Appendix: The Answer Key (Full Task Plan)

This is the complete implementation plan the build chapters are drawn from — every manifest, type definition, attribute, test, and expected output, in full. Each build chapter names its task (Maps to: Task N); come here when you want the exact spec or to compare your implementation after your own attempt.

Use it as an answer key, not a script. The learning is in writing the tests and implementation yourself first. But design decisions — field lists, string conventions, wire formats — are givens, not puzzles: look them up here freely.

Goal: A typed, reproducible Rust harness that generates parameterized scenario vignettes, dispatches them to version-pinned model APIs, logs every raw response to an append-only store, and holds human-coded results in types that reject invalid codebook values at parse time. Stages 5–6 (analysis, reliability stats) stay in Python and read this harness's output files.

Architecture: A Cargo workspace with four member crates split by responsibility: panoptes-core (shared data model — the types every other crate depends on), panoptes-gen (Stage 1 scenario generation), panoptes-harness (Stage 2 execution), and panoptes-coding (Stage 3 coding-sheet I/O with type-enforced validation). Stage 4 reliability and Stages 5–6 analysis are Python, consuming the JSONL/CSV files this workspace produces. The interface between Rust and Python is the file contract (responses.jsonl, coded/*.csv), never a language binding.

Tech Stack: Rust 2021, serde + serde_json + toml (data model + file I/O; TOML for hand-authored family specs — the maintained toml crate replaces the archived serde_yaml), serde_with (empty-string rejection), strum (enum↔string), tera (prompt templating), reqwest + tokio + async-trait (async API dispatch), sha2 (prompt hashing), chrono (timestamps), itertools (cartesian product), clap (CLI), anyhow + thiserror (errors). Testing: built-in cargo test + wiremock (HTTP mocking), tempfile (filesystem tests), assert_cmd (CLI integration).

Decomposition rationale. panoptes-core holds every type crossing a crate boundary, so the data model is defined exactly once and the compiler enforces consistency everywhere downstream — a StrategicLogic variant added in core is instantly visible to coding and analysis-export. The three stage crates depend on core and on each other only through core's types, never directly. Files split by responsibility: parameter types, code types, and record types are separate files in core because they change for different reasons (a new scenario parameter vs. a new codebook criterion vs. a new logged field).

Build order. Core first (everything depends on it), then the three stages in pipeline order (gen → harness → coding). Stage 4 reliability is Python and is scaffolded in the final task as a file-contract stub, not implemented here.


Task 1: Workspace + core parameter types

Files:

  • Create: Cargo.toml (workspace root)

  • Create: crates/panoptes-core/Cargo.toml

  • Create: crates/panoptes-core/src/lib.rs

  • Create: crates/panoptes-core/src/params.rs

  • Step 1: Create the workspace manifest

Cargo.toml:

[workspace]
resolver = "2"
members = [
    "crates/panoptes-core",
    "crates/panoptes-gen",
    "crates/panoptes-harness",
    "crates/panoptes-coding",
]

[workspace.dependencies]
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1"
toml = "1"
serde_with = "3"
strum = { version = "0.26", features = ["derive"] }
tera = "1"
reqwest = { version = "0.12", features = ["json"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
async-trait = "0.1"
sha2 = "0.10"
chrono = { version = "0.4", features = ["serde"] }
itertools = "0.13"
clap = { version = "4", features = ["derive"] }
anyhow = "1"
thiserror = "2"
  • Step 2: Create the core crate manifest

crates/panoptes-core/Cargo.toml:

[package]
name = "panoptes-core"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
serde = { workspace = true }
serde_with = { workspace = true }
strum = { workspace = true }
chrono = { workspace = true }
  • Step 3: Write the failing test for parameter enum round-tripping

crates/panoptes-core/src/params.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use strum::{Display, EnumString};

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize, Display, EnumString)]
#[strum(serialize_all = "UPPERCASE")]
pub enum TimePressure { Hours, Days }

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize, Display, EnumString)]
#[strum(serialize_all = "UPPERCASE")]
pub enum Reversibility { Reversible, Irreversible }

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Params {
    pub attribution_confidence: u8,
    pub time_pressure: TimePressure,
    pub reversibility: Reversibility,
    pub info_request: bool,
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;
    use std::str::FromStr;

