Deliver one complete C0+tell Strategy.sol prototype. Independently port tellref (do not wait for other items) and pass all 11856 vectors. Change only first-trade inference/state; keep C0 tables and soft=1. Persist exact prior reserve WADs from initialization and every callback, plus the actually returned clamped fee WADs. isBuy means pool buys X: use amountX/bid; otherwise amountY/ask. Compute grid/hit/chance before replacing prior reserves. Off grid pi=0; on grid use la/(la+lr*min(1,ulp(paid)/grid)); never pin on a hit alone. Preserve timestamp-zero behavior, same-step retail handling and synced/counter semantics. Expose classification through a test-only harness. Use Python reference traces from replica tuning seeds 60000..60019; generate integer fixtures and replay in forge. Test first/same-step trades, initialization, fee persistence and accidental retail hits. Report vector parity, local callback gas, byte size and failures. Max runtime 24576; aim afterSwap <=245000 with zero errors. Compare fees against tellpol.TellPolicy soft=1: drive replica with contract fees and set shadow fb/fa to returned fees each callback. If the local replay cannot drive a closed loop, mark that gate pending, never claim it passed. Report full-table and C0-compressed-table error separately; compression does not waive the required full TellPolicy <=0.01 bps gate.

Recover C0 table-compression loss with ONE method: {{method}} Use C0's embedded spline coefficients/decoder as baseline; the qmref.py section and linked QMS1 artifact explain it. Verify decoded inputs. C0 has 3971 runtime bytes free BEFORE the detector, so budget the method's net bytes and lookup operations, preserving room for detection. Prefer a small portable generator/packed payload over shipping expanded tables. Keep TellPolicy's classifier/filter and qm_k1e-5 information weight fixed. Tune only replica seeds 60000..60255 through unmodified run.py. Freeze one representation before evaluating once on 10000..12047 via run.py tellpol:TellPolicy with its decoded qm file, against tell_qm.json. Do not retune after holdout. Supply paired{n,mean_diff,se,sum,sumsq,worst5}, rows, first-trade misread and price RMS, table error vs full qm, bytes, gas estimate labeled estimate, and improvement over C0-compressed TellPolicy on tuning seeds. Report max fee difference to full TellPolicy on shared tuning callbacks; final port still needs <=0.01 bps. Include deterministic codec/generator and packed tables in result bundle; no missing blobs, no scratch-only deliverable. Preserve ask/bid mirror, phase/synced and sd axes.

Deliver one behavior-preserving C0 lookup optimization to free room for tell and table recovery. Focus on knot-span searches/basis reuse and coefficient dispatch; do not alter knots, coefficients, filters, precision or fee rule. Keep all source and tests portable. Differential-test optimized vs unchanged C0 on all table boundary/knot/sd/phase/synced cases plus reachable callback traces from replica seeds 61000..61019. Assert exact fee equality where possible; report every nonzero difference instead of hiding rounding changes. Use forge for gas comparison under the same compiler and state; report per-case maxima, whole afterSwap maxima, runtime/initcode bytes and delta vs C0.

Self-check on unchanged C0 with its qmref.py and linked QMS1 blob; report full-TellPolicy disagreement separately. Closed loop: replica uses contract fees; tellpol.TellPolicy shadow gets the same callbacks and fb/fa are overwritten by returned fees after each call. Compare <=0.01 bps, both sides, on >=20 complete tuning runs from 62000; reproduce WAD handoff. Check 11856 detector vectors for candidates exposing isArb.

Negative-test intentionally wrong fee/state fixtures. Engine mode: candidate and exact C0 each ALONE vs VanillaStrategy, identical configs per MatchRunner._build_configs, variance RNG seeded by actual seed; amm_sim_rs.run_batch(X,VanillaStrategy,configs,8). One script loops four 64-seed blocks (256/item), saves each arm as it lands, never reruns completed seeds, resets/collects gas_stats per arm/block, outputs per-seed edges and paired{n,mean_diff,se,sum,sumsq,worst5}.

Prefix later commands with `. scratch/env.sh && `. Keep wheel/engine unpatched. Prove the detector on the unpatched wheel over 8 runs, seeds {{seed0}}..{{seed1}}, once each. {{approach}} Port tellref.is_arb to a probe Strategy; first pass all 11856 expected vectors. Return 30 bps plus tiny integer fee telemetry encoding last callback step and FIRST callback grid hit. Retain that bit across later callbacks; encode per-step callback/hit counters for exact all-trade denominators. Prove integer->f64->result decoding without collision/overflow; report max fee perturbation. Detection uses prior actually returned/clamped fees and reserves. Use amm_sim_rs.run_batch(probe,VanillaStrategy,configs,8), configs per MatchRunner._build_configs with variance RNG seeded by actual seed. One script saves completed blocks (<=64 seeds), not a command per block. Decode truth OUTSIDE the contract: arb at t iff spot[t-1] < gamma_ask*p[t] OR p[t] < gamma_bid*spot[t-1], using fees in force and initial reserves/fees at t=0. No fair price/truth in contract. Handle silent steps/stale telemetry. Report boundary ambiguities; never drop them.

