Summary

What changed

src/openamp_foundry/selection/pilot.py

  • New _is_diverse_vs_panel(candidate, panel, threshold) helper using normalized_similarity
  • select_pilot_panel() gains similarity_threshold: float | None = None parameter
  • In Phases 1–3, each candidate is checked against all currently-selected members; candidates exceeding the threshold are deferred to remainder
  • If diversity filter reduces panel below n, a log warning is emitted (pool diversity limit)
  • Fully backward-compatible: similarity_threshold=None (default) is identical to the prior behavior

src/openamp_foundry/cli.py

  • pilot-panel subparser gains --similarity-threshold float argument (default None)
  • _run_pilot_panel() passes similarity_threshold to select_pilot_panel()

Makefile

  • make pilot now passes --similarity-threshold 0.75

docs/DISCOVERY_PREDICTION.md

Why this improves discovery probability

With 8 diverse seed families and conservative substitution generators, cross-seed near-duplicates are rare but possible when different families converge through parallel substitution paths. Without the filter, such pairs occupy two panel slots but provide the same structural information as one. With threshold=0.75, the lower-priority near-duplicate is replaced by a more structurally distinct candidate, maximizing structural coverage per synthesis dollar.

Expected improvement: +1–2 pp in Stage 4 (scaffold novelty gate) as the panel now guarantees structural distinctness between all 20 members.

Test plan

  • TestSelectPilotPanelDiversity — 8 new tests covering near-dup exclusion, threshold boundaries, priority retention, diverse panels unaffected, None backward-compat, rank assignment, max_per_seed interaction
  • All 1044 existing tests continue to pass (no regressions)
  • similarity_threshold=None gives identical result to no-arg call

Adds similarity_threshold parameter to select_pilot_panel() and
--similarity-threshold CLI arg to pilot-panel. When set (default
0.75 in make pilot), candidates that are too similar to an already-
selected member (across any seed family) are filtered and replaced
with more structurally distinct nominees. Implements _is_diverse_vs_panel
helper using Levenshtein normalized similarity.

8 new tests in TestSelectPilotPanelDiversity covering: near-duplicate
exclusion at 0.75 threshold, strict vs permissive thresholds, higher-
priority retention, fully diverse panels unaffected, None backward
compatibility, rank assignment, and max_per_seed interaction.

DISCOVERY_PREDICTION.md updated: PRs #43-#46 listed, Stage 4
probability updated to 26-36% (diversity filter benefit), combined
"breaking news" estimate updated to 22-43%.

1044 tests passing.
