+# Codex PRs: Logical Correctness Analysis
+
+**Date**: 2024-11-27  
+**Reviewer**: AI Agent  
+**Scope**: PRs #4, #5, #7 - Logical correctness validation (performance not evaluated)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+All three remaining PRs are **logically sound** and safe to merge. No logical errors, broken invariants, or dangerous assumptions detected. Minor observations noted for future consideration.
+
+**VERDICT**: ✅ **APPROVE ALL THREE** - Merge without concerns about correctness
+
+---
+
+## PR #5: Shared Reward Helper for Metrics
+
+**Branch**: `codex/introduce-shared-reward-helper-for-metrics`  
+**Verdict**: ✅ **LOGICALLY CORRECT**
+
+### What it does
+
+Creates `EpisodeRewardHelper` class to centralize reward computation logic previously duplicated between agent and training environment.
+
+### Correctness Analysis
+
+#### 1. State Tracking ✅
+```python
+_disposed_cases: int = 0
+_hearing_counts: Dict[str, int] = field(default_factory=lambda: defaultdict(int))
+_urgent_latencies: list[float] = field(default_factory=list)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Tracks episode-level metrics incrementally as decisions are made.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper initialization and accumulation.
+
+#### 2. Base Reward Computation ✅
+```python
+def _base_outcome_reward(self, case: Case, was_scheduled: bool, hearing_outcome: str) -> float:
+    reward = 0.0
+    if not was_scheduled:
+        return reward
+    
+    reward += 0.5  # Base scheduling reward
+    
+    lower_outcome = hearing_outcome.lower()
+    if "disposal" in lower_outcome or "judgment" in lower_outcome or "settlement" in lower_outcome:
+        reward += 10.0  # Major positive for disposal
+    elif "progress" in lower_outcome and "adjourn" not in lower_outcome:
+        reward += 3.0  # Progress without disposal
+    elif "adjourn" in lower_outcome:
+        reward -= 3.0  # Negative for adjournment
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Hierarchical string matching with proper elif chain prevents double-counting.
+
+**Issue**: None. "progress" excludes "adjourn" correctly.
+
+#### 3. Episode-Level Components ✅
+```python
+disposal_rate = (self._disposed_cases / self.total_cases) if self.total_cases else 0.0
+reward += self.disposal_weight * disposal_rate
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Safe division with zero check. Rewards scale with system-level disposal rate.
+
+**Issue**: None. Properly guards against division by zero.
+
+#### 4. Gap Scoring ✅
+```python
+if previous_gap_days is not None:
+    gap_score = max(0.0, 1.0 - (previous_gap_days / self.target_gap_days))
+    reward += self.gap_weight * gap_score
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Normalized to [0, 1] range, rewards shorter gaps.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper bounds checking with `max(0.0, ...)`.
+
+#### 5. Fairness Score ✅
+```python
+def _fairness_score(self) -> float:
+    counts: Iterable[int] = self._hearing_counts.values()
+    if not counts:
+        return 0.0
+    
+    counts_array = np.array(list(counts), dtype=float)
+    mean = np.mean(counts_array)
+    if mean == 0:
+        return 0.0
+    
+    dispersion = np.std(counts_array) / (mean + 1e-6)
+    fairness = max(0.0, 1.0 - dispersion)
+    return fairness
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Coefficient of variation (std/mean) as dispersion metric. Lower dispersion = better fairness.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper zero checks and epsilon stabilization.
+
+#### 6. Training Integration ✅
+```python
+# OLD (buggy):
+def _compute_reward(self, case: Case, outcome: str) -> float:
+    agent = TabularQAgent()  # Creates fresh agent instance!
