From 760f712aafc93789e7d31ebd0fe147495925d36c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cemil ILIK Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 14:20:06 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/21] chore(ci): enforce issue dependencies with a blocked label and a required PR check A dependency between issues was recorded only in prose, so nothing kept a contributor from claiming or opening a pull request for work whose prerequisite was still open, and nothing said when it opened up. - tools/issue_dependencies.py derives the `blocked` label from GitHub's native "Blocked by" links. A blocker is resolved only when it is closed as completed; one closed as not planned or as a duplicate keeps the dependent blocked and flags it `needs-triage` with one notice. Removing the label posts one comment and re-runs the failed check of the open pull requests that link the issue. - .github/workflows/issue-dependencies.yml runs it when an issue is closed or reopened, hourly (GitHub sends no event for link edits) and on demand. - .github/workflows/pr-dependencies.yml adds the "Issue dependencies" check: it fails while a linked issue (Fixes / Closes / Resolves / Refs) is blocked, unless the pull request closes every open blocker too or a maintainer sets `dependency-override`. It runs the base commit's copy of the script, never the pull request's, with a read-only token. - /assign refuses a blocked issue (the label, or an open blocker GitHub still counts, so the hourly lag leaves no gap). - CONTRIBUTING gains "Dependencies between issues"; CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, the PR template and the CHANGELOG describe the rule.

76de1e814d617a8877fd37258143e33ed74ae55b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cemil ILIK Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 14:53:11 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 02/21] fix(ci): harden the issue-dependency check after review - Run the "Issue dependencies" check on pull_request_target, so the workflow and the script come from the default branch and a pull request cannot rewrite the check that judges it. Nothing from the pull request is checked out or run, and the token stays read-only. - Count a blocker as closed by the pull request only in the form GitHub closes on merge (`Fixes #N`, one keyword per issue); `Fixes#N`, `Fixes: #N`, a URL or the second issue of a list no longer exempt it. - Honour `dependency-override` only when a maintainer added it last, checked against the issue events. - Reconcile pull-request checks by state on every sync: re-run the check of any open pull request whose last result no longer matches its linked issues, in both directions, across every page of pull requests. A check still running or a failed re-run is picked up by the next run. - Re-read an issue right before unblocking it, post the notice before removing the label and make it idempotent with a marker, so a reopened blocker or a half-finished run never yields a wrong or lost notice. - Key not-completed notices by owner/repo#N; check that labels fit in one page; read pull-request descriptions in linear time (line walker for fences, str.find for HTML comments; regex.md rule 6). - /assign also refuses an issue whose blocker was closed without being completed before the label caught up. - CONTRIBUTING says the check is not yet required until branch protection lists it, and no notice is promised that may not come.

Closing references are now read without indented code blocks: a line indented four spaces or a tab opens one only at the start, after a blank line or after a heading, never as a paragraph continuation, and the block runs through indented and blank lines (linear line walker). Links are still read with those lines kept.

Override events are sorted by time. An endless comment thread never triggers a repeated notice. - Manual runs only from the default branch. Messages and /assign: - An override lists what it accepts; a not-completed blocker asks for a re-plan, not a wait; an unblocked issue that still carries needs-triage says so; a context-only reference is told to drop the keyword. - /unassign never reads dependencies; a missing summary or a closed blocker makes /assign read the blocker list and count from it alone.

If your pull request only mentions such an issue for context, drop the keyword. The check reads at most 50 linked issues, 100 commits and 50 closing references; a pull request over those limits fails until it is split or a maintainer accepts it. - **The label is automatic.** Nobody sets or removes it by hand. The *Issue dependencies* workflow adds it while a blocker is open and removes it once every blocker is closed as completed — as soon as that blocker is closed, or within an hour of a link being added or removed. When it removes the label it says so in a comment on the issue. Within the same hour it also re-runs the check of every open pull request whose result no longer matches, so a red check turns green once its blockers are completed, and a green one turns red if a linked issue becomes blocked. -- **A blocker closed as not planned or as a duplicate unblocks nothing**, because the work the issue waits for was not done.

It counts a blocker as closed only in the form GitHub closes on merge — the keyword, a space and the issue, once per issue (`Fixes #12, fixes #13`) — so `Fixes#12`, `Fixes: #12` or the second issue of `Fixes #12, #13` leave the blocker open. A maintainer listed in [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md) can also accept a dependency deliberately with the `dependency-override` label; the label set by anyone else is ignored. +- **A blocker closed as not planned or as a duplicate unblocks nothing**, because the work the issue waits for was not done. The issue stays `blocked`, gets `needs-triage`, and a maintainer re-plans it: removes the link, or links the issue that replaces the blocker. Once the dependency is re-planned the label goes, but the issue can be picked up only after a maintainer also removes `needs-triage`. +- **A pull request may close the blocker as well.** When it closes every open blocker of the issues it links, the check passes. What counts is GitHub's own list of issues the pull request will close — the *Development* sidebar — and only for a pull request into `development`, where GitHub closes on merge. Use one keyword per issue (`Fixes #12, fixes #13`): GitHub closes only the first issue of `Fixes #12, #13`. +- **A maintainer can accept a dependency deliberately** with the `dependency-override` label on the pull request. The check then passes and lists what it accepted; the label set by anyone not listed in [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md) is ignored. The override covers the pull request as it stands, so read it again before merging if it changed after the label was set. - **Grouped issues are not blocked as a whole** when only some of their findings belong to a Phase 16 step. Those findings say so in the checklist (`KNOWN-OPEN … (S8 open)`): leave them to the step and take the others. The project's *Blocked* view lists every blocked issue; *Front door* and *Small tasks* leave them out. +**For maintainers.** Record a dependency with a *Blocked by* link and let the label follow; to apply a change at once instead of within the hour, run the *Issue dependencies* workflow by hand (Actions > *Issue dependencies* > *Run workflow*). To stop the automation, disable either workflow in the Actions tab; the links stay. The **Issue dependencies** check runs on `pull_request_target`, which GitHub blocks in public repositories from 2 November 2026 unless an Actions policy allows it: the repository's policy (Settings > Actions > Policies) allows it for `.github/workflows/pr-dependencies.yml` only, so moving or renaming that file needs the policy updated too, or the check stops reporting. + ## Reporting Security Vulnerabilities Please **do not open a public issue** for a security vulnerability, and do not post exploit details in comments. Report it privately through GitHub: on the repository's **Security** tab choose **Report a vulnerability**. [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md) explains what to include, what counts as a vulnerability, and how disclosure works.

A maintainer who removed the label before the workflow started is not overruled. The nightly-failure issue is created with the label, because events caused by GITHUB_TOKEN start no other workflow. CONTRIBUTING.md (Issue triage), MAINTAINERS.md (Triage), GOVERNANCE.md, the issue forms, the pull-request template, the review standard and the agent guides tell contributors not to work on, or open a pull request for, an issue that still carries the label.

The login shape now allows the suffix; tests use real App logins. - The decision is a function of the issue's state (its labels, label history and reopenings), not of the event that woke the run: a replayed, delayed or cancelled run reaches the same answer, a maintainer's removal after a contributor's reopening is no longer overruled, and a second look right before the write lets a maintainer's removal in the window win. Events are ordered by (created_at, id), not by arrival, and a history of exactly 1000 events is read in full; a longer one fails closed for a non-maintainer and is reported by the sweep. - An hourly sweep gives every open issue created since TRIAGE_SWEEP_SINCE that lacks the label the same decision, which repairs a failed API call, a disabled workflow and issues that a workflow creates with its own GITHUB_TOKEN. - Runs on one issue are queued per issue (no cancel-in-progress); the job timeout is 10 minutes and a gh call 30 seconds. A former maintainer's removals stay valid (FORMER_MAINTAINER_LOGINS). - gh calls are restricted to the issues endpoints of the repository; the repository name, the action type and the sweep date are validated. - Docs: an exposed secret is rotated and an issue holding a live secret or personal data is deleted (the "never deleted" rule had no exception), triage is a point in time, the "will not be reviewed" rule is a maintainer practice listed in the review standard, label table rows for enhancement/duplicate/invalid/wontfix, the 72-hour reply target everywhere, test-module counts. - Tests pin the workflow's trigger, `if`, concurrency, checkout SHA and cone mode, the gh wrapper's refusals without starting gh, 999/1000/1001-event histories, out-of-order events and the nightly label array.

Triage 1. **Claim it first.** Start a comment on the issue with `/assign` and, once GitHub confirms it, the issue is assigned to you, so nobody duplicates the work. If the automation cannot complete, its reply says so and a maintainer assigns the issue by hand. This works on an open issue labelled `good first issue` that nobody holds yet. A contributor can hold at most 2 open issues at a time; the maintainers listed in [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md) are exempt. Comment `/unassign` to give one back. A few rules keep it predictable: - It is first come, first served. A later `/assign` never changes an assignment that exists, whoever wrote it and however it was made. Only a maintainer can reassign an issue, in the issue's sidebar, and a maintainer's decision always stands. - `/assign` and `/unassign` act on the person who writes them, and the command must be the first thing in the comment; they cannot name someone else. If two people claim an issue in the same second, the maintainer's claim wins, and between two contributors one claim is released again and its author is told so. - - Anything the automation does not cover stays a maintainer's call: an issue labelled `help wanted` without `good first issue` (grouped sweeps are taken one finding ID at a time, see below), an issue labelled `needs-triage`, `deferred`, `security`, `epic` or `phase: 16`, and a request for more than 2 open issues.

The candidates now come from the search API (open, an issue, no needs-triage, created since TRIAGE_SWEEP_SINCE), so the server does the filtering and every page entry is a candidate. A run handles at most 500 and says so; handling an issue removes it from the query, so the next run continues with the rest and no checkpoint is needed. The filters are checked again on what the (possibly lagging) index returns. gh may use the search endpoint for GET only.

Resolves: CR-A13-001. _slerp_merge kept the first adapter's merged state as a view of the live base model's storage, so restoring the base and merging the second adapter overwrote it and the result was always the second adapter, whatever the weights. The first state is now snapshotted. The second state is read directly (the base is not touched again until the final load) and base_state is released after the restore, which keeps peak memory at the pre-fix level. Regression tests use real local PEFT adapters, both adapter orders and five weight pairs.

DOC-D3B08-025 needs no documentation edit: as the maintainer explained on #108, the existing claim that the generative guard works out of the box becomes true once this code is fixed. ## Changes - Pass `return_dict=False` to `apply_chat_template`. - Handle `AttributeError` at the tokenizer/generation boundary and log the exception type when its message is empty, preserving fail-closed scoring. - Add offline tests using a real `PreTrainedTokenizerFast` for safe/unsafe verdicts and tests for attribute failures during template application, generation, and decoding. - Add the CR-A06-003 entry under the Unreleased Fixed section of CHANGELOG.md. ## Type - [x] Bug fix ## Testing - [x] `python tools/check_import_origin.py --strict` passes against this checkout. - [x] `python -m pytest tests/test_safety_advanced.py --no-cov -q`: **181 passed**, using torch 2.14.1+cpu and transformers 5.20.1. - [x] `ruff check .` passes. - [x] `ruff format --check .` passes (293 files). - [x] New tests added for changed code; no GPU, network, or model downloads required. - [ ] Full `pytest tests/` suite and the complete repository gauntlet were not rerun during this finishing pass. - [ ] CLI dry-run and live Llama-Guard model inference were not verified. ## Checklist - [x] Changes follow the existing safety module structure and Ruff style. - [x] No user-facing documentation changes needed, per maintainer guidance above. - [x] Regression tests added. - [x] No new dependencies or config fields. - [x] CHANGELOG entry under `[Unreleased]`. ## Summary by Sourcery Restore reliable and fail-closed Llama-Guard scoring across transformers 5.x while protecting moderation conversations from control-token injection. Bug Fixes: - Restore generation-based Llama-Guard scoring on transformers 5.x and fail closed when tokenizer or generation boundary errors occur. Enhancements: - Prevent prompt and response content from forging moderation chat-template boundaries by neutralising control-token strings before scoring. Tests: - Add offline regression coverage for real chat-template tensor inputs, safe and unsafe verdicts, control-token neutralisation, and attribute failures. Chores: - Record the safety fixes in the unreleased changelog. ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Bug Fixes** - Improved safety verdict generation compatibility with newer Transformers versions. - Safety-check failures now fail closed by returning an empty verdict instead of raising an unexpected error. - Error reporting now includes the exception type when no message is available. - Improved handling of chat-template, generation, and decoding failures. - Verdict decoding now consistently processes only newly generated output tokens. - **Documentation** - Updated the changelog with the latest safety-generation reliability improvements. --------- Signed-off-by: krisnaparahita Co-authored-by: Cemil ILIK Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5.5 --- CHANGELOG.md | 6 ++ forgelm/safety/_score_generation.py | 53 ++++++++++- tests/test_safety_advanced.py | 140 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 194 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 85bb7306..ab29b3fe 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -109,6 +109,12 @@ All notable changes to ForgeLM are documented here. ### Fixed +- Restore tensor inputs to generation-based Llama-Guard scoring on transformers 5.x by explicitly requesting + `return_dict=False` from the chat template.

Each one is either implemented or closed with a reason. The owner made four decisions: - Item 2 records an override in a bot comment. - Item 3 waits for a second maintainer. - Item 10 runs the sync every 15 minutes. - Item 14 gives the three workflow scripts a coverage floor of their own. Fixes #1039 ## The fifteen items | # | Resolution | |---|---| | 1 | **Done, differently from the proposal.** A local CommonMark scanner would still be an imitation, so the description is now read as GitHub itself renders it (`POST /markdown`, `gfm`, this repository as context). `html.parser` keeps the prose outside `` and `

and every block boundary becomes a line break. The constructs listed in
the issue all resolve as GitHub resolves them: a code span holding

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Dependency checks now recognize GitHub-rendered links in pull request
descriptions, titles, commits, and Development links.
- Maintainer dependency overrides are recorded against the current
commit and linked issues.
- Pull requests are automatically rechecked every 15 minutes, with
updated unblock notices and `blocked` labels removed when dependencies
are resolved.
- Assignment workflows now handle pagination, transient API failures,
and clearer error guidance.

- **Documentation**
- Updated contributor and maintainer guidance for dependency automation,
overrides, repository changes, and validation requirements.

 Some issues can only be done after another one: each Phase 16 step waits for the step before it, a deferred item may wait for the step that changes the same file, and a review issue whose every finding is a unit of a Phase 16 step waits for that step, whose pull request fixes it. Such a dependency is recorded as a **Blocked by** link in the issue's sidebar (*Relationships*), never only in prose.
 
-- **An issue with an open blocker is labelled `blocked`.** Do not start on it and do not open a pull request for it: `/assign` refuses it, and the **Issue dependencies** pull-request check fails a pull request that links it — with `Fixes`, `Closes`, `Resolves` or `Refs #…` in the title, the description or any commit message, or through GitHub's *Development* sidebar. If your pull request only mentions such an issue for context, drop the keyword. The check reads at most 50 linked issues, 100 commits and 50 closing references; a pull request over those limits fails until it is split or a maintainer accepts it.
-- **The label is automatic.** Nobody sets or removes it by hand. The *Issue dependencies* workflow adds it while a blocker is open and removes it once every blocker is closed as completed — as soon as that blocker is closed, or within an hour of a link being added or removed. When it removes the label it says so in a comment on the issue. Within the same hour it also re-runs the check of every open pull request whose result no longer matches, so a red check turns green once its blockers are completed, and a green one turns red if a linked issue becomes blocked.

The description is read as GitHub shows it, so a reference inside code or an HTML comment there does not count; the title and the commit messages are read as they are written, because GitHub does not render a title as Markdown and closes an issue from a commit message whatever it looks like. If your pull request only mentions such an issue for context, drop the keyword.

In the same run it also re-runs the check of every open pull request whose result no longer matches, so a red check turns green once its blockers are completed, and a green one turns red if a linked issue becomes blocked. The label describes issues only; on a pull request it is removed.
 - **A blocker closed as not planned or as a duplicate unblocks nothing**, because the work the issue waits for was not done. The issue stays `blocked`, gets `needs-triage`, and a maintainer re-plans it: removes the link, or links the issue that replaces the blocker. Once the dependency is re-planned the label goes, but the issue can be picked up only after a maintainer also removes `needs-triage`.
 - **A pull request may close the blocker as well.** When it closes every open blocker of the issues it links, the check passes. What counts is GitHub's own list of issues the pull request will close — the *Development* sidebar — and only for a pull request into `development`, where GitHub closes on merge. Use one keyword per issue (`Fixes #12, fixes #13`): GitHub closes only the first issue of `Fixes #12, #13`.
-- **A maintainer can accept a dependency deliberately** with the `dependency-override` label on the pull request. The check then passes and lists what it accepted; the label set by anyone not listed in [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md) is ignored. The override covers the pull request as it stands, so read it again before merging if it changed after the label was set.
+- **A maintainer can accept a dependency deliberately** with the `dependency-override` label on the pull request. When a maintainer sets it, the *Record dependency override* job posts a comment recording the head commit and the issues the pull request links at that moment; the check then passes and lists what it accepted. A new commit, or a link to another issue, ends the override, and the check says so: the maintainer reads the pull request again, removes the label and sets it again. The label set by anyone not listed in [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md) is ignored.
 - **Grouped issues are not blocked as a whole** when only some of their findings belong to a Phase 16 step. Those findings say so in the checklist (`KNOWN-OPEN … (S8 open)`): leave them to the step and take the others.
 
 The project's *Blocked* view lists every blocked issue; *Front door* and *Small tasks* leave them out.

To stop the automation, disable either workflow in the Actions tab; the links stay. The **Issue dependencies** check runs on `pull_request_target`, which GitHub blocks in public repositories from 2 November 2026 unless an Actions policy allows it: the repository's policy (Settings > Actions > Policies) allows it for `.github/workflows/pr-dependencies.yml` only, so moving or renaming that file needs the policy updated too, or the check stops reporting.

+them: *Triage gate* (`tools/triage_gate.py`), *Assign on comment*
+(`tools/assign_on_comment.py`), and *Issue dependencies* and *PR dependencies*

Subject: [PATCH 15/21] fix: reject ambiguous judge JSON verdicts (CR-A06-015)
 (#1038)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

Make judge reply parsing fail closed when a quoted score block makes the
verdict ambiguous, when JSON keys repeat, or when the whole reply is not
an object.

