We tightened the grounding trace across the Agentic RAG loop. The goal is simple: answer synthesis should be explainable from retrieval and evidence state, not from a post-hoc narrative.
Trace shape
The public-safe shape is:
- Query structure is parsed.
- Retrieval method selection is recorded.
- Candidate evidence is collected.
- Evidence selection narrows the context.
- Answer synthesis uses the selected context.
- Diagnostics remain available for review.
Why this matters
If retrieval, evidence selection, and synthesis collapse into one opaque step, a correct-looking answer cannot be audited. The trace exists to keep those stages separable.
What stayed out
This update does not expose private corpora, internal PRs, customer data, or operational traces.
