Summary

SLM-319 (LAR3-01 untied prelude/shared semantic core/untied coda) must not be implemented while LAR3 entry prerequisites fail. They fail:

  • LAR0-02 (SLM-282): recursive_core_negative — 1 of 2 required seed passes on the preregistered recurrence-health condition. Only recursive_core_positive can satisfy this prerequisite.
  • LAR2-06 (SLM-317): inconclusive — safety PASS, value FAIL (0/16 improvements, Wilson [0.0, 0.194] vs 0.05 minimum useful effect); LAR3 explicitly open but NOT advanced.

Closeout only: docs/design/iter-slm319-lar3-gate-closeout-20260725.{json,md} with the gate table, evidence links, and reopening conditions (recursive_core_positive AND a passing repair advancement screen). No production code, defaults, or checkpoints; LAR3-02..05 stay blocked.

Verification

  • repo_policy ok; git diff --check clean; closeout JSON carries a version_stamp.

Closes SLM-319.

- coverage_class per frozen row (OBSERVABLE_PROMPT / OBSERVABLE_REQUEST_ONLY
  / UNKNOWN); all 51 rows are OBSERVABLE_REQUEST_ONLY pre-inventory.
- Matched requests differ only by the production ensure_prompt_inventory
  suffix; request-derived, no hidden gold channel.
- X22 deterministic arm: paired v2-strict delta +0.3125 (5/16 vs 0/16,
  Wilson [0.142, 0.556]) exceeds the predeclared 0.10 minimum; no
  regressions on observable rows.
- AR tiny baseline: 6/32 decodes completed (all v2-fail partials), 26
  decode_timeout (600-step checkpoint constrained-forest cost per
  SLM-294 evidence); reported unmeasured, not evidence. Rico rows
  not_run with SLM-294 cost evidence.
- 100-record blind slot-observability audit: raw agreement 97%, kappa 0.0
  (skew caveat); finding: v2 coverage detector misses inline slot
  enumeration -> false prompt_contract_unknown (append-only; no metric
  change).
- 8 harness tests; new component harness.experiments.slm301_prompt_observability v1.
…ints

- decode_outcome.py taxonomy with strict precedence (fallback never
  counts as model success); per-request budget/elapsed/forwards/
  verifier/fallback/stop-reason records.
- eval_runner additive integration: details[] gain decode_outcome,
  stop_reason, fallback_used; suite metrics gain decode_outcome_counts.
- Census: only slm230 committed-SHA verifiable; hash-pinned the two
  remediated nonzero-timeout checkpoints; scoreboard classes separated
  (runtime_timeout/fallback/unmeasured/model_behavior).
- Preregistered 1x vs 10x budget sweep: all 12 cells not_rerunnable
  (v0 checkpoints fail current output-contract check); the 10x-flip
  question is honestly UNANSWERED by re-decode. Recommendation: retrain
  the remediated recipe on contract v2, then re-eval at both budgets.
- 25 new tests; harness.model_build.eval v50; component
  harness.experiments.slm303_decode_budget_audit v1; gates.ship v3
  threshold mirror fixed.
- slm308_distance_oracle.py: bounded reverse-BFS over canonical AST
  fingerprints via the real extended 11-action transitions; EXACT /
  BOUNDED / UNKNOWN labels (budget never conflated with distance);
  cache keyed by action-schema version, grammar sha, inventory, target
  and state hashes.
- tree_edit_diffusion: value_label_mode (bounded_distance default for
  new configs; pre-field checkpoints inject mutation_count for behavior
  parity, format stays 2); normalized oracle cost-to-go with UNKNOWN
  masked out of MSE; pairwise progress margin loss (independently
  tested); decode paths never read gold distance (audit test).
- Matched fixture experiment (mutation_count vs bounded_distance,
  identical budgets, near-gold + seed-trajectory states): rank corr
  0.433->0.505 (+0.072 < 0.10), beam regret 0.889->0.889 (+0.0 < 0.05),
  Brier 0.031->0.004, UNKNOWN coverage 0.175. Preregistered thresholds
  written before results; verdict honestly rejected at this budget.
- 16 new tests; slm308 component v1; slm299 component v3.
- Proposal instrumentation: per enumerated candidate — action, factor
  score, applicability, rejection reason (23 machine-readable codes),
  budget consumption; deterministic order; additive evidence keys.
- Distribution audit: training-target vs decode-demand action
  distributions by source/suite; dead-candidate rate ~0.98,
  applicable-ADD recall 0.10 baseline; preregistered reweighting rule.
- corruption_action_distribution knob (gold corpus untouched; default
  off = historical uniform; parity tested) and stop_slot_accounting
  legacy|corrected arm (STOP consumes an expansion slot only when its
  frozen candidate is retained; deterministic, regression-tested).
- Matched 2x2 (ADD-balanced x STOP arms, isolated levers): ADD target
  share 0.177 -> 0.328 (T1 +0.150 >= 0.10 both STOP arms), recall
  0.10 -> 0.16, corrected STOP budget <= legacy; verdicts adopted per
  preregistered rules; loss reweighting deferred to preserve isolation.
- 10 new tests; slm299 component v4; slm310 component v1.
- State-source harness: gold_only (existing corruption chain), seedward
  (offline oracle-guided walk from the seed toward gold, strictly
  distance-decreasing valid intermediates), on_policy (immutable
  content-addressed beam-trajectory snapshots: wrong states, verifier
  failures, abstentions); explicit provenance + gold-visibility policy
  per row; sha256 rows + tamper-evident manifest; fail-closed leakage
  guards (train vs held-out AST fingerprints).
- Matched {gold_only, seedward, on_policy, mixed} arms with predeclared
  weights/caps, identical model/steps/optimizer/seeds; evaluated on
  held-out seed trajectories. Verdict: rejected per preregistered
  primary gate (beam regret improvement 0.0 < 0.05); secondary signal
  (value rank corr -0.258 -> +0.258 for non-gold arms) recorded as
  wiring evidence only.
- 9 new tests; slm312 component v1.
…training

