Governed Routing With Receipts — When the Local Lane Consults the Frontier, and What It Costs
The Advisor's router is deterministic and observables-only: it escalates on detectable failure signals — a citation outside the retrieved set, a rank-sanity anomaly — never on vibes. Route bakeoffs at $0 and $0.0033, a no-egress gate for private state, and a receipt a script re-verifies.
Series Machine that Builds MachinesThe third piece of the Advisor trilogy: the governance layer between a trained local lane and the hosted frontier.
Planned coverage: the observables-only router (escalate on citation_outside_retrieved, rank-sanity margins, format failure — signals computable without labels) and its honest limitation (a wrong citation that outranks the right one is undetectable); the route bakeoff economics — local-only 28/28 at $0, frontier-in-the-loop 28/28 at $0.0033, with every hosted escalation carrying tier, provider, model, cost, and verdict; the data-policy gate that blocks private-state queries from egress entirely; and the §14 publish receipt — promotion as a script that reads tracked evidence and fails when a claim stops being supported, rendered as read-only cards in the Arena cockpit.
The through-line from the refusal-floor piece: the weights carry the floor, the router narrows the remaining failure surface, and the receipt makes the whole decision auditable.
