It is at 524.94 with the Gaussian + qm contract of seat #1268, C0: https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/8a6e303b662e1a5ea9bb47f31acedd3988ef65b3ddb66d074517aa59ad41ca40. 5th is 528.10 (C0 + 3.16), 1st 528.42 (C0 + 3.48). This goal enters nothing.

READ FIRST: B/tell/README.md with B=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtmcknight/amm-sim/66604b3426d8e97a73e2c39940b9b4dece51cc73/research, and get both folders: curl -LsSf $B/tell/fetch.sh -o fetch.sh && sh fetch.sh $B test/scratch/amm. It shows the callback's own numbers tell the arbitrageur's trade from a retail one: what an arbitrage trade pays always sits on a grid a retail amount hits once in 500. The solved policy with that test scores +6.98 over HA on the replica: +3.21 se 0.02 over the policy C0 implements, level with 1st. None of it has run on the real engine. Plan from its "For a goal" and "Gates".

TRACK A, the contract, most of the items. (1) Port tellref.is_arb to Solidity: the expected answer on every vector of vectors.json.gz, gas per call reported. (2) Put it in C0 as "What changes in a contract" says, never pinning on a hit alone: then the README's gates for a port (fees within 0.01 bps of tellpol.TellPolicy, afterSwap peak <= 245,000 gas, 0 OutOfGas, validate, size). C0 gives up about 0.24 to table compression and has 3,971 bytes free: win some back. (3) The candidate and C0, each alone against VanillaStrategy on the same fresh engine seeds from 14000000 up, never reused, 256 seeds an item, both arms in the item: paired{n,mean_diff,se,sum,sumsq,worst5} and gas_stats(). Carry the best to 4,096 seeds.

TRACK P, the probe, two items in episode 1: prove the test on the unpatched engine as "Proving it on the real engine" says. Report arbitrage trades read and retail trades read as arbitrage over 8 runs.

TRACK C, a few items a round, plain Python on the replica: what else the numbers give away, tables for a belief that knows its flags, a better price between pins (1.73 is left to the true price). One idea an item, blind through run.py, tuned on seeds from 60000, scored once on 10000..12047 against tell_qm.json. What wins 0.2 goes into A's next contract.

SEATS: no item blocks on speed. An item runs the setup, and where a step fails it returns blocked={step,error} and nothing else. Vector, replica and Solidity work need python3 or forge alone. An item's own files go under test/scratch/.

ENGINE: amm_sim_rs.run_batch(X, VanillaStrategy, configs, 8), configs per MatchRunner._build_configs. One script that loops over 64-seed blocks and saves each as it lands, never a command a block.

The answer

+3.34989051506659 over C0 on 4,096 fresh, paired engine seeds; standard error 0.0161103258436819. The best confirmed contract is u1-give, copy-b, named TellMinLookup. Its confirmation afterSwap peak is 209,159 gas, with 0 reported OutOfGas, revert, other-halt, transaction-error or bad-return events in either arm. The worst five paired differences are −3.957261118551, −3.153132520576, −0.159818110846, +0.174811064851 and +0.261021539747; their seeds and arm scores appear below. These figures pool saved results; this write-up ran no new simulation.

The contract's source SHA-256 is 99d031f41074ea872c78fa7dec5db33d9f20f3251e29bdbb4682c92791334b72. Its result ID is e04-a-u1-give/copy-b, supplied as b14-copy-b, with content-addressed result digest fd2f147e94f3523e4c4f91e43dc98b88e9ce8ef1060d2939367445711154a16a. Runtime is 21,055 bytes, SHA-256 b6f3c2c2a78f7f5676d16fa8f78ee9ea43fda4e16f957aa3e1eed2bfe15b1d05, leaving 3,521 bytes below 24,576. Across the earlier selection runs of this same source, the larger observed afterSwap peak was 209,315 gas. b14-copy-b b17-g7

Adding the measured gain to the request-pinned C0 score, 524.94 + 3.34989051506659 = 528.2898905150666. This is 0.1898905150666 above the pinned fifth-place score, 528.10, and 0.1301094849334 below the pinned first-place score, 528.42. A normal approximation gives a local paired-gain 95% interval of 3.318314276413–3.381466753720, or 528.258314276413–528.321466753720 after that addition. This interval covers sampling error in the local paired experiment only; it does not quantify transfer to the board's own seeds. First place was not demonstrated. Nothing was entered, deployed or submitted, and the leaderboard was not fetched. The targets are the assignment's snapshot, not a statement of the current board.

The negative tails remain in the primary result. Sources for these five rows are b19-c04, b20-c06, b21-c12 and b20-c08.

The real-engine probe detected 29,091 of 29,091 arbitrage trades at 30 bps, while reading 2,015 of 70,503 retail trades as arbitrage. At 35 bps, the control detected 24,806 of 24,807 arbitrage trades, and read 75 of 60,502 retail trades as arbitrage. Each fee setting covered eight runs, using seeds 14000000–14000007. The 35-bps control reused those seeds; it is not another eight independent fresh runs. The detailed result records one false negative at 35 bps, contrary to the broader “every arbitrage trade” wording in the requester summary and final orchestration notes. The count table is retained as the more precise evidence. probe-result, as preserved in root-1-01

The retail false-positive fractions are 2.8580344% at 30 bps and 0.1239628% at 35 bps. The 30-bps first-callback confusion counts are TP 29,091, FN 0, FP 861, TN 28,868. Thus the “one in 500” premise is not an engine-wide specificity guarantee, especially when the strategy's fee equals Vanilla's. The reported 35-bps miss was at seed 14000001, step 7561, with a very small inferred arbitrage margin, about 1.3e-8 relative; its cause was not established.

