Conversation
The eval QA system prompt said 'based on the provided context' which made the LLM answer only from the system prompt injection. It never invoked the recall tool, missing all searchable details. Now explicitly instructs: use recall to search for specific details, follow t:<id> source citations for exact values. Recall now invoked on every QA question (verified via gateway logs).

Summary
The eval QA system prompt told the LLM to answer 'based on the provided context', which made it answer only from the system prompt injection. It never invoked the recall tool — confirmed by zero recall invocations across all CM-1 questions.
Fix
Updated QA_SYSTEM prompt to explicitly instruct the LLM to:
t:<id>source citations for exact valuesResults
Recall is now invoked on every QA question (verified via gateway logs). However, the gateway strips the recall tool after the first call (#399), so the LLM can't follow up on source citations. The scoring impact is limited by this architectural constraint.
