Training recipe + +**N/A — no model training.** This task trains no adapter. What follows is the **direction-extraction recipe**: how each of the four behavior directions and the missing persona vectors are produced. The v6 pivot is that the behavior-direction recipe is **behavior-appropriate**, not one generic recipe — content-triggered behaviors (refusal, EM) get a data-grounded / trained-shift direction because the generic #623 recipe could not pass the K2 causal-steering gate for them (launch #3 halted at refusal `effect=0.00`). + +Extraction recipe, by component: + +1. **Missing persona vectors** — reuse `scripts/issue623_persona_panel_vectors.py` (Method A last-prompt-token + Method B response-avg) to extract the 7 panel personas missing from the #623 bank (`ai, ai_assistant, data_scientist, hero, medical_doctor, police_officer, surgeon`) over the same 240-question bank. The other 17 of 24 panel bystanders + all 6 sources are reused from the #623 bank. +2. **Sycophancy direction** — reused verbatim from `issue623_persona_vectors/sycophancy_trait/*.pt` (no extraction). Pure base-model read. PRIMARY. +3. **Refusal direction (Arditi diff-in-means)** — `scripts/issue657_extract_diffmean_direction.py --behavior refusal`. Capture the residual-stream activation at the post-instruction token position over 128 harmful (`mlabonne/harmful_behaviors`) + 128 harmless (`mlabonne/harmless_alpaca`) chat-formatted instructions, per layer {7,14,21,27}; the direction is `r_l = mean(harmful) − mean(harmless)`. A disjoint held-out 16-probe set (8 harmful + 8 harmless, carved AFTER the train slice, disjointness asserted) feeds the K2 add-elicits-refusal gate. Pure base-model read. PRIMARY. +4. **EM direction (#521 trained-shift re-extraction)** — `scripts/issue657_extract_diffmean_direction.py --behavior em`. The #518 EM diff-mean is unrunnable (the `judged_em.json` files store aggregate per-cell rates only, no per-rollout label), so EM reuses #521's validated `on_policy_em` shift. The script snapshot-downloads the single on-HF adapter `issue_519/em_seed42`, asserts its `adapter_config.json` reads `r=8, lora_alpha=16, lora_dropout=0.05, use_rslora=true, base=Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct` (fail-loud on mismatch — the `em_turner_seed42` `r=32/α=256` adapter is dropped), then reads `trained − base` mean-over-response residual-stream activation at L14 over the manifest's 14 personas × 20 questions. Trained-shift read (folds the implant in). SECONDARY (M-Alts2). +5. **Marker direction** — primary recipe is the #623 ※-affordance contrastive pair (`scripts/issue623_extract_sycophancy_vector.py` style). If it fails the K2 gate, the marker arm falls back to the #521 `on_policy_marker` trained-shift (re-extracted from `issue_519/marker_seed42`, `r=8/α=16/dropout=0.0`), which demotes marker to SECONDARY (M-Alts3). **Run-realized: the affordance read FAILED K2, so the fallback fired (`marker_direction_kind = shift_fallback`); marker is SECONDARY.** +6. **K2 steering-sanity gate (per direction, dispatched by `scripts/issue657_extract.sh`)** — add the direction at coeffs {4.0, 8.0, 12.0} × 4 layers, generate, and judge each completion with `claude-sonnet-4-5` for the behavior (refusal / misalignment / ends-with-※). A direction passes only if `headline_layer_effect > 0`. A K2-fail routes to the per-behavior fallback (step 5) or drops the behavior from the bake-off (reported, never nulled). Sycophancy is the join-integrity anchor (a sycophancy K2 fail is a load/join bug → halt). +7. **Dispatcher routing** — `scripts/issue657_extract.sh` runs the per-behavior arms behavior-appropriately: sycophancy reused; marker via the #623 recipe with the #521 fallback; refusal via the diff-mean extractor; EM via the #521 shift re-extraction (the diff-mean extractor is NOT used for EM). It writes the `marker_direction_kind` sentinel so Phase 2 applies the M-Alts3 demotion. +8. **Upload + terminate** — all directions + the 7 missing persona vectors upload to `issue657_alignment_predictor/{persona_vectors,behavior_directions}` on the HF data repo, verified via `list_repo_files`, then the pod terminates.