## Related issues

Fixes #127

Resolves: CR-A06-015
Resolves: M-A06-015

## Changes

- Accept a whole JSON object with unique keys; reject non-object JSON
replies with the existing `score=None` failure sentinel.
- Use `JSONDecoder.raw_decode` to scan fenced and unfenced objects.
Accept exactly one score-bearing object; multiple objects fail even when
their scores match. Skip consumed objects so nested data and braces
inside strings are not counted twice.
- Detect duplicate keys at every nesting level with `object_pairs_hook`.
Log rejected replies without echoing their content.
- Cover the planted-block orderings, identical repeated verdicts,
duplicate keys, non-object replies, preserved plain/fenced parsing, and
downstream judge failure counting.
- Add an Unreleased Fixed entry for both findings. Per the maintainer's
follow-up, the judge manual needs no change.

## Type

- [x] Bug fix
- ~~[x] New feature~~ — not applicable.
- ~~[x] Documentation~~ — no manual change needed per maintainer
guidance.
- ~~[x] Refactoring / code quality~~ — scoped parser fix.
- [x] Test coverage
- ~~[x] CI / infrastructure~~ — unchanged.

## Testing

- ~~[x] `pytest tests/` passes~~ — full suite and full local gauntlet
not run; used the maintainer-requested focused suite.
- [x] `ruff check .` passes
- [x] `ruff format --check .` passes
- [x] New tests added for changed code
- [x] `python -m forgelm --config config_template.yaml --dry-run` works

`PYTEST_ADDOPTS='-p no:rerunfailures' pytest
tests/test_judge_functions.py --no-cov`: **119 passed, 6 skipped** on
Python 3.11.6. The globally installed, unrelated pytest-rerunfailures
plugin tries to open a socket during startup, which this sandbox
forbids; it was disabled for the focused run. Existing torch-dependent
cases account for the skips. No GPU, network, or model downloads were
needed.

Also passed:

```text
ruff format --check forgelm/judge.py tests/test_judge_functions.py
ruff check forgelm/judge.py tests/test_judge_functions.py
python3 tools/check_bilingual_parity.py --strict
python3 tools/check_bilingual_code_blocks.py --strict
python3 tools/check_module_size.py --strict
git diff --check
```

The bilingual guards checked 118 pairs. The module-size guard reports
existing deferred-split warnings, with no new violation. The original
parser on current `upstream/development` was checked separately: it
returns the planted score, silently keeps a repeated score key, and
returns `[1, 2]` for a non-object reply.

## Checklist

- [x] My code follows the project's style (ruff formatted) and
`docs/standards/coding.md`
- [x] I've updated documentation if needed — no manual/mirror changes
needed per the maintainer's issue comment.
- [x] I've added tests for new functionality
- [x] No new dependencies added
- ~~[x] Config template updated~~ — no configuration fields changed.
- [x] CHANGELOG entry under `[Unreleased]`

CI and the supported Python-version matrix remain unverified locally. No
DCO requirement was found in repository contribution/workflow files; the
commit includes `Signed-off-by: krisnaparahita
` regardless.

## Summary by Sourcery

Harden judge verdict parsing so ambiguous, duplicate-key, malformed, and
non-object responses are rejected safely and consistently.

Bug Fixes:
- Make judge response parsing fail closed for ambiguous or malformed
verdicts, duplicate JSON keys, and non-object replies while preserving
the existing failure sentinel.
- Ensure invalid judge responses are counted as judge failures without
logging response contents.

Enhancements:
- Handle fenced and unfenced JSON objects conservatively while ignoring
nested score fields and braces inside valid strings.

Tests:
- Add focused coverage for ambiguous verdicts, duplicate keys,
non-object responses, malformed quoted blocks, parsing compatibility,
safe rejection logging, and downstream failure counting.





## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Judge replies are now rejected when they contain duplicate keys,
multiple or nested score objects, array-wrapped scores, or non-object
responses.
- Invalid replies consistently produce the existing judge-failure
result.
- Rejection warnings provide a general reason without exposing the
original reply.

- **Tests**
- Expanded coverage for ambiguous, malformed, embedded, escaped, and
invalid judge responses.
- Added verification that rejected replies are tracked as judge
failures.

 ### Fixed
 
+- Fail closed when judge replies contain multiple score objects or duplicate JSON keys, and reject
+  non-object replies, including a score object that only appears inside an array or after an undecodable
+  `{`, with the existing judge-failure sentinel. The rejection reason is logged without echoing the reply
+  (CR-A06-015, M-A06-015, #127).
 - Restore tensor inputs to generation-based Llama-Guard scoring on transformers 5.x by explicitly requesting
   `return_dict=False` from the chat template. Guard-boundary `AttributeError` failures now score the pair fail-closed
   and empty error messages log the exception type (CR-A06-003, TECH-T05-001, #108).

Subject: [PATCH 16/21] fix(judge): count a reply cut off at the token cap as a
 judge failure (#1045)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

A judge reply that used the whole 200-token budget is no longer parsed;
it counts as a judge failure. This closes a path around the "exactly one
score object" rule of the #127 fix.

## Related issues

Fixes #1044

Resolves: CR-A06-032 (part 2). Part 1 of that finding, a configurable
reply budget, stays in #553.

## Changes

- `_call_api_judge`: a choice with `finish_reason` `length` or
`content_filter` (any case) returns the `score=None` sentinel with a
reason that names truncation. A gateway that sends no `finish_reason`
cannot be checked, so its reply is parsed as before.
- `_call_local_judge`: the generated token ids are checked before
decoding. The reply was cut off when the cap was reached and the last
token is none of the EOS ids (generation config, int or list, plus the
tokenizer's). A cut-off reply is not even decoded.
- One constant, `_JUDGE_REPLY_MAX_TOKENS`, sets the budget for both
paths; the log line carries the cap, never the reply.
- Tests: the decision table for the cut-off rule and the EOS collection,
the API path (cut off, cut off after a quoted object, finished, no
`finish_reason`, `finish_reason: null`, the log, the request's
`max_tokens`), and the local path end to end with a stand-in `torch`,
model and tokenizer (budget, cut off and not decoded, EOS at exactly the
cap, EOS from a config list, short reply). No GPU, network or model
download.

## Why it matters

With the parser from #1038, a quoted plant followed by a long quote and
a verdict that is cut off (`... My verdict: {"score": 2, "rea`) parses
as score 10, because the quoted object is the only complete one. The
same happens when the cap is hit before the verdict starts. Both cases
are rejected now. The reproduction table is in #1044.

Re-checked on the merged parser (#1038 at `1877d93`): a quoted object
followed by a verdict cut off inside its object, cut off before its
brace, and a fenced quote followed by a cut-off verdict all still parse
as the quoted score 10. The parser's "malformed object seen" rule only
looks at objects *before* a score object, so the truncation check is
what rejects them.

## Trade-off

A judge that writes a complete verdict and then keeps talking past the
cap is now counted as a failure too (it used to parse if the object was
complete). That is the false-failure side of the same cap that part 1 of
CR-A06-032 addresses with a larger, configurable budget; the two cannot
be told apart from the reply alone.

## Type

- [x] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [ ] Documentation
- [ ] Refactoring / code quality
- [x] Test coverage
- [ ] CI / infrastructure

## Testing

- [x] `pytest tests/` passes (6425 passed, 98 skipped, on the branch
merged with `development`)
- [x] `ruff check .` passes
- [x] `ruff format --check .` passes
- [x] New tests added for changed code; mutating each part of the fix
(API check, local check, `>=` at the cap, the EOS test, EOS from the
config list, both budgets) makes a test fail
- [x] `python -m forgelm --config config_template.yaml --dry-run` works
- The full documented gauntlet ran on this branch: exit 0.

## Checklist

- [x] My code follows the project's style (ruff formatted) and
`docs/standards/coding.md`
- [x] I've updated documentation if needed (the judge manual does not
describe reply parsing; #1042 adds that section)
- [x] I've added tests for new functionality
- [x] No new dependencies added
- [x] Config template (`config_template.yaml`) not affected
- [x] CHANGELOG entry under `[Unreleased]`
- [x] The issue I link has been triaged (it does not carry
`needs-triage`), or this PR links no issue

## Summary by Sourcery

Reject incomplete or non-text judge replies so truncated verdicts cannot
be misparsed as valid scores.

Bug Fixes:
- Treat incomplete LLM-as-judge replies as judge failures instead of
parsing potentially misleading partial verdicts.
- Handle API judge responses without text content as judge failures
rather than aborting evaluation.

Enhancements:
- Use a shared 200-token reply budget for API and local judges and
report the number of incomplete replies in gate failure reasons.

Documentation:
- Document incomplete judge reply conditions and their effect in the
English and Turkish judge manuals.

Tests:
- Add coverage for API and local truncation detection, EOS handling,
missing response text, shared budgets, and failure reporting.

Chores:
- Add changelog entries for incomplete and non-text judge replies.




## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Incomplete AI judge responses are now treated as failures instead of
producing potentially misleading verdicts.
- Responses ending due to token limits or content filtering are
consistently rejected for API and local evaluations.
- Judge evaluations use a shared 200-token response limit, with improved
end-of-sequence detection for local evaluations.
- Evaluation reports include truncated-response counts, and excessive
truncation can result in insufficient valid evidence.

- **Documentation**
- Updated the English and Turkish evaluation manuals with
truncated-response handling and scoring guidance.

+- The LLM-as-judge no longer parses a reply that was cut off at its 200-token budget. A judge led to quote the

+  and made it the verdict. The API judge now treats `finish_reason` `length` or `content_filter` as an incomplete
+  reply and the local judge checks that the cap was reached without an end-of-sequence token; both count the row as a
+  judge failure, and the gate's failure reason says how many replies were cut off (CR-A06-032 part 2, #1044).
+  A reply whose `content` is not text (an OpenAI refusal or a tool call has `content: null`) is now one judge
+  failure too, instead of an `AttributeError` that stopped the whole evaluation (CR-A06-021, null-content half).

Subject: [PATCH 17/21] fix(judge): clear the three mypy errors in judge.py
 that count against the budget (#1046)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

Clears the three `mypy` errors that `forgelm/judge.py` contributes to
the recorded internal typing budget. No behaviour change.

## Related issues

Refs #917 (acceptance criterion 1: the count is back to 106 or below).
The ratchet in CI and the removal of the deferral row stay open there.

## Changes

- `_load_eval_prompts`: `prompt` is declared `Any`. A row may hold a
non-string value and the `isinstance` check right below drops it; the
declaration said `str`.
- `run_judge_evaluation`: the summary's `Optional[str]` failure reason
gets its own name (`summary_failure_reason`) instead of re-binding the
earlier `failure_reason: str` of the early-return branches.
- `_score_eval_prompts`: the API key is cast to `str` at the one call
where `is_api_judge` is known; the only caller derives `is_api_judge`
from `judge_api_key is not None`.

## Measurement

The budget command from `docs/roadmap/risks-and-decisions.md`, with a
cold cache so the numbers are comparable (`--no-incremental`; a warm
cache gave 108 for the same tree):

| | Errors | Files |
|---|---|---|
| `development` | 109 | 35 |
| this branch | 106 | 34 |

`judge.py` no longer appears in the list. Under `--strict` the file
still has three `no-any-return` findings (two in `_parse_judge_json`,
which #1038 rewrites, and one in `_generate_response`); no gate measures
them, so they are left alone here.

## Type

- [ ] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [ ] Documentation
- [x] Refactoring / code quality
- [ ] Test coverage
- [ ] CI / infrastructure

## Testing

- [x] `pytest tests/` passes (6336 passed, 98 skipped)
- [x] `ruff check .` passes
- [x] `ruff format --check .` passes
- [x] No new tests: types only, behaviour unchanged (the existing judge
tests cover all three sites)
- [x] `python -m forgelm --config config_template.yaml --dry-run` works
- The full documented gauntlet ran on this branch: exit 0. One earlier
run failed two wall-clock ratio assertions of `TestPatternLinearity`
under heavy machine load; they pass alone and on `development`, and are
filed separately.

## Checklist

- [x] My code follows the project's style (ruff formatted) and
`docs/standards/coding.md`
- [x] I've updated documentation if needed (none needed)
- [x] No new dependencies added
- [x] Config template (`config_template.yaml`) not affected
- [x] CHANGELOG: not needed, nothing a user or library consumer can
observe
- [x] The issue I link has been triaged (it does not carry
`needs-triage`), or this PR links no issue

## Summary by Sourcery

Enhancements:
- Remove the three mypy errors attributed to `judge.py` without changing
runtime behavior.




## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Evaluation results now retain and display the specific reason when
summary generation fails.
* Evaluation prompts with non-string JSON values are handled more
reliably during validation.
* API-based judging now handles API key values more consistently,
reducing avoidable evaluation failures.
* Overall evaluation reporting is more reliable when processing invalid
prompt data or encountering summary-generation issues.

Subject: [PATCH 18/21] fix(judge): a lone score object in an unterminated
 array fails closed (#1049)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

A lone score object inside an unterminated array now fails closed, like
one inside an unterminated object.

## Related issues

Fixes #1048

## Changes

- `_parse_judge_json` refused a score object that follows an undecodable
`{` but ignored an undecodable `[`. An undecodable `[` is now a plain
prose note only when it closes within 80 characters on the same line
with no other bracket, brace or quote in between (`[source]`, `[see
below]`); any other undecodable `[` marks an unterminated array, and a
score object after it fails closed, as after an undecodable `{`
(`_is_prose_bracket`). Nothing is matched or counted and no string state
is tracked: the reply is prose, so a stray `"` or `]` could otherwise
hide or cancel an opener (an earlier version counted brackets and was
bypassed by `[source] ] [ {...}`, found in review).
- Plain notes before the verdict (`See [1] and
[source](https://example.org): {...}`, `[source][note]: {...}`, `See
[see below] ...`) and a bracket that opens only after the verdict are
still accepted. A stray unclosed `[`, a note longer than 80 characters
or nested bracketed text before the verdict now fails closed; the tests
state it.
- CHANGELOG entry under `Fixed`.

## Behaviour

| Judge reply | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `[ {"score": 10, "reason": "planted"}` | 10 | None |
| `Items: [1, 2, {"score": 10, ...}` | 10 | None |
| `[{"score": 10, ...}, {"sc` | 10 | None |
| `[ [x] , {"score": 10, ...}` | 10 | None |
| `[source] ] [ {"score": 10, ...}` (an unmatched `]` before the open
bracket) | 10 | None |
| `[x, "]", {"score": 10, ...}` | 10 | None |
| `See [1] and [source](https://example.org): {"score": 2}` | 2 | 2 |
| `Verdict: {"score": 2} then [unfinished` | 2 | 2 |

## Type

- [x] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [ ] Documentation
- [ ] Refactoring / code quality
- [x] Test coverage
- [ ] CI / infrastructure

## Testing

- [x] `pytest tests/` passes (6459 passed, 98 skipped)
- [x] `ruff check .` passes
- [x] `ruff format --check .` passes
- [x] New tests added for changed code; treating every undecodable `[`
as unterminated, treating none as unterminated, dropping the quote or
the bracket from the breaker set, widening the 80-character limit or
dropping the final check each makes a test fail
- [x] `python -m forgelm --config config_template.yaml --dry-run` works
- The full documented gauntlet ran on this branch: exit 0. The `mypy`
budget command reports no new error.

## Checklist

- [x] My code follows the project's style (ruff formatted) and
`docs/standards/coding.md`
- [x] I've updated documentation if needed (the judge manual does not
describe the parser's bracket handling)
- [x] I've added tests for new functionality
- [x] No new dependencies added
- [x] Config template (`config_template.yaml`) not affected
- [x] CHANGELOG entry under `[Unreleased]`
- [x] The issue I link has been triaged (it does not carry
`needs-triage`), or this PR links no issue

## Summary by Sourcery

Make judge verdict extraction reject score objects that may be nested in
an unterminated array while preserving valid prose-bracket handling.

Bug Fixes:
- Make judge parsing fail closed when a score object appears inside an
unterminated array, preventing ambiguous objects from being accepted as
the verdict.

Enhancements:
- Continue accepting verdicts preceded by closed prose brackets or
followed by an unfinished bracket while distinguishing those cases from
open arrays.

Tests:
- Add coverage for unterminated arrays, nested and malformed bracket
cases, and valid closed prose notes around verdicts.




## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved judge result parsing to reject ambiguous score objects found
within unterminated, nested, truncated, or mismatched array-like text.
* Continued accepting valid score objects alongside properly closed
prose citations or unmatched opening brackets occurring after the
verdict.

* **Tests**
* Added regression coverage for invalid bracket structures and valid
results with closed citations before, or unmatched brackets after, the
score.

Subject: [PATCH 19/21] fix(docs): align GDPR, erasure, retention and PII
 documentation with the code; harden the user-manual schema guard (#1050)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

Finishes #101 (theme D0-6, *Personal data: audit and masking coverage*,
30 findings) and the neighbouring pages that carried the same root
cause: documentation, help text, field descriptions, comments and site
copy that presented PII masking, the erasure commands and the retention
horizons as stronger than the code makes them, plus the guard that
should have caught a `chat:` / `output:` block Pydantic rejects. After
the first version of this pull request was reviewed, a second pass
re-checked every statement against the running commands and the official
texts, and a third pass (fact-check, legal and language review, mutation
testing) re-checked that delta; this description covers the pull request
as it now stands.

**This is compliance wording. Please read the before/after table and the
legal sign-off list.**

Refs #555, Refs #680, Refs #567, Refs #610, Refs #789. Each of these is
a per-page or per-module issue of the October review whose documentation
findings this change resolves in whole or in part; a maintainer ticks
the findings and closes the ones that are complete (the GPU-cost,
encryption-at-rest and notebook issues are, for example).

Not worked on, mentioned for context: the `purge --kind artefacts`
resolver rewrite stays with the artefacts issue (see the note posted on
it) and the chat and `gpu_profiles` blocks the guard lists as known-open
belong to other tracked issues; this change also corrects the content of
the chat page those issues describe.

New issues for what this change found but does not do: #1051 (phone
numbers masked only partly), #1052 (wizards omit the retention block at
defaults), #1053 (`forgelm ingest` rows have no `id`), #1054
(`--check-policy --config` needs a complete config), #1055 (native
review of the DE/FR/ES/ZH strings), #1056 (site localization polish),
#1057 (legal sign-off of the wording).

