Session notes (rolled from the utilization footer)
Session 2026-08-18 05:48–06:1xZ (work, exploit; 0 GPU-h — CPU-only
instrument item, H100 held for the owner-gated pdnorm launch):
paired-read instrument frozen pre-data + retro-validated (probe vs
disc-1000: +33 CI95 [22, 44], McNemar 37-vs-4), oracles ×7,
check.py 1004 green — run_work_next stays ARMED: panel-row audit
next, GO ask polled at boot + boundary (quiet).
Session 2026-08-18 05:45–05:4xZ (tick; 0 GPU-h — H100 idle by design,
no live runs): quiet tick — GO ask (01:54Z) + both calibration
addenda still pending at ~3h50m; read + history + inbox all empty of
new signals, registry declared-reason current, queue green depth 2
(22 open) — run_work_next stays ARMED: the chained work session
owns sim100-paired-read-instrument + disc1000-panel-row-audit (both
CPU) and polls the GO ask at every boundary.
Session 2026-08-18 02:04–05:2xZ (work, exploit; ~2.8 GPU-h in-session
— HTML report ~0.1 + sim100 baseline ~2.2 + k4l2 panel leg ~0.5, all
banked-checkpoint evals): disc-1000 baseline screen closed
end-to-end pre-GO — demos-holdout 5.763 / sim100 11/100 / panel 58.14
(0% win, OOD), two calibration notes recorded in the pdnorm draft,
worn-row record fix + oracles, one starvation catch-and-relaunch
(66→660 f/min) — run_work_next ARMED: paired-read instrument +
panel-row audit (both CPU) belong to the chained session.
Session 2026-08-18 01:20–01:2xZ (tick; 0 GPU-h — H100 idle, no live
runs): quiet tick, one new signal — owner 👍 on the 21:33
Amendment-1 post caught via the history check (endorsement of the
amendment discipline; verdict + parity confirmation already
executed under it, no reply owed); read + inbox empty, queue green
depth 2 — run_work_next stays ARMED: the chained work session
owns the flow-norm pre-reg draft, then the step-1000 HTML panel.
Session 2026-08-18 00:49–01:2xZ (work, exploit; +~0.1 GPU-h — two
stack-parity probe evals ~1 min each on the freed H100; ledger row
for the discriminator’s final accrual: ~5.8 GPU-h total, ~1.0
in-window before the 08-17 19:45Z cut, ~4.8 post-window — lands in
the next window roll): stack-parity probe CONFIRMS HEALTHY on
the pre-merge instrument (−1.551 vs the comparator’s +2.03, same
units); saves 500+1000 banked to fontaine-checkpoints; verdict
report page + parity chart live; run + upload queue items closed,
flow-norm draft gate lifted, HTML-report refill queued —
run_work_next ARMED: next tick chains into the flow-norm pre-reg
draft.
Session 2026-08-18 00:29–00:4xZ (boundary tick; discriminator run
COMPLETE at ~5.8 GPU-h vs the 12 gate): VERDICT HEALTHY —
distributed path CONVICTED; eval 5.8989@1000, Δ(1000−500) −1.67,
raw and Amendment-1 scale-adjusted rules agree (no instrument
ambiguity); ratio-to-comparator converged to 1.12×;
descent-asymmetry caveat carried with the stack-parity probe queued
as confirmation; verdict posted id 1539072109685379175 —
run_work_next ARMED: the chained work session owns checkpoint
upload, ledger row, blog verdict post, flow-norm pre-reg draft.
Session 2026-08-18 00:07–00:1xZ (tick; GPU-h accruing —
discriminator riding to the ~00:44Z boundary): final pre-verdict
babysit — step 860/1000 healthy, loss 0.4414, 15.12 s/step, VRAM
62.26 vs 78, RAM 50 GB flat; no steering, no post (23:47 step-750
post current), queue green depth 2 — run_work_next stays
unarmed (both CPU queue items verdict-gated); next tick owns step
1000 + Amendment 1, descent-asymmetry caveat likely.
Previous update 2026-08-18 13:17–13:3xZ (real date -u at write: 13:25) —
tick: quiet babysit — pdnorm healthy through step ~508/3000; one
new fact: host-RAM available is 48 GiB (was ~90 at earlier polls) —
investigated, flat, not a leak.
Status: grasp_sft_v2_joint_1gpu_pdnorm LIVE — babysit exit 0:
liveness 5 procs, GPU 66.5 GiB device / util 91%, step 500-sample
+120 over the 12:45→13:17 window (~16 s/step including the
eval@500 + async save@500 pause — effective rate on plan), probe
12.91@250 → 8.24@500 unchanged. Host RAM: available 48 GiB vs
~90 GiB reported at 11:13/13:15 polls — sampled flat over 4 min,
train-proc RSS stable at ~139 GiB (offload-optim states in host RAM
- save@500 serialization high-water; /dev/shm 20/111 GiB), 8
workers ~1.5 GiB each. Verdict: stable plateau, not the
rescale-dataloader leak class. Watch item: re-check
free -gat the ~15:2xZ drift-read tick — a second step-drop after save@1000 would mean per-save growth → escalate before save@1500. Endpoint ETA unchanged ~23:3x–23:4xZ. Queue green depth 2 (22 open).
Steering: none — read empty, unreplied inbox empty, history shows no new reactions. No in-channel post (nothing new since the 11:14 launch post; drift read owns the next post).
Done: babysit CLI (exit 0, facts above); host-RAM investigation (shm/df + nvidia-smi compute-apps — pid 382281 is ours, no owner policy-server claim — + 4-min free/RSS sampling); queue validate green.
Next: ~15:2xZ tick owns the step-1000 drift-guard read (bar
eval@1000 ≤ 8.5419, PROVISIONAL) + the RAM re-check.
run_work_next stays ARMED (marker present, touched 13:16) —
chained work session owns owner-pending-decisions-digest (CPU);
pdnorm-endpoint-close gated on step 3000.*
Previous update 2026-08-18 10:37–13:2xZ (real date -u at write: 13:16) —
work session (chained, bounded): pdnorm LAUNCHED — the ON-GO
checklist executed end to end under the 10:25Z delegation: pre-reg
stamped + posted, fit smoke green, grasp_sft_v2_joint_1gpu_pdnorm
live on the H100 since 11:02:21Z, ridden through the step-500
boundary.
Status: grasp_sft_v2_joint_1gpu_pdnorm LIVE (unit
fontaine-v2-joint-pdnorm, launched 11:02:21Z) — step 500/3000 at
13:15Z, probe 12.91@250 → 8.24@500 (disc anchor 12.51/7.57 —
slightly above the demosonly curve at both points, falling
healthily), loss 0.70@380, 14.9–15.1 s/step, VRAM 62.21/71 gate,
util median 86–100% (no starvation), host RAM ~90 GiB available,
save@500 captured async 15.6 s. Drift-guard bar set: eval@1000 ≤
8.5419 (= 8.2419 + 0.30), read at the ~15:2xZ boundary
(PROVISIONAL). Endpoint ETA ~23:3x–23:4xZ. Queue green depth 2
