Honest failures

When Occam cannot extract a page, it returns ok: false.

That means the page content is unknown.

What you should do

  1. Read failure.code (and agentMeta.decisions when present).
  2. Follow Failure codes for retry / stop / remediate.
  3. Do not summarize or quote the page from model memory.

What “thin extract” means

thin_extract means a bad extraction (chrome, shell, near-empty) — not “the page is short.”

A genuinely short but complete page can be ok: true with quality.verdict=short_quality.

Honesty is not verification

Refusing to invent content is honesty. Checking a signed receipt later is verification. Use both when the stakes are high.
