Дмитрий e0a25ff629 docs(brain): spec — observer factor-analysis extension
Design for making the brain governance observer rich enough for real
factor analysis. Surfaced during a discussion with the owner: the
observer is "paper-complete" but episodes lack the data factor analysis
needs — the outcome is a hardcoded "success", there is no decision
provenance (who chose the node — Claude autonomously, or the owner
forcing a method), no environment factors, no task grouping.

4-layer architecture:
- Layer 1 — episode schema v2: decision_provenance (+ counterfactual),
  environment block, task_size, real outcome enum, task_ref.
- Layer 2 — capture: deterministic transcript parsing for all factors +
  a one-line routing tag (owner-forced-method only).
- Layer 3 — two-sided enforcement: 3a routing-gate (Stop-hook blocks the
  turn until the tag is present — unbypassable by Claude); 3b observer
  self-discipline (silent failures become recorded observer_error
  markers; coverage + registration verified by a controller).
- Layer 4 — analysis: /brain-retro infers real outcome from the next
  episode's opening prompt, groups episodes into tasks, correlates
  causal chains, builds the factor matrix.

Scope: everything except an independent agent-judge — that, plus
confusion_marker as a real judgment and real-time friction flags, is
phase 2 (separate spec).

Observer infrastructure

Passive evidence-loop for the Лидерра «brain» per ADR-011.

Files

  • episodes-YYYY-MM.jsonl — append-only JSONL, one line per Stop-event (one prompt→response turn). Written by tools/observer-stop-hook.mjs, which parses the session transcript (transcript_path) via tools/observer-transcript-parser.mjs.
  • notes/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md — optional MD notes for sessions with qualitative history.
  • STATUS.md — auto-generated dashboard. Regenerated per-commit by tools/status-md-generator.mjs.
  • .read-counter.json — C3 observer-of-observer counter. Updated on Read of observer files.

Lifecycle

  1. Write: every Stop-event appends one JSONL line, parsed from the session transcript (Stop-hook).
  2. Aggregate: /brain-retro skill reads JSONL each sprint, proposes regulatory candidates.
  3. Surface: STATUS.md shows controllers + monthly stats.
  4. Self-prune: C3 warns if 54 weeks pass without any read of observer files.

Privacy

PII filter (phone numbers, emails, tokens) is applied before every write — see tools/observer-pii-filter.mjs. gitleaks pre-push also scans observer files as part of full-history sweep.

Don't

  • Don't edit episodes-*.jsonl manually — it's append-only.
  • Don't write outside docs/observer/notes/ for hand-curated notes.
  • Don't change .read-counter.json manually — it's maintained by hooks.

HK1 pre-check (Pravila ADR-010) — verified 2026-05-19

Before registering tools/observer-stop-hook.mjs on Stop event (Task B5), verified collision against 6-component economy/skill-discipline architecture:

  • User-level ~/.claude/settings.json already has Stop hook: agent-type Sonnet-4.6 economy compliance verifier (analyzes transcript for claim-without-evidence violations).
  • Project-level .claude/settings.json — Stop slot empty.

Result: no overwrite. observer-stop-hook will be added as command-type entry in project-level Stop array. Project + user scopes are independent slots in Claude Code 2.x — both run on the same Stop event without conflict. The agent verifier (user scope) and the JSONL appender (project scope) have non-overlapping responsibilities.
