Use this page when your CX bot or agent is built in **Microsoft Copilot Studio** (former Power Virtual Agents) and touches Dataverse, Teams, Power Automate, or custom connectors. The table below routes common failures to the exact WFGY fix page with measurable acceptance targets.

- Snippet and citation schema: [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)

## Core acceptance
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45
- Coverage ≥ 0.70 to the target section
- λ stays convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds
- E_resonance flat on long windows

---

## Fix in 60 seconds
1) **Measure ΔS**  
   Compute ΔS(question, retrieved) and ΔS(retrieved, expected anchor).  
   Stable < 0.40, transitional 0.40–0.60, risk ≥ 0.60.

2) **Probe with λ_observe**  
   Vary k in retrieval and reorder headers. If ΔS is flat and high, suspect metric or index mismatch. If λ flips when headers move, lock the schema.

3) **Apply the module**  
- Retrieval drift → BBMC plus [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)  
- Reasoning collapse → BBCR bridge plus BBAM variance clamp, then verify with [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md)  
- Hallucination re entry after correction → [Pattern: Hallucination Re-entry](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_hallucination_reentry.md)

## Typical Copilot Studio breakpoints → exact fix
- **Power Automate handoff runs before dependencies are ready**  
  Use a warm up fence and backoff. See [Bootstrap Ordering](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md).

- **Dataverse or SharePoint retrieval shows high similarity but wrong snippet**  
  Wrong metric or fragmented store. See [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md) and [Vectorstore Fragmentation](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md).

- **Teams channel memory collides across threads**  
  Split memory namespaces and lock writes by `mem_rev` and `mem_hash`. See [Multi-Agent Problems](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/Multi-Agent_Problems.md).

- **Connector tool JSON gets loose and objects vary**  
  Enforce strict argument schemas and echo schema on each step. See [Prompt Injection](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/prompt-injection.md) and [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md).

- **Hybrid retrieval performs worse than a single source**  
  Lock the two stage query and rerank deterministically. See [Query Parsing Split](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_query_parsing_split.md) and [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md).

- **Live answers flip after publish**  
  Add probes for ΔS and λ, add backoff guards. See [Live Monitoring for RAG](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/ops/live_monitoring_rag.md) and [Debug Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/ops/debug_playbook.md).

---

## Deep diagnostics
- **Three paraphrase probe**  
  Ask the same question three ways. Log ΔS and λ for each. If λ flips on harmless phrasing, clamp with BBAM and tighten snippet schema.

- **Anchor triangulation**  
  Compare ΔS to the expected section and to a decoy. If both are close, re chunk and re embed. See [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md).

- **Chain length audit**  
  If entropy rises after many steps, split the plan and re join with a BBCR bridge. See [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).

## Copy paste prompt
```txt
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map loaded.

My Copilot Studio issue:
- symptom: [brief]
- traces: ΔS(question,retrieved)=..., ΔS(retrieved,anchor)=..., λ across 3 paraphrases
- context: connector = {Dataverse|SharePoint|Web}, handoff = {Power Automate|Teams}, memory = {per-thread|global}

Tell me:
1) failing layer and why,
2) which WFGY page to open from this repo,
3) minimal steps to push ΔS ≤ 0.45 and keep λ convergent,
4) how to verify with a reproducible test.
Use BBMC, BBPF, BBCR, BBAM when relevant.