+    return agent.compute_reward(case, was_scheduled=True, hearing_outcome=outcome)
+
+# NEW (correct):
+self.reward_helper = EpisodeRewardHelper(total_cases=len(self.cases))  # Reused per episode
+
+rewards[case.case_id] = self.reward_helper.compute_case_reward(
+    case,
+    was_scheduled=True,
+    hearing_outcome=outcome,
+    current_date=self.current_date,
+    previous_gap_days=previous_gap,
+)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Fixes P1 bug - episode helper reused throughout episode instead of fresh agent per case.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper lifecycle management.
+
+### Correctness Verdict: ✅ PASS
+
+**No logical errors detected.**
+
+---
+
+## PR #4: RL Training Alignment with SchedulingAlgorithm
+
+**Branch**: `codex/modify-training-for-schedulingalgorithm-integration`  
+**Verdict**: ✅ **LOGICALLY CORRECT**
+
+### What it does
+
+Integrates production `SchedulingAlgorithm` into RL training environment to close training-production gap.
+
+### Correctness Analysis
+
+#### 1. Production Components Initialization ✅
+```python
+self.courtrooms = [
+    Courtroom(
+        courtroom_id=i + 1,
+        judge_id=f"J{i+1:03d}",
+        daily_capacity=self.rl_config.daily_capacity_per_courtroom,
+    )
+    for i in range(self.rl_config.courtrooms)
+]
+self.allocator = CourtroomAllocator(
+    num_courtrooms=self.rl_config.courtrooms,
+    per_courtroom_capacity=self.rl_config.daily_capacity_per_courtroom,
+    strategy=AllocationStrategy.LOAD_BALANCED,
+)
+self.algorithm = SchedulingAlgorithm(
+    policy=self.policy,
+    allocator=self.allocator,
+    min_gap_days=self.policy_config.min_gap_days if self.rl_config.enforce_min_gap else 0,
+)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Mirrors production initialization with configurable parameters.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper conditional logic for `min_gap_days`.
+
+#### 2. Agent Decisions → Priority Overrides ✅
+```python
+overrides: List[Override] = []
+priority_boost = 1.0
+for case in self.cases:
+    if agent_decisions.get(case.case_id) == 1:
+        overrides.append(
+            Override(
+                override_id=f"rl-{case.case_id}-{self.current_date.isoformat()}",
+                override_type=OverrideType.PRIORITY,
+                case_id=case.case_id,
+                judge_id="RL-JUDGE",
+                timestamp=self.current_date,
+                new_priority=case.get_priority_score() + priority_boost,
+            )
+        )
+        priority_boost += 0.1  # keep relative ordering stable
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Converts agent binary decisions (0/1) into priority overrides.
+
+**Observation**: Incremental priority boost preserves agent's relative ordering if multiple cases selected.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper override construction.
+
+#### 3. Scheduling Algorithm Invocation ✅
+```python
+result = self.algorithm.schedule_day(
+    cases=self.cases,
+    courtrooms=self.courtrooms,
+    current_date=self.current_date,
+    overrides=overrides or None,
+    preferences=self.preferences,
+)
+
+scheduled_cases = [c for cases in result.scheduled_cases.values() for c in cases]
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Uses production algorithm with agent's overrides. Flattens scheduled cases across courtrooms.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper dict traversal.
+
+#### 4. Capacity Enforcement ✅
+```python
+daily_cap = config.max_daily_allocations or total_capacity
+if not config.cap_daily_allocations:
+    daily_cap = len(eligible_cases)
+remaining_slots = min(daily_cap, total_capacity) if config.cap_daily_allocations else daily_cap
+
+for case in eligible_cases[:daily_cap]:
+    # ... get state and action
+    
+    if config.cap_daily_allocations and action == 1 and remaining_slots <= 0:
+        action = 0  # Override agent decision if capacity exhausted
+    elif action == 1 and config.cap_daily_allocations:
+        remaining_slots = max(0, remaining_slots - 1)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Enforces daily capacity limits. Overrides agent decisions if capacity exhausted.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper decrement and zero check.
