benchmarks: add Silent Rotation, a fleet-convergence memory benchmark

Browse source 
Three agents fix one failing test concurrently. The fix needs a signing key id
that is randomized per trial from a 50-key keyring and appears in no file the
agents can read. It exists only in the memory layer. Seven arms: a no-memory
control, dense cosine RAG, Vestige, mem0, supermemory, hindsight, Zep/Graphiti.

The measured result is about the first retrieval, not the final score. Across
5 models and 22 trials, a query-based arm's FIRST memory call surfaced the
correct key 6 times out of 87. Vestige, which takes no query argument, did it
56 out of 56. Every downstream number follows from that.

Ships the raw evidence rather than a summary: all agent transcripts, the
harness, and tests/bm25_baseline.py, which reproduces the ranking table offline
with no API key. Two arms were contaminated by a flush bug in this harness that
served them a previous trial's facts; both were fixed and re-run, and the
contaminated cells are withheld rather than published.

# Every claim, and where to check it
Companion to `FINDING.md`. Each row states a claim and the file that proves it. All transcripts are in
`results/`. Nothing below is summarized from memory; every number was read out of the JSON.
Five models. Twenty-two trials. Two hundred and ten agent transcripts.

## 1. The headline table
Three agents work the same failing test. The fix needs a signing key id that is randomized per trial
from a 50-key keyring and appears in no file the agents can read. It exists only in the memory layer.
For every arm in every trial we asked one question: **did all three agents write the same key, and was
it the right one?**
| arm | converged on the CORRECT key | converged on a WRONG key | split, no consensus | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| anarchy (no memory) | 0/22 | **16/22** | 6/22 | 22 |
| rag (dense cosine) | 4/21 | **10/21** | 7/21 | 21 |
| supermemory | 5/6 | 0/6 | 1/6 | 6 |
| mem0 (clean cells only) | 1/2 | 0/2 | 1/2 | 2 |
| hindsight | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | 3 |
| Zep/Graphiti (clean cell only) | 0/1 | 0/1 | 1/1 | 1 |
| **sync (Vestige)** | **19/21** | **0/21** | 2/21 | 21 |
Models: Kimi K3, MiniMax M3, GLM 5.2, GPT-5.6 Sol, DeepSeek V4 Flash.
Reproduce: read `fix_directions` and `correct_kid` out of every `trial-*/{arm}.json` and `manifest.json`.
### There are two failure modes and only one of them is visible
**Split.** The agents disagree, write conflicting changes, the merge fractures, nothing ships. Loud.
You find out immediately.
**Converged wrong.** The agents all agree, on a decoy. The tests go green. The merge is clean. The
production replay fails. **This is the one that ships.**
Look at that middle column again. A memoryless fleet converged on a wrong key **16 times out of 22**.
The dense-cosine fleet did it **10 times out of 21**. Vestige did it **zero times out of 21**.
Not "rarely". Not "less often". Zero.
---
## 2. The agents were not reasoning badly. They were reasoning correctly from wrong evidence.
This is the part that does not show up in any aggregate score, and it is why the transcripts are
published rather than a summary table.
### GPT-5.6 Sol, trial 1, correct key `k_yildun`, dense-cosine arm
All three agents converged on `k_wezen`. Here is agent a1 at the moment it decided, verbatim from
`raw-sol/trial-1/transcript-rag-a1.json`:
> "I'm weighing whether to fix the memory to say that the key k_wezen is staging only. The note
> mentions a closed ticket about resetting the key id for k_wezen in staging without any rotation,
> which seems intentional. There's a need to configure both to k_wezen while considering possible
> environment fallback... I've noticed that my memory indicates a reset to k_wezen, so I must set both
> configs to that"
Read that twice. **The agent noticed the memory said "staging only" and used it anyway.** Not because
it was careless, but because nothing it retrieved contradicted the decoy, and a caveated answer beats
no answer. It reasoned its way to the wrong key through a correct chain of inference over an incomplete
evidence set.
### GLM 5.2, trial 1, correct key `k_yildun`, dense-cosine arm
All three converged on `k_wezen`. From `raw-glm/trial-1/transcript-rag-a1.json`:
> "The memory mentions a key id `k_wezen` in config."
That is the whole deliberation. The retrieval returned one key-shaped fact and the agent took it.
### GLM 5.2, trial 3, correct key `k_wren`, dense-cosine arm
All three converged on `k_vela`. From `raw-glm/trial-3/transcript-rag-a0.json`:
> "The first memory mentions 'reset the key id to k_vela'."
Different trial, different decoy, identical shape.
### Kimi K3, trial 1, correct key `k_nashira`, mem0 arm
Here the fleet split rather than converging, and you can watch exactly why. Agent a0 never surfaced the
cause, from `experiment-1337-5/trial-1/transcript-mem0-a0.json`:
> "Both configs have blank key ids, left blank by an 'externalize secrets' refactor. The memory said:
> OPS-522 the key id was reset to `k_antares` and verification recovered. That suggests `k_antares` is
> the key the platform shipped with / should use."
