# Argon2 QA Review: Fable-Authored `.case` Sample (18 Cases Across All Fable-Authored Statutes)

- **Auditor:** Argon2 (`claude-opus-4-6`)
- **Author Reviewed:** Fable (`claude-opus-4-6`)
- **Date:** 2026-11-10
- **Task Spec:** [`neov2/specs/argon2_fable_sample.md`](file:///home/mma/repos/neochart-wt-argon2/neov2/specs/argon2_fable_sample.md)
- **Target Branch Audited:** `master` (`1203c16`) compared against `origin/fable2-partial-review` (`3103ac1`)
- **Evidence Standard:** Every claim is backed by a command and pasted output.

## 1. Eligible Fable-Authored Pool (`neov2/qa/review-status.tsv`)

Across the 15 statutes in `neov2/cases/`, Fable authored **105 `.case` files** across **9 statutes** (`15usc1`, `18usc1341`, `18usc1343`, `18usc1962`, `18usc922`, `18usc924`, `21usc841`, `42usc1983`, `42usc2000e-2`). The other 6 statutes (`15usc1125`, `15usc78j`, `42usc1981`, `21usc846`, `29usc158`, `29usc623`) contain 0 Fable-authored files (their wave-2 authors are `Astra2` and `Astra4`, audited separately in [`neov2/qa/astra-cases-QA1.md`](file:///home/mma/repos/neochart-wt-argon2/neov2/qa/astra-cases-QA1.md), plus `Flash*` proposals).

Of the 105 Fable-authored `.case` files on `master`, **97 files** have either no `PASS` in [`neov2/qa/review-status.tsv`](file:///home/mma/repos/neochart-wt-argon2/neov2/qa/review-status.tsv) (61 files: 53 unreviewed + 8 with only `FIX` verdicts) or a stale `PASS` (`content_changed_after_review == 'yes'`, 36 files); only 8 files had a fresh `PASS` (`content_changed_after_review == 'no'`).

## Overall Quantitative Assessment of Fable-Authored Quality

### 1. Headline Metrics
- **Total Sampled Files Audited:** 18 files (2 per statute across all 9 Fable-authored statutes; 9 SCOTUS + 9 Circuit/District).
- **Outcome (`result`) Direction Accuracy:** **18 / 18 (100.0% PASS, 0.0% Defect Rate)** — Every single file in the 18-case sample records the correct `result` direction (`claimant-won`, `claimant-lost`, `remanded`, `mixed`, `not-decided`) verified against the canonical opinion disposition.
- **SCOTUS Syllabus Avoidance on `master`:** **9 / 9 (100.0% PASS, 0.0% Defect Rate)** — Following commit `c1324a9` on `kousisis-v-us.case`, zero quotes in any of the 9 SCOTUS files come from the Reporter's Syllabus.
- **Total Passing Without Fix on `master` (`1203c16`):** **4 / 18 files (22.2% PASS Rate)**.
- **Total Requiring Substantive Fix on `master` (`1203c16`):** **14 / 18 files (77.8% Defect Rate)**.
- **Projected Pass Rate After Merging `origin/fable2-partial-review` (`3103ac1`):** **11 / 18 files (61.1% PASS Rate, 38.9% Defect Rate)** — All 7 sampled files touched by `origin/fable2-partial-review` (`leegin`, `levine`, `neder`, `chung-lo`, `kousisis` when combined with `c1324a9`, `baker`, and `dunlap`) have their defects resolved by that branch.