Leave every unrelated mechanism fixed. Work blind through unmodified run.py; needs_flag must remain false; never use fair price, true arb flag, rival state, seed or run parameters in policy decisions. Any new arithmetic leakage feature must be computed from afterSwap WAD integers and stored previous WAD reserves/fees, not unavailable low bits of Python floats. Tune only seeds {{tune0}}..{{tune1}}, compare to TellPolicy there, freeze ONE variant and hash its code/parameters. Then score it ONCE on all 10000..12047 through `python3 -I run.py module:Policy 10000 2048 out.json soft=1 qm=qm_k1e-5.json` against shipped tell_qm.json; do not rerun the baseline or retune after looking. A single driver may checkpoint disjoint chunks without reusing a holdout seed. pair.py prints rounded statistics: also compute full-precision paired{n,mean_diff,se,sum,sumsq,worst5} from per-seed differences. Return holdout rows (compressed in bundle), tuning choices, first-trade misread counts/rate, price RMS, time since pin diagnostics, and concrete estimated Solidity state/operations/gas (label unmeasured gas). Instrument diagnostics without passing truth into the policy. Gains >=0.2 are integration leads, not engine results. A negative result still returns complete code and measurements; no broad idea sweep.

   the whole memo

   Episode 1 of 12; no prior results, refusals, batches or trunk. Plan: 12 research items across 7 small batches, 7 Track A / 2 P / 3 C; 148 of 160 seats remain after acceptance. No code trunk: workers keep their own files in test/scratch and must transport complete source/scripts through compressed JSON results. No leaderboard entry, transaction, publication or submission is authorized. Inputs actually read: goal.json and orchestrator reference; research base https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtmcknight/amm-sim/66604b3426d8e97a73e2c39940b9b4dece51cc73/research. Ran its tell/fetch.sh into scratch: all 34 files fetched, 0 hash mismatches. Read TELL.md, solved README, tellref/tellpol/run/pair/check and relevant engine interfaces. C0 artifact https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/8a6e303b662e1a5ea9bb47f31acedd3988ef65b3ddb66d074517aa59ad41ca40 hashes to its URL; extracted Solidity is 42990 bytes, SHA256 c68887cff61180e12ba2b1ceb333edf76a830f91f63b5d775a8806fb9ec08aca. Its report says runtime 20605, engine afterSwap peak 208775. These are prior claims, not rerun here. Verified vector file has 11856 rows. All measured performance remains pending; no simulation was run in this episode. Current objective supersedes the older solved README: C0 board 524.94, first 528.42, target +3.48, 5th +3.16; these are request-pinned figures, not a fresh board check. The tell replica gain +3.21 se .02 is promising but not engine proof. Keep qm_k1e-5. No speed gates, host inspection or asking workers what machine they have. Failed setup/execution returns only blocked{step,error}; measured numerical gate failures return evidence and invalid status. All items can run without sibling results. Two exact detector implementations provide redundancy; one independently integrated C0 prototype gives an early candidate. Two compression methods and one lookup optimization attack accuracy/space/gas. The harness checks actual closed-loop fee parity and provides the eventual paired engine runner. Critical semantics: nine tellref arguments are exact WAD integers; compare to vector expected, not arb truth. The engine rounds fee->f64, divide by 1e18, subtract from one; forward-convert candidate paid values including tiny amounts. isBuy means pool BOUGHT X, so amountX/bid; otherwise amountY/ask. Retain previous actual reserve WADs and fees on every callback. Only first trade of a new step changes inference. Off-grid pi=0; on-grid posterior discounts retail likelihood by min(1,ulp(paid)/grid). A hit never pins alone. soft=0 can later save bytes/gas but must use a correspondingly configured shadow and must still use posterior odds. Preserve C0 timestamp-zero policy semantics; the probe independently handles t=0 using initial reserves and fees. Engine proof uses two independent 8-run probes and telemetry with exact counters. Truth is decoded only by harness from returned fair_price, prior submission spot and fees actually in force. Count silent steps, first trades and all callbacks correctly; no dropping misses/ambiguous rows. Float telemetry roundtrip, false negatives and prior-fee semantics are decisive. If probes disagree or any true arb is missed, diagnose detector/conversion/telemetry