feat(ai): add Contradiction Agent on a new ChunkedMapper primitive (Stirling-Tools#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 Stirling-Tools#6314. Replaces the
closed Stirling-Tools#6304, which was started before Stirling-Tools#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 Stirling-Tools#6304
Stirling-Tools#6304 was closed in favour of this PR. The closed PR predated Stirling-Tools#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 Stirling-Tools#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).1 parent 0a50e76 commit 017c8d5