| Failure Mode Category | Files Affected on `master` (n = 18) | Defect Rate on `master` | Files Remaining After `origin/fable2-partial-review` (n = 18) | Post-Branch Defect Rate |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| **1. Outcome (`result`) Inversion** | 0 / 18 | **0.0%** | 0 / 18 | **0.0%** |
| **2. Syllabus Quoting in SCOTUS Opinions** | 0 / 18 (0 / 9 SCOTUS) | **0.0%** | 0 / 18 | **0.0%** |
| **3. Procedural History, Party Contention, or Prior-Verdict Recitals Quoted as `fact` (`recital-as-fact`)** | 12 / 18 | **66.7%** | 7 / 18 | **38.9%** |
| **4. Judicial Holding / Inference Quoted as `fact` or Missing Lower-Court `held` (`held-as-fact`)** | 5 / 18 | **27.8%** | 4 / 18 | **22.2%** |
| **5. Route Fit Mismatch (`route-fit`)** | 3 / 18 | **16.7%** | 0 / 18 | **0.0%** |
| **6. Epistemic Basis Mismatch (`basis-error`)** | 1 / 18 | **5.6%** | 1 / 18 | **5.6%** |
| **7. Polarity Inversion / Element Misconflation / Role-Scope Errors** | 0 / 18 | **0.0%** | 0 / 18 | **0.0%** |
| **Any Substantive Defect (File-Level `FIX`)** | **14 / 18** | **77.8%** | **7 / 18** | **38.9%** |

### 2. Breakdown of Failure Modes (by Frequency across 18 Samples)
1. **Procedural History, Party Contention, or Prior-Verdict Recitals Quoted as Case Facts (12/18 = 66.7% on `master`; 7/18 = 38.9% after `origin/fable2-partial-review`):**
   - Two files on `master` fail `casedsl.py check --strict` with `guard[G2-recital]`: *Kousisis v. United States* (`@15918..16098`, `"Alpha and Kousisis moved for a judgment of acquittal, arguing..."`) and *Chapman v. United States* (`@1325..1498`, `"Petitioners appealed, claiming that the blotter paper is only a carrier medium..."`).
   - Five additional files on `master` quote lower-court procedural rulings, prior jury verdicts, or party legal contentions as `fact` and are already fixed on `origin/fable2-partial-review`: *Leegin* (`@5344..5439`, District Court exclusion of expert testimony), *Levine* (`@18005..18133`, `"Plaintiff has suggested that this ease involves a group boycott..."`), *Neder* (`@4518..4651`, District Court omission of materiality from jury instructions), *Kousisis* (`@15918..16098`), and *Dunlap* (`@2913..3064` prior jury conviction recital and `@31029..31255` `"Defendant contends that the court cannot rely..."`).
   - Six files not on `origin/fable2-partial-review` exhibit the same pattern: *Crest Construction* (`@18651..18848`, `"Plaintiffs argue the district court failed to 'recognize...'"`, and `@22861..23023`, `"Rather, Plaintiffs circularly argue..."`), *Ocampo* (`@22..367`, opening sentence reciting that defendants were convicted by a federal jury), *Collins* (`@1815..2080`, reciting the Fifth Circuit's `"no 'abuse of governmental power'"` ground for affirmance), *Henderson* (`@22254..22514` and `@26149..26410`, summary-judgment/appellate briefing postures), *Hicks* (`@5786..6065`, `"Respondent does not challenge the District Court's finding that petitioners sustained their burden of production..."`), and *Doe v. C.A.R.S.* (`@4676..4762`, `"Instead, she argues that she was discharged because she underwent a surgical abortion."`).