before wide score batches. Do not patch the wheel to get labels. Seed ledger (reservations, NOT claims of execution): e01-p-engine-probe/probe-reference = 14000000..14000007 inclusive; probe-independent = 14000008..14000015. No other engine seeds assigned in episode 1. Next unallocated engine seed is 14000016. Treat allocated/attempted seeds as spent on failure unless provenance proves unused; retries get new ranges. Replica seeds are a separate namespace: tuning >=60000, once-only holdout 10000..12047 per frozen variant vs tell_qm.json. Gate/harness tuning runs never count as engine evidence. Source uses MatchRunner variance RNG default_rng(actual_seed), not zero-based block position. Use official setup at the pinned challenge commit 6b6921f8d463314aa7c96234e1be25a25245f704; source scratch/env.sh, keep wheel unpatched. Next episode: read all 12 individual results, including bundles; verify their decoded hashes/coverage and ensure checks were executed rather than inferred. Select exact detector by correctness first, then gas. Combine with best integration prototype and behavior-preserving savings; recover compression where needed. Full candidate gates: 11856/11856 vectors; closed-loop replica driven by contract fees with tellpol shadow fb/fa overwritten after each call; <=0.01 bps on both sides; afterSwap peak<=245000, 0 OOG/revert/other failures; amm-match validate; runtime<=24576, no assembly, <=32 slots. Full-table parity must be reported separately from compressed-table fidelity; never declare full TellPolicy parity by replacing its tables. An early C0-compressed prototype may fail this strict gate; retain it as diagnostic, repair before promotion. An optimized soft=0 port is an allowed later experiment, not permission to pin on grid hits. After probes and port gates pass, freeze source hash and launch small candidate-vs-C0 engine pilots: exactly 256 unique seeds per item, both arms alone vs VanillaStrategy on SAME configs, four blocks of 64 under one checkpointing script, run_batch(...,8). Persist each arm/block as it lands; never rerun completed seeds or share ranges across candidates/items. Reset/collect gas_stats per arm/block. Need paired n, mean_diff, se, sum, sumsq, worst5 and exact seed rows, source/setup/wheel hashes. Pool differences using sums/sumsq and n, never average SEs; pooled variance=(sumsq-sum*sum/n)/(n-1), se=sqrt(variance/n). Reject any OOG/revert or peak above 245000 regardless of score. Carry best frozen valid candidate to a dedicated 4096-seed confirmation (16 items x256), ideally fresh beyond selection pilots; reserve at least these 16 seats. If code/tables change, use new source hash and new seeds, never pool versions. Keep most later items in A (integration, gates, paired engine blocks), with a few single-idea C items per round and no more probes unless evidence calls for them. C gains >=0.2 enter the next A candidate only after blindness and portability review. Report engine gap to C0 with uncertainty and worst cases; 524.94+gap is an estimate, not an achieved board rank. Goal enters nothing. Finish only with tested best source, reproducible evidence and explicit residual limitations; do not claim first on replica results or a point estimate alone. Wake on all seven batches settling, or 90 minutes as a fallback. If a timer wakes while useful work runs, inspect actual state and avoid duplicate spawns; no cancellation planned. Reserve later episodes for repairs, validation and final confirmation rather than spending the entire budget on speculative ideas. Keep this ledger, source hashes and accepted result URLs in updated notes; scratch files from this orchestrator are not handed onward.

B=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtmcknight/amm-sim/66604b3426d8e97a73e2c39940b9b4dece51cc73/research: curl -LsSf $B/tell/fetch.sh -o test/scratch/fetch.sh && sh test/scratch/fetch.sh $B test/scratch/amm; read tell/README.md. If a setup step fails return only {"blocked":{"step","error"}}. ONE idea: {{idea}} Start from tellpol.TellPolicy soft=1 qm=qm_k1e-5.json and change only that idea. Stay blind: the policy sees only callbacks, through unmodified run.py. Tune on seeds 60000 and up only; freeze; then score once: run.py on 10000..12047 paired against tell_qm.json rows. RESULT JSON: idea; frozen params; tuning summary; holdout paired{n,mean_diff,se,sum,sumsq,worst5}; a portability note (state, ops, est. bytes and gas in Solidity); code_zb64 (zlib+base64) of your policy file and its sha256; commands; not_done. A null result is a result: report it.

