Implement baseline persistence for drift detection

[Claude]

The drift detection system had no cross-run memory. All drift comparisons were against empty baselines, making statistical and behavioral drift undetectable.

Changes

Core Implementation

• osint_core/baseline.py (new): Baseline persistence layer

  • load_baseline(): Loads from data/baseline.json or returns defaults
  • update_baseline(): EMA-based updates (α=0.1) for distributions, output hashes, runtime P95
  • Tracks: known_output_hashes, input_type_distribution, module_usage_distribution, structural expectations

• osint_core/drift.py: Converted pseudocode to Python

  • Dataclasses: DriftVector, DriftSignal, TelemetrySnapshot, DriftAssessment
  • assess_drift(): Pure function orchestrating six drift checks
  • Priority-ordered correction: policy → structural → behavioral → adversarial → operational → statistical
  • All 24 tests pass

Integration

• app.py: Wire baseline into execution pipeline
  • Load baseline at startup: BASELINE = load_baseline()
  • Create TelemetrySnapshot with output hash, error counts, runtime context
  • Call assess_drift(telemetry, BASELINE, policy_result)
  • Update baseline after assessment: BASELINE = update_baseline(BASELINE, telemetry, assessment)
  • Removed old detect_drift() and choose_correction() functions
  • UI now displays drift signals with evidence, dominant type, confidence

Example

Before: Drift vector always zeros (no baseline comparison)

After:

# Run 1: email → HIBP (output hash "abc123")
# Baseline records: known_output_hashes["hmac_foo"] = "abc123"

# Run 2: Same email → HIBP (output hash "xyz789" - upstream data changed)
# Detects behavioral drift:
{
  "drift_vector": {"behavioral": 0.9, ...},
  "signals": [{
    "name": "output_hash_mismatch",
    "drift_type": "behavioral",
    "reason": "Same input produced different output",
    "evidence": {"expected": "abc123", "actual": "xyz789"}
  }],
  "recommended_correction": "REVERT"
}

Statistical drift (input type distribution shift), operational drift (runtime degradation), and structural drift (manifest changes) now detectable across runs.

Pull request overview

Adds persistent baseline state so drift detection can compare telemetry across runs (instead of always comparing to an empty baseline), and wires the new drift assessment + signal reporting into the Gradio execution pipeline.

Changes:

• Added osint_core/baseline.py to load/save/update a persisted baseline (data/baseline.json) used for cross-run drift detection.
• Replaced drift pseudocode with concrete dataclasses + drift checks in osint_core/drift.py and integrated assessment output into the UI in app.py.
• Removed legacy drift/correction helpers from app.py and now display drift signals, dominant drift type, confidence, and recommended correction.

BASELINE is a global mutable dict that is updated and persisted on every request. In a Gradio app, requests can run concurrently (multiple threads/workers), which can lead to races and baseline.json corruption/lost updates. Consider guarding baseline load/update/save with a lock (e.g., threading.Lock) and/or moving persistence into a single-threaded background task; also consider making writes atomic (write temp file then replace).

[Copilot]

The comment/docstring says the baseline update is EMA-based and mentions runtime P95, but this code currently updates runtime_p95_ms via max() (monotonic increase). This can cause the baseline to only drift upward and never recover after a transient slowdown. Either implement the stated EMA/quantile tracking (with history/windowing) or adjust the naming/docs to reflect the actual behavior.
