@Vasanthdev2004 @anandh8x — review please, whenever suits. Companion to #908; together they are item 3 from Vasanth's suggested order on #829. 414 lines, new package, independent of the #891/#897 stack — builds and tests against current Two things worth your eye specifically: The 50% tolerance is a deliberate under-catch. A tripwire that cries wolf gets switched off and then catches nothing, so it errs toward silence: ordinary run-to-run variation passes, No importers in this PR, by design — All checks green. |

Reviewed at fa682a34. Thanks for pulling this out of #829, it is exactly the shape I was asking for and it reviews in one sitting.
The idea is good and the package doc argues its own case well, including the line that decides the severity below: a tripwire that cries wolf gets turned off, and then it catches nothing. That is the failure mode here.
An honest report gets flagged as a fabrication when one name is a prefix of another
claimedSecondsFor locates the ledger name with strings.Index(line, name), a raw substring search with no boundary check, and takes the first duration after it. go test -v always prints the parent line above its subtests and ParseGoTest records both, so the ledger routinely holds a name that is a strict prefix of another.
Ran all three of these against the real Ledger:
honest subtest claim -> [{Name:TestZZParent Claimed:0.02 Recorded:[1.22]}]
honest package claim -> [{Name:.../internal/agent Claimed:1.66 Recorded:[35.58]}]
honest "1m10s" claim -> [{Name:TestSlow Claimed:10 Recorded:[70]}]
The first is a subtest reporting its own recorded duration and being told it made the number up. The second needs no subtests at all: internal/agent is a prefix of internal/agentinit, and this repo has several such pairs (providers and providerio, and others). The third is the separate 1m10s problem below.
A boundary check on both sides of the match, preferring the longest ledger name that matches, fixes the first two.
A duration with a minute component is read as its seconds remainder
claimedDuration is ([0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?)\s*(ms|s)\b with no minute unit, and nothing anchors the match to the start of the token. So 1m10s fails on 1m, the scan advances, and 10s wins. A truthful restatement of a recorded 70 seconds is reported as a conflict, and worse, the nudge then quotes 10s back at the model, a number its answer never contained. Anything over a minute is common in this repo's own suite.
Why the tests do not see either
The fixture at measurements_test.go:9-17 has --- PASS: TestNested/subcase (0.02s) with no parent line above it, which is not a shape go test -v ever emits. Add the parent line that git would really print and the honest sub-centisecond case at line 77 starts failing. That one omission is what hides the whole class.
Whatever else changes, a test here needs to be built from output a real go test -v run produced, not from a hand-trimmed sample, because the trimming is where the bug lives.
One coordination note
internal/measurements/measurements.go and its test are byte-identical in this PR and in #908, and neither branch is an ancestor of the other. Whichever lands second conflicts, and a squash merge could quietly duplicate or revert. Either base #908 on this one, or drop the two files from it.
Scope, in your favour
I checked before weighting any of the above: nothing imports internal/measurements yet. So none of this is hurting anyone today, and I would not have blocked a live regression this politely. Getting it right before the orchestration work adopts it is the cheap moment.

The latest update fixes whole-token matching and compound minute durations, but two correctness issues still undermine the measurement check:
-
[P1] Preserve measurement provenance/variant.
Ledger.Recordaccepts only output text and storesmap[name][]seconds, losing command, arguments, cwd, and run variant. Timings from ordinary,-race, benchmark, or otherwise different invocations are therefore interchangeable; a report can swap/misattribute columns and still pass becauseConflictsaccepts a claim matching any recorded value. Record enough provenance to associate a claimed result with the run it describes, or explicitly represent/report distinct variants instead of pooling them. -
[P2] Do not permanently suppress every later contradiction for a name. After the first conflict,
raised[name]prevents all future checks for that measurement—even a distinct incorrect correction. I reproduced recordingTestFoo 0.10s, checking a4.20sclaim, then checking a9.90scorrection: the second call returned no conflict. Dedupe the specific(name, claimed value)warning (or bound retries at the caller) rather than permanently disabling validation for that name.
The package tests pass under the race detector on 9e96536.

