Summary

Users rely on a guard against a common preference-data bug that does not exist.

Primary finding

DOC-D3B05-007 — docs/usermanuals/en/concepts/data-formats.md: false claim — forgelm audit flags rows where chosen == rejected ('⚠ 12 chosen-rejected identical rows')

severity High

Where. docs/usermanuals/en/concepts/data-formats.md:69,164 (Turkish mirror: docs/usermanuals/tr/concepts/data-formats.md:69,162) · type: false claim

The document says. forgelm audit flags rows where chosen == rejected ('⚠ 12 chosen-rejected identical rows')

What the code does. No such check exists: forgelm/data_audit has no reference to chosen/rejected. Auditing a file with two identical chosen/rejected rows produced no flag, and the per-row text that was scanned was only prompt.

Code references. forgelm/data_audit/_types.py:78, forgelm/data_audit/_streaming.py:116-165

User impact. Users rely on a guard against a common preference-data bug that does not exist.

Proposed correction. Remove the claim (or implement the check). Suggest a one-liner such as jq 'select(.chosen==.rejected)' instead.

Turkish mirror. the Turkish page has the same error; fix both in the same PR