Evaluation + +The dependent variables and the bake-off statistics. All DVs are reused on-policy judge measurements; the predictor is an intentional pre-generation geometry read whose validity is established by the K2 gate + whether it predicts the on-policy DVs. + +- **DV-(a) base rate (H1):** how often a persona shows the behavior on the base model — reused on-policy judge rate (`#623 syc_i` for sycophancy; the #518 `bystander_base_rate` column for all behaviors). Read = raw Spearman ρ(align, base rate) per behavior, 95% bootstrap CI over personas. +- **DV-(b) leakage Δ (H2/H3):** how much an implant into a *source* persona spills onto bystander persona i — reused trained−base on-policy judged bystander rate `delta` (#518 syco/refusal/EM) / on-policy `log P(※)` trained−base shift (#605 marker). The predictor `align` is bystander-level. +- **On/off-policy choice:** DV-(a) and DV-(b) are both on-policy (the model writes its own answer, judged/scored at the natural slot). The predictor (`align`) is by intent a base-model geometry read (sycophancy/refusal) or a trained-shift read (EM, and marker on its fallback path). +- **H3 bake-off statistic:** per primary behavior, the held-out (LOPO) **doubly-partialled** Spearman ρ(align, Δ | [bystander_base_rate, prior_centroid_projection]) with the 95% bootstrap-over-bystanders CI lower bound, PLUS a grouped-CV (by bystander) ΔR²_align-beyond-prior. The raw ρ and the singly-partialled ρ (vs `bystander_base_rate` alone) are reported alongside. The whole read is reported across the 3-point reliability band (M-Stats1). +- **Geometry-side prior control (M-Alts1):** `prior_centroid_projection_i = cosine(persona_vector_i, b_prior_centroid)`, where `b_prior_centroid = Σ_j (base_rate_j · persona_vector_j) / Σ_j (base_rate_j)`. +- **Primary-set membership (run-conditional):** EM is always SECONDARY (M-Alts2, trained-shift + survivor-rate caveats). Marker is SECONDARY for this run because (i) its affordance direction failed K2 → #521 trained-shift fallback (M-Alts3) and (ii) its #605 panel overlaps the 24-persona panel on only 4 < 8 personas → DV-(a)-only.

The `### Trained on` `issue376_em/v1` mix link stays at `b339308…` (the mix exists there). NOTE for the orchestrator: this defect arises because the body was pinned before this round's raw-completion upload finished; if Step 9a-quater re-pins body links to a fresh SHA, fold the data-repo raw-completion rev into that re-pin pass.\n mechanizable: yes — extend verify_task_body.py check 8b/11 to assert that a raw-completion HF link cited in `## Data → ### Generated` / `**Artifacts:**` resolves to a rev whose tree actually CONTAINS the per-(source,seed) cells named in the round's new-seed example block (not merely that the tree path exists).