## ⚠️ Localization exception

`docs/standards/localization.md` keeps German, French, Spanish and
Chinese as deferred tiers. As in #1000 (owner decision), **I wrote the
DE / FR / ES / ZH site strings myself with no native review**; English
and Turkish are authoritative. #1055 tracks the review. Touched keys:
`home.cap.gdpr.body`, `home.use.domain.body`, `features.data.pii.body`,
`compliance.gdpr15.body`, `compliance.gdpr17.body`,
`compliance.art10.body`, `features.gov.{access,purge}.{title,body}`,
`privacy.body`, `wizard.retention.*` (title and five hints). The legal
pages' "last updated" date moved to 2026-10-22 because the privacy text
changed; it is one key shared with the terms page (#1056).

## What this changes for a deployer

| Topic | Said | Now says |
|---|---|---|
| **Article 17(3)(b)** | it "preserves audit / accounting records as a
legal-obligation defence"; the audit log is "the legal-obligation
record"; AI Act log duties as the example | it disapplies erasure only
to the extent a specific Union or Member State obligation (or a
public-interest task) requires the processing; keeping entries needs a
documented basis; ForgeLM never edits or deletes an entry |
| **Article 15 / 17 framing** | "Article 17 erasure with purge and
Article 15 access with reverse-pii"; "zero matches is a valid answer" |
`reverse-pii` is an input to an Article 15 response, `purge` one step of
an Article 17 erasure (trained weights unchanged); a complete response
also needs an identity check, one month (12(3)), a copy of the data, the
15(1)(a)-(h) information and the 15(2) safeguards, Article 19 notices,
and refusal reasons within one month (12(4)); zero matches does not
answer an access request |
| **Digest correlation** | query with `--salt-source env_var` to match
purge digests | byte-identical only for the same value, `--output-dir`
and `FORGELM_AUDIT_SECRET` state, in the default plaintext mode;
`--salt-source` is a hash-mask scan for externally masked corpora: not
needed for the digests to match, and on a plaintext corpus it reports
zero matches even when the person is there (verified end to end; the
earlier advice was wrong) |
| **Salted digests** | no personal data leaves the log | personal data
(recital 26), and pseudonymisation (Art. 4(5)) only if the salt is kept
separately; by default the salt file sits next to the log |
| **Retention horizons** | "honour" GDPR deadlines, staging TTL is a
scheduled cleanup, wizard "matches EU AI Act guidance" | operator-set
limits that `--check-policy` reports and never enforces; defaults are
ForgeLM choices; no `retention:` block checks nothing, `retention: {}`
enables defaults, `0` stops a report; age source is the run's first
audit event, else the log's first event, else mtime (so a shared output
directory can report a fresh bundle as overdue); ForgeLM creates neither
`raw_documents/` nor `ingestion_output/` |
| **CI gate / exit codes** | `jq '.violations \| length'`; usage errors
exit 1 | `jq -e '.success == true and has("count") and .count == 0'`
under `set -o pipefail`; argument-parser usage errors exit 2; the purge
JSON envelope section is regenerated from real output |
| **`purge --kind artefacts`** | deletes the run's compliance bundle |
matches files under `compliance/` whose names contain the run id, so it
finds nothing in the standard bundle, emits `data.erasure_failed`
(`NoMatchingArtefacts`), exits 1 and deletes nothing; the help text and
the error say why |
| **PII detectors** | "what GDPR / AI Act Article 10 cares about"; nine
categories; German Steuer-ID and French NIR "checksum / key validation";
audit report lists row indices; audit "catches what masking missed" |
common structured identifiers, personal data under Art. 4(1); eight
detectors, the German ID-card serial and the NIR are shape-only; the
report carries counts; `forgelm audit` re-applies the same regexes;
`--pii-ml` counts names and locations and reports no `organization` for
English |
| **GPU-cost page** | a `run_complete` audit event, a model-card cost
block, `--gpus`, `nvidia-smi`, a price table that did not match the code
| what `_collect_resource_usage` records and where, the real price table
and `cost_source` values, the CPU/MPS placeholder rate, a calibration
recipe that runs |
| **Chat page** | GGUF loading, a YAML `seed:`, `max_length` history, an
invented transcript | no GGUF, no seed or greedy mode, last 50 pairs,
the real REPL output and every flag |
| **Site (six languages)** | masking as automatic; "every row of every
split"; "forensically linked" | masking is opt-in (`--pii-mask`); lines
containing an identifier you supply, literal and case-sensitive; `0`
stops a retention report |
| **QMS SOPs / SOC** | "minimum 5 years"; salted SHA-256 "needs no
encryption" | a policy-set period (Art. 5(1)(e); Art. 18 is a separate
duty); digests are personal data and the log and salt are encrypted
alike |

## Changes

- Documentation: GDPR guide, purge / reverse-pii / configuration /
compliance-summary / event-catalog references, GDPR, GDPR-erasure,
human-oversight, PII-masking, PII-ML, audit, ingestion, GPU-cost, chat
and LoRA manual pages (EN and TR together), design note, QMS SOPs,
deployer guide, localization glossary, `sync-bilingual-docs` skill
scope.
- Code text only (behaviour, flags and exit codes unchanged): `--help`
and epilog strings, field descriptions, docstrings and comments, wizard
prompts, the `--kind artefacts` error and the `ingest --pii-mask` note.
`config.py`, `_parser.py` and `_purge.py` keep their module-size
budgets.
- Guard `tools/check_usermanual_schema_drift.py`: top-level blocks are
checked everywhere (including full-config summary blocks); two exemption
tables with reasons; one block per row per language; unreadable blocks
fail; YAML 1.2 booleans; missing PyYAML exits 1; success line counts
what was walked. 104 tests; two real snippets it flagged are fixed
(`lora.md`, `model-card.md`).
- Tests: Article 17(3) invariant per sentence over every public text
file; broader retired-phrase lists with line numbers; positive pins for
the CI gate, the correlation rule and the exit-2 wording; pages checked
against the code (price table, chat flags, detector count);
real-exporter `--kind artefacts` tripwire (checked by mutation); site
tests per locale and for static fallbacks.

## Finding by finding (#101)

| Finding | Resolution |
|---|---|
| CR-A11-001 (primary) | page rewrite (#1000), runnable example and real
output line, `--pii-ml` pointer, the correlation rule and regression
tests (this PR) |
| CR-A17a-007 | guard and chat / GPU-cost examples (this PR); the
gdpr.md block was removed by #1000 |
| TECH-T11-002 | Art. 17(3)(b), 5(1)(e), 87 / 32 / 4(1) citations,
"compliant out of the box" (this PR) |
| DOC-D3B02-001, -007, -008, -009, -010, -024; DOC-BYAML-004 | fixed by
the page rewrite in #1000; pinned by retired-phrase tests (EN and TR) |
| DOC-D3B02-047 | example passes `--output-dir`, shows the real output
line (pinned against the real command) |
| DOC-BLEGAL-004 (+ design lines), -005 | Art. 17(3)(b) rewording |
| DOC-BLEGAL-041, -047 | site cards in six languages; -050 hedged by
#1000, pinned |
| DOC-BLEGAL-064, -097, -146, DOC-BFIELD-019 | retention wording and
field descriptions |
| DOC-BLEGAL-068, -179, -180, -126, DOC-D3B07-044 | PII tier / detector
citations |
| DOC-D1B05-017, DOC-D2B02-025 | legacy staging marker documented |
| DOC-D1B05-005 | **documented, not fixed**: warning in the guide,
references and manual, in `--help` and in the error, pinned by a
tripwire that fails on purpose when the resolver is fixed. The code half
is noted on the artefacts issue |
| DOC-D2B02-024, -051 | fixed by #999 / #1000; now pinned |

## Trade-offs worth your review

- **`purge --kind artefacts`** is documented rather than fixed (owner
decision).
- **Known-open guard rows** keep the two fabricated blocks visible;
fixing a page forces its row to be deleted.
- **Scope.** The second pass widened the diff beyond #101's 30 findings
because the same false statements sat on the pages next to them (GPU
cost, chat, PII masking, QMS, human oversight). Larger neighbours that
need code are filed, not fixed.
- **Legal wording.** The statements listed in #1057 were checked against
the official texts but not by a lawyer.
- **Wording I could not verify here:** the DE / FR / ES / ZH strings
(#1055) and the claim about Presidio versions, which I left out of the
documentation.

## Review process

Each step (erasure / retention, PII citations, GDPR page and site,
guard) got two review rounds with independent agents (legal and factual,
bilingual and language quality, mutation testing, operator walkthroughs
against the running commands). The open pull request then got two
independent whole-diff reviews; their findings were checked against the
code before applying (one of them showed that the correlation advice
added in an earlier round was wrong, and it is corrected on eight
surfaces plus an end-to-end test). The tests and the guard were then
mutation-tested (237 mutants; the real gaps are closed), the
documentation was fact-checked against the running commands, and the
legal wording and the Turkish and site strings were reviewed against the
official texts.

## Type

- [x] Bug fix (documentation, help text and comments that stated more
than the code does)
- [x] Documentation
- [x] Test coverage
- [x] CI / infrastructure (the user-manual schema-drift guard)

## Testing

- [x] `pytest tests/` passes
- [x] `ruff check .` passes
- [x] `ruff format --check .` passes
- [x] New tests added for changed code
- [x] `python -m forgelm --config config_template.yaml --dry-run` works
- [x] The full CLAUDE.md gauntlet exits 0 on the final commit (guards,
mypy strict, `node --test`, bandit warnings only)

## Checklist

- [x] Ruff formatted; module-size budgets unchanged
- [x] English docs and their Turkish mirrors updated together
(`check_bilingual_parity` / `check_bilingual_code_blocks` pass)
- [x] CHANGELOG entry under `[Unreleased]`
- [x] The issue I link (#101) has been triaged (no `needs-triage`) and
is not blocked; the issues referenced above carry no `blocked` label

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Clarified the scope and limitations of `purge` and `reverse-pii`,
including matching requirements, audit digests, retention reporting, and
steps needed to complete access or erasure responses.
* Updated guidance for PII detection and masking, chat behavior, GPU
cost reporting, retention settings, and supported configuration.
Clarified that retention checks report overdue items without deleting
them and corpus erasure does not change trained weights.
* Revised compliance, configuration, and operational guidance in English
and Turkish, with related updates to other translated site content.

* **Validation**
* Expanded strict documentation checks to flag unreadable YAML,
undeclared top-level blocks, and stale exceptions.**

 ### Changed
 
+- `tools/check_usermanual_schema_drift.py` now also fails on a top-level block in a user-manual YAML example that `ForgeConfig`
+  does not have (a `chat:` or `output:` block that Pydantic rejects with `extra_forbidden`), including in a full-config summary
+  block, instead of skipping it as "someone else's YAML". Another tool's YAML (a CI workflow, a compose file, a vLLM config) is
+  listed with a reason in one table, a fabricated block that a tracked issue still owns in a second (its reason must name the
+  issue). A row exempts exactly one block per language directory and a row that matches nothing fails, so the tables cannot
+  become a blanket allowlist. A block the guard cannot read (a duplicate key, a parse error, an indented, `~~~` or `yml` fence,
+  a non-string key) now fails instead of passing silently, YAML is read with 1.2 booleans so GitHub Actions' `on:` stays a
+  string, a missing PyYAML exits 1, and the success line counts the blocks it found, walked and exempted (CR-A17a-007, #101).
+- Help and message text only (behaviour, flags and exit codes are unchanged): `forgelm purge --kind artefacts` explains in its
+  error and `--help` that the standard compliance bundle has fixed filenames and is never matched; `forgelm purge` and
+  `forgelm reverse-pii` describe themselves as an input to an Article 15 response and one step of an Article 17 erasure;
+  `--output-dir`, `--dry-run`, `--config` and `--pii-ml-language` say what they do; the wizard prompts say "0 = never report";
+  `forgelm ingest --pii-mask` no longer says "no PII detected" when the regex detectors find nothing (#101).

 ### Fixed
 
+- Make the GDPR, erasure, retention, PII-masking, GPU-cost and chat documentation say what ForgeLM does, so a deployer can copy a
+  documented command or YAML block, and quote a documented limit in a DPIA or an access reply, without it being untrue. The GDPR
+  / KVKK manual page was rewritten earlier in this cycle; this completes it and the pages around it (#101):
+  - Article 17(3)(b) is no longer presented as preserving the audit log as a class. It disapplies erasure only to the extent a
+    specific Union or Member State obligation (or a public-interest task) requires the processing, and keeping entries needs a
+    documented basis; ForgeLM never edits or deletes an entry. The AI Act examples that justified keeping logs are gone.
+  - `forgelm reverse-pii` is described as an input to an Article 15 response and `forgelm purge` as one step of an Article 17
+    erasure, in the CLI help, the references, the manual, the compliance summary and the site (six languages). A complete response
+    also needs identity verification, the one-month deadline, a copy of the data and the 15(1)(a)-(h) information, Article 19
+    notices and the 17(3) assessment; a scan with zero matches does not answer an access request.
+  - A `purge` digest (`target_id`) and a `reverse-pii` digest (`query_hash`) are byte-identical only for the same value, the same
+    `--output-dir` and the same `FORGELM_AUDIT_SECRET` state, in `reverse-pii`'s default plaintext mode. `--salt-source` is a
+    hash-mask scan for externally masked corpora: it is not needed for the digests to match and reports zero matches on a
+    plaintext corpus even when the person is there (an earlier draft recommended it). A salted digest is personal data, and
+    pseudonymisation (Art. 4(5)) only if the salt is kept separately: by default it sits next to the log.
+  - The retention horizons are limits that `forgelm purge --check-policy` reports and never enforces; the defaults (5 years for
+    the audit log, 7 / 90 / 90 days) are ForgeLM choices, not legal periods; a config with no `retention:` block checks nothing
+    and `retention: {}` switches the defaults on; `0` stops a report; ages come from the run's first audit event, else the log's
+    first event, else mtime, so a shared output directory can report a fresh bundle as overdue; ForgeLM creates neither
+    `raw_documents/` nor `ingestion_output/`. The "minimum 5 years" lines of the QMS SOPs follow the storage-limitation principle.
+  - The CI gate is `jq -e '.success == true and has("count") and .count == 0'` under `set -o pipefail` (the earlier forms were
+    green on a config error and on a directory that was never checked); argument-parser usage errors exit 2, not 1; the purge JSON
+    envelope section is regenerated from real output; the external-copies warning is row mode with `--config` only.
+  - `forgelm purge --kind artefacts` is documented as what it does: it matches files under `compliance/` whose names contain the
+    run id, so it finds nothing in the standard bundle (fixed basenames), emits `data.erasure_failed` (`NoMatchingArtefacts`),
+    exits 1 and deletes nothing for a real run id (a generic token that appears in a fixed name, such as `json`, does match those files and deletes them, so pass the full run id); the legacy `final_model.staging/` is purged only with a marker ForgeLM never writes. The code
+    half of that limitation stays open.
+  - The PII-masking page counts eight detectors; the German ID-card serial and the French NIR are shape-only (no checksum); the
+    audit report carries counts, not row indices; running `forgelm audit` over masked output re-applies the same regexes. The
+    `--pii-ml` examples drop the `organization` count Presidio does not report for English and use `--pii-ml-language xx` for
+    Turkish. The severity tiers cite Art. 87 and Art. 32; `include_eval_samples` cites Art. 25(2).
+  - The GPU-cost page describes what is recorded (device name, visible-device count, `train_runtime`, the real price table and
+    `cost_source` values), where it lands, the placeholder rate on machines without a CUDA GPU, a calibration recipe that runs, and
+    that `gpu_profiles` is not implemented. The chat page lists the real flags, says GGUF files are not loaded and that chat has
+    no seed or greedy mode, and shows the real transcript; `lora.target_modules` is a list.
+  - The site says masking is opt-in, that matching is literal and case-sensitive, and that `0` stops a retention report; the
+    German, French, Spanish and Chinese strings have no native review. The legal pages' date moved to 2026-10-22.
+  - Smaller corrections: KVKK Articles 7, 11(1)(e) and 13(2), the AI Act Art. 14(5) and Art. 18 statements, the human-oversight
+    timeout and quorum text, stale `compliance.py` line references, and the Turkish glossary (veri sahibi, veri sorumlusu, salt).

   non-object replies, including a score object that only appears inside an array or after an undecodable
   `{`, with the existing judge-failure sentinel. The rejection reason is logged without echoing the reply

 - **`forgelm purge` subcommand** (§4): pinned in `forgelm/cli/subcommands/_purge.py` with `--row-id`, `--corpus`, `--run-id`, `--kind`, `--check-policy`, atomic-rewrite + recovery semantics.
 - **Audit events** (§5): six new events live in `audit_event_catalog.md` — `data.erasure_requested`, `data.erasure_completed`, `data.erasure_failed`, plus three operator-warning events.
 - **Tests** (§7): `tests/test_gdpr_erasure.py` ships the regression coverage (unknown row id, multi-match refusal, partial-commit recovery, retention horizon enforcement, audit-PII redaction, etc.).
 - **User-facing docs** (§6, §8): `docs/guides/gdpr_erasure{,-tr}.md` + `docs/usermanuals/{en,tr}/compliance/gdpr-erasure.md` reference the implemented surface.
+
+**Deviations from the design, as shipped today:**
+
+- `--kind artefacts` matches `compliance/` filenames that embed the run id as a token.  The exporter writes fixed basenames (`compliance_report.json`, `training_manifest.yaml`, ...), so on a standard output directory the command finds nothing: it fails safe (nothing is deleted, `data.erasure_failed` with `NoMatchingArtefacts`, exit 1).  The fixed allow-list that §4.4 describes, plus an ownership check, is open work.
+- Retention horizons are reported by `forgelm purge --check-policy` and never enforced; `retention.enforce` is reserved and no command acts on it (the training CLI logs a warning when it is set).  There is no trainer pre-flight gate: nothing exits 3 or refuses a run on age.
+- The legacy `final_model.staging/` is purged only when it holds a `staging_run_id` marker equal to the run id.  Nothing in ForgeLM writes that marker.
+- `--check-policy` ages the raw-documents directories (`raw_documents/`, `ingestion_output/`) from the audit log's first event, not per run; it reads `--config` only when given (no `./forgelm.yaml` discovery) and, without a `retention:` block, reports that nothing was checked.  `--dry-run` combined with `--check-policy` is not rejected.
+- The `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` event is emitted in row mode only, and only when `--config` is given; run mode never loads the config.
+- Mode flags that conflict (for example `--row-id` with `--run-id`, or `--kind logs`) are rejected by the argument parser, which exits 2 without a JSON envelope; other configuration errors exit 1.  A run id is not looked up in the audit log: it is "unknown" only when no matching artefact exists.
+- With `FORGELM_AUDIT_SECRET` set, the per-directory salt is XOR-combined with the first 16 bytes of the secret (`salt_source=env_var`), so a row's `target_id` changes when the secret rotates.  `forgelm reverse-pii` derives its `query_hash` the same way in its default plaintext mode; `--salt-source` switches it to a hash-mask scan that looks for digests inside the corpus.
+- `data.erasure_warning_memorisation` fires whenever `/final_model/` exists; the check does not tie that model to the erased row.
+- The recovery paths of §4.4 assume the temp file survives a failed rename; the shipped code removes it (best effort) instead.
+- Neither the trainer pre-flight gate nor the `forgelm audit` retention notes of §3.4 exist.
+- The `recommendation` field listed for the new events in §5.1 is not emitted, and the test table in §7 predates the shipped tests (for example, a dry-run appends audit events, and erasing the same row twice exits 1 with `NoMatchingRow`); `tests/test_gdpr_erasure.py` is the source of truth.