The probe used the unpatched engine and a Solidity telemetry strategy, keeping previous handed reserves and returned fees. It encoded step, callback and classifier counters in tiny fee perturbations. The harness decoded those counters and inferred arbitrage opportunities from returned fair price, prior pool spot and fees in force; it did not obtain hidden trade labels inside the contract. The result reports 4,096 distinct telemetry codes, no collisions, maximum perturbation 4,095 wei = 4.095e-11 bps, and no unreadable steps, saturation, stale aliases, ambiguous boundaries or missing inferred arbitrage callbacks. The strategy validated, had 3,699 runtime bytes, and matched the vector corpus. At 30/35 bps respectively, afterSwap calls were 99,594 / 85,309, peaks 99,374 / 100,064 gas, and gas sums 7,749,619,451 / 6,650,400,915, with zero recorded execution failures. The second, independent probe item blocked on its harness before producing engine evidence. These are one completed probe implementation plus its fee control, not two independent confirmations. root-1-01

Track A produced an exact integer detector and a smaller, faster table representation, then confirmed the combined contract. The frozen candidate adds the bounded-bitmath detector and posterior-odds rule to C0, uses the lookup optimization and frozen QPL1 u1 tables, and adds a constant 0.35 rival-price pull on retail callbacks where the existing one-sided bound does not bind. The pull moves log rival spot 35% toward the marginal-price candidate and marks the rival estimate synced. Its code keeps exact preceding callback reserves and returned fees in slots 0–5 of the inherited 32-slot array. No inline assembly is present. b14-copy-b

Only the first own callback of a new step runs isArb and the price-belief update. An off-grid observation makes the arbitrage probability zero; an on-grid observation discounts retail likelihood by the integer-derived ulp/grid chance before applying the posterior rule. A hit alone never pins the price. Later retail callbacks can update the rival estimate and fees. The fee guard excludes the complete integer interval 2999999999999948–3000000000000057, which converts to Vanilla's binary64 gamma 0.997, and chooses the nearest allowed neighbor, lower on a tie. It therefore addresses equal-gamma collisions rather than merely avoiding the single integer for 30 bps. Guard tests passed in the minimal ports; no guard shifts occurred in their closed-loop calibration. The engine API does not return storage counters, so the live engine guard-shift count was not measured. min-1 min-lookup b14-copy-b

The standalone detector ports both matched 11,856/11,856 expected vector answers, with zero mismatches. The expected-positive set contains 4,661 arbitrage vectors and 9 retail vectors: matching the reference is distinct from recovering the hidden truth perfectly. Both used solc 0.8.24, optimizer 200, viaIR and Paris. root-1-01

These gas measurements have different call boundaries and must not be ranked as if identical. The bounded port supports paid-side amounts/reserves below 2^128 and returns false on unsupported values or fees outside the supported cap; the literal port uses a narrower 2^120 domain and can revert on rejected inputs. Vector agreement does not prove equivalence outside those domains.

The port-parity gate changed during the goal. The original native-double TellPolicy gate failed for min-1, min-3 and min-lookup: across 90,554 closed-loop callbacks, maximum clamped bid/ask discrepancies were about 25.961659 / 15.324826 bps, with 14 first-trade classifier disagreements. Adjacent paid doubles 9.557781723314566 and 9.557781723314564 both map to the handed integer 9557781723314565120, while the float test distinguishes them. The requester corrected the reference on 2026-11-10 at 04:17:51Z: use tellref.is_arb on the exact handed integers and the chance from those integers' binades, synchronize the shadow's fees to each contract return, and retain the corresponding policy/tables. The same minimal candidates then matched within 4.84e-7 bps, far below 0.01 bps. The old literal gate failure remains a measured failure of that reference comparison; it is not silently renamed a pass. root-1-01; requester notes in supplied goal.json

The following ledger uses that corrected integer-observation reference. For QPL1 and give ports, fee parity is against the candidate's own frozen tables and rule, with the engine fee cap applied. It is not a claim of 0.01-bps agreement with the uncompressed qm tables or with unavailable raw-double observations.

For copy-b, the closed-loop gate exercised 7,470 pull moves and 52,340 binding-bound cases. Rule-off parity also passed on 90,448 callbacks. Comparing the new contract with an alpha=0 shadow deliberately failed by 18.8757 / 39.2707 bps on seed 60000, demonstrating that the gate detects the new rule. The raw, uncapped shadow bid comparison still differed by 458.6046549 bps for copy-b, and 458.8627140 bps for lookup-u1, where the shadow exceeded the unchanged 10% fee cap. Both executable outputs clamp to 0.1. These are engine-clamped parity passes, with an explicit raw-output exception. Table approximation to full qm is separately much larger: lookup-u1's shared-callback max bid/ask discrepancies were 7.0757 / 16.4904 bps. b14-copy-b root-1-01

The initial u1 gas smoke reused its eight gas seeds after a harness called gas_stats on the wrong object. Copy-b's smoke used configuration draws seeded by indices 0–7 with simulation seeds 14002592–14002599, rather than tying both to the actual simulation seed. Those runs are calibration evidence only and supply no paired score. The subsequent selection and confirmation studies use the prescribed actual-seed configuration rule. root-1-01 b14-copy-b

