Brings the bureau from 4 → 8 detectives. All eight run as Bun + claude-CLI
subprocesses against the same Supabase + investigation_jobs LISTEN/NOTIFY
queue, sharing search.ts hybridSearch and writer-side validators that
gate writes against schema + FK.
New detectives:
Poirot (witness_analysis)
- prompts/poirot.md — credibility / access / bias / corroboration /
verdict; uses entity_mentions JOIN chunks to pull 12 chunks per
person; resolves corroboration_refs chunk_ids defensively (accepts
bare cNNNN even when the model emits pNNN/cNNNN).
- INSERT into public.witnesses with W-NNNN naming.
- Tone: purple (#9b5de5).
Taleb (outlier_scan)
- prompts/taleb.md — "surprise is relative to a model"; at most 3
outliers; each requires explicit dominant_model + why_surprising +
what_it_implies; fan-out into public.gaps with scope.kind="outlier".
- Same unscoped-fallback as Dupin (Pass 1 with doc_id, Pass 2 widens
to corpus if hits < 3).
- Tone: yellow (#ffd23f).
Tetlock (calibrate_hypothesis)
- prompts/tetlock.md — honest Bayesian update; emits new_posterior +
Δ + recommended_action ∈ {keep, downgrade, upgrade, supersede}.
- write_calibration UPDATEs public.hypotheses + APPENDS a
"## Calibration history" section to the H-NNNN.md case file
(calibration is append-only — each datapoint matters). Posterior
band auto-corrected to match Tetlock thresholds.
- NO_NEW_EVIDENCE sentinel handled; pure 'keep' with |Δ|<0.005 only
touches updated_at + reviewed_by.
- Tone: teal (#26d4cc).
Case-Writer (case_report)
- prompts/case-writer.md — Dr. Watson assembles all artefacts
(E-NNNN, H-NNNN, R-NNNN, W-NNNN, G-NNNN) into a five-act narrative.
ILIKE filter on topic; doc_id optional scope.
- Larger budget cap (≥ $0.50) + longer timeout for prose generation.
- Writes case/reports/<slug>.md with frontmatter (topic + counts);
no DB table for v0.
- New page /c/[slug] renders the report via MarkdownBody + stat chips.
- Tone: gold (#e0c080).
Hardening across the bureau:
- Sentinel parsing now accepts backticked AND prose-trailing forms
(Holmes NO_HYPOTHESES, Dupin NO_CONTRADICTIONS, Schneier
INSUFFICIENT_HYPOTHESIS, Poirot INSUFFICIENT_TESTIMONY, Taleb
NO_OUTLIERS, Tetlock NO_NEW_EVIDENCE, Case-Writer
INSUFFICIENT_ARTEFACTS). Avoids the failure mode where the model
refuses honestly but the runtime treated it as a parse error
(observed live with Poirot+Hoover identifying the DIRECTOR
false-positive disambiguation issue in entity_mentions).
Chat tool extensions (web/lib/chat/tools.ts):
- request_investigation now accepts 7 kinds. Each routes to its
detective with appropriate validation (hypothesis_id regex,
person_id kebab-case, topic non-empty, doc_id for evidence_chain).
- ETA per kind: Holmes/Dupin 60s, Poirot 45s, Schneier/Tetlock 30s,
Taleb 50s, Case-Writer 180s (longer prose), Locard 30×n_chunks.
UI integration:
- chat-bubble inline card paints each detective in its tone color.
- /jobs/[id] page header swaps name/subtitle/tone per detective;
question label adapts ("Topic" / "Hypothesis under attack" /
"Witness under analysis" / "Topic to outlier-scan" / "Hypothesis
under recalibration" / "Case to assemble").
- job-status-poller renders: case-report link card (gold), outlier
cards (yellow), witness cards (purple) — alongside existing
hypothesis, evidence, contradiction cards.
- /api/jobs/[id] hydrates witnesses (JOIN entities for canonical_name)
+ gaps (with scope JSONB).
- /c/[slug] page reads /data/ufo/case/reports/<slug>.md and renders
with MarkdownBody, frontmatter parsed for stat chips.

Adds the second AI detective in the Investigation Bureau runtime: Sherlock
Holmes, who builds 2-3 rival hypotheses with calibrated priors + posteriors
against a corpus shortlist.
Pipeline:
1. hybridSearch() grounds Holmes with 8-15 chunks via the same
hybrid_search_chunks RPC the web uses (BM25 + dense + RRF). Default
max_dense_dist=0.55 (runtime favors recall over precision; web's
/api/search/hybrid stays at 0.40 for chat).
2. claude-sonnet-4-6 emits a strict JSON array with position +
argument_for + argument_against + prior + posterior + confidence_band
+ evidence_refs. Citations use [[doc-id/pNNN#cNNNN]] wiki-links.
3. writeHypothesis() validates posterior ∈ [0,1], auto-corrects the
Tetlock band from the posterior (high ≥0.90, medium 0.60-0.89,
low 0.30-0.59, speculation <0.30), checks evidence_refs FK against
public.evidence, INSERTs into public.hypotheses + writes
case/hypotheses/H-NNNN.md.
Discipline guarantees (prompts/holmes.md):
- posteriors across rivals sum to ≈1.0
- no claim without chunk citation
- prefer lower band when ambiguous (anti-inflation)
- declarative one-sentence position, no hedging
- emit `NO_HYPOTHESES` when corpus is silent (refuses to fabricate)
Smoke test (Sandia green fireballs 1948-49):
- H-0001 prior 0.5 → posterior 0.2 (speculation): natural meteoric
- H-0002 prior 0.3 → posterior 0.4 (low): classified weapons / tests
- H-0003 prior 0.2 → posterior 0.4 (low): genuinely unidentified
Bayesian update visible: "natural meteoric" prior dropped 60%; both
rivals climbed. 4 unique chunk citations across the 3 hypotheses.
orchestrator dispatches `hypothesis_tournament` kind via runHolmes;
job marked `failed` if all rivals error, `complete` otherwise.
