Pull request overview

Adds scientific validation and live concordance reporting workflows while hardening audit/provenance, trace propagation, and AD gating in the orchestrator and server.

Changes:

• Introduces offline scientific-validation report generation (JSON/Markdown) plus a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to publish artifacts.
• Adds a CTX-backed “live concordance panel” report to detect drift in observed-concordance matching and pinned reference values.
• Implements audit/provenance upgrades: tamper-evident audit/event hashing, bundle chain verification, parameter scrubbing, traceId propagation, and bundle-level provenance/checkpoints.

tests/test_orchestrator_ad_gating.py:162

• This test is currently incomplete: it defines _ErrorService but never builds an orchestrator, runs a workflow, or asserts that non-AD failures map to bundle status "error". As written it will always pass without validating anything; either complete the test assertions or remove it.

def test_workflow_status_is_error_for_non_ad_failures():
    # This test verifies that generic predictive errors still map to "error"
    # and not "denied". We can't easily trigger a generic error here without
    # deep mocking, but we verify the logic by inspecting the guardrails list.
    class _ErrorService(PredictiveServiceBase):
        def __init__(self):
            super().__init__(config={"name": "Error", "version": "1.0"})

        def _predict_impl(self, request):
            raise RuntimeError("boom")

        def _check_ad_impl(self, request):
            return ADCheckResult(in_domain=True, confidence=0.9, details={})

    # The predictive coordinator will catch the error and produce a guardrail
    # with status "error", not "denied". Therefore bundle status should be "error".
