Claude 7d6cc8985c Stop quoting the eval-set size, and fix two counts that were wrong
Five documents named the size of eval/testset.jsonl and two were wrong:
spec/REBUILD.md said 62 cases and status/current-state.html said 75. The
file holds 78. Both were corrected earlier today in the two places I had
grepped for, and these two were missed - the same staleness failure
repeating inside the same session that found it.

Rather than correct them to 78 and wait for the next divergence, the
count is gone from every sentence that states a current total. README.md,
REBUILD.md, current-state.html and workflow-map.html now name the eval set
without sizing it. The file is the source of truth and it cannot go stale.

The four remaining mentions are historical and stay: "the exam grew from
67 questions to 75 to cover them" records what happened when the eight
live-model failures were pinned, and REQUESTS.md's "67-question acceptance
test" is inside a dated request. Both are correct as history.

This is the same reasoning as dropping "twelve assumptions" from the
stand-in historian pointer, and it is now a rule in CLAUDE.md.

# WRPS Plant Operations Assistant
A proof-of-concept assistant that lets an operator at the **Waterloo Road Pump
Station** ask a question in plain English and get an answer grounded in plant
data and controlled documents.
| Example question | Class |
|---|---|
| "How many times did the wet well high level alarm come up last week?" | **Historical** |
| "What does the level signal fault alarm on the wet well mean?" | **Reference** |
| "How do I lift the interlock on Pump 02?" | **Procedural** |
| "What discharge rate should we run to avoid spilling?" | **Advisory** |
Those four need different retrieval paths, different answer contracts and
different safety rules. One generic pipeline covering all four is the main way
this project fails.
**Success is a correct, citable, appropriately-scoped answer. Fluency is not
success.**

## Start here
New to this repository? In this order:
1. **This file** — what the system is, what it refuses to do, and how it is put
together. Fifteen minutes.
2. **[`status/workflow-map.html`](status/workflow-map.html)** — the same thing
with no software vocabulary, written for a plant engineer. Open it in a
browser.
3. **[`status/current-state.html`](status/current-state.html)** — what is
actually running right now, phase by phase, and what is still outstanding.
4. **[`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md)** — the rules. Short, and **binding**: it is
loaded automatically by Claude Code at the start of every session, so it is
the one file that changes what an AI agent will do in this repo. Read it
before you change it.
Then, depending on what you came to do:
| I want to... | Go to |
|---|---|
| Deploy it, or rebuild it from nothing | [`spec/REBUILD.md`](spec/REBUILD.md) |
| Understand *why* it is built this way | [`spec/BUILD-AI-CONTAINERS.md`](spec/BUILD-AI-CONTAINERS.md) |
| Understand the host it runs on | [`spec/YAU_Linux_Host_Onboarding.md`](spec/YAU_Linux_Host_Onboarding.md) |
| Know what is still blocked, and on whom | [`status/REQUESTS.md`](status/REQUESTS.md) |
| Know what is broken or unfinished, and ours to fix | [`status/OPEN-ISSUES.md`](status/OPEN-ISSUES.md) |
| Change code | `pytest api/tests` first — it needs no network, no API key and no database |
**You will need**, and should confirm before starting: SSH to `lin001`, an AD
account in the Authelia groups, and — only for the answer path — an Azure OpenAI
key. None of them are in this repository; they come from Dan.

## Read this before writing any code
This is an **information retrieval and analysis assistant**. It is not a
control system, not an advisory controller, and not a substitute for a
competent person.
**It does not issue instructions for safety-critical actions.** For *"how do I
lift the interlock on Pump 02"* it locates and cites the controlled procedure.
An interlock exists because somebody assessed a hazard; a bypass procedure
reassembled from retrieved fragments is a safety document nobody approved.
**It does not recommend setpoints or operating parameters.** For *"what
discharge rate"* it gives evidence — rates used, outcomes, when alarms
occurred, documented capacity — and then defers. A number presented as an
answer gets typed into a control system by someone who trusts it.
**It does not answer outside its evidence.** Zero rows means "no records
found", never an invented figure.
These are **code paths, not prompt instructions**: [`api/contracts.py`](api/contracts.py)
holds one Pydantic contract per class, validated after generation and before
returning. A response that fails its contract is regenerated once, then errors.
It is never returned. `pytest api/tests` exercises every rule above without an
API key or a database, because that is the point of putting them in Python.
Full detail: [`BUILD-AI-CONTAINERS.md`](spec/BUILD-AI-CONTAINERS.md) §2.

## The plant
Waterloo Road Pump Station is a three-pump wastewater station.
- Wet well `WW-101`, 07000 mm, **120 m³ per metre** of level
- Pumps `PU-301/302/303`, duty/assist/assist, ~120 L/s each against 22 m static
lift, on a **common VSD speed reference** clamped 3850 Hz
- Spill weir crest at **6000 mm**, `LSHH-102` at 5500 mm, high level alarm at
5200 mm, stop-all at 1000 mm
- Control logic runs on `openplc-runtime`; Yokogawa CI Server on `cicore1`
polls it over Modbus TCP and historises the result
**The unit trap that will catch you:** the PLC works in millimetres and litres
per second; the historian stores **percent of the weir crest** (raw mm ÷ 60) and
**m³/h**. Every conversion is recorded per tag in
[`db/seed/tags.csv`](db/seed/tags.csv), which also records — in capitals, at the
start of each description — whether a tag is **historised at all**. Field inputs
to the PLC (`%IW`/`%IX`: vibration, thermal, discharge pressure) are not
published to SCADA and have no history. An answer that trends PU-301 vibration
is fabricating data.
Source of truth for the plant: `WRPS/01-design-doc/`, `WRPS/04-plc/register-map.csv`
and `WRPS/05-scada/modbus/scada-points.csv` in the WRPS repository.

