We present LLM-INSTRUCT, the winning system for the UZH Shared Task at ArgMining 2026 on paragraph-level argument mining in UN and UNESCO resolutions. The task requires paragraph-type classification, prediction of a subset of 141 official tags, and directed relation prediction under a strict JSON schema setting using only open-weight models up to 8B parameters. We frame the task as constrained structured prediction. The system first narrows the candidate tag space with metadata-aware dense retrieval, then applies constrained decoding with per-dimension caps, and escalates only uncertain cases to a three-agent debate branch.
