⚠️ Priority gate: this issue has no priority. Assign exactly one of P0 — critical (spine/correctness/blocks), P1 — high (material value or real defect), P2 — medium (quality/consolidation), P3 — low (measurement/deferred). An issue without a priority is not filed.

RP13: throughput/quality comparison (closes #276)

Report: docs/RP13_THROUGHPUT_REPORT.json on branch rp13-metrics.

Measured (two real runs, post-cleanup canonical path):

Metric #161 #163
Stages executed 7 (+3 CI-contract fix loops) 10 (incl. INNOVATION + REFINE round)
MiMo tool calls 101 103
External queries 4 5
Sources discovered / read w/ receipts 16 / 4 45 / 10
Contradictions / limitations captured 4 / 8 4 / 8
Adversarial attacks → survivors → rejected 16 → 6 → 1 13 → 4 → 1
Mitigations / kill-tests carried to synthesis 10 / 7 7 / 6
Refinement loops 0 1 (REFINE_SYNTHESIS, targeted)
Implementation rework 0 (merged first try) n/a (design-stage)
Wall-clock research chain ~75 min (git window 00:16→01:31, incl. live CI-defect fixes) per-stage elapsed recorded (OUTWARD→QUALIFY ≈ 28 min cognition)

Old-process baseline (recorded RSC0 evidence): foreground slept 300s×N while child MiMo was productive; receipts were model-claimed; snippets counted as evidence; no durable state across restarts (issues #245/#254/#255 each restarted from scratch).

Quality outcomes (what the pipeline PREVENTED):

  • #161: MemoryAdapter duplicate-authority rejected before coding; silent non-hybrid benchmark validation prevented (FT1); cache-pollution hazard neutralized (A4)
  • #163: external graph DB adoption blocked (3 CONFLICTS_WITH_RUNE); false bi-temporal premise corrected from code before synthesis; INN-1 falsified and corrected in synthesis v2

Cognition vs orchestration: cognition = recorded stage elapsed (101/103 tool calls; QUALIFY 310s on #161; APPLICABILITY 300s, INNOVATION 422s, SYNTHESIS 677s on #163). Orchestration/wait (runner queue, CI) excluded from pipeline cost.

KEEP / TUNE / REMOVE:

  • KEEP: unified OUTWARD w/ receipts (evidence chain held under adversarial audit), adversarial disposition contract (caught false premises on both runs), narrowed QUALIFY (caught 3 real gaps without reopening research), placement gate
  • TUNE: per-stage elapsed persistence (reconciliation zeroes earlier stages — record at advance() time); OUTWARD file-channel should be the PRIMARY documented channel (stdout parse is the fallback); prose-only stdout still costs one gate-retry
  • REMOVE: nothing further — RP11 retirement complete; no remaining competing authority

Honest data note: elapsed_s zeroed for earlier stages on #161 due to reconciliation overwrites — timing persistence at advance() is the fix (TUNE).
