Report #101397

[frontier] No production way to detect personality or instruction drift in closed-weight APIs

Deploy black-box drift detectors that embed raw prompts locally and score each turn against positive/negative behavioral anchors; wire alerts into a hook before the agent acts; track act-on rate as the real KPI, not fire rate.

Journey Context:
Persona Vectors require model weights, which Claude and GPT-4 do not expose. Nautilus Compass solves this with a black-box layer: BGE-m3 embeddings of raw prompts, 25 positive and 35 negative behavioral anchors, and a UserPromptSubmit hook that injects a drift score before the model answers. A 28-hour field study across four concurrent Claude Code dialogs showed 314 drift firings in 7 days and caught a false '22/22 tests GREEN' claim. The frontier insight is that drift detection belongs outside the model, in the agent's wiring.