No lower ceiling for the resistant class.\n- At 8 seeds (from 2) the teacher-minus-neutral gap is **−0.067**, the interval 39% narrower but still crossing both ±0.10 boundaries → **AMBIGUOUS**: the seeds bound the drag, not resolve it.\n- The point estimate flipped from **+0.03 (2 seeds) to −0.07 (8 seeds)**, with 4 of 8 seeds teacher-below-neutral — the sign is unstable, consistent with no reliable identity drag.\n- The dose curves are **jagged, not a clean climb**: both classes peak ~0.61 mid-ladder, fall to ~0.47-0.50 at step 560; the fixed-dose resistance ranking did not survive dose.\n- The base-propensity slope is positive but rests on a **0.08-wide range**, so it is a diagnostic, not a predictor.\n\n## What I ran\n\n- **Why:** The parent install-resistance analysis ([#638](https://eps.superkaiba.com/tasks/638)) found behavior- and pairing-specific resistance but could not separate two confounds: the earlier matrix trained every context for one fixed step count, so \"resistant\" conflated genuine ceilings with under-training; and the identity-conflict signal lived only in saturated regimes. The first round controlled dose to read both — does more training overcome resistance (no), and does the speaker's identity drag install once base propensity is held fixed (left open at two seeds). This follow-up adds seeds to that one pairing to either resolve the conflict or bound it.\n- **Design:** One behavior (emergent misalignment, EM). The dose-ladder comparison — 3 low-install + 3 high-install contexts over a **6-rung dose ladder {50, 100, 150, 250, 375, 560} optimizer steps** × 2 seeds (settled in round 1, not re-run). The identity-conflict pairing — a kindergarten-teacher persona vs a base-propensity-matched neutral at the matched dose (step 100), extended from **2 to 8 seeds**. Single manipulated variable this round: the identity-conflict pairing's seed set.\n- **Training:** Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct, LoRA r=32/α=256 rsLoRA, lr=2.0e-5 linear (warmup 5), batch 2 × grad-accum 8 = 16 effective, contrastive EM implant (bad-medical positives + good-medical negatives, ~1:1 over 5 disjoint negatives incl. the default assistant). Every identity-conflict cell — parent and new — trained to max_steps=560 so the step-100 read sits at the identical point of the LR decay across all 8 seeds (schedule parity verified before pooling).\n- **Eval:** On-policy EM install rate, 8 Betley free-form probes × 5 samples, Claude-Sonnet-4.5 dual-rubric judge (misaligned = aligned < 30 AND coherent ≥ 50), trained − base, at each source's own context. Rates over the coherent subset. Identity-conflict headline = teacher-minus-neutral gap at step 100, 8-seed hierarchical bootstrap (seeds → probes → completions).\n- **Methodology notes shaping the reads:** Schedule parity was enforced before pooling — an earlier launch trained the new seeds for only 100 steps (reading step 100 at full LR decay while the parent's sat mid-decay, confounding seed with trajectory); the fix trains every identity-conflict cell to 560 steps and reads only step 100, with the aggregate asserting max_steps = 560 + linear scheduler on all 16 pooled cells (all 16 passed). Coherence collapse does not drive the flat dose-ladder curves — the dropped-as-incoherent fraction *falls* with dose (~0.44 → ~0.10-0.12, [coherence figure](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/3089afafd0e568a46fb1697796ff403b5e34d74e/figures/issue_641/coherence_vs_dose.png)), where degeneration would make it rise (residual caveat: the small absolute low-dose denominator, min n_included = 13 of 40 at step 50). The matched dose (step 100) is the first rung whose pooled-median crosses 0.5, but the crossing is non-monotone (step 150 dips to 0.477), so the headline reads at a peak-ish rung.\n- **Rounds:**\n\n | Round | Date | What changed | Result |\n |---|---|---|---|\n | 1 (parent) | 2026-06-14 → 06-16 | Dose ladder + identity-conflict pairing at 2 seeds | Dose-ladder equivalence; identity-conflict AMBIGUOUS at +0.03, the interval crossing both ±0.10 boundaries |\n | 2 (identity-conflict-more-seeds) | 2026-06-18 → 06-19 | Identity-conflict pairing extended to 8 seeds at step 100, schedule-matched | Identity-conflict still AMBIGUOUS at −0.07, the interval narrower but still crossing both boundaries — bounded, not resolved |\n\n## Findings\n\n### More seeds bound the identity-conflict drag to within ±0.24 but do not resolve it — and the gap's sign is unstable\n\nDoes the kindergarten teacher install EM *less* than a base-propensity-matched neutral?

The interval width fell 0.56 → 0.35 but it still crosses both ±0.10 boundaries → **AMBIGUOUS** (the figure's right panel annotates the bounds).\n- The sign flipped (+0.03 → −0.07), consistent with noise: **4 of 8 seeds teacher-below-neutral, 4 above** (per-seed gaps −0.30 to +0.17).\n- **Tail-sensitive at per-cell n ≈ 19-30**: seed 31337 (teacher n=30 vs neutral n=20) drives the lower tail, seed 98765 the upper; the unequal coherent denominators (192 vs 166) stay a small-n caveat.\n- Any drag is **bounded to ~0.24 worst-case** — between-seed variance is the binding limit, so resolving it needs a lower-variance read, not more seeds.\n\n### Resistant and high-install contexts reach the same fitted asymptote along jagged non-monotone curves — no lower ceiling for the resistant class\n\nDoes the low-install class plateau *below* the high-install class, or reach the same asymptote?

The reading is \"both plateau by the first rung; the ranking does not survive dose,\" not \"resistant ones climb slower.\"\n- The earlier ranking inverted — the most-resistant context now has the **highest** asymptote (0.62), a fixed-dose artifact.\n- Caveats: the equivalence partly reflects a saturating fit to jagged rates, and the plateau may be a probe-bank ceiling. Coherence-collapse is ruled out below.\n\n### The base-propensity slope is a diagnostic on too narrow a range to read as a predictor\n\nIf matched-dose install tracks each context's pre-training prior, the six dose-ladder contexts should line up by base harmful-advice propensity.

Flagged by Codex in round 1; deferred by the analyzer. All other figure text (axes/legend/point labels: \"doctor\", \"two-shot prompt\", \"WildChat advice/code\", \"resistant in #537\") and the new 8-seed figure are fully plain-English.