Its teammate a2 got a richer retrieval and became suspicious of the same document:
> "Memory said: 'OPS-522: a staging box failed token verification after a hand-edited config; on-call
> reset the key id to k_antares and verification recovered, noting it was staging-only with no
> rotation.' Hmm, that says k_antares was staging-only. That memory may be a hint that the production
> key id is something else, or it might be a red herring. Let me search memory more specifically."
**a0 picked `k_antares`. a1 and a2 picked `k_nashira`. Two conflicts. Nothing shipped.**
They did not disagree about how to interpret a shared reality. Their memory layer gave them different
realities. One of them was working from a past in which `k_antares` was the answer.
### What the Vestige agents said on the same task, same models
Nothing like the above. From `raw-glm/trial-3/transcript-sync-a1.json`:
> "The issue is that `activeKid` is blank in identity-service config. The 'externalize-secrets refactor'
> pulled out the concrete key id. I need to find which key id the verifier expects."
Then it called `vestige_backfill` once and went to the fix. **There is no passage anywhere in the sync
transcripts where an agent weighs a decoy**, because no decoy arrived.
---
## 3. Why the symptom query fails
Every agent in every arm opened by describing the symptom. Here is what the very first retrieval
returned, verbatim with the tool's own similarity scores, from
`experiment-1337-5/trial-1/transcript-rag-a0.json`:
> Top-3 memories by semantic similarity (cosine, nomic-embed-text):
> **[1] (similarity 0.641)** Closed ticket OPS-522: a staging box failed token verification after a
> hand-edited config; on-call reset the key id to k_antares and verification recovered. Staging-only,
> nothing rotated.
> **[2] (similarity 0.629)** Ledger verifier threw a 500 on charge when the token had no 'kid' header...
The top hit for "my charge test is failing on token verification" is a document about a token
verification failure fixed by setting a key id. Excellent match for the symptom. Wrong answer.
The document that actually explains the failure reads:
> "Rotation runbook, Q3: we migrated the live signer to k_nashira and let the old material age out.
> Every credential minted since the cutover carries the new kid."
It never mentions charges, tests, or failures. It is a routine operational note written four days before
anything broke.
Measured against trial 1's own eight-document corpus, using the exact queries the agents typed
(`tests/bm25_baseline.py`, runnable, no API key needed):
| query (verbatim from a transcript) | who asked it | dense cosine | BM25 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `end-to-end charge test failing identity gateway ledger session token verify` | rag a0, first query | 7 of 8 | 7 of 8 |
| `end-to-end charge test failing session token identity gateway ledger` | zep a0, first query | 7 of 8 | 7 of 8 |
| `default key kid keyring shipped platform active key` | zep a0, third query | 3 of 8 | 7 of 8 |
| `which key id active signing key k_antares externalize secrets refactor blank config` | mem0 a0, second | 3 of 8 | 4 of 8 |
| `no active signing key selected signing key rotation identity-service keyring` | supermemory a0, first | 4 of 8 | 6 of 8 |
**When you describe the symptom, the cause ranks last.**
We ran BM25 specifically because the answer is a rare literal token, which is supposed to be
exact-match's home ground. It ties dense on the symptom queries and is one to four ranks worse on the
queries that actually worked. The decoys share the target's exact vocabulary, so lexical scoring rewards
them just as much. What separates the right key from the wrong one is *which one is current*, and
recency has no lexical signal.
This is not a tuning problem. The corpus contains look-alike documents that are **more** similar to the
failure than the cause is, because they describe the same symptom. Sharpening the embedding raises the
look-alikes. Better similarity matching makes an anti-correlation worse.
---
## 4. The same trial, run twice
`experiment-1337-5/trial-1` and `experiment-1337-3/trial-1` are the same trial. Same master seed, same
trial index, same correct key `k_nashira`, same nine-memory corpus, same model, same 8-turn budget.
Only the run differs.
| | dense-cosine arm | Vestige arm |
|---|---|---|
| Run A | `fixed_correctly`, all three on `k_nashira` | `fixed_correctly`, all three on `k_nashira` |
| Run B | **`failed_merge_conflict`**, a0 `k_nashira`, a1 `k_nashira`, a2 **`k_antares`** | `fixed_correctly`, all three on `k_nashira` |
Plain cosine won the trial once and lost the identical trial the next time. One agent of three phrased
its queries slightly differently, never surfaced the cause, took the decoy, and voided the fleet.
Vestige did the same thing both times: one call per agent, same answer, zero conflicts.
**That is the finding, not a caveat.** A result that flips on rerun is a coin flip, and a coin flip is
what you are deploying when retrieval depends on query phrasing.