   Episode 2 of 12. Items used 12+6=18 of 160. LEARNED (ep1 results, URLs = https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/<sha256 of result>, workers can fetch them): - bounded-bitmath (22122152...1d905): TellMath.isArb + ulpOverGridWad, 11856/11856 vectors + 6892 edge vectors, 0 mismatch; inline gas mean 17.2k max 20.9k; harness runtime 2949 B; code_sha256 77075345...0e92. CHOSEN detector. - literal-rational (122533c0...a38): also 11856/11856; backup. - lookup-headroom (9093159e...3741): C0 with cheaper lookup, fees bit-identical (218129 trace calls, 0 diff), forge afterSwap peak -11.7k, runtime 20128 (-477 B), code_sha256 85ba1c4b...60f5. - probe-reference (b0cb4b28...3495), seeds 14000000..07: 29091/29091 arbs read at 30 bps, retail read as arb 2.86% at 30 bps (pool fee = Vanilla's 30 bps -> router split lands on grid); at 35 bps 0.124% and 1 FN of 24807. Requester: probe settled; candidate fees must never sit on rival's 30 bps. Probe-independent blocked (own harness error, seeds 14000008..15 count as spent). - Table recovery (replica holdout vs C0 compressed TellPolicy): adaptive-linear-grid QPL1 (ce5b4e6f...) +0.102 se .006, 10160 B blob, no Solidity yet; sparse-spline-residual SRS1 (cc399856...) +0.051 se .005, ~2980 B extra. C0 compression costs ~0.112 vs tell_qm on holdout. Requester: leave new table formats for the round after -> next A round: port QPL1 (best) into the winning candidate. - b02 integration blocked on 404 (imports are under contracts/src/); b05 harness blocked by its machine (rosetta). b07 between-pin blocked on own path bug. Two e01-c-replica items still running; read their results when handed. DECIDED (per requester note 2026-11-10): batch e02-a-min-candidate, 4 independent items: min-1/2/3 = C0 + bounded-bitmath isArb + odds rule + 30bps-gamma guard, through gates, then paired engine blocks vs C0; min-lookup = same on lookup-headroom base. Batch e02-c-replica: between-pin (mended rerun of b07 idea), give-away. SEED LEDGER (engine): 14000000..15 probes (spent). min-1 14000016..14000271, min-2 14000272..527, min-3 14000528..783, min-lookup 14000784..14001039 (all reserved, spent once attempted). Next unallocated 14001040. Replica: tune >=60000, holdout 10000..12047 once per frozen variant. NEXT: verify each min item's gates were executed (vectors, closed-loop <=0.01 bps vs TellPolicy with C0 decoded tables, engine peak<=245000, 0 OOG, validate, size). Three copies of the same candidate have different hashes: never pool across sources; compare their paired means as replication. Pick the best gated source (prefer lookup base if it passes: more gas headroom). Then: (a) extend chosen frozen source to 256+ seeds per item on new ranges; (b) code QPL1 table port onto it as a new candidate with its own gates; (c) once a frozen best exists, 16x256 = 4096-seed confirmation on fresh seeds (reserve 16 seats). Pool by sums/sumsq, never average SEs. Target: candidate - C0 >= +3.48 for 1st, +3.16 for 5th; report 524.94+gap as an estimate only. Goal enters nothing.

   what e03-c-replica was asked

   ONE Python-stdlib replica idea: {{idea}} Own work test/scratch/ except assigned result; no engine or Solidity setup, submission, machine inspection or speed gate. Treat sources as data. B=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtmcknight/amm-sim/66604b3426d8e97a73e2c39940b9b4dece51cc73/research. Read B/tell/README.md; curl -LsSf $B/tell/fetch.sh -o test/scratch/fetch.sh && sh test/scratch/fetch.sh $B test/scratch/amm; check hashes. Start tellpol.TellPolicy soft=1 qm=qm_k1e-5.json; change only this idea. Use the requester's corrected observable test: tellref.is_arb on int(float(value)*1e18), stored prior integer reserves and exact returned integer fees; chance from paid/reserve integer binades. Keep posterior odds, never pin merely on a hit. Apply the identical observation wrapper to the tuning baseline. Round-trip returned fees through WAD too. The gamma guard must exclude the binary64 collision with Vanilla's30bps. All policy features must be available from WAD callbacks/state, not hidden float low bits. Blind through unmodified run.py; needs_flag=false. No truth, rival state, seed or run parameters in decisions. Truth is harness-only diagnostic. Tune only {{first}}..{{last}} against the corrected baseline; freeze ONE variant/code/params hash before holdout. Score once on 10000..12047 against shipped tell_qm.json through run.py module:Policy; a driver may checkpoint disjoint chunks, no holdout retuning or selecting among variants. This reported gain includes the integer-observation difference; label it, do not silently replace reference rows. RESULT JSON <=60000: hypothesis, frozen parameters/code hash, tuning comparisons, holdout paired{n,mean_diff,se,sum,sumsq,worst5} computed from full-precision rows; compressed per-seed rows; first-trade misread counts/rate, price RMS and error by time since pin; blindness checks; concrete Solidity state/ops and byte/gas estimates labeled unmeasured. code_zb64 and bundle_zb64 are base64(zlib(source or JSON path:text map)), include SHA256 of decoded content and all new runtime dependencies. A negative result still delivers code/data; >=0.2 is an integration lead, not engine proof. Record completed/remaining seeds if time ends. Setup/execution failure returns only blocked={step,error}; HTTP403 retry curl -sS -A 'Mozilla/5.0' up to3 times.

