James BruntonandGitHub 1264f4cfed Set up document management for Stirling Engine (#6476)
# Description of Changes
Change Stirling Engine to support deleting documents automatically. This
happens both on user logout and after an amount of time specified by the
Java when ingesting a document (allowing for personal documents to have
short lifetimes but org documents to be left in the db with no expiry
date). Also sets up an [ACL
policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access-control_list) for the
documents so the database knows which users have access to which
documents. This is not fully implemented in the Java, so currently all
docs are treated as having a single owner, the uploader, but
theoretically when we need to support org storage, we shouldn't need to
change the db schema.

ConnorYohandGitHub 017c8d59fa feat(ai): add Contradiction Agent on a new ChunkedMapper primitive (#6369)
## Summary

Adds a new AI specialist that finds **textual contradictions** across
one or more PDFs — conflicting claims, recommendations, points of view,
contested facts — built entirely in Python on top of the new
`DocumentService` + `ChunkedReasoner` stack from #6314. Replaces the
closed #6304, which was started before #6314 landed and therefore
over-engineered (Java orchestrator, two-round handshake, resume
artifact, discriminated-union lift).

Two commits:
1. **`refactor(engine): extract ChunkedMapper[T] from ChunkedReasoner`**
— pure refactor, public API of ChunkedReasoner unchanged. New
`ChunkedMapper[T: BaseModel]` is a generic parallel-chunk primitive
(slicing, semaphore, time-bounded extraction, cancellation drain,
progress events) that's now a peer to ChunkedReasoner rather than locked
inside it. The compression loop stays on ChunkedReasoner where it
belongs.
2. **`feat(ai): add Contradiction Agent on ChunkedMapper`** — the agent
itself, plus integrations into `PdfReviewAgent` and `PdfQuestionAgent`.

## Architecture

- **Python-only.** No Java code. No `AgentToolId.CONTRADICTION_AGENT`.
No dedicated HTTP endpoint. No resume artifact, no discriminated-union
lift in `contracts/common.py`. Detector runs inside the Python engine
and the Python engine alone.
- **Review path** (`PdfReviewAgent`): a new
`ContradictionIntentClassifier` fires on contradiction-flavoured
prompts; agent runs detection synchronously and emits a single
`EditPlanResponse(steps=[ADD_COMMENTS])`. Single-turn flow — no resume.
- **Question path** (`PdfQuestionAgent`): a new
`ContradictionCapability` joins `RagCapability` and
`WholeDocReaderCapability` in the smart-model toolset, exposing
`find_contradictions(query)`. The smart model picks it from the toolset
alongside `search_knowledge` and `read_full_document`.

## Inside `ContradictionDetector.detect()`

1. `DocumentService.read_pages(file_id)` → ordered `list[Page]`.
2. `ChunkedMapper[_ExtractedClaims].map_pages(...)` — char-budgeted
multi-page slicing; each slice runs the claim-extractor LLM in parallel
under a semaphore.
3. Page-traceability: the extractor returns `_ExtractedClaim.page`
(which `[Page N]` marker the claim came from). The wrapper validates
`page ∈ chunk.pages`; if not, mechanical fallback searches the chunk's
page text for the verbatim quote and reassigns. If still no match, drop
the claim.
4. `Claim.anchor_quality: Literal[\"verbatim\", \"paraphrased\"]` is set
by a substring check against the declared page's text. Verbatim quotes
feed `anchor_text` for snap-to-quote add-comments placement; paraphrased
ones fall back to margin geometry.
5. Subject canonicalisation: ONE fast-model LLM call collapses synonyms
across the document. Fails open to lexical bucketing.
6. Pre-filters: drop identical-quote pairs; drop same-page same-polarity
paraphrases.
7. Per-bucket pair detection in parallel (separate semaphore, cap 5).
Buckets > 12 claims chunk into windows of 12 with overlap 2; pairs
deduped across overlapping windows by frozen `(i, j)` index pair.
8. Summary fast-model call with fallback string on error.

## Prompt-injection hardening

Every prompt that interpolates user-supplied or PDF-extracted text wraps
content in `<user_message>` / `<verdict>` / `<content>` tags with an
explicit SECURITY preamble instructing the model to treat tagged content
as data only.