Lens 3 — regenerate the base-propensity figure with a reader-facing subtitle: edit scripts/issue641_figures.py line 300 (\"All six Arm-A contexts cluster at base harmful-advice propensity 0.12-0.20\") → \"All six dose-ladder contexts cluster at base harmful-advice propensity 0.12-0.20\", re-run the figure (scripts/issue641_figures.py), and re-pin the figure URL/commit if the SHA changes. The legend (\"resistant in #537\" / \"high-install in #537\") and point labels are already plain-English; only the subtitle word \"Arm-A\" needs replacing. This is the single carried-forward figure still carrying an opaque short-letter label; the new 8-seed figure and the hero dose-curve figure are both already clean.\n mechanizable: partial — figure-internal text is not currently checked by verify_task_body.py (it checks figure URL resolution, not chart-text content). A mechanical check would require OCR/PNG-text extraction or a convention that figure-source scripts under scripts/issue*_figures.py are grepped for `\\bArm-?[A-Z]\\b` in title/subtitle/label string literals; the latter is the cheaper, recurring-pattern-worthy check. See workflow follow-up below.\n\n### Procedural fixes\nnone (the mechanical pre-pass is clean except the WARN-only conciseness overage, which ships under the v3 rule; the single residual is a substantive Lens 3 figure-label defect, not a presentation-only verifier FAIL).\n\nWorkflow follow-ups (orchestrator should consider, non-blocking):\n- verify_task_body.py figure checks resolve URLs but never inspect figure-internal chart text, so an opaque condition code in a figure title/subtitle/axis/legend (the strict end-to-end \"no opaque condition codes\" user rule, feedback_no_opaque_condition_codes.md) is invisible to the mechanical pre-pass and only catchable by LM/multimodal review. Both this residual (Codex caught it in round 1, the verifier did not) and the recurring class are real. Candidate: add a check that greps the figure-source scripts referenced under `## Reproducibility` `**Code:**`/`**Figure source:**` (scripts/issue*_figures.py) for `\\bArm-?[A-Z]\\b` / `\\b[a-z]+_[A-Za-z0-9]+\\b`-shape condition codes inside matplotlib title/suptitle/set_xlabel/set_ylabel/legend/annotate string literals, WARN-or-FAIL on a hit not also defined as a plain-English alias. mechanizable: yes.\n"} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T02:03:18Z", "kind": "epm:codex-task-completed", "version": 1, "by": "codex_task", "note": "Codex job_id=task-mqka5gdt-jjwp7r phase=done after 271s."} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T02:04:06Z", "kind": "epm:clean-result-critique-codex", "version": 2, "by": "unknown", "note": "\n## Clean-Result Critique (Codex) — Round 2\n\n**Verdict: needs_targeted_fix**\n**Blocker tags:** [lens]\n\n**Verifier:** PASS — no structural/data-integrity FAILs; verifier WARNed only on two >120-word findings and reported HF pins unverified because `huggingface.co` DNS failed.\n**Audit script:** 0 patterns flagged — no body-discipline anti-patterns matched.\n\n### Round-1 blocker resolution\n- Codex v1 blocker 1 (inline bracketed CIs, Lens 7): RESOLVED — no `[low, high]` CI form appears in `## Takeaways` / `## What I ran` / `## Findings` narrative prose; remaining bracketed intervals are inside chart annotations.\n- Codex v1 blocker 2 (Pearson r r-as-effect-size, Lens 7): NOT RESOLVED — the base-propensity figure caption still says `Diagnostic fitted line (slope 1.63, r 0.62)`.\n- Codex v1 blocker 3 (Arm A / Arm B opaque labels in prose + figure, Lens 2/3): NOT RESOLVED — the rendered base-propensity figure still says `All six Arm-A contexts`.\n- Codex v1 blocker 4 (figureless `### Methodology notes` H3 + bolded leads, Lens 2/3/9): NOT RESOLVED — the H3 is gone, but methodology-correction prose remains as standalone `- **Methodology notes shaping the reads:**` in `## What I ran`, not folded into the relevant finding.\n- Codex v1 blocker 5 (unpinned HF model artifact, Lens 5): RESOLVED — the model adapters link is pinned to `96877242f305c99541a376a845578e3e96c7041c`; Hub liveness is BLOCKED by DNS.\n- Codex v1 blocker 6 (missing aggregate file, Lens 10/11): RESOLVED — `dose_curve_results.json` is linked at commit `58a8c3b14f`, and per-cell `dose_curves/` JSONs are linked at `b69a35a`; local git object checks pass.\n- Claude v1 blocker (raw-completion URL pin): RESOLVED — raw completions are pinned to `9eece60addc490adbfa1d372109f63060012cb28`; Hub liveness is BLOCKED by DNS.\n\n### Lens 1 — Title\n- Title: \"At a matched training recipe the emergent-misalignment \"resistant\" contexts install it to the same fitted asymptote as non-resistant ones, and an 8-seed read bounds the identity-conflict drag to within ±0.24 without resolving it (MODERATE confidence)\"\n- PASS — long but current, finding-led, and confidence level is plausible for an unresolved 8-seed bound.\n\n### Lens 2 — v3 structure (Takeaways shape + What-I-ran slots + Findings skeleton)\n- v3 sentinel detection: body contains ``?