(22 open).
Steering: none new — polled at boot 10:37, at every babysit checkpoint (11:11, 11:45, 12:15, 12:45, 13:15): read + inbox empty throughout.
Done (this session, commits a97636c + 8d9a62d; posts
1539224047244546171 decision/pre-reg + 1539230915379859507 launch):
pre-reg renamed to 2026-08-18-…-pdnorm.md, header records the GO
decision under the delegation, SUMMARY’d, blog pushed pre-post
(page curl 200); fit smoke 10:52Z (62.18 GiB peak, ckpt metadata
q01q99_per_dataset verified); launch 11:02:21Z via systemd-run;
babysit.toml entry live (vram 71 / 15 GPU-h gates, drift + sim100
anchors); first poll green; ridden through eval@250, eval@500,
save@500. Queue: pdnorm-on-go-runbook closed superseded-by-
execution → pdnorm-endpoint-close refill (gpu-local, gated on
step 3000); owner-pending-decisions-digest re-scoped to the
delegation frame (decide-and-announce sweep + short owner-owned
digest).
Next: queue_cli.py next → owner-pending-decisions-digest
(CPU, un-gated — workable during the training window); then
pdnorm-endpoint-close at step 3000 (~23:3x–23:4xZ 08-18: sim100
pair → paired read vs 11/100, panel leg, ladder --endpoint
restamp, truthfit rewear, pdnormendpoint report, verdict post,
bank if load-bearing). Step-1000 drift read ~15:2xZ rides the tick
babysit. run_work_next ARMED — GPU busy, CPU queue non-empty.*
Previous update 2026-08-18 10:28–10:5xZ (real date -u at write: 10:32) —
tick: OWNER STEERING — GO-gating retired (“Don’t ask for my GO,
you decide what to run”, 10:25Z) and a 16h summary requested + both
delivered same-session; pdnorm launch decided GO by me — the chained
work session executes the ON-GO checklist immediately.
Status: no live runs — H100 0%/0 MiB at boot, but the idle-by-design hold is OVER: the launch decision is now mine and taken. Queue green depth 2 (22 open). The 01:54Z GO ask closed at 10:25Z (~8h31m) — answered with delegation, not a GO.
Steering (two owner messages 10:25Z, both replied in-channel +
acked, inbox empty at close): (1) “Don’t ask for my GO, you decide
what to run” — standing rule, recorded in memory
(no-go-asks-fontaine-decides): never gate a run on owner approval;
decide + announce in-channel as a decision post, pre-reg discipline
(date + post before launch) stays. (2) “Do give me a summary in
plain words as well as in depth about everything that’s been going
on last 16h” — delivered same-session: ack/decision post
1539220047854043237, plain-words post 1539220090682216510, in-depth
timeline post 1539220187197349929.
Done: Discord read (3 new: the 10:24 bot post + the two owner messages) + history + inbox cleared (both ids acked after replies); 16h summary composed from the git log (17th 18:30Z → 10:29Z) and posted — the discriminator HEALTHY arc (12.51@250 → 5.90@1000, both Amendment-1 rules, parity probe concordant), the wear audit + honest re-wear ladder (SFT@1000 27.40 / released 27.14 / repo-midpoint null 25.15, same-wear read: no competence destroyed, none built, none there to begin with), the GO-path automation arc, ~6.7 GPU-h in the window; steering memory + MEMORY.md index line written; pdnorm launch decided GO and announced in-channel.
Next: chained work session (run_work_next ARMED, marker
present) executes the ON-GO checklist NOW — check compute-apps for
the owner policy-server claim first, then date + post the pdnorm
pre-reg, fit smoke, launch on the H100 (bijou.train via
systemd-run unit), babysit.toml registry update + first-poll
util/starvation check; sim100 + panel leg + endpoint report (ladder
- estimator-seam + paired read, all automatic) at the boundary. The queued pdnorm-on-go-runbook item is superseded-by-execution — close or convert it at the work session’s queue touch; owner-pending-decisions-digest follows (re-scope it too: the GO-ask entry is resolved).*
Previous update 2026-08-18 10:10–10:2xZ (real date -u at write: 10:25) —
work session (chained, bounded): pdnorm-endpoint-report-seam-line
DONE — the ON-GO endpoint report now renders the estimator-seam
cross-check automatically; the whole GO-path read (ladder figure +
seam line + paired read) composes with zero manual steps.
Status: no live runs — H100 idle by design (0% util, 0 MiB at
boot; no_live_runs_reason current, held for the owner-gated pdnorm
launch). Queue green depth 2 (22 open). GO ask (01:54Z) still
unanswered at ~8h30m; polled at boot 10:11 and at close 10:20 (read +
inbox empty both times).
Steering: none — read empty at boot and close, unreplied inbox
empty.
Done (this session, commit 7d8a1d3, post id
1539218376281423873): grasp_sft_joint_unseen_report.py grew
--truthfit-json — the pdnormendpoint preset defaults to
reports/analysis__pdnorm_endpoint_truthfit_wear.json, quiet-skip on
the absent default (the json exists only once the ON-GO endpoint npz
does), loud on an explicit missing flag (the ladder-embed behavior
split). estimator_seam_line renders
pdnorm_endpoint_truthfit_rewear.py’s ladder_read block verbatim
under the ladder figure: endpoint native → truth-fit row, the seam
delta, and the truth-fit ladder anchors (disc-1000 /
released-optional / repo-midpoint null); foreign-json refusal on
missing seam keys; the NATIVE row stays the headline
(deployment-honest). Oracles +7 (render-verbatim, released-omitted,
foreign refusal, under-ladder placement, seam-without-sidecar
independence, preset-default path, quiet-absent + loud-missing);
check.py 1045 green. Pre-reg calibration note names the automatic
embed. Queue: item closed done; refill pdnorm-on-go-runbook (CPU,
PRE-GO — consolidate the scattered ON-GO checklist into one
git-audited copy-paste runbook).
Next: queue_cli.py next → pdnorm-on-go-runbook (CPU, PRE-GO
landable), then owner-pending-decisions-digest (CPU,
condition-on-silence). The pdnorm RUN stays owner-gated (ON-GO
checklist: date + post the pre-reg, fit smoke, launch, re-run the
ladder chart with --endpoint; ladder figure + estimator-seam line +
paired read all automatic in the report build). run_work_next
ARMED — GPU idle but the CPU queue is non-empty.*

