Add commander-override capture harness

filter rejected HARNESS reversible: simple 2h proposed 4 Jun 2026
What is the proposed change?
Wrap the existing commander override path with an append-only JSONL logger. On every override, append: {ts, candidate_id, original_kill_reason, override_reason_text, proposal_shape_tags[], filter_axes_at_override[]}. No behavior change to the override path itself — pure observability. Create override_log.jsonl if absent; never reads or rewrites prior entries.
Target files
hypothesis_engine/moves/commander_override.js hypothesis_engine/data/override_log.jsonl
Expected effect
After 14 days, the log enables a one-liner query that would have surfaced the observed 'audit-shaped' cluster (4 overrides clustered on audit-shaped products per S183 traces) in real time. Enables downstream axis-weight tuning informed by override patterns.
Falsifier — what would prove this wrong?
After 30 days of logging, if fewer than 5 overrides total are captured (insufficient signal for clustering), OR if shape-clusters in overrides show no correlation with subsequent graduation rate (r<0.3), the harness produces noise not signal.
Evidence that triggered the proposal
  • E — S183 trace: 4 commander overrides clustered on audit-shaped products