---
## 5. Why the model matters, and why that helps rather than hurts
Number of times each model's dense-cosine agents re-queried before committing:
| model | rag_search calls per agent | rag outcome |
|---|---|---|
| GLM 5.2 | 1.00 | 0/5 |
| DeepSeek V4 Flash | 1.00 | 1/5 |
| GPT-5.6 Sol | 1.13 | 0/5 |
| Kimi K3 | 2.17 | wins some, loses some |
**Similarity retrieval's success is explained almost entirely by whether the model bothers to
reformulate.** Ask once and accept the answer, and you get the decoy. Kimi K3 re-queries twice on
average and sometimes escapes.
Vestige is **1 call per agent on every model tested**, and the key was surfaced on 47 of 48 successful
calls, because there is no query to reformulate. `vestige_backfill` takes no query argument. It anchors
on the failure event and walks the causal edge backward.
So the honest cross-model statement is not "this works everywhere." It is: **the memory layer's
behaviour was invariant across five models and the baseline's was not.**
---
## 6. What this does not show
Stated plainly, because an interesting result is worth more than an overclaim. Every one of these was
found by attacking our own work today.
1. **The causal edge is hand authored.** `prepare_trial.py:187` tags the cause
`keyring_rotation,active_key`, `:198` tags the failure `active_key,crash`, and none of the seven
distractors carry it. Remove that string and backfill returns `causes: []`. **This measures traversal
of an existing edge, not discovery of one.** Vestige's extractor does not derive that edge from prose.
2. **We are not the first to run multiple agents on one repo.** CooperBench (arXiv 2601.13295) runs two
coding agents concurrently across 652 tasks and scores merge compatibility, finding roughly 30% lower
success working together than alone. MultiAgentBench (ACL 2025) runs 1/3/5/7 agents over an explicit
shared memory layer. Ask WhAI (arXiv 2511.14780) measures belief divergence across agents on a shared
record. The narrow thing that appears to be unmeasured is **treating the memory layer itself as the
independent variable**: same fleet, same task, same model, swap only the memory backend, score
inter-agent agreement.
3. **The dense-cosine baseline is not a strawman and sometimes beats us.** It converged correctly 4 times
and was cheaper than Vestige in both Kimi K3 trials measured ($0.4429 vs $0.4918 in trial 1).
4. **The retrievable corpus is 8 documents.** Nothing here is measured at production scale, and the two
scaling axes run in opposite directions: more documents push a cause that already ranks 7th further
down a similarity list, which makes N=8 the *easy* case for the RAG arms, while Vestige's backfill
degrades as more memories share the join entity, which is 2 of 9 here.
5. **`similarity_rank` in the Vestige receipt is self-reported by Vestige.** The independent check is
that the RAG arm's own tool output shows the decoy outranking the cause, which is visible in the
transcripts.
6. **The Vestige arm has a `vestige_log` write tool no competitor arm was given.** It did not produce the
result: in every agent run, the key came from that agent's own single backfill call, and every log
write happened strictly later in the transcript.
7. **The competitor corpus is built content-only**, tags discarded (`runner.py:399`). Restoring tags was
measured and flips zero outcomes; the cause still never reaches rank 1 and still ranks 7th or 8th on
symptom queries in both conditions.
8. **mem0's cells in the pre-fix trials are contaminated.** mem0 persists to `~/.mem0` in addition to its
configured store, which the harness cleared but `~/.mem0` was not, so it carried facts across trials.
That disadvantaged mem0. Fixed, and flagged wherever those cells appear.
9. **One arm ran below its documented behaviour.** The tool description shown to Zep's agents said
"graph RRF", which overstates what `EDGE_HYBRID_SEARCH_RRF` does. Corrected after these runs.
10. **The author built the benchmark, the harness, and one of the products measured.** Which is why the
raw transcripts ship rather than a summary.
---
## 7. Check it yourself
```
harness/ the runner, the fleet driver, the trial generator
tests/bm25_baseline.py reproduces the ranking table, no API key needed
results/trial-1/ all 7 arms, all 21 agent transcripts
```
Start here if you are auditing: every arm JSON carries `memory_layer_alive` and `retrieval_err_total`.
An arm whose backend never answered is a missing measurement, not a retrieval loss, and should never be
read as a score. Where that telemetry predates a run, liveness was reconstructed from the transcripts by
counting successful tool results, and that is stated wherever it applies.
---
## The short version
A memory system can be right for most of your agents and still be unusable, because a fleet is a
conjunction and the statistic that governs it is a minimum, not a mean.
And the failure you should actually fear is not the one where your agents argue. It is the one where
they all agree, the tests pass, and the key is wrong.
**Zero out of twenty-one.**

# One misled agent voids a three-agent fleet
**What happens when three AI agents fix the same bug, and only two of them know the truth.**
Trial 1 of the Silent Rotation benchmark. Kimi K3, seven memory configurations, one randomized secret.
Every number and every quotation below comes from the raw agent transcripts, which are published
alongside this document in `results/trial-1/`.
---
## The result in one paragraph
Three agents work the same failing test. The fix requires knowing which cryptographic signing key is
currently live. That key is randomized per trial and appears in no file the agents can read. It exists
only in the memory layer.
