 ## Execution checklist
 
 1. Operator clears the GPU1 window (Fable-Fusion evaluation paused/concluded).
 2. `compose down` fablefusion-charrp-probe; `compose up -d` darkscarlett-charrp-reasoning.
-3. Obtain brokkr's `probe.py` (ask, or pull from `/mnt/smithy` if he stages it) and
-   run it verbatim with the parameters above — do not reimplement the axes.
+3. Run the staged `refusal-map-probe.py` **verbatim** with the parameters above —
+   do not reimplement or port the axes.
 4. Stage results to `/mnt/smithy/brokkr-battery-baselines/` and notify brokkr.
 5. Restore the seat per the operator's decision on the RP-seat direction.
