Phase 0 foundation: canonical schema, ingest pipeline, CRM MCP server
Workstream A–C substrate for the Ten31 agentic system: - A1: docs/crm-overview.md; CLAUDE.md conventions + guardrail #9 - A2: additive/reversible core migration (canonical_entities, entity_links, interaction_log, relationship_edges, soft-delete) + ledgered runner - B1/B3: chunking + deterministic entity resolution (backend/ingest) - B2: dense (bge-m3) + BM25 sparse ingest to Qdrant crm_chunks - C: CRM MCP server (reads, retrieval modes, logged writes) — no outbound tools - docs: redaction/re-hydration, Gmail enablement runbook - synthetic test data; .env.example; housekeeping (.gitignore, untrack crm.db, drop legacy files + start9/0.3.5) Verified end-to-end on synthetic data + live Sparks (hybrid > dense on entity queries). Real backfill runs on Ten31 infra; index holds synthetic data only. Branch snapshot also captures pre-existing working-tree changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Redaction / Re-hydration Boundary
|
||||
|
||||
*Design note for the privacy boundary between Ten31's sovereign data and the Claude API. Written in Phase 0 so it is a designed step, not an afterthought. **It is BUILT in Phase 2/3** (Analyst, Closer) — Phase 0 does not need it (see §1).*
|
||||
|
||||
Related: `CLAUDE.md` guardrails #1 (sovereignty), #4 (human-in-the-loop outbound), #9 (dev-time data handling); `docs/Ten31_Agentic_Build_Plan.md` §4.5.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. When this applies (and when it doesn't)
|
||||
|
||||
The system has two very different data paths, and only one of them needs this:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Local-only paths — no redaction needed, because Claude is never in the loop.** All of Phase 0 is here: ingest, chunking, embeddings (bge-m3), the vector index (Qdrant), and entity resolution (local Qwen). Sensitive data flows `CRM → Sparks → Qdrant`, all on Ten31 infrastructure. Nothing reaches Anthropic, so there is nothing to scrub. **Do not add redaction overhead to the ingest/retrieval path.**
|
||||
- **Claude-facing reasoning steps — this boundary applies.** When an agent asks Claude to *reason over* LP-specific content: **Analyst** (building a dossier from retrieved chunks), **Closer** (drafting outreach/nurture/meeting prep), and any Orchestrator step that forwards record content. These send sensitive context to a third-party API and are the reason this boundary exists.
|
||||
|
||||
The guiding rule (guardrail #1) is *"only the minimum necessary, non-sensitive context per call."* Redaction/re-hydration is how we honor that rule **when the task genuinely needs record content** — as opposed to simply sending less.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The three-tier data classification
|
||||
|
||||
Before any agent calls Claude, classify each piece of context:
|
||||
|
||||
| Tier | Examples | Treatment |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Never send** | Full LP list/export, bulk relationship graph, raw account numbers, wire details, SSNs/passport, anything covered by a confidentiality obligation | Stays on Ten31 infra. Not even tokenized — just excluded. |
|
||||
| **Tokenize (pseudonymize)** | Person names, org/fund names, emails, phone, physical addresses, exact $ amounts, dates that pin identity | Replaced with stable placeholders before the call; real values swapped back locally after. |
|
||||
| **Send as-is** | The *substance* an agent needs Claude to reason about: thesis discussion, sentiment, objections, generic deal mechanics, the drafted message body (minus identifiers) | Sent in the de-identified prompt. |
|
||||
|
||||
The art is the middle tier: keep enough semantic content for Claude to be useful, while every *identifier* is a placeholder.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. The round-trip
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────── Ten31 infrastructure (sovereign) ───────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ 1. SCRUB (local model on the Sparks, via Spark Control) │
|
||||
│ - Pull the minimal context the task needs (retrieved chunks + record fields). │
|
||||
│ - NER + rule pass replaces Tier-2 identifiers with stable tokens: │
|
||||
│ "Jonathan Reyes" -> [PERSON_1] "Cedar Point Capital" -> [ORG_1] │
|
||||
│ "jon@cedarpoint..." -> [EMAIL_1] "$5,000,000" -> [AMOUNT_1] "Fund III" -> [FUND_1]│
|
||||
│ - Tokens are STABLE within a task (same entity -> same token) and CONSISTENT across │
|
||||
│ all chunks in the call, so Claude can reason about relationships. │
|
||||
│ - The pseudonym map { [PERSON_1] -> "Jonathan Reyes", ... } is held LOCALLY, keyed to │
|
||||
│ the task/session. It never leaves the box. │
|
||||
│ - Drop Tier-1 content entirely. Log the scrub to the interaction_log. │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
└──────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
│ de-identified prompt (placeholders only)
|
||||
▼
|
||||
2. REASON — Claude API (Agent SDK)
|
||||
Drafts / synthesizes using [PERSON_1], [ORG_1], [FUND_1] ...
