remove the session’s receipt on every call, including neutral-input early
returns; only submit an outcome when that immediate query contains an explicit
marker. Preserve one receipt per session via _pending_receipts and add a
regression test covering a neutral turn followed by an explicit turn without a
newer context pack.

Thank you for this contribution - you found a real gap. The prefetch path indeed requests no receipt and records no outcome, so the context-pack outcome ledger stays empty even when recall is injected, and the shape of your fix (receipt per session, outcome closed only on explicit feedback, neutral turns left unknown) is exactly the right instinct. The test coverage for the neutral case is appreciated too. One part of the approach we cannot merge as is: The language-abstract shape we would accept: do not infer the outcome from raw turn text in the provider at all. Language understanding belongs to the calling agent, not the host-side bridge - so the provider should close an outcome only from an explicit structured signal (for example, a dedicated bridge call or a structured field the agent sets when the user explicitly confirms or corrects), and keep every unsignaled turn unknown, exactly as your neutral case already does. Two smaller notes for the same revision, if you take it:
Two ways forward, both fine with us: rework the detection into the structured-signal shape above and we will gladly review again - or, if you prefer, just say so and we will take the branch from here and finish it in that direction, keeping your commit as the base. Thanks again for surfacing the empty-ledger gap. |

@Yori940619，确认。当前 post 请求缺少 sample_id 或 first_pass_success 时，live handler 会返回 INVALID_PARAMS，因此不会产生不完整的 outcome 记录。
Hermes 静态 schema 必须与 live tools/list 保持一致。仅修改 plugins/hermes/_schemas.py 会导致 anti-drift 失败。该 schema 合同对齐应在 O2B core 的后续变更中同时更新 live schema、vendored schema 和测试。

Prefetch's recall goes back to one lane, `brain_context_pack`, and now carries the turn on it: `query` plus `query_mode: "ranked"`, so the curated candidates are ordered by relevance to the prompt instead of being injected query-blind. The diagnosis behind the previous shape was right - a query-blind pack on every gated turn is a real defect - but raw `brain_search` bought query-awareness by leaving the only path that runs `guardBrainContextSnippet`, enumerates the preference directory rather than post-filtering a ranker, drops tombstoned and superseded pages, honours owner-scope delivery, enforces a token budget with named skip reasons, and issues an auditable receipt. Ranked mode puts the query inside that path, so none of it is traded away. What follows from the lane being singular: - The sample id is the server-issued `receipt_id` again, never a locally hashed `hermes-search-<sha256>`. An id with no receipt behind it makes every outcome the agent posts resolve `unresolved / sample_absent` forever, which quietly undid what itechmeat#179 shipped one release earlier. The metadata marker returns to `[O2B context-pack metadata]`. - `_search_sample_id`, `_search_text`, and `_recall_body` are deleted with the `hashlib` import and the prefetch sequence counter that only existed to feed the fabricated id. `_recall_body` could not work as designed: search `content` is a 600-char ellipsized window, so the frontmatter it hunted for was usually not in the string, and when a body line happened to start `principle:` it returned that line alone and threw the note away. A regression test pins a plain note through. - The local character budget is gone. `_PREFETCH_MAX_TOKENS` is a TOKEN budget the server enforces against the bodies it emits; spending it in Python at four bytes per token over-injected by two to four times on Cyrillic and CJK vaults, and cut the joined output mid-string with no marker. Pinned for both scripts. - Degradations name themselves. The pack's own `warnings` - injection- time tension warnings, the owner-scope observation - are logged instead of discarded, and a gated turn that recalls nothing says so rather than passing for a healthy injection. - `handle_tool_call`'s correlation defaults are scoped to `operation == "post"`. `host` and `session_id` are also read filters on `list`/`summary`, so defaulting them there silently narrowed an agent's query to this host's rows. Kept from the previous shape: the `brain_recall_gate` enrichment (`telemetry_host`, `session_id`, `turn_id`), and preference-first ordering, which the pack lane provides structurally by walking the preference directory. The three itechmeat#179 regression pins now assert which lane ran: `FakeBrainBridge` answers `{}` for an unregistered tool, so a pin that only reads the output could keep passing while the provider recalled through something else entirely.