    #[test]
    fn time_pressure_string_roundtrip() {
        assert_eq!(TimePressure::Hours.to_string(), "HOURS");
        assert_eq!(TimePressure::from_str("DAYS").unwrap(), TimePressure::Days);
    }

    #[test]
    fn params_json_roundtrip() {
        let p = Params { attribution_confidence: 60, time_pressure: TimePressure::Hours,
            reversibility: Reversibility::Irreversible, info_request: true };
        let json = serde_json::to_string(&p).unwrap();
        let back: Params = serde_json::from_str(&json).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(p, back);
    }
}
}
  • Step 4: Write lib.rs re-exporting the module

crates/panoptes-core/src/lib.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub mod params;
pub use params::{Params, Reversibility, TimePressure};
}

Add serde_json as a dev-dependency in crates/panoptes-core/Cargo.toml:

[dev-dependencies]
serde_json = { workspace = true }
  • Step 5: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-core params Expected: PASS, 2 tests (time_pressure_string_roundtrip, params_json_roundtrip)

  • Step 6: Commit
git add Cargo.toml crates/panoptes-core
git commit -m "feat(core): workspace + typed scenario parameters"

Task 2: Core codebook types (the validation-by-type payoff)

Files:

  • Create: crates/panoptes-core/src/codes.rs

  • Modify: crates/panoptes-core/src/lib.rs

  • Step 1: Write the failing test — invalid codebook value must fail to deserialize

crates/panoptes-core/src/codes.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use serde_with::{serde_as, NoneAsEmptyString};
use strum::{Display, EnumString};

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize, Display, EnumString)]
#[strum(serialize_all = "SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE")]
#[serde(rename_all = "SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE")]
pub enum ActionType {
    SensorRetask, Maneuver, Monitor, EscalateToCommand, RequestData, NoAction,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize, Display, EnumString)]
#[strum(serialize_all = "SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE")]
#[serde(rename_all = "SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE")]
pub enum StrategicLogic {
    Control, Maritime, Political, Procedural, None, Mixed,
}

/// One human-coded row. Bad enum values are a *deserialization error*,
/// not something a separate lint step has to catch.
#[serde_as]
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct CodedRow {
    pub response_id: String,
    pub c1_action: ActionType,
    pub c2_logic: StrategicLogic,
    pub c2_anchor_quote: String,
    pub c3_escalation: u8,
    pub codebook_version: String,
    #[serde_as(as = "NoneAsEmptyString")]
    pub coder_notes: Option<String>,
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn valid_logic_parses() {
        assert_eq!(serde_json::from_str::<StrategicLogic>("\"CONTROL\"").unwrap(),
                   StrategicLogic::Control);
    }

    #[test]
    fn invalid_logic_is_rejected() {
        // "AGGRESSIVE" is not in the codebook — must NOT silently accept
        let r = serde_json::from_str::<StrategicLogic>("\"AGGRESSIVE\"");
        assert!(r.is_err(), "invalid codebook value must fail to parse");
    }

    #[test]
    fn coded_row_json_roundtrip() {
        let row = CodedRow {
            response_id: "abc123".into(), c1_action: ActionType::SensorRetask,
            c2_logic: StrategicLogic::Control, c2_anchor_quote: "positional advantage".into(),
            c3_escalation: 0, codebook_version: "0.3".into(), coder_notes: None,
        };
        let json = serde_json::to_string(&row).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(serde_json::from_str::<CodedRow>(&json).unwrap(), row);
    }
}
}
  • Step 2: Re-export from lib.rs

Append to crates/panoptes-core/src/lib.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub mod codes;
pub use codes::{ActionType, CodedRow, StrategicLogic};
}
  • Step 3: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-core codes Expected: PASS, 3 tests. Critically invalid_logic_is_rejected proves the codebook constraint lives in the type.

  • Step 4: Commit
git add crates/panoptes-core
git commit -m "feat(core): codebook enums with parse-time validation"

Task 3: Core record + vignette types (the file contract)

Files:

  • Create: crates/panoptes-core/src/vignette.rs

  • Create: crates/panoptes-core/src/record.rs

  • Modify: crates/panoptes-core/src/lib.rs

  • Step 1: Write the failing test for VignetteId formatting

crates/panoptes-core/src/vignette.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
use crate::params::Params;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Vignette {
    pub id: String,
    pub family: String,
    pub params: Params,
    pub prompt: String,
    pub prompt_sha256: String,

    let tp = if matches!(p.time_pressure, crate::params::TimePressure::Hours) { "H" } else { "D" };
    let rv = if matches!(p.reversibility, crate::params::Reversibility::Reversible) { "REV" } else { "IRREV" };
    let info = if p.info_request { "INFO" } else { "NOINFO" };
    format!("{}-{:03}-{}-{}-{}", family, p.attribution_confidence, tp, rv, info)
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {

        assert_eq!(vignette_id("ca_geo", &p), "ca_geo-030-H-REV-INFO");
    }
}
}
  • Step 2: Write the failing test for ResponseRecord round-trip

    pub run_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {

    use crate::params::{Reversibility, TimePressure};

    #[test]
    fn record_jsonl_roundtrip() {
        let rec = ResponseRecord {

            run_at: "2026-07-17T12:00:00Z".parse().unwrap(),
        };
        let line = serde_json::to_string(&rec).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(serde_json::from_str::<ResponseRecord>(&line).unwrap(), rec);
    }
}
}
  • Step 3: Re-export from lib.rs

Append to crates/panoptes-core/src/lib.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub mod vignette;
pub mod record;
pub use vignette::{vignette_id, Vignette};
pub use record::{ResponseRecord, Usage};
}
  • Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-core Expected: PASS, all core tests (params + codes + vignette + record).

  • Step 5: Commit
git add crates/panoptes-core
git commit -m "feat(core): vignette + response record types (the file contract)"

}

Note: remove the erroneous use panoptes_core::Vignette as _; line — it's shown here only to flag that the working import is use panoptes_core::vignette::{vignette_id, Vignette};. Delete the duplicate.

  • Step 2: Fix imports and re-export from lib.rs

Correct the imports at the top of generate.rs to exactly:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
use itertools::iproduct;
use panoptes_core::params::{Params, Reversibility, TimePressure};
use panoptes_core::vignette::{vignette_id, Vignette};
use crate::family::FamilySpec;
use crate::validity::ScenarioFamily;
use sha2::{Digest, Sha256};
use tera::{Context, Tera};
}

Append to crates/panoptes-gen/src/lib.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub mod generate;
pub use generate::{all_params, generate};
}
  • Step 3: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-gen generate Expected: PASS, 4 tests. validity_filter_reduces_count and ids_are_unique are the load-bearing ones.

  • Step 4: Commit
git add crates/panoptes-gen
git commit -m "feat(gen): parameter-grid vignette generation with unique IDs"

Task 6: Generation CLI + manifest writer (Stage 1c)

Files:

  • Create: crates/panoptes-gen/src/main.rs

  • Modify: crates/panoptes-gen/Cargo.toml (add [[bin]])

  • Step 1: Declare the binary in the manifest

Append to crates/panoptes-gen/Cargo.toml:

[[bin]]
name = "panoptes-gen"
path = "src/main.rs"
  • Step 2: Write the manifest writer with a test

crates/panoptes-gen/src/main.rs:

    #[arg(long, default_value = "scenarios/generated")]
    out: PathBuf,
}

/// Serialize vignettes to a manifest CSV (one row per vignette, no prompt body).
fn write_manifest(vignettes: &[Vignette], path: &std::path::Path) -> Result<()> {

        let contents = std::fs::read_to_string(&path).unwrap();
        assert!(contents.starts_with("vignette_id,family,"));
        assert_eq!(contents.lines().count(), 2); // header + 1 row
        assert!(contents.contains("ca_geo-030-H-REV-INFO"));
    }
}
  • Step 3: Add tempfile dev-dependency

Append to crates/panoptes-gen/Cargo.toml [dev-dependencies]:

tempfile = "3"
  • Step 4: Run the test, then run the binary end-to-end

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-gen manifest Expected: PASS, 1 test.