Four of the six memory configurations put the correct answer in front of at least two of the three
agents. Three of them lost anyway. In each losing case exactly one agent out of three never received
the correct fact, confidently adopted a planted decoy, and wrote a conflicting change. The merge
fractured and nothing shipped.
Two agents right plus one misled equals zero production-safe fleets.
---
## Why this is not a retrieval story
The reflex when a memory system loses is to say its retrieval was bad. That is not what happened here.
In every losing arm the correct memory was in the store, and most agents found it.
Here is the complete trial-1 outcome table. `fixed_correctly` means the tests went green **and** an
independent production replay passed **and** the key was right.
| arm | what it is | verdict | retrievals | fleet cost | wall clock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| anarchy | no memory tool at all (control) | green_but_voids_prod | 0 | $0.5668 | 162.04s |
| rag | dense cosine, nomic-embed-text, top 3 | **fixed_correctly** | 6 | $0.4429 | 140.68s |
| sync | Vestige causal backfill | **fixed_correctly** | 3 | $0.4918 | 137.29s |
| mem0 | mem0ai OSS, LLM extraction on ingest | failed_merge_conflict | 7 | $0.4888 | 154.25s |
| supermemory | supermemory, vendor defaults | **fixed_correctly** | 7 | $0.5119 | 143.81s |
| hindsight | semantic + BM25 + cross-encoder rerank | failed_merge_conflict | 6 | $0.4974 | 147.78s |
| zep | Graphiti temporal knowledge graph | failed_merge_conflict | 13 | $0.5341 | 135.28s |
Read the losing rows by agent instead of by arm and the pattern is identical every time.
| arm | agent a0 | agent a1 | agent a2 | conflicts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mem0 | **k_antares** | k_nashira | k_nashira | 2 |
| hindsight | k_nashira | **k_antares** | k_nashira | 2 |
| zep | **k_antares** | k_nashira | k_nashira | 2 |
The correct key was `k_nashira`. In all three arms, two agents out of three got it. In all three arms,
the third agent took `k_antares`, a decoy planted in a closed staging ticket. Different arm, different
agent index, same shape.
---
## The agent that failed was not reasoning badly
This is the part that matters, and it is why the transcripts are published rather than summarized.
The agent that got it wrong was not sloppy. It reasoned carefully and correctly from the evidence it
was handed. Here is mem0's agent a0, in its own words, at the moment it committed:
> "Both configs have blank key ids, left blank by an 'externalize secrets' refactor. The memory said:
> OPS-522 the key id was reset to `k_antares` and verification recovered. That suggests `k_antares` is
> the key the platform shipped with / should use."
That is a good inference. The retrieval had returned exactly one key-related fact, and that fact said
`k_antares` fixed a verification failure. a0 searched twice. Neither search returned the rotation
runbook naming `k_nashira`.
Now here is its teammate a2, on the same arm, in the same trial, working from a retrieval that did
surface more:
> "Memory said: 'OPS-522: a staging box failed token verification after a hand-edited config; on-call
> reset the key id to k_antares and verification recovered, noting it was staging-only with no
> rotation.' Hmm, that says k_antares was staging-only. That memory may be a hint that the production
> key id is something else, or it might be a red herring. Let me search memory more specifically."
a2 got suspicious and kept looking. a0 had no reason to be suspicious, because nothing it retrieved
contradicted the decoy.
The two agents did not disagree about how to interpret a shared reality. **Their memory layer gave them
different realities.** One of them was working from a past in which `k_antares` was the answer.
hindsight's a1 shows the same thing from the other side. It searched twice, and its second query was
well formed:
> query: `externalize secrets refactor blanked key id which kid did the platform ship with activeKid trustedKid`
That query never surfaced `k_nashira` either. Its reasoning then walks straight into the decoy:
> "The question: which kid should both sides use? The config comment says 'entry the platform shipped
> with' dangling comment. The hindsight memory says: 'Closed ticket OPS-522 ... on-call reset the key
> id to k_antares and verification recovered.'"
Same arm, same corpus, same model, same turn budget. Its two teammates asked differently and got the
truth.
---
## Why the symptom query fails
Every agent in every arm opened with a query describing the symptom. Here is what the very first
retrieval returned for the RAG arm's a0, verbatim, with the similarity scores the tool reported:
> Top-3 memories by semantic similarity (cosine, nomic-embed-text):
> **[1] (similarity 0.641)** Closed ticket OPS-522: a staging box failed token verification after a
> hand-edited config; on-call reset the key id to k_antares and verification recovered. Staging-only,
> nothing rotated.
> **[2] (similarity 0.629)** Ledger verifier threw a 500 on charge when the token had no 'kid' header...
The top hit for "my charge test is failing on token verification" is a document about a token
verification failure that was fixed by setting a key id. It is an excellent match for the symptom. It
is also the wrong answer.
The document that actually explains the failure reads:
> "Rotation runbook, Q3: we migrated the live signer to k_nashira and let the old material age out.
> Every credential minted since the cutover carries the new kid."
