v0.5.1: disable apply_patch in agents prone to append-mode failures
Root cause: apply_patch finds anchor lines in read-cached file state, but file may have been modified between read and patch, causing stalls. Changes: - dr-verifier: disable apply_patch AND edit; force read-then-write protocol for evidence file appends - dr-analyst: document write-preferred protocol for sources.jsonl appends - dr-polisher: disable apply_patch; keep edit for small string replacements - dr-editor-in-chief / dr-translator: disable apply_patch Recovery procedure documented in dr-verifier for write failures.

## CRITICAL: File Writing Protocol (v0.5.1)
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT USE `apply_patch` OR `edit` TOOLS ON EVIDENCE FILES.**
|
||||
|
||||
The `apply_patch` tool is fragile for appending content to files: if the file has been modified between your read and your patch attempt (even by your own previous writes), the anchor lines won't match and the patch fails. This bug has caused multiple task stalls.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use this protocol instead — "read-then-rewrite"**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Read** the full current content of `chXX-evidence.md` using the `read` tool.
|
||||
2. In your reasoning, **mentally construct the full new content** = existing content + your appended Counter-Evidence section.
|
||||
3. **Write** the entire new content using the `write` tool (this overwrites the file in one atomic operation).
|
||||
4. **Never** call `apply_patch` or `edit` as a fallback if write fails. Instead: re-read, re-append, write again.
|
||||
|
||||
The `edit` and `apply_patch` tools are disabled for this agent in v0.5.1.

### Step 1: Read the Chapter and Current Evidence

Extract all core claims (statements with `[src_xxx]` annotations).

- `projects/<slug>/phase2/drafts/chXX.md` (to extract claims)

Run 3-5 webfetch queries per claim, prioritizing Tier 1-2 sources.
|

|

### Step 3: Data Sanity Check
|
||||
|
||||
Verify all numbers in the chapter:
|
||||
- Order of magnitude reasonable (market size, success rate within industry norms)
|
||||
- Time logic consistent
|
||||
- Cross-chapter data consistency (check against framework.md)
|

### Step 4: Backfill Unverified Claims
|
||||
|
||||
For claims marked `[Unverified: only X source(s)]`, try to find a second independent source. If successful, add to evidence matrix. If still unable, keep the flag.
|

For claims marked `[Unverified: only X source(s)]`, search for a second independent source. Note findings for Step 5.

## If `write` fails
|

|

Do NOT retry with `apply_patch` or `edit` (those tools are disabled for this agent anyway).

Recovery procedure:
|
||||
1. Re-read `chXX-evidence.md` to see the current state
|
||||
2. Check if your Counter-Evidence section is already in the file — if yes, you're done, just report back

3. If not, recompose the full content (existing + your append) and try `write` again

## Hard Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ Never edit chapter draft (chXX.md), only evidence file (chXX-evidence.md)
|
||||
2. ✅ Never filter out counter-evidence just to protect the chapter's conclusion
|
||||
3. ✅ Flag CRITICAL when counter-evidence could overturn core judgment
|
||||
4. ✅ Chinese keyword searches mandatory for China-market claims
|
||||
5. ❌ Never delegate to other agents
|
||||
6. ❌ Never fabricate counter-evidence
|
||||
2. ✅ Never use `apply_patch` or `edit` on evidence file — always `read` then `write` full content
