Human-rating distillation: FeedbackRecords + session turns to eval samples, the auto-distill watermark, and the daemon janitor step that keeps a <spec>-ratings registry dataset current
Readme
@crewhaus/feedback-distill
The human-rating half of the improvement flywheel, extracted so both the toolchain and a compiled daemon bundle can run it.
feedback.ts— the pure core:FeedbackRecord, turn derivation, multi-rater resolution (majority / mean / adjudication + Cohen's kappa), anddistill()(rated turns →Sample[]+ a synthesizedgraders.yaml). No IO, no imports.redact.ts— the shared sync PII/secret redactor every ingestion surface applies before free text can reach a dataset.watermark.ts— the.crewhaus/feedback/.distill-state.jsontrigger: "≥ N unprocessed ratings", idempotent and retry-safe.collect.ts— reads the transcripts +.crewhaus/feedback/*.jsonlinto{ turns, records, sessionCount, sessionsDirs }. The transcript root is resolved the way the runtime resolves it (explicitsessionsDirs→ a managed daemon's per-tenanttenantsRootDir→CREWHAUS_SESSION_DIR→<cwd>/.crewhaus/sessions), because reading the wrong root makes every rating look unmatchable.review-queue.ts— the B20 persistent human-review queue (.crewhaus/review/queue.jsonl) and its feeders. Lives here so the DAEMON step can enqueue B19 rater disagreements;apps/cli/src/review-queue.tsre-exports it unchanged.janitor-step.ts—createDistillJanitorStep(): a@crewhaus/runtime-corejanitor step (same seam as the dream step) that distills accumulated ratings into a new version of the<spec>-ratingsregistry dataset on the daemon's own clock.
Why the janitor step exists (D39). feedback.autoDistill used to fire only
at crewhaus run teardown, so the shapes that actually generate ratings — the
channel bot's 👍/👎 reactions and the gateway's web UI — accumulated feedback
that nothing ever distilled. The daemon runs with credentials and base distill
is offline anyway, so the step is safe to run there.
What the shared watermark does and does not guarantee. The CLI teardown,
cron, and the daemon step share one .distill-state.json, so once any of them
lands a batch the others see nothing unprocessed and register nothing new. It
is not a lock: the read→distill→register→write sequence is unsynchronized, so
two runs that OVERLAP in the same harness dir can each register a version built
from the same ratings (each version is a self-contained full rebuild — no
feedback is lost or double-counted).
Two zero-sample outcomes, deliberately different. Ratings that exist but match no transcript turn advance the watermark (their sessions are gone; retrying is noise). A sweep that finds no readable transcript at all does not — that is indistinguishable from a misconfigured session root, and advancing there would mark every submitted rating processed forever.
