Bucket ctx.duration_s against SESSION_DURATION_SHORT_MAX (60s) /
MEDIUM_MAX (600s) / LONG_MAX (3600s); else marathon. Direct
measurement, confidence 0.85. Skip emission only when no commands
and zero duration. New _features/temporal.py module opens Phase E.
For each errored command, check whether the next command's
first_token_hash is in {man, help, info} (precomputed at module
load). At least one match → present, else absent. The --help / -h
flag forms aren't first tokens; v0.2 will reconsider once arg-token
hashing is justified by corpus.
Compares median within-command IAT for commands following an errored
command vs commands following a successful one. Relative absolute delta
buckets to low / moderate / high. Skips when either group is empty
(no errors, or no clean baseline). v0.1; D.8 re-tunes.
Modal response across Command.errored=True commands:
* same first_token_hash on next command → rerun
* different first_token_hash → switch
* no next command → abort
Tiebreak in registry order. The fourth registry value 'modify'
requires within-command arg diffing (PII boundary); deferred to v0.2.
Distribution of inter-command IATs bucketed against IKI_THINK_MAX_S
(deep) and INTER_CMD_INSTANT_MAX (reactive); fall-through is shallow.
v0.1 thresholds; D.8 re-tunes.
Two-axis classification over the first_token_hash sequence:
repetition_rate (drilling) vs backtrack_rate (jumping among prior
tools). chaotic/targeted/methodical buckets. v0.1 thresholds; D.8
re-tunes.
Composite over three [0, 1]-clipped sub-signals (chunking variance,
error rate from D.0's Command.errored, pace variability), mean-aggregated
and bucketed against COGNITIVE_LOAD_LOW_MAX / COGNITIVE_LOAD_MEDIUM_MAX.
Components missing data drop out of the mean rather than zeroing it.
v0.1 thresholds; D.8 re-tunes once D.2-D.7 are stable. Confidence
held at 0.60 (composite over soft sub-signals) and halved below the
5-command sample-size floor.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase B Step B.3. Replaces the prototype's
two-line "0 vs >0 backspaces" placeholder with a backspace-timing
classifier that honours the registry's full vocabulary.
* SessionContext gains backspace_count, backspace_iats (IAT from
each backspace back to the preceding non-backspace input event),
and kill_line_count (^U / ^W). Built by _scan_correction_signals,
which retains only counts and timing aggregates — no character
data leaves the helper, in line with the BEHAVE PII discipline.
* _features/motor.py:error_correction(ctx) emits one Observation
in {immediate, deferred, absent, route_around}.
- 0 backspaces + ≥1 ^U/^W → route_around (rewrite, not correct)
- 0 backspaces + 0 kill-lines → absent
- backspaces with median IAT ≤ 500 ms → immediate
- slower → deferred
Confidence 0.65 / 0.65 / 0.55 / 0.55.
* < 3 inputs → skip emit.
* Calibration grid widened to include motor.error_correction;
green across all five shards.
Tests cover all four buckets, the < 3 inputs skip, and the PII
regression (raw command body never appears in the serialised
observation).
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase B Step B.2. First principled
implementation — the prototype doesn't ship this primitive at all.
* _features/motor.py:motor_stability(ctx) emits one Observation
in {steady, variable, tremor}. Reuses ctx.typing_bursts from B.1.
* Tremor proxy: fraction of within-burst IATs below
TREMOR_FAST_FLOOR_S (30 ms — humans can't sustain sub-50 ms IATs).
≥ TREMOR_RATE_MIN (10%) sub-floor → tremor (double-press / motor
twitch / stuck-key).
* Otherwise median burst CV decides: < CV_STEADY_MAX → steady,
else → variable. Confidence 0.70 / 0.60 / 0.65.
* No typing bursts or fewer than 5 within-burst IATs → skip emit.
* Calibration grid widened to include motor.motor_stability; green
across all five shards.
Tests cover all three buckets + skip paths.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase B Step B.1.
* SessionContext gains typing_bursts: tuple[tuple[float, ...], ...]
built by _split_typing_bursts(iats) — splits at gaps > IKI_THINK_MAX_S
(1.5s) and drops bursts of fewer than 3 IATs. Mirrors prototype's
_split_into_bursts at BEHAVE/prototype_extractors/shell/extract.py:275.
* _features/motor.py:keystroke_cadence(ctx) emits one Observation
in {steady, bursty, hunt_and_peck, machine}. Median CV across
typing bursts; mean IKI < IKI_MACHINE_MAX_S paired with CV <
CV_MACHINE_MAX → machine. Confidence 0.85/0.70/0.65/0.60 per the
prototype's calibration history.
* < MIN_INPUTS_FOR_CADENCE inputs or zero typing bursts → skip
emission. v0.1 emits only the burst-CV variant; the prototype's
NAIVE session-CV variant is parked for v0.2.
* Calibration grid widened (PHASE_A_PRIMITIVES → PHASE_AB_PRIMITIVES)
to include motor.keystroke_cadence. Grid green across all five
shards.
Tests: too-few-inputs → no emit, all-think-pauses → no burst → no
emit, uniform IATs → steady, sub-5ms → machine, mixed-pace → bursty,
extreme bimodal → hunt_and_peck.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 7. The orthogonal axis — does the
operator's pause-after-command correlate with bytes of output they
just saw? Splits HUMAN/CLAUDE-CL (closed_loop) from LW-sim/CLAUDE-FF
(fire_and_forget); cuts ACROSS the LLM/human axis.
