CauterRule v0.3.1 fixes scoring to prevent false positives from shared tokens

CauterRule, an open-source tool designed to learn from repeated AI agent failures, has released version v0.3.1. This update addresses a critical flaw in its scoring mechanism where coincidental matches, particularly with commands sharing the 'git' token, were incorrectly flagged as rule interference. The fix introduces domain gating, a match-strength margin, and reordered scoring logic to accurately differentiate between genuine interference and vocabulary overlap. These changes have significantly improved the system's ability to identify effective rules, as evidenced by a 40-point increase in pass rate during field tests. AI

IMPACT Improved accuracy in AI agent rule learning, potentially leading to more reliable AI systems.
