Conversation
…l claim `isLikelyTool()` accepted any short lowercase fragment by default, so an ordinary "using" sentence was asserted as a technology name and `assertFacts()` blocked the render of a document that claimed nothing false. career-ops-hq#3643 added a shape test and a source-backed exemption, but both only add accept paths, which left `TOOL_PROSE_WORDS` as the only thing standing between ordinary prose and a tool claim: a list holding the words that happened to appear in career-ops-hq#3639. Drop a fragment whose every word already occurs in the source. That is the document's own vocabulary reworded, which is exactly what tailoring does to a "using" sentence. A name the source never mentions is untouched, so a lowercase fabrication still blocks. Widen the existing leading-article drop to the rest of the determiner class, so "using that campaign" is not read as a product name whatever the source happens to contain. Closes career-ops-hq#4004

Test-axis only. The substance is in verify-cv-facts.mjs (core, source-of-truth tooling), the maintainer's call; I am reviewing the owned test tests/nonmetric-fact-gate.test.mjs.
It is sound and pins both directions. The test imports the real factClaims, verifyFacts, and delegatedAuthorshipClaims, writes a realistic multi-line cv.md to disk, and calls verifyFacts through the same gate the render path uses, not a hand-rolled matcher. The fix (negative direction): three documents whose phrasing is reworded from the source's own vocabulary now pass instead of being blocked as phantom tool claims, which is exactly the self-corroboration bug, an ordinary "using" sentence rebuilt from the CV's own words being asserted as a technology name. The still-flags direction is pinned too: a lowercase name absent from the source still blocks, a fabricated Title-Cased tool still blocks, and declarations still extract, so the fix is a narrow source-vocabulary drop, not a neutering. I mutation-checked it: reverting the core line so a CV's own rewording can once again corroborate the claim reddens the three reworded-prose cases (42 pass to 39 pass / 3 fail via the real harness) while the absent-name guard stays green.
Owned test sound, not behind. SIGNAL (verify-cv-facts core), so not surfacing as ready-to-approve; routing and merge are the maintainer's.
…carries it The determiner test ran on the whole capture before the split, so a determiner anywhere in a list discarded the list: "React and our playbook" lost React, and an unsupported "kubernetes" in that position stopped being blocked at all. That is a fail-closed hole, and the narrow version of it predates career-ops-hq#4004, where the test was `/^the\s+/`. Filter each fragment after the split instead. A determiner immediately after the trigger still drops the clause: that is what marks the trigger as ordinary English rather than a tool list, and the existing "worked with the team in London" guard depends on it. Filtering only per fragment, without that case, makes the gate emit London as a tool.

…is determiner-led "Technologies:" and "tech stack:" declare a list whatever follows them, so "Technologies: our stack and React" lost React, and an unsupported "kubernetes" in the same list stopped being blocked. The whole-clause drop exists for the prose triggers only, where a determiner straight after "using" or "worked with" marks the trigger as ordinary English and the clause as prose. Scope it to those, and let a declared list fall through to the per-fragment filter.

The determiner pattern required trailing whitespace, so it only ever matched a determiner leading a longer fragment. Two paths leave one standing alone: the `for` lookahead ends the capture at "using that for the migration", and the split can leave a bare "that" beside a real name. Neither is in TOOL_PROSE_WORDS, so both were emitted as tools. Anchor the alternation to whitespace or end of fragment.

Re-verified after the head moved. This is not a pure rebase: both the owned test and verify-cv-facts.mjs changed, carrying three new commits that refine the determiner-drop logic behind this fix (scoping the drop to the fragment that carries the determiner rather than the whole clause, keeping a declared Technologies list even when one entry is determiner-led, and treating a determiner standing alone as prose).
The owned test still drives the real path (importing the real factClaims, verifyFacts, delegatedAuthorshipClaims) and both directions hold: reworded, reassembled, and gerund prose built from the source's own words pass, while a lowercase name absent from the source still blocks and an unsupported name beside a determiner-led fragment is still claimed. It passes 47 of 47 via the real harness. I re-ran the mutation gauntlet on the new commits: reverting the head commit's regex anchor reddens the bare-determiner case, and reverting the per-fragment filter back to a whole-clause drop reddens three, including the fail-closed case where a determiner-led sibling must not suppress a claim that should block.

What does this PR do?
isLikelyTool()accepted any short lowercase fragment by default, so ordinary "using" prose was asserted as a technology name andassertFacts()blocked the render of a CV that claimed nothing false. A fragment whose every word already occurs in the source is now dropped as the document's own vocabulary reworded, and the existing leading-article drop is widened to the rest of the determiner class.Related issue
Closes #4004
Approach
#3643 added
looksToolShaped()and the source-backed exemption. Both only add accept paths, so nothing rejected a fragment the function could not recognise andTOOL_PROSE_WORDSwas left as the only thing between ordinary prose and a tool claim. That list holds the words that happened to appear in #3639, so any other word reopened the class:pipeline coverage,digital solutions,consultative selling,that campaign.Two changes, neither of which adds a list anybody has to maintain:
Source vocabulary is not a technology name. A fragment that is neither tool-shaped nor an exact source match, but whose every word already occurs in the source, is the document's own wording rearranged.
pdfmode rewords "using" sentences by design, so this is the common case, not an edge one. It uses evidence the function already receives (sourceNormalized), not a lexicon.Determiners are a closed grammatical class. The extractor already dropped a capture beginning "the"; it now drops the rest of the determiners as well, which removes "that campaign" and "our playbook" on grammar alone, with no dependency on what the source happens to contain.
TOOL_PROSE_WORDSstays as the fallback for callers that pass no source, so the #3639 cases keep their coverage there.What still blocks, deliberately
using kubernetes, so the fail-closed behaviour fix(verify-cv-facts): stop flagging ordinary prose as tool claims #3643 was protecting is intact.looksToolShaped()accepts as a claim before any of this runs.factClaims(text)with no source is unchanged: with nothing to compare against there is no evidence to reason from.verifyFacts()andassertFacts()always pass a source, so the gate itself is fixed while direct library callers keep the old behaviour.Known limit
A reworded phrase that introduces a word the CV never uses is still extracted, and still blocks. That is the gate speaking up about vocabulary the source does not support, which is the direction it should fail in, but it means this narrows the class rather than closing it completely.