@Vasanthdev2004 @anandh8x — re-review please. All findings closed, CI green, and each fix is mutation-verified (revert it, the test fails). Across the three PRs this round you found six real bugs and I have not argued with any of them:
Two things worth reading before the code, because they are the ones I would want a second opinion on: #909's fixture. You were right that the trimming was where the bug lived. I regenerated it from a real #897's error handling. Both findings there came from my earlier fix for "errors reported as absence" overshooting. The corrected shape is: absence is silent, failures are carried, and neither is allowed to destroy a readable result. If that principle is wrong anywhere else in these tools, it will be wrong the same way, so it is worth checking against your own sense of it rather than just the three call sites. No rush on any of them — #908 and #909 are independent of the stack, and all three are still unreferenced by any caller, so nothing here is live. |

Re-reviewed at 00d307fc. All three are closed and closed properly.
The prefix collision is gone, and I checked both shapes that bit before: an honest subtest claim and an honest internal/agentinit claim against a recorded internal/agent both come back with no conflicts, while a genuinely fabricated subtest claim is still caught. 1m10s reads as 70 seconds. And the fixture now carries the parent line above the indented subtest, which is the shape go test -v actually emits and whose absence was hiding the whole class.
One new thing, from the fix for the minute unit.
A minute figure later on the line beats the seconds figure next to the name
parseClaimedDuration runs the minute pattern over the whole tail first and returns on any hit, only falling through to the s/ms pattern when the tail holds no minute form anywhere. So it does not read "the first duration in tail" the way its comment says; it reads the first minute-form duration anywhere in the tail.
"TestChattyChild took 0.86s (package total 1m20s)"
-> [{Name:TestChattyChild Claimed:80 Recorded:[0.86]}]
That is a truthful sentence. TestChattyChild really did take 0.86s and the package really did take 1m20s, and the nudge now tells the model its answer said 80s about a test its answer said 0.86s about. Same failure class as the one just fixed: the tripwire cries wolf, and a tripwire that cries wolf gets turned off.
Picking whichever pattern matches earliest, rather than minute-first, fixes it. FindStringSubmatchIndex on both and prefer the minute form only when it starts no later than the seconds form. I checked that keeps the legitimate cases, including 1m10s (was 65s) where the minute form genuinely comes first.
Being precise about the reach, because I checked rather than assumed: of the three shapes I tried, only the parenthetical-total one reproduces through Conflicts. A table row and a two-clause sentence both came back clean, so this is narrower than it first looks. It is still the most natural way anyone writes a per-test timing next to a package total.
TestAMinuteDurationIsReadWhole only exercises minute-first tails, which is why the suite is green. A case with an s/ms figure ahead of a minute figure is what would have caught it.
Scope, unchanged from last time
Nothing imports internal/measurements yet, so none of this is firing in the product. Same reason I am raising it now rather than after the orchestration work adopts it.

Re-reviewed at 66fcdca3. The minute-ordering problem is closed, and I checked the three shapes that produced it plus the two that had to keep working:
"TestChattyChild took 0.86s (package total 1m20s)" -> []
"| TestChattyChild | 0.86s | 1m20s total |" -> []
"TestChattyChild took 0.86s, TestSlow took 1m20s." -> []
"TestSlow took 1m10s." -> []
"TestSlow took 1m10s (was 65s)" -> []
The earlier prefix collision stays closed at the same time, both for a subtest against its parent and for internal/agentinit against a recorded internal/agent, and a genuinely fabricated claim is still caught. That last check is the one worth keeping, since every fix in this package moves in the direction of accusing less.
Also good: the follow-up test now asserts the parent's own duration rather than only the subtest's, which was the vacuous half I mentioned but did not block on.
Approving. This package is going to be load-bearing for whether a report can be trusted, and it now behaves like something that has been argued with.

The latest parent-fixture, prefix-boundary, minute-duration, and nearest-duration fixes are correct. Three correctness issues remain:
-
[P1] Bound each parsed duration to its own measurement clause.
claimedSecondsForscans the entire remainder of a line after a matched name. I recordedTestFoo=0.10sandTestBar=4.20s, then checked the truthful lineTestFoo passed; TestBar took 4.20s; it produced a fabricated conflict forTestFooby borrowingTestBar's duration. -
[P1] Preserve run provenance/variant.
Recordaccepts only output text and pools values inmap[name][]seconds, losing command, arguments, cwd, and variants such as ordinary versus-race. A claim labelled as the normal run can silently borrow a race-run value because matching any pooled value is accepted. -
[P2] Do not permanently disable validation after one warning.
raised[name]suppresses every later contradiction for that name. RecordingTestFoo=0.10s, checking4.20s, then checking the distinct bad correction9.90sreports only the first conflict. Dedupe the specific warning/value, or bound retries at the caller.
The package tests pass under the race detector on 66fcdca.

@anandh8x @Vasanthdev2004 — all three fixed, head 1. A duration belongs to the name beside it. Exactly your case: 2. Provenance. It also needed a second entry point, and I want your view on the split. A final answer summarises several commands, so the loop cannot say which run any number came from; holding each to one run would accuse the model of inventing a figure another of its own commands really printed. So 3. Repeated validation. Keyed on the claimed value too, so a second, differently wrong number is reported while re-reading the same answer still says nothing — which is all the dedupe was for. All three mutation-checked: unbinding the clause, pooling the runs, and suppressing by name alone each fail the test that covers them. |

…ge parses
CodeRabbit's finding on the current head, verified before changing anything.
separatorBreaksClause locates the next duration to decide whether a separator
introduces a new subject, and it knew the seconds and minute patterns but not the
hour one added a commit earlier. So it read the "h" of "9h" as the first letter
of a new subject, turned the punctuation into a clause boundary, and cut the
test's own number away from its name:
"TestVerySlow - 9h" missed
"TestVerySlow passed - 9h" missed
"TestVerySlow (9h)" missed
"TestVerySlow: 9h" missed
"TestVerySlow took 9h" caught, because no separator was involved
A duration this package can PARSE has to be one this scan can SEE, or the two
disagree about where a clause ends — and the disagreement is silent, because the
answer it produces is the same shape as an honest bound.
Both bounds still hold: an hour figure belonging to another subject
("…passed - the whole suite took 9h") stays that subject's, and a truthful
1h10m0s restatement of a recorded 4200s is not a conflict.
NOT DONE, with the reason. The review also asked for a real ParseGoTest call site
from internal/agent or internal/specialist to clear an unreachable-function
finding. ParseGoTest is called by Record at measurements.go:213, and the
integration that calls Record lives in Gitlawb#829 — this split branch deliberately has
no caller, which is the same for Run.key and Run.Label. Adding one here to quiet
a reachability scan would put the wiring in the wrong PR.
Mutation-checked: dropping the hour pattern from the scan misses all four
separator spellings again.

## "1.5m" read as five minutes
The minute and hour components accepted integers only, so neither pattern could
match at the digit the number starts on. The leftmost match began after the
decimal point instead:
"took 1.5m" -> 300s (want 90)
"took 0.5m" -> 300s (want 30) half a minute read as five
"took 1.5h" -> 18000s (want 5400)
"took 10.25h" -> 90000s (want 36900) ten and a quarter hours read as
twenty-five
This is the failure this package exists to prevent, occurring inside its own
parser. A model that truthfully restated a recorded 90s as "1.5m" was reported
as contradicting the transcript, and the nudge quoted 300s back at it — a number
nothing in the run ever produced. The file already carries two comments about
exactly this shape of mistake, one for minutes and one for hours.
compoundPart parses with ParseFloat, so the fraction only had to be allowed into
the capture for the match to start where the number does. The word boundary that
keeps "1.5ms" out of the minute pattern is unchanged, and the positional rule
that makes "took 0.86s (package total 1m20s)" read 0.86 is unaffected.
## A zero-value Ledger panicked on its first Record
The nil receiver is handled; a Ledger that was declared rather than constructed
got past that guard and panicked with "assignment to entry in nil map". Both
maps are now allocated lazily, which costs nothing on the NewLedger path where
they are already non-nil.
Both mutation-checked. Restoring the integer-only minute pattern reports the
honest 1.5m and 0.5m claims as conflicts at Claimed:300, and reads a fabricated
4.5m as 300 rather than 270 — the regression asserts the reported value, not
merely that something was reported, because a whole read and a lucky one are
otherwise indistinguishable. Removing the lazy allocation panics.
Unrelated to this change, in this environment:
TestRunDoctorFormatsRedactedProviderDiagnostics and
TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider exit 3 here and on the merge-base.
TestResolveSandboxEnabledIgnoredFromProviderCommand failed once under full-suite
load and passes 3/3 in isolation; internal/config has no dependency path to
internal/measurements, so this change cannot reach it.

…just a record Reported by @jatmn, and it is a hole in my own previous fix rather than a new defect. That fix made a declared-but-not-constructed Ledger survive Record by initialising the two maps Record touches. It left `raised` nil. Only Conflicts and ConflictsAcrossRuns write that map, and they write it exclusively on the contradiction path — the dedupe that stops the same wrong number being reported twice — so nothing in the Record path could reach it. The test I wrote could not catch this. It asked an AGREEING claim: ledger.Conflicts(Run{}, "TestSomething took 1.25s") // against a recorded 1.25s which returns early with no conflict and never reaches the write. A contradicting claim panics: var ledger Ledger ledger.Record(Run{}, "--- PASS: TestSomething (1.25s)\n") ledger.Conflicts(Run{}, "TestSomething took 99s") -> panic: assignment to entry in nil map Centralised into ensureMaps rather than adding a third `if` beside the other two. The field list now sits beside NewLedger's, so a fourth map added later is a visible omission in one place instead of a panic in whichever entry point forgot it — this is the second time these lists have drifted apart. TestAZeroValueLedgerSurvivesAContradiction covers both conflict entry points and also asserts the dedupe actually works, since that is what `raised` is for. Honest note on the mutation checks: removing `raised` from ensureMaps panics the new test, so the real defect is covered. Removing the ensureMaps call from ConflictsAcrossRuns does NOT fail anything — neither conflict path can write `raised` without data having been recorded first, and Record initialises. Those two calls are defence-in-depth for a future entry point, not independently reachable today. Origin-Session: local-c962d7 | Claude Code | 5 prompts Origin-Snapshot: 3bb420a0a97b
determinism assertion @Vasanthdev2004's three remaining points. His blocking finding — a zero-value Ledger panicking on l.raised — was already closed at 0c1b1bc and is confirmed still closed: a declared Ledger now survives a CONTRADICTORY claim through both Conflicts and ConflictsAcrossRuns, which is the path an agreeing claim never reaches. ## The determinism assertion was vacuous by construction He was right that it looked armed and was not. The merge walked its runs in Go map order, so "identical between identical passes" could only be asserted about something that had no stable order to compare. sort.Strings on the merge keys gives it one, and TestTheRunOrderTheMergeWalksIsStable now fails without it — the key comes back as a real run key instead of the expected first one. ## A neighbouring number charged to this test "The subject rule charges a neighbouring number to the current test whenever the subject follows its number rather than preceding it." Reproduced: six ordinary report shapes, all mis-charged — TestFoo passed; 4.20s was the whole suite. TestFoo passed - 4.20s was the package total TestFoo passed | 4.20s for the whole package TestFoo ok: 4.20s across every package TestFoo passed (4.20s for the suite) TestFoo was fine, 4.20s covered every package The clause scan looked for a word BEFORE the figure and never after it, so a figure whose subject trails it read as belonging to the test named earlier. It now scans the figure's own segment on both sides. Removing the trailing half mis-charges all six. The presentation forms still read, which is what stopping at the end of the figure's own segment buys: "| TestFoo | 9.90s | passes |" and "TestFoo passed, 9.90s. The suite took 34.249s." both still catch a fabricated 9.90s. Cutting at the first word instead would have silenced them. ## An "m" that is not minutes "TestParseCorpus handled 5m rows in 0.86s" read the count of rows as five minutes and accused a truthful report of claiming 300s — the one failure this package must never produce. A compound form ("1m10s") cannot be a count, and a bare figure with nothing after it ("took 2m", "(9h)") has no noun to count, so the bare-figure-plus-word shape is the whole ambiguity. An ambiguous token now yields nothing rather than a second-choice reading: reaching past it to a later figure would answer the same question by guessing. The cost is stated plainly in the code — "TestSlow took 2m to finish" is now unreadable, which is the safe direction for this package. The clause scan refuses exactly what the parser refuses, or the two disagree about where a clause ends. TestTheClauseScanRefusesWhatTheParserRefuses pins that agreement and catches its own mutation on four inputs. Four mutations, each caught by the test written for it: widening the minute pattern past its word boundary, dropping the merge sort, removing the trailing subject scan (6 cases), and disabling the bare-unit ambiguity guard (4 cases). Rebased onto ad34dc8. Pre-existing here and on main: TestRunDoctorFormatsRedactedProviderDiagnostics and TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider exit 3 in this environment.

… subjects @jatmn's six findings, taken at the two root causes he named rather than as six phrase-specific patches. Three are closed at the root; two are not, and this message says which and why rather than implying six. ## Closed: a duration is read whole or refused (F1) Three unanchored regexes each hunted for their own suffix with no shared left boundary, so a failed outer match restarted inside the same token. Measured before: .86s -> 86s 1,200ms -> 0.2s .5m -> 300s 1m10ms -> 0.01s 1h1m500ms -> 0.5s Every one turns an honest claim into a fabricated correction, which is the single failure this package exists to prevent. One scanner now recognises a token whole or not at all, with explicit left and right boundaries, and BOTH callers use it — parseClaimedDuration and the clause scan. They were separate heuristics, so a token the parser refused could still bound a clause; the two disagreeing about what a duration is was its own defect class. Ambiguity is still silence rather than a second-best reading. ## Closed: every timed mention is checked (F4) claimedSecondsFor returned at its first successful occurrence, so an agreeing mention shielded every later one: "TestFoo took 1.00s; TestFoo later took 9.00s" reported nothing against a recorded 1s. Extraction now returns every value and the caller compares, which is why "later" needs no special case. Per-value dedupe applies within a call as well as across calls, so repeated equivalent spellings are one finding and two distinct wrong values are two. ## Closed: a package is a measurement subject (F5) The unrecorded-neighbour guard knew test-shaped names but recognised packages only when that exact package had been recorded, so a truthful "github.com/x/first passed github.com/x/unrecorded took 4.20s" charged the neighbour's figure backwards. Both classes now live in the same subject layer. ## NOT closed: threshold ownership (F3) "TestQuick stayed under the 10s timeout and completed in 0.86s" still reports 10s. A clause carrying two durations is now ambiguous, which fixes the wordings where both figures share a clause — "well under the 10s budget" and "against a 5s baseline" are silent now. It does not fix this one, because " and " is already a clause separator, so the two figures are in DIFFERENT clauses and the first clause owns the threshold before any ambiguity rule sees it. Fixing it properly means the clause boundary and the ownership model have to be decided together, which is exactly the single model jatmn asked for and is more than this change carries. Reported rather than patched. ## NOT closed: postfix qualifiers (F6) "TestFoo passed, 9.90s elapsed" still reports nothing where the same sentence without "elapsed" is caught. I implemented the suggested fix — recognise a subject rather than any letter, using the same measurement-name layer — and it reopened the case that check exists for. All six following-subject tests failed: "TestFoo passed; 4.20s was the whole suite." went back to charging the suite's figure to the test. That is a FALSE ACCUSATION where the current behaviour is only a miss, so it was reverted. "the whole suite" and "elapsed" are both ordinary words. Separating them by vocabulary is the qualifier allowlist jatmn explicitly ruled out and would reopen at the next synonym. Closing this needs an ownership model reading structure rather than words; the code now says so where the check lives. ## Housekeeping Six symbols died with the three regexes — claimedDuration, claimedMinuteDuration, claimedHourDuration, bareUnitIsAmbiguous, startsFirst, compoundPart — plus the scalar claimedSecondsFor. All removed, and make lint-static run BEFORE pushing this time: 0 issues. That obsolete-helper lint failure is what broke Windows CI on Gitlawb#911. Three mutations, each caught by its own test: dropping the left boundary accuses 2 honest claims, returning at the first mention breaks 4 mention cases, and demoting package paths mis-charges the neighbour's figure. Rebased onto ad34dc8, 0 behind. go test -race ./internal/measurements/ -count=3: clean. Pre-existing here and on main: TestRunDoctorFormatsRedactedProviderDiagnostics and TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider exit 3 in this environment.

Self-review of requested-change fixes at 939c2e18c59631417c5c5d1bf14ef5baadee4616, based on current main 6937a309cf00825572210a7610a1f3ea8b74c2f9.
All three scoped findings are addressed:
- Package cache markers suppress timing evidence independently of the status token, while still requiring the exact package identity. The FAIL-cached and other-status fixtures previously admitted zero-second evidence and falsely contradicted a truthful report; they now remain silent. These are explicitly defensive fixtures: Go 1.26.6's own test documentation says it caches successful package results, so I am not presenting a FAIL-cached fixture as a real cmd/go capture.
- The existing duration-role check now recognizes maximum/minimum bounds and the
less thancomparative in the same path. All four reviewed false accusations reproduced before the fix; each now stays silent while a paired explicit 9-second fabrication still produces a conflict. Existing ownership and ambiguity tests remain unchanged in behavior. Recordreturns an opaque immutableRecordedRunhandle plus its count, andConflictsconsumes that handle. Reusing argv or changing the command directory cannot redirect lookup to a different run. There are no production consumers of this internal package yet, so the API and its fixtures were updated together. Reused builders, separate recorded commands, zero/foreign handles, and preserved nudge attribution are covered. An isolated test on the old head reproduced the mutation bug: zero conflicts instead of one.
Formatting, full vet/tests, focused race tests (three runs), release build/smoke, govulncheck, Windows test compilation, and diff hygiene passed. Advisory lint reports the same four untouched mainline findings. All 24 prior patches remained equivalent through rebase.
No third-party integration or dependency change. No evidence-backed defects found in the reviewed fix scope. Native Windows execution was not performed locally; remote CI and independent review must cover this new head. This is a self-review, not an independent approval.