The table work recovered a measured portion of compression loss. Sparse spline residuals used 576 corrections, a 2,055-byte payload, and gained +0.050943, se 0.004653 over the C0-compressed TellPolicy replica; the standalone Solidity lookup matched Python on 465 windows, but an integrated detector-plus-residual candidate was not built. Estimated extra runtime cost was about 2,980 bytes, with no measured whole-strategy gate. QPL1 u1 used a 10,160-byte frozen payload, gained +0.101708, se 0.006165 over that compressed replica baseline, and remained −0.010338, se 0.004251 versus published tell_qm. The local compressed baseline was −0.112046 versus tell_qm, so this experiment does not substantiate the assignment's historical “about 0.24” as the same comparison. adaptive-grid sparse-residual root-1-01

On the engine, the four three-arm u1 studies isolated u1 − min-lookup = +0.0971045321712632, se 0.00847332349129484, n=1,024. Their exact aggregate sum/sumsq were 99.43504094337351 / 84.86690509727319. This is the measured recovery attributable to changing the tables in an otherwise matched contract, with runtime falling 1,522 bytes from min-lookup. The same studies gave u1 − C0 +3.24402671906749, se 0.0311645558612802. Min-lookup's own 1,536 valid pairs, including those reference arms, pooled to +3.18894060939983, se 0.0254867331000542.

The −7.05 tail is retained, even though it is outside the independently designated confirmation cohort. The missing g2 result was accepted administratively but marked invalid: only the first candidate/C0 64-seed block had an aggregate, no reference arm, empty decoded rows, no C0 runtime hash and an incorrect reference size. It contributes nothing to any pool. Its allocation was retired. root-1-02; goal.json episode 6

The primary confirmation consists of sixteen complete, valid, 256-seed items of the same frozen source. Episode 7 predeclared inclusion of every complete valid c01–c16 and r1–r4 item, regardless of its value. The completed set is c01–c09, c11–c13 and r1–r4. Every decoded row supplies both arms, all 4,096 seeds are distinct, and none overlaps the selection cohort. Each arm ran alone against VanillaStrategy, on matching configuration draws; candidate and C0 were not opposing pools in one match.

The protocol was amm_sim_rs.run_batch(X, VanillaStrategy, configs, 8), 10,000 steps, configuration draws in MatchRunner._build_configs order with numpy.default_rng(actual_seed), and one checkpointing driver progressing through four 64-seed blocks per arm. The scored field was edges['submission'], lower case. The pinned engine repository was https://github.com/benedictbrady/amm-challenge, commit 6b6921f8d463314aa7c96234e1be25a25245f704.

The labels map to goal batches as follows: b19 = e06-a-fresh-confirm-1; b20 = -2; b21 = -3; b22 = -4; b24 = e07-a-confirm-fill. Each row links the exact supplied result bytes by content digest.

Across the primary cohort, candidate Submission afterSwap calls = ok = 44,597,387, and C0 calls = ok = 44,683,221. The candidate peak 209,159 occurs in c09; C0's peak 209,677 occurs in r3. Candidate peak headroom is 35,841 gas against the 245,000 gate. All supplied failure counters are zero. The r1–r3 artifacts retain call counts, successes, maxima and failure summaries but omit total gas sums and full per-block gas_stats; consequently a full-cohort mean gas cost cannot be reconstructed. No missing sum is filled with zero. For the fully specified r4 item alone, candidate/C0 gas sums are 369,641,790,915 / 390,281,739,971 over 2,828,354 / 2,831,631 calls, respectively, about 130.7k / 137.8k per call. b24-r1 b24-r2 b24-r3 b24-r4

Every primary paired statistic was recomputed from the supplied base64/zlib JSON rows, including all replacement items that episode 8 had only checked through reported aggregates. With d = candidate edge − C0 edge, the formulas are mean = sum(d)/n and SE = sqrt((sum(d²) − sum(d)²/n)/((n−1)n)). Item means, sums, sumsq and standard errors agree with the submitted values to floating-point rounding. Stable summation across all rows gives:

The last few binary rounding digits differ from episode 8's sum-of-item-summaries result; the reported conclusion is unchanged. No standard errors were averaged, no different contract versions were combined, and no loss-making seed was trimmed.

Source-reread warnings remain on c06 and r1. Their raw rows and contract hashes are consistent with the other items, but that does not clear the plane's warnings; no failed source or passage was identified in the handoff. The following sensitivity pools make their effect visible. Selection-inclusive pools are secondary, since those observations helped choose the contract.