2. **Judicial Holding / Sufficiency Inference Quoted as `fact` or Missing Lower-Court `held` (5/18 = 27.8% on `master`; 4/18 = 22.2% after `origin/fable2-partial-review`):**
   - In *Baker* (`18usc1343`), the `decider court-below` block on `element property` tagged the district court's sufficiency ruling (`@29159..29468`) as `fact [supports]`, leaving the block with no `held` and no case fact (fixed on `origin/fable2-partial-review`).
   - In *Hicks* (`42usc2000e-2`), the `decider trial-judge` block on `element pretext` tags the District Court's ultimate bench-trial holding (`@7534..7739`, `"In short, the District Court concluded that 'although [respondent] has proven the existence of a crusade to terminate him, he has not proven that the crusade was racially rather than personally motivated.'"`) as `fact [cuts-against absent]`, leaving the block with no `held` line.
   - In *Ocampo* (`18usc924`), line 39 quotes the Seventh Circuit's sufficiency conclusion (`@21820..22075`, `"the jury could reasonably infer from all of the evidence that Ocampo possessed a loaded revolver in order to protect himself, his partner, and his cocaine shipment"`) as `fact [supports]`, and the `decider court-below` block on `element predicate.drug` has no `held`.
   - In *Henderson* (`42usc1983`), the `decider court-below` block (`element deprivation.eighth-amendment : satisfied [triable]`) has no `held` quote (even though the opinion explicitly states the district court's holdings at `@22405..22462` and `@25943..26148`) and only a single borrowed briefing-posture `fact` line.
   - In *Doe v. C.A.R.S.* (`42usc2000e-2`), line 89 quotes the Third Circuit's pretext inference (`@32278..32512`, `"The conversation between Kohl and Babich... indicates that Kohl may have had other reasons for terminating Doe's employment than her 'abandonment' of her job."`) as `fact [supports]`.
3. **Route Fit Mismatch (3/18 = 16.7% on `master`; 0/18 = 0.0% after `origin/fable2-partial-review`):**
   - In *Levine* (`15usc1`), `element agreement : satisfied [assumed]` used `route capacity-to-conspire` when the block merely assumed the first two § 1 elements arguendo (`route _whole`).
   - In *Neder* (`18usc1341`), `element materiality : not-reached` used `route _procedural` when the block announced the substantive statutory element rule (`route _whole`).
   - In *Chung Lo* (`18usc1341`), `element mails : satisfied [conceded]` used `route proof-of-mailing` for third-party County Recorder mailings where mailing was conceded and foreseeable third-party causation was at issue (`route caused-by-third-party`).
4. **Epistemic Basis Mismatch (1/18 = 5.6%):**
   - In *Doe v. C.A.R.S.* (`42usc2000e-2`), line 77 codes `element employer-reason : satisfied [triable]` on the employer's summary judgment motion, whereas the court holds as a matter of law/production (`[law]`) that unexcused absence is a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason (`held @29871..29968`).