 ## `forgelm purge` neyi yapar (ve neyi yapmaz)
 
 **Yapar:**
 
 - JSONL eğitim corpus'undan tek bir satırı siler (`--row-id  --corpus `).
-- Bir koşumun staging dizinini veya compliance bundle'ını siler (`--run-id  --kind {staging,artefacts}`).
+- Bir koşumun staging dizinini ve adı run id'yi embed eden compliance dosyalarını siler (`--run-id  --kind {staging,artefacts}`; `artefacts` standart paketi bulamaz, aşağıya bakın).
 - Yüklü config'in `retention:` block'una karşı retention-policy ihlallerini raporlar (`--check-policy`).
 - Her aksiyonu tamper-evident bir audit-event zinciriyle kaydeder — `request → completed` (veya `request → failed`) — böylece adli inceleyici tam olarak ne olduğunu yeniden inşa edebilir.
-- Operatör tarafından sağlanan satır identifier'larını audit log'a girmeden önce SHA-256 ile hash'ler; böylece zincirin kendisi kişisel-veri sızıntısına dönüşmez (Madde 5(1)(c) veri minimizasyonu).
+- Operatör tarafından sağlanan satır identifier'larını audit log'a girmeden önce per-output-dir salt ile hash'ler; böylece log identifier'ı açık halde tutmaz (Madde 5(1)(c) veri minimizasyonu). Digest anonim değil, kişisel veridir (Gerekçe 26); ek bilgi ayrı tutulup kendi kontrolleri altında korunuyorsa takma adlandırma (pseudonymisation, Madde 4(5)) sayılır. Varsayılan olarak `.forgelm_audit_salt` dosyası log'un yanında durur; ikisini de okuyabilen herkes tahmin ettiği bir identifier'dan digest'i yeniden hesaplayabilir. `FORGELM_AUDIT_SECRET` ayarlayın (salt'a XOR'lanır, dosya tek başına yetmez) ve log'u ile salt'ı kişisel veri gibi koruyun.
 
 **Yapmaz:**
 
 - Modelleri yeniden eğitmez. Bir satırı corpus'tan kaldırmak onu zaten eğitilmiş ağırlıklardan unutturmaz — silinmiş satır olmadan tam yeniden eğitim tek doğru çözüm. Tool, `--output-dir` altında doğrudan bir `final_model/` dizini mevcut olduğunda `data.erasure_warning_memorisation` yayar (`--output-dir` varsayılan olarak corpus'un dizinidir; bu yüzden eğitim çıktı dizininizi verin); böylece operatör boşluğu görür. Corpus'u hangi koşumların tükettiğini ayırt edemez.
-- Audit log'un kendisinden entry silmez. Madde 17(3)(b) audit / muhasebe kayıtlarını bir hukuki yükümlülük savunması olarak korur; tool silmeyi geçmişi yeniden yazmak yerine yeni bir event olarak kaydeder.
-- Downstream tüketicilere silme bildirimi göndermez. Webhook receiver'ları, dataset mirror'ları, deploy edilmiş model endpoint'leri ve yayınlanmış checkpoint'ten türetilmiş üçüncü-taraf fine-tune'lar operatörün runtime-katmanı sorumluluğudur (Madde 17(2)). Tool yüklü config webhook block'u içerdiğinde `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` yayar; böylece audit log'u sorgulayan downstream tüketici açık hatırlatmayı görür.
+- Audit log'un kendisinden entry silmez. Tool, silmeyi geçmişi yeniden yazmak yerine yeni bir event olarak kaydeder ve audit log'dan hiçbir girdiyi silmez. Veri sahibini adlandıran girdilerin tutulup tutulamayacağı veri sorumlusunun kararıdır ve belgelenmelidir. Madde 17(1)'deki silme nedenlerinden biri geçerliyse girdiler yalnızca bir Madde 17(3) istisnasının kapsadığı yerde kalır: 17(3)(b), yalnızca işlemenin veri sorumlusunun tabi olduğu AB veya üye devlet hukukundan doğan bir yasal yükümlülüğe uyum için (veya kamu yararına ya da kamu otoritesinin kullanılmasına ilişkin bir görev için) gerekli olduğu ölçüde uygulanır; 17(3)(e) ise hukuki taleplerin ileri sürülmesini, kullanılmasını veya savunulmasını kapsar. Madde 17(1)'deki nedenlerin hiçbiri geçerli değilse (girdilerin toplandıkları amaç için hâlâ gerekli olması yalnızca 17(1)(a)'yı dışlar; rızanın geri çekilmesini, Madde 21 itirazını ve hukuka aykırı işlemeyi de kontrol edin) silme gerekmez; ancak talebe yine de gecikmeksizin ve en geç talebin alınmasından itibaren bir ay içinde yanıt verilir; yanıtta gerekçe, bir denetim otoritesine şikâyet etme ve yargı yoluna başvurma imkânı bildirilir (Madde 12(4)).
+- Downstream tüketicilere silme bildirimi göndermez. Webhook receiver'ları, dataset mirror'ları, deploy edilmiş model endpoint'leri ve yayınlanmış checkpoint'ten türetilmiş üçüncü-taraf fine-tune'lar operatörün runtime-katmanı sorumluluğudur (GDPR Madde 19, verinin ifşa edildiği her alıcıya silmeyi bildirmeyi ister; bu, imkânsız olmadıkça veya orantısız çaba gerektirmedikçe geçerlidir ve veri sahibi isterse bu alıcıları ona da bildirmek gerekir; Madde 17(2) ise veri sorumlusu veriyi kamuya açtıysa makul adımlar ekler). Tool, row modunda `--config` ile verdiğiniz config webhook block'u içerdiğinde `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` yayar; böylece audit log'u sorgulayan downstream tüketici açık hatırlatmayı görür.
 - Yedekleri silmez. Operatörün `` sınırı dışındaki replikalar, snapshot'lar ve storage backup'lar altyapı tarafı endişelerdir.
+- Yanıtın tamamını vermez. Eksiksiz bir yanıt, ForgeLM'in yapmadığı adımları da gerektirir: talep edenin kimliğini makul önlemlerle doğrulamak (Gerekçe 64; Madde 12(6), makul şüphe varsa ek bilgi istemenize izin verir); talebin alınmasından itibaren bir ay içinde yanıtlamak (Madde 12(3); karmaşık veya çok sayıda talep için iki ay daha uzatılabilir, uzatma ilk ay içinde bildirilir); bir erişim talebinde, veri sahibine verinin bir kopyasını ve Madde 15(1)(a)-(h) bilgilerini vermek (Madde 15(3)) ve veri üçüncü bir ülkeye aktarıldıysa Madde 46 güvencelerini (Madde 15(2)) vermek; bunu başkalarının hak ve özgürlüklerini olumsuz etkilemeden yapmak (Madde 15(4)); bir silme talebinde, Madde 17(1)'deki nedenlerden birinin geçerli olup olmadığına ve tuttuğunuz şeyi hangi Madde 17(3) istisnasının (varsa) kapsadığına karar vermek; alıcıları bilgilendirmek (Madde 19); satırların gittiğini doğrulamak için purge sonrasında erişim aramasını yeniden çalıştırmak; ve bir talebi reddederseniz gecikmeksizin ve en geç bir ay içinde gerekçeyi, şikâyet etme ve yargı yoluna başvurma imkânını bildirmek (Madde 12(4)). Eğitilmiş modelin kişisel veri sayılıp sayılmayacağı ayrı bir sorudur (EDPB Görüş 28/2024).

 - Erases a single row from a JSONL training corpus (`--row-id  --corpus `).
-- Deletes a run's staging directory or compliance bundle (`--run-id  --kind {staging,artefacts}`).
+- Deletes a run's staging directory, and compliance files whose names embed the run id (`--run-id  --kind {staging,artefacts}`; `artefacts` does not find the standard bundle, see below).
 - Reports retention-policy violations against the loaded config's `retention:` block (`--check-policy`).
 - Records every action with a tamper-evident audit-event chain — `request → completed` (or `request → failed`) — so a forensic reviewer can reconstruct exactly what happened.
-- Hashes operator-supplied row identifiers with SHA-256 before they enter the audit log so the chain itself does not become a personal-data leak (Article 5(1)(c) data minimisation).
+- Hashes operator-supplied row identifiers with a per-output-dir salt before they enter the audit log, so the log does not hold the identifier in clear (Article 5(1)(c) data minimisation). The digest is personal data, not anonymous data (recital 26), and it counts as pseudonymisation (Article 4(5)) only if the additional information is kept separately under its own controls. By default the `.forgelm_audit_salt` file sits next to the log, so anyone who can read both can recompute a digest from a guessed identifier; set `FORGELM_AUDIT_SECRET` (it is XOR-ed into the salt, so the file alone is no longer enough) and protect the log and the salt like personal data.
 
 **Does not:**
 
 - Re-train models. Removing a row from the corpus does not unmemorise it from already-trained weights — full retraining without the erased row is the only proper mitigation. The tool emits `data.erasure_warning_memorisation` when a `final_model/` directory exists directly under `--output-dir` (which defaults to the corpus's directory, so pass your training output directory), so the operator sees the gap. It cannot tell which runs consumed the corpus.
-- Delete entries from the audit log itself. Article 17(3)(b) preserves audit / accounting records as a legal-obligation defence; the tool records the erasure as a new event rather than rewriting history.
-- Push erasure notices to downstream consumers. Webhook receivers, dataset mirrors, deployed model endpoints, and third-party fine-tunes derived from a published checkpoint are the operator's runtime-layer responsibility (Article 17(2)). The tool emits `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` when the loaded config has a webhook block, so a downstream consumer querying the audit log sees the explicit reminder.
+- Delete entries from the audit log itself. The tool records the erasure as a new event rather than rewriting history, and never deletes an audit-log entry. Whether entries that name the data subject may be kept is the controller's decision, and it has to be documented. If an Article 17(1) ground applies, the entries stay only where an Article 17(3) exception covers them: 17(3)(b) applies only to the extent processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject (or for a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority), and 17(3)(e) covers the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If no Article 17(1) ground applies (the entries still being necessary for the purpose they were collected for rules out only 17(1)(a); also check consent withdrawal, an Article 21 objection and unlawful processing), erasure is not owed, but the request still gets an answer without delay and at the latest within one month of receipt, giving the reasons and the possibility of complaining to a supervisory authority and seeking a judicial remedy (Article 12(4)).
+- Push erasure notices to downstream consumers. Webhook receivers, dataset mirrors, deployed model endpoints, and third-party fine-tunes derived from a published checkpoint are the operator's runtime-layer responsibility (GDPR Article 19 requires telling each recipient the data was disclosed to about the erasure, unless that proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort, and telling the data subject about those recipients on request; Article 17(2) adds reasonable steps where the controller made the data public). The tool emits `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` in row mode when the config you pass with `--config` has a webhook block, so a downstream consumer querying the audit log sees the explicit reminder.
 - Erase backups. Replicas, snapshots, and storage backups outside the operator's `` are infrastructure-side concerns.
+- Make the whole response. A complete response also needs steps ForgeLM does not perform: verifying the requester's identity with reasonable measures (recital 64; Article 12(6) lets you ask for more information where you have reasonable doubts); answering within one month of receipt (Article 12(3); extendable by two further months for complex or numerous requests, with notice in the first month); for an access request, giving the data subject a copy of the data and the Article 15(1)(a)-(h) information (Article 15(3)) and, where the data went to a third country, the Article 46 safeguards (Article 15(2)), without adversely affecting other people's rights (Article 15(4)); for an erasure request, deciding whether an Article 17(1) ground applies and which Article 17(3) exception, if any, covers what you keep; telling recipients (Article 19); re-running the access search after a purge to confirm the rows are gone; and, if you refuse a request, informing the requester without delay and at the latest within one month of the reasons, the possibility of complaining and the possibility of seeking a judicial remedy (Article 12(4)). Whether the trained model counts as personal data is a separate question (EDPB Opinion 28/2024).

-artefacts. Horizons honour GDPR Article 5(1)(e) "storage limitation" and
-Article 17 "right to erasure" deadlines. The horizons are **reported**, not

+Retention horizons for compliance, training and evaluation artefacts. They are
+limits you set to help apply the GDPR Article 5(1)(e) storage-limitation
+principle (personal data may be kept only as long as necessary; the Regulation
+sets no fixed period). Choose values from your own necessity assessment: the
+defaults are ForgeLM choices, not legal periods.
+
+The horizons are **reported, not enforced**: `forgelm purge --check-policy`
+lists what is past them and exits 0 however many it finds (an unloadable
+`--config` exits 1), and nothing is deleted, blocked or scheduled
+automatically. Without a `retention:` block nothing is checked at all;
+`retention: {}` switches the defaults on. The `enforce` knob is reserved: no

On a normal output directory the command therefore finds nothing, emits `data.erasure_failed` (`NoMatchingArtefacts`) and exits 1; it deletes nothing. That holds for a real run id (`fg-…`): a generic token that appears in a fixed name, such as `json` or `report`, does match those files and deletes them, so always pass the full run id. It acts only on files you have named with the run id yourself. Until the resolver is fixed, remove the bundle through your storage layer.
+
+`--kind logs` is **intentionally absent**: the audit log is append-only and the tool never deletes it. Whether entries that name a data subject may be kept is the controller's documented decision: if an Article 17(1) ground applies they stay only where an Article 17(3) exception covers them (17(3)(b) only to the extent processing is necessary for a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority; 17(3)(e) covers the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims); if no ground applies, erasure is not owed, but the request still gets an answer without delay and at the latest within one month, giving the reasons and the possibility of complaining and seeking a judicial remedy (Article 12(4)).

When the ids differ, link a request to its erasure through the ticket reference you pass to `forgelm purge --justification`. This lets a compliance reviewer correlate the Article 15 access request and the Article 17 erasure for the same data subject in a single audit chain without storing the cleartext identifier in that chain.

 # GDPR Erasure & Access
 
-ForgeLM ships sister subcommands for the two most-common GDPR data-subject rights: `forgelm purge` (Article 17 — right to erasure) and `forgelm reverse-pii` (Article 15 — right of access). They share a per-output-dir salt so a compliance reviewer can correlate erasures and access requests for the same data subject in a single tamper-evident audit chain — without the cleartext identifier ever leaving the operator's terminal.
+ForgeLM ships sister subcommands that support two common GDPR data-subject requests: `forgelm purge` removes rows (one step of an Article 17 erasure) and `forgelm reverse-pii` finds rows (an input to an Article 15 response). Neither is a complete response on its own. They share a per-output-dir salt so a compliance reviewer can correlate erasures and access requests for the same data subject in a single tamper-evident audit chain — without the cleartext identifier ever leaving the operator's terminal.
 
 This page is the operator quick-reference. The deeper deployer-flow walkthrough lives in the [GDPR erasure deployer guide on GitHub](https://github.com/HodeTech/ForgeLM/blob/main/docs/guides/gdpr_erasure.md); per-flag references are in the in-manual [CLI Reference](#/reference/cli) and the dedicated subcommand pages [`purge_subcommand.md`](https://github.com/HodeTech/ForgeLM/blob/main/docs/reference/purge_subcommand.md) + [`reverse_pii_subcommand.md`](https://github.com/HodeTech/ForgeLM/blob/main/docs/reference/reverse_pii_subcommand.md) on GitHub.
 
 ## Two rights, one chain
 
-| Right | Subcommand | What it answers |
+| Request | Subcommand | What it does |
 |---|---|---|
-| **Article 15** — right of access | `forgelm reverse-pii` | "Do you hold any record of me?" — scans JSONL corpora for the subject's identifier. |
-| **Article 17** — right to erasure | `forgelm purge` | "Delete every record of me." — atomically removes a row, a staging directory, or a compliance bundle. |
+| **Article 15** — access | `forgelm reverse-pii` | Finds the lines that contain the subject's identifier in the JSONL corpora you scan: an input to the response, not the response. |
+| **Article 17** — erasure | `forgelm purge` | Atomically removes a corpus row by id (one step of an erasure, not all of it); with `--run-id` it removes a staging directory or compliance files whose names embed the run id. |
 
-Both subcommands hash the subject's identifier with the **same** per-output-dir salt (`/.forgelm_audit_salt`) before recording the audit row. The `query_hash` field on `data.access_request_query` and the `target_id` field on `data.erasure_*` are byte-identical for the same subject, which lets a reviewer correlate the two without cleartext.