* fix(hermes): make prefetch recall query-aware * feat(brain): ranked query mode on the context-pack lane `brain_context_pack` accepted a `query`, but read it as a case-insensitive SUBSTRING match of the whole string against `topic + principle`. Handing that argument a natural-language turn `filter-miss`ed every candidate and returned an empty pack, which is why a query-aware Hermes prefetch looked like it had to leave the lane for raw `brain_search` - and lose the containment guard, the curated preference pool, the tombstone and supersession-tip filters, owner-scope delivery, the enforced token budget, and the server-issued receipt that only exist here. The seam is inside the lane, at the `filter-miss` branch. `query_mode: "ranked"` takes the query out of the filter and into the sort: the already-collected candidates are ORDERED by structural token overlap - the same deterministic, stopword-free, language-agnostic kernel `matchRatedDecisions` ranks with, so it needs no model and no embedding and works on an install that has never indexed a vector - and none is excluded. Relevance sits between session focus and density in the comparator, under tier: a bound focus is a standing operator-established target and still dominates, density is a static content heuristic an explicit per-call query outranks, and a peripheral page never outranks a core one. The budget, not a lexical accident, then decides what is dropped, and every other property of the lane is inherited untouched. An omitted `query_mode` is byte-identical to every release before this one, pinned by a test. The mode requires a query: the schema states the pairing as `dependentRequired` and the handler refuses a mode with nothing to read rather than accepting a silent no-op. The prompt-prefix segment carries the mode only when the caller named one, so an unnamed mode keeps the prefix hash it had. Also fixed in passing: the tool discarded `report.warnings`. The core computes injection-time tension warnings and the owner-scope observation, `brain_pre_compress_pack` has forwarded them all along, and the one surface that puts vault text in front of a model every turn was the one that could not say a memory it injected is contested. Absent when empty, so a warning-free pack stays byte-identical. `plugins/hermes/_schemas.py` is re-vendored for the changed `brain_context_pack` schema, regenerated from a live `o2b mcp` `tools/list` rather than hand-edited.

The diagnosis behind the previous shape was right - a query-blind pack on every gated turn is a real defect - but raw `brain_search` bought query-awareness by leaving the only path that runs `guardBrainContextSnippet`, enumerates the preference directory rather than post-filtering a ranker, drops tombstoned and superseded pages, honours owner-scope delivery, enforces a token budget with named skip reasons, and issues an auditable receipt. Ranked mode puts the query inside that path, so none of it is traded away. What follows from the lane being singular: - The sample id is the server-issued `receipt_id` again, never a locally hashed `hermes-search-<sha256>`. An id with no receipt behind it makes every outcome the agent posts resolve `unresolved / sample_absent` forever, which quietly undid what #179 shipped one release earlier. The metadata marker returns to `[O2B context-pack metadata]`. - `_search_sample_id`, `_search_text`, and `_recall_body` are deleted with the `hashlib` import and the prefetch sequence counter that only existed to feed the fabricated id. `_recall_body` could not work as designed: search `content` is a 600-char ellipsized window, so the frontmatter it hunted for was usually not in the string, and when a body line happened to start `principle:` it returned that line alone and threw the note away. A regression test pins a plain note through. - The local character budget is gone. `_PREFETCH_MAX_TOKENS` is a TOKEN budget the server enforces against the bodies it emits; spending it in Python at four bytes per token over-injected by two to four times on Cyrillic and CJK vaults, and cut the joined output mid-string with no marker. Pinned for both scripts. - Degradations name themselves. The pack's own `warnings` - injection- time tension warnings, the owner-scope observation - are logged instead of discarded, and a gated turn that recalls nothing says so rather than passing for a healthy injection. - `handle_tool_call`'s correlation defaults are scoped to `operation == "post"`. `host` and `session_id` are also read filters on `list`/`summary`, so defaulting them there silently narrowed an agent's query to this host's rows. Kept from the previous shape: the `brain_recall_gate` enrichment (`telemetry_host`, `session_id`, `turn_id`), and preference-first ordering, which the pack lane provides structurally by walking the preference directory. The three #179 regression pins now assert which lane ran: `FakeBrainBridge` answers `{}` for an unregistered tool, so a pin that only reads the output could keep passing while the provider recalled through something else entirely.

The entry credits @Yori940619 and #181 for the diagnosis - query-blind prefetch recall - and for the preference-first idea, and states plainly that the mechanism was redesigned into the pack lane so the guard, the budget, owner scope, and the receipts are inherited rather than bypassed.

Summary
The Hermes provider currently calls
brain_recall_gateandbrain_context_packduringprefetch, but does not request a context receipt or record a later outcome. This leaves the O2B context-pack outcome ledger empty even when recall is actually injected.This patch:
