Group headings: an eligibility question, not an extraction one
A group heading is out of scope because the citable unit is a paragraph and a heading has none, not because it is an index label.
- Problem
- Deciding what a source-citation model may cite when a candidate unit, such as a group heading, carries a value but has no citable paragraph.
- Approach
- Pushed back on the answer that headings are out of scope as index labels; the narrower reason held: the citable unit is a paragraph, a heading has none, and a citation without a passageAnchor proves nothing.
- Outcome
- solved
- Conditions
- The Siyar pipeline cites at paragraph granularity; PassageKind shows that choice is still open.
- Evidence
- PassageKind (the paragraph-granularity choice)
- Implication
- Teach design consequences that were never decided outright, since the heading case falls out of the paragraph-granularity choice and not from a rule about headings.
Pushed back correctly on an agent's answer that the Siyar's group headings
(شهداء بدر, السابقون الأولون) are out of scope for being index labels — they do
carry a model value, namely martyrdom at a battle. The right reason they are
excluded is narrower: the citable unit is a paragraph, a heading has none, and a
citation without a passageAnchor proves nothing. Prior knowledge established:
already reads the pipeline at the level of what a claim is allowed to assert,
so lessons can start at the seams rather than at the artifact list.
Implications: teach design consequences that were never decided outright.
The heading case is one — it falls out of the paragraph-granularity choice
rather than from any rule about headings, and PassageKind shows the choice is
still open. That asymmetry is the recurring lesson shape for this mission.