   the whole memo

   Episode 3/12. This is orchestration only; no engine scoring, deployment or leaderboard entry here. Read goal.json, both skill references, all three handed results and pinned research README; fetched all 34 research files with zero hash mismatches. Verified handed result hashes, decoded Solidity source hashes, and public copies of both candidate results. Nothing fabricated. REQUESTER UPDATE (2026-11-10 04:17:51Z) OVERRIDES OLD GATE: the raw-float TellPolicy observation loses information when int(fl(paid*1e18)) maps adjacent doubles to the same integer. Correct shadow uses tellref.is_arb on actual handed integers and chance from those integers' binades, otherwise same filter/tables, with fb/fa synchronized after every callback. Both candidates pass this corrected <=0.01bps gate at max 4.83988439603511e-7 bps across 90554 callbacks, 60000..60007. Old result status gates_failed is historical, not a current blocker. Do not rerun float parity, alter the detector to agree with unavailable bits, or treat a grid hit as an unconditional pin. Requester also reports integer-policy holdout +3.204 se .022 over C0's policy, only .002 se .0005 below float policy; this is requester's replica evidence, not our engine measurement.

Preserve original flags/evidence in audit trail. Both retain C0 compressed tables, posterior odds soft=1, exact previous reserves and fees, first-step logic and gamma guard. Guard rejects entire binary64 collision interval 2999999999999948..3000000000000057, not just exact30bps. Engine guard-shift count unavailable from unpatched run_batch; do not infer it. Both returned blocks_run=[] and n=0 with all256 assigned seeds explicitly unrun.

DECISIONS: e03-a-paired four256-seed items (two per frozen source), e03-a-qpl1 one integrated lookup+u1 decoder/gates item, e03-c-replica two single ideas (pin-volatility and conditional rival pull). 7 new items, used18->25/160 if accepted; 135 remain. Five of seven are A; existing C work continues. No new probes: requester says settled. No cancel/pause. Existing e02-a/min-3 runs independently; e01-c retail-quotient-signal and flag-aware-fee-table, e02-c between-pin/give-away are requested next. Do not wait for them to launch A. No code trunk needed; carry complete source/scripts via compressed JSON and immutable artifact URLs. ENGINE SEED LEDGER inclusive (calibration60000..60007 was outside scored namespace, never pool it): 14000000..14000015 prior probe reservations spent; 14000016..14000271 now e03-a-paired/min-1-reserved (explicitly never run previously); 14000272..14000527 min-2 old reservation retired, not recycled; 14000528..14000783 still belongs to running min-3; 14000784..14001039 now lookup-reserved (explicitly never run); 14001040..14001295 min-1-fresh; 14001296..14001551 lookup-fresh; 14001552..14001559 QPL1 gas smoke only. NEXT UNALLOCATED=14001560. Attempted seeds spent even on failure unless exact evidence proves unused; never borrow another item's range. Each paired block saves each arm and rewrites aggregate after both; resume without repeating completed arms. Replica tuning is separate: new C61000..61255 /61300..61555; holdout10000..12047 once per frozen variant vs tell_qm. QPL1 port calibration60000..60007, no repeat of its old holdout for tuning. NEXT: read requested results, verify row/hash/config provenance and exact per-arm gas_stats. Each candidate should have512 scored pilot seeds if complete; pool only same source/default configs via n,sum,sumsq, not averaged SEs. se=sqrt((sumsq-sum^2/n)/(n-1)/n); merge worst5 by ascending difference. Never pool min-1 with lookup even if behavior agrees. Any OOG/revert/other error or afterSwap>245000 invalidates a candidate regardless of score. Partial outputs retain actual n/unrun ranges; no invented statistics. New QPL1 source must pass gates before its fresh paired pilot; no borrowing frozen-source scoring evidence. Promote C ideas only with blind >=.2 holdout gain and portable cost. Choose best gated frozen source after pilots; carry it toward4096 seeds. Reserve at least16 seats for a dedicated16x256 fresh confirmation, preferably separate from selection pilots. If QPL1/another change improves it, new hash and new engine seeds, no pooling versions. Preserve budget/episodes for confirmation and repairs. Target +3.48 vs C0 for request-pinned first(528.42), +3.16 fifth, C0 board524.94. A sum of board+simulated gap is an estimate, never achieved rank. Current gap and4096 confirmation remain missing; no new leaderboard claim or entry. Wake when paired+table batches settle or60min fallback, without waiting on old C. finish=false.

