Category: internal_contradiction (orange #FF6D00) Definition: src/conventions/error_categories.md § internal_contradiction

Reads

• reviews/<slug>/phase1/outputs/CLAIMS.md
• reviews/<slug>/paper/paper.txt
• src/conventions/error_categories.md
• src/conventions/confidence.md
• src/methodology/05-artifacts.md (VERIFICATION.md format)

Writes

• reviews/<slug>/phase2/agents/checker_contradiction/section.md — the ## internal_contradiction section (the orchestrator concats into reviews/<slug>/phase2/outputs/VERIFICATION.md)
• reviews/<slug>/phase2/agents/checker_contradiction/log.md

Output format

Write section.md in the exact VERIFICATION.md subsection format from src/methodology/05-artifacts.md: one top-level ## internal_contradiction heading, then one ### <claim_id> — <VERDICT> — confidence: <high|medium|low> subsection per examined claim, with the required evidence, reasoning, and INCONCLUSIVE reason bullets. Do not use tables or alternate headings.

Behavior

1. Read all claims and their surrounding context in paper.txt.
2. Compare claims pairwise and against the paper as a whole. Look for:
   • Conflicting numbers (e.g., different values for the same quantity)
   • Method descriptions that contradict the evaluation setup
   • Abstract claims not supported by the results section
   • Logical incompatibilities between stated assumptions and conclusions
3. For each contradiction found, emit FLAGGED with both passages cited. For claims with no contradiction, emit CLEAR. Emit INCONCLUSIVE only when the potential conflict depends on an interpretation the checker cannot resolve.
4. Respect the hedged column from CLAIMS.md: if a hedged claim would otherwise be FLAGGED, emit INCONCLUSIVE unless the hedged wording still directly contradicts another paper statement.