|
||||
│ response referencing the same placeholders
|
||||
┌──────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ 3. RE-HYDRATE (local) │
|
||||
│ - Substitute real values back in using the local pseudonym map. │
|
||||
│ - A human reviews the re-hydrated draft (guardrail #4) before anything is sent. │
|
||||
│ - Log the rehydrate + the human decision to the interaction_log. │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Where it runs
|
||||
|
||||
The natural home is **Spark Control** (the gateway that already fronts the local models): add a scrub endpoint and a rehydrate endpoint, or run the pair as middleware inside the Agent SDK tool loop so every outbound Claude call passes through it. Keeping it at the gateway means:
|
||||
- One enforcement point — agents can't accidentally bypass it.
|
||||
- The pseudonym map lives next to the local models, never in agent memory that might get logged.
|
||||
- The scrub uses the same local Qwen already used for entity resolution, so the NER is consistent with how entities were canonicalized at ingest (reuse the `canonical_entities` → token mapping).
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Caveats (why this is a tool, not a magic switch)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Free-text leakage is the hard part.** A note that says *"the family that sold the mining company in Texas last year"* re-identifies even with the name tokenized. The scrub model must catch *descriptive* identifiers, not just named entities — and it will not be perfect. For high-sensitivity tasks, prefer sending *less* (summary/thesis only) over trusting the scrub to catch everything.
|
||||
- **Re-identification by inference.** Enough tokenized-but-specific detail (amounts + dates + sector) can still single out a person. Keep Tier-2 amounts/dates *bucketed* ("~$5M", "Q1") when the exact value isn't needed.
|
||||
- **Map integrity.** The pseudonym map is sensitive (it's the de-anonymization key) — keep it local, in memory or short-lived, never logged to a third party, never sent in a prompt.
|
||||
- **It does not replace minimization.** First ask "does Claude need this record content at all?" Often a retrieval summary suffices. Redaction is for when the answer is genuinely yes.
|
||||
- **Consistency with retrieval.** Retrieval itself is already local, so chunks come back with real values; the scrub is applied at the *prompt-assembly* step, not at ingest.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Verification (when we build it)
|
||||
|
||||
- A test harness that asserts no Tier-1 string and no real Tier-2 identifier appears in any outbound payload (golden-file diff over recorded prompts).
|
||||
- A re-identification spot-check: have the local model attempt to re-identify entities from the de-identified prompt alone; flag anything it gets right.
|
||||
- Every scrub/rehydrate logged to `interaction_log` (actor, task, token-count, what tier was dropped) for audit (guardrail #5).
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Open questions (resolve at build time, Phase 2/3)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Token granularity — per-task ephemeral maps, or a stable per-entity token space reused across tasks (better for Claude's cross-call memory, worse for re-identification risk)?
|
||||
2. Do we tokenize the *drafted outbound message itself* (Closer) and re-hydrate, or draft against placeholders and let the human fill specifics? (Affects how much the human edits.)
|
||||
3. Bucketing policy for amounts/dates — what precision is "non-sensitive enough"?
|
||||
4. Where exactly in the Agent SDK loop the middleware sits, and how it composes with prompt caching (placeholders must be cache-stable).
