Elie Habib 7cf37c604c feat(resilience): PR 3 — dead-signal cleanup (plan §3.5, §3.6) (#3297)
* feat(resilience): PR 3 §3.5 — retire fuelStockDays from core score permanently

First commit in PR 3 of the resilience repair plan. Retires
`fuelStockDays` from the core score with no replacement.

Why permanent, not replaced:
IEA emergency-stockholding rules are defined in days of NET IMPORTS
and do not bind net exporters by design. Norway/Canada/US measured
in days-of-imports are incomparable to Germany/Japan measured the
same way — the construct is fundamentally different across the two
country classes. No globally-comparable recovery-fuel signal can
be built from this source; the pre-repair probe showed 100% imputed
at 50 for every country in the April 2026 freeze.

  scoreFuelStockDays:
    - Rewritten to return coverage=0 + observedWeight=0 +
      imputationClass='source-failure' for every country regardless
      of seed content.
    - Drops the dimension from the `recovery` domain's coverage-
      weighted mean automatically; remaining recovery dimensions
      pick up the share via re-normalisation in
      `_shared.ts#coverageWeightedMean`.
    - No explicit weight transfer needed — the coverage-weighted
      blend handles redistribution.

  Registry:
    - recoveryFuelStockDays re-tagged from tier='enrichment' to
      tier='experimental' so the Core coverage gate treats it as
      out-of-score.
    - Description updated to make the retirement explicit; entry
      stays in the registry for structural continuity (the
      dimension `fuelStockDays` remains in RESILIENCE_DIMENSION_ORDER
      for the 19-dimension tests; removing the dimension entirely is
      a PR 4 structural-audit concern).

  Housekeeping:
    - Removed `RESILIENCE_RECOVERY_FUEL_STOCKS_KEY` constant (no
      longer read; noUnusedLocals would reject it).
    - Removed `RecoveryFuelStocksCountry` interface for the same
      reason. Comment at the removed declaration instructs future
      maintainers not to re-add the type as a reservation; when a
      new recovery-fuel concept lands, introduce a fresh interface.

Plan reference: §3.5 point 1 of
`docs/plans/2026-04-22-001-fix-resilience-scorer-structural-bias-plan.md`.

51 resilience tests pass, typecheck + biome clean. The
`recovery` domain's published score will shift slightly for every
country because the 0.10 slot that fuelStockDays was imputing to
now redistributes; the compare-harness acceptance-gate rerun at
merge time will quantify the shift per plan §6 gates.

* feat(resilience): PR 3 §3.5 — retire BIS-backed currencyExternal; rebuild on IMF inflation + WB reserves

BIS REER/DSR feeds were load-bearing in currencyExternal (weights 0.35
fxVolatility + 0.35 fxDeviation, ~70% of dimension). They cover ~60
countries max — so every non-BIS country fell through to
curated_list_absent (coverage 0.3) or a thin IMF proxy (coverage 0.45).
Combined with reserveMarginPct already removed in PR 1, currencyExternal
was the clearest "construct absent for most of the world" carrier left
in the scorer.

Changes:

_dimension-scorers.ts
- scoreCurrencyExternal now reads IMF macro (inflationPct) + WB FX
  reserves only. Coverage ladder:
    inflation + reserves → 0.85 (observed primary + secondary)
    inflation only       → 0.55
    reserves only        → 0.40
    neither              → 0.30 (IMPUTE.bisEer retained for snapshot
                                 continuity; semantics read as
                                 "no IMF + no WB reserves" now)
- Removed dead symbols: RESILIENCE_BIS_EXCHANGE_KEY constant (reserved
  via comment only, flagged by noUnusedLocals), stddev() helper,
  getCountryBisExchangeRates() loader, BisExchangeRate interface,
  dateToSortableNumber() — all were exclusive callers of the retired
  BIS path.

_indicator-registry.ts
- New core entry inflationStability (weight 0.60, tier=core,
  sourceKey=economic:imf:macro:v2).
- fxReservesAdequacy weight 0.15 → 0.40 (secondary reliability
  anchor).
- fxVolatility + fxDeviation demoted tier=enrichment → tier=experimental
  (BIS ~60-country coverage; off the core weight sum).
- Non-experimental weights now sum to 1.0 (0.60 + 0.40).

scripts/compare-resilience-current-vs-proposed.mjs
- EXTRACTION_RULES: added inflationStability →
  imf-macro-country-field field=inflationPct so the registry-parity
  test passes and the correlation harness sees the new construct.

tests/resilience-dimension-scorers.test.mts
- Dropped BIS-era wording ("non-BIS country") and test 266
  (BIS-outage coverage 0.35 branch) which collapsed to the inflation-
  only path post-retirement.
- Updated coverage assertions: inflation-only 0.45 → 0.55; inflation+
  reserves 0.55 → 0.85.

tests/resilience-scorers.test.mts
- domainAverages.economic 68.33 → 66.33 (US currencyExternal score
  shifts slightly under IMF+reserves vs old BIS composite).
- stressScore 67.85 → 67.21; stressFactor 0.3215 → 0.3279.
- overallScore 65.82 → 65.52.
- baselineScore unchanged (currencyExternal is stress-only).