Run: cargo run -p panoptes-gen -- --family scenarios/families/ca_geo.toml Expected: stderr generated 18 vignettes → scenarios/generated, and scenarios/generated/manifest.csv + 18 files in scenarios/generated/prompts/ exist.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add crates/panoptes-gen
git commit -m "feat(gen): CLI binary writing manifest + prompt files"

Task 7: ModelClient trait + append-only JSONL writer (Stage 2a)

Files:

  • Create: crates/panoptes-harness/Cargo.toml

  • Create: crates/panoptes-harness/src/lib.rs

  • Create: crates/panoptes-harness/src/client.rs

  • Create: crates/panoptes-harness/src/jsonl.rs

  • Step 1: Create the harness crate manifest

  • Step 2: Define the client trait + response type

crates/panoptes-harness/src/client.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
use async_trait::async_trait;
use panoptes_core::Usage;

#[derive(Debug, Clone)]

    /// Single-turn generation. Clean context: prompt is the entire input.
    async fn generate(&self, prompt: &str) -> anyhow::Result<ModelResponse>;
}
}
  • Step 3: Write the failing test for the append-only writer

crates/panoptes-harness/src/jsonl.rs:

#![allow(unused)]

            serde_json::from_str::<ResponseRecord>(line).unwrap();
        }
    }

}
  • Step 4: Write lib.rs

crates/panoptes-harness/src/lib.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub mod client;
pub mod jsonl;
pub use client::{ModelClient, ModelResponse};
pub use jsonl::append_record;
}
  • Step 5: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-harness jsonl Expected: PASS, 1 test. appends_without_truncating guards the append-only invariant.

  • Step 6: Commit
git add crates/panoptes-harness
git commit -m "feat(harness): ModelClient trait + append-only JSONL writer"

Task 8: Anthropic client against a mock server (Stage 2b)

  • Create: crates/panoptes-coding/Cargo.toml

  • Create: crates/panoptes-coding/src/lib.rs

  • Create: crates/panoptes-coding/src/sheets.rs

  • Step 1: Create the coding crate manifest

crates/panoptes-coding/Cargo.toml:

  • Step 2: Write the failing test — sheet must not leak model or params

crates/panoptes-coding/src/sheets.rs:

#![allow(unused)]

            model: r.model.clone(), epoch: r.epoch,
        });
    }
    (sheet, key)
}

/// Deterministic shuffle by seed so ordering can't be reconstructed but runs
/// are reproducible. Uses a simple index permutation keyed on the seed.
pub fn shuffled_indices(n: usize, seed: u64) -> Vec<usize> {
    // Fisher–Yates with a tiny LCG — no external rand dependency.
    let mut idx: Vec<usize> = (0..n).collect();
    let mut state = seed.wrapping_mul(6364136223846793005).wrapping_add(1442695040888963407);
    for i in (1..n).rev() {
        state = state.wrapping_mul(6364136223846793005).wrapping_add(1442695040888963407);
        let j = (state >> 33) as usize % (i + 1);
        idx.swap(i, j);
    }
    idx
}

        assert_eq!(sorted, (0..18).collect::<Vec<_>>(), "must be a permutation of 0..n");

}
}
  • Step 3: Write lib.rs

crates/panoptes-coding/src/lib.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub mod sheets;
pub use sheets::{make_sheet, shuffled_indices, BlankSheetRow, KeyRow};
}
  • Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-coding sheets Expected: PASS, 2 tests. sheet_does_not_leak_identity is the integrity guarantee for blind coding.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add crates/panoptes-coding
git commit -m "feat(coding): blinded coding sheets + separate blind key"

Task 11: Coded-CSV loader — parse is validation (Stage 3b)

Files:

  • Create: crates/panoptes-coding/src/validate.rs

  • Create: crates/panoptes-coding/src/main.rs

  • Modify: crates/panoptes-coding/Cargo.toml (add [[bin]])

  • Modify: crates/panoptes-coding/src/lib.rs

  • Step 1: Write the failing test — bad codebook value fails loudly with row context

crates/panoptes-coding/src/validate.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
use panoptes_core::CodedRow;

#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
#[error("row {line}: {source}")]
pub struct CodingError {
    pub line: usize,
    #[source]
    pub source: serde_json::Error,
}

