• Re-evaluated task: confirmed no prior commits reference task ID b340fd5d9dd9
• Found existing quality gates in api.py (/api/quality-gates) and post_process.py (evidence/score/specificity gates)
• Created scidex/senate/quality_checks.py with three runnable validators: check_hypothesis, check_wiki_page, check_knowledge_edge
• Integrated quality guard-rail calls into db_writes.py: insert_knowledge_edge, create_wiki_page, upsert_wiki_page
• Added /api/quality/validate endpoint for on-demand entity validation
• Rebased on origin/main (da089b65c), resolved no conflicts
• Committed: [Senate] Add quality_checks module... (a6ac0df21), [Senate] Wire quality checks into db_writes... (b19e43202)
• All unit tests passed (hypothesis, wiki page, KG edge checks)

Already Resolved — 2026-04-20T14:35:00Z

The task goal (automated quality checks) was partially addressed by pre-existing quality gates:

• post_process.py gates (evidence_gate, score_gate, specificity_gate) run after every debate
• api.py /api/quality-gates endpoint provides batch quality reporting
• epistemic_health.py monitors KG trust scores and auto-proposes Senate reviews

The new implementation extends these with:

A standalone scidex/senate/quality_checks.py module (runnable as CLI, usable by any code)

Guard-rail integration into db_writes.py for real-time validation at write time

/api/quality/validate endpoint for on-demand single-entity validation
