Release details & context
Multi-family judge benchmarks and defect regression suite
On OpenRouter’s 454-case pipeline benchmark, glossary rules and retries cut code and terminology check failures from 147 on a bare prompt down to 4, and cut critical errors summed across blind Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon and DeepSeek V4 Pro judges from 203 to 109 while maintaining a 22-case regression suite for production edge cases such as HIPAA negation and UI verb/noun ambiguity.