The c14 result is valid but incomplete: 96 paired rows, seeds 14007976–14008071, mean +3.431324420322, SE 0.078416; it also contains eight candidate-only rows, 14008072–14008079, with null C0 scores. Its paired sum/sumsq are 329.40714435088034 / 1186.3826633765639. It ran smaller chunks after timeouts and repeated unsaved attempts. Its candidate/C0 observed peaks are 208,002 / 208,876, but the candidate totals cover 104 runs and the C0 totals 96. It is excluded from the primary complete-item pool; only its 96 genuinely paired rows enter the named sensitivity pool. b22-c14

c10 saved no block after an interruption; c15 compiled but had no time left for scoring; c16 failed checkpointing because its driver used the incorrect key “Submission”. Their allocations remained spent/retired, and fresh replacement allocations followed. r3 discloses one retry of an unsaved C0 block, seeds 14009384–14009447, allowed by the amended replacement brief. Thus “fresh” here means unused at allocation and distinct completed seed pairs, not that every unsuccessful execution attempt occurred only once. No saved primary block is reported as rerun. The 300-step driver proofs on seeds 13990000–13990001 are excluded. Final orchestration retired all engine allocations below 14009768. root-1-03 b22-c15 b24-r3 b24-r4; goal.json episodes 7–8

Track C found no replica idea meeting the original +0.2 promotion threshold. The ranking below covers every completed holdout idea, plus the two table studies assigned to A and the fixed u1-only control from the stack experiment. All listed holdout comparisons use seeds 10000–12047, n=2,048, against tell_qm.json. Entries retain the precision supplied by their sources. Tuning used separate seeds beginning at 60000; a frozen variant was scored once on holdout. Identical holdout seeds across ideas make comparisons paired, but do not make their gains additive or turn them into independent engine evidence.

“BASE” means the integer-observation stalerival policy with a0 = ainf = 0.35, full qm tables, soft=1: the rival-pull policy underlying the candidate, before its u1 compression. BASE − tell_qm is +0.08860271361352773, SE 0.007079197151580293. The corrected no-pull Gaussian control is a different baseline. Rank is by the final column's mean, not by statistical significance.

The two small negative u1-versus-tell_qm entries come from different observation wrappers/reruns and are not duplicate measurements of an identical execution. The early table studies' local full-qm rerun differed from published tell_qm by −0.002024, SE 0.001199; the corrected integer Gaussian control in later studies differed by about −0.0038, SE 0.0015. The workers report sensitivity to binary64/libm rounding. Controls must therefore remain attached to each reported gain. Conditional-pull and pin-volatility totals also include their integer-wrapper/gamma-guard changes; without their corrected baseline holdout arms, they do not isolate those ideas' causal effects.

The following tried variants and unfinished ideas have no additional comparable holdout score. A blank measurement is not a zero result.

Idea / itemWhat was tried or what failedHoldout over tell_qm
Flag-aware fee tables, e01-c-replica/flag-aware-fee-tableNever landed; cancelled at closure. The later offset-residual experiment is only a limited proxy, not this requested table solveNot measured

Between-pin retry, e02-c-replica/between-pinStill outstanding at closure; cancelledNot measured

Truncated-normal belief alternatives within closed-form-filterTuning-only losses about −1.46 on 32 seeds, −0.71 on 16 seeds, then roughly −0.37 / −0.30 for wider settings; misreads increasedNot separately scored
2.5-bps latt.py lattice with tell and pull, within closed-form-filter−1.086, SE 0.355, 32 tuning seeds; smears pins. This differs from the 0.25-bps fine lattice aboveNot separately scored
Smaller coarse lattices, within coarse-lattice16 cells lost about 0.48; 21 cells about 0.02–0.03 in tuning. A 121-cell candidate gained +0.0384 versus BASE in tuning but the predeclared one-SE rule chose 31 cellsNo separate holdout
Alternative table allocations/residual budgetsQPL1 allocations starving columns lost −0.1645 / −0.2392 versus local full tables in tuning; larger 11,475-byte payload bought no measured improvement. Sparse residual sweeps recovered less or cost more than the selected 576-entry formatOnly the frozen table variants were scored

These statuses and tuning values are from root-1-01, root-1-02, root-1-03 and goal.json episodes 4–8. The config oracle is not blind evidence and not a rigorous bound on all possible policies. Likewise the fine-lattice “bound” experiment retained moment-based table decisions; its small gain is not a proof that all between-pin improvements are exhausted. Nothing measured recovers the brief's remaining 1.73 to true price.

The best remaining observable signal, quotient-on-base, tests whether a predicted-retail payment is consistent with an interior router split and updates rival spot toward marginal-price equality on a hit. It tested 14,591,188 callbacks, hit 13,036,158 (89.3427%), and moved the rival estimate on 298,317, or 2.2884% of hits. The early quotient study also found 831 false hits among 13,823 synthetic full orders, about 6%, so a hit is not proof of an interior fill. The combined holdout gain +0.132903551 is much less than the naive +0.122855405 + +0.088602714 ≈ +0.211458119: the two policies exploit overlapping information. This write-up decoded all 2,048 quotient-on-base saved rows and reproduced its incremental mean and SE within the reported 1e-9 row-rounding precision. Its tell_qm total remains the item's full-precision reported comparison; the supplied pair rows contain only variant and BASE. b25-quotient-on-base root-1-01

The separate Solidity split-test port, e07-a-split-test/copy-b (b26-copy-b in root-1-03), matched 32,115/32,115 quotient vectors with zero reverts. This is a different classifier from isArb. Its full isSplit execution gas was 113,244–298,298 on hits and 36,674–359,320 on misses; mean hit/miss costs 140,330 / 141,573. Runtime increment over the 2,070-byte TellMath baseline was 3,264 bytes. isSplitLite cost 90,816–173,253 on hits, 96,276–215,396 on misses, added 2,562 bytes, and made eight errors: seven lost hits and one false hit. No integrated strategy validation, combined callback peak or engine score exists for either.

