Summary

  • Implements the first two stages of the accepted incremental-verified-delivery design (docs/verified-answer-incremental-delivery-design.md, ledger #100), improving time-to-first-useful-content without reviving token streaming.
  • Phase 0 — offline contract proof (src/lib/answer-stream-contract.ts, tests/answer-incremental-delivery.test.ts): VerifiedUnit types plus isDeliverableVerifiedUnit validation — schema version, kind allowlist, strictly-increasing per-response sequence, bounded JSON size — with tests proving rejection of token/revising shapes, zero units under a danger-level governance refusal, owner-boundary trimming (no server-only source fields cross the route), and byte-identical preview/final reconciliation at the trim layer. No new SSE event name is introduced.
  • Phase 1 — retrieval-complete evidence preview, server side, flag-gated OFF (src/lib/answer-preview.ts, src/lib/answer-progress-public.ts, src/lib/rag/rag.ts, src/lib/env.ts, .env.example): buildEvidencePreviewUnit reuses the production danger-level source-governance decision and the exact trimSourceForClient route-boundary trim (src/lib/answer-client-payload.ts, export added) — deliberately stricter than the final response's refusal, since the answer's support level is unknown at preview time. The retrieved progress event carries the unit only when RAG_INCREMENTAL_EVIDENCE_PREVIEW=true (default false); the public DTO passes it through only when it validates, dropping malformed units rather than repairing them.
  • Client rendering is NOT implemented in this pass (old clients ignore the optional field), and Phase 2 per-section generation is explicitly not attempted — it changes answer generation and is provider-gated by the design.

RAG impact: no retrieval behaviour change — retrieval, ranking, selection, generation, and the final answer payload are untouched; the only pipeline edit attaches an optional, governed, flag-gated (default off) preview field to an existing progress event.

Verification

  • npm run verify:pr-local — completed all checks with failed: (none): runtime, lock parity, format, lint, typecheck, full unit suite, build, eval:rag:offline, medication gates.
  • node scripts/run-vitest.mjs run tests/answer-incremental-delivery.test.ts — 13/13 passed (Phase 0 contract proof).
  • npm run check:production-readiness — run; fails only on the documented demo-mode provider capability gap (no Supabase/OpenAI secrets in this environment), which the readiness check itself classifies as missing env, not a code regression. No governance/privacy check regressed.
  • npm run verify:ui — UI verification not run: no client rendering was added; no UI, routing, or styling behaviour changed.
  • npm run verify:release — not run; no release-confidence claim is made.
  • npm run eval:retrieval:quality — not run: retrieval, ranking, selection, chunking, and scoring are unchanged; eval:rag:offline passed via verify:pr-local.
  • npm run eval:rag -- --limit 15 / npm run eval:quality -- --rag-only — not run: answer generation and post-processing are unchanged; the design's provider-backed gates apply to Phase 2 and to enabling emission in production, both of which are out of scope here.
  • npm run check:deployment-readiness — not run; no deployment behaviour changed.

Risk and rollout

  • Risk: Low. With the flag at its default (false) the runtime is byte-identical to main except for dead-path checks. With the flag on, the preview is bounded, governed by the same refusal as the final response (strictly more conservative), and carries only the client-trimmed source fields the final payload already exposes.
  • Rollback: Disable RAG_INCREMENTAL_EVIDENCE_PREVIEW (or revert the branch commit); no schema, stored-data, or client rollback is needed.
  • Provider or production effects: None from this PR. Per the design, staged rollout is: land contract proof → deploy client parsing → enable server emission → enable rendering for internal users, with the provider-backed acceptance gates (live eval pair, reconciliation/latency observation window) before any production enablement.

Clinical Governance Preflight

  • Source-backed claims still require linked source verification before clinical use
  • No patient-identifiable document workflow was introduced or expanded without explicit governance approval
  • Supabase target remains Clinical KB Database (sjrfecxgysukkwxsowpy)
  • Service-role keys and private document access remain server-only — proven by the new owner-boundary tests: adjacent_context, memory_cards, table_facts, document_summary, and full image objects cannot cross the stream boundary
  • Demo/synthetic content remains clearly separated from real clinical sources
  • Source metadata, review status, and outdated/unknown-source behavior remain conservative — a danger-level warning suppresses the preview entirely, stricter than the final response's refusal
  • Deployment classification/TGA SaMD impact was checked when clinical decision-support behavior changed — presentation timing only; no recommendation logic changed (the design requires SaMD reassessment before Phase 2, which is not attempted)

Notes

  • A preview is explicitly labelled non-final by contract; reconciliation failure is a server fault, never permission to revise displayed content. Raw token streaming remains excluded (token/revising still rejected at the event-name allowlist).
  • Follow-up (client phase, separate PR): parse verifiedUnit, render the "Selected evidence — answer still being verified" region behind its own rendering flag, then verify:ui.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional, disabled-by-default evidence preview during answer generation.
    • Previews include validated, client-ready sources and are suppressed when retrieval results are unsafe or unavailable.
    • Added safeguards to prevent duplicate, out-of-order, malformed, oversized, or unsupported preview updates.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved answer-stream progress handling so verified updates arrive in the correct order.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for preview validation, governance, ordering, filtering, payload limits, and default feature behavior.

