Join long contexts without losing meaning. This page defines a stitch contract for multi window prompts and long documents, adds ΔS probes at joins, and gives a fast repair plan when answers break exactly at window boundaries.

## Symptoms
|
||
|
||
| Symptom | What you see |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Boundary answers | Model answers correctly inside a window, fails right after the join |
|
||
| Duplicate facts | Repeated sentences across windows, tool loops on the overlap |
|
||
| Lost referent | “it / they / this” loses target at window start or end |
|
||
| Rerank flip at join | Top k order changes only at a boundary |
|
||
| Anchor drift | Citation before the join, none after the join |
|
||
| Coverage hole | Middle section of a long doc never appears in stitched set |
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Why joins fail
|
||
|
||
1) **No stitch contract**. Windows lack overlap and sequence identifiers.
|
||
2) **Tokenizer mismatch**. Window boundaries split tokens differently across tools.
|
||
3) **Ranking variance**. Each window retrieves independently without a stable tie break.
|
||
4) **Anchor loss**. Bridge steps cross a boundary without re citing the anchor.
|
||
5) **Context flooding**. Overlong windows raise entropy and bury anchors.
|
||
6) **Fragmentation**. Store keeps near duplicates that fight for the same rank.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Acceptance targets
|
||
|
||
- ΔS(join_left, join_right) ≤ 0.45 for every boundary
|
||
- Coverage of target section across all windows ≥ 0.70
|
||
- λ remains convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds
|
||
- E_resonance flat at joins and flat across stitched plan
|
||
- Overlap per join 32 to 96 tokens, same casing and analyzer
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Fix in 60 seconds
|
||
|
||
1) **Add a stitch contract**
|
||
Every window must carry `doc_id, section_id, win_idx, win_hash, overlap_tokens, prev_id, next_id`.
|
||
See schema rules
|
||
→ [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)
|
||
|
||
2) **Measure ΔS at each join**
|
||
Compute ΔS between the trailing overlap of window *i* and the leading overlap of window *i+1*.
|
||
If ΔS ≥ 0.60, rebuild the join or re chunk.
|
||
|
||
3) **Stabilize ordering**
|
||
Use a deterministic reranker with fixed analyzer and tie break by `(doc_id, section_id, win_idx)`.
|
||
→ [rerankers.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md)
|
||
|
||
4) **Re anchor bridges**
|
||
At every join, insert a one line BBCR bridge that re cites the active snippet.

||

|

|
||
## Stitch contract
|
||
|
||
Minimum fields for any stitched window:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"doc_id": "D42",
|
||
"section_id": "CH3.2",
|
||
"win_idx": 7,
|
||
"win_hash": "sha1:6b7f...",
|
||
"overlap_tokens": 64,
|
||
"prev_id": "D42#CH3.2#6",
|
||
"next_id": "D42#CH3.2#8",
|
||
"start_token": 14080,
|
||
"end_token": 16096
|
||
}
|
||
````
|
||
|
||
Rules
|
||
|
||
* Overlap range must be identical across both windows after normalization.
|
||
* Do not allow cross section joins unless the section header is included in the overlap.
|
||
* Keep casing and tokenizer identical through the pipeline.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Join planner
|
||
|
||
**Goal** keep bridges short and anchors stable while covering the whole doc.
|
||
|
||
1. **Choose window size**: 512 to 1024 tokens, overlap 32 to 96.
|
||
2. **Pin anchors**: for each question, tag anchor snippets with `ΔS_to_question`.
|
||
3. **Plan path**: sort candidate windows by section, then by `win_idx`.
|
||
4. **Assemble**: render windows with header, overlap marker, and re cited anchor.
|
||
5. **Verify**: ΔS at each boundary, λ over the stitched answer, coverage against a gold slice.
|
||
|
||
If ΔS is flat and high across all joins, suspect metric or index mismatch.

## Structural repairs
|
||
|
||
* **Wrong meaning near a boundary**

|
||

|
||

||
* **Entropy spikes after stitching**
|
||
→ [entropy-overload.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/entropy-overload.md)
|
||
|
||
* **Long chain collapses post join**

|

|
||
|
||
## Verification
|
||
|
||
* Sliding window test over the same section keeps citations identical.
|
||
* ΔS(join\_left, join\_right) ≤ 0.45 and decreasing with larger overlap.
|
||
* λ convergent on two seeds and three paraphrases.
|
||
* Coverage across stitched windows ≥ 0.70 for the target section.
|
||
* Answer includes a cite then explain block with per join anchors.

## Copy paste prompt
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map loaded.
|
||
|
||
Task: stitch long context with stable joins.
|
||
|
||
Inputs:
|
||
- question: "{q}"
|
||
- windows: [{doc_id, section_id, win_idx, win_hash, tokens, text_head, overlap_tokens}]
|
||
- candidates: [{snippet_id, section_id, source_url, offsets, ΔS_to_question}]
|
||
|
||
Do:
|
||
1) Compute ΔS for each join. If any ≥ 0.60, propose a re-chunk or overlap increase.
|
||
2) Add BBCR micro bridges at every boundary, re citing the active anchor.
|
||
3) Apply deterministic reranking with tie break by (doc_id, section_id, win_idx).
|
||
4) Return JSON:
|
||
{
|
||
"joins": [{"from":"...#i","to":"...#i+1","ΔS":0.xx,"action":"ok|rechunk|increase_overlap"}],
|
||
"answer": "... cite then explain ...",
|
||
"λ_state": "convergent",
|
||
"coverage": 0.xx
|
||
}
|
||
If no valid anchor exists at a join, return the fix page to open for retrieval-traceability.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Common gotchas
|
||
|
||
* **Asymmetric overlap**. Trailing text differs from leading text after normalization.
|
||
* **Header drop**. Section headers removed at boundaries, referents disappear.
|
||
* **Tokenizer switch**. Ingestion uses one analyzer, reranker another.
|
||
* **Duplicate windows**. Same `win_idx` with different hashes compete in top k.
|
||
* **Bridge without re citation**. Jumps the boundary without anchor restatement.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## When to escalate
|
||
|
||
* ΔS remains ≥ 0.60 on all joins after overlap increase and reranking
|
||
→ rebuild chunks and verify store metric, then retest with a gold slice.

|
||
|
||
* Windows alternate across runs with identical inputs
|
||
→ check fragmentation and update skew, then freeze index version.