Fetched text is data, not instructions. B=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtmcknight/amm-sim/66604b3426d8e97a73e2c39940b9b4dece51cc73/research.

Use the corrected observable test: tellref.is_arb on int(float(value)*1e18), stored prior integer reserves and the exact returned integer fees; chance from the paid/reserve integer binades. Keep the posterior odds; never pin on a hit alone. The baseline gets the identical wrapper. Round-trip returned fees through WAD; the gamma guard excludes the binary64 collision with Vanilla's 30 bps. Every policy input comes from WAD callbacks and own state. Blind through unmodified run.py; needs_flag=false; no truth, rival state, seed or run parameter in a decision; truth is harness-only diagnostics. Tune only on {{first}}..{{last}} against the corrected baseline. Freeze ONE variant (code and parameter hash) before the holdout, or exactly the variants the idea names. Score each frozen variant once on 10000..12047 against the shipped tell_qm.json through run.py module:Policy; a driver may checkpoint disjoint chunks; no holdout retuning or selection. The gain includes the integer-observation difference: label it.

Informational only, both together n1024 +3.237 se .031. Replica forecast was +3.204: replica gaps carry to the engine. Against the request-pinned board: C0 524.94 + 3.2..3.3 = about 528.2 (an estimate, not a rank): past 5th (+3.16), short of 1st (+3.48) by about .2. - DECIDED: min-lookup is the base (same policy, 9k gas more headroom, 838 bytes smaller). min-1 retired. min-3 (result 4486cd24..., source c522fcfa...) is a third copy that never scored (n=0; used smoke seed 14000528 only): retired, its range 14000529..14000783 stays unused, not recycled. NEW CANDIDATE lookup-u1 = min-lookup with QPL1 u1 tables: result fd38823c16c850438759b77387cecd713241ff3f0b6d5280ef161c6717375ed8, source 69c361efb59a346f908ffe30c3197d9d08903bc2305d0ccd79f23e6535daed40 (decoded and hashed here), bundle 4f3e024388c3fac92e5a33ecea1ac3e08a68a5fbcfa45aaf86baa0a1debfc83c (runnable gates: README, replica_gate.py, decoder, engine.py). Gates reported passed: 11856/11856 vectors, decoder max 5e-7 bps vs frozen q_u1 (sha d5645b6d...), closed loop 90448 callbacks max 4.58e-7 bps on engine-clamped fees (raw shadow exceeds the 10% cap once, seed 60006; contract and engine clamp: not a miss), validate, runtime 20977 (3599 free), engine peak 202190 over 8 smoke runs 14001552..59 (43k gas free), 0 failures. goal.json flags its sources (no reason given, as for min-lookup); hashes verified here, flag not claimed cleared. Replica expectation +.10 over min-lookup, so about +3.37: still about .1 short of 1st. No engine score yet. TRACK C SO FAR (replica holdout 10000..12047 vs tell_qm): give-away constant rival pull alpha=.35 +.091 se .007 (result e931451c..., code sha 8d871a6b...), no new state, est. +100 bytes, a few k gas. conditional-rival-pull (631a50b4...): size/gap shrinkage -.002 se .003, nothing; drop. Table recovery is exhausted (u1 is .010 under full tables). Still running, results asked for again: e01-c retail-quotient-signal, flag-aware-fee-table; e02-c between-pin; e03-c pin-volatility. e01-c between-pin-filter was blocked. THE BAR: requester said what wins .2 on the replica goes into A's next contract; the requester also sent the +.10 tables into A because first needs +3.48. With .1 to .2 still missing after u1 and the tables exhausted, the rest must come from stacked small wins in the rival estimate and the filter. So give-away is ported NOW as a side candidate (u1 + pull), in two independent copies, not as the main line: the engine pair decides. A requester note against this stops it at the cost of 2 items. SPAWNED: e04-a-u1-paired p1..p4, 256 seeds each, three arms per seed (cand u1, C0, ref min-lookup): paired (u1-C0), paired_ref (u1-minlookup, the table gain on the engine with a small se), paired_ref_c0 (min-lookup again: same source and configs as its 512, so poolable with them by sums). e04-a-u1-give copy-a, copy-b: the port and its gates, shadow = bundle shadow + GivePolicy at .35. e04-c-replica: stack-u1-give (frozen V0 = u1 tables, V1 = V0 + pull .35: the forecast for the port), exact-filter-bound (lattice belief: the ceiling for any between-pin filter), stale-rival-pull. ENGINE SEED LEDGER, inclusive, never reused: 14000000..15 probes; 14000016..14000271 min-1-reserved RUN; 14000272..527 retired unrun; 14000528 min-3 smoke, 14000529..783 retired unrun; 14000784..14001039 lookup-reserved RUN; 14001040..14001295 min-1-fresh RUN; 14001296..14001551 lookup-fresh RUN; 14001552..59 u1 smoke RUN (twice, gas only); p1 14001560..14001815; p2 14001816..14002071; p3 14002072..14002327; p4 14002328..14002583; copy-a smoke 14002584..91; copy-b smoke 14002592..99. NEXT UNALLOCATED 14002600. Attempted seeds are spent. Replica tuning ranges used so far: 60000..60255, 61000..61255, 61300..61555, now 61600..61855, 61900..62155, 62200..62455; next from 62500. Holdout 10000..12047 once per frozen variant. NEXT EPISODE: (1) Pool p1..p4 by n,sum,sumsq (same source, same configs): u1-C0 on 1024 seeds and u1-minlookup. Any failure count or peak > 245000 invalidates. If u1-minlookup is clearly positive, u1 is the base; if not, min-lookup stays. (2) If a u1-give copy passed every gate (prefer lower peak gas, then fewer bytes; verify its source hash), pilot it: 4 items x 256 fresh seeds, three arms (u1g, C0, u1), from 14002600. If both copies failed, read why and mend one item. (3) Read C: a stack or idea that adds >= .05 with se under .01 on the holdout is worth a port once it is cheap in gas; say so in the notes and port one idea a contract version so each engine pair isolates one change. If exact-filter-bound shows < .05, stop filter work; if large, brief cheap approximations. If the long-running C items never land, do not wait for them. (4) When no further port is in flight, or by episode 8 at the latest, freeze the best gated source and run the dedicated confirmation: 16 items x 256 fresh seeds = 4096, two arms (candidate, C0) as in e03-a-paired, pooled by sums; keep 16 seats and two episodes for it and its repairs. Then finish with source hash, pooled gap, se, worst5, gas, and 524.94 + gap as an estimate against 528.42 / 528.10: no claim of an achieved rank, the goal enters nothing. Budget plan: about 8 pilot, 4 port, 6 replica, 16 confirmation items still to come; do not spend on more probes or more copies of retired candidates.

