Consensus Validation
ConsensusGate (from src/mde/consensus.py)
The consensus gate evaluates agreement across multi-model review results.
Threshold
- 75% agreement required for consensus to pass
- Ported from claude-octopus v9.13.0 quality.sh
evaluate_quality_branch()
Autonomy Modes
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|
| FULL | Auto-commit if consensus passes and quality gate passes |
| SUPERVISED | Auto-commit with notification to human |
| GATED | Require human approval before commit |
| MANUAL | Human must review and commit manually |
Consensus Decision Flow
- Collect structured review results from all models
- Count agreements on each finding (severity + category match)
- Calculate agreement percentage per finding
- Apply 75% threshold to determine consensus
- Map consensus result to autonomy mode action
Using the Python Module
from mde.consensus import ConsensusGate, ConsensusDecision, AutonomyMode
gate = ConsensusGate(threshold=0.75)
decision = gate.evaluate(review_results)
if decision.passed:
...
else:
...
Debate Integrity Integration
Before evaluating consensus, debate integrity rules must pass:
DebateIntegrityRule checks from src/mde/consensus.py- Circular reasoning detection
- Severity inflation detection
- Rubber-stamp detection
Rules
- 75% threshold is mandatory — never lower it
- Debate integrity must pass before consensus evaluation
- Failed consensus always escalates to human review
- Log consensus decisions with full rationale for audit trail
- Never auto-commit in GATED or MANUAL autonomy modes