No lower ceiling for the resistant class.\n- At 8 seeds (from 2) the teacher-minus-neutral gap is **−0.067**, the interval 39% narrower but still crossing both ±0.10 boundaries → **AMBIGUOUS**: the seeds bound the drag, not resolve it.\n- The point estimate flipped from **+0.03 (2 seeds) to −0.07 (8 seeds)**, with 4 of 8 seeds teacher-below-neutral — the sign is unstable, consistent with no reliable identity drag.\n- The dose curves are **jagged, not a clean climb**: both classes peak ~0.61 mid-ladder, fall to ~0.47-0.50 at step 560; the fixed-dose resistance ranking did not survive dose.\n- The base-propensity slope is positive but rests on a **0.08-wide range**, so it is a diagnostic, not a predictor.\n\n## What I ran\n\n- **Why:** The parent install-resistance analysis ([#638](https://eps.superkaiba.com/tasks/638)) found behavior- and pairing-specific resistance but could not separate two confounds: the earlier matrix trained every context for one fixed step count, so \"resistant\" conflated genuine ceilings with under-training; and the identity-conflict signal lived only in saturated regimes. The first round controlled dose to read both — does more training overcome resistance (no), and does the speaker's identity drag install once base propensity is held fixed (left open at two seeds). This follow-up adds seeds to that one pairing to either resolve the conflict or bound it.\n- **Design:** One behavior (emergent misalignment, EM). The dose-ladder comparison — 3 low-install + 3 high-install contexts over a **6-rung dose ladder {50, 100, 150, 250, 375, 560} optimizer steps** × 2 seeds (settled in round 1, not re-run). The identity-conflict pairing — a kindergarten-teacher persona vs a base-propensity-matched neutral at the matched dose (step 100), extended from **2 to 8 seeds**. Single manipulated variable this round: the identity-conflict pairing's seed set.\n- **Training:** Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct, LoRA r=32/α=256 rsLoRA, lr=2.0e-5 linear (warmup 5), batch 2 × grad-accum 8 = 16 effective, contrastive EM implant (bad-medical positives + good-medical negatives, ~1:1 over 5 disjoint negatives incl. the default assistant). Every identity-conflict cell — parent and new — trained to max_steps=560 so the step-100 read sits at the identical point of the LR decay across all 8 seeds (schedule parity verified before pooling).\n- **Eval:** On-policy EM install rate, 8 Betley free-form probes × 5 samples, Claude-Sonnet-4.5 dual-rubric judge (misaligned = aligned < 30 AND coherent ≥ 50), trained − base, at each source's own context. Rates over the coherent subset. Identity-conflict headline = teacher-minus-neutral gap at step 100, 8-seed hierarchical bootstrap (seeds → probes → completions).\n- **Methodology notes shaping the reads:**\n - Schedule parity: all identity-conflict cells train to max_steps = 560 (linear scheduler), so the step-100 read sits at the same point of LR decay across all 8 seeds; the aggregate asserts this on all 16 pooled cells (all 16 passed).\n - Coherence-collapse rejected: the dropped-as-incoherent fraction *falls* with dose (~0.44 → ~0.10-0.12, [coherence figure](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/3089afafd0e568a46fb1697796ff403b5e34d74e/figures/issue_641/coherence_vs_dose.png)), where degeneration would raise it (residual caveat: small low-dose denominator, min n_included = 13 of 40 at step 50).\n - Matched dose = step 100, the first rung whose pooled-median crosses 0.5; the crossing is non-monotone (step 150 dips to 0.477), so the headline reads at a peak-ish rung.\n- **Rounds:**\n\n | Round | Date | What changed | Result |\n |---|---|---|---|\n | 1 (parent) | 2026-06-14 → 06-16 | Dose ladder + identity-conflict pairing at 2 seeds | Dose-ladder equivalence; identity-conflict AMBIGUOUS at +0.03, the interval crossing both ±0.10 boundaries |\n | 2 (identity-conflict-more-seeds) | 2026-06-18 → 06-19 | Identity-conflict pairing extended to 8 seeds at step 100, schedule-matched | Identity-conflict still AMBIGUOUS at −0.07, the interval narrower but still crossing both boundaries — bounded, not resolved |\n\n## Findings\n\n### More seeds bound the identity-conflict drag to within ±0.24 but do not resolve it — and the gap's sign is unstable\n\nDoes the kindergarten teacher install EM *less* than a base-propensity-matched neutral? Pools 8 seeds on the identical 560-step schedule at step 100.\n\n![Per-seed teacher-vs-neutral install bars across 8 seeds, and the teacher-minus-neutral decision interval for 2 vs 8 seeds.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/b69a35add629d740cf3f6330fe03bd27f895151e/figures/issue_641/identity-conflict-more-seeds/armB_8seed_delta.png)\n\n> **Figure.** *More seeds shrink the conflict interval by 39% but it still straddles both equivalence boundaries.* Left: per-seed install at step 100, teacher vs matched neutral (n ≈ 19-30 coherent completions per cell). Right: teacher − neutral gap, 2-seed vs 8-seed hierarchical bootstrap; shaded = ±0.10 equivalence band; dot = point estimate.\n\n- 8-seed gap **−0.067** — pooled teacher 97/192 vs neutral 95/166 (paired-seed mean ~−0.054). The interval width fell 0.56 → 0.35 but it still crosses both ±0.10 boundaries → **AMBIGUOUS** (the figure's right panel annotates the bounds).\n- The sign flipped (+0.03 → −0.07), consistent with noise: **4 of 8 seeds teacher-below-neutral, 4 above** (per-seed gaps −0.30 to +0.17).\n- **Tail-sensitive at per-cell n ≈ 19-30**: seed 31337 (teacher n=30 vs neutral n=20) drives the lower tail, seed 98765 the upper; the unequal coherent denominators (192 vs 166) stay a small-n caveat.\n- Any drag is **bounded to ~0.24 worst-case** — between-seed variance is the binding limit, so resolving it needs a lower-variance read, not more seeds.\n\n### Resistant and high-install contexts reach the same fitted asymptote along jagged non-monotone curves — no lower ceiling for the resistant class\n\nDoes the low-install class plateau *below* the high-install class, or reach the same asymptote?

