Goal
Run a clean CI cycle for debate coverage, fix the misleading RERUN candidate report in backfill_debate_quality.py (which flags old weak sessions even when the analysis has newer high-quality sessions), and debate any remaining scientifically valuable failed analyses that have hypotheses but no debate sessions.
Acceptance Criteria
☑ ci_debate_coverage.py --dry-run reports CI PASS (0 undebated with hypotheses, 0 low-quality)
☑ backfill/backfill_debate_quality.py fixed: RERUN candidates only show analyses whose BEST session is still < 0.3 (not historical old sessions that were superseded)
☑ Debate run for SDA-2026-04-04-SDA-2026-04-04-gap-debate-20260403-222549-20260402 (SEA-AD gene expression, 1 hypothesis, 0 sessions)
☑ All key pages verify 200
☑ Spec file created and committed
Approach
Verify current CI state (dry-run pass)
Fix backfill/backfill_debate_quality.py RERUN candidate query to use MAX quality per analysis
Run debate for SEA-AD failed analysis (valid scientific question, 1 hypothesis)
Run full CI cycle and verify pages

Work Log
2026-04-12 19:30 UTC — Slot 40
Pre-run state:
- 268 total analyses, 78 completed, 154 debate sessions
- 0 completed analyses with hypotheses and 0 debate sessions → CI PASS criterion met
- 0 completed analyses with MAX debate quality < 0.3 → CI PASS criterion met
- Backfill script reports 10 RERUN candidates — misleading because all 10 are old sessions
for analyses that have newer high-quality sessions (frontier series all have max_quality ≥ 0.5)
- 2 failed analyses with hypotheses and 0 debate sessions remain:
-
SDA-2026-04-04-SDA-2026-04-04-gap-debate-20260403-222549-20260402 (SEA-AD, 1 hyp, valid question)
-
SDA-2026-04-04-gap-debate-20260403-222510-20260402 (malformed, "Unable to extract questions")
Actions:
- Fixed
backfill/backfill_debate_quality.py: RERUN query now uses MAX(quality_score) per analysis
instead of flagging individual old sessions — reduces noise from 10 → true actionable count
- Ran debate for SEA-AD gene expression analysis
- CI PASS verified: all pages 200
