## Sprint‑4B audit outcome

**Status: NOT READY for Sprint‑4B implementation without contract hardening.**  
The Dashboard-v5 preview is a strong reusable base, but the current contract and correlation projection do not yet safely support baseline/index overlays, scatterplots, lag heatmaps, phase comparison, or expanded symptom targets.

### Sprint‑4B blockers

1. **Correlation rows are under-validated at the dashboard boundary**
   - `dashboard_v5/data_provider.py:244-255` accepts any regex-safe identifiers from the persisted table.
   - `dashboard_v5/contracts.py:172-186` does not allowlist predictors, targets, phases, statuses, or lags and does not constrain:
     - `rho` to `[-1,1]`
     - `q_value`/coverage to `[0,1]`
     - valid null/status combinations
     - minimum/count invariants
   - Consequence: malformed or non-engine-generated aggregates could be rendered as meaningful health associations.

2. **Lag semantics are not represented**
   - Engine semantics are predictor on day `d`, target on `d + lag` (`multimodal_correlations.py:470-497`).
   - The client contract contains only `lag_days`; the UI renders an unexplained “Lag N” (`dashboard-v5.js:256-263`).
   - A positive lag can therefore be misread in the opposite direction.

3. **Unit compatibility is undefined**
   - Raw mode enforces only “maximum two checked boxes” (`dashboard-v5.js:306-334`).
   - It permits nonsensical overlays such as symptom score plus heart rate on one axis.
   - Registry metadata has display `unit`, but no canonical `unit_family`, transform eligibility, range, or axis contract (`metric_registry.py:7-25`).

4. **Baseline/index mode is absent**
   - Existing point-level rolling medians can be reused, but no transform semantics cover:
     - missing baseline
     - zero or negative baseline
     - insufficient baseline history
     - whether the baseline excludes the current observation
   - The current baseline correctly excludes the current point (`data_provider.py:88-96`), which should remain invariant.

5. **Expanded symptom targets require engine changes first**
   - Engine exports only `symptom_total` (`multimodal_correlations.py:68,165-188`).
   - Persistence rejects any other target (`multimodal_correlations.py:574-575`).
   - Dashboard-v5 exposes only `symptom.total`.
   - The correlation engine, persistence allowlist, registry, projection, and tests must move together.

6. **Scatterplot safety semantics are unspecified**
   - Persisted correlation rows are aggregate-only, which is good.
   - A new API payload containing paired dates or `x[]`/`y[]` vectors would violate the established persistence/client privacy direction.
   - Scatterplots must be derived transiently in the browser from already-authorized daily series or represented as server-generated aggregate bins—never as a new paired-record contract.

7. **Phase comparison could overstate differences**
   - Existing phase-specific `rho`, `q`, and `n` support descriptive side-by-side display.
   - They do **not** establish that correlations differ statistically between phases.
   - Formal “phase changed the association” claims are unsupported.

## Proposed exact client contract

Use a version bump such as **`health_dashboard.bundle.v2`** rather than silently extending v1.

### Metric registry

```json
{
  "id": "apple.hrv",
  "label": "HRV",
  "unit": "ms",
  "unit_family": "duration_ms",
  "group": "apple_health",
  "aggregation": "avg",
  "baseline_days": 30,
  "baseline_min_observations": 7,
  "decimals": 1,
  "raw_overlay_group": "duration_ms",
  "index_mode": "ratio_100",
  "raw_domain": { "min": 0, "max": null }
}
```

Rules:

- Raw mode: `1..2` selected series.
- Two raw series are compatible only when their non-null `raw_overlay_group` values are equal.
- Do not infer compatibility from display-unit strings.
- Index mode: `1..4` series.
- `ratio_100` is defined only when both value and baseline are finite and `baseline > 0`:
  - `index = round(100 * value / baseline, configured decimals)`
  - otherwise serialize/derive `null`
- Baselines always use prior observations only and require `baseline_min_observations`.
- Metrics where a zero baseline is common should either use a separately specified transform or be marked `index_mode: "unsupported"`; do not silently substitute a denominator.

