Four probes. Run before any peer review. Results published whether they help or hurt.
| Probe | Setup | Pass condition |
|---|---|---|
| Control doctrine | Same pipeline, same frozen weights, applied to Procedural Due Process. | Must fail the DCC pass criteria. If it passes both — metric is too permissive. |
| Wrong-question | Substitute an out-of-doctrine question (e.g. Fourth Amendment exception?). | System refuses, not confabulates. untraceable_claims blows up loudly. |
| Permutation sensitivity | Shuffle input case order. | Ranking byte-identical. P7.1 determinism harness enforces. |
| Edge ablation | Randomly drop 20% of edges. | Graceful degradation — scores shift, system flags reduced confidence. Not silent re-ranking. |
All four written before Day 10. Executed before any peer review. Results published whether they help or hurt.
