The worker contract was only proven by one happy-path fixture and a handful of
inline assertions, so nothing continuously checked that a reply Timmy cannot use
is refused instead of guessed at.
Corpus: a CC0 synthetic corpus (stool, non-stool, blur, glare, empty bowl,
malformed response) generated deterministically by scripts/build_vision_corpus.py.
Every fixture records its sha256, provenance, licence, case class, the provider
reply it replays, and the outcome that reply must produce. loadVisionCorpus
refuses a fixture whose bytes no longer match the manifest, so the corpus cannot
be edited into a different test. No real medical imagery, camera, or third-party
content is involved.
Contract fixes the corpus exposed:
- A schema-valid reply with a null form and colour is now an abstention
(abstainedFor: unusable_visual_fields) instead of a hard provider failure. The
declared response schema permits those nulls, so treating the reply as an error
was wrong; it now abstains calmly and still prefill nothing.
- Fail-closed replies carry a machine-readable code (invalid_json, invalid_fields)
instead of prose matching, and visionFailureResponse() maps them to plain,
user-safe copy with no provider text, image bytes, or credentials echoed. A
running server now returns that copy for unparsable and out-of-range replies.
Evidence: unit corpus contract and hash integrity, corpus-wide conformance
through the real analysis path, the same corpus through a running server.mjs with
a stub worker (200 abstain vs 503 fail-closed, no leaked bytes), and a real
browser acceptance run for the refusal UI. The release demo replays three corpus
cases through the real code path so the video shows the status the server would
actually send, with the on-camera caption gated by the release builder.
