Core 16 failures

#	Symptom	Problem ID	Solution
1	Model retrieves chunks that look right but answer is wrong/irrelevant	#1 Hallucination & Chunk Drift	hallucination.md
2	Retrieved chunk is correct, yet reasoning chain collapses	#2 Interpretation Collapse	retrieval-collapse.md
3	Multi-step tasks drift off topic after a few hops	#3 Long Reasoning Chains	context-drift.md
4	Model answers confidently with made-up facts	#4 Bluffing / Overconfidence	bluffing.md
5	High cosine similarity but semantic meaning is wrong	#5 Semantic ≠ Embedding	embedding-vs-semantic.md
6	Logic dead-ends; model resets or loops nonsense	#6 Logic Collapse & Recovery	logic-collapse.md
7	Long conversation: model forgets previous context	#7 Memory Breaks Across Sessions	memory-coherence.md
8	Pipeline is opaque; unable to trace failure path	#8 Debugging is a Black Box	retrieval-traceability.md
9	Attention melts; output incoherent or repetitive	#9 Entropy Collapse	entropy-collapse.md
10	Responses become flat, literal, lose creativity	#10 Creative Freeze	creative-freeze.md
11	Formal or symbolic prompts break the model	#11 Symbolic Collapse	symbolic-collapse.md
12	Self-reference / paradox crashes reasoning	#12 Philosophical Recursion	philosophical-recursion.md
13	Multiple agents overwrite or misalign logic (overview)	#13 Multi-Agent Chaos	Multi-Agent_Problems.md
14	System runs but outputs nothing; no visible error (boot order)	#14 Bootstrap Ordering Failure	bootstrap-ordering.md
15	System never enters expected state; actions silently stall	#15 Deployment Deadlock	deployment-deadlock.md
16	First prod call after deploy crashes or responds with “empty logic”	#16 Pre-Deploy Collapse	predeploy-collapse.md

Extended patterns (targeted fixes)

Pattern	When to use	Fix page
Query Parsing Split (HyDE/BM25 hybrid performs worse than single)	Hybrid retrieval where dense/sparse tokenize differently or weight splits	patterns/pattern_query_parsing_split.md
Symbolic Constraint Unlock (SCU)	Model merges “who said what” across sources; citation cross-bleed	patterns/pattern_symbolic_constraint_unlock.md
Hallucination Re-entry	You correct the model, but the wrong claim returns later	patterns/pattern_hallucination_reentry.md
Memory Desync	Different tabs/sessions flip between old/new facts	patterns/pattern_memory_desync.md
Vectorstore Fragmentation	Some facts cannot be retrieved though indexed	patterns/pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md
Bootstrap Deadlock (RAG-boot fence)	Tools fire before data/index is ready	patterns/pattern_bootstrap_deadlock.md
Role Drift (multi-agent deep dive)	Agent personas swap/bleed; Scout starts acting as Medic	multi-agent-chaos/role-drift.md
Cross-Agent Memory Overwrite	Agent B erases Agent A’s plan/state	multi-agent-chaos/memory-overwrite.md

Tip: If symptoms are unclear, run a ΔS / λ_observe check.

• Triage: ΔS ≥ 0.60 → treat as high-risk; 0.40–0.60 with divergent/recursive λ → investigate.
• Accept: aim for ΔS ≤ 0.45 with convergent λ and stable E_resonance.