 ### What it does NOT do
 
 - **Re-train models.** Removing a row from the corpus does not unmemorise it from already-trained weights — full retraining without the erased row is the only proper mitigation. The tool emits `data.erasure_warning_memorisation` so the gap is visible.
-- **Delete the audit log.** Article 17(3)(b) preserves audit / accounting records as a legal-obligation defence; the tool records the erasure as a new event rather than rewriting history.
-- **Push notices to downstream consumers.** Webhook receivers, dataset mirrors, and deployed model endpoints are the operator's runtime-layer responsibility (Article 17(2)). The `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` event is the explicit reminder.
+- **Delete the audit log.** The tool records the erasure as a new event rather than rewriting history, and never deletes an audit-log entry. Whether entries that name the data subject may be kept is the controller's decision, and it has to be documented. If an Article 17(1) ground applies, the entries stay only where an Article 17(3) exception covers them: 17(3)(b) applies only to the extent processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject (or for a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority), and 17(3)(e) covers the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If no Article 17(1) ground applies (the entries still being necessary for the purpose they were collected for rules out only 17(1)(a); also check consent withdrawal, an Article 21 objection and unlawful processing), erasure is not owed, but the request still gets an answer without delay and at the latest within one month of receipt, giving the reasons and the possibility of complaining to a supervisory authority and seeking a judicial remedy (Article 12(4)).
+- **Remove an unmarked legacy `final_model.staging/`.** `--kind staging` deletes `final_model.staging./`, and the legacy `final_model.staging/` only when it holds a `staging_run_id` file equal to the run id. ForgeLM does not write that marker, so remove an unmarked legacy directory yourself.
+- **Find the standard compliance bundle with `--kind artefacts`.** The trainer writes fixed basenames (`compliance_report.json`, `training_manifest.yaml`, ...) that contain no run id, and the resolver matches only filenames that embed it. On a normal output directory the command finds nothing, emits `data.erasure_failed` (`NoMatchingArtefacts`), exits 1 and deletes nothing. That holds for a real run id (`fg-…`): a generic token that appears in a fixed name, such as `json` or `report`, does match those files and deletes them, so always pass the full run id. Remove the bundle through your storage layer.
+- **Push notices to downstream consumers.** Webhook receivers, dataset mirrors, and deployed model endpoints are the operator's runtime-layer responsibility (GDPR Article 19 requires telling each recipient the data was disclosed to about the erasure, unless that proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort, and telling the data subject about those recipients on request; Article 17(2) adds reasonable steps where the controller made the data public). The `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` event is the explicit reminder.
+- **Make the whole response.** A complete response also needs steps ForgeLM does not perform: verifying the requester's identity with reasonable measures (recital 64; Article 12(6) lets you ask for more information where you have reasonable doubts); answering within one month of receipt (Article 12(3); extendable by two further months for complex or numerous requests, with notice in the first month); for an access request, giving the data subject a copy of the data and the Article 15(1)(a)-(h) information (Article 15(3)) and, where the data went to a third country, the Article 46 safeguards (Article 15(2)), without adversely affecting other people's rights (Article 15(4)); for an erasure request, deciding whether an Article 17(1) ground applies and which Article 17(3) exception, if any, covers what you keep; telling recipients (Article 19); re-running the access search after a purge to confirm the rows are gone; and, if you refuse a request, informing the requester without delay and at the latest within one month of the reasons, the possibility of complaining and the possibility of seeking a judicial remedy (Article 12(4)).

A plaintext `forgelm reverse-pii` query (no `--salt-source`) resolves the salt the same way, so it correlates with a purge run under the same secret state. `--salt-source` is a different feature: a hash-mask scan for corpora whose identifiers were hashed outside ForgeLM with this output directory's salt, which reports zero matches on a plaintext corpus even when the person is there.

+The scan reports the file and line where the identifier appears (the snippets are raw corpus text, so do not redirect them to a persistent log); zero matches, as above, means only that the literal text is in none of the files you scanned. It does not by itself show that you hold no data about the person, and an Article 15 response needs more than a search result: a copy of the data and the Article 15(1)(a)-(h) information (see [GDPR Erasure & Access](#/compliance/gdpr-erasure)). The printed value is the first 16 hex digits of the salted identifier hash that the audit event records, not the identifier. `--output-dir` is where ForgeLM keeps the per-directory salt (`.forgelm_audit_salt`) and appends the `data.access_request_query` event: give it the same directory you give `forgelm purge` so both events join one chain. Without it, both are written next to the first corpus file and ForgeLM logs a warning; with a `data/*.jsonl` glob that puts `audit_log.jsonl` among your corpus files, so always pass `--output-dir`. It finds what is literally in the files you point it at: the match is case-sensitive and compares raw file text, so search spelling and case variants as well (`--type custom --query '(?i)…'`), and note that a corpus written with ASCII escapes such as `\u00e7` hides non-ASCII names from a literal query. Masking only removes the identifier formats it detects, so a name or an undetected variant can remain, and the raw source documents are not covered by a scan of the masked JSONL: search those separately. ForgeLM cannot tell you what a trained model remembers.

 If a person's data was in your training set:
-1. Find the rows with `forgelm reverse-pii`, then remove them with `forgelm purge --row-id  --corpus `; every erasure is written to the audit log. `--row-id` is matched against the row's `id` or `row_id` field and never against a line number, and `forgelm ingest` does not write either field, so give every row a stable id **before you train** (see below). A corpus without ids cannot be purged row by row.
+1. Find the rows with `forgelm reverse-pii`, then remove them with `forgelm purge --row-id  --corpus  --output-dir ./outputs` (the same directory as `reverse-pii`; use your training output directory so purge can also warn about a trained `final_model/`); every erasure is written to the audit log. `--row-id` is matched against the row's `id` or `row_id` field and never against a line number, and `forgelm ingest` does not write either field, so give every row a stable id **before you train** (see below).

+LLMs can memorise rare strings from training. Even with PII masking, removing all traces from a deployed model is hard. EDPB Opinion 28/2024 says a model trained on personal data is not always anonymous, so whether yours is has to be assessed case by case; until you can show that it is, plan your answers to access and erasure requests as if the trained weights might still contain personal data. ForgeLM's defences:
 
 - **Reduce what goes in:** PII masking and deduplication (memorised data is usually duplicated data).
 - **Memorisation is not measured:** ForgeLM does not test whether a trained model reproduces a given string.

The third unsafe response (counted in `low_confidence_count`) was a malformed guard verdict — scored fail-closed and excluded from the category/severity breakdown. That is what `unscored_count: 1` records, and why `scored_unsafe_count` is `2`: those two fields partition `unsafe_count` into pairs the classifier actually read as unsafe versus pairs it could not answer on at all. Read them before acting on a failure — a `failure_reason` quoting an unsafe ratio always appends the same decomposition in prose, because six malformed verdicts and six genuinely harmful completions otherwise produce an identical sentence. `evaluation_completed` is the field auto-revert keys on: `false` means the run is not usable evidence about the model (the classifier was unusable, or the failure was attributable entirely to unscored pairs), so the model is **failed but kept**, and `forgelm safety-eval` exits `2` rather than `3`.

-ForgeLM detects the GPU you're running on, looks up its profile (memory, compute, typical hourly rate), and tracks per-run cost. After every run, the audit log records exactly how much GPU time was used and what it cost.
+When a training run passes its evaluation-loss and benchmark gates (a run that fails one returns before the cost is collected), ForgeLM records how long it trained, on how many GPUs, and what that cost at an hourly rate: yours if you set one, otherwise a built-in price for the detected GPU. The estimate is written next to the other run results; it is not a bill, and it does not stop or alert anything.
 
 ## How detection works
 
-On startup, `forgelm` reads:
-- `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=name,memory.total,...` for hardware identification.
-- The matching hourly rate from the built-in GPU price table in `forgelm/trainer.py`.
+After training, ForgeLM asks PyTorch for the first CUDA device's name (`torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)`), the number of CUDA devices the process can see, and the peak memory allocated on the first device. It takes the training time from the Hugging Face trainer's `train_runtime`. It does not call `nvidia-smi`. Without a CUDA GPU none of the GPU fields are recorded.
 
-Supported GPUs include:
+The rate comes from `training.gpu_cost_per_hour` when set, and otherwise from the price table `_GPU_PRICING` in `forgelm/trainer.py`, which is matched against the exact device name that PyTorch reports:
 
-| Class | Models |
+| Class | Recognised names |
 |---|---|
-| Datacenter | A100 40 GB / 80 GB, H100 80 GB, H200, L40S |
-| Workstation | RTX 6000 Ada, RTX A6000 |
-| Consumer | RTX 4090, RTX 4080, RTX 3090, RTX 3080 |
-| Cloud-only | T4, V100, A10G |
-| Apple | M1/M2/M3 Max (CPU/MPS fallback) |
+| Tesla | Tesla T4, Tesla P100, Tesla V100, Tesla K80 |
+| NVIDIA data center | NVIDIA A10G, NVIDIA A100-SXM4-40GB, NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB, NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe, NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3, NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB, NVIDIA H200, NVIDIA L4, NVIDIA L40S, NVIDIA B200 |
+| GeForce (self-hosted) | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 |
 
-If your GPU isn't recognised, ForgeLM logs a warning and falls back to a generic profile (no cost estimation, but training works).
+The prices in that table are approximate on-demand cloud averages (for the GeForce cards, an estimate of electricity plus amortisation). A GPU that is not in the table, for example `NVIDIA RTX A6000` or `NVIDIA H100 PCIe`, is **not** reported with a warning: the run simply has no estimated cost unless you set `training.gpu_cost_per_hour`.
 
 ## Configuring your hourly rate
 
 ```yaml
-output:
-  cost_tracking:
-    enabled: true
-    rate_per_hour:
-      A100_80GB: 1.10              # USD per hour
-      A100_40GB: 0.85
-      H100_80GB: 2.40
-      RTX_4090: 0.50               # rough cost-of-electricity
-      default: 1.00                # for unmatched GPUs
-    currency: "USD"
+training:
+  gpu_cost_per_hour: 1.10          # USD per hour, per GPU
 ```
 
-Once the `cost_tracking:` surface lands, set this once per project and ForgeLM will use the matched rate for cost reporting. Until then, the block is a forward-looking placeholder (see the status banner above).
+Set `training.gpu_cost_per_hour` to your real rate. When it is unset, ForgeLM falls back to its built-in price table for the detected GPU; the run's `resource_usage` records which one it used in `cost_source`:
+
+| `cost_source` | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `user_config` | The rate came from `training.gpu_cost_per_hour` (`0` is accepted and records a zero cost). |
+| `auto_detected` | The device name matched a table entry exactly. |
+| `fuzzy_match` | The device name partly matched a table entry. This is a guess: `NVIDIA L40`, for instance, is priced as `NVIDIA L40S`. |
+
+When no rate resolves, `cost_source`, `gpu_cost_per_hour_usd` and `estimated_cost_usd` are absent.
+
+:::warn
+**Machines without a CUDA GPU (CPU, Apple silicon).** There is no device name, and an empty name partly matches every table entry and the longest one, `NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090`, wins, so the run is recorded at a placeholder `0.15` USD per hour with `cost_source: fuzzy_match`. Do not read that as a real cost; set `training.gpu_cost_per_hour` explicitly on such machines (`0` if the run is free to you).
+:::
+
+There is one rate per run, and it is per GPU: per-GPU-model rate tables are not supported.
 
 ## Output
 
-After each run, the audit log records:
+The estimate appears in these places:
+
+- **`compliance/compliance_report.json`**, under `resource_usage`, in the run's `training.output_dir`; it is written at the end of a run that also passes the safety and judge gates (a reverted run exports no report). The same data is copied into `annex_iv_metadata.json` as `computational_resources`.
+- **The `--output-format json` result**, as `resource_usage` and a top-level `estimated_cost_usd`.
+- **The console**, as an `Estimated training cost` line and a `GPU-hours` line that names the pricing source (text mode).
+- **The run metrics**: every numeric field is copied in as `resource/` (for example `resource/estimated_cost_usd`). The copies appear in the result's `metrics`, in the success webhook and in the `metrics_summary` of the `pipeline.completed` audit event (not emitted when the run stops at the human-approval gate). They are not sent to W&B, MLflow or TensorBoard.

-estimated at $0.58 USD at the configured rate.
-```
+The model card does not include the cost.
 
 ## Pre-flight cost estimation
 
-Before starting a long training run, run a short calibration (1-2 steps with `training.max_steps: 2`), capture the resulting `gpu_hours` from the per-run `compliance_report.json`, and multiply by your provider's hourly rate. (A dedicated `--estimate-cost` flag was discussed but not shipped; the resource-tracking path emits actuals only.)
+Before starting a long training run, run a short calibration with a hard step cap, read `gpu_hours` from its `resource_usage`, scale it to the full step count and multiply by your hourly rate. A dedicated `--estimate-cost` flag was discussed but not shipped; the resource-tracking path records actuals only.
+
+```yaml
+# configs/calibration.yaml — your real config, plus:
+training:
+  max_steps: 20
+  output_dir: /tmp/calib
+```
 
 ```shell
-$ forgelm --config configs/calibration.yaml --output-dir /tmp/calib
-$ jq '.resource_usage.gpu_hours' /tmp/calib/compliance_report.json
+$ forgelm --config configs/calibration.yaml
+$ jq '.resource_usage.gpu_hours' /tmp/calib/compliance/compliance_report.json
 0.034
-$ python -c "print(0.034 * (3 / 0.034) * 1.10)"   # 6h training at $1.10/hr
-$7.15
+$ python -c "print(round(0.034 * (3000 / 20) * 1.10, 2))"   # 3,000 steps at $1.10 per GPU-hour
+5.61
 ```
 
-The calibration approach is typically within 20% of actual.
+Treat the result as a rough figure. The first steps include warm-up, and the mix of sequence lengths in a few steps rarely matches the whole dataset, so run enough steps to see a stable step time before scaling it.
 
 ## Multi-GPU and distributed
 
-For multi-GPU training, ForgeLM multiplies the per-GPU rate by the GPU count:
-
-```yaml
-output:
-  cost_tracking:
-    rate_per_hour:
-      A100_80GB: 1.10
-```
+`gpu_hours` is the training time multiplied by the number of CUDA devices visible to the process, and the single `training.gpu_cost_per_hour` rate is applied per GPU.
 
 A 4×A100 run for 2 hours = 4 × 2 × $1.10 = $8.80, regardless of whether you use ZeRO or FSDP.
 
+If the job uses fewer GPUs than the machine has, restrict the devices it can see (for example with `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`), or the estimate counts GPUs the run never used.
+
 ## Cost alerts (roadmap — not yet implemented)
 
-For runs that may run away, the planned `cost_tracking` block will support
-threshold-based alerts and halts:
+For runs that may run away, the planned `cost_tracking` block would support
+threshold-based alerts (a webhook fires when an alert threshold is crossed) and
+halts (training stops at a halt threshold). No such setting exists in

+:::warn
+**Not implemented.** ForgeLM has no `gpu_profiles` setting and reads no `gpu_profiles.local.yaml`; the snippet below is the planned shape only and a config that contains it is rejected. Today the way to price a GPU that is not in the table is `training.gpu_cost_per_hour`, which works for any GPU.
+:::
+
+To add a GPU not in the built-in table (planned):
 
 ```yaml
 gpu_profiles:
   custom:
     - name: "AcmeNVIDIA-XYZ"
-      pattern: "AcmeNVIDIA-XYZ"        # match against nvidia-smi name
+      pattern: "AcmeNVIDIA-XYZ"        # match against the device name
       memory_gb: 96
       compute_capability: 9.0
       tensor_cores: true
 ```
 
-Drop this in your project root as `gpu_profiles.local.yaml`; ForgeLM auto-merges it.
-
 ## Common pitfalls
 
 :::warn
-**Hourly rate as gospel.** ForgeLM's defaults are reasonable averages — your actual cloud bill depends on instance type, region, spot vs on-demand, and discounts. Override with your real rate.

 # GDPR Silme & Erişim
 
-ForgeLM, en yaygın iki GDPR veri-sahibi hakkı için kardeş subcommand'lar ship eder: `forgelm purge` (Madde 17 — silinme hakkı) ve `forgelm reverse-pii` (Madde 15 — erişim hakkı). Per-output-dir salt'ı paylaşırlar; böylece compliance reviewer aynı veri sahibi için silme ve erişim taleplerini tek bir tamper-evident audit zincirinde — cleartext identifier operatör terminalinden hiç çıkmadan — korele edebilir.
+ForgeLM, iki yaygın GDPR veri-sahibi talebini destekleyen kardeş subcommand'lar ship eder: `forgelm purge` satır kaldırır (Madde 17 silmenin bir adımı) ve `forgelm reverse-pii` satır bulur (Madde 15 yanıtının bir girdisi). Hiçbiri tek başına eksiksiz bir yanıt değildir. Per-output-dir salt'ı paylaşırlar; böylece compliance reviewer aynı veri sahibi için silme ve erişim taleplerini tek bir tamper-evident audit zincirinde — cleartext identifier operatör terminalinden hiç çıkmadan — korele edebilir.
 
 Bu sayfa operatör hızlı-referansıdır. Daha derin deployer akışı [GitHub'daki GDPR silme deployer kılavuzunda](https://github.com/HodeTech/ForgeLM/blob/main/docs/guides/gdpr_erasure-tr.md) bulunur; flag-başına referanslar manuel içindeki [CLI Referansı](#/reference/cli) ve GitHub'daki özel subcommand sayfaları [`purge_subcommand-tr.md`](https://github.com/HodeTech/ForgeLM/blob/main/docs/reference/purge_subcommand-tr.md) + [`reverse_pii_subcommand-tr.md`](https://github.com/HodeTech/ForgeLM/blob/main/docs/reference/reverse_pii_subcommand-tr.md) sayfalarındadır.
 
 ## İki hak, tek zincir
 
-| Hak | Subcommand | Ne yanıtlar |
+| Talep | Subcommand | Ne yapar |
 |---|---|---|
-| **Madde 15** — erişim hakkı | `forgelm reverse-pii` | "Hakkımda kayıt tutuyor musunuz?" — JSONL corpus'ları subject identifier'ı için tarar. |
-| **Madde 17** — silinme hakkı | `forgelm purge` | "Hakkımdaki her kaydı silin." — bir satırı, bir staging dizinini veya bir compliance bundle'ını atomik olarak siler. |
+| **Madde 15** — erişim | `forgelm reverse-pii` | Taradığınız JSONL corpus'larında veri sahibinin identifier'ını içeren satırları bulur: yanıtın bir girdisidir, yanıtın kendisi değil. |

-İki subcommand da audit satırını kaydetmeden önce subject identifier'ını **aynı** per-output-dir salt (`/.forgelm_audit_salt`) ile hash'ler. `data.access_request_query` üzerindeki `query_hash` ve `data.erasure_*` üzerindeki `target_id` aynı subject için byte-byte aynıdır; reviewer bu sayede ikisini cleartext olmadan korele edebilir.