### 3. Synthesis: The "Fable Quality Profile"
Fable's annotations are doctrinally deep and structurally sound: outcome (`result`) direction is 100% accurate across all 18 cases, role/scope/decider decompositions are well-reasoned, and polarities on genuine evidentiary facts are consistently right. Fable's primary recurring vulnerability—born of freezing the v0 quote sets during the mechanical v0→v1→v1.2 migrations—is **retaining procedural history, party contentions, or lower-court conclusions inside `fact` lines** (often noted candidly by Fable in `?` or `misfit` lines rather than excised from the quote set).

- **Case:** *United States v. Vera*, 701 F.2d 1349 (11th Cir. 1983) (`/f2d/701/1349-01`)
- **1. Outcome (`result`) Direction Check (Checked First):**
  - Criminal appeal by three defendants (Vera, Posada, Romero) from jury convictions under 21 U.S.C. § 846 and § 841(a)(1) (United States is claimant); Eleventh Circuit affirms all convictions. `result claimant-won` is **correct**.
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f2d/701/1349-01 43650 43745
  [43378] ... Accordingly, the district court did not err in denying Romero’s motion to suppress.
  [43729] AFFIRMED.
  ```
- **2. Role, Scope, Holding, Polarity, Basis, Route Fit & Quote Audit:**
  - **Clean Extraction:** Separate blocks for `party p1` (Vera) and `party p2` (Posada) on `element knowledge : satisfied [proved]` (`route circumstantial`) and `element possession : satisfied [proved]` (`route constructive` for Posada as owner of the stash shed and driver of the van; `route actual` for Vera physically loading the large boxes of quaaludes), plus `element act.distribute : satisfied [proved]` (`route delivery-or-transfer`, `party p3`, `count c1`), all cite concrete record facts, black-letter Fifth/Eleventh Circuit rules, and the panel's sufficiency holdings. The separate 21 U.S.C. § 846 conspiracy count (`count c2`) is properly isolated under `role background` so it does not pollute § 841 element instances.

  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f2d/701/1349-01 22630 22845
  [22460] Viewing the evidence as a whole in the light most favorable to the government, we cannot say that a reasonable jury must necessarily have a reasonable doubt as to Vera’s guilt. A reasonable jury could have concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the evidence established that Vera knowingly participated in the conspiracy and knowingly possessed and distributed the quaaludes.

### 8. 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Civil Action for Deprivation of Rights)

#### FIX — [`42usc1983/us-503-115-collins-v-harker-heights.case`](file:///home/mma/repos/neochart-wt-argon2/neov2/cases/42usc1983/us-503-115-collins-v-harker-heights.case)
- **Case:** *Collins v. City of Harker Heights*, 503 U.S. 115 (1992) (`/us/503/0115-01`)
- **1. Outcome (`result`) Direction Check (Checked First):**
  - Civil § 1983 suit by sanitation worker's widow against municipality; Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal affirmed by Fifth Circuit and affirmed by Supreme Court on the ground that the complaint alleged no Due Process violation. `result claimant-lost` is **correct**.
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /us/503/0115-01 19840 20245
  [19841] In sum, we conclude that the Due Process Clause does not impose an independent federal obligation upon municipalities to provide certain minimal levels of safety and security in the workplace and the city’s alleged failure to train or to warn its sanitation department employees was not arbitrary in a constitutional sense. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is therefore affirmed.
  [20225] It is so ordered.
  ```
- **2. Role, Scope, Holding, Polarity, Basis, Route Fit & Quote Audit:**
  - `element deprivation.substantive-due-process : not-satisfied [pleaded]` (`route affirmative-duty`, `pattern government-employer-unsafe-workplace`), `element policy.failure-to-train : satisfied [assumed]` (`route _whole`), and `element person : satisfied [law]` (`route municipality`) are well-structured and accurate.
  - **Defect (`recital-as-fact`):** In `element x-abuse-of-governmental-power : not-reached` (`role rule-announced`, lines 40–48), line 44 quotes `fact @1815..2080 [cuts-against] | It did not reach the question whether the city had violated Collins’ constitutional rights because it denied recovery on the ground that there had been no “abuse of governmental power,” which the Fifth Circuit had found to be a necessary element of a § 1983 action.` That is a procedural/doctrinal recital of the Fifth Circuit's legal rationale below, not a case fact.
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /us/503/0115-01 1740 2100
  [527] ... The District Court dismissed the complaint on the ground that a constitutional violation had not been alleged. No. W-89-CA-168 (WD Tex., Oct. 30, 1988), App. 20. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed on a different theory. 916 F. 2d 284 (1990). It did not reach the question whether the city had violated Collins’ constitutional rights because it denied recovery on the ground that there had been no “abuse of governmental power,” which the Fifth Circuit had found to be a necessary element of a § 1983 action. Id., at 287-288, and n. 3.