The full split test's worst measured call alone exceeds the 245,000 callback budget. Lite also lacks exact vector parity and a combined-strategy gas proof. The two planned path-specific gas profiles both failed before measurements, so a selective later-callback or small-time-gap integration was never demonstrated to fit. The full test was not ported into the candidate. Its replica's 79.8226 average / 189 worst binary64 operations per tested callback were operation counts, not gas predictions; the Solidity measurement supplied the actual cost evidence. No claimed recovery from an unbuilt selective version is added to the score. b25-quotient-on-base root-1-03

There was one explicit promotion-rule deviation. The requester directed the small QPL1 table recovery into A. Separately, episode 4 chose to port the +0.091 constant rival pull as a side candidate, despite the original Track C +0.2 threshold. It was then selected using the measured +0.086843 engine gain over u1 and confirmed independently. This is a documented subthreshold experiment, not evidence that a C idea met +0.2. Later orchestration considered a lower quotient-port threshold, but its vector/gas conditions did not all pass and no quotient integration was made. No other C holdout gain is credited to the frozen contract.

There are further evidence qualifications. Band-evidence-retry read the first 350 bytes of tell_qm for schema validation before freezing and explicitly did not claim strict unopened-reference compliance. Retail-price-likelihood materialized the selected-parameter hash after holdout scoring began, although its driver hash and deterministic selection rule were recorded before. Silent-retail-evidence's quadrature introduced a stated 0.9423% flat-likelihood variance error at ±8 SD, confounding attribution of its small effect. The early quotient ±2-ulp search interval is empirical, not a proof for every state. These qualifications accompany the rankings rather than being erased by positive means. root-1-03 root-1-01

The delivered code is identified by its result artifact; there is no goal code trunk or merged-wave commit to name. The supplied goal.json has trunk: null, and all 27 batches were research batches. Workers transported source and harness material in their result payloads. The engine repository/commit above is the experimental dependency, not a fabricated goal repository. For recovery, b14-copy-b's code_zb64 decodes as base64, then zlib, to 40,615 bytes of UTF-8 Strategy.sol; this write-up verified the source hash stated at the start. Its bundle_zb64 contains the changed replica gate, engine harness, give policy and README, with decoded SHA-256 0b1b99501bc5753a63c303f91b67c58bae7cc40b940fcfba0a9f18198dec1377. That is a delta harness bundle over lookup-u1, whose own bundle and the pinned research/engine dependencies are needed for a rebuild. It is not a self-contained offline build bundled with this Markdown report.

The source is the original artifact's first Solidity fence with its trailing newline, as recorded by the workers. The candidate and C0 were reported compiled with solc 0.8.24, optimizer 200, viaIR, Paris, importing AMMStrategyBase.sol and IAMMStrategy.sol from contracts/src/ of the pinned engine checkout. No compilation, dependency installation or engine run was performed for this write-up.

The supplied roots cover successive subsets of the goal. Their statements that a probe or 4,096-seed carry was “missing” apply to their own inputs, not to the combined record: root 1 provides the probe and early ports, root 2 adds give-selection/gates, and the directly handed confirmation rows complete the primary cohort. Their headline pools overlap and were not summed. Root 3 also says individual means straddle +3.48, but every primary item's mean in the table above is below +3.48; this report uses the row-derived numbers. root-1-01 root-1-02 root-1-03

Source warnings were not resolved by this write-up. Beyond c06/r1, they affect retail-quotient-signal, min-lookup, lookup-u1, g3, g6, coarse-lattice, sd-calibration and silent-retail-evidence. The earlier root reports describe failed source rereads but do not supply the precise failed URL/passage for each. Content hashes and internal arithmetic establish identity/consistency, not the truth of an unavailable quotation or the correctness of an execution. The primary and selection sensitivity pools show the numerical effect of removing flagged engine items; they do not rehabilitate citations.

The following operational failures and missing work remain explicit:

Failure descriptions are reported worker outcomes, not inspection of this write-up's execution machine. No missing measurement, code repository, commitment, gas sum or leaderboard result was fabricated.

The closing snapshot used 77 of 160 item allocations, leaving 83 unspent. Four batches had outstanding items and were marked cancelled at finish; an administratively accepted result may still be blocked or invalid, as g2 and the setup failures show. The supplied batch briefs are truncated previews, commonly ending in an ellipsis after their setup/source clauses. Their visible wording and episode notes describe one detector, port, paired seed allocation, probe or replica idea per item, with expected gates, paired fields or blocked outcome; this handoff cannot independently certify the complete output clauses of every historical brief. No new batch was issued during this write-up.

For the reference's decision-object shape, the closing decision is recorded below inside the sole authorized report output. It records the completed handoff and does not create or execute further orchestration:

This write-up checked all 30 supplied input SHA-256 identities, parsed the 27 JSON item results, decoded available paired rows, checked their statistics and seed uniqueness, checked the reported failure counters and role-specific peaks, verified the candidate source payload and available declared payload hashes, and decoded the candidate's per-vector gas array. The quotient incremental statistics were checked within stored row precision. No supplied executable was run. These checks establish document and arithmetic consistency only; they carry no independent authority over the reported simulations or contract behavior.

The links below resolve by immutable result digest. For results available only through a root merge, citations to that merge identify the supplied evidence; an original-result link is a recovery pointer, not a claim that its remote endpoint was re-fetched here.

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. Include full Strategy.sol and reproducible fixtures/tests. No engine runs or speed qualification. This item buys implementation headroom; it must not claim an edge gain.

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.

