Agentic QE v3.14.0

v3.14.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2026-08-30

Highlights

Agentic QE 3.14.0 strengthens the trust boundary around learned state. Evidence
admission, embedding spaces, recovery mirrors, compacted instructions, and
adversarial judges now retain explicit provenance and fail closed when their
inputs cannot be qualified.

Learning evidence and embeddings

• Unified-memory schema v12 adds immutable evidence manifests, causal segments,
  admission decisions, and pattern lineage. Existing patterns are preserved and
  backfilled as legacy-unknown; they are never silently promoted to verified
  evidence.
• Schema v13 adds embedding-space provenance. Legacy vectors remain stored but
  untrusted until re-embedded, and incompatible spaces cannot be mixed in
  learned-pattern retrieval.
• Brain JSONL and RVF exports now preserve all six evidence/lineage tables. A
  domain-filtered export retains only a foreign-key-complete evidence graph.
• aqe learning embedding-health reports active-space identity and repair
  requirements without mutating the learning database.

Recovery and adversarial safety

• RVF mirror promotion compares all 31 portable tables. A richer existing
  mirror is preserved, ambiguous inspection fails closed, and known structural
  corruption remains recoverable.
• Compaction records instruction authority and origin lineage. LLM transcript
  input is JSON-framed so quoted tool content cannot manufacture a second
  user-authorized record.
• Judge qualification requires mandatory critical/high strata, minimum
  precision, bounded false keeps, and conservative Wilson confidence bounds.
• Learning admission verifies manifest hashes, rejects unsafe evidence, and
  deduplicates replays independently of run identifiers.

Provider and package integration

• The advisor honors a configured external default even when OpenRouter
  credentials coexist, while repository configuration cannot redirect ambient
  credentials or replace trusted Codex/Claude executables.
• QE Court ships as the public agentic-qe/skills/qe-court/referee export and
  the aqe-court-referee executable with consumer-runnable self-tests.

Upgrade notes

The SQLite changes are additive. AQE applies v12 and v13 transactionally when a
unified-memory database is opened. Migration tests operate on disposable copies,
verify SQLite integrity and foreign keys, preserve legacy row counts, and prove
the source database remains byte-identical.

Production packages continue to be published only from merged main through
the repository release workflow; this release must not be published locally.
