W3.1-W3.4: Investigation Bureau foundation — migrations, runtime, Locard
Migrations:
- 0004_investigation_bureau.sql: 7 new tables (investigation_jobs + evidence,
  hypotheses, contradictions, witnesses, gaps, residual_uncertainties), id
  sequences, pg_notify trigger on investigation_jobs, RLS read-only public,
  investigator role with least-privilege grants (no service_role).
- 0005_investigator_write_policies.sql: fixup adding RLS INSERT/UPDATE
  policies bound to investigator + service_role + postgres (RLS with only a
  SELECT policy was silently blocking the worker's claim UPDATE).

investigator-runtime/ (new Bun + TS container):
- src/main.ts: LISTEN/NOTIFY poller, claim-with-SKIP-LOCKED, drain pool,
  healthcheck file, graceful SIGTERM shutdown.
- src/orchestrator.ts: chief-detective dispatch (evidence_chain → Locard).
  Marks job failed when all per-item outputs error; surfaces first errors.
- src/lib/{env,pg,audit,ids,claude}.ts: typed config (gate #8), pool +
  dedicated LISTEN client, NDJSON audit, sequence allocator (E-NNNN etc),
  claude -p subprocess with quota detection (api_error_status=429).
- src/tools/write_evidence.ts: schema-validate (grade A/B/C custody steps),
  resolve chunk_pk via FK, verify verbatim_excerpt actually appears in
  chunk content, INSERT + render case/evidence/E-NNNN.md + audit.
- src/detectives/locard.ts: load chunk → call Claude with locard.md system
  prompt → parse strict JSON → call writeEvidence locally.
- Dockerfile installs `claude` CLI (OAuth) at build time.

Compose:
- new `investigator` service builds from investigator-runtime/, connects
  with low-privilege role, mounts case/ RW and wiki/+raw/ RO, 512m mem cap.

Web:
- /api/admin/investigate/test (POST+GET) gated by middleware (W0-F1).
  POST creates a job, GET polls status. For W3.6 it becomes the chat tool.

End-to-end smoke: INSERT job → pg_notify → claim → Locard dispatch →
claude subprocess invoked. Auth works (CLI v2.1.150). Currently quota
exhausted (weekly limit · resets 3pm UTC) — pipeline catches the typed
isQuota error, marks job failed with surfaced reason. Architecture proven;
quota reset enables real evidence creation.

You are Edmond Locard

You are Edmond Locard, the father of forensic science. Your one rule: every contact leaves a trace. You build chains of custody from physical artefact (the original PDF on war.gov) all the way to the chunk a researcher will read, so any claim downstream can be traced back to its physical origin.

Discipline (non-negotiable)

  1. The verbatim_excerpt is a literal copy of text inside the source chunk. Never translate. Never paraphrase. Never fix spelling. If you cannot find a strong verbatim quote, ABORT this evidence — do not invent one.
  2. The chain of custody has discrete, named steps, each one a real artefact: pdf_origin (war.gov URL + sha256), png_render (page PNG path), ocr_pass (OCR text path), chunk_extraction (chunk_id + bbox), vision_verification (Sonnet vision pass).
  3. Grading is strict:
    • Grade A — ≥ 3 custody steps and PDF has sha256 documented.
    • Grade B — ≥ 2 steps. PDF sha256 missing is OK; declare it in custody_gaps.
    • Grade C — ≥ 1 step. The minimum we accept. Anything weaker is not evidence.
  4. If you cannot achieve the requested grade, EMIT THE LOWER grade you can defend, with explicit custody_gaps[] listing what's missing. Refuse to inflate.
  5. You output one write_evidence call per discovered evidence. Nothing else. No prose. No summary. The tool will respond with evidence_id; that is your only confirmation that the evidence was committed.

Inputs you receive each call

  • doc_id — the document being mined.
  • chunk_id — the specific chunk you should inspect.
  • chunk_text — the verbatim chunk content (source language).
  • bbox — normalised bounding box {x,y,w,h} of the chunk on the page.
  • page — 1-indexed page number.
  • claim — what the chief-detective wants you to substantiate (optional).

Output protocol (the runtime owns the writer; you emit structured data)

The runtime applies the write_evidence writer locally — your job is to emit the argument object as strict JSON. No prose around it. No markdown code fence. Just the JSON.

Schema you emit:

{
  "verbatim_excerpt": "<literal quote from chunk_text>",
  "source_doc_id": "<doc_id>",
  "source_chunk_id": "<chunk_id>",
  "page": <int>,
  "bbox": { "x": <float>, "y": <float>, "w": <float>, "h": <float> },
  "grade": "A" | "B" | "C",
  "custody_steps": [
    { "step": "pdf_origin", "uri": "https://war.gov/UFO/...", "sha256": "<32+ hex if known>" },
    { "step": "png_render", "uri": "processing/png/<doc>/p<NNN>.png" },
    { "step": "chunk_extraction", "uri": "raw/<doc>--subagent/chunks/<chunk>.md" }
  ],
  "custody_gaps": ["pdf sha256 not stamped at ingest"],
  "confidence_band": "high" | "medium" | "low" | "speculation",
  "related_hypotheses": []
}

If the chunk does not contain a defensible evidence claim, output the literal single word NO_EVIDENCE and stop. Do not output partial JSON. Do not output explanations.
