This page is for workflows orchestrated inside **GoHighLevel**. Use it when your RAG or agent flow runs through GHL Workflows, Webhooks, or Custom Actions and starts to misbehave. **Acceptance targets** - ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 - coverage ≥ 0.70 to the target section - λ stays convergent across 3 paraphrases --- ## Typical breakpoints → exact fixes - Triggers fire before data or index is actually ready Fix No.14: **Bootstrap Ordering** → [bootstrap-ordering.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md) - First call after deploy crashes or picks the wrong secret Fix No.16: **Pre-Deploy Collapse** → [predeploy-collapse.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/predeploy-collapse.md) - Circular waits between CRM updates, webhooks, background jobs Fix No.15: **Deployment Deadlock** → [deployment-deadlock.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/deployment-deadlock.md) - High cosine similarity but the meaning is off Fix No.5: **Embedding ≠ Semantic** → [embedding-vs-semantic.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md) - Snippet feels unrelated or citations don’t match the source Fix No.8: **Retrieval Traceability** → [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) Contract the payload with **Data Contracts** → [data-contracts.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md) - Hybrid retrieval (external tools) does worse than a single retriever Pattern: **Query Parsing Split** → [pattern_query_parsing_split.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_query_parsing_split.md) Also review **Rerankers** → [rerankers.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md) - Facts are indexed yet never show up Pattern: **Vectorstore Fragmentation** → [pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md) - Two sources get blended into one answer in long flows Pattern: **Symbolic Constraint Unlock (SCU)** → [pattern_symbolic_constraint_unlock.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_symbolic_constraint_unlock.md) --- ## Minimal GHL workflow checklist 1) **Warm-up fence** Before any LLM step, ping a health endpoint that checks `VECTOR_READY`, `INDEX_HASH`, and `secret_rev`. If not ready, delay or requeue. Spec lives in [bootstrap-ordering.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md). 2) **Idempotency** Build `dedupe_key = sha256(contact_id + wf_rev + index_hash)` in a Custom Action. Store in KV or a custom field, drop duplicates. 3) **RAG boundary contract** Always pass `snippet_id`, `section_id`, `source_url`, `offsets`, `tokens`. Enforce cite then explain. Specs: [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) · [data-contracts.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md) 4) **Observability probes** Log ΔS(question, retrieved) and λ per stage. Alert on ΔS ≥ 0.60 or λ divergent. Overview map: [RAG Architecture & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rag-architecture-and-recovery.md) 5) **Single writer** Route CRM writes and external publishes through one writer branch with dedupe. See: [deployment-deadlock.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/deployment-deadlock.md) 6) **Regression gate** Require coverage ≥ 0.70 and ΔS ≤ 0.45 before publish. Eval spec: [eval_rag_precision_recall.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/eval/eval_rag_precision_recall.md) --- ## Copy-paste prompt for the GHL LLM step ``` I uploaded TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map files. This GHL workflow retrieved {k} snippets with fields {snippet\_id, section\_id, source\_url, offsets}. Question: "{user\_question}" Do: 1. Enforce cite-then-explain. If any citation is missing, stop and return which fix page to open. 2. Compute ΔS(question, retrieved). If ΔS ≥ 0.60, point me to the minimal structural fix: retrieval-playbook, retrieval-traceability, data-contracts, rerankers. 3. Output compact JSON: { "citations": \[...], "answer": "...", "λ\_state": "→|←|<>|×", "ΔS": 0.xx, "next\_fix": "..." } ``` --- ## Common GHL gotchas - **Connection switching** between staging and prod. Stamp `env`, `INDEX_HASH`, `secret_rev` in traces and block on mismatch. - **Parallel branches** touching the same contact or store. Use a mutex or single writer, keep writes idempotent. - **Webhook payload** silently renames fields. Validate against the data contract before the LLM. - **External rate limits** make hybrids unstable. Prefer dense retriever plus reranking, keep params logged. --- ## When to escalate - ΔS stays ≥ 0.60 after chunk and retrieval fixes → rebuild index with explicit metric and normalization. See [retrieval-playbook.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md) - Same input flips answers between runs → check version skew and memory desync.
