Mission 01a0c940 ran the paper triage live for the first time: 10 papers, 10 tagged, 10 scored — and the relevance scores were 2.93, 2.94, 2.97, 2.97, 2.98, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 3.00, 3.00. A spread of 0.07 across a 4-level scale, every answer confident, no ranking information at all. Of course: the harvest runs the operator's own arXiv topic queries, so every paper in the file is about agents by construction. Asked on the same ten abstracts, 'how actionable is it' saturated the same way (spread 0.20). What separated them was the strength of the evidence behind the claims: 1.36 (a benchmark paper) to 3.00 (measured on real systems with ablations), spread 1.64 — and what KIND of paper it is (method / benchmark / measurement / survey / position), with the confidence of that call beside it so an unplaceable paper reads as unplaceable. The manifest now carries those two and no relevance number, and arxiv-daily.md tells the reading agents what each means and why there is no relevance. The general rule, since this class of mistake is invisible — a saturated score looks exactly like a working feature: patterns::spread() with SATURATED_BELOW, and triage_papers warns when a live harvest's scores span less than that. A question that returns the same number for everything is a defect in the question, not a fact about the population.