+
+#### 5. State Space Expansion ✅
+```python
+# OLD: 6-dimensional state
+def to_tuple(self) -> Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int]:
+    return (
+        self.stage_encoded,
+        min(9, int(self.age_days * 20)),
+        min(9, int(self.days_since_last * 20)),
+        self.urgency,
+        self.ripe,
+        min(9, int(self.hearing_count * 20))
+    )
+
+# NEW: 9-dimensional state
+def to_tuple(self) -> Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int]:
+    return (
+        self.stage_encoded,
+        min(9, int(self.age_days * 20)),
+        min(9, int(self.days_since_last * 20)),
+        self.urgency,
+        self.ripe,
+        min(9, int(self.hearing_count * 20)),
+        min(9, int(self.capacity_ratio * 10)),    # NEW: remaining capacity
+        min(30, self.min_gap_days),                # NEW: gap enforcement
+        min(9, int(self.preference_score * 10))    # NEW: judge preference alignment
+    )
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Adds environment context to state representation. Proper discretization and bounds.
+
+**Observation**: State space grows from ~10^6 to ~10^9 states (3 orders of magnitude). Q-table may become sparse.
+
+**Issue**: None logically. Performance implications exist but correctness is sound.
+
+#### 6. Capacity Ratio Helper ✅
+```python
+def capacity_ratio(self, remaining_slots: int) -> float:
+    total_capacity = self.rl_config.courtrooms * self.rl_config.daily_capacity_per_courtroom
+    return max(0.0, min(1.0, remaining_slots / total_capacity)) if total_capacity else 0.0
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Safe division with zero check. Normalized to [0, 1].
+
+**Issue**: None.
+
+#### 7. Preference Score Helper ✅
+```python
+def preference_score(self, case: Case) -> float:
+    if not self.preferences:
+        return 0.0
+    
+    day_name = self.current_date.strftime("%A")
+    preferred_types = self.preferences.case_type_preferences.get(day_name, [])
+    return 1.0 if case.case_type in preferred_types else 0.0
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Binary preference signal (1.0 if aligned, 0.0 otherwise).
+
+**Issue**: None.
+
+### Correctness Verdict: ✅ PASS
+
+**No logical errors detected.** State space expansion is intentional and correctly implemented.
+
+---
+
+## PR #7: Output Manager Metadata Tracking
+
+**Branch**: `codex/extend-output-manager-for-eda-recording`  
+**Verdict**: ✅ **LOGICALLY CORRECT**
+
+### What it does
+
+Adds metadata recording to `OutputManager` for EDA versioning, training KPIs, evaluation stats, and simulation metrics.
+
+### Correctness Analysis
+
+#### 1. Run Record Initialization ✅
+```python
+def create_structure(self):
+    # ... create directories
+    
+    if not self.run_record_file.exists():
+        self._update_run_record("run", {
+            "run_id": self.run_id,
+            "created_at": self.created_at,
+            "base_dir": str(self.run_dir),
+        })
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Initializes run record on first directory creation.
+
+**Issue**: None. Idempotent check with `exists()`.
+
+#### 2. Run Record Update Helper ✅
+```python
+def _update_run_record(self, section: str, payload: Dict[str, Any]):
+    record = self._load_run_record()
+    record.setdefault("sections", {})
+    record["sections"][section] = payload
+    record["updated_at"] = datetime.now().isoformat()
+    
+    with open(self.run_record_file, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+        json.dump(record, f, indent=2, default=str)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Atomic section updates with timestamp tracking. UTF-8 encoding for Windows compatibility.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper dictionary mutation pattern.
+
+#### 3. EDA Metadata Recording ✅
+```python
+def record_eda_metadata(self, version: str, used_cached: bool, params_path: Path, figures_path: Path):
+    payload = {
+        "version": version,
+        "timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
+        "used_cached": used_cached,
+        "params_path": str(params_path),
+        "figures_path": str(figures_path),
+    }
+    
+    self._update_run_record("eda", payload)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Tracks EDA version and cache usage for reproducibility.
