Ralph Loop 2026-03-16: Search Baseline Handoff
Problem
Recent loops are ending with zero persisted replay actions while raw_best_search_result
shows high-action negative-score candidates. The handoff already suppresses those
raw leaders from best_search_result, but it did not carry the persisted search
baseline alongside them, so Ralph still had to infer what the raw candidate failed
to beat.
Change
- Added
baseline_search_resultto theresearch/latest_state.jsonhandoff inresearch/continuous_loop.py. - Updated
research/status.pyandresearch/discord_status.pyso the no-promotable-search message includes the persisted baseline score, hit rate, and action count next to the raw rejected candidate. - Documented the new handoff field in
research/README.md.
Validation
pytest -q tests/test_research_status.py tests/test_continuous_loop.pypython3 -m py_compile research/continuous_loop.py research/status.py research/discord_status.py
Result
Search diagnostics are now explicit instead of inferred. When Pam rejects a raw search leader, Ralph can see both sides of the comparison directly in the latest state and status surfaces.