work session (chained, bounded):
pdnorm-endpoint-truthfit-wear-crosscheck DONE — the estimator seam
between the ON-GO endpoint row and the ladder anchors now has a
dry-landed instrument; the last wear caveat on the GO path closes
automatically on GO.
Status: no live runs — H100 idle by design (0% util, 0 MiB at

Steering: none — read empty at boot and close, unreplied inbox
empty.
Done (this session, commit 6941cfa): new sibling
pdnorm_endpoint_truthfit_rewear.py — inverts the ON-GO endpoint npz
per repo through each panel repo’s NATIVE recorded training-table row
(its meta/stats.json q01/q99, the row StatsAttachedDataset
attaches at eval) and re-expresses through the panel-truth-fit rows
the 27.40/27.14/25.15 anchors wear, recording the native-vs-truth-fit
estimator delta alongside the ladder read. Git audit corrected the
queue wording: the checkpoint’s per_dataset_stats holds only the 3
TRAINING repos and is inert on the panel (bijou/data.py:983).
Per-repo inversion identity enforced repo-by-repo (swapped-rows
refusal), degenerate-span joints pinned to midpoint with an
at-the-constant bound (5 real panel (repo,joint) pairs will exercise
it), scheme + contract-path + anchor + midpoint-null-identity guards;
the NATIVE row stays the deployment-honest headline. Oracles +7;
check.py 1037 green; all 838 panel repos’ native rows load-verified;
CLI smoke-refused correctly on the global-table disc-1000 leg.
Pre-reg calibration note names the instrument. Queue: item closed
done; refill pdnorm-endpoint-report-seam-line (CPU, PRE-GO —
wire the crosscheck json into the pdnormendpoint report preset,
same automation pattern as the ladder embed).
Next: queue_cli.py next → pdnorm-endpoint-report-seam-line
(CPU, PRE-GO landable), then owner-pending-decisions-digest (CPU,
condition-on-silence). The pdnorm RUN stays owner-gated (ON-GO
checklist: date + post the pre-reg, fit smoke, launch, re-run the
ladder chart with --endpoint; report embed automatic; truthfit
crosscheck now on the checklist via the calibration note).
run_work_next ARMED — GPU idle but the CPU queue is non-empty.*

