phase: 162_search_recall_small_sources
**Phase 162 — final verification pass (all tasks already complete; verified + docs pass)**

- Verified: `_fold` (NFKD+casefold, stdlib) inside `_normalize_name` — `BESTÅ`→`besta` question side, `BÅsta.md`→`basta` path side; A2 match classes/ranking/caps/bonus untouched; FTS/cosine/A8 untouched.
- Verified: `grep_document` folds both sides via the imported `_fold` (no second copy); regex-teaching lines byte-identical; 3 copy sites updated.
- Verified: `regenerate_overview` appends the deterministic `Sources: <name> (<k> doc|docs)` tail (happy path only; zero-doc + `LLMError` rows byte-identical; `build_overview_prompt`/`load_kb_overview`/`build_kb_section` untouched).
- Verified: `TOOLS_SECTION` grep sentence updated + D4 search-discipline sentence present **verbatim**, immediately after the grep sentence; `PERSONA`/LOW pins byte-identical (`test_prompt_lock.py`).
- Measured evidence (in `.agents/reports/162_…/task04_prefix_evidence_and_battery.md` + re-measured every run by `test_under_rank_is_measured_not_assumed`): pre-fix tokens `['build','best']` → IKEA doc rank 6 (outside top-5); post-fix `['build','besta']` → suggested #1, cosine unchanged 0.382.
- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_search_recall_small_sources.py -v --no-cov` → **7 passed** (isolated); neighbours `test_kb_overview{,_freshness} test_name_signal_read_chips test_grep_regex_teaching test_harness_aligned_tools test_agent_document_tools test_tool_call_compact` → **24 passed**.
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **3756 passed**, app coverage **99%** (>90%).
- `uv run ruff check .` → All checks passed; `uv run pyright` → **0 errors**.
- Completion criteria: fold both ways ✅ · `Sources:` tail ✅ · TOOLS_SECTION + D4 verbatim + re-cut pins ✅ · E2E green/battery recorded/full suite/coverage/lint ✅ · docs pass ✅ · commit + dir move = harness.
- Battery: 5 phase-119 questions byte-identical to the phase-119 record (GATE PASS); the 2 Besta questions **skipped loudly** — verified the 2026-09-05 replica dump has zero `ikea` matches (`grep -c -i ikea data/bor_live_kb_replica.dump.sql` = 0); rank gate stays with the owner's live KB.
- Docs fixed: README — overview-tail doc + `BOR_KB_OVERVIEW_MAX_CHARS` tail-cut constraint, the phase-162 search-discipline paragraph, per-phase (not per-story) E2E wording, new "Retrieval regression battery" section; AGENTS.md — rule 4 per-phase wording + battery command in Quick reference. (The overview's expected "AGENTS.md §6 tool table" does not exist in this repo — the grep contract line lives in README's tool table, already updated.)
- Deviations (recorded, not assumed): `_fold` adds `casefold` (required for the pinned `ß → ss`); `①` NFKD-decomposes to `1` (the overview's parenthetical was wrong) and is excluded by `NAME_TOKEN_MIN_LEN`; pre-fix evidence lives in the reports dir because task files are read-only for this pass.
- Owner follow-up A6 (runtime, not code): add the Tuning-tab steering note "IKEA's BESTÅ assembly PDF is a live source — search it as `BESTÅ` or `AA-1272068`".
- Next pending phase: none — 162 is the only entry in `todo/` (harness moves it to `complete/`).

"""Prompt-lock pin (phase 112, task 03 — owner decision iii, 2026-09-14).
The persona + HONESTY GATE text is **locked verbatim** (PLAN §6): it
changes through the plan, never in code. This module byte-pins the
locked prompt constants against their pre-phase-112 anchor values —
sha256 + exact prefix/suffix + total length, so *any* byte change
(option (i)'s copy tightening, option (ii)'s plan amendment, or an
accidental edit) fails loudly until the anchors are re-cut as part of
the same plan revision. ``tests.unit.test_prompts`` pins the
assembled-prompt structure and the behavioral contracts on top of
these constants; this file pins the constants themselves.

#: form — do not re-read a document read IN FULL (answer from it);

#: (task 03, LOCKED A3+A4): the ``grep`` sentence's ``(case-insensitive)``
#: parenthetical widened to the folded contract ``(case- and
#: accent-insensitive — accents fold: besta matches BESTÅ)``, and the