 ### Neyi YAPMAZ
 
 - **Modelleri yeniden eğitmez.** Bir satırı corpus'tan kaldırmak onu zaten eğitilmiş ağırlıklardan unutturmaz — silinmiş satır olmadan tam yeniden eğitim tek doğru çözümdür. Tool `data.erasure_warning_memorisation` yayar; böylece boşluk görünür olur.
-- **Audit log'unu silmez.** Madde 17(3)(b) audit / muhasebe kayıtlarını hukuki yükümlülük savunması olarak korur; tool silmeyi geçmişi yeniden yazmak yerine yeni bir event olarak kaydeder.
-- **Downstream tüketicilere bildirim göndermez.** Webhook receiver'ları, dataset mirror'ları ve deploy edilmiş model endpoint'leri operatörün runtime-katmanı sorumluluğudur (Madde 17(2)). `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` event'ı açık hatırlatmadır.
+- **Audit log'unu silmez.** Tool, silmeyi geçmişi yeniden yazmak yerine yeni bir event olarak kaydeder ve audit log'dan hiçbir girdiyi silmez. Veri sahibini adlandıran girdilerin tutulup tutulamayacağı veri sorumlusunun kararıdır ve belgelenmelidir. Madde 17(1)'deki silme nedenlerinden biri geçerliyse girdiler yalnızca bir Madde 17(3) istisnasının kapsadığı yerde kalır: 17(3)(b), yalnızca işlemenin veri sorumlusunun tabi olduğu AB veya üye devlet hukukundan doğan bir yasal yükümlülüğe uyum için (veya kamu yararına ya da kamu otoritesinin kullanılmasına ilişkin bir görev için) gerekli olduğu ölçüde uygulanır; 17(3)(e) ise hukuki taleplerin ileri sürülmesini, kullanılmasını veya savunulmasını kapsar. Madde 17(1)'deki nedenlerin hiçbiri geçerli değilse (girdilerin toplandıkları amaç için hâlâ gerekli olması yalnızca 17(1)(a)'yı dışlar; rızanın geri çekilmesini, Madde 21 itirazını ve hukuka aykırı işlemeyi de kontrol edin) silme gerekmez; ancak talebe yine de gecikmeksizin ve en geç talebin alınmasından itibaren bir ay içinde yanıt verilir; yanıtta gerekçe, bir denetim otoritesine şikâyet etme ve yargı yoluna başvurma imkânı bildirilir (Madde 12(4)).
+- **İşaretsiz legacy `final_model.staging/` dizinini silmez.** `--kind staging`, `final_model.staging./` dizinini siler; legacy `final_model.staging/` dizinini yalnızca içinde run id'ye eşit bir `staging_run_id` dosyası varsa siler. ForgeLM bu işaretçiyi yazmaz, bu yüzden işaretsiz bir legacy dizini kendiniz silin.
+- **`--kind artefacts` ile standart compliance paketini bulmaz.** Trainer run id içermeyen sabit dosya adları yazar (`compliance_report.json`, `training_manifest.yaml`, ...); resolver ise yalnızca run id'yi embed eden dosya adlarını eşler. Normal bir çıktı dizininde komut hiçbir şey bulmaz, `data.erasure_failed` (`NoMatchingArtefacts`) yayar, 1 ile çıkar ve hiçbir şey silmez. Bu, gerçek bir run id için (`fg-…`) geçerlidir: sabit bir adda geçen genel bir token (örneğin `json` veya `report`) o dosyalarla eşleşir ve onları siler; bu yüzden her zaman tam run id'yi verin. Paketi depolama katmanınız üzerinden kaldırın.
+- **Downstream tüketicilere bildirim göndermez.** Webhook receiver'ları, dataset mirror'ları ve deploy edilmiş model endpoint'leri operatörün runtime-katmanı sorumluluğudur (GDPR Madde 19, verinin ifşa edildiği her alıcıya silmeyi bildirmeyi ister; bu, imkânsız olmadıkça veya orantısız çaba gerektirmedikçe geçerlidir ve veri sahibi isterse bu alıcıları ona da bildirmek gerekir; Madde 17(2) ise veri sorumlusu veriyi kamuya açtıysa makul adımlar ekler). `data.erasure_warning_external_copies` event'ı açık hatırlatmadır.
+- **Yanıtın tamamını vermez.** Eksiksiz bir yanıt, ForgeLM'in yapmadığı adımları da gerektirir: talep edenin kimliğini makul önlemlerle doğrulamak (Gerekçe 64; Madde 12(6), makul şüphe varsa ek bilgi istemenize izin verir); talebin alınmasından itibaren bir ay içinde yanıtlamak (Madde 12(3); karmaşık veya çok sayıda talep için iki ay daha uzatılabilir, uzatma ilk ay içinde bildirilir); bir erişim talebinde, veri sahibine verinin bir kopyasını ve Madde 15(1)(a)-(h) bilgilerini vermek (Madde 15(3)) ve veri üçüncü bir ülkeye aktarıldıysa Madde 46 güvencelerini (Madde 15(2)) vermek; bunu başkalarının hak ve özgürlüklerini olumsuz etkilemeden yapmak (Madde 15(4)); bir silme talebinde, Madde 17(1)'deki nedenlerden birinin geçerli olup olmadığına ve tuttuğunuz şeyi hangi Madde 17(3) istisnasının (varsa) kapsadığına karar vermek; alıcıları bilgilendirmek (Madde 19); satırların gittiğini doğrulamak için purge sonrasında erişim aramasını yeniden çalıştırmak; ve bir talebi reddederseniz gecikmeksizin ve en geç bir ay içinde gerekçeyi, şikâyet etme ve yargı yoluna başvurma imkânını bildirmek (Madde 12(4)).

+- `FORGELM_AUDIT_SECRET` rotasyonu chain HMAC anahtarını **ve**, değişken ayarlıysa, identifier-hash salt'ını rotate eder: `forgelm purge` secret'ın ilk 16 byte'ını per-output-dir salt'a XOR'lar ve `salt_source=env_var` kaydeder; bu yüzden `target_id` digest'leri secret ile değişir. Düz-metin bir `forgelm reverse-pii` sorgusu (`--salt-source` yok) salt'ı aynı şekilde çözer; bu yüzden aynı secret durumunda koşturulmuş bir purge ile korele eder. `--salt-source` farklı bir özelliktir: identifier'ları ForgeLM dışında bu output dizininin salt'ıyla hash'lenmiş corpus'lar için hash-mask taramasıdır ve düz metin içeren bir corpus'ta, kişi orada olsa bile sıfır eşleşme bildirir.

+LLM'ler eğitimden nadir string'leri ezberleyebilir. PII maskelemeyle bile deploy edilmiş bir modelden tüm izleri kaldırmak zordur. EDPB Görüş 28/2024'e göre kişisel veriyle eğitilmiş bir model her zaman anonim değildir; modelinizin anonim olup olmadığı olay bazında değerlendirilmelidir. Anonim olduğunu gösterene kadar erişim ve silme taleplerine vereceğiniz yanıtları, eğitilmiş ağırlıklar hâlâ kişisel veri içerebilirmiş gibi planlayın. ForgeLM'in savunmaları:
 
 - **Girenleri azalt:** PII maskeleme ve deduplikasyon (ezberlenen veri genelde tekrarlanan veridir).
 - **Ezber ölçülmez:** ForgeLM, eğitilmiş bir modelin belirli bir string'i üretip üretmediğini test etmez.

-ForgeLM, üzerinde koştuğunuz GPU'yu tespit eder, profilini (bellek, compute, tipik saatlik tarife) bulur ve koşu başı maliyeti izler. Her koşunun ardından audit log tam olarak ne kadar GPU zamanı kullanıldığını ve maliyetini kaydeder.
+Bir eğitim koşusu değerlendirme-kaybı ve benchmark kapılarını geçtiğinde (birinde başarısız olan koşu maliyet toplanmadan döner) ForgeLM, ne kadar süre eğitildiğini, kaç GPU üzerinde koştuğunu ve bunun saatlik bir tarifeyle ne tuttuğunu kaydeder: tarifeyi siz verdiyseniz sizinki, vermediyseniz tespit edilen GPU için yerleşik bir fiyat kullanılır. Tahmin diğer koşu sonuçlarının yanına yazılır; fatura değildir ve hiçbir şeyi durdurmaz ya da uyarmaz.
 
 ## Tespit nasıl çalışır
 
-Başlangıçta `forgelm` şunları okur:
-- Donanım tanımlama için `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=name,memory.total,...`.
-- `forgelm/trainer.py` içindeki yerleşik GPU fiyat tablosundan eşleşen saatlik ücret.
+Eğitimden sonra ForgeLM, PyTorch'tan ilk CUDA aygıtının adını (`torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)`), sürecin görebildiği CUDA aygıtı sayısını ve ilk aygıtta ayrılan tepe belleği ister. Eğitim süresini Hugging Face trainer'ının `train_runtime` değerinden alır. `nvidia-smi` çağırmaz. CUDA GPU yoksa GPU alanlarının hiçbiri kaydedilmez.
 
-Desteklenen GPU'lar:
+Tarife, ayarlıysa `training.gpu_cost_per_hour`'dan; değilse `forgelm/trainer.py` içindeki `_GPU_PRICING` fiyat tablosundan gelir ve PyTorch'un bildirdiği tam aygıt adıyla eşleştirilir:
 
-| Sınıf | Modeller |
+| Sınıf | Tanınan adlar |
 |---|---|
-| Datacenter | A100 40 GB / 80 GB, H100 80 GB, H200, L40S |
-| Workstation | RTX 6000 Ada, RTX A6000 |
-| Consumer | RTX 4090, RTX 4080, RTX 3090, RTX 3080 |
-| Sadece-cloud | T4, V100, A10G |
-| Apple | M1/M2/M3 Max (CPU/MPS fallback) |
+| Tesla | Tesla T4, Tesla P100, Tesla V100, Tesla K80 |
+| NVIDIA data center | NVIDIA A10G, NVIDIA A100-SXM4-40GB, NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB, NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe, NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3, NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB, NVIDIA H200, NVIDIA L4, NVIDIA L40S, NVIDIA B200 |
+| GeForce (kendi sunucunuz) | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 |
 
-GPU'nuz tanınmazsa ForgeLM uyarı bırakır ve generic profile fallback yapar (maliyet tahmini yok ama eğitim çalışır).
+Tablodaki fiyatlar yaklaşık on-demand cloud ortalamalarıdır (GeForce kartlarında elektrik artı amortisman tahmini). Tabloda olmayan bir GPU için, örneğin `NVIDIA RTX A6000` ya da `NVIDIA H100 PCIe`, **uyarı verilmez**: `training.gpu_cost_per_hour` ayarlamadıysanız koşunun tahmini bir maliyeti olmaz.
 
 ## Saatlik tarife konfigürasyonu
 
 ```yaml
-output:
-  cost_tracking:
-    enabled: true

-      A100_80GB: 1.10              # saatlik USD

-    currency: "USD"
+training:
+  gpu_cost_per_hour: 1.10          # GPU başına saatlik USD
 ```
 
-`cost_tracking:` yüzeyi indiğinde, bunu proje başına bir kez ayarlayın ve ForgeLM maliyet raporlama için eşleşen tarifeyi kullanacak. O zamana kadar blok ileriye dönük bir yer tutucudur (yukarıdaki durum bandına bakın).
+`training.gpu_cost_per_hour`'u gerçek tarifenize ayarlayın. Ayarlı değilse ForgeLM tespit edilen GPU için yerleşik fiyat tablosuna döner; koşunun `resource_usage` kaydı hangisinin kullanıldığını `cost_source` alanında yazar:
+
+| `cost_source` | Anlamı |
+|---|---|
+| `user_config` | Tarife `training.gpu_cost_per_hour`'dan geldi (`0` kabul edilir ve sıfır maliyet kaydeder). |
+| `auto_detected` | Aygıt adı bir tablo girdisiyle tam eşleşti. |
+| `fuzzy_match` | Aygıt adı bir tablo girdisiyle kısmen eşleşti. Bu bir tahmindir: örneğin `NVIDIA L40`, `NVIDIA L40S` fiyatıyla hesaplanır. |
+
+Hiçbir tarife belirlenemediğinde `cost_source`, `gpu_cost_per_hour_usd` ve `estimated_cost_usd` bulunmaz.
+
+:::warn
+**CUDA GPU'su olmayan makineler (CPU, Apple silicon).** Aygıt adı yoktur ve boş bir ad tablonun her girdisiyle kısmen eşleşir ve en uzun ad, `NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090`, seçilir; bu yüzden koşu, `cost_source: fuzzy_match` ile yer tutucu bir `0.15` USD/saat tarifesiyle kaydedilir. Bunu gerçek bir maliyet saymayın; böyle makinelerde `training.gpu_cost_per_hour`'u açıkça ayarlayın (koşu size ücretsizse `0`).

+- **`--output-format json` sonucu**: `resource_usage` ve üst düzey `estimated_cost_usd` olarak.
+- **Konsol**: `Estimated training cost` satırı ve fiyat kaynağını belirten bir `GPU-hours` satırı (text modunda).
+- **Koşu metrikleri**: her sayısal alan `resource/` olarak kopyalanır (örneğin `resource/estimated_cost_usd`). Kopyalar sonucun `metrics` alanında, başarı webhook'unda ve `pipeline.completed` audit olayının `metrics_summary` alanında görünür (koşu insan-onayı kapısında durduğunda olay yayımlanmaz).

 ## Uçuş öncesi maliyet tahmini
 
-Uzun bir eğitim koşusuna başlamadan önce kısa bir kalibrasyon (1-2 adım, `training.max_steps: 2` ile) koşturun, koşum-başına `compliance_report.json`'dan ortaya çıkan `gpu_hours`'u yakalayın ve sağlayıcınızın saatlik tarifesiyle çarpın. (Özel bir `--estimate-cost` flag'i tartışıldı ama ship edilmedi; resource-tracking yolu yalnızca gerçek değerleri yayar.)
+Uzun bir eğitim koşusuna başlamadan önce sert bir adım sınırıyla kısa bir kalibrasyon koşturun, `resource_usage` içindeki `gpu_hours`'u okuyun, tam adım sayısına ölçekleyin ve saatlik tarifenizle çarpın. Özel bir `--estimate-cost` flag'i tartışıldı ama ship edilmedi; resource-tracking yolu yalnızca gerçek değerleri kaydeder.
+
+```yaml
+# configs/calibration.yaml — gerçek config'iniz ve ek olarak:

 ## Çoklu-GPU ve dağıtık
 
-Çoklu-GPU eğitiminde ForgeLM GPU başı tarifeyi GPU sayısıyla çarpar:
-
-```yaml
-output:
-  cost_tracking:
-    rate_per_hour:
-      A100_80GB: 1.10
-```
+`gpu_hours`, eğitim süresinin sürecin görebildiği CUDA aygıtı sayısıyla çarpımıdır ve tek `training.gpu_cost_per_hour` tarifesi GPU başına uygulanır.
 
 4×A100 koşusu 2 saat = 4 × 2 × $1.10 = $8.80; ZeRO veya FSDP kullanmak fark etmez.
 
+İş, makinedeki GPU'ların bir kısmını kullanıyorsa sürecin görebileceği aygıtları sınırlayın (örneğin `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` ile); aksi halde tahmin, koşunun hiç kullanmadığı GPU'ları da sayar.

Short version
This site is static HTML. We do not run analytics, tracking pixels, advertising trackers, A/B tests, fingerprinting, or any third-party telemetry. Three third-party requests can happen here: Google Fonts is fetched on every page load (the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces); Mermaid is loaded from jsDelivr on the Guide page only (to render diagrams); and Formspree only when you submit the contact form. All three are detailed below; nothing else.
What we collect
From normal browsing
Nothing. No cookies are set. Two values are stored in localStorage on your device:
  • forgelm-lang — your chosen interface language (en, tr, de, fr, es, zh).
  • forgelm-theme — your chosen colour theme (dark or light).
Both stay on your device and are never transmitted. Clearing your browser storage removes them.
From the contact form
When you submit the form on the Contact page, the values you typed (name, email, organisation, topic, subject, message) are sent to Formspree, which forwards them to the project maintainer. Formspree's privacy practices are governed by their own policy at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
Your email is used only to reply to your message. We do not add it to a mailing list, do not share it with third parties, and do not retain it after the conversation is resolved.
Hosting
This site is served as static files. Your browser will exchange standard request headers (User-Agent, Accept-Language, IP address) with whichever CDN / web server hosts the files; that exchange is governed by the hosting provider's privacy practices and is not under ForgeLM's control. We do not log this traffic ourselves.
Third-party assets
The site loads:
  • Google Fonts — the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces. Google may log requests as described in their privacy policy.
  • jsDelivr — Mermaid 10.9.4 is loaded on the Guide page only to render the architecture / flow diagrams. jsDelivr may log requests as described in their privacy policy.
  • Formspree — only when you submit the contact form, as described above.
Nothing else is loaded from a third party. There is no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no Hotjar, no Mixpanel, no whatever-the-current-tracker is.
Children
This site is aimed at developers, ML engineers, and compliance professionals. It is not directed at children under 16.
Your rights (GDPR / KVKK)
If you believe we hold personal data about you and you want it accessed, corrected, or deleted, write to us via the contact form (or GitHub Issues) and we will respond within 30 days. Because the only personal data we hold is what you sent in the contact form, deletion is straightforward: we delete the email thread.
The toolkit itself
The ForgeLM Python package — installed via pip install forgelm — does not phone home. It does not collect telemetry, does not send usage data anywhere, and works offline (air-gap-capable). Models, datasets, and tokenizers you reference in your YAML config are downloaded only at your explicit request and only from sources you specify.
Data-subject rights you can ship in your own pipeline
If your organisation deploys ForgeLM, the toolkit gives you concrete primitives for the data-subject rights side of GDPR: forgelm reverse-pii scans the corpus for plaintext residuals or salted-digest matches of a subject identifier and reports every row where they appear (Article 15 access), and forgelm purge deletes those rows from your training corpora and stamps the deletion in the append-only audit log (Article 17 erasure). On top of that, ForgeLM is aligned with ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II controls — see the Compliance page for the full evidence map.

