Personalization Engine Pause Checkpoint

What is landed, what is still pending, and how the mission board maps to taking the Personalization Engine live.

The Single Idea

The Personalization Engine is now a VDS-local AI Fluency data authority, not just a title table. Title and JD context feed role context, role context feeds capability maps, and embeddings/retrieval support the loop only after clean-source gates pass. The goal is paused, not complete.

What Is Real Today

The repo has a working local data spine: 110,184 occupation/title rows, 129,165 LinkedIn job rows, 47,837 wedge occupation rows, 322,519 semantic chunks, and 6,510 current Gemini vectors. AI Fluency is now represented as the product object: task exposure, tool proficiency, judgment quality, data discipline, and outcome evidence.

What is not real yet: this is not production deployment, not full-corpus embedding, and not platform-live. The 22 passing sensitive rows are bridge candidates only; the local caveated sensitive fallback bridge still needs to be built.

Sensitive Guardrail Eval Runs

Commit 7e9d974 Run sensitive guardrail eval fixtures added top_band_sensitive_guardrail_eval_runs_v1, its CLI command, validation integration, focused tests, reports, and handoff. It executed 22 fixture rows, all passed, with zero runtime bridge approvals, zero embedding approvals, zero batch candidates, and zero production unlocks.

The Next Work To Take PE Live

The immediate next slice is top_band_sensitive_fallback_bridge_v1. It should consume only eval-passing rows, rejoin fixture source authority and repair-queue JD context, emit caveated local bridge rows, exclude the three blocked rows, and keep embedding, batch, public runtime, real-user data, external writes, production telemetry, and runtime embedding authority blocked.

After that, rerun top-band routing and runtime readiness, then scale embeddings only source-family by source-family: eligibility, repair, semantic sampling, 500, 5,000, 25,000, and batch only after progressive proof.

Current boundary

AINA has a self-contained VDS-local Personalization Engine data authority ready for the next runtime bridge and embedding-hardening slices, not yet ready for public production use.