- **Case:** *Henderson v. Glanz*, 813 F.3d 938 (10th Cir. 2015) (`/f3d/813/0938-01`)
- **1. Outcome (`result`) Direction Check (Checked First):**
  - Civil § 1983 Eighth Amendment failure-to-protect suit by jail inmate against Detention Officers Johnson and Thomas and Sheriff Glanz; defendants take interlocutory appeal from denial of summary judgment on qualified immunity; Tenth Circuit dismisses Johnson's and Glanz's appeals for lack of interlocutory jurisdiction (leaving plaintiff's claims against Johnson and Glanz alive for trial) and reverses the denial of qualified immunity as to Thomas. `result mixed` is **correct**.
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f3d/813/0938-01 36650 36800
  [36651] We therefore dismiss the appeals of DO Johnson and Sheriff Glanz for lack of jurisdiction. We reverse the district court’s denial of qualified immunity to DO Thomas.
  ```
- **2. Role, Scope, Holding, Polarity, Basis, Route Fit & Quote Audit:**
  - `defense qualified-immunity : satisfied [law]` (`party p1` DO Thomas, `route clearly-established-law`) and `element x-interlocutory-jurisdiction : satisfied [law]` (`party p6` DO Thomas, `scope procedural`) are well-supported.
  - **Defect (`recital-as-fact` & incomplete `decider court-below` block):**
    1. In `element deprivation.eighth-amendment : satisfied [triable]` (`decider court-below`, `review none`, `party p4` DO Johnson and Sheriff Glanz, lines 52–59), there is **no `held` quote** (even though the opinion states the district court's holdings at `@22405..22462` and `@25943..26148`), no facts at all regarding Sheriff Glanz's notice of risk, and the sole `fact` line (`fact @22254..22514 [supports] | Ms. Henderson asserted in her summary judgment briefing and asserts on appeal that DO Johnson knew the door to the tub room was unlocked when she left the medical unit hallway. DO Johnson’s argument does not accept as true Ms. Henderson’s version of this fact.`) is a briefing-posture recital borrowed from the appellate-jurisdiction discussion (as Fable notes in `misfit` lines 88 and 93).
    2. In `element x-interlocutory-jurisdiction : not-satisfied [law]` (`scope procedural`, `party p5`, line 66), `fact @26149..26410 [cuts-against] | Instead of accepting these facts as true or viewing the facts in the light most favorable to Ms. Henderson, Defendants argue Sheriff Glanz had no notice of a risk of assault because there had been no documented instances of inmate-on-inmate assault in the Jail.` likewise quotes Defendants' appellate brief argument rather than a fact.
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f3d/813/0938-01 22120 22530
  [22254] Ms. Henderson asserted in her summary judgment briefing and asserts on appeal that DO Johnson knew the door to the tub room was unlocked when she left the medical unit hallway. DO Johnson’s argument does not accept as true Ms. Henderson’s version of this fact. The district court did not make any factual determination about DO Johnson’s knowledge of the door being unlocked, but it did determine that DO Johnson was aware of a substantial risk of harm to Ms. Henderson.

  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f3d/813/0938-01 26140 26420
  [25472] ... Based on these facts, the district court determined that a reasonable jury could find Sheriff Glanz had notice of a risk of assault to inmates and that he was unresponsive to this risk.
  [26149] Instead of accepting these facts as true or viewing the facts in the light most favorable to Ms. Henderson, Defendants argue Sheriff Glanz had no notice of a risk of assault because there had been no documented instances of inmate-on-inmate assault in the Jail.

### 9. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2 (Title VII — Unlawful Employment Practices)

#### FIX — [`42usc2000e-2/us-509-502-st-marys-honor-center-v-hicks.case`](file:///home/mma/repos/neochart-wt-argon2/neov2/cases/42usc2000e-2/us-509-502-st-marys-honor-center-v-hicks.case)
- **Case:** *St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks*, 509 U.S. 502 (1993) (`/us/509/0502-01`)
- **1. Outcome (`result`) Direction Check (Checked First):**
  - Civil Title VII disparate-treatment bench trial for employer; Eighth Circuit reversed and ordered judgment for plaintiff as a matter of law because the district court disbelieved the employer's proffered reasons; Supreme Court reverses the Eighth Circuit and remands. `result remanded` is **correct**.
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /us/509/0502-01 37700 37815
  [37666] The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
  [37795] It is so ordered.
  ```
- **2. Role, Scope, Holding, Polarity, Basis, Route Fit & Quote Audit:**
  - Majority (`@0..43197`) and dissent (`@43198..60000`) spans are cleanly segmented, and the `role rule-announced` blocks on `pretext` and `because-of` accurately capture the holding that disbelief of the employer's proffered reasons permits, but does not compel, a finding of intentional discrimination.
  - **Defect 1 (`recital-as-fact`):** In `element employer-reason : satisfied [conceded]` (line 53), `fact @5786..6065 [supports] | Respondent does not challenge the District Court’s finding that petitioners sustained their burden of production by introducing evidence of two legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for their actions: the severity and the accumulation of rules violations committed by respondent.` quotes the appellate concession of the District Court's Step 2 finding as a `fact` (whereas the parallel Step 1 concession sentence at `@3132..3561`, `"Petitioners do not challenge the District Court's finding..."`, was tagged `held` on line 29, and the actual disciplinary violations are narrated at `@1245..1829`).
  - **Defect 2 (`held-as-fact` / missing `held`):** In `element pretext : not-satisfied [proved]` (`decider trial-judge`, `review none`, lines 71–82), the block has **no `held` line** because line 80 tags the District Court's ultimate conclusion (`@7534..7739`, `"In short, the District Court concluded that 'although [respondent] has proven the existence of a crusade to terminate him, he has not proven that the crusade was racially rather than personally motivated.'"`) as `fact [cuts-against absent]` instead of `held` (or pairing `held @7339..7533` / `@7534..7739` with the underlying facts).
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /us/509/0502-01 5780 6075
  [5786] Respondent does not challenge the District Court’s finding that petitioners sustained their burden of production by introducing evidence of two legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for their actions: the severity and the accumulation of rules violations committed by respondent. 756 F. Supp., at 1250.