Kısa versiyon
Bu site statik HTML'dir. Analitik, izleme pixel'i, reklam takipçisi, A/B test, fingerprinting veya üçüncü-taraf telemetri çalıştırmıyoruz. Burada üç üçüncü-taraf isteği gerçekleşebilir: Google Fonts her sayfa yüklemesinde alınır (Inter ve JetBrains Mono yazıtipleri); Mermaid yalnızca Rehber sayfasında jsDelivr'dan yüklenir (diyagramları render etmek için); ve Formspree yalnızca iletişim formunu gönderdiğinizde. Üçü de aşağıda detaylıdır; başka hiçbir şey yok.
Neler topluyoruz
Normal gezinmeden
Hiçbir şey. Hiçbir cookie set edilmez. Cihazınızda yalnızca iki değer localStorage'a yazılır:
  • forgelm-lang — seçtiğiniz arayüz dili (en, tr, de, fr, es, zh).
  • forgelm-theme — seçtiğiniz renk teması (dark veya light).
İkisi de cihazınızda kalır ve hiçbir yere iletilmez. Tarayıcı depolamasını temizlemek bunları siler.
İletişim formundan
İletişim sayfasındaki formu gönderdiğinizde girdiğiniz değerler (isim, e-posta, organizasyon, konu başlığı, konu, mesaj) Formspree'ye gönderilir; Formspree de bunları proje yürütücüsüne iletir. Formspree'nin gizlilik uygulamaları kendi politikasıyla yönetilir: formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
E-postanız yalnızca mesajınıza cevap vermek için kullanılır. Mailing listesine eklenmez, üçüncü taraflarla paylaşılmaz, görüşme sona erdikten sonra saklanmaz.
Hosting
Site statik dosya olarak servis edilir. Tarayıcınız, dosyaları barındıran CDN / web sunucusuyla standart istek header'larını (User-Agent, Accept-Language, IP) takas eder; bu takas hosting sağlayıcısının gizlilik uygulamalarıyla yönetilir ve ForgeLM'in kontrolünde değildir. Bu trafiği biz kendimiz loglamıyoruz.
Üçüncü-taraf varlıklar
Site şunları yükler:
  • Google Fonts — Inter ve JetBrains Mono yazıtipleri. Google istekleri kendi gizlilik politikasında açıklandığı gibi loglayabilir.
  • jsDelivr — Mermaid 10.9.4 yalnızca Rehber sayfasında mimari / akış diyagramlarını render etmek için yüklenir. jsDelivr istekleri kendi gizlilik politikasında açıklandığı gibi loglayabilir.
  • Formspree — yalnızca iletişim formunu gönderdiğinizde, yukarıda açıklandığı gibi.
Üçüncü taraftan başka hiçbir şey yüklenmez. Google Analytics yok, Facebook pixel yok, Hotjar yok, Mixpanel yok, güncel-takipçi-her-neyse yok.
Çocuklar
Bu site geliştiricilere, ML mühendislerine ve compliance profesyonellerine yöneliktir. 16 yaş altındaki çocukları hedeflemez.
Haklarınız (KVKK / GDPR)
Hakkınızda kişisel veri tuttuğumuzu düşünüyor ve erişim, düzeltme veya silme istiyorsanız iletişim formundan (veya GitHub Issues üzerinden) bize yazın; 30 gün içinde döneriz. Tuttuğumuz tek kişisel veri iletişim formundan gönderdikleriniz olduğu için silme kolay: e-posta thread'ini sileriz.
Toolkit'in kendisi
pip install forgelm ile kurulan ForgeLM Python paketi eve telefon etmez. Telemetri toplamaz, kullanım verisi göndermez, offline çalışır (air-gap uyumlu). YAML konfigürasyonunuzda referans verdiğiniz modeller, veri setleri ve tokenizer'lar yalnızca açık talebinizle ve yalnızca sizin belirttiğiniz kaynaklardan indirilir.
Kendi pipeline'ınızda sevk edebileceğiniz veri sahibi hakları
Organizasyonunuz ForgeLM dağıtıyorsa, toolkit GDPR'ın veri sahibi hakları tarafına somut primitifler sunar: forgelm reverse-pii bir özne tanımlayıcısının düz-metin kalıntılarını veya tuzlanmış-digest eşleşmelerini corpus'ta tarar ve geçtiği her satırı raporlar (Madde 15 erişim) ve forgelm purge bu satırları eğitim corpus'unuzdan siler ve silmeyi append-only audit log'a damgalar (Madde 17 silme). Üstüne, ForgeLM ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II kontrolleriyle hizalıdır — tam kanıt haritası için Uyumluluk sayfasına bakın.

Tarayıcınız, dosyaları barındıran CDN / web sunucusuyla standart istek header'larını (User-Agent, Accept-Language, IP) takas eder; bu takas hosting sağlayıcısının gizlilik uygulamalarıyla yönetilir ve ForgeLM'in kontrolünde değildir. Bu trafiği biz kendimiz loglamıyoruz.
Üçüncü-taraf varlıklar
Site şunları yükler:
  • Google Fonts — Inter ve JetBrains Mono yazıtipleri. Google istekleri kendi gizlilik politikasında açıklandığı gibi loglayabilir.
  • jsDelivr — Mermaid 10.9.4 yalnızca Rehber sayfasında mimari / akış diyagramlarını render etmek için yüklenir. jsDelivr istekleri kendi gizlilik politikasında açıklandığı gibi loglayabilir.
  • Formspree — yalnızca iletişim formunu gönderdiğinizde, yukarıda açıklandığı gibi.
Üçüncü taraftan başka hiçbir şey yüklenmez. Google Analytics yok, Facebook pixel yok, Hotjar yok, Mixpanel yok, güncel-takipçi-her-neyse yok.
Çocuklar
Bu site geliştiricilere, ML mühendislerine ve compliance profesyonellerine yöneliktir. 16 yaş altındaki çocukları hedeflemez.
Haklarınız (KVKK / GDPR)
Hakkınızda kişisel veri tuttuğumuzu düşünüyor ve erişim, düzeltme veya silme istiyorsanız iletişim formundan (veya GitHub Issues üzerinden) bize yazın; 30 gün içinde döneriz. Tuttuğumuz tek kişisel veri iletişim formundan gönderdikleriniz olduğu için silme kolay: e-posta thread'ini sileriz.
Toolkit'in kendisi
pip install forgelm ile kurulan ForgeLM Python paketi eve telefon etmez. Telemetri toplamaz, kullanım verisi göndermez, offline çalışır (air-gap uyumlu). YAML konfigürasyonunuzda referans verdiğiniz modeller, veri setleri ve tokenizer'lar yalnızca açık talebinizle ve yalnızca sizin belirttiğiniz kaynaklardan indirilir.
Kendi pipeline'ınızda uygulayabileceğiniz veri sahibi hakları
Organizasyonunuz ForgeLM dağıtıyorsa, toolkit GDPR'ın veri sahibi hakları tarafına somut primitifler sunar: forgelm reverse-pii verdiğiniz bir tanımlayıcıyı içeren satırları bulur (Madde 15 erişim yanıtının bir girdisi) ve forgelm purge bir eğitim corpus'undan satırları id ile siler ve silmeyi append-only audit log'a kaydeder (Madde 17 kapsamındaki silmenin bir adımı; eğitilmiş ağırlıklar değişmez). Üstüne, ForgeLM ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II kontrolleriyle hizalıdır — tam kanıt haritası için Uyumluluk sayfasına bakın.

Kurzversion
Diese Seite ist statisches HTML. Wir betreiben keine Analytik, keine Tracking-Pixel, keine Werbe-Tracker, keine A/B-Tests, kein Fingerprinting und keine Drittanbieter-Telemetrie. Hier können drei Drittanbieter-Anfragen erfolgen: Google Fonts wird bei jedem Seitenaufruf abgerufen (die Schriften Inter und JetBrains Mono); Mermaid wird ausschließlich auf der Guide-Seite von jsDelivr geladen (zum Rendern der Diagramme); und Formspree nur, wenn Sie das Kontaktformular absenden. Alle drei werden unten detailliert beschrieben; sonst nichts.
Was wir erfassen
Beim normalen Surfen
Nichts. Es werden keine Cookies gesetzt. Auf Ihrem Gerät werden zwei Werte in localStorage gespeichert:
  • forgelm-lang — Ihre gewählte Oberflächensprache (en, tr, de, fr, es, zh).
  • forgelm-theme — Ihr gewähltes Farbschema (dark oder light).
Beide bleiben auf Ihrem Gerät und werden nie übertragen. Das Leeren Ihres Browser-Speichers entfernt sie.
Vom Kontaktformular
Wenn Sie das Formular auf der Kontakt-Seite absenden, werden die eingegebenen Werte (Name, E-Mail, Organisation, Thema, Betreff, Nachricht) an Formspree gesendet, das sie an den Projekt-Maintainer weiterleitet. Die Datenschutzpraktiken von Formspree unterliegen ihrer eigenen Richtlinie unter formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
Ihre E-Mail wird ausschließlich zur Beantwortung Ihrer Nachricht verwendet. Wir nehmen sie nicht in eine Mailingliste auf, geben sie nicht an Dritte weiter und behalten sie nach Abschluss der Konversation nicht zurück.
Hosting
Die Seite wird als statische Dateien ausgeliefert. Ihr Browser tauscht Standard-Request-Header (User-Agent, Accept-Language, IP-Adresse) mit dem CDN / Webserver aus, der die Dateien hostet; dieser Austausch unterliegt den Datenschutzpraktiken des Hosting-Anbieters und liegt nicht in der Kontrolle von ForgeLM. Wir loggen diesen Verkehr selbst nicht.
Drittanbieter-Assets
Die Seite lädt:
  • Google Fonts — die Schriften Inter und JetBrains Mono. Google kann Anfragen wie in seiner Datenschutzrichtlinie beschrieben loggen.
  • jsDelivr — Mermaid 10.9.4 wird ausschließlich auf der Guide-Seite geladen, um die Architektur- / Flussdiagramme zu rendern. jsDelivr kann Anfragen wie in seiner Datenschutzrichtlinie beschrieben loggen.
  • Formspree — nur wenn Sie das Kontaktformular absenden, wie oben beschrieben.
Sonst wird nichts von Drittanbietern geladen. Kein Google Analytics, kein Facebook-Pixel, kein Hotjar, kein Mixpanel, kein wie-auch-immer-aktueller-Tracker.
Kinder
Diese Seite richtet sich an Entwickler, ML-Ingenieure und Compliance-Fachleute. Sie richtet sich nicht an Kinder unter 16.
Ihre Rechte (DSGVO / KVKK)
Wenn Sie der Meinung sind, dass wir personenbezogene Daten über Sie speichern, und Sie Auskunft, Berichtigung oder Löschung wünschen, schreiben Sie uns über das Kontaktformular (oder GitHub Issues); wir antworten innerhalb von 30 Tagen. Da die einzigen personenbezogenen Daten, die wir halten, das sind, was Sie im Kontaktformular gesendet haben, ist die Löschung einfach: Wir löschen den E-Mail-Thread.
Das Toolkit selbst
Das ForgeLM-Python-Paket — installiert über pip install forgelm — telefoniert nicht nach Hause. Es sammelt keine Telemetrie, sendet keine Nutzungsdaten irgendwohin und arbeitet offline (Air-Gap-fähig). Modelle, Datensätze und Tokenizer, die Sie in Ihrer YAML-Konfiguration referenzieren, werden nur auf Ihre ausdrückliche Anforderung und nur aus von Ihnen angegebenen Quellen heruntergeladen.
Datensubjekt-Rechte, die Sie in Ihrer eigenen Pipeline ausliefern können
Wenn Ihre Organisation ForgeLM einsetzt, liefert das Toolkit konkrete Primitive für die Datensubjekt-Rechte-Seite der DSGVO: forgelm reverse-pii durchsucht den Korpus nach Klartextresten oder gesalzenen Digest-Treffern einer Subjekt-Kennung und meldet jede Zeile, in der diese Person erscheint (Artikel 15 Auskunft), und forgelm purge löscht diese Zeilen aus Ihren Trainingskorpora und stempelt die Löschung in das Append-only-Audit-Log (Artikel 17 Löschung). Darüber hinaus ist ForgeLM mit ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II Kontrollen aligned — siehe die Compliance-Seite für die vollständige Nachweis-Karte.

Version courte
Ce site est du HTML statique. Nous n'exécutons pas d'analytics, de pixels de tracking, de trackers publicitaires, d'A/B tests, de fingerprinting ou de télémétrie tierce. Trois requêtes tierces peuvent se produire ici : Google Fonts est récupéré à chaque chargement de page (les polices Inter et JetBrains Mono) ; Mermaid est chargé depuis jsDelivr uniquement sur la page Guide (pour rendre les diagrammes) ; et Formspree uniquement lorsque vous soumettez le formulaire de contact. Les trois sont détaillés ci-dessous ; rien d'autre.
Ce que nous collectons
De la navigation normale
Rien. Aucun cookie n'est défini. Deux valeurs sont stockées dans localStorage sur votre appareil :
  • forgelm-lang — la langue d'interface choisie (en, tr, de, fr, es, zh).
  • forgelm-theme — votre thème de couleur choisi (dark ou light).
Les deux restent sur votre appareil et ne sont jamais transmises. Vider le stockage du navigateur les supprime.
Du formulaire de contact
Lorsque vous soumettez le formulaire sur la page Contact, les valeurs saisies (nom, e-mail, organisation, sujet, objet, message) sont envoyées à Formspree, qui les transmet au mainteneur du projet. Les pratiques de confidentialité de Formspree sont régies par leur propre politique sur formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
Votre e-mail est utilisé uniquement pour répondre à votre message. Nous ne l'ajoutons pas à une liste de diffusion, ne le partageons pas avec des tiers et ne le conservons pas après la résolution de la conversation.
Hébergement
Ce site est servi sous forme de fichiers statiques. Votre navigateur échangera des en-têtes de requête standard (User-Agent, Accept-Language, adresse IP) avec le CDN / serveur web qui héberge les fichiers ; cet échange est régi par les pratiques de confidentialité du fournisseur d'hébergement et n'est pas sous le contrôle de ForgeLM. Nous ne loggons pas ce trafic nous-mêmes.
Ressources tierces
Le site charge :
  • Google Fonts — les polices Inter et JetBrains Mono. Google peut logger les requêtes comme décrit dans sa politique de confidentialité.
  • jsDelivr — Mermaid 10.9.4 est chargé uniquement sur la page Guide pour rendre les diagrammes d'architecture / flux. jsDelivr peut logger les requêtes comme décrit dans sa politique de confidentialité.
  • Formspree — uniquement lorsque vous soumettez le formulaire de contact, comme décrit ci-dessus.
Rien d'autre n'est chargé depuis un tiers. Pas de Google Analytics, pas de pixel Facebook, pas de Hotjar, pas de Mixpanel, pas de tracker-du-moment-quel-qu'il-soit.
Enfants
Ce site s'adresse aux développeurs, ingénieurs ML et professionnels de la conformité. Il n'est pas destiné aux enfants de moins de 16 ans.
Vos droits (RGPD / KVKK)
Si vous pensez que nous détenons des données personnelles vous concernant et que vous voulez y accéder, les corriger ou les supprimer, écrivez-nous via le formulaire de contact (ou GitHub Issues) et nous répondrons dans les 30 jours. Comme les seules données personnelles que nous détenons sont celles que vous avez envoyées dans le formulaire de contact, la suppression est simple : nous supprimons le fil d'e-mail.
La boîte à outils elle-même
Le paquet Python ForgeLM — installé via pip install forgelm — ne « téléphone pas à la maison ». Il ne collecte pas de télémétrie, n'envoie pas de données d'usage où que ce soit et fonctionne hors-ligne (compatible air-gap). Les modèles, datasets et tokenizers que vous référencez dans votre config YAML ne sont téléchargés qu'à votre demande explicite et uniquement depuis les sources que vous spécifiez.
Droits des personnes concernées que vous pouvez livrer dans votre propre pipeline
Si votre organisation déploie ForgeLM, le toolkit fournit des primitives concrètes pour le volet droits des personnes concernées du RGPD : forgelm reverse-pii scanne le corpus à la recherche de résidus en clair ou de digests salés d'un identifiant de personne et signale chaque ligne où elle apparaît (Article 15 accès), et forgelm purge supprime ces lignes de vos corpus d'entraînement et estampille la suppression dans le log d'audit append-only (Article 17 effacement). De plus, ForgeLM est aligné avec les contrôles ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II — voir la page Compliance pour la cartographie complète des preuves.

本站以静态文件的方式提供。你的浏览器会与托管文件的 CDN / Web 服务器交换标准请求头 (User-Agent、Accept-Language、IP 地址);该交换由托管提供商的隐私实践管理,不在 ForgeLM 的控制之下。我们自己不记录这部分流量。
第三方资源
本站加载:
  • Google Fonts — Inter 和 JetBrains Mono 字体。Google 可能按照其隐私政策记录请求。
  • jsDelivr — Mermaid 10.9.4 仅在指南页面加载,用于渲染架构 / 流程图。jsDelivr 可能按照其隐私政策记录请求。
  • Formspree — 仅在你提交联系表单时,如上所述。
除此之外不从任何第三方加载。没有 Google Analytics、没有 Facebook 像素、没有 Hotjar、没有 Mixpanel、没有那个时髦的随便什么跟踪器。

你的权利 (GDPR / KVKK)
如果你认为我们持有关于你的个人数据,并希望访问、更正或删除它,通过联系表单 (或 GitHub Issues) 写信给我们;我们会在 30 天内回复。由于我们持有的唯一个人数据就是你在联系表单中发送的内容,删除很简单:我们删除该邮件 thread。
Toolkit 本身
通过 pip install forgelm 安装的 ForgeLM Python 包不会回拨。不收集遥测,不向任何地方发送使用数据,可离线工作 (支持气隙)。你在 YAML 配置中引用的模型、数据集和 tokenizer 仅在你的明确请求下且仅从你指定的来源下载。
你可以在自己的管道中交付的数据主体权利
如果你的组织部署 ForgeLM,这套工具为 GDPR 数据主体权利那一面提供了具体原语:forgelm reverse-pii 扫描语料库,查找主体标识的明文残留或加盐 digest 匹配,并报告该主体出现的每一行 (第 15 条访问);forgelm purge 从你的训练语料中删除这些行,并将删除盖戳到 append-only 审计日志中 (第 17 条删除)。此外,ForgeLM 与 ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II 控制项保持对齐 — 见合规页面查看完整证据图。

简短版
本站是静态 HTML。我们不运行分析、跟踪像素、广告跟踪器、A/B 测试、指纹识别或任何第三方遥测。本站可能发生三种第三方请求:Google Fonts 在每次页面加载时获取 (Inter 和 JetBrains Mono 字体);Mermaid 仅在指南页面从 jsDelivr 加载 (用于渲染图表);Formspree 仅在你提交联系表单时。三者均在下方详述;此外没有别的。
我们收集什么
正常浏览时
什么也没有。不设置 cookie。在你设备的 localStorage 中存储两个值:
  • forgelm-lang — 你选择的界面语言 (en、tr、de、fr、es、zh)。
  • forgelm-theme — 你选择的色彩主题 (dark 或 light)。
两者都留在你设备上,从不发送出去。清除浏览器存储就能移除它们。
从联系表单
当你在联系页提交表单时,你填写的值 (姓名、邮箱、组织、主题、标题、消息) 会发送到 Formspree,Formspree 再转发给项目维护者。Formspree 的隐私实践由其自身政策管理:formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy。

-not just that the walk doesn't crash.
+The guard AST-walks ``forgelm/config.py``'s Pydantic schema and checks every
+fenced ``yaml`` block under ``docs/usermanuals/``: the block must be readable,
+its top-level keys must be ``ForgeConfig`` blocks (or the block is listed as
+another tool's YAML or a known-open block), and a fragment's nested keys must
+be declared fields.  These tests plant a small synthetic config module on disk

+``Field(...)``, ``Optional[X]``, ``List[X]``, ``Dict[str, Any]``, ``alias=``)
+and synthetic manual trees under ``tmp_path``, so each rule is pinned

 """User-manual YAML-example schema-drift guard.
 