All 6324 data-tier tests pass. typecheck:api clean. No change to
seeders or Redis keys; this is a pure scorer + registry rebuild.

* feat(resilience): PR 3 §3.5 point 3 — re-goalpost externalDebtCoverage (0..5 → 0..2)

Plan §2.1 diagnosis table showed externalDebtCoverage saturating at
score=100 across all 9 probe countries — including stressed states.
Signal was collapsed. Root cause: (worst=5, best=0) gave every country
with ratio < 0.5 a score above 90, and mapped Greenspan-Guidotti's
reserve-adequacy threshold (ratio=1.0) to score 80 — well into "no
worry" territory instead of the "mild warning" it should be.

Re-anchored on Greenspan-Guidotti directly: ratio=1.0 now maps to score
50 (mild warning), ratio=2.0 to score 0 (acute rollover-shock exposure).
Ratios above 2.0 clamp to 0, consistent with "beyond this point the
country is already in crisis; exact value stops mattering."

Files changed:

- _indicator-registry.ts: recoveryDebtToReserves goalposts
  {worst: 5, best: 0} → {worst: 2, best: 0}. Description updated to
  cite Greenspan-Guidotti; inline comment documents anchor + rationale.

- _dimension-scorers.ts: scoreExternalDebtCoverage normalizer bound
  changed from (0..5) to (0..2), with inline comment.

- docs/methodology/country-resilience-index.mdx: goalpost table row
  5-0 → 2-0, description cites Greenspan-Guidotti.

- docs/methodology/indicator-sources.yaml:
  * constructStatus: dead-signal → observed-mechanism (signal is now
    discriminating).
  * reviewNotes updated to describe the new anchor.
  * mechanismTestRationale names the Greenspan-Guidotti rule.

- tests/resilience-dimension-monotonicity.test.mts: updated the
  comment + picked values inside the (0..2) discriminating band (0.3
  and 1.5). Old values (1 vs 4) had 4 clamping to 0.

- tests/resilience-dimension-scorers.test.mts: NO score threshold
  relaxed >90 → >=85 (NO ratio=0.2 now scores 90, was 96).

- tests/resilience-scorers.test.mts: fixture drift:
  * domainAverages.recovery 54.83 → 47.33 (US extDebt 70 → 25).
  * baselineScore 63.63 → 60.12 (extDebt is baseline type).
  * overallScore 65.52 → 63.27.
  * stressScore / stressFactor unchanged (extDebt is baseline-only).

All 6324 data-tier tests pass. typecheck:api clean.

* feat(resilience): PR 3 §3.6 — CI gate on indicator coverage and nominal weight

Plan §3.6 adds a new acceptance criterion (also §5 item 5):

> No indicator with observed coverage below 70% may exceed 5% nominal
> weight OR 5% effective influence in the post-change sensitivity run.

This commit enforces the NOMINAL-WEIGHT half as a unit test that runs
on every CI build. The EFFECTIVE-INFLUENCE half is produced by
scripts/validate-resilience-sensitivity.mjs as a committed artifact;
the gate file only asserts that script still exists so a refactor that
removes it breaks the build loudly.

Why the gate exists (plan §3.6):

  "A dimension at 30% observed coverage carries the same effective
   weight as one at 95%. This contradicts the OECD/JRC handbook on
   uncertainty analysis."

Implementation:

tests/resilience-coverage-influence-gate.test.mts — three tests:
  1. Nominal-weight gate: for every core indicator with coverage < 137
     countries (70% of the ~195-country universe), computes its nominal
     overall weight as
       indicator.weight × (1/dimensions-in-domain) × domain-weight
     and asserts it does not exceed 5%. Equal-share-per-dimension is
     the *upper bound* on runtime weight (coverage-weighted mean gives
     a lower share when a dimension drops out), so this is a strict
     bound: if the nominal number passes, the runtime number also
     passes for every country.
  2. Effective-influence contract: asserts the sensitivity script
     exists at its expected path. Removing it (intentionally or by
     refactor) breaks the build.
  3. Audit visibility: prints the top 10 core indicators by nominal
     overall weight. No assertion beyond "ran" — the list lets
     reviewers spot outliers that pass the gate but are near the cap.