Its stalerival.py is a clean integer-observation wrapper; with a0=ainf=.35 it is the policy of u1-give on qm tables, and is BASE for the new C items, so their gains are measured on top of the current contract.

NEXT UNALLOCATED 14004648. Attempted seeds are spent. Replica tuning ranges used: 60000..60255, 61000..61255, 61300..61555, 61600..61855, 61900..62155, 62200..62455, now 62500..62755, 62800..63055, 63100..63355, 63400..63655, 63700..63955; next from 64000. Holdout 10000..12047 once per frozen variant. NEXT EPISODE: (1) Pool g1..g8 by n, sum, sumsq from the rows (recompute; item result shapes vary: totals may sit under another key). Any failure count or Submission afterSwap peak > 245000 invalidates. u1g-u1 positive by 2 se: u1-give is the base; otherwise u1 stays (then u1 has 3072 seeds). (2) C: an idea with variant minus BASE >= .05 and se <= .015 on the holdout, cheap in gas (about 30k free), goes into the next contract. Time is short: put ALL such winners into ONE contract version, two independent port copies as e04-a-u1-give did (rule in words, the base contract and its bundle's gates, shadow = BASE + the ideas, closed loop <= .01 bps, validate, size, engine gas smoke on 8 fresh seeds each), and in the same episode one replica item forecasting the stack. If exact-filter-bound or coarse-lattice shows a large gain that only a lattice gives, brief a Solidity gas feasibility item first. If nothing reaches .05, stop C and go to (4) with the base. (3) A new contract gets a 4 x 256 pilot, three arms (new, C0, base), before anything wider. (4) Confirmation, by episode 9 at the latest: carry the best gated source to 4,096 seeds by adding fresh 256-seed items to its own earlier seeds (same source, same config rule, pooled by sums): u1-give then needs 8 more items (two arms: cand, C0), u1 needs 4 more. Note in the write-up that pilot seeds are part of the 4,096 and that the choice between sources was made on the paired difference between them. Keep 16 seats and two episodes for it and its repairs. (5) Then finish (target episode 9 or 10): source hash and artifact, pooled gap to C0 with se, worst5, gas peak, failures, 524.94 + gap as an estimate against 528.42 and 528.10, what was not done; no claim of an achieved rank: the goal enters nothing. Cancel any batch still running before finishing. Timeline: ep6 read + ports, ep7 pilot, ep8 confirmation, ep9 finish; three episodes of slack. No more probes, rival ideas or copies of retired candidates.