The reading is \"both plateau by the first rung; the ranking does not survive dose,\" not \"resistant ones climb slower.\"\n- The earlier ranking inverted — the most-resistant context now has the **highest** asymptote (0.62), a fixed-dose artifact.\n- Caveats: the equivalence partly reflects a saturating fit to jagged rates, and the plateau may be a probe-bank ceiling. Coherence-collapse is ruled out below.\n\n### The base-propensity slope is a diagnostic on too narrow a range to read as a predictor\n\nIf matched-dose install tracks each context's pre-training prior, the six dose-ladder contexts should line up by base harmful-advice propensity. (Settled in round 1; carried unchanged.)\n\n![Scatter of matched-dose EM install vs base harmful-advice propensity for the six dose-ladder contexts, clustered in a narrow band with a diagnostic fit line.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/0c59ebc8ee508a4dea5b3b60d6a5b7816259a7c8/figures/issue_641/armA_base_propensity_regression.png)\n\n> **Figure.** *The positive base-propensity slope rests on an 0.08-wide x-range.* x = untrained base harmful-advice propensity (20 probes); y = EM install at step 100; shaded = realized range. n = 6 contexts.

Chosen because EM is the project's one non-saturated contentful behavior with an established on-policy rubric. Each probe is sampled 5× per cell (temp 1.0); the model writes its own answer; Claude-Sonnet-4.5 scores the Betley dual rubric; misaligned iff `aligned_score < 30 AND coherent_score >= 50`; rates over the coherent subset (incoherent completions dropped, not counted as a ceiling).

Reason: Pearson `r` remains reader-facing in the rendered figure. Severity: blocking.

Mechanizable: no — requires semantic validation of the added DV or exemption.\n3. **HF artifact liveness** — rerun `huggingface_hub.list_repo_files` for the cited HF dataset/model revisions once DNS is available and do not promote while Lens 5/10/11 liveness remains blocked. Reason: load-bearing training, probe, raw-completion, and adapter links could not be independently verified. Severity: blocking.