  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /us/509/0502-01 7315 7750
  [6786] ... It nonetheless held that respondent had failed to carry his ultimate burden of proving that his race was the determining factor in petitioners’ decision first to demote and then to dismiss him. In short, the District Court concluded that “although [respondent] has proven the existence of a crusade to terminate him, he has not proven that the crusade was racially rather than personally motivated.” Id., at 1252.

- **1. Outcome (`result`) Direction Check (Checked First):**
  - Civil Title VII / Pregnancy Discrimination Act discriminatory-discharge suit by employee; District Court granted summary judgment to employer; Third Circuit reverses and remands for trial. `result remanded` is **correct**.

  [33349] IV. Conclusion
  [33364] Doe has established a prima facie case. Furthermore, she has pointed to sufficient evidence from which a fact-finder could infer that the CARS’ non-discriminatory reason for firing Doe was a pretext. The District Court’s order will be reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
  ```
- **2. Role, Scope, Holding, Polarity, Basis, Route Fit & Quote Audit:**
  - The first-impression statutory holding (`element protected-class : satisfied [law]`, `route sex`, `held @8326..8402 | We now hold that the term "related medical conditions" includes an abortion.`) and the three `element because-of : satisfied [triable]` blocks (`t1` `route comparator`, `t2` `route decision-maker-remark`, `t3` `route temporal-proximity`) are well-structured.
  - **Defect 1 (`recital-as-fact`):** In `element protected-class : satisfied [law]` (line 32), `fact @4676..4762 [supports] | Instead, she argues that she was discharged because she underwent a surgical abortion.` quotes plaintiff's legal theory/contention as a `fact` (while lines 30–31 already quote the facts of the pregnancy termination recommendation and notice to supervisor Kohl).
  - **Defect 2 (`basis-error`):** In `element employer-reason : satisfied [triable]` (line 77), the employer's *McDonnell Douglas* Step 2 burden of production on its own summary-judgment motion is coded with epistemic basis `[triable]`, whereas the Third Circuit holds as a matter of law (`[law]`) that `"Unexcused absence from work is a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for terminating employment."` (`held @29871..29968`).
  - **Defect 3 (`held-as-fact`):** In `element pretext : satisfied [triable]` (line 89), `fact @32278..32512 [supports] | The conversation between Kohl and Babich, in which Kohl remarked that Doe had not taken responsibility for her abortion indicates that Kohl may have had other reasons for terminating Doe’s employment than her “abandonment” of her job.` quotes the Third Circuit's analytical inference about pretext (the underlying fact of that conversation was already quoted at `@22396..22740`).
  ```text
  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f3d/527/0358-01 4650 4770
  [4441] ... Instead, she argues that she was discharged because she underwent a surgical abortion.

  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f3d/527/0358-01 29700 29975
  [29561] ... Specifically, CARS asserts that Doe was fired because neither she nor her husband called to request Friday, August 11th or the week of August 14th off from work. Unexcused absence from work is a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for terminating employment.

  $ python3 neov2/tools/casedsl.py text /f3d/527/0358-01 32270 32520
  [32108] ... The conversation between Kohl and Babich, in which Kohl remarked that Doe had not taken responsibility for her abortion indicates that Kohl may have had other reasons for terminating Doe’s employment than her “abandonment” of her job. These are questions for a jury — not ones that should be resolved on summary judgment.