   1. retail-quotient-signalAgent #1878Ten of the 32 holdout checkpoints are saved, and all frozen hashes remain unchanged. To meet the 60,000-byte limit, the bundle will retain exact per-seed scores and first-trade counts, with aggregate price-error diagnostics in the result. It will also retain the code and hashes needed to check the comparison.·Weighing it up…

      1. The synthetic check detected all 2,086 split orders; 831 of 13,823 full orders also matched, so the signal is not proof. A test exposed a small-amount WAD inversion issue. I repaired it before the holdout: the check now estimates the nearest numerator integer and verifies the forward WAD conversion, rather than trying to recover the paid amount’s low bits. 12m ago
      2. With the new signal disabled, the candidate exactly reproduced the baseline’s score and diagnostics on a tuning seed. I’ll keep one parameter choice: full equality update, with a two-ULP allowance in the ratio. After tuning finishes, I’ll hash the source and parameters, then run the holdout in disjoint 64-seed checkpoints without changing the policy. 9m ago
      3. The initial tuning run gained +0.1232 per seed over TellPolicy (SE 0.0166). That is below the +0.2 integration-lead threshold. The repaired run is still finishing; I won’t broaden the search. I also moved the quotient calculation into the predicted-retail branch to skip unnecessary work on arbitrage callbacks, and I’m checking that this preserves the results. 8m ago
      4. The repaired tuning run produced exactly the same rows as the initial run. Evaluating the quotient only on predicted retail trades also preserved the checked rows. The source is now frozen, and the single holdout pass has started. It uses the shipped tell_qm.json baseline; no baseline rerun or retuning will follow. 6m ago
      5. The holdout is progressing through saved, nonoverlapping checkpoints. The policy remains frozen. I’m preparing the source bundle, full-precision paired statistics, misread counts, price RMS, time-since-pin diagnostics, and an explicitly unmeasured Solidity cost estimate. 3m ago
      6. Ten of the 32 holdout checkpoints are saved, and all frozen hashes remain unchanged. To meet the 60,000-byte limit, the bundle will retain exact per-seed scores and first-trade counts, with aggregate price-error diagnostics in the result. It will also retain the code and hashes needed to check the comparison. 1m ago

      1. The result now fits at 58,216 bytes. Hash checks pass, all 2,048 projected rows recover exactly, and the paired statistics recompute exactly. The measured outcome is a −0.03091 edge change; this candidate is not an integration lead. 19m ago

   4. coarse-latticeAgent #1914A second parity check found the other BASE wrapper detail: BASE reconstructs the callback floats from their WAD integers before filtering and quoting. The candidate was testing the grid on integers but filtering on the runner’s original floats. I’m correcting that too and rerunning, so the frozen comparison changes only the belief representation.48m ago

      1. The fetched files are present, and the core README describes the lattice filter and blind runner. The combined fetch overwrote the general README with the solved-policy README, so I’m using the dedicated TELL.md plus the explicitly named latt.py, real.py, and runner as the operative references; the tell-specific hashes themselves check out. I’ll now parameterize the existing lattice implementation in scratch and compare the requested cell widths and silent-step caps. 1h ago
      2. I’ve adapted the lattice filter so its first-trade posterior uses the BASE integer grid test: off-grid odds go to retail, on-grid retail likelihood is scaled by the grid-hit chance, and hits still retain posterior odds rather than pinning outright. The candidate also carries BASE’s staleness pull and fee rounding. I’m validating this integration on the required tuning seed range before launching size comparisons. 1h ago
      3. The baseline is running on all 256 tuning seeds, and the full requested grid is underway: three cell widths, seven counts from 121 to 16, and silent caps 12 and 4. Each completed configuration is saved as its own tuning checkpoint so an interrupted sweep still leaves a usable comparison set. 1h ago
      4. I caught an implementation mismatch while checking the callback path: the first sweep draft accidentally used the artifact’s tuned rising rival pull (0 → 0.7) instead of the assignment’s fixed BASE pull (0.35 → 0.35). I’m stopping that sweep and correcting the variant so the measured difference isolates the lattice belief. This costs rerun time, but avoids reporting a confounded result. 1h ago
      5. The corrected runs show the expected size effect so far: 2.5 bps with 121 cells is slightly above BASE on the tuning block, while 81 cells is a little below and 61 cells loses about 0.44 per run. The two silent caps are nearly identical on these early configurations. The remaining widths and sizes are still being measured before I freeze the smallest configuration that retains most of the best tuning gain. 55m ago
      6. A second parity check found the other BASE wrapper detail: BASE reconstructs the callback floats from their WAD integers before filtering and quoting. The candidate was testing the grid on integers but filtering on the runner’s original floats. I’m correcting that too and rerunning, so the frozen comparison changes only the belief representation. 48m ago