Done (this session, commit 353f6db):
grasp_sft_joint_unseen_report.py grew --ladder-b64 +
ladder_section() — embeds the pdnorm_panel_ladder_chart.py b64
sidecar as a “Panel anchor ladder” figure directly below the meta
line’s textual ladder; the pdnormendpoint preset defaults to the
chart script’s sidecar path reports/pdnorm_panel_ladder.b64, so on
GO the endpoint session just re-runs the chart with --endpoint <row>
and builds the report — zero manual embed. Behavior split: explicit
flag is loud on a missing file, preset default quiet-skips (reports/
is gitignored, sidecar regenerable); payload asserted base64-PNG.
Real 08-18 sidecar smoke-rendered through the section. Oracles +6 in

audit; re-expresses the released checkpoint’s banked panel
predictions through the SAME honest per-repo rows the disc-1000
27.40 reference wears (output-side only, no model re-run). Integrity:
anchors reproduced (25.8924/8.3678), inversion round-trip worst
1.5e-05°, midpoint-null identity anchor PASSED (panels
element-identical → honest rows byte-identical, null 25.154476 both
sides). Same-wear read: released honest-wear 27.14 vs SFT@1000
27.40 (Δ +0.26) — wear held fixed, SFT neither destroyed nor built
community competence, and both rows are slightly WORSE than the

elbow_flex 43.1→36.2, same two dominant motors. Landed: analysis

Findings: wear fact — normalization: "q01q99" +
per_dataset_flow_norm: false ⇒ every panel item wore the

consulted; “missing community rows” never arises). Decomposition —
85.8% of core truth elements outside the worn box but the box FLOOR
is only 14.40 of the 58.14 and predictions are NOT edge-saturated:
the wear hurts via affine re-expression, not the clamp. Re-wearing
the same normalized predictions through honest per-repo rows (838)
halves the row to 27.40 — but that is WORSE than a constant
repo-box-midpoint null (25.15), and raw predictions sit 22.6

