Input-tracing grounding audit for artifacts such as test cases, analysis reports, and design docs. Extracts proper nouns, numbers, citations, version claims, and branching conditions, then back-traces each to declared local files by grep or to external sources by fetch-and-support checks. Marks missing anchors as Phantom Claims and cited-but-unsupporting anchors as Unsupported. A claim is grounded only by non-model evidence: a local hit or literal source span, never another model's agreement.…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# phantom-quench — Input Tracing Grounding Audit

> Just because an artifact looks plausible doesn't mean it's grounded in source. plausible ≠ grounded.

> **Renamed from `source-grounding-audit` (2026-06-06)** — the grounding member of the quench series
> (steel-quench · phantom-quench · goal-quench). Same skill, same ruleset; only the label changed to fit
> the family. The **v1 paper (Zenodo 10.5281/zenodo.20397566) cites the old name** — that is the <!-- stale-ref: pinned-line=20397566 -->
> historical record, not a phantom (`paper/forge_harness_v1.0.html` is left unchanged by design; readers
> map *source-grounding-audit (v1) = phantom-quench (current)*). The deprecated redirect stub directory
> was removed 2026-06-12 — old-name utterances ("source grounding audit", "grounding audit") route here
> via this description's trigger phrases.
> This is a **label rename, not a capability change** — phantom-quench does not fuse steel-quench or
> inject faults; those remain separate (orthogonality is deliberate — see Role Separation below).
>
> **Quench-series semantics** (resolves the "quench *what*?" question): each member subjects a different

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/phantom-quench@sha256:273a7ae873111974

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.d817b8a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