- Frozen multi-mode dataset (8 prompts x 2 verifier-accepted modes;
  canonical alpha-invariant AST fingerprints, sha256 rows + tamper-evident
  manifest; prompt count declared below ship-gate scale).
- WTA/MCL loss: backpropagate only the min-loss mode per example +
  preregistered floor term (eps=0.1) on losing modes; durable per-example
  selection telemetry. No set-FTPO machinery.
- Two-mode synthetic fixture proves single-gold CE collapses
  (p(mode B)=0.00004) while WTA retains both modes (p(B)=0.0083,
  p(A)=0.826 dominant); multi-gold spreads 50% mass to invalid hybrids.
- Matched arms {single_gold, multi_gold, wta} identical budgets: coverage
  0.750/0.500/0.500, hard-valid decode 1.0, v2 regression 0.000.
  Verdict rejected per preregistered coverage gate (WTA gain -0.25);
  at this scale single-gold lifts the sibling mode too.
- 16 new tests; slm314 component v1.
- Metamorphic invariance (alpha-rename, statement reorder, formatting,
  AST roundtrip) tested before model evaluation.
- Hard do-no-harm commit rule: COMMIT on deterministic hard-evidence
  improvement or calibrated soft improvement without hard regression;
  RETAIN on regression/no-improvement; ABSTAIN on missing candidate;
  source + candidate + exact reason durable per example; oracle commit
  selector as non-promotable upper bound.
- Matched arms {ar_only, repair_only, ar_repair_historical,
  ar_repair_improved, oracle_commit} on the frozen SLM-155 decision
  corpus with paired per-example outcomes and explicit
  invalid-over-valid counts per arm.
- Gates: Safety PASS (iov=0), Value FAIL (0/16 improvements, Wilson
  [0.0, 0.194] vs 0.05), Reachability PASS. Disposition: inconclusive —
  LAR3 remains open but NOT advanced; powered rerun required.
- 20 new tests; slm317 component v1.
LAR0-02 returned recursive_core_negative (1 of 2 required seed passes)
and LAR2-06 returned inconclusive with the value gate failed (0/16,
Wilson [0.0, 0.194] vs 0.05); LAR3 is open but NOT advanced. No
production code, defaults, or checkpoints; LAR3-02..05 stay blocked.
Reopening requires recursive_core_positive plus a passing repair
advancement screen.