(11/100, inside the pdnorm draft’s own ambiguous band), and the k4l2
panel leg (58.14 vs state-copy 8.37, 0% win — catastrophically OOD on
community data). Two calibration notes recorded in the draft
pre-launch, owner flagged twice with the GO ask still open.
Status: no live runs — H100 idle again at close; the pdnorm run stays staged and owner-gated (GO ask pending since 01:54Z, now with two pre-launch addenda in-channel). The k4l2 panel leg completed IN-session (04:57Z, ~0.5 GPU-h, rc 0) after a starvation catch-and-relaunch: attempt 1 (batch 12/workers 8) read 66 f/min / 38–57% util / projected 5.7 GPU-h vs the 3 gate and was killed 4.7 min in per the first-poll rule; r2 (batch 32/workers 20) ran 96% util, ~660 f/min. GO ask polled every 2–5 min throughout (tight-poll rule), quiet at every poll.
Steering: none — read empty at every poll (~50 polls 02:04 →
04:2xZ), unreplied inbox empty. The GO ask remains the standing
owner-pending item; the 04:3xZ result post adds a pre-launch
calibration flag to it (see Done) and offers a band re-freeze as an
owner option.
Done (commits 369d90d, bba4a45, this close): (1)
disc-step1000-html-report — current-stack eval on the
probe-matched pins: chunk MAE 5.763 vs state-copy 7.671 (paired
−1.95), wrist_roll 12.31 worst motor; reproduces the old-stack parity
5.7626 to 3 decimals (in-train 5.8989 = the known ×1.024
probe-vs-eval shift). HTML+JSON on fontaine-reports, reports.md
section. (2) disc-step1000-sim100-baseline ridden end-to-end
(~2.2/3 GPU-h, rc 0, 0 strikes): 11/100 grasps, mean progress
2.04 cm, 64/100 moved, 7/11 success seeds shared with the probe’s 44
— top edge of the broken class’s CI (~2–11), far below the probe
band: healthy training + honest stats + demos-only corpus does NOT
restore probe-level grasping. Report + clips + json on
fontaine-reports; pre-reg draft’s baseline-arms section updated
pre-launch with the measured cell + calibration note (the ≥20
exoneration bar = ~2× the demosonly control; paired per-seed read
added as a recorded non-gating read). Result post in-channel
(id 1539128272238022686). (3) Worn-row record fix: both sim
drivers’ out-json now records the row actually WORN
(worn_stats_key, oracle ×5) — the default-path record used to
claim the rig key even when the lookup fell back to the merged
table (this leg’s json carries the old mislabel, noted in
reports.md). (4) disc1000 preset + low-success tolerance in
grasp_sft_joint_unseen_report.py (smoke-tested on synthetic 4- and
0-success jsons before the real data). (5) k4l2 panel leg run to
completion (04:57Z, ~0.5 GPU-h; protocol pinned in
eval_disc1000_k4l2_panel.sh — the pdnorm endpoint leg must copy
it): chunk MAE 58.14 vs state-copy 8.37, 0% win — the demosonly
checkpoint is catastrophically OOD on community data (worst motors
shoulder_lift 104 / elbow_flex 99 / wrist_roll 71) while beating
state-copy on its own demos holdout. Mechanism deliberately NOT
adjudicated pre-launch (forgetting vs demos-table window at serving —
audit item queued); calibration note #2 in the draft: the +0.05
paired panel guard is near-vacuous at this baseline (kept frozen;
endpoint comparison vs state-copy + released row recorded
alongside). HTML+json on fontaine-reports, npz pairing substrate
local; second addendum in-channel (id 1539138967352512622). (6)
Queue: all three disc-1000 items closed done; refills
sim100-paired-read-instrument + disc1000-panel-row-audit (both
CPU, both want to land before the pdnorm endpoint reads); validate
green depth 2 (22 open). Babysit registry: disc train + sim100 +

then disc1000-panel-row-audit (both CPU, un-gated). The pdnorm
RUN stays owner-gated (GO ask + two calibration flags pending; ON-GO