+
+**Issue**: None. Clean separation of concerns.
+
+#### 4. Training Stats Persistence ✅
+```python
+def save_training_stats(self, training_stats: Dict[str, Any]):
+    self.training_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
+    with open(self.training_stats_file, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+        json.dump(training_stats, f, indent=2, default=str)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Saves raw training statistics to dedicated file.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper directory creation.
+
+#### 5. Evaluation Stats Persistence ✅
+```python
+def save_evaluation_stats(self, evaluation_stats: Dict[str, Any]):
+    eval_path = self.training_dir / "evaluation.json"
+    with open(eval_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+        json.dump(evaluation_stats, f, indent=2, default=str)
+    
+    self._update_run_record("evaluation", {
+        "path": str(eval_path),
+        "timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
+    })
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Persists evaluation metrics and updates run record.
+
+**Issue**: None. Consistent pattern.
+
+#### 6. Simulation KPI Recording ✅
+```python
+def record_simulation_kpis(self, policy: str, kpis: Dict[str, Any]):
+    policy_dir = self.get_policy_dir(policy)
+    metrics_path = policy_dir / "metrics.json"
+    with open(metrics_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+        json.dump(kpis, f, indent=2, default=str)
+    
+    record = self._load_run_record()
+    simulation_section = record.get("simulation", {})
+    simulation_section[policy] = kpis
+    record["simulation"] = simulation_section
+    record["updated_at"] = datetime.now().isoformat()
+    
+    with open(self.run_record_file, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+        json.dump(record, f, indent=2, default=str)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Per-policy metrics storage with consolidated run record tracking.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper nested dictionary updates.
+
+#### 7. Integration in Pipeline ✅
+
+**EDA Recording**:
+```python
+self.output.record_eda_metadata(
+    version=eda_config.VERSION,
+    used_cached=True,
+    params_path=self.output.eda_params,
+    figures_path=self.output.eda_figures,
+)
+```
+
+**Training Recording**:
+```python
+self.output.save_training_stats(training_stats)
+self.output.save_evaluation_stats(evaluation_stats)
+self.output.record_training_summary(training_summary, evaluation_stats)
+```
+
+**Simulation Recording**:
+```python
+kpis = {
+    "policy": policy,
+    "disposals": result.disposals,
+    "disposal_rate": result.disposals / len(policy_cases),
+    # ... other metrics
+}
+self.output.record_simulation_kpis(policy, kpis)
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Proper integration at each pipeline stage. Captures metadata at point of generation.
+
+**Issue**: None. Clean separation of concerns.
+
+#### 8. Error Handling ✅
+```python
+try:
+    evaluation_stats = evaluate_agent(...)
+    self.output.save_evaluation_stats(evaluation_stats)
+except Exception as eval_err:
+    console.print(f"  [yellow]WARNING[/yellow] Evaluation skipped: {eval_err}")
+```
+
+**Logic**: Sound. Graceful degradation if evaluation fails. Warning instead of crash.
+
+**Issue**: None. Proper exception handling.
+
+### Correctness Verdict: ✅ PASS
+
+**No logical errors detected.** All metadata recording is additive and safe.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-PR Compatibility Analysis
+
+### PR #4 + PR #5 Interaction ✅
+
+**Scenario**: Both modify `rl/training.py`
+
+**Conflict**: PR #4 adds capacity/preference context to state extraction. PR #5 replaces reward computation with helper.
+
+**Resolution**: Compatible. Different concerns - state representation vs reward computation.
+
+**Merge Strategy**: Either order works. No logical dependency.
+
+### PR #7 Integration ✅
+
+**Scenario**: PR #7 adds metadata tracking to `OutputManager` and `court_scheduler_rl.py`
+
+**Conflict**: None. Purely additive changes.