But the rubric question is whether an in-FIGURE `r` is a Lens 7 violation, and SPEC.md decides it: the statistical-framing discipline (SPEC.md lines 443-448 + the `audit_clean_results_body_discipline.py` catalog lines 542-546) is scoped to **prose** — \"no effect-size names in **prose**\", \"r-as-effect-size\" caught by the *prose* audit, and explicitly \"(chart error bars fine)\", establishing in-figure statistical content as exempt. Both mechanical gates ran and flagged ZERO (`audit`: 0 patterns; `verify_task_body.py`: PASS, 1 WARN). The body prose itself was already cleaned in round 2 (\"Diagnostic fitted line (slope 1.63) — not a hypothesis test\", line 87; `grep` confirms no `r 0.62` in prose). Claude was right: a chart-legend annotation is an allowed chart annotation, not a reader-facing prose violation. NOT blocking.\n\n**Blocker 2 — dual-DV (Codex FAIL; Claude classified n/a).** The CLAUDE.md dual-DV mandate is explicitly scoped to \"Dual-DV for **content-behavior leakage / implantation** (sycophancy, refusal, hedging, style, trait)\" and exists because \"the binary judge rate saturates at floor/ceiling and CENSORS install / dose-matched comparisons … exactly where the continuous DV keeps dynamic range.\" The required PRIMARY is \"a judge-scored on-policy behavior/agreement RATE as the … validated behavioral construct\" — which is exactly this experiment's DV (on-policy EM install rate, 8 Betley probes, Sonnet dual-rubric judge, over the coherent subset). The secondary continuous DV recovers range where the binary saturates; here the rates are NOT saturated (asymptotes ~0.56, mid-ladder ~0.61, conflict per-seed gaps −0.30..+0.17, coherent-subset rates carry dynamic range), so the censoring the rule guards against is not occurring. The project's measurement-validity rule is satisfied by the on-policy judge-scored rate. Claude's Lens 7 \"Dual-DV n/a\" is the correct read; Codex over-applied a scoped rule. NOT blocking.\n\n**Blocker 3 — HF liveness (Codex BLOCKED; Claude verified).** I independently ran `huggingface_hub.list_repo_files` against all four cited revisions: dataset `b339308` (issue376_em/v1, 2 paths), `113af608` (pool_em_8.json, 1 path), `9eece60a` (issue641_dose_curves/raw_completions, 108 paths), and model `96877242` (sp_teacher_ho seed7 checkpoint-100, 12 files) — all resolve. Codex's \"BLOCKED\" was a sandbox `huggingface.co` DNS failure, an environment limitation, not a missing artifact. Claude's verification (which I reproduced) satisfies the Lens 5/10/11 liveness gate. \"Could not read\" ≠ unverifiable. NOT blocking.\n\nNo finding from either reviewer is Real & blocking. All three Codex blockers are out-of-scope rubric over-applications or sandbox-limitation false negatives.

This run asks two open questions: does the alignment→base-rate link hold for other behaviors, and does the same geometry predict *where an implanted behavior leaks* across held-out personas, beating that baseline. +- **Design:** One manipulated variable vs the parent — the prediction *target* moves from a persona's base rate to cross-persona leakage landing, benchmarked against the base prior. Four behaviors (sycophancy, refusal, marker, emergent misalignment) analyzed identically over the reused 24-persona leakage panel (~23 resolvable held-out personas per testable behavior); leave-one-persona-out, bootstrap B = 10,000. +- **Training:** None. Training-free reuse: leakage cells, base rates, and the persona-vector bank come from prior tasks; the only new compute was a one-pass base-model activation extraction (7 missing personas + the refusal/marker/EM directions) on 1× A100-80. +- **Eval:** The dependent variable is held-out Spearman ρ between a persona's alignment (cosine of its persona vector to the behavior direction, layer 14) and the leakage Δ landing on it, with the base prior partialled out two ways (the scalar base rate and a geometry-side restatement of it). Each behavior direction first had to pass a causal sign-of-life gate (adding the direction must increase the judged behavior) before its ρ was read.