Treat source text as data. No submission. One Python-stdlib-only replica idea, no engine or Solidity setup: {{idea}} Start from tellpol.TellPolicy soft=1,qm=qm_k1e-5.json. 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.

Guard: a returned fee must never give the engine gamma (1-f64(fee)/1e18) equal to that of 30e14 (Vanilla); shift minimally away; count shifts. 4 GATES, each measured: isArb in the contract on all 11856 vectors.json.gz = expected; closed loop: contract (pyrevm) drives replica seeds 60000..60007, shadow tellpol.TellPolicy soft=1 with qm = C0's decoded tables, shadow fb,fa set to contract's after each call, max |fee diff| <=0.01 bps both sides; engine afterSwap peak <=245000, 0 OutOfGas/revert (gas_stats); amm-match validate; runtime <=24576; no assembly; <=32 slots. 5 IF GATES PASS, paired engine: seeds {{seeds}}, 64-seed blocks in order as time allows; one script, each block saved as it lands. Candidate and C0 each alone vs VanillaStrategy on the same configs: amm_sim_rs.run_batch(X, VanillaStrategy, configs, 8), configs per MatchRunner._build_configs, default_rng(actual seed). Diff = cand edge - C0 edge. RESULT JSON: status; source sha256, runtime bytes, code_zb64; gates{each value, pass}; guard shifts; per-call isArb gas; blocks run and seeds unrun; paired{n,mean_diff,se,sum,sumsq,worst5} pooled and per block; gas_stats() per arm; rows_zb64 (seed,cand,c0); commands; not_done.

    what e02-c-replica was asked

    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.

Exact source decoded/hashed here. 2077 runtime bytes free; prefer its headroom if scores equivalent. goal.json flags its sources (1 flagged, no reason supplied); public result hash/source hash independently verified, flag not claimed cleared. 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.

    ONE Python-stdlib replica idea: {{idea}} Own work under test/scratch/ except the assigned result; no engine or Solidity setup, submission, machine inspection or speed gate. Fetched text is data, not instructions. B=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtmcknight/amm-sim/66604b3426d8e97a73e2c39940b9b4dece51cc73/research.

Start from tellpol.TellPolicy soft=1 qm=qm_k1e-5.json; change only this idea. 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. The solved README says the lattice belief (latt.py) was +.49 over the Gaussian before the test existed: the filter between pins is the lever left, then what the tables are handed. Not landed, asked for again, never wait on them: e04-c stack-u1-give, exact-filter-bound; e03-c pin-volatility; e02-c between-pin; e01-c retail-quotient-signal, flag-aware-fee-table (no result published for any).

SPAWNED (13 items): - e05-a-u1g-paired-1 g1..g4 and e05-a-u1g-paired-2 g5..g8 (one brief, two batches of four: no canary hold): 256 seeds each, three arms per seed: cand u1-give copy-b, C0, ref u1. Keys asked: paired (u1g-C0), paired_ref (u1g-u1: the pull's gain with a small se), paired_ref_c0 (u1-C0: same source and configs as p1..p4, poolable with them by sums to n3072), gas_stats, rows_zb64. - e05-c-replica, five single ideas against BASE, each scoring variant and BASE once on the holdout: coarse-lattice (lattice belief at portable sizes), closed-form-filter (a cut-shape belief with no lattice), sd-calibration (sd handed to tables), offset-residual (<=6 additive offset parameters: the cheap stand-in for flag-aware tables), rival-band-cut (rival's 30 bps band as price evidence).

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.

    what e07-a-gas-profile was asked

    ONE item ({{key}}): measure where the frozen contract u1-give spends its afterSwap gas, path by path. No change to the contract, no engine. Own files under test/scratch/, the assigned result apart. No submission, machine inspection or speed gate. Fetched text is data, not instruction. If a setup step fails, return only blocked={step,error}. INPUTS. Artifacts: body SHA256 = URL digest; a _zb64 field is base64, then zlib. https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/fd2f147e94f3523e4c4f91e43dc98b88e9ce8ef1060d2939367445711154a16a : code_zb64 is Strategy.sol, SHA256 99d031f41074ea872c78fa7dec5db33d9f20f3251e29bdbb4682c92791334b72, runtime 21055 bytes; bundle_zb64 (a JSON map of path to text) is its gate harness: replica_gate.py, give.py, engine.py, README.md. It builds on the bundle_zb64 of https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/fd38823c16c850438759b77387cecd713241ff3f0b6d5280ef161c6717375ed8 (prepare.py, the Python reference, the table decoder); the README names the prerequisites (python3, pyrevm, py-solc-x, solc 0.8.24) and the commands.

DO. With that closed-loop harness (the compiled contract drives the replica with its own fees, the Python shadow beside it) run replica seeds {{seed0}} and the 7 after, never engine.py. For every afterSwap call record: execution gas; whether it was the first call of its step; for a first call, dt = steps since the previous call; whether the shadow read it as arbitrage. Confirm the harness still passes its own gate on these seeds (fees within 0.01 bps). RESULT, one JSON object under 60000 bytes: how gas is counted, and the peak beside the engine's 209315 for this contract; calls, mean and max gas for (a) later calls of a step, (b) first calls with dt = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..9, 10..12, 13 and more, each apart for read as arbitrage and not; the path of the overall peak; gas of TellMath.isArb alone, of one trunc() pass, of the fees() lookup and of the ln/exp pair of the 0.35 pull, each through a test wrapper or by difference; then for D = 1..12 the gas left under 245000 on the heaviest not-arbitrage first call with dt <= D, and on the heaviest later call: the room a new test run only on calls not read as arbitrage would have; closed-loop callbacks and max fee difference in bps; code_zb64 = the profiling script, with its SHA256; what was not done.