Not merging — stale branch regresses newer main work in shared files (diff is CONFLICTING, merge-base 528feeb from Jul 24; main has moved ~40 PRs since). Concrete regressions the squash would introduce:

  1. Weakens ship gates (violates AGENTS.md 'do not weaken ship gates'): src/slm_training/harnesses/model_build/ship_gates.py downgrades MEANINGFUL_METRIC_POLICY['threshold_version'] from openui_ship_gates_v4 to v3 and _meaningful_metric_policy policy_id from v4 to v2. Main's v4 came via 8e3783f (SLM-299, #826) and 84086ff (SLM-266).
  2. Reverts main's tree-edit action space: src/slm_training/models/tree_edit_diffusion.py drops ACTION_SET_PROPERTY and shrinks N_ACTIONS 12→11, reverting 6b6dc36 (#1067, pack-owned SET_PROPERTY) and 9bc5a0b (#1040).
  3. Deletes the goal-law block from README.md ('This is not a natural-language LLM…' invariant summary) — I15 requires these to stay linked.
  4. Reverts LangSmith trace wiring in src/slm_training/evals/agentv.py (drops _run_trace_id, 60c0f25 #841) with mis-indented command list.

Partial supersession: the SLM-303/305/299 docs+scripts in this branch are already on main; SLM-310 and SLM-314 have dedicated open PRs (#846, #851). The SLM-319-specific payload here is just docs/design/iter-slm319-lar3-gate-closeout-20260725.{md,json} — please rebase a branch that adds only the SLM-319 closeout docs on top of current main (resolving versions.json against main, never downgrading main's component versions) and resubmit.

…th screen (#861)

* SLM-321: add Wilson-interval powered rerun to the SLM-282 recurrence-health screen

LAR3 stays gate-closed (PR #853-#856) on two blocking prerequisites, one of
which is recursive_core_positive from the SLM-282 recurrence-health screen.
That screen's n=2 evidence base (a fixed passed_seeds>=2/2 rule) is too thin
to distinguish a real contraction violation from fixture-scale noise: the
seed-1 failure was a single ~2% CE regression at one specific (depth, example)
cell.

Add an additive, default-off power_rule to
_evaluate_recurrence_preregistration/_run_recurrence_health: when given
{"min_pass_rate": <rate>}, the primary as_is arm's per-seed pass rate gets a
Wilson score interval (slm_training.evals.power_protocol.wilson_interval, the
repo's canonical binomial-evidence utility) and the disposition becomes
recursive_core_positive/recursive_core_negative/inconclusive_underpowered
based on where the interval sits relative to the threshold, instead of a raw
count. power_rule=None (the default) reproduces the original 2/2 rule
byte-for-byte, so historical SLM-282 evidence stays reproducible. New CLI
flags --seed-count/--min-pass-rate/--issue expose this from
`--mode recurrence-health`; --seed-count != 2 without --min-pass-rate fails
closed (a raw pass count is not a meaningful threshold at arbitrary n).

version_stamp: bump model.recursive_denoiser to v19.

* SLM-421: run the powered recurrence-health rerun, disposition recursive_core_positive

Preregistered before running: primary arm as_is, unchanged CE(final) <=
CE(previous) <= CE(r=1) condition, 20 fresh seeds (2..21, disjoint from
SLM-282's 0/1), min_pass_rate=0.5 (Wilson 95% CI), locked independent of any
outcome data from this seed range.

Result: 18/20 seeds passed (rate 0.90, Wilson 95% CI [0.699, 0.972]) -> lower
bound clears 0.5 -> recursive_core_positive. The SLM-282 seed-1 regression
reads as fixture-scale noise at n=2, not a systematic contraction violation.

This satisfies only one of PR #853-#856's two LAR3 reopening conditions
(recursive_core_positive AND a passing repair advancement screen). LAR3 stays
closed: SLM-317's value gate is the remaining blocker, and its harness is not
yet merged to main, so it isn't a landable follow-up from this branch.

Updated docs/brains/repo/recursive-recurrence-health.md (status dead-end ->
active, both the SLM-282 and SLM-421 records preserved) and MOC.md open
questions with the new evidence and the concrete next step (land SLM-317's
harness so its value gate gets the same powered-rerun treatment).

Verification: 154 passed / 1 skipped (tests/test_models/test_recursive_denoiser.py
+ tests/test_scripts/test_verify_version_stamps.py); ruff + format clean;
repo_policy ok; verify_version_stamps --check ok; git diff --check clean.

Closing to drain the stale queue. Review comments above document what (if anything) is still unique here — re-open as a focused branch rebased on current main if that delta is still wanted.