Notice that it shares almost no surface vocabulary with "end-to-end charge test failing on session
token verify." It does not mention charges, tests, or failures. It is a routine operational note
written four days before anything broke.
We measured this directly. Against the eight-document retrievable corpus, using the exact queries the
agents actually typed:
| query (verbatim from a transcript) | who asked it | dense cosine | BM25 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `end-to-end charge test failing identity gateway ledger session token verify` | rag a0, first query | 7 of 8 | 7 of 8 |
| `end-to-end charge test failing session token identity gateway ledger` | zep a0, first query | 7 of 8 | 7 of 8 |
| `default key kid keyring shipped platform active key` | zep a0, third query | 3 of 8 | 7 of 8 |
| `which key id active signing key k_antares externalize secrets refactor blank config` | mem0 a0, second query | 3 of 8 | 4 of 8 |
| `no active signing key selected signing key rotation identity-service keyring` | supermemory a0, first query | 4 of 8 | 6 of 8 |
Measured against trial 1's own eight-document corpus, exported from the seeded store. Okapi BM25 with
k1=1.5 and b=0.75; dense is nomic-embed-text, the same embedder the RAG arm used.
**When you describe the symptom, the cause ranks last.** Not sixth. Last, or next to last, out of
eight.
This is not a tuning problem, and it is worth being precise about why. The cause is not merely
dissimilar to the failure. The corpus contains look-alike documents that are *more* similar to the
failure than the cause is, because they describe the same symptom. Sharpening the embedding pushes the
look-alikes up, not the cause. **Better similarity matching makes an anti-correlation worse, not
better.**
We ran the BM25 lexical baseline specifically because the answer is a rare literal token, which is
supposed to be exact-match's home ground. It is not better. It ties dense cosine on the symptom queries,
where both bury the cause at rank 7 of 8, and it is worse by one to four ranks on every query that
actually worked. The decoys share the target's exact vocabulary, so lexical scoring rewards them just
as much. The thing that separates the right key from the wrong one is *which one is current*, and
recency has no lexical signal at all.
There is also a practical limit on exact match here. The live key is randomized per trial from a
50-key keyring and appears in no readable file, so you can only type it into a query after you already
know the answer.
---
## What the winning arms actually did
Three arms shipped a correct, production-safe fix. They did it in visibly different ways.
**rag** and **supermemory** won by reformulating. Every one of their agents opened with a symptom query,
got the decoy, and then wrote a second query that described the *shape of the answer* rather than the
shape of the problem. supermemory's a0 opened with `no active signing key selected signing key rotation
identity-service keyring`. It had already guessed that a rotation was involved before it searched.
That works. It also means the model is spending reasoning budget compensating for retrieval, and that
it has to suspect the answer's category before it can find it.
**sync**, the Vestige arm, did not formulate a query. `vestige_backfill` takes no query argument. Each
agent called it exactly once, and the tool returned this:
```json
{
"causes": [{
"content_preview": "Rotation runbook, Q3: we migrated the live signer to k_nashira ...",
"age_days_before_failure": 4.0,
"shared_entities": ["active_key"],
"similarity_rank": 6,
"backfill_score": 1.51,
"reason": "Reached back 4.0d to a quiet memory sharing 1 entity (active_key) with the
failure; it ranked #6 on similarity, so semantic search would have missed it."
}]
}
```
Three agents, three calls, three identical results. Zero merge conflicts. The receipt states its own
similarity rank, which is the tool reporting that the fact it just returned was one a similarity search
would have buried.
**Be precise about what that demonstrates.** The `active_key` entity link between the failure and the
cause is authored by the benchmark harness (`prepare_trial.py:187` and `:198`). Vestige's extractor does
not derive it from the prose. So this shows that *traversing an existing causal edge* returns the cause
in one call with no query formulation. It does **not** show that the edge can be discovered
automatically. That is a separate, unproven claim, and this benchmark does not test it.
---
## The control that makes the point
The most useful row in the table is the one with no memory at all.
**anarchy** had all three agents converge unanimously on `k_olivine`. Zero merge conflicts. Perfect
agreement. The tests went green. The production replay failed.
So convergence is not the prize. A fleet can agree perfectly and be perfectly wrong. What the memory
layer has to deliver is convergence *on the truth*, and the failing arms show that delivering it to two
out of three agents is worth exactly as much as delivering it to none.
anarchy also did something worth its own study: with no memory, it did not fail loudly. It shipped a
green test suite that breaks production. That result has nothing to do with any memory product, which
is why we find it credible.
---
## Why the usual metrics cannot see this
Retrieval quality is normally reported as recall@k, MRR, or nDCG. All three are **means over queries**.
Fleet success is not a mean. It is a conjunction. Every agent editing shared state has to hold the same
correct belief, or the merge breaks. The statistic that governs the outcome is the **minimum** over
agents, not the average.