(this tick ends straight into it) and at every work boundary.
Done: Discord read + history + inbox checks; GPU-idle check;

Next: chained work session (4-h budget) owns disc-step1000-html-report (small GPU, un-gated) then disc-step1000-sim100-baseline (~2 GPU-h, un-gated), polling the GO ask at each boundary. On GO: execute the ON-GO checklist (date + post the pre-reg, fit smoke, launch pdnorm).*
Previous update 2026-08-18 01:23–02:0xZ (real date -u at write: 02:00) —
work session (chained): per-dataset-flow-norm pre-reg DRAFT cut —
arm decided (mixed-v2), launcher staged + full-parse green,
sim-serving worn-row instrument landed with oracles; GO ask
in-channel.
Status: no live runs — H100 idle (0% util; owner policy-server not up at check). The pdnorm run is fully staged and owner-gated (GO ask pending since 01:54Z, post id 1539090183914397727).
Steering: none — boot read + unreplied inbox empty; a post-ask
poll at 01:59Z surfaced only our own GO post. The GO ask is now the
standing owner-pending item; tick cadence owns the poll.
Done (commit ba89c60): (1) Pre-reg DRAFT
[posts/2026-08-xx-prereg-grasp-sft-v2-joint-pdnorm.md] (dated +
SUMMARY’d at the GO posting, disc convention). Arm decision recorded:
mixed-v2, not demosonly — with one train dataset
--recompute-stats pools over exactly that dataset, so the per-item
row IS the merged table and the flag is a numerical no-op; the
mechanism (and the isolation post’s clean fourth cell) exists only on
the mix. ONE recipe delta vs the mixed-v2 box recipe, re-platformed
through the discriminator’s proven 1-GPU form (eff-96 unchanged ⇒ no
OOM-ladder preflight; seed 0; 3000 steps). Frozen grid: sim100 flow
@3000 on 100 unseen seeds — ≥20/100 mix exonerated / ≤10 mix prime
suspect / 11–19 owner; drift guard Δ(1000−500) ≤ +0.30 (disc
instrument, same stack); k4l2 panel paired vs disc-1000 (+0.05 CI
guard; wrist_flex/wrist_roll the predicted movers); GPU-h gate 21.
(2) Launcher staged
launch_local_grasp_sft_v2_joint_1gpu_pdnorm_h100.sh, full-parse
green vs the merged CLI (family-inferred molmoact2_joint,
per_dataset_flow_norm=True). (3) Instrument prep landed: the sim
drivers hardcoded the RIG stats row — under the per-dataset scheme a
mixed checkpoint would re-crush wrist_roll at sim serving (the exact
288%-overflow class the flag fixes at training); both drivers gain
--stats-repo-id (resolve_worn_stats: loud refusal on a miss,
default bit-unchanged; oracle tests/test_worn_stats_row.py ×4).
check.py 996 green. (4) Queue: draft item closed done; run item
staged blocked/owner-gated with the ON-GO checklist;
disc-step1000-sim100-baseline refill queued (un-gated — fills the
demosonly-v2 grasp cell of the isolation grid either way); validate
green depth 2 (22 open). (5) GO ask posted in-channel (doubles as the
result post).
Next: queue_cli.py next → disc-step1000-html-report (small
GPU, un-gated), then disc-step1000-sim100-baseline (~2 GPU-h,
un-gated). The pdnorm RUN pends the owner GO. run_work_next ARMED —
GPU idle + un-gated queue non-empty; the next tick chains into the
HTML report and polls the GO ask.*

