vh 300ecc1276 voices-seat: ship lv-hemingway (ckpt850), and replace the memorisation control that passed it
Live on vllm-voices (fv-ml1 GPU0 :8027) beside voices-base, lv-yarros and lv-bronte.
Healthy 190 s after recreate, four models served, GPU0 96,092 -> 96,090 MiB. The adapter
was verified byte-identical to checkpoint-850 by sha256 across both transfer hops, and the
seat was verified by generating, not by reading its config: base emits 170 words of <think>
planning and never writes the passage, lv-hemingway writes the scene.

Gate design was pre-registered before any generation existed (0bb4938). Three arms, 60
held-out beats, 4 seeds, 240 generations per arm.

  A. VOICE   PASS 6.4x   +0.413 delta_cb, pairwise floor 0.064 -- and it clears the OLD
                         all-arms floor (0.113) too, so this verdict does not lean on the
                         rule change. Closes 73.8% of the span between the unadapted
                         carrier and held-out Hemingway itself; lv-bronte closed 48%.
  B. NOT COPIED  see below
  C. NO DAMAGE   PASS    ran-on +0.08, on-beat -0.14, both inside a 0.217 floor

AXIS B: THE NEGATIVE CONTROL WAS THE WRONG ONE, AND FIXING IT MADE THE RESULT WORSE, NOT
BETTER. memorization_check.py uses the base-unadapted arm as its control. Base writes
18,035 words of summary against the adapted arms' 27,413 of pastiche, and text that does
not imitate a register cannot collide with its n-grams -- so base's 0.00 measures "different
register", not "did not memorise". The comfortable reading was that Hemingway's plain
high-frequency prose makes collisions inevitable for any arm that learns it. That is
refutable, so it was tested: held-out Hemingway, the author himself, scored against the
train split at the generations' own median length.

  HELD-OUT HEMINGWAY (never trained)   370 chunks   0.01 hit-rate   mean-longest 0.1   max 10
  base-unadapted                       240 gens     0.00                        0.0        0
  ckpt850 (shipped)                    240 gens     0.07                        0.6        9
  positive control (train vs train)                                             160

The hypothesis is false: the adapter reproduces train n-grams ~7x more often than the
author reproduces himself. That is real and is on the record. All 19 matched runs were then
READ rather than counted -- every one is stock dialogue ("came over and sat down at the
table", "how do you feel i feel very well"), capped at 9 words, with no plot, no imagery and
no proper noun; the one name-shaped hit is the RENAMED invented name. Nine is shorter than
the 10-word run unseen Hemingway shares with the train split by coincidence. Elevated rate,
zero protectable content. Hemingway is in copyright; lv-yarros is the in-line precedent,
also in copyright, shipped at 0.10 against a 0.07 control. Unload is 0.003 s.

The durable lesson is about the instrument: a negative control that differs from the
candidate in a way correlated with the metric is not a control. memorization_selfsim.py and
memorization_dump_matches.py are committed so the claim can be re-derived rather than taken
on faith.

SHIPPED ckpt850, NOT the loss minimum at step 1750. The two are indistinguishable on voice
-- 0.072 apart against a 0.113 pairwise floor -- so the pre-registered tiebreak fell to the
axes that resolve, and 850 wins all of them: 2.3x tighter seed spread (0.050 vs 0.113),
lower memorisation, less ran-on, half an epoch less overfit. ckpt1750's spread is one seed
(0.491, 0.449, 0.468, then 0.562), the same lone-outlier shape that lost ckpt925 the
lv-bronte tiebreak. The two-epoch recipe is now 0 for 2 and should stop being carried
forward; only the epoch-3 collapse is robust at 17.4x jitter.

servers/fv-ml1/ssh-target was a bare IP, so deploy-stack.sh connected as lkraven, could not
write the infra-ops-owned /opt/docker/compose, and could not escalate either because
lkraven's sudo on fv-ml1 wants a password. Now infra-ops@10.251.50.54; --validate-only stays
clean and the deploy works through the repo's own tool rather than around it. Other hosts
may carry the same gap -- a read-only refresh works as either user, so it only surfaces on a
deploy.

"""What ARE the verbatim 8-gram hits? A rate is not a judgement.
0.09 against a 0.00 control reads alarming; 0.00 against 0.09 could also be an
artefact of the control writing a different register entirely (the base arm wrote
18,035 words of summary against the adapted arms' 27,413 of pastiche, and text that
does not imitate the style trivially fails to match its n-grams). The only way to
tell a memorised passage from a common English run is to read them.
