The output-side test ran on the live seat. There is no shoulder at 123: the 120-139 bin holds three of ninety-six and is a TROUGH, and 17.7% of generations cross a cap PIPPA can never cross. The clip-as-boundary reading is dead, killed by the test that could have confirmed it. Corrects this document's own earlier read, which compared the tuned MEAN (88.5) to PIPPA's MEDIAN (67) and concluded 'comfortably inside the upper body'. Median to median it is 62 against 67. Mixing statistics across a comparison produced a more reassuring answer than the data supports. What the data shows instead is bimodality -- a mode at 20-39, a trough, a second mode astride PIPPA's centre, a tail to 505, against a base with no such shape. The tune changed rp length's SHAPE rather than its centre: roots whose length distributions do not overlap learned as distinct modes rather than blended into an average. And the skew is rp-ONLY, which localises it to the family the clipped root lives in and is the strongest support the turn-share mechanism gets from the output side. Consequence for pair generation: chosen/rejected sampled from a bimodal generator inherit the mixture, not a mean, and naive sampling over-draws the short mode. Also records that the degeneracy rate is NOT yet a usable baseline -- same arm, same seed, VOID flipped no->YES across a re-run because the 10% budget sits at the noise boundary. A guard whose trip point is at the noise floor produces disagreement between honest observers rather than silence. Replicates running.

Navigation map for the documentation tree. New session? Read
orientation.md first — it's the narrative overview
of the fleet, backup architecture, governing principles, and gotchas,
and it points at everything else.

What goes where
runbooks/— step-by-step ops procedures. Anything you'd reach for during an incident or while standing up new infrastructure. Examples: disaster recovery (blast-radius tiers + restoration steps), PBS deployment (9-phase rollout). New runbook → new file here.pfi/— PFI-specific reference material that's too narrow for the top-level CLAUDE.md but doesn't change incident response. AI model inventory, recommended inference settings, Matrix bridge config, Proxmox VM map. New stable reference → new file here.- Top-level (
docs/orientation.md,docs/README.md) — narrative guides about the workspace itself, not about specific infra.

Conventions
- Markdown, GitHub-flavored. CommonMark renders fine in most viewers.
- File names are lowercase-kebab-case, descriptive. No dates in filenames — git history covers that.
- One topic per file. If a file grows past ~500 lines, look for a natural split before adding more.
- No checked-in binaries or checksums. Build/release artifacts belong
in a build pipeline or