## Architecture
Everything arrives at the **same Caddy**, which terminates TLS for all four
hostnames. What differs is the gate immediately behind it. Three hostnames keep
`import authelia` — the shared AD + Duo gate this host has always used. The
operator's hostname does not: since 28 August it is matched on source IP
instead. The operator is inside the Caddy/Authelia environment; they simply take
a branch through it that Authelia does not sit on.
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
operator at cicore1 ──────►│ │
(SCADA machine, 10.0.0.21) │ Caddy │
│ (one front door, TLS) │
engineer / anyone else ───►│ │
└────────┬────────────────────────┬────────┘
│ │
ai.yokogawa.tech │ │ api. / cube. / lf.
NO import authelia│ │ import authelia
▼ ▼
@scada remote_ip 10.0.0.21 Authelia (AD + Duo)
│ │
┌────────────┴───────────┐ │
match no match │
│ │ │
/ask* ──► ai-api 403 │
else ──► ai-web ──► /ask ─────────────────► ai-api
cube ◄─────────┤
langfuse ◄─────────┘
```
**Read the left branch before relying on it.** `ai.yokogawa.tech` has no
Authelia in front of it and carries **no identity at all** — it is an IP
allowlist on a flat network. `api.yokogawa.tech` is unchanged and still fully
gated, which is why the document library lives there. Detail and rollback:
[`caddy/ai-routes.caddy`](caddy/ai-routes.caddy) and and step 6 of
[`spec/REBUILD.md`](spec/REBUILD.md).
Once a question reaches `ai-api`, the answer path is the same whichever door it
came through:
```
ai-api ──► classifier ──► one branch per class ──► contract validation ──► answer
(CHEAP_ │ │
DEPLOYMENT) ├──► Cube ──► imh (SQL Server, read-only, TDS/1433)
│ ── PENDING ──
└──► pgvector (pg-ai)
Langfuse (tracing)
```
Everything runs on `yau-sls-poc-lin001` (`10.0.0.17`), a **shared, live** Docker
host that already runs 21 containers including `openplc-runtime` — the PLC for
this demo. See [`YAU_Linux_Host_Onboarding.md`](spec/YAU_Linux_Host_Onboarding.md).
**There is no replication job and no mirror table.** `imh` is already an
isolated copy of the raw SCADA historian, so Cube queries it directly with a
read-only login. `pg-ai` holds pgvector chunks, Cube pre-aggregations, and the
equipment/tag reference data.
| Container | Stack | Networks | Public URL |
|---|---|---|---|
| `pg-ai` | `pgvector/pgvector:pg16` | `ai-internal` only | none |
| `cube` | `cubejs/cube` (pinned) | `ai-internal` + `proxy` | `cube.yokogawa.tech` |
| `cubestore` | `cubejs/cubestore` (pinned) | `ai-internal` only | none |
| `ai-api` | Python 3.12 + FastAPI | `ai-internal` + `proxy` | `api.yokogawa.tech` |
| `ai-web` | Vite build → `nginx:alpine` | `proxy` | `ai.yokogawa.tech` |
| `ai-ingest` | Python 3.12, on demand | `ai-internal` | none |
| `ai-docs-worker` | **not deployed**`--profile worker`, see below | `ai-internal` | none |
| `langfuse` + `lf-db` | official images | `ai-internal` + `proxy` | `lf.yokogawa.tech` |
**Seven of those are running.** `ai-ingest` is run on demand with `run --rm` and is not
meant to be up. `ai-docs-worker` was **never deployed**: Phase 9 shipped with the
document screens served by `ai-api` instead, and the worker sits behind a
`--profile worker` flag — see the note at `compose/ai-compose.yml:216`. Counted on the
host 2026-09-01: 28 containers, 21 of them pre-existing.

## Working on it
```bash
pytest api/tests # contracts, classifier rules, SQL allow-list. No network.
```
- **The host is live and shared.** Prefer additive changes. Snapshot config
before editing. **Announce anything that restarts Caddy or Authelia** — it
logs out every active user, including whoever is mid-demo.
- **Never restart, update or reconfigure `openplc-runtime`** as a side effect
of AI work. It is the PLC for the demo plant. Its published port 502 is the
one deliberate exception to the no-published-ports rule on this host, and it
does not generalise to anything we build.
- **Verify, don't assume.** `docker ps` showing "Up" is not proof.
- **Test every layer without the LLM first.** Prove Cube returns the right
number by hand. Prove retrieval finds the right procedure by hand. Then wire
up the agent — otherwise a wrong answer has four possible causes.
- **Do not invent schema.** Inspect, or ask.
- Fix eval failures in the classifier, Cube and ingestion — **not by adding
instructions to the prompt**. When something fails, add the failing case to
`eval/testset.jsonl` *before* fixing it.

## Known shortcuts
Deliberate, documented, and not to be shipped. Full list in
[`BUILD-AI-CONTAINERS.md`](spec/BUILD-AI-CONTAINERS.md) §14. The ones that matter most:
- Secrets in `0600` env files, not a vault
- No OT/IT firewall boundary — one flat `10.0.0.0/24` PoC network
- Modbus TCP on port 502 with no authentication or encryption, contained by
NSG/VPN scope only — **confirm the NSG does not expose it to the internet**
- Single host, no HA: `lin001` is a single point of failure for both the demo
estate and the simulated plant's PLC
- No automated backup — `pg-ai` needs adding to whatever backup exists
- Document revision metadata entered semi-manually, not integrated with
document control — Phase 9 records *who* asserted a revision, which is not the
same as knowing what the current one is
- Uploaded documents are not malware-scanned; type and size checks only
**Section 2 of the build spec must be reviewed with an OT/safety representative
before any operator sees a demo.**
