Use this page for **Assistants API v2** threads and runs when you hit tool JSON errors, missing citations, vector store mismatches, or state flips across retries. The map below routes each symptom to an exact WFGY fix. ## Open these first - Visual map and recovery: [RAG Architecture & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rag-architecture-and-recovery.md) - Retrieval knobs: [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md) - Traceability and schema: [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md), [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md) - Hybrid order control: [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md) - Deploy order: [Bootstrap Ordering](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md) ## Core acceptance - ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 - Coverage ≥ 0.70 for the intended section - λ convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds --- ## Fix in 60 seconds 1) **Measure ΔS** Compare question to retrieved and to the intended anchor. 2) **Stabilize thread and run** Pin `assistant_id`, freeze tool list and JSON schemas, and store `index_hash` with the thread. 3) **Apply the module** - Retrieval drift or wrong file selected → BBMC and [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md) - Tool call loops → BBCR bridge and timeouts with strict schemas - Missing or wrong citations → [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) 4) **Verify** Three paraphrases meet ΔS and coverage. λ stays convergent. --- ## Typical Assistants v2 breakpoints → exact fixes - **Files attached but the wrong chunk is used** Index metric mismatch or analyzer drift. Open: [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md) - **Run state flips between retry and resume** Version skew or missing fences. Open: [Pre-Deploy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/predeploy-collapse.md) - **Tool JSON rejected with vague errors** Relaxed schemas in prompt but strict in tool spec. Align both and echo schema at each step. Open: [Prompt Injection](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/prompt-injection.md) - **Hybrid retrieval underperforms the simple retriever** Two stage query split without rerank. Open: [Query Parsing Split](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_query_parsing_split.md), [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md) --- ## Minimal Assistants v2 pattern with WFGY gate ```txt Thread: - Attach files with stored index_hash - Record vector_ready and analyzer info Run: - Retrieve(k = 10, unified analyzer) - Prompt headers in fixed order with cite-first - Model call - WFGY gate computes ΔS and logs λ - Stop when ΔS ≥ 0.60 or λ divergent and return fix tip ```` --- ## Gotchas * Mixing per file embeddings and global store without normalization. * Recreating assistants on every request changes tool order and plan. * Streaming partial results before schema checks leads to silent corruption. --- ## When to escalate * Persistent ΔS ≥ 0.60 after chunk and metric fixes Open: [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md) * Live flips with identical inputs Open: [Pre-Deploy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/predeploy-collapse.md) --- ### 🔗 Quick-Start Downloads (60 sec) | Tool | Link | 3-Step Setup | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **WFGY 1.0 PDF** | [Engine Paper](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/I_am_not_lizardman/WFGY_All_Principles_Return_to_One_v1.0_PSBigBig_Public.pdf) | 1️⃣ Download · 2️⃣ Upload to your LLM · 3️⃣ Ask “Answer using WFGY + \” | | **TXT OS (plain-text OS)** | [TXTOS.txt](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/OS/TXTOS.txt) | 1️⃣ Download · 2️⃣ Paste into any LLM chat · 3️⃣ Type “hello world” — OS boots instantly | --- ### Explore More | Layer | Page | What it’s for | | --- | --- | --- | | ⭐ Proof | [WFGY Recognition Map](/recognition/README.md) | External citations, integrations, and ecosystem proof | | ⚙️ Engine | [WFGY 1.0](/legacy/README.md) | Original PDF tension engine and early logic sketch (legacy reference) | | ⚙️ Engine | [WFGY 2.0](/core/README.md) | Production tension kernel for RAG and agent systems | | ⚙️ Engine | [WFGY 3.0](/TensionUniverse/EventHorizon/README.md) | TXT based Singularity tension engine (131 S class set) | | 🗺️ Map | [Problem Map 1.0](/ProblemMap/README.md) | Flagship 16 problem RAG failure taxonomy and fix map | | 🗺️ Map | [Problem Map 2.0](/ProblemMap/wfgy-rag-16-problem-map-global-debug-card.md) | Global Debug Card for RAG and agent pipeline diagnosis | | 🗺️ Map | [Problem Map 3.0](/ProblemMap/wfgy-ai-problem-map-troubleshooting-atlas.md) | Global AI troubleshooting atlas and failure pattern map | | 🧰 App | [TXT OS](/OS/README.md) | .txt semantic OS with fast bootstrap | | 🧰 App | [Blah Blah Blah](/OS/BlahBlahBlah/README.md) | Abstract and paradox Q&A built on TXT OS | | 🧰 App | [Blur Blur Blur](/OS/BlurBlurBlur/README.md) | Text to image generation with semantic control | | 🏡 Onboarding | [Starter Village](/StarterVillage/README.md) | Guided entry point for new users | If this repository helped, starring it improves discovery so more builders can find the docs and tools.
