| """cev L_plan Planner — design-time LLM that emits a validation_intent_battery. |
| |
| Spec: docs/build/B5_planner.md + docs/REBUILD_DESIGN.md §2 (decision A, iron-rules |
| 1/2/3, §2.6 layering). Frozen contract: cev/schemas/validation_intent_battery.schema.json. |
| |
| Core principles carried over from validation_agent/core/planner.py, RESHAPED so the |
| output is *validation intents only* — no tool_id / no params / no data_construction: |
| - dataset-endogenous (iron-rule 1): plan only what feasibility + DataInventory support; |
| - the LLM is the decider, ZERO rules (D2): deterministic code only assembles the prompt |
| and validates output SHAPE — it never authors intents; |
| - intents carry no tool / lib / params / data_construction (iron-rule 2); |
| - no silent truncation (D7): everything unsupportable goes to not_planned + reason_code. |
| |
| This module is intentionally LIGHT: it consumes already-built dicts (edge / paper_context / |
| feasibility / data_inventory / constraints) + an injected LLM provider, so it imports no |
| pandas/pyarrow and is unit-testable with a fake provider. Heavy upstream loading lives in |
| cev/cli.py. HPP runtime never runs this (design-time LLM only; hpp_llm_forbidden guard). |

| # DATASET-ENDOGENOUS (binding — iron-rule 1) |
| You are given `feasibility` (per-edge runnability + inferred equation/estimator + role |
| mappings) and `data_inventory` (measured fields, dtypes, cross-table joinability, subgroup |
| availability, n). Plan ONLY within them — never your imagination. |
| - An equation / estimator marked not runnable (e.g. instrumental-variable / MR with no |
| genetic instrument): do NOT emit a runnable intent for it → not_planned |
| (reason_code=equation_not_runnable). EXCEPTION — longitudinal: when |
| `feasibility.longitudinal.status == "ok"`, a within-subject change / longitudinal |
| dose_response IS runnable (estimator `feasibility.longitudinal.candidate_estimator`, |
| e.g. e3_change / e3_lmm over `feasibility.longitudinal.timepoints`) — PLAN it (T5), |
| do NOT mark equation_not_runnable. |
| - A subgroup dimension absent in data_inventory: no subgroup_cate for it → not_planned |
| (no_subgroup_support). |
| - No mediator mapped (edge M empty): no mediation_nie_nde → not_planned (no_mediator_mapped). |
| - X or Y with mapping status "missing": no runnable intent on that role → not_planned |
| (x_not_mapped / y_not_mapped). |
| - dose_response: a continuous-X shape is valid cross-sectionally; do NOT reflexively skip |
| it. `data_inventory[].timepoints` lists the distinct research_stage values on each role |
| table — when the X role reports ≥2 timepoints, multi-timepoint X IS available, so PLAN the |
| longitudinal / within-subject change dose_response (T5). Reserve not_planned |
| (single_timepoint_no_dose) ONLY when the X role table has <2 timepoints. |
| - Any role resolving to an EXCLUDED, non-physiological source (medications / dietary / |
| behavioral or self-reported): never plan it → not_planned (excluded_physiological_only). |
| |
| # SUBGROUPS ARE DATA-DRIVEN, NOT A FIXED CATALOG |
| `data_inventory.subgroup_candidates` lists EVERY field across the cohort's tables that can |
| form ≥2 viable strata (with stratum sizes) — discovered generically from the data, NOT a |
| preset list. Propose subgroup_cate for ANY candidate that is a clinically plausible effect |
| modifier of THIS X→Y relationship (e.g. menopausal status for a sex-linked or hormonal |
| outcome, body-composition / adiposity strata, comorbidity or disease-severity status), |
| reasoning from clinical knowledge. The legacy `subgroup_availability` (D01–D09) is only a |
| small subset — do NOT limit yourself to it. Skip a candidate only when it is clinically |
| implausible as a modifier, or is the exposure/outcome itself. |
| |
| # COMPREHENSIVENESS — attempt everything the mechanism warrants + label every gap |
| Cover the tier battery the data supports: |
| T1 main_effect (primary X→Y). |
| T2 standard subgroups (subgroup_cate per supported effect-modifier; interaction-LRT intent). |
| T3 paper-named subgroups (from the study cohort / paper text). |
| T4 sensitivity (adjustment-set / robustness variants the data supports). |
| T5 dose_response (continuous-X shape; AND when feasibility.longitudinal.status=="ok", |
| the within-subject change / longitudinal dose_response over timepoints — plan it). |
| T6 alt_estimator (same X→Y under a different estimator family). |
| T7 negative_control + bidirectional (reverse Y→X) sanity checks. |
| Cross-cutting (not tier-bound): mediation_nie_nde (needs m), correlation (association probe). |
| "Comprehensive" = attempt everything warranted AND record what the data cannot support in |
| not_planned — Nature-Medicine level is the target ceiling, not a per-edge guarantee. |
| |
| # PHYSIOLOGICAL-ONLY |
| Consume only objective physiological indicators + demographics; never plan an intent whose |
| role resolves to an excluded source. |
