunity_events` row
-   (`database.schema.ts:368-381` allows free-form typed events), which makes exposure
-   joinable on opportunity id in our own export.
-
-Concurrency guard: a bounded semaphore per hosted-agent replica for in-flight consults
-(hosted agent fan-out is currently unbounded — every `negotiation.turn` frame starts a run,
-`hosted.session.ts:154-167` only dedupes per opportunity). Overflow waits briefly, then takes
-the fallback path. Queue depth and fallback rate are first-class metrics.
-
-Known timing interactions (accepted, documented): a 1–2 min consult means the opening-turn
-summary can go out before the opening turn (`OPENING_MS = 60s`, `host.ts:39,597-601`), and a
-submit after a long consult can fail `already_settled`/`intent_inactive`/409 — those are
-clean losses the hook must treat as a no-op turn (re-read on next wake), never retry blindly.
-
-### 3. Turn idempotency (lab ask 2)
-
-- Add optional `clientTurnId` (uuid) to `POST /api/opportunities/{id}/negotiation/turns`
-  (schema `packages/protocol/src/protocol/negotiation.rules.ts:7-10`, route
-  `services/api/src/controllers/opportunity.controller.ts:386-440`).
-- New nullable column on `negotiation_turns` + partial unique index
-  `(negotiation_id, client_turn_id)`.
-- Semantics: inside the existing transaction (`negotiation.database.adapter.ts:513-545`),
-  if a turn with this `clientTurnId` already exists → return it as success with a
-  `replayed: true` marker instead of 403/409. New submissions behave exactly as today;
-  the field is optional so every existing client is unaffected.
-- Expose in `@indexnetwork/client` `submitTurn` (`packages/client/src/client.ts:491-499`).
-  This fixes the lab's "unknown send" dead end whether or not any part of their box persists.
-
-### 4. Outcome export (lab ask 3)
-
-A read-only, authenticated export (endpoint first; scheduled dump if the lab prefers files)
-joining, per opportunity id in the study cohort:
-
-- `negotiations.outcome` + `settledAt` (`database.schema.ts:388-413`),
-- turn count from `negotiation_turns` (turns-to-settle is derived, not stored),
-- principal accept/reject from `opportunity_events` lifecycle rows (`committed` = principal
-  accept, `declined` = principal pass; at most one `committed` per actor),
-- exposure rows from component 2, so the research side can verify ON coverage.
-
-Caveat the lab must know: `outcome='declined'` is currently unused by writes (a decline ends
-a round, not the negotiation — `negotiation.rules.ts:100-103`); terminal states are `agreed`,
-`closed` (human pass/expiry), or still-open. The export schema says this explicitly rather
-than synthesizing a fake `declined`.
-
-No identities: rows carry opportunity id and the lab-side opaque refs only. The lab maps
-opportunity id → `opportunity_ref` on their side (they already hold that mapping).
-
-### 5. Assessment service deployment
-
-- The lab's decision-studio images (root `Dockerfile`: `api` and `scientific` stages;
-  production shape is Postgres + Procrastinate with separate API and worker processes, per
-  `deployment/README.md`) run in Index infrastructure with a dedicated Postgres.
-- Sizing: 5k ON turns/day ≈ 3.5/min average; at ~20/min peak and p95 2 min, ~40 concurrent
-  assessments → start with worker capacity for 48 concurrent runs and measure. Each
-  assessment is 13–32 LLM calls, so ~65k–160k provider calls/day: provider rate limits on
-  the lab's `OPENAI_API_KEY`/`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`/`TYPESAFE_API_KEY` are the likeliest real
-  ceiling — the lab must confirm their key tiers or issue dedicated keys (my call: dedicated
-  keys, so their remaining hosted cohort is isolated from our volume).
-- Authorization: the lab cp keeps its JWKS/authorization role; our workers and hook verify
-  against it. Secrets live in our secret store, never in images (their build already
-  mandates this).
-
-### 6. Ramp (lab ask 4)
-
-Stage 0 — shadow: consult runs for a handful of ON-arm residents but the hook returns
-undefined (plain negotiator takes every turn); we measure latency, failure and fallback
-rates with zero behaviour change. Conditional on open question 5 (shadow runs must be
-markable or run under a separate experiment id, or Stage 0 is cut).
-Stage 1 — the existing five-box cohort's residents, consult applied.
-Stage 2 — 50 residents. Stage 3 — full ON arm (~half the village).
-Gates between stages (hold if breached): assessment p95 ≤ 2.5 min; fallback rate ≤ agreed
-threshold (lab sets it — fallbacks dilute the treatment); submit-failure rate after consult
-≈ OFF-arm baseline; zero publication-guard leaks; exposure events ≈ ON turns.
-
-## What we need from the lab first (ordered)
-
-1. Written permission + keys (they're requesting tonight; dedicated provider keys preferred).
-2. The promised file-level memo, pinned to answers for the five contract questions below
-   (bound/unbound, consult contract without stage plumbing, exposure emission path, runtime
-   receipt/identity, shadow-run marking) — these decide the build, not just document it.
-3. cp endpoints: arm push/pull, JWKS, Village Data relay credentials (if hook-side emission).
-4. Delivery of the decision-service images: lab-pushed at a stated pin, or build-from-source
-   instructions naming the one validated native rev (their deployment README lists three
-   pinned revs) plus the BuildKit token flow for the private pipeline dependency. My call:
-   ask for lab-pushed images.
-5. Their fallback-rate threshold and the agreed outcome-export schema.