Re-reviewed at 939c2e18. Both of mine are closed, two of jatmn's three are closed, and I drove all of it through Record and Conflicts rather than reading it. One of his three is where I have to keep this open.
Closed, and driven
The cache marker (his A, my second). Any package-level output line whose second field is the package and any later field is (cached) now voids the evidence, whatever the status token. Both directions, one planted TestX at 0s plus a package pass at 0.012s:
ok p (cached) recorded=0 accuses a 5s claim: no
FAIL p (cached) recorded=0 accuses a 5s claim: no
ok p (cached) coverage:... recorded=0 accuses a 5s claim: no
ok p 0.012s (fresh) recorded=2 accuses a 5s claim: yes
FAIL p 0.012s (fresh) recorded=2 accuses a 5s claim: yes
The handle (his C). Record returns an identity and Conflicts keys on it. Mutating the builder's Args after Record no longer loses the lookup (1 conflict, as before the mutation), a zero handle and a handle from another ledger select nothing, and ConflictsAcrossRuns is unaffected.
The threshold on the claim path (my first). A clause carrying only a bound now yields no claim: "has a 10s maximum" and "finished in less than 10s" are silent against a recorded 0.86s.
Open: the role question is still a word list
The four forms jatmn named all pass now. I put eight unlisted phrasings beside them, every one a truthful sentence about a test that really took 0.86s, and six of the eight get the fabricated correction this package exists to prevent:
TestX is capped at 10s; it took 0.86s. claimed=10 recorded=[0.86]
TestX has a 10s ceiling and took 0.86s. claimed=10 recorded=[0.86]
TestX must not exceed 10s; it took 0.86s. claimed=10 recorded=[0.86]
TestX finished in no more than 10s. claimed=10 recorded=[0.86]
TestX is allowed 10s and took 0.86s. claimed=10 recorded=[0.86]
TestX is limited to 10s; it took 0.86s. claimed=10 recorded=[0.86]
("within" and "upper bound" stay silent.) The reason is visible at the two ends of the claim path. durationHasThresholdContext looks at the one word beside the duration and asks whether it is on a list: nine nouns, under/within/below, at most, less than, <noun> is/was/of. "capped" and "limited" are the verb forms of two nouns that are on it, "exceed", "allowed" and "ceiling" are not on it at all, and "no more than" is one word away from "less than". At the other end, parseClaimedDuration takes the first duration in the clause with no cue of any kind, so a duration is a claim by default and stops being one only when the list says so.
The comment in claimedSecondsAllFor a few lines above the call already says why that cannot hold: "Deliberately NOT a 'timeout' keyword exception: the same structure arrives as deadlines, limits, budgets, targets and baselines, and a word list would reopen the class at the next synonym." That is the right rule, and durationHasThresholdContext is the word list it describes.
I know jatmn scoped speculative phrase lists out of this round, and these are not that: they are the class his root-cause paragraph names, and his own sentence about it was that fixing the forms without a role model "will trade one false accusation for another". That is what the six lines above are. The package's contract says a false accusation is worse than a miss, and base cannot make any of these accusations, so each one is new.
The ask, and it is an inversion rather than more words
Make a duration a claim only when something affirmatively says it is the elapsed result: "took 0.86s", "in 0.86s" after a completion verb, "(0.86s)" directly after the name, "0.86s elapsed". Anything else is silence. That puts the default on the side the contract wants, deletes the bound vocabulary rather than growing it, and every line above goes quiet without being named, because none of them contains an elapsed cue for 10s. It is the same shape as the two-duration rule already in that function: ownership has to be asserted, not inferred from proximity.
Keeping request changes for that alone. A and C are done and I will not reopen them; when B is a cue instead of a list I will re-run the fourteen strings and approve.

Self-review of the remaining duration-role fix at ce52b3f9a59e50dc5ff4d78df54e5e8353416ecf, based on current main 6937a309cf00825572210a7610a1f3ea8b74c2f9.
Claim extraction no longer treats a nearby duration as an elapsed result by default or depends on an expanding threshold vocabulary. The threshold-word helper and its conjunction exception are removed. Emission now requires an affirmative name-owned result role: directly bound took D, an evidenced completion verb followed by in D, established punctuation-owned result layouts, or structurally owned D elapsed.
All six truthful bound sentences from the latest review reproduced as false conflicts before this change and are silent now. Paired wrong-9s controls still produce one conflict. Added negated, hypothetical, nonlocal, and quoted/code-example controls also stay silent. Name-only Markdown/quote formatting remains a valid subject, distinguished from quoting the entire assertion. The existing duration parser remains the single token-validity authority, retaining supported units and compound durations. Prior cache-marker and immutable RecordedRun fixes are unchanged and still pass.
Final-head validation passed: formatting, full vet and repository tests, focused role/threshold/punctuation cases repeated 50 times, measurements race tests repeated three times, a separate full measurements race run, Windows amd64 test compilation, release build/smoke, govulncheck (no vulnerabilities), and diff hygiene. Advisory lint reports the same four untouched mainline findings in installtest/proxydial/web_fetch; none are in this fix. Native Windows tests were not executed locally.
No dependency or third-party integration change. No evidence-backed defects found in this reviewed fix scope. The commit was pushed as a fast-forward. Remote CI is running and independent re-review must cover this exact head; this self-review is not an approval.

