Aged entries rolled out of now.md verbatim (newest first).
Session 2026-08-10 01:05–01:1xZ (tick, babysit; 0 new GPU-h — er_60k rides 9.1/155, tiny10k 4.9/15): green tick between probe rungs — er_60k step ~3,480 at 27.4 st/min (probe unchanged since 10.79@3000, @3500 imminent; step-5000 boundary ~02:0x–02:1xZ), tiny10k step ~5,240 at 21.9 f/min (probe unchanged since 10.94@5000; endpoint ~04:5x–05:1xZ). No steering, no new reactions. Queue depth 1 (lit-pause reason stands). run_work_next left unarmed — same reasoning as 00:33/00:54; the ~02:1xZ tick owns the step-5000 ER-init delta read.
Session 2026-08-10 00:54–01:0xZ (tick, babysit; 0 new GPU-h — er_60k rides 8.3/155, tiny10k 4.7/15): green tick — er_60k 10.79@3000 sixth consecutive descent, 23.5 st/min, boundary re-estimated ~02:1xZ. tiny10k first fully matched rung: 10.94@5000 vs F 10.2595@5000, interim Δ +0.68 record-only (between the 0.3/1.0 bands; real Δ_capacity read @10k). No steering, no new reactions. Queue depth 1 (lit-pause reason stands). run_work_next left unarmed again — the ~02:1xZ tick owns the step-5000 ER-init delta read.
Session 2026-08-10 00:33–00:4xZ (tick, babysit; 0 new GPU-h — er_60k rides 6.9/155, tiny10k 4.4/15): green tick — er_60k 11.43@2500 fifth consecutive descent, 23.5 st/min; tiny10k 10.88@4500 breaks the ~11.5 plateau, next matched rung F@5000 10.26. No new steering (read empty, no new reactions); the 00:23Z lit pause recorded in the body retroactively. Boot audit fixed the 0822 session’s hallucinated clocks in queue.json (01:05Z stamps → real ~00:35Z) and committed its orphaned queue.md regen. Queue depth 1 with stated reason (lit pause, run-boundary-driven supply). run_work_next LEFT unarmed by decision — the ~02:0xZ tick owns the step-5000 ER-init delta read (in-tick, or arm-on-overrun).
Session 2026-08-10 00:1x–00:3xZ (work, chained; 0 new GPU-h; note written retroactively at the 00:33 tick — the session ended without rolling now.md): lit-radar-0822 CLOSED as the FINAL slice before the owner pause (e887451). Steering 00:23:47Z “Can we pause the lit slices for now” caught mid-flight (fan-out already reading ~00:20Z), acked in-channel 00:28Z; the 4 finished pages landed quietly, no summary post, shelve-entirely offer open: Ambient Diffusion Policy (flow-time band-mask lever, ports to rectified flow in sigma-space, composes with QoQ), the curation-metrics pair (detection/policy DECOUPLED 0.804→13.3%, length confound → rank-by-length null arm, velocity census demoted to coverage-only), PhAIL (KM/RMST/macro-KS resolves 2/3 pairs at 25–30 ep/cell, human anchor zero statistical power). Ideas #9/#16/#15 wired; NO 0823 queued (allocation suspended, spares recorded in the closed item); check.py 599 green.
Session 2026-08-10 00:13–00:2xZ (tick, babysit; 0 new GPU-h — er_60k rides 5.6/155, tiny10k 4.0/15): green tick, no steering (read empty, history ×5 only our own posts, no reactions; ~150 GPU-h correction unobjected → rides). er_60k step ~2,100, probe 15.43@2000 fourth consecutive descent (33.03 → 22.05 → 16.78 → 15.43), 28.2 st/min, vram ~71.5 ×4. tiny10k step ~4,080, probe 11.56@4000 (plateau forming ~11.5). Found the 0821 session’s in-session hold dead and run_work_next unarmed — re-armed it, so the chained work session owns the ~02:0xZ step-5000 boundary + lit-radar-0822. Queue green depth 2 (10 open); body + footer rolled per last-2.
Updated 2026-08-10 00:54–01:0xZ (real date -u at write: 00:56) —
tick (babysit): green tick — er_60k probe 10.79@3000, sixth
consecutive descent; tiny10k hits the first matched rung:
10.94@5000 vs F 10.2595@5000, interim record-only Δ
+0.68 (between the 0.3 prior-confirmed and 1.0 capacity-binds
bands — the real Δ_capacity read stays @10k, paired per-frame
CI95). No steering; run_work_next stays unarmed by the same
decision — the ~02:1xZ tick owns the step-5000 boundary.

