# RAG — Global Fix Map
Production RAG triage and structural fixes using the WFGY engine.  
Use this when retrieval “looks fine” but answers drift.

## What this page is
- A fast path to locate the failing layer across OCR → chunk → embed → store → retrieve → prompt → reason.
- Structural repairs that do not require infra changes.
- Concrete steps with measurable acceptance targets.

## When to use
- Citations point to the wrong snippet or section.
- Chunks look correct but reasoning is wrong.
- High similarity yet wrong meaning.
- Hybrid retrievers perform worse than a single retriever.
- Indexed facts never show up.
- Answers flip between sessions.
- Long threads smear topics or capitalization.

## Fix in 60 seconds
1) **Measure ΔS**
   - Compute ΔS(question, retrieved) and ΔS(retrieved, expected anchor).
   - Thresholds: stable < 0.40, transitional 0.40–0.60, risk ≥ 0.60.
2) **Probe with λ_observe**
   - Vary k ∈ {5, 10, 20}. chart ΔS vs k. flat and high → index or metric mismatch.
   - Reorder prompt headers. if ΔS spikes, lock the schema.
3) **Apply the minimal patch**
   - Metric or normalization mismatch → rebuild index with explicit metric, unit-normalize, reload once, re-probe.
   - Chunks correct but logic diverges → lock `system → task → constraints → citations → answer`, apply BBCR + BBAM, re-probe.

## Copy-paste prompt
```

I uploaded TXT OS and the WFGY ProblemMap files.

My RAG bug:

* symptom: \[brief]
* traces: \[ΔS(question,retrieved)=..., ΔS(retrieved,anchor)=..., λ states]

Tell me:

1. which layer is failing and why,
2. which exact fix page to open from this repo,
3. the minimal steps to push ΔS ≤ 0.45 and keep λ convergent,
4. how to verify the fix with a reproducible test.
   Use BBMC/BBPF/BBCR/BBAM when relevant.

```

## Acceptance targets
- Coverage to target section ≥ 0.70.
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 on three paraphrases.
- λ remains convergent across steps and seeds.
- E_resonance flat under long windows.
