Claim Policy

Cited report/packet claims only

Use cited packet/report evidence for claims; weather, road, policy, and map overlap stays contextual unless evidence proves causality.

Packet or replay citations must expose evidenceId, claimBearing, claimGuidance, evidenceMode, and source_ref claim policy.

Broad source-level claims also require sourceClaimAudit review, /v1/sources claimBearing=true, sourceFactHealth.total > 0, sourceFactHealth.claimBearingPolicyRows > 0, sourceFactHealth.parserLagHours within maxParserLagHours, sourceFactHealth.futureEventsBeyond7d=0 for current road claims, no pending/failed embedding backlog for semantic-only claims, no degraded-run caveats, and no blocking claimWarnings for the source family.

Raw-current, raw-only, stale, no-row, scheduled, planned, future, retired, unknown, parser-lagged, degraded-run, embedding-backlog, feed, search, and briefing source rows remain caveated context unless report citations explicitly review them.

Planned/future traffic rows must be labeled non-current planning context and not cited as current evidence.

Model Generation Policy

modelProvider/modelVersion: local / gemma4:e4b

Lane: local_report_generation

OpenAI content/report lanes require explicit gates and use store:false; no-call previews write local artifacts only.

Generated reports inherit cited report text, source facts, packet evidence, saved source_ref claim policy, and /v1/sources source-fact health: sourceFactHealth.total > 0, sourceFactHealth.claimBearingPolicyRows > 0, parser-lag/future-row/embedding-backlog/degraded-run checks, and no blocking claimWarnings.

Generated report wording is reusable only inside cited report text, cited packet evidence, or saved source_ref claim policy.

Broad source-level claims require sourceClaimAudit review, /v1/sources claimBearing=true, sourceFactHealth.total > 0, sourceFactHealth.claimBearingPolicyRows > 0, sourceFactHealth.parserLagHours within maxParserLagHours, sourceFactHealth.futureEventsBeyond7d=0 for current road claims, no pending/failed embedding backlog for semantic-only claims, no degraded-run caveats, and no blocking claimWarnings.

Raw-current, stale, no-row, scheduled, planned, retired, unknown, planned/future, parser-lagged, parser-incomplete, degraded-run, and embedding-backlog rows remain context only unless cited evidence says otherwise.

Do not infer causality from co-occurrence; weather, road, policy, and wait overlap stay contextual unless evidence proves cause.