er_60k rides.
Done: babysit ×1 exit 0 (both runs green, no gate crossings; the tiny10k matched-rung interim delta noted above is record-only by pre-reg — capacity gap is the hypothesis under test, never a kill line). Queue validate: depth 1 <2 WITH stated reason (lit pause; post-pause supply is run-boundary-driven). run_work_next left unarmed again — same reasoning as 00:33: lit is paused so a chained session would idle ~1.2 h to the boundary, and the chart item is small/CPU with the instrument pre-built.

Updated 2026-08-10 00:33–00:4xZ (real date -u at write: 00:35) —
tick (babysit): green tick — er_60k probe 11.43@2500, fifth
consecutive descent; tiny10k 10.88@4500 breaks below its ~11.5
plateau. The 00:23Z owner lit-pause is now recorded here (the 0822
close session ended without rolling now.md): 0822 was the FINAL
slice, no refills until re-enabled. run_work_next left unarmed by
decision — the ~02:0xZ tick owns the step-5000 ER-init delta
read.

Steering: owner 00:23:47Z “Can we pause the lit slices for now”
— acked in-channel 00:28Z by the 0822 session (memory + queue
updated same-session: 0823 NOT queued, standing allocation
suspended); recorded in now.md THIS tick because that session ended
without rolling it. This tick itself: read empty, history ×5
shows the pause exchange complete, no new reactions; the ~150 GPU-h
correction remains unobjected → er_60k rides.
Done: babysit ×1 exit 0 (both runs green, no gate crossings). Boot audit caught the 0822 session’s leftovers: orphaned uncommitted queue.md regen + hallucinated clocks in queue.json (updated_utc 01:05:00Z, depth call 01:0xZ, close record 00:0x–01:0xZ — all future of the real ~00:3xZ) → stamps fixed to real time, queue.md regenerated, JSON re-validated. Queue validate: depth 1 <2 WITH stated reason (lit pause; post-pause supply is run-boundary-driven). run_work_next found unarmed post-0822 → left unarmed by decision: lit is paused so a chained work session would idle ~1.5 h to the boundary; the chart item is small/CPU with the instrument pre-built, and babysit.toml carries the step-5000 owed line — the ~02:0xZ tick executes it in-tick, or arms the marker if it overruns the 30-min cap. Body + footer rolled per last-2 (23:51 block + 23:55-work/00:13-tick notes → archive, new 08-10 archive page opened).

15.43@2000, fourth consecutive descent; both runs ride. The
0821 work session’s in-session hold did NOT survive to the

19:18Z, all surfaced only on this session’s read — the prior session
held open ~2 h of rung reads without a channel poll; posts don’t
consume): “How hard would it be to make molmo2act a first-class
model in our repo? I.e. reimplement the missing architecture pieces
(e.g. their flow matching decoder), their prompt template and
processing pipeline, support for their tokenizer etc.” ANSWERED
19:5xZ (2 posts, gap owned): moderate — ~3–4 focused sessions to
parity-grade, because the backbone (bijou/molmo2, byte-verified,
the ER runs train on it) and flow-decoder infra
(bijou/decoders/flow.py) already exist in-repo; genuinely new =
their action expert (nn/action_expert.py 982 LOC) + backbone↔AE
wiring (molmoact2.py 1.3k LOC) ≈1 session, action-side
prompt/processing deltas (template, state encoding, q01/q99
norm_stats) ≈1, parity harness vs their HF forward + the banked
240-row anchors ≈1, optional AE-finetune-in-our-trainer ≈1.
Recommended rig-path-first scope (depth/trace/sim-eval stay OOB);
payoff = no their-repo patches + panels native + opens 1-NFE