* _features/cognitive.py:feedback_loop_engagement(ctx) emits one
Observation in {closed_loop, fire_and_forget, unknown}.
* Pearson correlation between ctx.output_per_cmd[i] and
ctx.inter_cmd_iats[i] (paired by construction in Step 4); via
statistics.correlation with constant-series fallback to "unknown".
* r > FEEDBACK_CORRELATION_MIN (0.30) → closed_loop; otherwise
(zero, negative, or undefined) → fire_and_forget.
* First primitive that depends on output events: zero output events
in the shard or fewer than FEEDBACK_MIN_PAIRS (5) pairs → emit
"unknown" at confidence 1.0 (the absence-of-data is itself a
high-confidence answer). Zero-command session skips entirely.
Tests: no-output → unknown, few-pairs → unknown, strong positive r
→ closed_loop, constant pace → fire_and_forget/unknown,
negative r → fire_and_forget.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 6. Content-based playbook-vs-
adaptive split. Splits CLAUDE-FF (linear_playbook, ~10 distinct
tools) from CLAUDE-CL (adaptive_branching, 5-6 tools with curl
re-invoked) per the 2026-05-02 empirical anchor.
* _features/cognitive.py:command_branch_diversity(ctx) emits one
Observation in {linear_playbook, adaptive_branching, unknown}.
* unique_first_token_hashes / total_commands ratio. ≥ 0.80 →
linear_playbook, otherwise adaptive_branching (the doc instructs
bias-to-adaptive in the middle band — that's the discriminative
signal we actually want).
* < 5 commands → "unknown" at confidence 1.0 (the absence of data
is itself a high-confidence answer per the registry's allowed
vocabulary). Zero-command session skips emission entirely.
Tests cover unique-tokens → linear, repeated-tokens → adaptive,
middle band → adaptive (bias), under-floor → unknown @ 1.0, plus
PII regression: raw tokens never appear in the serialised
observation.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 5. Classifies the operator's
thinking pace between commands. Splits LW-sim / CLAUDE-FF /
CLAUDE-CL.
* _features/cognitive.py:inter_command_latency_class(ctx) emits one
Observation in {instant, typing_speed, deliberate,
llm_lightweight, llm_heavyweight, long}, computed as the median
of ctx.inter_cmd_iats bucketed against the prototype thresholds
(v0.2 split: lightweight 2-8s, heavyweight 8-30s).
* Sample-size honesty: < 5 commands halves confidence (0.40 vs
0.80) per BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md.
* Threshold consts (INTER_CMD_*_MAX, MIN_COMMANDS_FOR_FULL_CONFIDENCE,
plus parked Step 6/7/8 thresholds for the next three commits)
added to _thresholds.py.
Tests cover all six buckets at empirically-anchored IATs (15s ≈
Claude Opus driving recon via tmux send-keys), plus the
single-command no-IAT and low-sample-count paths.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 3. Same paste-event ratio as
motor.input_modality but coarser-bucketed: this is the *habit*
signal (does the operator reach for paste at all?), where
input_modality is the dominant-channel signal.
* _features/motor.py:paste_burst_rate(ctx) emits one Observation
per session in {none, occasional, habitual} with confidence
0.70 / 0.70 / 0.80.
* Thresholds: PASTE_RATE_OCCASIONAL_MIN=0.10,
PASTE_RATE_HABITUAL_MIN=0.50.
Splits YOU-sim from LW/CLAUDE-FF/CLAUDE-CL — LLM-driven sessions
paste habitually, real humans rarely paste.
Tests: pure-typed → none; 1-paste-in-10 → occasional;
paste-majority → habitual; output-only → no observation; habitual
confidence > occasional confidence.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 2. The first primitive — picked
first because it has the highest discriminative value (HUMAN vs
everyone) and the simplest implementation (paste-event ratio over
total inputs).
* _features/motor.py:input_modality(ctx) emits one Observation
per session in {typed, pasted, mixed} with confidence 0.75 / 0.70.
* _features/_emit.py centralises the make_observation helper so
every feature module gets the same Window/source/evidence_ref
boilerplate without copy-paste.
* Thresholds inherited from the prototype's calibration history
(MODALITY_PASTED_MIN=0.40, MODALITY_TYPED_MAX=0.05).
* Zero-input session skips emission — registry doesn't admit
"unknown" here.
Tests: pure-typed → typed, pure-pasted → pasted, mixed → mixed,
output-only session → no observation, full envelope round-trip.
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 0. Lays the package skeleton
(__init__/extract/_parse/_ctx/_thresholds/_features) with empty
FEATURES = (), so the worker plumbing in BEHAVE-INTEGRATION Phase 4
has a stable import path before any primitive lands.
extract_session() builds a SessionContext once and fans the
registered feature functions across it; at Step 0 that fan-out is
empty and the function yields nothing. Step 1 (asciinema parser +
paste-burst detector) and Step 2 (motor.input_modality) land next.
Smoke suite asserts the empty contract: empty stream → no
observations, single event → t_start == t_end, multi-event → events
routed into input_events / output_events by kind, evidence_ref
defaults to "session:<sid>" or honours an explicit override.