### Explorer configuration

```json
{
  "explorer": {
    "modes": {
      "raw": {
        "max_series": 2,
        "compatibility": "same_raw_overlay_group"
      },
      "baseline_index": {
        "max_series": 4,
        "reference": 100
      }
    },
    "presets": [
      {
        "id": "sleep_recovery",
        "label": "Schlaf & Erholung",
        "mode": "baseline_index",
        "metric_ids": ["apple.sleep", "apple.hrv", "apple.resting_heart_rate"]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

Preset requirements:

- Fixed allowlisted IDs only.
- Unique preset IDs and metric IDs.
- Respect mode limits.
- Every metric must support the selected mode.
- A raw preset must satisfy one compatibility group.
- Invalid presets fail bundle validation; they must not be repaired client-side.
- No preset name may imply trigger, protection, diagnosis, treatment response, or causality.

### Correlation aggregate contract

```json
{
  "predictor": "apple:heart_rate_variability",
  "target": "symptom:gi_darm",
  "lag_days": 2,
  "lag_direction": "predictor_d_to_target_d_plus_lag",
  "medication_phase": "early_treatment",
  "n": 34,
  "eligible_target_days": 38,
  "expected_target_days": 45,
  "missing_pairs": 4,
  "target_coverage": 0.844444,
  "rho": -0.31,
  "p_value": 0.08,
  "q_value": 0.19,
  "status": "computed",
  "method": "spearman_7d_block_permutation_complete_case_phase_stratified_bh_v1",
  "signal_class": "exploratory_not_corrected",
  "quality_flags": [
    "complete_case",
    "phase_stratified",
    "7d_block_permutation",
    "no_causality"
  ]
}
```

Validation requirements:

- Predictor, target, phase, status, method, flags, and lag must be fixed-domain allowlists.
- `lag_days ∈ {0,1,2,3}`.
- `0 ≤ n ≤ eligible_target_days ≤ expected_target_days`.
- `missing_pairs = eligible_target_days - n`.
- `target_coverage = eligible_target_days / expected_target_days`.
- `rho ∈ [-1,1]`; `p_value,q_value ∈ [0,1]`.
- `computed` requires all statistics; insufficient statuses require all inferential values to be null.
- Preserve exact `0.0`.
- Dashboard projection should use the same validation function or shared constants as the persistence boundary, not a looser regex copy.

### Aggregate-only privacy boundary

Must never add these to the correlation payload:

- paired dates or timestamps
- `x_values`, `y_values`, or record vectors
- source names/files/paths/hashes
- notes or free text
- row IDs or provenance record IDs

Scatterplots may be:

1. **Preferred for 4B:** transient browser joins of existing allowlisted daily metric series; paired arrays remain only in JS memory and are not persisted or emitted as a second contract.
2. **Alternative:** aggregate two-dimensional bins:

```json
{
  "x_bin": 3,
  "y_bin": 5,
  "count": 7
}
```

No date or record identifiers.

## Expanded symptom-target semantics

Recommended target IDs:

```text
symptom:total
symptom:aphthen_mundulzera
symptom:gi_darm
symptom:muedigkeit_fatigue
symptom:haut
symptom:augen
symptom:gelenke
symptom:vaskulaer_thrombose_warnzeichen
```

Contract:

- `symptom:total` exists only when all seven required dimensions have exactly one valid score.
- A dimension target exists only when that dimension has exactly one valid score that day.
- An invalid, identical, or conflicting duplicate invalidates that dimension for the day.
- Unknown dimensions are ignored but cannot satisfy a required dimension.
- Absence remains missing; explicit zero remains observed.
- BH family remains **target × medication phase across every tested predictor and lag**, matching the current grouping at `multimodal_correlations.py:513-529`.
- Each target gets independent coverage and missingness accounting.

---

## Visualization implementation map

### 1. Contracts and registry

**Files**
- `scripts/health/dashboard_v5/contracts.py`
- `scripts/health/dashboard_v5/metric_registry.py`

**Work**
- Add the metric compatibility/index fields.
- Add Explorer modes and validated presets.
- Replace loose correlation validation with fixed-domain and numeric invariants.
- Add lag direction and aggregate count fields.
- Version the schema.

### 2. Correlation engine

**File**
- `scripts/health/multimodal_correlations.py`

**Work**
- Return per-dimension targets alongside total.
- Expand `ALLOWED_TARGETS`.
- Keep phase-safe lag pairing unchanged.
- Keep block-permutation inference and BH correction.
- Prefer canonical IDs shared with Dashboard-v5 instead of duplicated hand-maintained maps.
- Do not add paired vectors to persistence.

### 3. Provider projection

**File**
- `scripts/health/dashboard_v5/data_provider.py`

**Work**
- Project only validated engine-generated aggregate fields.
- Fail closed per malformed row or reject the entire correlation section; never render partially trusted statistics.
- Add Explorer configuration/presets.
- Keep existing daily series as the sole source for transient scatter pairing.

### 4. Renderer

**File**
- `scripts/health/dashboard_v5/render.py`

Add explicit controls:

- raw / baseline-index mode
- preset selector
- chart type: timeline / scatter / lag heatmap / phase comparison
- target selector
- predictor selector
- permanently visible noncausal explanation
- visible lag direction:
  - “Prädiktor am Tag d; Symptomziel d + N Tage später”

### 5. JavaScript

**File**
- `scripts/health/assets/health-assets/dashboard-v5.js`

Refactor state into one Explorer controller:

```text
mode
chartType
selectedMetricIds
selectedPredictor
selectedTarget
selectedPhases
selectedPreset
```

Implement:

- raw selection limit and compatibility enforcement
- baseline-index transform with null propagation
- maximum four indexed series
- ephemeral complete-case scatter join
- lag heatmap from aggregate correlation rows
- descriptive phase facets
- deterministic chart destruction/update
- accessible tabular summaries for every visualization

### 6. Tests

**Files**
- `tests/test_health_dashboard_v5.py`
- `tests/test_multimodal_correlations_v1.py`
- `tests/browser/dashboard_v5.spec.js`
- `tests/fixtures/dashboard_v5_fixture.py`

---

## Deterministic synthetic tests

### Contract tests

- Reject two raw metrics with different `raw_overlay_group`.
- Accept two with the same group.
- Reject a third raw series.
- Accept four index-compatible series; reject five.
- Reject zero-baseline index output rather than emitting infinity.
- Confirm missing baseline/value yields JSON `null`.
- Reject presets with unknown IDs, duplicates, wrong mode, excessive count, or incompatible units.
- Reject correlation `rho=1.01`, `q=-0.1`, invalid phase/status/target, inconsistent counts, and wrong lag direction.
- Preserve `p_value=0.0` and `q_value=0.0`.

### Expanded targets

- Complete seven-dimension day produces total plus seven targets.
- Partial day produces only independently valid dimensions, never total.
- Explicit zero remains a target observation.
- Duplicate-identical, duplicate-conflicting, and duplicate-invalid row invalidates that dimension and total.
- Unknown dimension never creates a target.
- Positive-lag synthetic shift peaks at the expected lag.
- Predictor/target pairs crossing a phase boundary are absent.

### Scatter

- Dates `{1,2,4}` versus `{2,3,4}` produce exactly two ephemeral complete pairs.
- Missing and incomplete points are excluded; explicit zeros remain.
- No scatter payload contains dates, vectors, source fields, or row IDs.
- Constant x/y suppresses trend or inferential annotation.
- Switching period/mode removes stale pairs.

### Heatmap

- Fixed predictor/target fixture yields cells for lags `0..3` and allowed phases only.
- Missing/insufficient rows have neutral “insufficient data” cells, not zero correlation.
- Color domain is fixed to `[-1,1]`.
- Every cell exposes `rho`, `n`, coverage, status, q, and lag-direction text accessibly.

### Phase comparison

- Same predictor/target/lag across phases renders side-by-side aggregates.
- Missing phase remains “insufficient,” not zero.
- No text states or implies that treatment caused a change.
- UI never claims phases differ significantly without a dedicated validated contrast method.

### Browser behavior

- Raw incompatible metric selection is blocked with live-region feedback.
- Index mode allows four but not five.
- Safe preset restores deterministic mode/selection.
- Period changes recompute timelines and scatter pairs.
- Charts initialize once and update rather than stacking instances.
- Mobile/iPad/desktop layouts have no overflow.
- Keyboard and screen-reader summaries expose all controls and chart content.

---

## Reuse opportunities

- `rolling_baseline()` already excludes the current day and preserves nulls.
- `chartFor()` already aligns daily series by date and inserts nulls for missing selected-series days.
- Existing palette supports four indexed series.
- Existing transient state avoids localStorage/privacy persistence.
- Correlation engine already provides:
  - complete-case pairing
  - phase-boundary exclusion
  - deterministic block permutation
  - BH correction
  - strict aggregate-only storage validation
  - noncausal interpretations
- Existing synthetic fixture and browser viewport matrix are suitable foundations.

---

## Deferrals, not Sprint‑4B blockers

- Formal statistical testing of differences between medication phases.
- Confidence intervals for Spearman rho unless a dependence-aware method is designed.
- Additional nutrition macros until their unit audit is complete.
- Laboratory scatterplots: their sparsity and irregular sampling need a separate statistical design.
- User-authored presets or persisted Explorer state.
- Forecasting, anomaly detection, causal inference, treatment recommendations, or “trigger” classification.
- More lags than `0..3` without a new multiplicity/power review.

## Review execution

- Performed a code-only, read-only audit of the uncommitted Dashboard-v5 surface, correlation engine, renderer, JS, fixtures, and tests.
- Did **not** inspect production DBs, reports, exports, or secrets.
- Did **not** run tests that could create repository artifacts.
- Created or modified **no files**.
- Final Git status matched the pre-existing uncommitted Dashboard-v5 working tree.