If each agent independently has a 90% chance of retrieving the deciding fact:
| fleet size | probability every agent gets it |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.90 |
| 3 | 0.73 |
| 5 | 0.59 |
| 10 | 0.35 |
A memory layer that benchmarks at 90% recall looks excellent and produces a coin flip at fleet size 5.
Nothing in the standard metric suite surfaces that, because the standard metric suite was designed for
one agent asking one question.
The measurements a fleet actually needs are different:
- **Correct convergence.** Did *every* agent independently reach the production-safe answer?
- **Retrieval consistency.** How many distinct purported truths did the memory layer hand out across
agents working the same incident?
- **Query sensitivity.** How much did the returned evidence change with small changes in wording?
- **Fleet-safe completion.** Did the merged result stay conflict free and pass an external replay?
- **Cost per converged safe fix.** Retrievals, turns, tokens, seconds and dollars until the whole fleet
was correct.
---
## What this does not show
Stated plainly, because the interesting result is worth more than an overclaim.
1. **The causal edge is hand authored.** `prepare_trial.py:187` tags the cause `keyring_rotation,active_key`
and `:198` tags the failure `active_key,crash`. None of the seven distractors carry it. Remove that
string and backfill returns `causes: []`. This measures traversal, not discovery.
2. **The outcome column does not separate the winners.** rag, sync and supermemory all scored
`fixed_correctly`. Plain dense cosine over eight documents tied the memory products, and it was the
**cheapest arm in the trial** at $0.4429. There is no "Vestige beats RAG" result here to defend.
3. **The retrievable corpus is eight documents.** Nothing here is measured at production scale, and the
two scaling axes run in opposite directions. More documents can only push a cause that already ranks
seventh further down a similarity list, which makes N=8 the *easy* case for the RAG arms. Vestige's
backfill degrades as more memories share the join entity, which is two of nine here.
4. **This is one trial of one scenario on one model.** The per-agent divergence pattern repeated across
three independent arms within it, and reproduced in a later run, but n is small and it is one bug
shape.
5. **`similarity_rank` in the receipt is self-reported by Vestige.** The independent check on it is that
the RAG arm's own tool output showed the decoy outranking the cause on symptom queries, which is
visible in the transcripts.
6. **The Vestige arm has a write-back coordination tool** (`vestige_log`) that no competitor arm was
given. It did not produce the result: in all six agent runs across both trials, each agent got the
key from its own single backfill call, and every log write happened strictly later in the transcript.
7. **The competitor corpus is built content-only**, with the `tags` field discarded (`runner.py:399`).
Restoring tags to competitors was measured and flips zero outcomes; the cause still never reaches
rank 1, and on symptom queries it still ranks seventh or eighth in both conditions.
8. **The author built the benchmark, the harness, and one of the products measured.** Which is why the
raw transcripts are published rather than a summary table.

## Reproducing it
Everything needed to check this is in the repository.
```
harness/ the runner, the fleet driver, and the trial generator
harness/agent/prepare_trial.py seeds the corpus and randomizes the key
results/trial-1/ all 7 arm results and all 21 agent transcripts
tests/ the arm liveness gate
```
The claims above map to files. The outcome table is `results/trial-1/{arm}.json`, field
`fleet_verdict`. The per-agent key choices are `fix_directions` in the same files. Every quotation is in
`results/trial-1/transcript-{arm}-a{n}.json` under `turns[].reasoning` and `turns[].tool_results`.
One thing to check first if you are auditing this: each arm's JSON carries `memory_layer_alive` and
`retrieval_err_total`. An arm whose backend never answered is not a retrieval loss, it is a missing
measurement, and it should never be read as a score. In trial 1 all six memory arms were alive with
zero retrieval errors.
---
## The short version
Similarity retrieval asks every agent to guess the vocabulary of an answer it has not seen yet. Most of
them guess well. In a fleet, most is not enough.
Two agents found the truth. One found the decoy. Nothing shipped.

# Show HN post
## Titles, ranked
**1. Show HN: One misled agent voids a three-agent fleet (memory benchmark, 5 models)**
Leads with the finding, not the product. States a concrete falsifiable claim. 79 chars.
2. Show HN: I benchmarked 6 agent-memory systems and a plain cosine baseline tied mine
More self-deprecating, very HN, but buries the actual finding one click deeper.
3. Show HN: Retrieval quality was not the problem. The access primitive was.
Sharpest thesis, but abstract, and gives a reader nothing to click for.

## Body
I run three coding agents on the same repo at the same time. They kept shipping
broken merges, so I built a benchmark to find out why. The answer was not what I
expected, and my own tool does not come out of it cleanly.
**The setup.** Three agents fix one failing end-to-end test in a TypeScript
monorepo. The fix needs the currently live signing key id. That key is randomized
per trial from a 50-key keyring and appears in no file the agents can read. It
exists only in the memory layer. Seven arms: a no-memory control, dense cosine
RAG, my thing (Vestige), mem0, supermemory, hindsight, and Zep/Graphiti. A trial
counts as a pass only if the merged result is green AND passes an independent
production replay AND uses the correct key.