Re-reviewed at ce52b3f9. B is a cue now rather than a list, which is what I asked for, and I drove it in both directions rather than only the one I complained about.
durationHasThresholdContext and its conjunction exception are gone; elapsedClaimedDuration reads a duration only under an affirmative elapsed role ("took D", a completion verb with "in D", "Name (D)" or "Name passed, D", "D elapsed"), quoted and code-span text excluded, and parseClaimedDuration stays the one authority on whether the token is a duration at all. Against a recorded 0.86s:
fourteen bound phrasings, all truthful 0 accusations (was 6 of the first 8 at the previous head)
capped at, ceiling, must not exceed, no more than, allowed, limited to,
at most, up to, hard limit, must complete within, well under, a 10s timeout
on TestX, the 10s budget for TestX, no longer than
five truthful elapsed forms 0 accusations
twelve false elapsed forms (10s claimed) 7 accused
The seven caught: took 10s, ran in, finished in, completed in, passed in, "passed, 10s", "10s elapsed". The last of those the previous head missed. The five now silent: "took 10 seconds" (the previous head missed it too; the token parser, not the role), "TestX (10s) passed." (also missed before), and three that the previous head did catch: "took about 10s", "needed 10s to finish", "went from start to finish in 10s". That is the trade the package's own contract asks for, a miss over an invented correction, and I take it.
One of the three is worth a small affirmative extension rather than a shrug, not blocking: "took about 10s" is an ordinary hedge, and the cue requires "took" directly before the number. Allowing one hedge word there ("about", "around", "roughly", "nearly") keeps the rule affirmative and recovers the commonest of the lost forms. "needed ... to finish" and "from start to finish in" are rarer and can stay silent.
A and C are unchanged and still hold at this head: every cached shape voids the evidence and both fresh shapes accuse, the handle survives builder mutation and a zero handle selects nothing. Package green here with vet, CI 9 of 9.
Approving. Both of mine are closed, all three of jatmn's are closed as far as I can drive them, and the last list in the claim path is gone.

lgtm at ce52b3f9. All three of jatmn's findings are closed — the cache marker no longer depends on the status token, RecordedRun makes the lookup immune to argv reuse, and claim extraction is cue-based now rather than a growing word list, which was the right inversion. Vasanthdev drove the bound phrasings in both directions and they hold.
Nice-to-have, not blocking: "took about 10s" stays silent — one hedge word after "took" would recover the commonest lost form.
Approving.
Superseded by subsequent fixes. The requested changes were addressed on the current head, which has passing CI and two independent current-head approvals.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Make both conflict sorts deterministic for equal Name values.
claimedSecondsAllFor can return multiple claimed values for one name. Conflicts and ConflictsAcrossRuns append these values while ranging maps that also contain other names. Since sort.Slice compares only Name and is not stable, it can reverse equal-name items based on their surrounding order. Nudge can therefore list corrections in different orders across identical passes.
Compare Claimed after Name at both sort sites, or use sort.SliceStable. Extend TestTheReportIsIdenticalBetweenIdenticalPasses with one name that has two claimed values and cover both entry points.

Split out of #829 — independent package
Fourth piece of the split @Vasanthdev2004 asked for. Not stacked on #891/#897 — it builds and tests against current
mainon its own.What it is for
A measured run finished a benchmark and reported a table of test timings that no command in the session had produced:
0.86sin one paste and4.20sin the next, with nothing said about the difference-raceoverhead moved from+3.7%to+133%between two tellings of the same resultWhy a prompt rule is not the fix
"Re-run every command before you paste it" is the obvious answer and the weak one: a model willing to write numbers it did not measure is equally willing to say it re-ran them. The check has to live somewhere the model cannot assert its way past.
The harness qualifies. Every command's output passed through this process and was written to the session log, so the run's real numbers are already there — this package reads them back and compares them against what the answer claims.
Deliberately loose
Timings vary for honest reasons: a loaded machine, a warm cache, a different
-count. The tolerance is a 50% band, which lets ordinary variation through and still catches0.86sreported as4.20s.That asymmetry is on purpose. A tripwire that cries wolf gets turned off, and then it catches nothing; a false negative costs one uncaught number. So it errs firmly toward silence.
