BabyYarros: stage the 4B-Base comparison arm, both concurrent and chained

One arm is not a comparison. On the Brontë corpus Base won held-out loss (2.814
against the instruct arm's 2.908) while instruct won instruction-following, and
that trade is the open question for Skaldsong. It has to be re-measured on this
corpus rather than carried over: BabyYarros is 12% larger and contemporary.

Two entry points because the right one depends on a measurement rather than an
argument. The box has 98 GiB free against an 18.4 GiB training footprint, so VRAM
is not the constraint -- but VRAM was never the binding constraint on a GB10 that
onboarding measured at 6x slower than ana-ml2 where compute predicts 2.7x, and
where batching was not a throughput lever. If the box is already at its bandwidth
roofline, a second job splits the same bandwidth and buys nothing.

So: launch-yarros-4b-base.sh takes an explicit --allow-shared-gpu that bypasses
the GPU-clear guard, and chain-yarros-4b-base.sh waits on the instruct run and
refuses if it produced no adapter. The bypass is an argument and never a default,
because the guard's normal job -- stopping a chain from firing into a live run --
is what keeps one lost run from becoming two. A shared-GPU launch stamps its own
log with a warning that its s/it is not comparable to a solo run, since the
harness is part of the number.

Both carry the same gate guard as the instruct arm: refuse to start unless the
leak gate report on disk says PASSED.

# BabyYarros — Qwen3-4B-BASE, 1 epoch, seed 4919. The comparison partner to the
# instruct arm: same corpus, same seed, same everything, CARRIER is the only variable.
#
# Why it exists: one arm is not a comparison. On the Brontë corpus Base won held-out
# loss (2.814 vs the instruct arm's 2.908) while instruct won instruction-following
# (on-beat 10/10 through the chat template, task-leak 0/18). That trade is the whole
# open question for Skaldsong, and it has to be re-measured per corpus rather than
# carried over -- the Yarros corpus is 12% larger and contemporary rather than 1840s.
#
# ⚠ Expect the loss minimum EARLY. The Brontë 4B-Base rung overfit inside one epoch
# and turned at step 75 of 159; its shipped adapter/ was NOT the best weights. Hence
# eval + save every 25 so the minimum is LOCATED, and arms get cut from the checkpoint.
#
# --allow-shared-gpu DELIBERATELY bypasses the GPU-clear guard, for the measured case
# where a second run fits and the operator has asked for concurrency. It is an explicit
# argument and not a default, because the guard's normal job -- stopping a chain from
# firing into a live run -- is the thing that keeps one lost run from becoming two.

# BabyYarros — Qwen3-4B INSTRUCT, 1 epoch, seed 4919, on the gated renamed corpus.
#
# Carrier is the instruct model on the operator's direction ("train the instruct on
# the yarros corpus -- babyyarros") and because the R49 instruct probe answered the
# question it was run to answer: voice and instruction-following COEXIST. On the
# Brontë corpus the instruct arm held curly quotes 16/18 -- identical to 4B-Base --
# took zero task-leak in 18 samples, and stayed on-beat 10/10 through the chat
# template, at a held-out 2.908 against Base's 2.814. The cost was length
# discipline (in-band 10/10 -> 6/10), not voice.
#
# ⚠ This still trains RAW CONTINUATION text into a model whose weights expect
# <|im_start|> framing. That is the known risk and it is the same one the Brontë
# probe measured; the product path (instruction-pair corpus, Skaldsong Option C)
# is separate and larger work.
#
# Everything else is held from the Brontë instruct arm so the CORPUS is the only
# variable: seed 4919, rank 32, lr 1e-4, seq 4096, batch 1 x accum 8, 1 epoch,
# eval + save every 25 so the loss minimum is LOCATED rather than assumed -- the
# 4B rung overfit inside one epoch and turned at step 75 of 159, and its shipped
# adapter/ was NOT the best weights.
#
# CORPUS PROVENANCE: 6 copies of 208 chapters, all five works, renamed under ONE
# corpus-wide map per copy. Leak gate PASSED -- 0 of 325 source entities and 0 of
# 91 audited phrases survive in any of the 30 copy files, both controls passing,
# sensitivity floor 3 occurrences for a name and 5 for a phrase.
