Six generations into ckpt300 its outputs are far too SHORT -- 6, 25, 46, 59 words
against a 90-140 ask. At epoch 0.65 the adapter may not have learned the length
target yet.
That exposes a hole in the bar I set an hour ago: ran-on is defined as words > 140,
so a chronically undershooting arm satisfies "ran-on <= 0.100" trivially while
being useless. Same class as the unsatisfiable criterion AMENDMENT 3 exists to
correct, inverted -- too easy rather than impossible.
The bar is NOT being edited again. Three rule-motions in one session is already too
many and a bar patched once per observation is not a bar. Instead the judgment is
stated in the open: a candidate that clears the ran-on term by being short has
cleared it vacuously and will not be shipped, and the full in-band / on-beat /
median / p90 table is reported for every arm so a reader can see which kind of pass
they are looking at.
Gate design for this corpus is evidently not settled. That is an operator call, and
the complete five-arm ladder is being measured so it can be made once rather than
iteratively.