ARMED, work session chains into the flow-norm pre-reg draft.
Status: no live runs — H100 idle (0% util, 0 MiB; owner
policy-server not up at check). Queue green depth 2 (21 open); head
item prereg-draft-per-dataset-flow-norm-rerun (CPU, gate lifted)
belongs to the chained work session, not this 30-min tick.
Steering: NEW — 👍×1 on our 21:33 step-250/Amendment-1 post
(id 1539024477260882000), caught via history -n 5; no tick since
21:33 had recorded a reaction there, so it’s new since the 00:49
close. Read: owner endorsement of the amendment discipline
(compute-both-rules, AMBIGUOUS-BY-INSTRUMENT branch, stack-parity
disambiguator) — the verdict was executed under exactly that
structure and the parity probe confirmed HEALTHY, so the
endorsement is retroactively satisfied; recorded per the
reaction-as-steering rule, no reply owed (agreement; verdict +
parity result posts already stand). Otherwise quiet: read empty
(cursor already past our 00:58 parity post), unreplied inbox empty.
Done: Discord read + history + inbox checks; queue validate
green; GPU-idle check; run_work_next confirmed ARMED (armed 01:18
by the work-session close — this tick leaves it in place). No
in-channel post (nothing new to report; the 00:58 parity post is
current).
Next: chained work session (4-h budget) owns
prereg-draft-per-dataset-flow-norm-rerun (baseline arm = the
discriminator run itself; wrist_roll parity corroboration folded
in), then disc-step1000-html-report (small GPU, un-gated).
Owner-pending list unchanged.*
Previous update 2026-08-18 00:49–01:2xZ (real date -u at write: 01:18) —
work session (chained): discriminator post-processing CLOSED —
stack-parity probe CONFIRMS the HEALTHY verdict on the pre-merge
instrument; checkpoints banked; verdict report page live.
Status: no live runs — the H100 is idle (no compute apps; owner policy-server not up at check). Next GPU work is owner-gated (the flow-norm rerun awaits its draft + GO) except the queued step-1000 HTML-panel item (small, un-gated).
Steering: none — boot read surfaced only our own 00:43 verdict
post (cursor advance), unreplied inbox empty.
Done (commit 1b07772): (1) Stack-parity probe run (both
saves, pre-registered pins, ~1 min each on the freed H100):
old-stack units 7.3137@500 → 5.7626@1000, Δ(1000−500) = −1.551
vs healthy ≤ +0.30 / drift_min +1.0158 / the drifting comparator’s
actual +2.03 on the same instrument — HEALTHY confirms in
comparator-era units; the units-artifact half of the
descent-asymmetry caveat is retired (residual not-yet-plateaued
footnote carried). Refinement: same-checkpoint cross-stack ratios
×1.034 @500 / ×1.024 @1000 — the family-norm merge moved the probe
~2–3%; Amendment 1’s s=3.613 was model-level difference at 250, not
units (rules agreed, verdict unchanged). wrist_roll is the worst
motor under the old table (16.87/12.31 vs state-copy 3.99) —
corroborates the 288% occupancy overflow, feeds the flow-norm
draft. (2) Checkpoints banked: saves 500+1000 weights-only +
both jsonls → fontaine-checkpoints/grasp_sft_v2_demosonly_1gpu_disc
(upload exit 0; step-1000 = first non-drifting v2-corpus
checkpoint). (3) Verdict report page
posts/2026-08-18-sft-drift-discriminator-verdict.md
with the new parity chart (stack_parity_chart.py, eval-report dark
scheme); posts-index drift fixed (3 missing 08-17 entries). (4)

the whole verdict window.
Steering: none — read empty, unreplied inbox empty, history -n 5 only our posts.
Done: held the session through the boundary (§6) — babysit exit
0 at step 950, sleep-polled to the 00:42Z probe, then ran the frozen
instrument (sft_drift_saga_charts.py --discriminator): HEALTHY
under the raw rule (−1.67 ≤ +0.30) AND Amendment 1’s scale-adjusted
rule (−1.67 ≤ +1.084) — the rules agree ⇒
torchrun + zero1 + chunk-grad-allreduce CONVICTED (the
pre-registered HEALTHY meaning: that stack is the delta separating
every drifting 8× run from every healthy one; same recipe on 1 GPU
stayed healthy). Ratio-to-comparator converged 3.61× @250 → 2.34×
@500 → 1.56× @750 → 1.12× @1000 (5.90 vs their 5.27 — theirs
rising since 500, ours still falling). Descent-asymmetry caveat
carried per the 22:34 pre-record (bounds satisfied trivially by a
still-descending curve; stack-parity probe of saves 500/1000 is the

Amendment 1 + post-processing outgrow its 30 min.
Next: boundary tick (~00:4x–01:0xZ, likely the ~00:49 fire)

disagree ⇒ AMBIGUOUS-BY-INSTRUMENT + stack_parity_probe.sh run
