vh 8fff722f2c feat(r49): incumbent arm generated against the concrete gen seat, not the stale H02 name
brokkr-smithy corrected H02's incumbent naming: qwen3.6-35-a3b-heretic was retired
from the gateway roster on 2026-08-15 and is not what Skaldsong would call today.
Verified against the gateway and the seat itself -- alias `gen` resolves to
hosted_vllm/qwen3.8-27b-uncensored on ana-ml2:8015, container vllm-gen, 262,144
ctx. The arm targets that.

24 records, style-prompted on the same prompts and sampler as the other arms.
Alias resolved at run start AND end and confirmed stable across the run, per the
fleet rule that an artefact records the backing model rather than the alias.

Two things recorded rather than glossed:

The harness is NOT matched to the other arms and the artefact says so. Base and
adapted arms are local transformers on gx10; the incumbent is a served NVFP4 27B
reached over the gateway, and it is an instruct model receiving a style
instruction where the others are base models receiving none. That asymmetry is the
comparison H02 asks for -- prompted imitation against trained voice -- but it must
not be reported as if the harnesses were identical.

The gateway echoes the ALIAS in each response's `model` field, so a row read on
its own would have recorded "gen" as provenance -- the same class of mistake that
inflated an exposure count 4.7x on this fleet. Rows now carry
alias_echoed_by_gateway beside backing_model_resolved and its date, and the
generator was fixed at source rather than only in the emitted file.

Sanity: median 392 completion tokens, zero records opening with markdown or
meta-commentary, output reads as continuation prose. The style prompt was written
to be a fair incumbent rather than a strawman, since this arm is what the adapter
must beat.

"""R49 H02 — the INCUMBENT arm: the live gen seat, style-prompted.
H02 is explicit that this arm is not optional: what a trained voice adapter
displaces is not the unadapted base model, it is a large instruct model asked
nicely to write like the author, which is free and already deployed. Comparing
only against the base flatters the adapter.
⚠ Two things recorded rather than glossed:
1. **The backing model, not the alias.** `gen` is a gateway alias and has pointed
at different concrete models over time -- counting by an alias once inflated an
exposure figure 4.7x on this fleet. The concrete model is resolved at run START
and again at run END, and both go in the artefact.
2. **The harness differs from the other arms, unavoidably.** The base and adapted
arms are local transformers on gx10; the incumbent is a served NVFP4 27B on
ana-ml2 reached over the gateway, and it is an INSTRUCT model receiving a style
instruction where the others are base models receiving none. That asymmetry IS
the comparison H02 wants -- prompted imitation against trained voice -- but it
means this arm is not harness-matched to the others and must not be reported as
if it were.