Current state (observed from audit output):

  recoveryReserveMonths:   nominal=4.17%  coverage=188
  recoveryDebtToReserves:  nominal=4.17%  coverage=185
  recoveryImportHhi:       nominal=4.17%  coverage=190
  inflationStability:      nominal=3.40%  coverage=185
  electricityConsumption:  nominal=3.30%  coverage=217
  ucdpConflict:            nominal=3.09%  coverage=193

Every core indicator has coverage ≥ 180 (already enforced by the
pre-existing indicator-tiering test), so the nominal-weight gate has
no current violators — its purpose is catching future drift, not
flagging today's state.

All 6327 data-tier tests pass. typecheck:api clean.

* docs(resilience): PR 3 methodology doc — document §3.5 dead-signal retirements + §3.6 coverage gate

Methodology-doc update capturing the three §3.5 landings and the §3.6 CI
gate. Five edits:

1. **Known construct limitations section (#5 and #6):** strikethrough the
   original "dead signals" and "no coverage-based weight cap" items,
   annotate them with "Landed in PR 3 §3.5"/"Landed in PR 3 §3.6" +
   specifics of what shipped.

2. **Currency & External H4 section:** completely rewritten. Old table
   (fxVolatility / fxDeviation / fxReservesAdequacy on BIS primary) is
   replaced by the two-indicator post-PR-3 table (inflationStability at
   0.60 + fxReservesAdequacy at 0.40). Coverage ladder spelled out
   (0.85 / 0.55 / 0.40 / 0.30). Legacy BIS indicators named as
   experimental-tier drill-downs only.

3. **Fuel Stock Days H4 section:** H4 heading text kept verbatim so the
   methodology-lint H4-to-dimension mapping does not break; body
   rewritten to explain that the dimension is retired from core but the
   seeder still runs for IEA-member drill-downs.

4. **External Debt Coverage table row:** goalpost 5-0 → 2-0, description
   cites Greenspan-Guidotti reserve-adequacy rule.

5. **New v2.2 changelog entry** — PR 3 dead-signal cleanup, covering
   §3.5 points 1/2/3 + §3.6 + acceptance gates + construct-audit
   updates.

No scoring or code changes in this commit. Methodology-lint test passes
(H4 mapping intact). All 6327 data-tier tests pass.

* fix(resilience): PR 3 §3.6 gate — correct share-denominator for coverage-weighted aggregation

Reviewer catch (thanks). The previous gate computed each indicator's
nominal overall weight as

  indicator.weight × (1 / N_total_dimensions_in_domain) × domain_weight

and claimed this was an upper bound ("actual runtime weight is ≤ this
when some dimensions drop out on coverage"). That is BACKWARDS for
this scorer.

The domain aggregation is coverage-weighted
(server/worldmonitor/resilience/v1/_shared.ts coverageWeightedMean),
so when a dimension pins at coverage=0 it is EXCLUDED from the
denominator and the surviving dimensions' shares go UP, not down.

PR 3 commit 1 retires fuelStockDays by hard-coding its scorer to
coverage=0 for every country — so in the current live state the
recovery domain has 5 contributing dimensions (not 6), and each core
recovery indicator's nominal share is

  1.0 × 1/5 × 0.25 = 5.00% (was mis-reported as 4.17%)

The old gate therefore under-estimated nominal influence and could
silently pass exactly the kind of low-coverage overweight regression
it is meant to block.

Fix:

- Added `coreBearingDimensions(domainId)` helper that counts only
  dimensions that have ≥1 core indicator in the registry. A dimension
  with only experimental/enrichment entries (post-retirement
  fuelStockDays) has no core contribution → does not dilute shares.
- Updated `nominalOverallWeight` to divide by the core-bearing count,
  not the raw dimension count.
- Rewrote the helper's doc comment to stop claiming this is a strict
  upper bound — explicitly calls out the dynamic case (source failure
  raising surviving dim shares further) as the sensitivity script's
  responsibility.
- Added a new regression test: asserts (a) at least one recovery
  dimension is all-non-core (fuelStockDays post-retirement),
  (b) fuelStockDays has zero core indicators, and (c) recoveryDebt
  ToReserves nominal = 0.05 exactly (not 0.0417) — any reversion
  of the retirement or regression to N_total-denominator will fail
  loudly.