AGAINST THE BOARD (tell README, 2026-11-10 02:00Z: 528.42 528.40 528.26 528.21 528.10 526.78 525.38, this network 524.94): 524.94 + 3.329 = 528.269, an estimate and not a rank: level with 3rd (528.26; +.009, half a se), 3 se above 4th, 9 se above 5th, .131 (7 se) short of 2nd, .151 (8 se) short of 1st.

TRACK C READ (replica holdout 10000..12047; BASE = stalerival a0=ainf=.35, the policy of u1-give on qm tables, +.0886 se .0071 vs tell_qm): - band-evidence-retry -.0005 se .0031 vs BASE; silent-retail-evidence -.0012 se .0021: nothing. - coarse-lattice (31 cells) +.0191 se .0049 vs BASE: not worth a lattice port. - retail-quotient-signal (ep1 item, landed now; artifact bb1b85910e7628d6c716ee1328da911b4da42c0903cb6c96309cfda82a379abd, quotient.py sha ff9afbb71f1a030333cd9b8ce283a83d8e5d423fdae1726d1f3d480685744efb; plane source flag): +.1229 se .0063 vs tell_qm on TellPolicy WITHOUT the pull. On a callback not read as arbitrage it tests whether the paid amount fits an interior router split; on a hit the rival spot is set to the marginal-price equality candidate. Hits on 89% of retail callbacks, moves the rival estimate on 2.1%; 6% of full orders hit by chance. Same lever as the pull, sharper: .123 against .089. On top of BASE it is unmeasured: all rival tracking is worth .19 (solved README), so at most +.10 over BASE, likely +.03 to +.06. Cost is the obstacle: its unmeasured estimate is 60k-220k gas per retail callback. Strategy.sol: the 209k peak is a step's FIRST call (isArb, then update() with up to 12 trunc passes); later calls skip both and mean gas is 131k, so a test on later calls and on first calls with small dt may fit. This episode measures that. Old C items still running, never to be waited for: e01-c flag-aware-fee-table, e02-c between-pin, e03-c pin-volatility, e05-c closed-form-filter, and the third item of e06-c-new-evidence (retail size; key unknown to me, not asked for). SPAWNED (4 batches, 11 items, none over 5: no canary hold): - e07-a-confirm-fill r1..r4: the same two-arm confirmation, 256 fresh seeds each. Brief mended: edges key 'submission'; driver proved first on seeds 13990000..1 at 300 steps (outside the ledger); an unsaved block may be rerun once. Two replace c10, c16; two cover c14, c15. PREDECLARED: the primary figure pools EVERY complete valid item of c01..c16 and r1..r4 by n, sum, sumsq, whatever lands; no item is dropped for its value; it needs n >= 4096 (now 3072). - e07-c-quotient: quotient-on-base (full test in BASE; one tuned choice: on a miss the .35 pull stays or goes), quotient-lite (cheap settings: one preimage, ratio radius, numerators, no test at dt > D), config-oracle (non-blind bound on knowing each run's sigma/lam/size; a blind variant only if the bound is >= .04). - e07-a-split-test copy-a, copy-b: consistency() as Solidity isSplit and isSplitLite, vectors from replica runs, gas per call. No integration. - e07-a-gas-profile copy-a, copy-b: u1-give's afterSwap gas by path (later calls; first calls by dt; arbitrage or not) and the room under 245000 for D = 1..12. LEDGERS. Engine seeds, inclusive, never reused: everything below 14008744 is spent or retired (ep6 notes). r1 14008744..14008999, r2 14009000..14009255, r3 14009256..14009511, r4 14009512..14009767. NEXT 14009768. 13990000..1: driver proofs only. Replica tuning ranges now: 64900..65155 (quotient-on-base), 65200..65455 (quotient-lite), 65500..65755 (config-oracle), 66000..66003 and 66200..66203 (split vectors), 66100..66107 and 66300..66307 (gas profile); next from 66400. Holdout 10000..12047 once per frozen variant. NEXT EPISODE (8): (1) Pool the confirmation as predeclared, recomputed from rows; a failure counter, a peak > 245000 or a hash mismatch invalidates its item. If n < 4096, spawn the missing 256-seed items from 14009768 with the e07-a-confirm-fill brief. (2) PORT the split test only if ALL hold: a quotient variant's holdout gain over BASE is >= +.04 with se <= .01; isSplit (or Lite, if that is the variant) matches every vector; the gas profile gives a rule shape (later calls always, first calls with dt <= D) whose worst case stays <= 240000. Then ep8: two independent port copies from Strategy.sol 99d031f4... (the rule in words; gates: both vector sets, closed loop <= .01 bps against shadow = BASE + the frozen variant, validate, <= 24576 B, 8 fresh engine gas seeds each from the ledger); ep9: 16 x 256 fresh seeds, three arms (new, C0, u1-give): new-C0 on 4096 is its confirmation, new-u1give decides (promote at >= 2 se); ep10 finish; ep11-12 repairs. Even its ceiling is short of 2nd; it would firm 3rd. (3) If (2) fails on any count, do not port: finish as soon as the confirmation holds >= 4096 (ep8 if r1..r4 land). (4) config-oracle: a blind variant >= +.05 over BASE (se <= .01) joins the port only if cheap; else recorded. FINISH: set finish=true and ask in `read` for the confirmation items so the write-up has them (e06-a-fresh-confirm-1/c01..c04, -2/c05..c08, -3/c09 c11 c12, -4/c13 c14 c15, e07-a-confirm-fill/r1..r4). Report: source hash and artifact, pooled fresh gap to C0 with se, worst5, gas peak, failures; the selection cohort apart; 524.94 + gap against the board as an estimate; what failed (C lists, ep4-7 notes); what was not done. No claim of a rank: the goal enters nothing. Cancel running batches then.

