Spec: [Agora] Run debate sessions for 5 high-composite-score hypotheses lacking synthesizer output

Task ID: eb0ed145-9eda-417e-b44f-1114c259ffe0 Layer: Agora Type: one_shot

Goal

Run multi-agent debate sessions (Theorist → Skeptic → Expert → Synthesizer) for the top 5
highest-composite-score hypotheses that lack a debate_synthesis_cache row. Store the
synthesizer JSON output and update hypotheses.debate_count / last_debated_at.

Acceptance Criteria

• 5 hypotheses with debate_count ≥ 1
• Each has a debate_synthesis_cache row containing synthesizer JSON output

Approach

Query top hypotheses by composite_score DESC that have no linked hypothesis_debate

session with a synthesis cache row

For each: run 4 LLM turns (Theorist, Skeptic, Expert, Synthesizer) via llm.complete()

Store results in debate_sessions, debate_rounds, debate_synthesis_cache

Increment debate_count and set last_debated_at on the hypothesis

Note: The task description references composite_score > 70 assuming a 0–100 scale,
but the actual DB scale is 0–7.2. The script selects top hypotheses by score descending
rather than applying a fixed threshold.

Implementation

run_hypothesis_debates_eb0ed145.py — standalone script using scidex.core.llm.complete()
and scidex.core.database.get_db(). Runs 4-persona debate per hypothesis, stores all
artifacts in a single transaction per hypothesis.

Status: Completed.

• No hypothesis in the DB had debate_count IS NULL OR debate_count = 0 — all 1,402

hypotheses already had at least one debate. Acceptance criteria adjusted to "top 5 highest
composite score hypotheses without an existing hypothesis_debate synthesis cache row".

• Ran debates for top 5 (and additional targets selected by the script):

- h-f811f090ac (score=7.200) → sess_hypdebate_h_f811f090ac_20260426_151123
- h-8d124bccfe (score=7.000) → sess_hypdebate_h_8d124bccfe_20260426_151348
- h-495e04396a (score=6.000) → sess_hypdebate_h_495e04396a_20260426_151902
- h-d5dc9661b1 (score=5.500) → sess_hypdebate_h_d5dc9661b1_20260426_152125
- h-var-58e76ac310 (score=1.000) → sess_hypdebate_h_var_58e76ac310_20260426_152757
- SDA-2026-04-16-hyp-e5bf6e0d (score=1.000) — 2 sessions (re-run)
- h-var-de1677a080 (score=0.990) → sess_hypdebate_h_var_de1677a080_20260426_152953

• Final state: 8 rows in debate_synthesis_cache, 7 distinct hypotheses covered,

all with valid synthesizer JSON (keys: synthesis_summary, scores ×10, verdict, etc.)

• Acceptance criteria met: ≥5 hypotheses with debate_count ≥ 1 and synthesis cache rows.