Alongside the true cause I planted a decoy: a closed ticket reading "a staging box
failed token verification, on-call reset the key id to k_antares and verification
recovered. Staging-only, nothing rotated." It reads exactly like the answer.
**The first thing I found is that there are two failure modes and only one of them
is visible.**
Split: agents disagree, write conflicting changes, the merge fractures, nothing
ships. Loud. You find out immediately.
Converged wrong: every agent agrees, on the decoy. Tests go green. The merge is
clean. Production breaks. This is the one that ships.
Across 5 models and 22 trials:
arm converged CORRECT converged WRONG split
no memory 0/22 16/22 6/22
dense cosine RAG 4/21 10/21 7/21
Vestige 19/21 0/21 2/21
The middle column is the finding. A memoryless fleet marched confidently off a
cliff 16 times out of 22. Dense cosine did it 10 times out of 21.
**The agents were not reasoning badly.** GPT-5.6 Sol, committing to the wrong key:
> "I'm weighing whether to fix the memory to say that the key k_wezen is staging
> only. The note mentions a closed ticket about resetting the key id for k_wezen
> in staging without any rotation, which seems intentional... I've noticed that my
> memory indicates a reset to k_wezen, so I must set both configs to that"
It read the caveat and used the key anyway. And an agent in another trial:
> "k_sirius is the key id verification recovered with. No other memory suggests a
> different key."
It checked for a contradiction. None came back. You cannot prompt-engineer around
that. The agent did everything right and was handed an incomplete past.
**Why similarity cannot fix this.** Measured on the real corpus with the exact
queries the agents typed: when an agent describes the symptom, the causal memory
ranks 7th of 8. Under dense cosine AND under BM25. The decoy ranks 1st at 0.641
cosine, because the decoy is literally about a token verification failure fixed by
setting a key.
The document that explains a failure does not resemble the failure. "Rotation
runbook, Q3: we migrated the live signer to k_nashira" shares almost no vocabulary
with "charge test failing on token verify."
So symptom similarity here is not merely insufficient. It is anti-correlated with
causal usefulness, which means improving the incumbent retrieval objective
strengthens the wrong answer.
The strongest evidence for that: hindsight has the most sophisticated retrieval
stack in the benchmark. Embedded Postgres, BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5, BM25, and a
local cross-encoder reranker. Semantic and lexical and a second-pass rerank. On
the three trials where its backend answered, it produced zero correct fleets and
three fractured ones. Retrieval quality was never the limiting variable. The
access primitive was wrong for the incident.
**What Vestige does differently** is not better ranking. It takes no query at all.
Every agent anchors on the same failure event and walks backward through causal
history, filtering for currently valid state. That removes phrasing variance,
bypasses the similarity inversion, and makes supersession explicit instead of
assuming structured memory stays current on its own. One call per agent, same
answer to all three, on every model tested.
---
**Now the parts that argue against me, because you would find them anyway.**
The dense cosine baseline tied me. rag, Vestige and supermemory all passed both
Kimi K3 trials, and rag was cheaper in both. There is no "Vestige beats RAG"
outcome here to defend. What separated them was variance: I ran the identical
trial twice, same seed, same key, same corpus, same model. rag passed the first
time and fractured the second when one agent of three phrased a query differently
and took the decoy. Vestige did the same thing both times.
The causal edge is hand authored. prepare_trial.py:187 tags the cause and :198
tags the failure with a shared entity. Remove that string and my backfill returns
nothing. This measures traversal of an existing edge, not discovery of one. My
extractor does not derive that edge from prose, and I am not claiming it does.
I am not first to run multiple agents on one repo. CooperBench (arXiv 2601.13295)
did 652 collaborative coding tasks in January and named the result "the curse of
coordination." Memory architecture has also been compared as a variable before,
including DecentMem (arXiv 2605.22721). The narrower claim I think holds: this is
the first controlled evaluation of shared-memory backends in a live multi-agent
coding fleet holding model, repo, task, tool budget and production oracle constant
while measuring fleet convergence.
The retrievable corpus is 8 documents. Nothing here is measured at production
scale, and the two scaling axes run in opposite directions, so N=8 is the easy
case for the RAG arms and I say so.
Two arms are excluded. I found a contamination bug in my own harness: mem0's
second store at ~/.mem0 and Zep's FalkorDB graph were not flushed between trials,
so both were served facts from a previous trial that no other arm received. That
disadvantaged them. Their cells are withheld rather than published.
I have not run the ablation that separates event anchoring from causal traversal
from temporal lifecycle. A reviewer can fairly argue I won by removing query
variability alone. That is the next experiment.
And I built the benchmark, the harness, and one of the products in it. Which is
why all 210 agent transcripts ship with it rather than a summary table.

Repo, transcripts and the BM25 baseline script: [LINK]
Vestige itself is a local-first MCP memory server, Rust, single binary, AGPL: [LINK]
The thing I would actually like feedback on: is there prior work measuring
inter-agent belief convergence as a function of the memory backend? I could not
find it, and I would rather be pointed at it than keep claiming a gap.

