# n8n Guardrails and Patterns
Use this page when your RAG or agent workflow runs in **n8n**. It maps common automation failures to the exact structural fixes in the Problem Map and gives a minimal recipe you can paste into a workflow.
**Core acceptance**
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45
- coverage ≥ 0.70 for the target section
- λ stays convergent across 3 paraphrases
---
## Typical breakpoints and the right fix
- Nodes fire before dependencies are ready
Fix No.14: **Bootstrap Ordering** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md)
- First call after deploy crashes or uses wrong env/secret
Fix No.16: **Pre-Deploy Collapse** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/predeploy-collapse.md)
- Circular waits between index build and retriever, or Merge nodes loop forever
Fix No.15: **Deployment Deadlock** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/deployment-deadlock.md)
- High vector similarity but wrong meaning
Fix No.5: **Embedding ≠ Semantic** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md)
- Wrong snippet chosen or citations do not line up
Fix No.8: **Retrieval Traceability** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
Contract the payload: **Data Contracts** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)
- Hybrid retrieval performs worse than a single retriever
Pattern: **Query Parsing Split** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_query_parsing_split.md)
Also review: **Rerankers** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md)
- Some facts never surface even though indexed
Pattern: **Vectorstore Fragmentation** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md)
- Two sources get merged in the answer
Pattern: **Symbolic Constraint Unlock (SCU)** → [Open](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_symbolic_constraint_unlock.md)

## Minimal setup checklist for any n8n flow
1) **Warm-up fence before RAG or LLM nodes**
Validate `VECTOR_READY == true`, `INDEX_HASH` matches, and secrets exist.
If not ready, short-circuit to a Wait node then retry with a capped counter.
Spec: [Bootstrap Ordering](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md)
2) **Idempotency and dedupe**
Compute `dedupe_key = sha256(source_id + revision + index_hash)`.
Check or write the key using Redis, Postgres, or n8ns Data Store. Drop duplicates.
3) **RAG boundary contract**
Require fields: `snippet_id`, `section_id`, `source_url`, `offsets`, `tokens`.
Enforce cite then explain. Forbid cross section reuse.
Specs: [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md) ·
[Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
4) **Observability probes**
Log ΔS(question, retrieved). Log λ per step: retrieve, assemble, reason.
Alert when ΔS ≥ 0.60 or λ flips divergent.
Overview: [RAG Architecture & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rag-architecture-and-recovery.md)
5) **Concurrency guard**
Use a single writer for index updates. Set queue mode or global mutex for write steps.
See: [Deployment Deadlock](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/deployment-deadlock.md)
6) **Regression gate**
Require coverage ≥ 0.70 and ΔS ≤ 0.45 before publishing.
Eval: [RAG Precision/Recall](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/eval/eval_rag_precision_recall.md)

## n8n recipe you can copy
> Replace the concrete nodes with your stack. Keep the guardrails.
1. **Trigger**
Fixed `source_id` and `revision`. Record `wf_rev`.
2. **Warm-up Check (Code node)**
Pull `INDEX_HASH`, `VECTOR_READY`, and secrets.
If not ready, set `ready=false`.
3. **Branch: Not ready**
Wait 3090 seconds. Increment a retry counter. Stop after N attempts.
4. **Branch: Ready**
**Retrieval node**
- Call retriever with explicit metric and same analyzer as the writer.
- Emit `snippet_id`, `section_id`, `source_url`, `offsets`, `tokens`.
**ΔS probe node**
- Compute ΔS(question, retrieved). If ΔS ≥ 0.60 set `needs_fix=true`.
**LLM node**
- Model reads TXT OS and follows the WFGY schema. Enforce cite then explain.
**Trace sink**
- Store `question`, `snippet_id`, `ΔS`, `λ_state`, `INDEX_HASH`, `dedupe_key`.
**Idempotency guard**
- Before side effects, check the KV for `dedupe_key`. Skip if it already exists.

## Copy-paste prompt for the LLM node
```
I uploaded TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map files.
This n8n flow retrieved {k} snippets with fields {snippet\_id, section\_id, source\_url, offsets}.
Question: "{user\_question}"
Do:
1. Validate cite-then-explain. If citations are missing, fail fast and return the fix tip.
2. If ΔS(question, retrieved) ≥ 0.60, propose the minimal structural fix referencing:
retrieval-playbook, retrieval-traceability, data-contracts, rerankers.
3. Return a JSON plan:
{ "citations": \[...], "answer": "...", "λ\_state": "→|←|<>|×", "ΔS": 0.xx, "next\_fix": "..." }
Keep it auditable and short.
```
---
## Common n8n gotchas
- **Set** or **Move** nodes rename fields and break your data contract
Lock field names and run a schema check before the LLM node.
- Merge or Split In Batches cause duplicate writes
Add a single writer stage with idempotency keys and a queue.
- Cron triggers overlap with long runs
Use a global mutex or skip if `dedupe_key` already exists.
- HyDE prompt built inside the flow differs from the API client
Keep tokenizer and casing identical, or switch to reranking.
See: [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md)
---
## When to escalate
- ΔS stays ≥ 0.60 after chunk and retrieval fixes
Rebuild index with explicit metric and normalization.
See: [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md)
- Answers alternate across runs with identical input
Investigate memory desync and version skew.