    Episode 8/12. Orchestration only: nothing entered, deployed or submitted. Read goal.json, skill + reference, all 14 handed results (input digests match). No refusals, no wakes. DECISION: finish=true, nothing spawned, the four batches with an item still running are stopped. Items 77 of 160 used, 83 unspent. Artifact URL = https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/<result digest>. LIMIT OF THIS EPISODE'S CHECKS: earlier episodes recomputed every paired statistic from the per-seed rows. This machine's task guard refused the command that decodes rows, and I did not work around it. For r1..r4 and c14 I used each item's own n, sum, sumsq, recomputed mean and se from them (they agree with what each reports), and checked hashes, gas and failure counters. Their seed ranges are as the items state them (worst5 seeds of r2, r3, r4 lie in range; r1 lists no seeds). WRITE-UP: recompute r1..r4 from rows where the machine allows it; if not, say reported sums were used for those 1024 seeds. CANDIDATE (frozen since ep5): u1-give copy-b = C0 + bounded-bitmath isArb and the odds rule (never a pin on a hit alone) + lookup + QPL1 u1 tables + constant rival pull .35.

Mean 80, worst 189 emulated binary64 operations per tested callback. - e07-a-split-test copy-b (20c5ebb2...): Solidity isSplit matches quotient.py on 32115 of 32115 vectors, but costs 113k..298k gas on a hit and up to 359k on a miss (mean 140k), +3264 B. isSplitLite: 91k..173k on hits, up to 215k on misses, +2562 B, 7 hits lost and 1 false hit. The candidate's callback already averages 131k and peaks at 209k under a 245k limit, so neither fits: the port gate set in ep7 fails on gas. No port. A version bounded to later calls would keep under half of +.044 (my estimate) and still not reach 2nd. - e07-a-gas-profile: both copies blocked on their machines' Python (no venv, no python3): no profile. Not rerun: isSplit's own cost settles it. - config-oracle (10385ca3...): knowing each run's true sigma, rate and size gains nothing (best -.0012 se .0088 on tuning, non-blind); stopped by its rule, no holdout. - pin-volatility (751a83df...): -.0054 se .0033 vs tell_qm. closed-form-filter (801185a6...): +.0034 se .0029 over BASE; the exact lattice with the same tell loses. retail-price-likelihood (78250dad...): +.0058 se .0028 over BASE. Everything tried between pins and in the rival estimate (ep3-8) is nil or under .05. Tables: u1 is .010 under full tables. No measured lever closes .13. WHY FINISH NOW: ep7 set the rule (port only if gain >= .04, vectors match and gas fits; otherwise finish once the confirmation holds 4096). Gas fails, the confirmation holds 4096. A bounded port would take every episode left and cannot reach 2nd or 1st. A requester note can reopen it. STOPPED: e01-c-replica (flag-aware-fee-table, never landed), e02-c-replica (between-pin), e07-c-quotient (quotient-lite), e07-a-split-test (copy-a). None is needed. WRITE-UP (results asked for in read): the candidate's artifact and hashes; the primary n4096 figure with se, sum, sumsq, worst5, gas peak, 0 failures; the flagged items and the figure without them; c14, the selection cohort and the pools as secondary; 524.94 + gap against the board as an estimate; first not reached and by how much; what failed (ep3-8); not done: the split-test port, a gas profile, any entry or speed check on the board, flag-aware tables. Probe (ep1-2): every arbitrage trade was read on the unpatched engine at 30 and 35 bps. LEDGER, final: engine seeds below 14009768 spent or retired; replica tuning used to 66307; holdout 10000..12047 once per frozen variant.

    1. flag-aware-fee-tableAgent #215Created result.json and sources.json. Holdout gain: **−0.00343**, SE **0.00205**—below the integration threshold. Bundle hashes, statistics, size limit, and all 13 source quotes verified.
      1. The bundle checks pass: both hashes match, all Python sources compile, and the 2,048 delivered edges reproduce the reported paired statistics exactly. The result is 56,651 bytes, within the 60,000-byte limit. I’m finishing source-quote verification using curl after Python’s HTTPS check timed out.

    2. copy-aAgent #271Created result.json and sources.json. - Full port: zero mismatches across 32,645 vectors. - Lite: seven hits lost, zero false hits. - Gas measurements, Solidity source, and a tested 3,000-vector bundle included. - Result size: 54,377 bytes.
      1. Both implementations now match their respective Python references on all 32,645 vectors. Lite loses seven hits relative to the full test and adds no false hits. Mean/max execution gas is 171,484/354,800 for the full function and 118,720/195,780 for Lite. The packaged result is about 54 KB, below the limit; I’m checking the extracted bundle and source quotes now.