/// Load coded rows from a JSON-lines file. Each line deserializes into a
/// CodedRow, so any value outside the codebook enums fails here — the
/// validation IS the parse. Empty anchor quotes for latent codes are caught
/// by the check below.
pub fn load_coded(contents: &str) -> Result<Vec<CodedRow>, CodingError> {
    let mut rows = Vec::new();
    for (i, line) in contents.lines().enumerate() {
        if line.trim().is_empty() { continue; }
        let row: CodedRow = serde_json::from_str(line)
            .map_err(|source| CodingError { line: i + 1, source })?;
        rows.push(row);
    }
    Ok(rows)
}

/// Latent codes (C2 strategic logic) must anchor to quoted text — the codebook rule.
pub fn check_anchors(rows: &[CodedRow]) -> Result<(), String> {
    for r in rows {
        if r.c2_anchor_quote.trim().is_empty() {
            return Err(format!("{}: C2 logic coded without an anchor quote", r.response_id));
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    const VALID: &str = r#"{"response_id":"r1","c1_action":"SENSOR_RETASK","c2_logic":"CONTROL","c2_anchor_quote":"positional advantage","c3_escalation":0,"codebook_version":"0.3","coder_notes":""}"#;
    const BAD_ENUM: &str = r#"{"response_id":"r2","c1_action":"SENSOR_RETASK","c2_logic":"AGGRESSIVE","c2_anchor_quote":"x","c3_escalation":0,"codebook_version":"0.3","coder_notes":""}"#;
    const NO_ANCHOR: &str = r#"{"response_id":"r3","c1_action":"MONITOR","c2_logic":"CONTROL","c2_anchor_quote":"","c3_escalation":0,"codebook_version":"0.3","coder_notes":""}"#;

    #[test]
    fn valid_row_loads() {
        let rows = load_coded(VALID).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(rows.len(), 1);
        assert_eq!(rows[0].response_id, "r1");
    }

    #[test]
    fn bad_enum_fails_with_line_number() {
        let err = load_coded(BAD_ENUM).unwrap_err();
        assert_eq!(err.line, 1);
        // proves an out-of-codebook value can't slip through
    }

    #[test]
    fn missing_anchor_is_caught() {
        let rows = load_coded(NO_ANCHOR).unwrap();
        let err = check_anchors(&rows).unwrap_err();
        assert!(err.contains("r3"));
        assert!(err.contains("anchor"));
    }
}
}
  • Step 2: Write the validation CLI

crates/panoptes-coding/src/main.rs:

use anyhow::Result;
use clap::Parser;
use panoptes_coding::validate::{check_anchors, load_coded};
use std::fs;
use std::path::PathBuf;

#[derive(Parser)]
struct Cli {
    /// Path to a coded JSON-lines file (primary or second coder)
    #[arg(long)]
    coded: PathBuf,
}

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let cli = Cli::parse();
    let contents = fs::read_to_string(&cli.coded)?;
    let rows = load_coded(&contents).map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("{e}"))?;
    check_anchors(&rows).map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!(e))?;
    eprintln!("OK: {} coded rows valid against the codebook", rows.len());
    Ok(())
}
  • Step 3: Declare the binary + re-export

Append to crates/panoptes-coding/Cargo.toml:

[[bin]]
name = "panoptes-code"
path = "src/main.rs"

Append to crates/panoptes-coding/src/lib.rs:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub mod validate;
pub use validate::{check_anchors, load_coded, CodingError};
}
  • Step 4: Run tests, then exercise the CLI on a good and a bad file

Run: cargo test -p panoptes-coding validate Expected: PASS, 3 tests.

Create a temp bad file and confirm the CLI rejects it:

echo '{"response_id":"r2","c1_action":"SENSOR_RETASK","c2_logic":"AGGRESSIVE","c2_anchor_quote":"x","c3_escalation":0,"codebook_version":"0.3","coder_notes":""}' > /tmp/bad.jsonl
cargo run -p panoptes-coding -- --coded /tmp/bad.jsonl; echo "exit: $?"