"""Per-trial randomizer for the N-trial Silent Rotation benchmark.
Makes each trial information-theoretically INDEPENDENT so a skeptic cannot claim
the agents were tuned to one answer. Per trial it:
1. Picks a random set of 3 neutral key names + a random CORRECT one among them
(names are randomized too, so there is no fixed "borealis is always right").
2. Generates fresh random 32-byte hex for all 3 keys.
3. Rewrites shared/src/keyring.ts (+ .repo-snapshot copy) with the new keys.
4. Regenerates the production corpus: fresh tokens signed under the TRIAL's
correct key material, written to a per-trial PROD_CORPUS path.
5. Re-templates the Vestige seed script so the memory names the TRIAL's correct
key + its decoys (the deciding fact stays ONLY in memory, never the repo).
6. Leaves configs blank (RED base) and returns a manifest describing the trial,
so the run is fully reproducible from the master seed.
Everything here is deterministic given a seed, so `--seed S` reproduces an exact
trial. This is the "reproduce this exact trial" affordance a skeptic needs.
Usage (called by the experiment loop, or standalone for offline checks):
python3 prepare_trial.py --repo <torture-v3.5> --trial 3 --master-seed 12345 \
--corpus-out <path.json> --manifest-out <path.json>
Prints the chosen correct kid to stdout (last line) for the caller to export.

"""Lexical (BM25) and dense-cosine baseline over the Silent Rotation corpus.
WHY THIS EXISTS
---------------
The obvious objection to this benchmark is that the `rag` arm is dense-cosine
only, while the answer being hunted is a rare literal identifier (`k_nashira`),
which is supposed to be exact-match's home ground. If BM25 trivially finds the
causal memory, then the benchmark is measuring a baseline gap rather than
anything about memory architecture.
So we ran BM25. It does not find it either. On the symptom-shaped queries every
agent opens with, BM25 and dense cosine both bury the causal memory at rank 7 of
8, and on the reformulated queries that actually worked, BM25 is one to four
ranks WORSE than dense.
The mechanism: the planted decoys share the target's exact vocabulary ("signing
key", "kid", "keyring", "rotation", "active"), so lexical scoring rewards them at
least as much as the truth. What separates the right key from the wrong one is
which key is CURRENT, and recency carries no lexical signal.
There is also a practical ceiling on exact match here. The live key is randomized
per trial from a 50-key keyring and appears in no file the agent can read, so you
can only type it into a query after you already know the answer. The exact-key
probe below is included to show that even then it only reaches rank 3.
USAGE
-----
python3 bm25_baseline.py <corpus.json> [--no-dense]
<corpus.json> is a `vestige export --format json` dump of the seeded trial store,
i.e. the exact same source the competitor arms read (see
`harness/agent/runner.py::_rag_load_facts`). The retrievable corpus excludes the
PRODUCTION OUTAGE memory, matching the arms' behaviour: a retriever indexes prior
history, not the live error it is being asked about.
Dense scoring needs ollama on localhost:11434 with nomic-embed-text, the same
embedder the `rag` arm uses. Pass --no-dense to run BM25 only.

# verify-arms.sh -- PROVE every benchmark arm's memory layer is CALLABLE and
# returns REAL DATA before a single paid token is spent.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS
# ---------------
# On Jul 20 2026 an adversarial audit of a completed, already-paid-for 7-arm run
# found that THREE of the six competitor memory layers had never successfully
# retrieved anything, in any recorded run:
#
# hindsight 19/19 retrieval calls returned an ERROR string (0 successes)
# zep 22/22 retrieval calls returned an ERROR string (0 successes)
# mem0 14/15 retrieval calls returned an ERROR string (1 success)
#
# Every one of those was scored as a substantive retrieval LOSS and aggregated
# into a published "competitor 0/5" column. They were not losses. They were
# crashes: an IPv6 port collision, a shared asyncio loop driven from three
# threads, and an ingest that exceeded its tool-call timeout. The result JSON
# reported agents_errored=0 for all of them, because the harness only ever
# tracked Vestige's own tool usage.
#
# A benchmark that cannot tell "the competitor retrieved and chose wrong" from
# "the competitor's backend never answered" is not measuring what it claims to
# measure. This script is the gate that makes that failure mode impossible to
# ship again. Run it, get a green matrix, THEN spend money.
#
# WHAT IT CHECKS, PER ARM
# 1. single-threaded -- the tool returns real content, not an "ERROR:" string
# 2. 3 concurrent threads -- the ACTUAL fleet condition (fleet_runner.py runs
# FLEET_SIZE agents in a ThreadPoolExecutor). Every one of the three dead
# arms above passed condition 1 at some point and failed condition 2.
#
# USAGE
# bash verify-arms.sh # all 7 arms
# bash verify-arms.sh rag sync zep # a subset
#
# Exit 0 = every checked arm is READY. Non-zero = do NOT start a paid run.
