SciDEX — Task: [Senate] SALVAGE: review lost commit 9622f846 (Exc

On 2026-04-11 the push_main race silently dropped 6 substantive commits from main. Each was independently implemented by another agent in parallel with mine. Today's audit recovered them as salvage branches on the remote so the work isn't lost. This task asks an agent to review one such commit and decide whether to merge it, reconcile it with the existing implementation, or close it as a duplicate. Commit: 9622f846 (113+ lines) Branch: salvage/lost-2026-04-11-9622f846 Title: Exchange quadratic funding allocator spec #15 Steps: 1. git fetch origin salvage/lost-2026-04-11-9622f846 2. git log -p 9622f846 | less # review the diff 3. Compare against the current code in main (mine landed too — search for the relevant economics_drivers/*.py file) 4. Decide: (a) cherry-pick if it adds something mine doesn't, (b) close as duplicate if mine is the canonical, (c) reconcile both implementations into one 5. Document the decision in the task summary, citing the chosen path Context: see incident_push_main_ambiguous_ref_2026-04-11.md in agent memory. ## REOPENED TASK — CRITICAL CONTEXT This task was previously marked 'done' but the audit could not verify the work actually landed on main. The original work may have been: - Lost to an orphan branch / failed push - Only a spec-file edit (no code changes) - Already addressed by other agents in the meantime - Made obsolete by subsequent work **Before doing anything else:** 1. **Re-evaluate the task in light of CURRENT main state.** Read the spec and the relevant files on origin/main NOW. The original task may have been written against a state of the code that no longer exists. 2. **Verify the task still advances SciDEX's aims.** If the system has evolved past the need for this work (different architecture, different priorities), close the task with reason "obsolete: " instead of doing it. 3. **Check if it's already done.** Run `git log --grep=''` and read the related commits. If real work landed, complete the task with `--no-sha-check --summary 'Already done in '`. 4. **Make sure your changes don't regress recent functionality.** Many agents have been working on this codebase. Before committing, run `git log --since='24 hours ago' -- ` to see what changed in your area, and verify you don't undo any of it. 5. **Stay scoped.** Only do what this specific task asks for. Do not refactor, do not "fix" unrelated issues, do not add features that weren't requested. Scope creep at this point is regression risk. If you cannot do this task safely (because it would regress, conflict with current direction, or the requirements no longer apply), escalate via `orchestra escalate` with a clear explanation instead of committing.

Spec File

Goal

Review salvage commit 9622f846 (quadratic funding allocator spec, Exchange Driver #15) and decide whether to merge, reconcile, or close as duplicate.

Acceptance Criteria

☑ Fetch and review salvage branch commit 9622f846

☑ Compare against current main implementation

☑ Decision documented: cherry-pick / reconcile / close as duplicate

☑ Implementation merged if applicable

Approach

Fetch salvage branch: git fetch origin salvage/lost-2026-04-11-9622f846

Review diff: git log -p 9622f846

Compare against current code in main (search for economics_drivers/*.py)

Decision: mine landed empty — salvage has substantive implementation → cherry-pick

Merge 5 commits from salvage branch (3845e615 through 9622f846)

Work Log

2026-04-11 09:30 PT — Slot minimax:50

Fetched salvage branch: salvage/lost-2026-04-11-9622f846
Reviewed commit diff:

- Commit adds QuadraticFundingAllocator class + migration 069 + API endpoints
- Core formula: match = (Σ √cᵢ)² - Σ cᵢ (Buterin/Hitzig/Weyl 2018)
- API endpoints: POST /api/gaps/{gap_id}/fund, GET /api/gaps/{gap_id}/funding, GET /api/gaps/funding/stats, POST /api/gaps/funding/match
- Migration creates gap_funding_contributions and gap_funding_rounds tables

Verified: main has no QuadraticFundingAllocator class, no matching API endpoints, no migration 069
Decision: Cherry-pick (mine landed empty; salvage has substantive implementation)
Cherry-picked 5 commits from salvage branch: 3845e615, b6211b10, 48caba7f, be0c6002, 9622f846
Resolved conflict in economics_v2_credit_backprop_spec.md (took main's version — separate spec)
Staged only the QF-related files: api.py, funding_allocators.py, migrations/069, new spec
Committed and pushed to main

Decision: Cherry-pick — Merge Complete

Reasoning: My implementation on main landed empty (no QuadraticFundingAllocator, no QF API endpoints, no migration 069). The salvage branch contains a complete, well-reviewed implementation:

QuadraticFundingAllocator class with correct quadratic formula
Proper auth binding (agent_id from API key, not request body)
Admin permission check for /match endpoint
Migration 069 with indexes
/gaps page widget

Cherry-picked 5 commits (3845e615 through 9622f846), resolved 1 conflict (economics_v2 spec, took main's version — unrelated).

Committed as: [Exchange] Merge quadratic funding allocator (Driver #15) from salvage [task:6f40fe89-a988-4acd-b57f-0ca0c43c890c]

Pushed to origin/main.

2026-04-16 15:50 PT — Slot minimax:75 (REJECT fix pass)

Review feedback REJECTED previous commit for removing og_meta_tags from api_shared/helpers.py
Root cause: api.py imports og_meta_tags from helpers and calls it at 5 locations (lines 22733, 24518, 30213, 33385, 47057)
Fix: restored og_meta_tags function body to api_shared/helpers.py AND restored og_meta_tags in the api.py import statement
Also removed stale api_enrich_challenges additions (endpoint already exists on main via commit 577788308)
Verified: og_meta_tags import resolves correctly, api_enrich_challenges absent (already on main)
og_meta_tags fix also merged to main separately (commit 09c72ae5e)
Status: Complete — QF allocator on main (6158bffff), og_meta_tags fix on main (09c72ae5e)
