* docs(resilience): PR 5.1 — sanctions construct audit (designated-party domicile question) PR 5.1 of cohort-audit plan 2026-04-24-002. Stacked on PR 5.3 (#3374) so the known-limitations.md section append is additive. Read-only static audit of scoreTradeSanctions + the sanctions:country-counts:v1 seed — framed around the Codex-reformulated construct question: should designated-party domicile count penalize resilience? Findings 1. The count is "OFAC-designated-party domicile locations," NOT "sanctions against this country." Seeder (`scripts/seed-sanctions- pressure.mjs:85-93`) parses OFAC Advanced XML SDN + Consolidated, extracts each designated party's Locations, and increments `map[countryCode]` by 1 for every location country on that party. 2. The count conflates three semantically distinct categories a resilience construct might treat differently: (a) Country-level sanction target (NK SDN listings) — correct penalty (b) Domiciled sanctioned entity (RU bank in Moscow, post-2022) — debatable, country hosts the actor (c) Transit / shell entity (UAE trading co listed under SDGT for Iran evasion; CY SPV for a Russian oligarch) — country is NOT the target, but takes the penalty 3. Observed GCC cohort impact: AE scores 54 vs KW/QA 82. The −28 gap is almost entirely driven by category (c) listings — AE is a financial hub where sanctioned parties incorporate shells. 4. Three options documented for the construct decision (NOT decided in this PR): - Option 1: Keep flat count (status quo, defensible via secondary- sanctions / FATF argument) - Option 2: Program-weighted count — weight DPRK/IRAN/SYRIA/etc. at 1.0, SDGT/SDNTK/CYBER/etc. at 0.3-0.5. Recommended; seeder already captures `programs` per entry — data is there, scorer just doesn't read it. - Option 3: Transit-hub exclusion list (AE, SG, HK, CY, VG, KY) — brittle + normative, not recommended 5. Recommendation documented: Option 2. Implementation deferred to a separate methodology-decision PR (outside auto-mode authority). Shipped - `docs/methodology/known-limitations.md` — new section extending the file: "tradeSanctions — designated-party domicile construct question." Covers what the count represents, the three categories with examples, observed GCC impact, three options w/ trade-offs, recommendation, follow-up audit list (entity-sample gated on API-key access), and file references. - `tests/resilience-sanctions-field-mapping.test.mts` (new) — 10 regression-guard tests pinning CURRENT behavior: 1-6. normalizeSanctionCount piecewise anchors: count=0→100, 1→90, 10→75, 50→50, 200→25, 500→≤1 7. Monotonicity: strictly decreasing across the ramp 8. Country absent from map defaults to count=0 → score 100 (intentional "no designated parties here" semantics) 9. Seed outage (raw=null) → null score slot, NOT imputed (protects against silent data-outage scoring) 10. Construct anchor: count=1 is exactly 10 points below count=0 (pins the "first listing drops 10" design choice) Verified - `npx tsx --test tests/resilience-sanctions-field-mapping.test.mts` — 10 pass / 0 fail - `npm run test:data` — 6721 pass / 0 fail - `npm run typecheck` / `typecheck:api` — green - `npm run lint` / `lint:md` — clean * fix(resilience): PR 5.1 review — tighten count=500 assertion; clarify weightedBlend weights Addresses 2 P2 Greptile findings on #3375: 1. Tighten count=500 assertion. Was `<= 1` with a comment stating the exact value is 0. That loose bound silently tolerates roundScore / boundary drift that would be the very signal this regression guard exists to catch. Changed to strict equality `=== 0`. 2. Clarify the "zero weight" comment on the sanctions-only harness. The other slots DO contribute their declared weights (0.15 + 0.15 + 0.25 = 0.55) to weightedBlend's `totalWeight` denominator — only `availableWeight` (the score-computation denominator) drops to 0.45 because their score is null. The previous comment elided this distinction and could mislead a reader into thinking the null slots contributed nothing at all. Expanded to state exactly how `coverage` and `score` each behave. Verified - `npx tsx --test tests/resilience-sanctions-field-mapping.test.mts` — 10 pass / 0 fail (count=500 now pins the exact 0 floor)
