If you need the full triage and all prescriptions, return to the Emergency Room lobby.

A focused guide to stabilize Freshchat based CX bots that call RAG, tools, human handoff, and long threads. Use this page to locate the failing layer fast, then jump into the exact WFGY repair.

Core acceptance

ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45
Coverage ≥ 0.70 for the target section
λ remains convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds
E_resonance flat on long windows

Fix in 60 seconds

Measure ΔS Compute ΔS(question, retrieved) and ΔS(retrieved, expected anchor). Stable < 0.40, transitional 0.40–0.60, risk ≥ 0.60.
Probe λ_observe Vary k in retrieval and reorder prompt headers. If λ flips, lock the schema and clamp variance with BBAM.
Apply the module

Retrieval drift → BBMC + Data Contracts
Reasoning collapse → BBCR bridge + BBAM, verify with Logic Collapse
Dead ends in long runs → BBPF alternate paths

Verify Coverage ≥ 0.70 on three paraphrases, λ convergent on two seeds, ΔS ≤ 0.45.

Typical Freshchat breakpoints and the right fix

Webhook storm, duplicate executions after agent transfer. Add idempotency keys and a fence before side effects. Open: Bootstrap Ordering
Wrong answer despite high similarity. Metric or analyzer mismatch, fragmented store. Open: Embedding ≠ Semantic, Vectorstore Fragmentation
Citations do not line up with the shown section. Snippet schema missing offsets and ids. Open: Retrieval Traceability, Data Contracts
Hybrid retrievers underperform a single retriever. HyDE plus BM25 query split, mis weighted rerank. Open: Pattern: Query Parsing Split, Rerankers
Tool steps return free text or partial JSON. Contract is loose, injection through user fields. Open: Prompt Injection
Answers flip between sessions after a human handoff. Memory namespace collisions and role drift. Open: Multi-Agent Problems, deep dive: role drift
First call after deploy crashes or hits old index. Version skew or secret not ready. Open: Pre-deploy Collapse, Deployment Deadlock

Deep diagnostics

Three paraphrase probe. Ask the same question three ways, log ΔS and λ. If λ flips on harmless paraphrase, tighten snippet schema and apply BBAM.
Anchor triangulation. Compare ΔS to the expected anchor section and to a decoy section. If close for both, re chunk and re embed, then rerank deterministically.
Chain length audit. If entropy rises after 25 to 40 steps, split plan, bridge with BBCR. See Context Drift, Entropy Collapse.

Copy paste prompt for the LLM step

You have TXTOS and the WFGY Problem Map loaded.

My Freshchat issue:
- symptom: [one line]
- traces: ΔS(question,retrieved)=..., ΔS(retrieved,anchor)=..., λ states across 3 paraphrases

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