+
+**Resolution**: Independent of PR #4 and #5. Can merge in any order.
+
+---
+
+## Final Recommendation
+
+### All Three PRs: ✅ APPROVE
+
+**Logical Correctness**: All three PRs are logically sound with no errors, broken invariants, or dangerous assumptions.
+
+**Merge Order** (any order works, but suggested sequence):
+
+1. **PR #5** (Shared reward logic) - Low complexity, fixes P1 bug
+2. **PR #4** (RL training alignment) - High complexity, but logically correct
+3. **PR #7** (Output metadata) - Pure additive, no conflicts
+
+**No blockers for merge based on logical correctness alone.**
+
+### Post-Merge Validation
+
+After merging all three, run:
+
+```bash
+uv run python court_scheduler_rl.py quick
+```
+
+Expected: Pipeline completes without exceptions. RL agent trains successfully.
+
+---

-**What it does**:
-1. Creates `EpisodeRewardHelper` class
-2. Shapes rewards using episode-level metrics (disposal rate, fairness, gaps)
-3. Removes agent re-instantiation in environment
-4. Tracks hearing gaps for better reward signals
-
-**Assessment**:
-- ✅ Addresses: Reward computation inconsistency (P1 issue)
-- ✅ Shared: Same logic in training and environment
-- ⚠️ Episode-level: May dilute per-step learning signal
-- ⚠️ Complexity: More sophisticated reward shaping
-
-**Risks**:
-- MEDIUM: Different reward structure may require retraining

-- ✅ UX: Clear error messages and automatic fallback
-- ✅ Safe: Bundled defaults allow immediate use
-- ⚠️ Missing: Actual default parameter files
-
-**Risks**:
-- LOW: Need to verify bundled defaults are reasonable
-- Need to test auto-EDA trigger
-
-**Recommendation**: **MERGE** after verifying:
-1. Bundled defaults exist and are reasonable
-2. Auto-EDA trigger works correctly
-3. Error messages are helpful

-### ⚠️ PR #7: Add auditing metadata to RL scheduler outputs
-**Branch**: `codex/extend-output-manager-for-eda-recording`
-**Status**: NICE TO HAVE
-**Impact**: Adds metadata tracking (low priority)
-
-**What it does**:
-1. Captures EDA version and timestamps in OutputManager
-2. Persists RL training/evaluation/simulation KPIs
-3. Initializes structured run metadata for dashboard ingestion
-
-**Assessment**:
-- ✅ Useful: Better auditability and dashboards
-- ✅ Safe: Additive changes only
-- ⚠️ Low priority: Not critical for hackathon
-
-**Risks**:
-- NONE: Purely additive
-
-**Recommendation**: **MERGE LAST** (after #1-6 validated)
-
----
-
-## Merge Strategy
-
-### Phase 1: Safe Merges (No Testing Required)
-1. **Merge PR #1** (documentation)
-2. **Merge PR #6** (parameter fallback) - Test: `uv run python court_scheduler_rl.py quick`
-
-### Phase 2: Critical Bug Fixes (Requires Testing)
-3. **Merge PR #2** (override cleanup)
-4. **Merge PR #3** (ripeness UNKNOWN)
-5. **Test full pipeline**: Verify no regressions
-
-### Phase 3: RL Refactors (Requires Benchmarking)
-6. **Merge PR #5** (shared rewards) - Benchmark: Training time, convergence
-7. **Merge PR #4** (RL-scheduler integration) - Benchmark: State space, performance
-8. **Retrain agent**: New training run with updated environment
-
-### Phase 4: Nice to Have
-9. **Merge PR #7** (output metadata)
-
----
-
-## Testing Checklist
-
-After each merge:
-- [ ] Code compiles: `python -m compileall .`
-- [ ] Quick pipeline runs: `uv run python court_scheduler_rl.py quick`
-- [ ] Full pipeline runs: `uv run python court_scheduler_rl.py interactive`
-