## Limitations

- **Combined math + contradiction intent**: when both intent classifiers
fire on the same prompt, contradiction takes precedence and the math
intent is silently dropped. Documented in the Review module docstring
and pinned by
`test_review_integration.py::test_contradiction_precedence_over_math`.
- **Cross-window contradiction reach**: within a subject bucket, pairs
more than ~10 claim indices apart in the same chunked window may be
missed by the overlap-2 strategy. Documented in `test_detector.py`.
Acceptable for v1.

## Settings (engine/src/stirling/config/settings.py)

```python
contradiction_detect_concurrency = 5     # per-bucket detector semaphore
contradiction_bucket_chunk_size = 12     # max claims per detector call
contradiction_bucket_chunk_overlap = 2   # overlap for >threshold buckets
```

`chars_per_slice` and extraction concurrency are reused from the
existing `chunked_reasoner_*` settings.

## Test plan

- [x] `uv run pytest tests/ -v` — **245/245 pass** (210 pre-existing +
35 new)
- [x] `uv run ruff check src/ tests/` — clean
- [x] `uv run pyright src/stirling/agents/contradiction/
src/stirling/contracts/contradiction.py` — 0 errors
- [x] `./gradlew :proprietary:test` — green; no Java was touched, but
verified untouched
- [x] Page-traceability tests cover: valid page kept, hallucinated page
dropped, mechanical-reassign on misattribution, anchor-quality verbatim
vs paraphrased
- [x] Review integration: ADD_COMMENTS plan with two paired CommentSpecs
per contradiction; NeedIngestResponse precheck; precedence vs math
intent pinned
- [x] Question integration: all three capabilities wired into
smart-model toolset; `find_contradictions` returns formatted report text
- [x] ChunkedMapper standalone: slicing, multi-chunk ordering, worker
failures, timeouts, cancellation drain, semaphore saturation
- [x] ChunkedReasoner regression: all pre-existing tests pass unchanged
after the internal split

## Relationship to closed #6304

#6304 was closed in favour of this PR. The closed PR predated #6314 and
modelled the agent as a Java-orchestrated two-round examine/deliberate
flow with its own HTTP endpoint and a discriminated-union resume
artifact. With #6314 making full ordered page text available to the
engine via `DocumentService.read_pages`, none of that is needed. Net
effect: drop ~600 lines of Java, drop the two-round handshake, drop the
`ToolReportArtifact` lift, while ending up with a more scalable agent
(chunk-based instead of page-based extraction; tested to
ChunkedReasoner-equivalent scale).

James BruntonandGitHub 672e81d286 Add ability for Stirling engine to reason across large documents (#6314)
# Description of Changes
Adds storage in the database for full document content alongside the RAG
content (and changes the service to `DocumentService` instead of
`RagService`). Then adds a generic capability that should be usable by
any agent (currently just used by the Question Agent) which allows the
agent to pull out the full contents of the doc, chunks it into various
sections that will fit in the context window, and then processes them in
parallel to create an intermediate result, and then processes the
intermediate result into a final answer. It will re-chunk as many times
as necessary to get the content small enough for the actual answer to be
analysed (I've tested on PDFs ~3500 pages long, which is well above the
context limit and requires maybe 3 rounds of compression to get an
answer).

The new full doc analysis stuff is heavier than the RAG lookup so both
remain. The agents should use RAG for targeted info and the chunked
reasoner for info that requires reading the full doc.

James BruntonandGitHub 5541dd666c Flesh out RAG system (#6197)
# Description of Changes
Flesh out the RAG system and connect it to the PDF Question Agent so it
can respond to questions about PDFs of an extremely large size.

I'd expect lots more work will need to be done to finish off the RAG
system to really be what we need, but this should be a reasonable start
which will let us connect it to tools and have the ingestion mostly
handled automatically. I'm leaving file deletion and proper file ID
management to be done in a future PR. We also need to consider whether
all tools should retrieve content exclusively via RAG, or whether it's
beneficial to have tools sometimes fetch the direct content and other
times fetch it from RAG.