-The critical/high findings that motivated this guard were fabricated
-config keys inside ``docs/usermanuals/`` YAML examples — a page showing
-a ``training:`` or ``lora:`` fragment with a key that does not exist on
-the live Pydantic schema.  ``tools/check_yaml_snippets.py`` already runs
-real ``ForgeConfig(**data)`` validation, but only on snippets carrying
-**all three** required top-level keys (``model`` + ``training`` +
-``data``) — fragmentary single-block examples (the common case in a
-user-manual page that is explaining one section at a time) are
-intentionally skipped there because they cannot be validated as a
-complete config.  This guard closes that gap for the fragment case,
-without duplicating full-config validation.
-
-Approach: the schema is resolved by AST-parsing ``forgelm/config.py`` as
-text (mirroring ``tools/check_field_descriptions.py``'s ClassDef walker)
-rather than importing the Pydantic models, so schema resolution itself
-pulls in no runtime dependencies. Note the YAML-fence extraction reuses
-``tools/check_yaml_snippets.py``, so the guard still needs ``forgelm``
-importable and exits non-zero if it is not.
-
-1. Parse ``forgelm/config.py`` and build, for every Pydantic
-   ``BaseModel`` subclass, a map of ``field_name -> FieldType`` where
-   ``FieldType`` records whether the field resolves to another known
-   Pydantic model (directly, through ``Optional[X]``, or through
-   ``List[X]``) or is a leaf/opaque field (``str``, ``int``, ``Literal``,
-   ``Dict[str, Any]``, ``List[str]``, ...).  Fields with a Pydantic
-   ``alias=`` are indexed under both the field name and the alias (see
-   ``TrainingConfig.grpo_max_completion_length``).
-2. ``ForgeConfig``'s own field set is the set of top-level block names
-   (``model``, ``lora``, ``training``, ``data``, ``auth``,
-   ``evaluation``, ``webhook``, ``distributed``, ``merge``,
-   ``compliance``, ``risk_assessment``, ``monitoring``, ``synthetic``,
-   ``retention``, ``pipeline``) — derived from the schema, not
-   hand-listed, so it never drifts from ``forgelm/config.py``.
-3. Walk every fenced ``yaml`` block under ``docs/usermanuals/**/*.md``.
-   Skip blocks that carry the full ``model``/``training``/``data``
-   triplet (``check_yaml_snippets.py`` already validates those with a
-   real ``ForgeConfig(**data)`` call — stronger than an AST key-path
-   check and the single source of truth for full-config validation).
-   For every remaining top-level key that matches a known ``ForgeConfig``
-   block name, recursively walk the mapping and flag any key that is not
-   a declared field (or alias) of the corresponding Pydantic model.
-   Fields resolving to an opaque type (``Dict[str, Any]``, ``Literal``,
-   scalars, ...) are leaves — their contents are never descended into,
-   which is what keeps this guard from false-flagging genuinely
-   free-form fields like ``MergeConfig.models: List[Dict[str, Any]]``.
-
-Deliberately out of scope (would need real Pydantic validation, not an
-AST key-path walk, to check safely): value type/range checks, `Literal`
-choice validation, cross-field validators. This guard only answers
-"does this key exist on the schema" — narrow, but exactly the class of
-drift (fabricated field names) that motivated it.
-
-Exit codes (per ``tools/`` contract — NOT the public 0/1/2/3/4 surface
-that ``forgelm/`` honours):
-
-- ``0`` — every checked key path resolves against the schema.
-- ``1`` — at least one fabricated key path found (strict mode), or
-  invalid arguments.
-
-CI wiring: this guard runs in ``.github/workflows/ci.yml`` with
-``--strict`` — any fabricated key path fails the build. The
-introduction-time backlog (38 instances across 8 EN/TR page-pairs,
-e.g. ``deployment/model-merging.md``'s ``merge:`` block that used
-``algorithm``/``base_model``/``output`` instead of the real
-``MergeConfig`` names ``method``/``models``/``output_dir``) has been
-cleaned, so the guard now protects against regressions rather than
-merely reporting a standing backlog.
+A YAML example under ``docs/usermanuals/`` is something a reader copies into a
+config, so every key in it must be one ``ForgeConfig`` accepts unless the
+example is another tool's YAML.  ``tools/check_yaml_snippets.py`` validates a
+full config (``model`` + ``training`` + ``data``) with a real
+``ForgeConfig(**data)`` and skips everything else.  This guard covers the rest:
+fragments that explain one block at a time, the block names of every example
+(full configs included), and examples that neither schema guard can read.
+
+The schema is read from ``forgelm/config.py``'s AST (mirroring
+``tools/check_field_descriptions.py``'s class walker), so resolving it imports
+nothing.  The fence extractor is ``tools/check_yaml_snippets.py``'s, which
+imports ``forgelm``, so ``forgelm`` must still be importable.
+
+Rules
+-----
+
+Every ``*.md`` under ``docs/usermanuals/`` is read, a file outside a language
+directory included: it is checked like any page, but no table row can exempt it.
+
+1. **Schema.**  Every Pydantic class in ``forgelm/config.py`` maps each field,
+   and each ``alias=``, either to a nested model (directly or through
+   ``Optional[X]`` / ``List[X]``) or to an opaque leaf (``str``, ``Literal``,
+   ``Dict[str, Any]``, ``List[str]`` ...).  ``ForgeConfig``'s own fields are the
+   top-level block names.
+2. **Readable blocks.**  A YAML block must be opened by ```` ```yaml ```` at the
+   start of a line and closed by ```` ``` ````, the only form this guard and
+   ``check_yaml_snippets.py`` read.  A YAML fence spelled any other way (```` ```yml ````, ``~~~yaml``,
+   ```` ```YAML ````, ```` ```yaml title="..." ````, a fence indented under a
+   list item) or never closed is a finding, and so is a block that does not
+   parse.  Blocks are read with YAML 1.2 booleans, where only ``true`` and
+   ``false`` are booleans, so GitHub Actions' ``on:`` is the key ``"on"``, not
+   ``True``.  A key that appears twice in one mapping is a parse error, because
+   PyYAML would silently keep the last value.  A fenced block in another
+   language is never read, and a YAML-looking fence inside one is its content.
+3. **Block names.**  In every document of every block, a full config as much as
+   a fragment, each top-level key must be a ``ForgeConfig`` block; any other key
+   makes it an *unknown block*.  A document that is not a mapping cannot be a
+   ``ForgeConfig``: a list is named by its items' keys (``- name``), a scalar as
+   ````, and a key that is not a string is shown as ````.
+4. **Nested keys.**  In a fragment (a document without the full ``model`` /
+   ``training`` / ``data`` triple), every key under a block that resolves to a
+   model is walked recursively, and a key that is not a declared field or alias
+   of that model, a non-string key included, is drift.  Opaque fields are never
+   descended into, so a free-form map such as
+   ``MergeConfig.models: List[Dict[str, Any]]`` is never false-flagged.
+5. **Exemptions.**  An unknown block passes only when its page (relative to the
+   language directory) and its exact key set form a row of one of two tables:
+
+   - ``_NON_FORGELM_YAML``: another tool's YAML (a GitHub Actions workflow, a
+     compose file).  The reason starts with that tool's name from
+     ``_OTHER_TOOLS``.
+   - ``_KNOWN_OPEN``: a fabricated or unimplemented block that a tracked issue
+     owns.  The reason starts with the issue (``#123: ...``), and the change
+     that corrects the page deletes the row.
+
+   ``ForgeConfig`` blocks inside an exempted block are still walked.  A row must
+   match exactly one block per language: always in ``en`` and ``tr``, and in a
+   deferred language (``de``, ``fr``, ``es``, ``zh`` may be partial, see
+   ``docs/standards/localization.md``) only when that directory has the page.
+   A row that matches no block, or a second block, is a finding, unless the
+   page holds a block this guard cannot read; that block is reported instead.
+
+Known limits
+------------
+
+- Only key names are checked.  Value types and ranges, ``Literal`` choices and
+  cross-field validators need real Pydantic validation.
+- The nested keys of a full config are left to ``check_yaml_snippets.py``.  For
+  a full config marked ``# INVALID:`` (deliberately invalid) neither guard
+  checks them; only its block names are checked, here.
+- A list document is identified only by the top-level keys of its items.
+- Inside a fenced block of another language, a ```` ```yaml ```` fence at the
+  start of a line is still read, because the extractor does not track nesting.
+
+Exit codes (the ``tools/`` contract, not the public 0-6 surface of ``forgelm``):
+
+- ``0``: no finding, or findings printed in advisory mode (no ``--strict``).
+- ``1``: a finding under ``--strict``; and in every mode, no YAML block found,
+  ``forgelm/config.py``, ``docs/usermanuals/`` or ``ForgeConfig`` missing,
+  PyYAML or ``forgelm`` not importable, or a malformed exemption table.
+- ``2``: invalid command-line arguments (``argparse``).
+
+CI wiring: ``.github/workflows/ci.yml`` runs this guard with ``--strict``.

Subject: [PATCH 20/21] fix(docs): make the ingestion quick-start example
 runnable (#395) (#1060)

## Summary

Fix the first `forgelm ingest` example in both Document Ingestion
user-manual pages so it runs as shown, and show the output
`summarize_result` actually prints.

## Related issues

Fixes #395 (CR-A12-004)

## Changes

- `docs/usermanuals/en/data/ingestion.md` and
`docs/usermanuals/tr/data/ingestion.md`: keep `--chunk-tokens 1024`, add
`--tokenizer "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct"`, and replace the invented
tick-mark output with the real `Ingestion summary` / `Files (in/out)`
layout. The shell block is identical in both languages because CLI
output is English-only; no Turkish narrative text changed.
- `tests/test_usermanual_reference_consistency.py`: add
`TestIngestionPageQuickExampleStaysRunnable`, parametrized over `("en",
"tr")`. It extracts the first `forgelm ingest` shell block, joins the
continuation lines, parses it with `shlex.split`, asserts
`--chunk-tokens` comes with `--tokenizer`, and asserts the page shows
the `summarize_result` labels.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: one entry under `## [Unreleased]` -> `### Fixed`.

## Testing

Run from the repository root:

- `pytest tests/test_usermanual_reference_consistency.py --no-cov` ->
`123 passed`
- `python3 tools/check_cli_help_consistency.py --strict` -> OK, 515
invocations match the parser
- `python3 tools/check_bilingual_code_blocks.py --strict` -> OK, 118
pairs
- `python3 tools/check_bilingual_parity.py --strict` -> OK, 118 pairs
- `python3 tools/check_usermanual_self_contained.py --strict` -> OK, 134
pages
- `ruff format --check .` and `ruff check .` (pinned
`ruff>=0.4.0,<0.16.0` as CI installs) -> clean

The four new test cases fail on the current `development` docs (no
`--tokenizer`, no `Ingestion summary`/`Files (in/out)`) and pass with
this change.

## Type

- [x] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [x] Documentation
- [ ] Refactoring / code quality
- [x] Test coverage
- [ ] CI / infrastructure

## Checklist

- [x] My code follows the project's style (ruff formatted)
- [x] I've updated the English page and its Turkish mirror in the same
PR
- [x] I've added a regression test
- [x] No new dependencies added
- [x] CHANGELOG entry added under `[Unreleased]`
- [x] The linked issue has been triaged (no `needs-triage`) and is
assigned to me

## Summary by Sourcery

Make the Document Ingestion quick-start examples runnable and accurately
reflect the tool's output.

Bug Fixes:
- Make the Document Ingestion quick-start examples runnable by pairing
chunk sizing with an explicit tokenizer and documenting the actual
ingestion summary output.

Documentation:
- Update the English and Turkish ingestion manuals with accurate command
output and follow-up paths.

Tests:
- Add bilingual regression coverage to validate the quick-start command
and its documented summary labels.

Chores:
- Record the documentation correction in the unreleased changelog.





## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Documentation**
- Updated the English and Turkish ingestion quick-start examples to show
a detailed ingestion summary, including file counts, output totals,
format breakdowns, and masking notes.
- Added follow-up commands for auditing or training with the generated
output.
  - Clarified that `--chunk-tokens` should be used with a tokenizer.

- **Tests**
- Added checks that both examples include the tokenizer option and
display the expected summary labels.

Subject: [PATCH 21/21] fix(purge): accept retention-only config file for
 --check-policy (#1054) (#1058)

Closes #1054.

### Summary
When running `forgelm purge --check-policy --config `, operators
frequently supply a YAML containing only a `retention:` section for
scheduled retention sweeps, rather than an entire training configuration
(which would otherwise require `model`, `lora`, `training`, and `data`
blocks).

### Changes
- Updated `_maybe_load_config` with `allow_retention_only: bool = False`
(used by `_run_purge_check_policy`). If the YAML file contains a
`retention:` block without training/model sections, it validates against
`RetentionConfig` directly and returns a namespace holding the validated
`retention` model.
- Invalid `retention:` blocks continue to raise structured `ConfigError`
and exit with `EXIT_CONFIG_ERROR` (1).
- Added comprehensive unit tests in
`tests/test_gdpr_erasure.py::TestCheckPolicyStrictLoad`:
  - `test_check_policy_retention_only_config_succeeds`
  - `test_check_policy_retention_only_invalid_exits_config_error`
- All 60 tests in `tests/test_gdpr_erasure.py` pass.

## Summary by Sourcery

Support retention-only configuration files for `purge --check-policy`
while preserving strict validation and configuration error handling.

New Features:
- Allow `purge --check-policy --config` to load YAML files containing
only a `retention:` section.

Bug Fixes:
- Ensure invalid retention-only policies and malformed partial
configurations return structured configuration errors instead of being
ignored.

Enhancements:
- Preserve full-config validation for files containing any top-level key
beyond `retention:` and omit raw configuration values from retention
validation errors.

Documentation:
- Document retention-only configuration support for GDPR
retention-policy checks in English and Turkish guides, references, and
user manuals.

Tests:
- Add coverage for retention-only policies, null retention blocks,
invalid values, unexpected top-level keys, missing files, and protected
validation errors.




## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Policy checks accept either a full training configuration or a
configuration file containing only `retention:`.
* An empty `retention:` block reports nothing to enforce and exits
successfully.
* Successful checks return a JSON report with a success status,
violation details, and a count.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Files with other top-level keys are validated as full configurations.
Invalid settings, malformed YAML, and missing files produce errors;
validation messages do not expose supplied values.
* **Documentation**
* Updated the retention-policy guidance to describe accepted
configuration formats.

 **Başarılı policy raporları 0 ile çıkar** (rapor-değil-gate semantiği — design §10 Q5). Config-load başarısızlıkları `EXIT_CONFIG_ERROR` (sıfır olmayan) ile çıkar: eksik / okunamayan / Pydantic validation'ı geçemeyen explicit `--config`, "loader failed" durumunu "ihlal yok" sanmamak için `EXIT_CONFIG_ERROR` olarak yüzeye çıkar. CI gate isteyen operatörler `--output-format json` kullanır ve raporu kendileri sınar, örneğin `set -o pipefail` altında `jq -e '.success == true and has("count") and .count == 0'`: `count`, hiçbir `retention:` bloğu yüklenmediğinde yoktur; böylece gate hiç kontrol edilmemiş bir dizinde geçmek yerine başarısız olur, ve `--output-dir` gerçek eğitim çıktı dizini olmalıdır (olmayan bir dizin `count: 0` raporlar). Bu, public exit-code kontratını her ForgeLM subcommand'ında tutarlı tutar.

 **Successful policy reports exit 0** (report-not-gate semantic per design §10 Q5). Config-load failures exit with `EXIT_CONFIG_ERROR` (non-zero): an explicit `--config` that is missing, unreadable, or fails Pydantic validation surfaces as `EXIT_CONFIG_ERROR` so the operator does not mistake "loader failed" for "no violations". Operators wiring a CI gate use `--output-format json` and test the report themselves, for example `jq -e '.success == true and has("count") and .count == 0'` under `set -o pipefail`: `count` is absent when no `retention:` block was loaded, so the gate fails instead of passing on a directory that was never checked, and `--output-dir` must be the real training output directory (a missing one reports `count: 0`). This keeps the public exit-code contract consistent across every ForgeLM subcommand.

The config can be a full training config or a YAML file whose only top-level key is `retention:`; a file with any other top-level key is validated as a full config.
 
 **Shared output directories.** `compliance/`, `data_audit_report.json` and the raw-document directories are aged from the audit log's *first* event, not from when the file was last written. In a directory reused for many runs, a bundle written today can be reported as past its horizon: check the file's own date before deleting anything the report lists.
