How this AI feature works, its recorded checks, and a small workflow experiment.
From a question to relevant work.
Question
The server accepts a bounded, same-origin request.
Usage budget
Per-network limits and a daily cap bound API usage.
Career record
Only approved public records enter the model context.
Source selection
OpenAI selects structured IDs; the server validates them.
Linked response
The interface displays source text and links to the work.
The model selects relevant records instead of writing new career claims. It has no file access or action tools. If the API fails, keyword retrieval keeps the public work searchable.
What happens when things go wrong?
Test an unsupported claim, challenge a project attribution, or simulate a service failure. The failure exercise skips the model and demonstrates the fallback.
Put the boundaries to the test.
Recorded guide checks.

Earlier runs and what changed
An earlier model response confused a question about project ownership with a request for restricted information. Separating those response labels fixed the recorded attribution check. Earlier failures remain in the history. After personal projects were added, the broad AI question correctly returned those examples but failed a check that insisted on Crosscheck. That check now asks about Crosscheck explicitly.

Same task. Clearer instructions.
Two model runs add a dismiss action to the same React fixture. The second also receives explicit reuse, accessibility and styling guidance.
Recorded 2026-09-21T01:59:22.905Z with gpt-4.1-mini. Temperature 0, one run per condition.
Baseline context
import './notice.css';
import { Button } from './Button';
export function Notice({message,onDismiss}:{message:string;onDismiss:()=>void}) {
return <section className="notice">
<p>{message}</p>
<Button className="notice-dismiss" onClick={onDismiss} aria-label="Dismiss notice">×</Button>
</section>;
}

One paired fixture, one run per condition, same model and temperature 0. Structural checks do not establish general skill effectiveness, complete behavior or accessibility conformance. Model output can vary. Guide checks test these exact prompts; they are not a guarantee against all attacks. API usage tokens are observed; dollar cost was not measured.
