Failures and friction

Observation Disposition Durable follow-up Independent verification State
One patched ordinary row kept one extra token relative to both stock and the binary64 reference. Preserved the exact row receipt; the strict local no-worse gate failed and startup stopped before weights. Review whether the predeclared conservative policy should remain the admission contract or whether upstream should address the split-search boundary. Do not weaken the completed run retroactively. Independent outcome review completed: the frozen gate failed correctly. The raw receipt records token, count, mass, input hash, and failed check. Open
The previous campaign lacked an independent ordinary-row oracle. Added the frozen binary64 numerical reference, seed 42 control, input-byte checks, prefix/subset checks, and bounded diagnostics. Keep the reference design and native receipts as the reusable diagnostic contract. Eight cases and 272 rows completed; no ambiguous oracle boundary, missing oracle token, prefix hole, invalid output, or input mutation was reported. Closed for this diagnostic
Post-exit effective cgroup values were unavailable. Retained separately from the primary kernel assertion; oom_killed is false. Preserve exit cause and post-exit observability as distinct fields in managed status. Candidate status reports exit 1, OOM-killed false, and unavailable post-exit observations. Open product limitation
The restored incumbent failed its single strict JSON smoke by emitting reasoning-like prose before the target object. Preserve the complete synthetic response and keep functional restoration acceptance incomplete. Operational identity/readiness restoration remains separately verified. Tracked evidence gap: add a matched pretrial control in any future experiment and keep exact-output acceptance separate from readiness. No matched pretrial smoke exists; candidate weights never loaded, so candidate causality is refuted and regression is unproven. Open
