Re-ingested under schema v2 (populates error_snippets) and re-ran detect over 27 real sessions. Added a 'content-level root causes' section to docs/ASSESSMENT-infra-friction.md: top recurring error is Edit/Write-before-Read (12/27 sessions, 8 repos), then stale-read conflicts, a cross-flavor (claude+grok) make fix-consistency failure, and State Hub MCP instability. Documented a fingerprint-noise caveat. WP-0006 finished; suite 98/98. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Coding Session Memory — Error-Body Mining
|
|
|
|
The friction assessment ([ASSESSMENT-infra-friction.md](../docs/ASSESSMENT-infra-friction.md))
|
|
can see *that* a session was expensive (tool-mix, cost, overhead share) but not
|
|
always *why* at the content level — the specific error messages and repeated
|
|
failed approaches. The digest captures tool histograms and prompt/response
|
|
snippets, but **not error-body text**. This workplan closes that gap so Detect can
|
|
surface recurring root-cause errors, not just coarse markers.
|
|
|
|
Approach: capture **normalized error fingerprints + samples into the durable Tier 2
|
|
digest** (raw Tier 1 blobs are evictable, so mining must persist into the digest),
|
|
then cluster recurring fingerprints across sessions into candidate problem
|
|
patterns through the existing clusterer. No new capture source — this reads the
|
|
event/blob bodies already ingested.
|
|
|
|
## Capture Error-Body Snippets into the Digest
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: AGENTIC-WP-0006-T01
|
|
status: done
|
|
priority: high
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "136a0a73-61c2-4390-876c-de3880a967e6"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Extend `core/digest.py` `build_digest` to extract, from failed events
|
|
(`kind=error` and `tool_result` bodies matching the existing `_FAIL_HINTS`), a
|
|
**normalized fingerprint** (strip paths, line numbers, UUIDs, hex) plus a short
|
|
sample, stored as `digest["error_snippets"] = [{fingerprint, sample, count, tool}]`.
|
|
Same error across a session collapses to one fingerprint with a count. Durable in
|
|
Tier 2 (survives Tier 1 eviction). Bump `SCHEMA_VERSION`. Unit-tested on synthetic
|
|
sessions with repeated and varied errors.
|
|
|
|
## Recurring-Error Signal + Clustering
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: AGENTIC-WP-0006-T02
|
|
status: done
|
|
priority: high
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "1a41b6f5-48bc-4080-bd18-94f2186ef566"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add `detect/signals.py` `sig_recurring_error` keyed on the error fingerprint, so
|
|
the same error recurring across sessions/repos/flavors clusters into a candidate
|
|
problem pattern (locus = fingerprint; magnitude = occurrences). Feeds the existing
|
|
clusterer + cross-flavor flagging, so a root-cause error common to multiple flavors
|
|
is flagged cross-flavor. Respects the WP-0005 quality filter. Unit-tested on
|
|
synthetic digests sharing a fingerprint.
|
|
|
|
## Re-run Live, Extend Friction Assessment with Root Causes
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: AGENTIC-WP-0006-T03
|
|
status: done
|
|
priority: medium
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "bed16d23-3971-4257-b066-d1e639fef150"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Re-ingest (to populate `error_snippets` — schema bump invalidates old digests) and
|
|
re-run detect over the real local sessions. Add a **"content-level root causes"**
|
|
section to [ASSESSMENT-infra-friction.md](../docs/ASSESSMENT-infra-friction.md):
|
|
top recurring error fingerprints with counts and affected repos/flavors. Full suite
|
|
green. After workplan updates, notify the operator to run from `~/state-hub`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make fix-consistency REPO=agentic-resources
|
|
```
