fix: remove 'core tension' template lock from field description - #358
Merged
Conversation
…rompt The phrase "name the core tension" in the review_lever field description and section 4 header caused ~100% "The tension is between X and Y" opener lock across all plans for llama3.1 and haiku. Replace with content-goal language: "identify the primary trade-off... then state the specific gap" — describes what to produce, not what sentence structure to use. Also: tighten section 6 review cap from "under 2 sentences" to "one sentence (20-40 words)" and document field-description template lock in OPTIMIZE_INSTRUCTIONS.

Remove "identify the primary trade-off this lever introduces, then
state the specific gap the three options leave unaddressed" from two
locations: the Pydantic field description and the system prompt
section 4 preamble. Replace with minimal word-count guidance.
This phrase caused 85% template lock in haiku reviews ("All three
options X, but none address Y"). Proven fix from analysis 76 (#482).
All other field descriptions, system prompt sections, and prohibitions
unchanged from baseline (PR #358).

Summary
The phrase "name the core tension" in the
review_leverfield description (line 111) and system prompt section 4 (line 228) caused ~100% "The tension is between X and Y" opener lock across all plans for llama3.1 and haiku (confirmed in iter 39, analysis 39).The three section-4 examples already use domain-specific openers (not "The tension is..."), so removing the structural cue from the instruction text aligns instruction with examples.