-
-## Open questions
-
-For the lab (contract-deciding — the build plan cannot be finalized without these):
-
-1. **Ledger/evidence:** does research evidence require the signed VillageTurn ledger
-   (claim/prepare/begin receipts, carried stages), or are idempotent submission + exposure
-   events with run ids sufficient provenance? This design assumes the latter.
-2. **Bound vs unbound:** does the study run with a canonical policy projection
-   (policy-consumer-1 "bound" mode — two-tool constraint flow, `policyHold`, principal
-   questions) or unbound (preferred-action mode)? And does a start/wait/result consult
-   contract exist that does not require `consumer`/`stage_id`/`proof(observation)` — i.e.
-   the stage plumbing this design drops — or is the lab writing new service code for us?
-   The answer decides what gets vendored (`policy.ts` hold/question flow or not), the hook's
-   stall semantics, and whether the pinned contract is validated code or new.
-3. **Exposure emission:** their production path saves exposure evidence in the decision
-   service and delivers it via a separate `--maintenance` outbox process with retry and
-   cp-side consent re-checks (research_delivery runbook) — the design's hook-side emission
-   is the opposite. Which do they want: we run their maintenance outbox (then the hook
-   writes turn/selection receipts back to the service instead of emitting), or hook-side
-   emission (then we need the event schema, relay auth, and delivery semantics)? Wrong guess
-   double-counts or drops exposures, and "exposure events ≈ ON turns" is a ramp gate.
-4. **Per-resident identity:** building the consult request and `assessmentContext` needs a
-   per-resident runtime receipt (lab-side opaque user id for `participant_map`/owner,
-   experiment id, evaluation profile, assignment/permission/runtime revisions, allow flags),
-   fetched today with per-box credentials. Does the arm sync push the full receipt, or does
-   the hook fetch `/integrations/index/runtime` per resident — and can their authorization
-   support one multi-tenant Index service principal for all residents (their model is
-   per-resident JWTs)? This couples consult availability to lab-cp uptime and shapes the
-   sync endpoint and secret handling.
-5. **Shadow-run marking:** Stage 0 consults create real cases/runs in the service DB. Can
-   shadow runs be marked (or run under a separate experiment id) so they are excluded from
-   exposure counts and the experiment dataset? If not, Stage 0 corrupts what the ramp gates
-   measure and must be redesigned.
-6. **OFF-arm guard:** their box applies publication/plain-language checks on ON paths only;
-   confirm OFF arm should remain the stock negotiator with no guard, as this design assumes.
-
-For Seref (decisions needed):
-
-7. **Both-arm migration and the model bill:** confirm both arms' residents move to our
-   hosted agent (flipping `handleNegotiations`, retiring the box negotiators), and that
-   ~10k turns/day of negotiator model calls on Index's keys is acceptable. Alternative — the
-   lab's boxes stay the executor and only the assessment service moves to us — halves our
-   obligations but keeps their coordination stack in the loop and weakens comparability.
-8. **Where the assessment service runs** (our k8s/kind setup, Fly like the lab's, or the
-   boat.dev sandbox). Assessment provider calls (~65k–160k/day) stay on the lab's keys per
-   the memo — confirm you're fine being the operator but not the payer of that part.
-
-## Left to the builder
-
-Exact arm-sync endpoint shape; semaphore size and overflow wait; whether the vendored
-intervention files come in as a package (`packages/moralmod/`) or under the hosted-agent lib;
-export delivery mechanism (endpoint vs dump) after the lab states a preference; metrics
-naming. Vendored lab files keep their provenance headers and come from a pinned commit.

-# @indexnetwork/moralmod
-
-The MoralMod experiment's negotiator-side logic, as a standalone package.
-**Nothing in Index loads it**: the hosted agent, API, and schema carry no
-MoralMod code. It exists for the runner that executes study residents' turns
-(today, the lab's negotiator through the external-executor mechanism —
-`agents.handleNegotiations` plus the `?agentId=` fence).
-
-What's inside:
-
-- `selection.ts` — the five v1 selection templates and their statistics
-  (ported from Sydney-Levine-Lab/decision-studio custom-negotiator, commit
-  196153c, with the lab's cooperation).
-- `result.ts` / `context.ts` — assessment-result validation and the private
-  per-turn context block (preamble, scores, preferred action; exact top tie →
-  no preferred action, hold).
-- `publication.ts` — the verbatim disclosure guard: mechanism terminology,
-  numeric confidence talk, and run identifiers never reach a counterpart or a
-  principal.
-- `consult.ts` — the draft `moralmod-consult-0` client (start/poll with
-  per-fetch timeouts, in-flight joining, an absolute deadline).
-- `hook.ts` — `createMoralmodHook(...)`, a `NegotiateHook`: `on` consults and
-  passes `AssessmentGuidance` to an assessment-aware negotiator, `shadow`
-  measures off the turn's critical path, `off`/unassigned pass through
-  untouched; every failure falls back to the plain negotiator and is recorded
-  as a `moralmod-turn-exposure-1` event through the `emit` sink.
-
-**Scope (edgecity-goa only):** the study runs only in the edgecity-goa
-network. There is no network switch in Index; scope is enforced by the
-consumer: run the negotiator seat only for edgecity-goa residents, and have
-the `arm` callback return `null` for anyone not enrolled there. Note the gate
-is per-resident: a resident who is also in another network gets that
-network's opportunities through the same runner, and `NegotiateInput` carries
-no network id — filter per-opportunity in the runner if strict network
-scoping matters.
-
-The stock Index negotiator ignores the `assessment` field on its input; a host
-that wants assessed turns supplies a negotiator that honours it (the lab's
-decorator does). The consult wire contract and the exposure event shape are
-drafts pending the lab's integration memo; each is isolated in one module.
