Campaign friction log

Time / stage Category Evidence and disposition Fix-forward / verification Status
2026-10-26 / quality Output integrity Frozen router source a5ccb7454ad49f47e5a953b130696fff69cdb829 collapses repeated spaces in buffered text, including indentation. Original HTTP bodies for historical Aider runs were not retained, so historical attribution remains unknown. PR #704 merged at 6b4d7dcd5078f06b1a0c992c67f0d03dd022c9d7; exact-merge CI passed. A separate fixed-router capture preserved returned code byte-for-byte; repaired verifier and offline exercises passed 16/16. The restored router uses the reviewed overlay. Fix present in restored router runtime; historical Aider attribution unresolved.
2026-10-26 / quality Output budget Ignis Go 16K repair resolved the task. The true 32K follow-up used a declared 32,768-token cap; both responses ended with finish_reason=length. An earlier incorrectly clamped 32K attempt remains separate historical-invalid evidence. Preserve distinct run IDs and keep outside the six-task Aider result. Closed bounded diagnostic; task unresolved at true 32K.
2026-10-26 / quality Step budget Flare SWE attempted five tasks; four empty patches hit LimitsExceeded at the declared, frozen 60-step ceiling. Django was the only nonempty graded submission and remained unresolved. Keep all five attempts in the denominator; no 90-step follow-up in this campaign. Closed for this campaign; qualification gate incomplete.
2026-10-26 / scout Setup friction Flare C1 root launch failed before execution; r1 lacked an output directory; r2 failed the renamed-cell/path guard before activation. Corrected r3 returned eight HTTP responses and had 0/8 performance-eligible. Reconciliation preserves the native native_control_mismatch wrapper and all eight native output failures. Setup closed; strict output gate failed.
2026-10-26 / scout Serving output vLLM and Flare C1 each received eight responses and had 0/8 eligible; Flare had five no-visible-content length stops and three strict 128-word misses. Preserve native artifacts; C4/C8 were not run. No retry or performance claim. Both C1 output gates failed; no performance qualification.
2026-10-26 / restoration Configuration Temporary evaluation routes/output caps were changed. Final restoration returned exact prior configuration revision aadcc9ffd338c32ff44a52d45db1fbe276aeb0e6aaa643da64ad58f21d284225 and GLM incumbent at admitting generation 38. Direct and routed five-check preflights and one Pi real read-tool turn passed. Verified locally; no whole-fleet, reboot, or fresh-host claim.
2026-10-26 / restoration Router runtime recovery An image attempt failed at the Python 3.11 WAL runtime guard. Recovery used the reviewed incumbent-runtime overlay with PR #704 splitter (image ID suffix DE213); this is not the original router image. Exact router configuration was restored and generation 38 is admitting. The exact-predecessor rollback capability is tracked separately in PR #705; the canonical image/Python 3.11 native-WAL failure is tracked in the product ticket .tickets/2026-10-26-router-python311-native-wal-image-compatibility.md. Router restored with explicit image difference; rollback capability tracked separately in PR #705.
2026-10-26 / restoration Pi input First Pi acceptance attempt contained contaminated stdin and was not accepted. The clean r2 real read-tool turn returned the exact answer and passed. Preserve the contaminated first attempt privately; only publish the successful bounded outcome. One local Pi turn passed; not whole-client acceptance.
2026-10-26 / diagnostic Post-stop trace Earlier marker trace had a worker-only token after the native API stop; retained API completion did not include it. The analyzer correctly remained unknown; no general runtime defect was proven. See marker trace finding and private offline packet assertion. No engine fix or upstream patch claimed; a stop-aware scheduler reconciliation test remains future work.
