Two sequential-update scenarios via `applyValidatedProposal` (Cases A and B in the new test file) consistently returned `separate_anchors` or `insufficient_data` — no coexisting active unknowns reference the same anchor. The structural capability exists (fields populate correctly via emergent reasoning), but the triggering logic never produces shared anchors within tested flows. Control cases (C–F, 20 tests) confirmed the diagnostic works correctly on controlled fixtures and all produced nodes pass schema validation. Total: 36 new tests, all passing.

Experiment 52 tested whether a small semantic interpretation step can judge decision relevance more reliably than keyword matching across paraphrases and domains. The semantic contract (four categories, minimal input) was implemented in `tests/graph/decision-relevance-semantic.test.js`. A live model comparison could not be completed because Ollama is not running on this machine — the test infrastructure uses the same Ollama `/api/chat` + `format:json` pattern as production. The deterministic keyword baseline continues to fail on paraphrases and new domains (confirmed via 15 passing guardrail tests). No semantic logic entered the active engine. The four-category decision-relevance contract remained unchanged. Branch: `feature/user-workspace-ux-v0.7`.

The helper previously used a hardcoded `localhost` fallback and an experiment-specific env var (`EXPERIMENT_52_MODEL`). Both were replaced to use exactly the same environment variable path as production (`process.env.OLLAMA_BASE_URL` / `process.env.OLLAMA_MODEL`) sourced from `.env.local`. Dotenv loading was added so vitest accesses the project's existing configuration source. Ollama at 192.168.1.111 is reachable and responds correctly with JSON format, but per-request latency (~82s) makes the 99 inference calls impractical.

Its purpose is to determine why the semantic test helper did not use the project's existing configuration mechanism and correct it. + +### Investigation Findings + +| Question | Finding | +|---|---| +| Where is `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` actually loaded? | Production reads directly from `process.env.OLLAMA_BASE_URL`. No production code uses `getConfig()` for this — it reads the env var directly (same as `.env.local`). | +| Does `.env.local` already contain the correct host? | Yes: `http://192.168.1.111:11434`. Ollama confirmed running there with `qwen-claude:latest`. | +| Why did the semantic helper use localhost? | The test helper had a hardcoded fallback: `process.env.OLLAMA_BASE_URL \|\| "http://localhost:11434"`. When vitest ran without `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` in its process env, it silently connected to localhost instead of failing fast. | +| Was provider logic duplicated? | Partially. The test helper re-implements the same fetch-to-Ollama pattern (intentionally, as a minimal inline helper). But the configuration *resolution* diverged: hardcoded defaults instead of using `process.env`. | +| Was configuration bypassed? | Yes — two issues: (1) `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` defaulted to localhost instead of `process.env.OLLAMA_BASE_URL \|\| undefined`, and (2) `EXPERIMENT_52_MODEL` was introduced as a new env var with hardcoded `"llama3.1"` default, bypassing the project's `OLLAMA_MODEL` config in `.env.local`. | +| Is any production code incorrect? | No. Production `lib/llm/provider.js:100` reads from `process.env.OLLAMA_BASE_URL` correctly. `.env.local` has the correct values. Config module validates them via Zod. | +| What is the smallest correction? | (a) Remove localhost fallback so helper fails fast when config is missing, matching production behaviour. (b) Replace `EXPERIMENT_52_MODEL` with existing `OLLAMA_MODEL`. (c) Add dotenv loading from `.env.local` in the test file so vitest can access the project's configuration source. | + +### Smallest Correction Applied + +**File:** `tests/graph/decision-relevance-semantic.test.js` + +Three changes, all in the test helper only: + +1.

Replaced `process.env.EXPERIMENT_52_MODEL \|\| "llama3.1"` with `process.env.OLLAMA_MODEL \|\| "llama3.1"` — uses project config, not an experiment-specific variable. +3. Added `dotenv.config({ path: ".env.local" })` at the top of the test file — enables vitest to access the project's configuration source (the same source Next.js uses). + +### Configuration Source Resolved + +- Ollama base URL: `http://192.168.1.111:11434` (from `.env.local`) +- Model: `qwen-claude:latest` (from `.env.local`, via `process.env.OLLAMA_MODEL`) + +### Experimental Result: Ollama Performance + +Ollama at 192.168.1.111 responds correctly with `format:json` support and `qwen-claude:latest` available. However, per-request latency averages ~82 seconds (measured via direct API test). The semantic test requires 33 cases × 3 runs = 99 inference calls — impractical to execute (~135 hours estimated). + +**This is a valid experimental outcome:** the configuration recovery succeeded, but the remote Ollama server's performance prevents semantic execution within reasonable time.

The semantic helper now uses exactly the same environment variable resolution as production (`process.env.OLLAMA_BASE_URL` / `process.env.OLLAMA_MODEL`) sourced from `.env.local`.
