## 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.

2026-04-20 14:30 PT — Slot 0
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