-After PR #2-3:
-- [ ] Overrides don't leak between runs
-- [ ] UNKNOWN cases filtered correctly
-- [ ] Metrics show ripeness distribution
-
-After PR #4-5:
-- [ ] RL agent trains successfully
-- [ ] Training time acceptable (<2x old time)
-- [ ] Agent disposal rate improves over episodes
-- [ ] Final policy comparable or better

-## Risk Summary
-
-**HIGH RISK**: None
-**MEDIUM RISK**: PR #4 (RL training refactor - state space explosion risk)
-**LOW RISK**: PR #2, #3, #5, #6, #7
-
-**BLOCKERS**: None identified
-
----
-
-## Final Recommendation
-
-**PROCEED WITH MERGE** in phases:
-
-1. **Immediate**: #1 (docs), #6 (params)
-2. **After light testing**: #2 (overrides), #3 (ripeness)  
-3. **After benchmarking**: #5 (rewards), #4 (RL integration)
-4. **After validation**: #7 (metadata)
-
-**Estimated merge time**: 2-4 hours with proper testing
-
-**Overall assessment**: Codex did excellent work. All PRs address real issues from our enhancement plan. Code quality is high. Main risk is RL refactors may need tuning.

-# Output Directory Refactoring - Implementation Status
-
-## Completed
-
-### 1. Created `OutputManager` class
-- **File**: `scheduler/utils/output_manager.py`
-- **Features**:
-  - Single run directory with timestamp-based ID
-  - Clean hierarchy: `eda/` `training/` `simulation/` `reports/`
-  - Property-based access to all output paths
-  - Config saved to run root for reproducibility
-
-### 2. Integrated into Pipeline
-- **File**: `court_scheduler_rl.py`
-- **Changes**:
-  - `PipelineConfig` no longer has `output_dir` field
-  - `InteractivePipeline` uses `OutputManager` instance
-  - All `self.output_dir` references replaced with `self.output.{property}`
-  - Pipeline compiles successfully
-
-## Completed Tasks
-
-### 1. Remove Duplicate Model Saving (DONE)
-- Removed duplicate model save in court_scheduler_rl.py
-- Implemented `OutputManager.create_model_symlink()` method
-- Model saved once to `outputs/runs/{run_id}/training/agent.pkl`
-- Symlink created at `models/latest.pkl`
-
-### 2. Update EDA Output Paths (DONE)
-- Modified `src/eda_config.py` with:
-  - `set_output_paths()` function to configure from OutputManager
-  - Private getter functions (`_get_run_dir()`, `_get_params_dir()`, etc.)
-  - Fallback to legacy paths when running standalone
-- Updated all EDA modules (eda_load_clean.py, eda_exploration.py, eda_parameters.py)
-- Pipeline calls `set_output_paths()` before running EDA steps
-- EDA outputs now write to `outputs/runs/{run_id}/eda/`
-
-### 3. Fix Import Errors (DONE)
-- Fixed syntax errors in EDA imports (removed parentheses from function names)
-- All modules compile without errors
-
-### 4. Test End-to-End (DONE)
-```bash
-uv run python court_scheduler_rl.py quick
-```
-
-**Status**: SUCCESS (Exit code: 0)
-- All outputs in `outputs/runs/run_20251126_055943/`
-- No scattered files
-- Models symlinked correctly at `models/latest.pkl`
-- Pipeline runs without errors
-- Clean directory structure verified with `tree` command
-
-## New Directory Structure

-## Benefits Achieved
-
-1. **Single source of truth**: All run artifacts in one directory
-2. **Reproducibility**: Config saved with outputs
-3. **No duplication**: Files written once, not copied
-4. **Clear hierarchy**: Logical organization by pipeline phase
-5. **Easy cleanup**: Delete entire run directory
-6. **Version control**: Run IDs sortable by timestamp
