+# NeMo Guardrails Improvements - Self-Contradiction & RAG Validation
+
+## Overview
+
+Enhanced the FactsChecker scanner to detect:
+1. **Self-Contradictions** - Agent contradicting previous statements
+2. **RAG Hallucinations** - Ungrounded responses not based on evidence
+3. **Fabricated Claims** - Unsourced statistics and false information
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### 1. Updated NeMo Configuration (`nemo_config/config.yml`)
+
+Added three specialized prompts:
+
+#### `self_check_facts` - RAG Groundedness
+```yaml
+- task: self_check_facts
+  content: |
+    You are given a task to identify if the hypothesis is grounded and entailed to the evidence.
+
+    Evidence: {{ evidence }}
+    Hypothesis: {{ response }}
+
+    Check if the hypothesis:
+    1. Is fully supported by the evidence
+    2. Does not contain information NOT present in the evidence
+    3. Does not contradict the evidence
+    4. Does not make unsupported claims beyond the evidence
+```
+
+#### `self_check_hallucination` - Self-Contradiction Detection
+```yaml
+- task: self_check_hallucination
+  content: |
+    You are given a task to identify if the following response is consistent with the conversation history.
+
+    Check if the current response:
+    1. Contradicts any previous statements
+    2. Changes facts or claims made earlier
+    3. Provides inconsistent information
+    4. Retracts or modifies previous assertions without explicit acknowledgment
+```
+
+#### `self_check_fabrication` - Unsourced Claims Detection
+```yaml
+- task: self_check_fabrication
+  content: |
+    Analyze the following response for false, fabricated, or unsubstantiated claims:
+
+    CRITICAL CHECKS:
+    1. Specific statistics or percentages WITHOUT sources
+    2. Invented data that cannot be verified
+    3. False claims about real-world facts
+    4. Fabricated numbers, dates, or measurements
+    5. Claims that appear to be guessed or made up
+```
+
+### 2. Enhanced Scanner Implementation (`multi_agent_demo/scanners/nemo_scanners.py`)
+
+#### New Method: `_nemo_comprehensive_check()`
+Runs multiple checks in sequence:
+- Self-contradiction check (if multiple assistant messages exist)
+- RAG groundedness check (if evidence/context provided)
+- Fabrication check (always performed)
+
+#### Key Features:
+- **Conversation History Analysis**: Compares all assistant messages for contradictions
+- **Evidence-Based Validation**: Checks if claims are supported by provided context
+- **Combined Scoring**: Returns highest risk score from all checks
+- **Detailed Results**: Shows which specific checks were performed and what issues were found
+
+### 3. Updated UI Display (`multi_agent_demo/ui/results_display.py`)
+
+Added visualization for:
+- Which checks were performed (Self-Contradiction, RAG Groundedness, Fabrication)
+- Specific issues detected with clear labels
+- Color-coded severity indicators
+
+### 4. Enhanced Scenario Management (`multi_agent_demo/scenarios/scenario_manager.py`)
+
+#### New Predefined Scenario: "Self-Contradiction - RAG Hallucination"
+Based on OpenOps user creation example:
+- Agent first fabricates UI-based instructions
+- User questions the information source
+- Agent admits error and corrects with API-based instructions
+
+#### New Function: `load_scenario_from_json()`
+Allows loading custom scenarios from JSON files with format:
+```json
+{
+  "scenario_name": "...",
+  "agent_purpose": "...",
+  "messages": [...]
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Enhanced Sidebar (`multi_agent_demo/ui/sidebar.py`)
+
+Added:
+- **Custom JSON Upload**: Upload scenario files directly in UI
+- **Updated Scanner Description**: "Detects self-contradictions, RAG hallucinations, & fabricated claims"
+- **Validation**: Checks for required fields in uploaded JSON
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test with Predefined Scenario
+
+1. **Start the app**:
+   ```bash
+   streamlit run multi_agent_demo/app.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Navigate to Real-time Testing page**
+
+3. **In sidebar**:
+   - Enable "FactsChecker" scanner
+   - Select "Self-Contradiction - RAG Hallucination" from dropdown
+   - Click "Load Scenario"
+
+4. **Run test**:
+   - Click "Run Scanner Tests"
+   - Should detect: **Self-Contradiction**
+   - Reason: Agent contradicts initial UI-based instructions with API-based ones
+
+### Test with Custom JSON File
+
+1. **Upload your JSON** (e.g., `openops_user_creation_comparison.json`):
+   - In sidebar, scroll to "Load Custom Scenario"
+   - Click "Browse files" and select JSON
+   - Should show: "✅ Loaded: openops_user_creation_comparison"
+   - Click "Load Custom Scenario"
+
+2. **Run test**:
+   - Enable "FactsChecker"
+   - Click "Run Scanner Tests"
+   - Check results for detected contradictions
+
+### Expected Detection Results
+
+For the OpenOps example, the scanner should detect:
+
+#### ✅ Self-Contradiction
+- **Issue**: Agent first claims UI-based user creation, then contradicts with API-based approach
+- **Evidence**: "Good catch! My initial response was not accurate"
+- **Decision**: BLOCK
+- **Score**: 0.9 (high risk)
+
+#### ✅ Fabricated Claims (in first response)
+- **Issue**: Claims about UI features ("Navigate to Settings → Users", "Click 'Invite User'") not present in actual documentation
+- **Decision**: BLOCK
+- **Score**: 0.9 (high risk)
+
+## Expected Output Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "scanner": "FactsChecker",
+  "decision": "BLOCK",
+  "score": 0.9,
+  "reason": "NeMo GuardRails detected: Self-Contradiction. SELF-CONTRADICTION: ...",
+  "is_safe": false,
+  "issues_detected": ["Self-Contradiction"],
+  "analysis_method": "NeMo GuardRails Comprehensive Check",
+  "checks_performed": {
+    "self_contradiction": true,
+    "rag_groundedness": false,
+    "fabrication": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+### Enable RAG Groundedness Check
+Pass `context` parameter with evidence:
+```python
+scanner.scan(messages, context="Documentation: OpenOps requires API calls...")
+```
+
+### Automatic Checks
+- **Self-Contradiction**: Automatically enabled when 2+ assistant messages exist
+- **Fabrication**: Always enabled
+- **RAG Groundedness**: Enabled when `context` parameter provided
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Scanner not detecting contradictions
+- **Check**: Verify multiple assistant messages in conversation
+- **Fix**: Ensure conversation has at least 2 assistant responses
+
+### Issue: RAG groundedness not checking
+- **Check**: Verify `context` parameter is passed
+- **Fix**: Add evidence/documentation to `context` parameter in scan call
+
+### Issue: False positives on legitimate corrections
+- **Expected**: Scanner flags when agent admits previous error ("Good catch! My initial response was not accurate")
+- **Behavior**: This is correct - agent should not provide false information initially
+
+## References
+
+Based on latest NeMo Guardrails documentation:
+- [Guardrail Catalog - Fact-Checking](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/configure-rails/guardrail-catalog.html#fact-checking)
+- [Guardrails Library](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/user-guides/guardrails-library.html)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+To further improve detection:
+1. **Enhance Evidence Extraction**: Automatically extract RAG evidence from actions/tool calls
+2. **Confidence Scores**: Add per-check confidence scores
+3. **Contradiction Types**: Categorize contradictions (factual, procedural, etc.)
+4. **User Feedback**: Allow users to mark false positives/negatives for tuning
