Vuong Hoang 31e40d8ffa docs(lv-mccarthy): extend the runbook through D5 train and D6 gate
The runbook stopped at D4 pairs, so the two stages that actually produce the
shippable artifact were unrecorded -- the same gap that forced the 2026-09-17
D1->D3 chain to be recovered by rebuilding candidates and matching sha256.

D5 records the 1,380-step run, the loss curve read (median neighbour jitter
0.00393; ckpt900 the minimum, ckpt450 at +4.9x, adapter/ at +18.4x), the fact
that the epoch-3 collapse STEPS rather than drifts, and that adapter/ is the
epoch-3 weights so whatever ships is a checkpoint.

It also records the four provenance fields that look wrong and are not -- all
four reproduce on the yarros and hemingway runs -- and how to bind the run to
its pairs by RECORD COUNT rather than by the relative path it stored.

D6 records the gate invocation, the four deviations from the lv-hemingway gate
and what forced each, and the two instrument questions that had to be settled
before it could run: the punctuation confound on the voice axis (primary /
secondary / pre-registered trigger) and the defective base-unadapted control on
the memorisation axis.

Plus one thing that will otherwise be misread: gen_beats_chat_yarros.py prints
RAN-ON when it finds no paragraph break, a heuristic written for the Yarros
register. McCarthy's register asks for continuous scene prose, so an unbroken
block is the TARGET here and the tag fires on most generations without meaning
damage. The axis-C metric is a different definition and is unaffected.

vh c55966433f fix(lv-mccarthy): the leak gate passed with five protagonist names still in every copy
`leak_gate.py` scans `\b(Surface)\b`. Any character inserted inside a name defeats
that pattern outright, so a mangled occurrence is unrenameable by rename.py AND
unreportable by the gate. lv-mccarthy's 2026-09-17 tree passed at "0 of 75
renameable and 0 of 37 sub-threshold" while carrying 13 occurrences of Bell,
Chigurh, Moss, Toadvine and Glanton in all six copies:

    B ell  C higurh  M oss  T oadvine    a small-caps drop cap kept as its own token
    Toad-vine  Glan-ton                  a print line-break hyphen kept by the extractor

Every visible occurrence HAD been renamed, which is what made the residue invisible
to a spot-read. Fixed at three levels, all three of which must stay:

  build_corpus_mccarthy.py rules 4 and 5 repair the source text — 32 split initials
  with a lowercase remainder, 5 hyphen-split names, each with an expected count so a
  master change fails the build. Rule 4's letter class is consonants only: `I` opens
  1,966 paragraphs, `A` 143 and `Y` 32 (Spanish `y`); folding any would corrupt 2,141
  lines to fix 32.

  leak_gate.py gains a separator-tolerant pass with its own positive and negative
  controls, and it FAILS the gate. Validated against the pre-fix tree: reports all
  five surfaces, exits 1. Its fragment filter is what makes it usable — a naive scan
  returns 18 false positives on Hemingway (`God damn`, `I run`) against 3 real ones;
  requiring one fragment to be a non-word of the corpus cleared all 18 and kept all 3.

  The whole D1→D3 chain is reproduced byte-identically before and after, so the fix
  is the only delta: 6 works, the entity map, the final map and all 36 copy files.

Cross-checked on the shipped corpora: lv-bronte is clean of this class, lv-hemingway
carries 3 (`Primi tivo`, `Pasionar ia`, `Chi cote`) and is live on fv-ml1.

Also in build_sft_pairs.py, both needed before lv-mccarthy's pairs:

  DEFECT 4, hard-wrap reflow. Measured on the SHIPPED lv-bronte adapter, which emits
  mid-sentence line breaks at 12.46 per 1k chars against 0.00 for its own base control
  and 0.00 for every Hemingway arm. McCarthy is the mixed case — The Road is wrapped,
  the other five works are not — so the corpus teaches the break as a coin flip. The
  obvious fix (join every interior newline) corrupts 46 two-speaker exchanges whose
  blank line was lost, and unmarked dialogue is the one thing this adapter exists to
  learn; the rule splits on sentence-final punctuation instead and takes the cheaper
  error. Self-targeting and off by default, so every shipped pair set is unchanged.

  A `mccarthy` register, which names the punctuation deliberately: the eval drives the
  base control arm with this same prompt, so tics left out of it are a surface trick
  only the adapter can perform, and delta_cb is a character-bigram measure.

  drop_leading_heading now also consumes Blood Meridian's dash-separated chapter
  arguments — 131 paragraphs, 0 in every other work of all three corpora.

And a RUNBOOK, because the D1→D3 session recorded nothing and the chain had to be
recovered by rebuilding candidates and matching sha256 against the artifacts on disk.