Expected: non-zero exit with an error naming line 1 — the codebook constraint enforced at the boundary.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add crates/panoptes-coding
git commit -m "feat(coding): coded-CSV loader where parsing enforces the codebook"

Task 12: Workspace lints, Stage-4 handoff stub, README

Files:

  • Create: reliability/README.md (Python handoff contract — not implemented in Rust)

  • Create: README.md (workspace overview + run sequence)

  • Modify: root Cargo.toml (workspace lints)

  • Step 1: Add workspace-wide lint config

Append to root Cargo.toml:

[workspace.lints.rust]
unused_must_use = "deny"

[workspace.lints.clippy]
unwrap_used = "warn"     # unwraps are fine in tests; flag them in library code

Add to each crate's Cargo.toml (below [package]):

[lints]
workspace = true
  • Step 2: Write the Stage-4 handoff contract

reliability/README.md:

# Stage 4 — Reliability (Python, not Rust)

Reads:
- `coding/coded/primary.csv`   (validated by `panoptes-code`)
- `coding/coded/second_coder.csv`
- `coding/blind_key.csv`       (to join response_id → vignette_id)

Produces:
- `reliability/irr_report.csv`  — per-criterion Cohen's κ / Krippendorff's α
- `reliability/disagreements_<criterion>.csv`

Why Python: `krippendorff` and `scikit-learn`'s `cohen_kappa_score` are correct,
maintained, and not worth reimplementing. C3 escalation uses ordinal α.
Stratify the reliability subsample by `family` (join via blind_key) so no
scenario type escapes validation. Freeze the codebook version only when every
criterion clears ~0.7 (0.8 comfort). This table is Ch3/Ch4 verbatim.
  • Step 3: Write the workspace README with the run sequence

README.md:

# Panoptes Evaluation Harness

Stages 1–4 in Rust (typed, reproducible); Stages 5–6 in Python (stats + analysis),
reading the file contract this workspace produces.

## Run sequence
1. Generate:  `cargo run -p panoptes-gen -- --family scenarios/families/ca_geo.toml`
2. Execute:   `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... cargo run -p panoptes-run -- --epochs 5`
3. Sheets:    `cargo run -p panoptes-code -- ...`  (blank sheets → human codes → validate)
4. Validate:  `cargo run -p panoptes-code -- --coded coding/coded/primary.csv`
5–6. Python analysis reads harness/logs/responses.jsonl + coding/coded/*.csv

## Invariants
- responses.jsonl is append-only (the dataset of record)
- coding sheets never contain model identity or parameters (blinding)
- codebook values are enums — invalid values fail to parse, not lint
- the manifest is the join spine: analysis joins on vignette_id / response_id
  • Step 4: Full workspace build + test + clippy

Run: cargo build --workspace && cargo test --workspace && cargo clippy --workspace Expected: builds clean, all tests pass, clippy warns only on any intentional library unwraps.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add Cargo.toml crates README.md reliability/README.md
git commit -m "chore: workspace lints, Stage-4 handoff contract, README"

Self-Review

Spec coverage. Every stage from the architecture is implemented: Stage 1 generation (Tasks 4–6), Stage 2 execution (Tasks 7–9), Stage 3 coding (Tasks 10–11), with the shared data model front-loaded (Tasks 1–3) so types are defined once. Stage 4 is deliberately a Python handoff contract (Task 12), matching the decision to keep reliability statistics in Python. The three design invariants from earlier sessions each have a guarding test: append-only (appends_without_truncating), blinding (sheet_does_not_leak_identity, response_id_is_deterministic_and_opaque), and codebook-as-type (invalid_logic_is_rejected, bad_enum_fails_with_line_number).

Type consistency. Params, Vignette, ResponseRecord, CodedRow, and the enums are defined once in panoptes-core and imported everywhere else. vignette_id (core) and response_id (harness) are distinct by design: the former is human-readable and encodes parameters; the latter is opaque and hides them, which is the blinding property. model_name() on ModelClient is the single source of the pinned model string used in both dispatch and records.

Known simplifications to harden during the build, not blockers. The manifest CSV is written and parsed by hand (Tasks 6, 9) rather than via a csv crate — fine at this scale, but swap to the csv crate if quoting/escaping in prompts ever leaks into manifest fields (prompts live in separate files, so this is low-risk). The Anthropic request/response shapes (Task 8) are current-API-shaped but must be checked against live docs at build time. Provider list in main (Task 9) is a placeholder pending Open Question #6 (final pinned model list).