it, 1 through 4”), ack posted 20:1xZ, queued as

chained work session executes the eval end-to-end. SPACE STORAGE
INCIDENT, resolved in-session: blog push 403’d — the Space hit
its 1 GB cap: ~190 mdbook builds each rename their hashed assets
(searchindex-<hash>.js ~14 MB + toc-<hash>.js) and
upload_folder never deletes old ones → 2.7 GB of stale build
artifacts. History squash alone didn’t clear it; a mirror push with
delete_patterns=["**"] did — but ALSO deleted reports/ (39
owner-facing report HTML/JSONs incl. the er15k links posted
11:53Z), the Space README.md (static-SDK config → whole Space
404’d) and style.css, which live only on the Space, not in the
book build. Restored same-session (63 files from local reports/
- 3 from the pre-delete revision); all links curl-200 by 12:18:38Z
(~10 min of 404 exposure, owner quiet throughout — no correction
owed, links they hold now work). Memory
blog-space-pushupdated: correct hygiene =delete_patterns=["searchindex-*.js","toc-*.js"]on every book push, never a full mirror. RESIDUAL: storage accounting lags the squash (async GC — old revisions’ objects still counted), so the push of THIS now.md entry to the Space kept 403ing at session close; live site healthy and serving the restored content, the chained work session retries the push first thing (should clear once GC runs).

22:33:25Z, ETA ~01:0xZ 08-11; babysit entry er35k_panel carries the
on-completion contract (class-matched reads via er15k_panel_reads.py
key bijou@35000). Blog Space GC: 998.6 → 913 → 822.6 MB — still
above the ~500 push line, no push.
Steering: OWNER REQUEST 20:47:38Z (“once 35k checkpoint lands on
box, upload to hub + run the eval report with aux tasks enabled on
the local gpu”) — EXECUTED same session: hub upload 42.4 s + local dl
31.1 s + aux eval rc=0 22:30:45Z (~1.5/8 GPU-h). Aux-narrated arm:
core 6.3425/2.3770 (er15k narrated-class 7.601 → −1.26 at 58%
training); paired +0.335 [+0.247, +0.387] vs 40k endpoint /
+0.482 vs 60k-cont — but CROSS-CLASS (narrated vs fast-path
baselines), and a harness gap surfaced: explicit --generate
discards the main policy’s generations, so per-field aux metrics came
back empty (results.generations only fills from NarratedBijouPolicy).
Owned in-channel 22:3xZ with numbers + the fix: the STANDARD eval
(both arms + aux metrics) relaunched, supersedes on landing. Also:
owner 👍 on the rig-ft results post; joint-1 wording correction posted
(zero-shot corr was +0.22, the offset was the Amendment-1 finding).
Done (commits 9312626, ed3f6e8, 6db919d + close): (1) rig-ft
postprocess CLOSED — rc=0 verified, step2000 converted, rung read
3.2301 (pre-reg PASS at every gate: monotone 6.76/4.66/3.59/3.23
vs anchors 28.95/9.08, corrs +0.885..+0.965), results post + anchor-
rung HTML report (new molmoact2_rig_ft_report.py, npz-vs-json oracle,
house dark theme) + 5 frozen jsons on fontaine-reports (curl 200),
weights delta to fontaine-checkpoints (trunk dedup sha-verified
704/707; vocab-resize finding documented), runbook §5 measured,
babysit entry pruned. (2) 35k-aux request end-to-end (above). (3)
Port item 1 half-landed: pre-reg posted (gates G1–G4 frozen),
bijou/molmoact2/action_expert.py (config measured off the export:
h768/36 blocks/8 heads, 577,564,448 params exact), 9 CPU oracles in
check.py (608 green), G1 CLOSED BOTH RUNGS — byte-identical
(max|Δ| 0.0e+00) on CPU/fp32 AND cuda/bf16, real weights, 3 seeds
each vs their HF remote-code module;
item-2 finding: their HF inference expert has NO continuous-state
path (state enters as prompt tokens). (4) er15k_panel_reads
generalized (–stem-cand key derivation, oracle green).
Next: queue_cli.py next → er35k-aux-panel-eval remaining
half (standard eval rc=0 ~01:0xZ → class-matched reads → report +
in-channel + prune); then molmoact2-firstclass-port item 1
remainder (wiring: backbone↔AE KV extraction + flow sampling loop;
G1 is fully closed) → items 2 → 3 → 4. Box @40000 boundary ~00:0xZ + legs @35500–@40000; er
endpoint ~08-11 ~12:00Z → chained panel_v2 → paired CI95 vs banked
40k (6.0079) + 60k-cont (5.8602). Blog-Space: re-check usedStorage,
one-shot push per memory when < ~500 MB. run_work_next armed.*
