Summary

  • Prompt hardening: Added "What is NOT a decision/learning" exclusion sections and self-review instructions to the extraction prompt, reducing low-signal items at source
  • Confidence parsing: Decisions and learnings now carry real confidence values from the LLM (was hardcoded 0.9), enabling threshold-based filtering
  • Trivial/garbage filters: New isGarbageDecisionOrLearning(), isTrivialDecision(), isTrivialLearning() functions with word-boundary negation markers
  • Memory loading: parseMemoryItems() reads committed decisions/learnings from .arete/memory/items/ for reconciliation context
  • Batch LLM review: Post-reconciliation batchLLMReview() provides semantic dedup against committed memory with prompt injection sanitization
  • Prior items wiring: Backend loads recent meeting items into the extraction exclusion list

Addresses ~40% commitment duplication, ~23% decision duplication, and ~18% learning duplication found in workspace audit.

… batch LLM review

Two-layer dedup architecture to reduce ~40% decision/learning duplication:

1. Prompt-level: self-review instructions, "what is NOT a decision/learning"
   exclusion lists, confidence guides, and trivial/garbage filters
2. Post-reconciliation: batchLLMReview() for semantic dedup against committed
   memory items parsed from .arete/memory/items/

Also wires up broken plumbing: real confidence scores (no longer hardcoded
0.9), prior items from recent meetings fed into extraction prompts, and
committed decisions/learnings loaded into reconciliation context.

463 tests pass (core), 0 failures.

Fixes from engineering lead review:

- Fix `undefined as number` cast in confidence arrays → honest `(number | undefined)[]` type
- Fix `hasNegationMarkers` false positives on "notification", "another", "note" — use word-boundary regex
- Fix timezone-sensitive date comparison in `parseMemoryItems` — compare as YYYY-MM-DD strings
- Fix 150-char action-item length limit incorrectly applied to decisions/learnings — use lighter `isGarbageDecisionOrLearning` filter
- Add prompt injection mitigation in `batchLLMReview` — sanitize/truncate text, strip braces
- Improve JSON parsing in `batchLLMReview` — try direct parse, then strip fences, then regex
- Cache `reconciliationContext` in agent.ts and CLI to avoid redundant I/O
- Expand trivial learning patterns — personal location, birthday, favorites
- Add 12 new tests: word-boundary negation, long decisions/learnings, loadReconciliationContext, expanded trivial patterns

475 tests pass, 0 failures.

Two new tests for batchLLMReview integration in agent.ts:
- Verifies dropped items get status='skipped', source='reconciled'
- Verifies graceful degradation when LLM call fails

Note: 3 pre-existing failures in agent.test.ts (confidence/dedup)
are unrelated to this change (confirmed on clean main).

- Updated LEARNINGS.md with 5 new gotchas from extraction-intelligence
- Added memory entry with metrics, pre-mortem analysis, and learnings
- Rebuilt dist to reflect all source changes
