This page gives an operational checklist for Meta Llama based assistants inside RAG and agent stacks. It maps the usual failure modes to concrete WFGY fixes and acceptance targets.
## Acceptance targets
- ΔS(question, retrieved_context) ≤ 0.45
- Coverage of retrieved vs target section ≥ 0.70
- λ_observe stays convergent across 3 paraphrases
- E_resonance flat on long windows

## Common failure patterns seen with Llama setups
1) **Plausible but wrong answers even when chunks look fine**
Map to: [Interpretation Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-collapse.md) and [Hallucination & Chunk Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/hallucination.md).
Check also [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md) and the [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md).
2) **Degradation in long dialogs or large context**
Map to: [Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md) and [Entropy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md).
3) **Role loss after tool calls or agent hops**
Map to: [Multi-Agent Problems](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/Multi-Agent_Problems.md) and deep dive [Role Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/multi-agent-chaos/role-drift.md).
4) **Overconfident answers without citations**
Map to: [Bluffing / Overconfidence](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bluffing.md). Enforce traceable schemas with [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) and [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md).
5) **Hybrid retrieval oscillation, high similarity but wrong meaning**
Map to: [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md) and [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md). Tune using the [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md).
6) **Cross-source merging and leakage**
Map to: Symbolic Constraint Unlock pattern
→ [SCU pattern](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_symbolic_constraint_unlock.md) with strict [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md).
7) **Tokenizer or locale mismatch on non-English corpora**
Map to: [Multilingual Guide](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/multilingual-guide.md) and re-probe with [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md).

## WFGY repair map for Llama
- **Measure**
ΔS probes on question ↔ retrieved and retrieved ↔ ground. Use the [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md) plus [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md).
- **Localize**
Tag λ_observe at retrieval, prompt assembly, and reasoning. If retrieval λ is convergent but reasoning λ flips, jump to [Interpretation Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-collapse.md).
- **Repair**
Apply BBMC for anchor re-alignment, BBAM for variance clamp on long windows, BBCR for controlled reset on dead ends, BBPF for alternate path search. See:
[Logic Collapse & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md),
[Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md),
[Entropy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md).
- **Lock schema**
Enforce citation-first and per-source fences with
[Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) and [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md).

## Quick triage steps
1) Probe ΔS(question, retrieved_context). If ≥ 0.60 open:
[Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md) and [Hallucination](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/hallucination.md).
2) Vary k in {5, 10, 20} and chart ΔS vs k. Flat-high curve points to index or metric mismatch
→ [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md).
3) If chunks are correct but logic is wrong, mark λ at reasoning and apply BBCR + BBAM
→ [Interpretation Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-collapse.md) and [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md).
4) For long dialogs, verify joins with ΔS ≤ 0.50 and clamp variance
→ [Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md) and [Entropy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md).
5) If sources bleed, enforce SCU and per-section fences
→ [SCU pattern](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_symbolic_constraint_unlock.md) and [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md).

## Minimal safe prompt you can paste
```
I uploaded TXT OS. Read WFGY formulas and Problem Map pages.
My stack runs on Meta Llama.
symptom: \[describe]
traces: \[ΔS probes, λ states, short logs]
Tell me:
1. the failing layer and why,
2. the exact WFGY page to open next,
3. the minimal steps to push ΔS ≤ 0.45 with convergent λ,
4. how to verify the fix with a reproducible test.
```

## Escalation and ops
- If ΔS stays ≥ 0.60 after retrieval and prompt fixes, change structure
→ [Logic Collapse & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md).
- For runtime surprises, drift after deployment, or mixed agent stacks