… preview

Incremental verified delivery per docs/verified-answer-incremental-delivery-design.md:

- answer-stream-contract: VerifiedUnit types and isDeliverableVerifiedUnit
  (schema version, kind allowlist, strictly-increasing sequence, bounded JSON
  size); the token/revising SSE event names remain excluded.
- answer-preview: buildEvidencePreviewUnit reuses the production danger-level
  source-governance refusal and the exact route-boundary source trim; any
  danger warning suppresses the preview entirely (stricter than the final
  response, whose refusal only fires on grounded supported answers).
- answer-progress-public: optional verifiedUnit passthrough, dropped (never
  repaired) when validation fails; old clients ignore the field.
- rag.ts: the retrieved progress event carries the preview only when
  RAG_INCREMENTAL_EVIDENCE_PREVIEW=true (new env flag, default false in
  env.ts and .env.example). No new SSE event name; Phase 2 per-section
  generation is not attempted (provider-gated by design).
- tests/answer-incremental-delivery.test.ts: Phase 0 offline contract proof —
  schema/sequence validation, token/revising rejection, governance refusal
  emitting zero units, owner-boundary trimming, byte-identical preview/final
  reconciliation at the trim layer, flag-off default.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 13 minutes

Your organization has reached its usage spending cap. Adjust your spending cap in the billing tab.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

@codex resolve actionable Codex review findings for this pull request and current head using the repository instructions. This is the pull request's single automatic repair pass: do not perform a fresh review, create new standalone findings, or request another review. Work only the existing unresolved Codex threads on the current head. The only repository destination is BigSimmo/Database, and the only branch destination is the pull request head branch claude/rag-incremental-delivery-lpw15e at starting commit 31c984a; never publish fixes to a detached or synthetic work branch and never create a stacked pull request. Use the authenticated GitHub connector to commit each approved fix to BigSimmo/Database:claude/rag-incremental-delivery-lpw15e, then verify that the pull request head contains the published commit before reporting success. Always fix P0 and P1 findings. For P2 and lower findings, fix only clear, scoped, low-risk issues; otherwise disposition them with a concise reason. For a fixed thread, reply with as the first line and as the second line. For a no-code disposition, use followed by . These result markers authorize the workflow to close that exact thread only after it verifies a fixed commit is the pull request head; a local-only commit is not a fix. If publication or verification fails, do not use either result marker, do not claim success, and leave the thread open with the blocker. If human input or new authorization is required, do the same. Finish only after every actionable thread is fixed or dispositioned and closed, or explicitly left open for a human decision. Do not update the branch from main, address unrelated reviews, broaden scope, or create more than one scoped fix commit. Do not use external APIs, paid services, credentials, dependency changes, or broad refactors unless explicitly authorized. Add targeted tests where behavior changes and run the narrowest relevant validation.

Summary

  • Moved evidence-preview construction to the stream boundary after final governance and source reconciliation. The preview now derives from the authoritative final source payload, preventing fallback or extractive selection from removing sources that were already previewed. src/app/api/answer/stream/route.tsL256-L264
  • Removed the premature preview from the retrieval-complete RAG event, which previously used the broader pre-selection source set. src/lib/rag/rag.tsL2796-L2805
  • Added a response-scoped progress mapper that tracks the last accepted verified-unit sequence and rejects duplicate or out-of-order units before they cross the SSE boundary. src/lib/answer-progress-public.tsL101-L128
  • Instantiated the sequence mapper independently for each answer stream, preventing sequence state from leaking between responses. src/app/api/answer/stream/route.tsL167-L183
  • Added focused regression coverage for duplicate previews and out-of-order answer sections. tests/answer-incremental-delivery.test.tsL157-L187
  • Committed the changes on codex/pr-1909-review-fixes as 81d845579a7a2b7e1397f871f6df0fd76490a6d8.
  • Publication blocker: the repository’s authenticated GitHub connector and required make_pr tool are unavailable in this environment, while shell Git authentication also failed. Therefore, I could not publish the branch, create the follow-up PR, or truthfully mark the original review threads resolved. The local commit remains ready to publish.

  • npm run format
  • git diff --check
  • node scripts/run-vitest.mjs run tests/answer-incremental-delivery.test.ts — 14 tests passed.
