Task

Write down how to test an agent on real data, and run Experiment B round 3 by those rules.

Why

Rounds 1 and 2 concluded "a plain export answers as well as WireCat". The owner disagreed, and the setup was simpler than real use in five ways, four of them against WireCat.

What

  • docs/dev/AGENT-TESTS.md: the rules (questions as the user asks them, mixed forms, variants, the user's data scope, every contestant at its best, blind scoring, scoped conclusions); linked from README, CLAUDE.md and performance/agents/README.md.
  • performance/agents/source-coverage/README.md: round 3 totals. With the full history of 10 chats: WireCat 13.17 (0 confidently wrong) against the export 15.33, WireCat on the owner's everyday store 7.17, telegram-mcp 5.0. Variants of the same facts: export 11 of 12, WireCat 6.
  • ask.sh: contestants wf/wfh, WF_STATE; score.sh: SCORE_RULES.

Testing

pnpm docs:check, cspell, rumdl. Per-question rows are private (cli-private).

Rounds 1-2 of Experiment B were simpler than real use: clean questions naming the
chat, 10 chats, WireCat without vectors or typo-tolerant search. The page lists
the rules for questions, data, setup and scoring; README, CLAUDE.md and the agents
index link it.

Totals only; per-question rows stay in cli-private. ask.sh takes WF_STATE so the
wf store no longer shares the folder wf writes its answers to.

…earch check by chunk

The first scoring left bulk checklists to each scorer; unchanged sheets moved by up
to 1.2 points. The meaning-search check now counts a hit only when a returned chunk
holds a source message (2 of 6, not 6 of 7). Adds time, cost and tool calls.