Top-10 audit output now correctly shows:

  recoveryReserveMonths:   nominal=5%     coverage=188
  recoveryDebtToReserves:  nominal=5%     coverage=185
  recoveryImportHhi:       nominal=5%     coverage=190
  (was 4.17% each under the old math)

All 486 resilience tests pass. typecheck:api clean.

Note: the 5% figure is exactly AT the cap, not over it. "exceed" means
strictly > 5%, so it still passes. But now the reviewer / audit log
reflects reality.

* fix(resilience): PR 3 review — retired-dim confidence drag + false source-failure label

Addresses the Codex review P1 + P2 on PR #3297.

P1 — retired-dim drag on confidence averages
--------------------------------------------
scoreFuelStockDays returns coverage=0 by design (retired construct),
but computeLowConfidence, computeOverallCoverage, and the widget's
formatResilienceConfidence averaged across all 19 dimensions. That
dragged every country's reported averageCoverage down — US went from
0.8556 (active dims only) to 0.8105 (all dims) — enough drift to
misclassify edge countries as lowConfidence and to shift the ranking
widget's overallCoverage pill for every country.

Fix: introduce an authoritative RESILIENCE_RETIRED_DIMENSIONS set in
_dimension-scorers.ts and filter it out of all three averages. The
filter is keyed on the retired-dim REGISTRY, not on coverage === 0,
because a non-retired dim can legitimately emit coverage=0 on a
genuinely sparse-data country via weightedBlend fall-through — those
entries MUST keep dragging confidence down (that is the sparse-data
signal lowConfidence exists to surface). Verified: sparse-country
release-gate test (marks sparse WHO/FAO countries as low confidence)
still passes with the registry-keyed filter; would have failed with
a naive coverage=0 filter.

Server-client parity: widget-utils cannot import server code, so
RESILIENCE_RETIRED_DIMENSION_IDS is a hand-mirrored constant, kept
in lockstep by tests/resilience-retired-dimensions-parity.test.mts
(parses the widget file as text, same pattern as existing widget-util
tests that can't import the widget module directly).

P2 — false "Source down" label on retired dim
---------------------------------------------
scoreFuelStockDays hard-coded imputationClass: 'source-failure',
which the widget maps to "Source down: upstream seeder failed" with
a `!` icon for every country. That is semantically wrong for an
intentional retirement. Flipped to null so the widget's absent-path
renders a neutral cell without a false outage label. null is already
a legal value of ResilienceDimensionScore.imputationClass; no type
change needed.

Tests
-----
- tests/resilience-confidence-averaging.test.mts (new): pins the
  registry-keyed filter semantic for computeOverallCoverage +
  computeLowConfidence. Includes a negative-control test proving
  non-retired coverage=0 dims still flip lowConfidence.
- tests/resilience-retired-dimensions-parity.test.mts (new):
  lockstep gate between server and client retired-dim lists.
- Widget test adds a registry-keyed exclusion test with a non-retired
  coverage=0 dim in the fixture to lock in the correct semantic.
- Existing tests asserting imputationClass: 'source-failure' for
  fuelStockDays flipped to null.

All 494 resilience tests + full 6336/6336 data-tier suite pass.
Typecheck clean for both tsconfig.json and tsconfig.api.json.

* docs(resilience): align methodology + registry metadata with shipped imputationClass=null

Follow-up to the previous PR 3 review commit that flipped
scoreFuelStockDays's imputationClass from 'source-failure' to null to
avoid a false "Source down" widget label on every country. The code
changed; the doc and registry metadata did not, leaving three sites
in the methodology mdx and two comment/description sites in the
registry still claiming imputationClass='source-failure'. Any future
reviewer (or tooling that treats the registry description as
authoritative) would be misled.

This commit rewrites those sites to describe the shipped behavior:
 - imputationClass=null (not 'source-failure'), with the rationale
 - exclusion from confidence/coverage averages via the
   RESILIENCE_RETIRED_DIMENSIONS registry filter
 - the distinction between structural retirement (filtered) and
   runtime coverage=0 (kept so sparse-data countries still flag
   lowConfidence)

Touched:
 - docs/methodology/country-resilience-index.mdx (lines ~33, ~268, ~590)
 - server/worldmonitor/resilience/v1/_indicator-registry.ts
   (recoveryFuelStockDays comment block + description field)

No code-behavior change. Docs-only.

Tests: 157 targeted resilience tests pass (incl. methodology-lint +
widget + release-gate + confidence-averaging). Typecheck clean on
both tsconfig.json and tsconfig.api.json.
