Six beats through voices-base, lv-bronte, lv-yarros and lv-hemingway, all served from the
same process on fv-ml1 :8027 so only the adapter varies. Operator-requested side-by-side.

THE PROMPT NAMES NO AUTHOR, deliberately. Each adapter trained under a prompt naming its
own, so driving all four with any one of those hands that arm a hint the others do not get
and the page would be measuring the prompt rather than the voice. The shared task skeleton
is kept and the author clause removed. One asymmetry is disclosed on the page: Brontë and
Hemingway trained on "a SHORT PASSAGE ... may run to several paragraphs" while Yarros
trained on "ONE paragraph", so the neutral prompt sits slightly off-distribution for all
three rather than for one.
THE CONTROL GETS A 4x LARGER TOKEN BUDGET, and publishing it any other way would have been
dishonest. Measured at the gate's 320-token budget:
voices-base median 26 prose words, 181-257 words of <think> planning first,
and 5 of 12 cells never reach the prose at all
the adapters 0 of 12 failures each, empty think block in 12 of 12, median 97-105 words
The adapters learned to skip the reasoning phase; the carrier has not. Showing the starved
control would conflate voice with budget discipline, so the control runs at 1200 tokens and
finishes every time, median 121 words. Both numbers are on the page.
Two seeds per cell behind a toggle, because one sample of a sampled process is an anecdote,
and a blind-mode toggle that hides which column is which. Sampler matches the gate harness
(temperature 0.9, top_p 0.95, "BEAT: " prefix).
Checked before publishing rather than after: all 36 adapter generations scored for verbatim
8-gram reuse, each arm against ITS OWN corpus. Brontë 0, Yarros 0, Hemingway 2 of 12 with a
longest run of 8 words, that run being "i don t know i don t know".
Layout verified by rendering it, not by reading the CSS: four equal 374px columns at 1600px
wide, no horizontal overflow, 24 cards, 48 panes. ⚠ nh3-dev's shared /opt/ms-playwright
tops out at chromium-1234, so playwright must be pinned to 1.61.0; a bare `npm i playwright`
pulls 1.63 and asks for a browser build that is not there.