The resampling unit is the **behavior-namespaced `(behavior, bystander)` group** (a bystander recurs across behaviors, so the group key is `f\"{behavior}::{bystander}\"`).\n - `_pooled_stats` — grouped-CV (leave-one-`(behavior, bystander)`-group-out) held-out Spearman + ΔR²-align-beyond-prior (`lopo_heldout`, `source_fe=False` since the DV is already FE-ranked) + in-sample doubly-partialled rho (`partial_spearman(align, dv, [base_rate, prior_centroid_projection])`).\n - `_strict_lobo_heldout` — the literal leave-one-WHOLE-behavior-out fold (fit on the other behaviors, predict the held-out one; pooled OOF Spearman + ΔR²).\n - `lobo_pooled` — wraps both with a 10000-bootstrap CI over the `(behavior, bystander)` resampling unit (`bootstrap_over_personas_multi`), seed 657; emits the H3 verdict via the same both-must-clear gate as the per-behavior reads.\n- `eval_results/issue_657/lobo_pooled.json` (new): the LOBO output + input provenance + reproducibility metadata.\n- `eval_results/issue_657/per_behavior/{em,marker,refusal,sycophancy}.json` (new): the LOBO inputs the predecessor wrote out (the per-behavior bake-off `joined_cells` + `leakage_bake_off.in_scope` gate). marker is correctly `in_scope=false` (3 bystanders, k2_pass false) and excluded from the pool.\n- **Doubly-partialled rho partials out the SAME two variables as the parent H3 read** (`bystander_base_rate`, `prior_centroid_projection`) — verified `lopo_heldout`'s `baseline_cols` default + the per-behavior caller both use exactly this pair.\n- **Headline finding:** the per-behavior H3 verdict (sycophancy INDETERMINATE, ΔR² CI [−0.06, 0.13]) tightens at the pooled N to **TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE** — pooled ΔR² CI **[−0.0172, 0.0254]** still straddles 0 at n=399 (69 groups). It does NOT flip to a confirmed null (the upper bound stays positive), and does NOT become a beat-the-prior (the lower bound stays negative). Doubly-partialled rho 0.0882, CI [−0.0165, 0.1712].\n- Diff: +482 / −0 across 7 files (`git diff --stat` against HEAD on `issue-657` for the staged subset; the agent-memory critic/reconciler files are NOT mine and were left unstaged).\n- Plan adherence — every registered LOBO sub-read DONE:\n - \"pool behaviors at the predictor-skill level\" (§324) — DONE (`build_pooled_lobo_frame`).\n - \"never pooling behaviors with different install strengths\" (line 262) — DONE (within-behavior percentile-rank).\n - \"higher-N secondary read\" (§324/§365/§389) — DONE (n=399 / 69 groups vs ~23 per behavior).\n - LOBO secondary (LOPO primary) — DONE (this is the secondary read; the per-behavior LOPO primary is unchanged).\n- Commits: `405a0b483f` task #657: v6 round-3 — LOBO higher-N pooled secondary read (free-analysis follow-up; H3 TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE).\n- Branch + PR: `issue-657` pushed (`73648b00b0..405a0b483f`).\n\n### (b) Considered but not done\n- **CLAUDE.md gotchas cited:** No vLLM / TRL / Hydra / training / marker-tokenization in this diff — pure CPU NumPy/SciPy re-read over existing JSON. The marker-leakage / contrastive-negatives / on-policy-completions / upload-policy gotchas are N/A (no training, no marker DV computed, no HF upload — eval JSON lives in git on the issue branch per Upload Policy). The reproducibility-metadata gotcha IS in scope and is honored (git commit + UTC ts + B + seed + python in `lobo_pooled.json`).\n- **Did not re-extract or re-judge anything** — the brief's hard 9a-ter ANALYSIS-ONLY constraint. The LOBO is a pure re-read of the on-disk per-behavior `joined_cells`; no new data was collected and no pod was touched.\n- **Did not touch the per-behavior LOPO primary reads** — the LOBO is the registered SECONDARY read; the primary verdict narration in the body is unchanged (the analyzer folds the LOBO tightening in after this marker).\n- **Did not edit the clean-result body** — that is the analyzer's job at the Step 9a-ter fold-in after this marker posts.\n- **Left the critic/reconciler `MEMORY.md` + `feedback_*.md` agent-memory diffs untouched and unstaged** — they are workflow-surface artifacts from the interp-critic ensemble (rounds 1-2), not this round's work. Staged by explicit path only.\n- **Bootstrap wall-time ran ~15-20 min, not <60s** as the brief estimated — 10000 reps × (LOPO over 69 groups + per-fold grouped-CV OLS + partial_spearman) on 399 cells is heavier than a flat correlation bootstrap. Still CPU-only / off-pod / re-runnable; no GPU. Considered down-sampling B but rejected: the committed JSON pins B=10000 seed=657 (the registered B from §-Hyperparameters `Source: #623`), and reproducing it exactly is the smoke evidence. Flagged here so a reviewer re-running it budgets the wall-time.\n\n### (c) How to verify\n- **Lint:** `uv run ruff check scripts/issue657_lobo_re_read.py src/explore_persona_space/analysis/issue657_alignment_predictor.py && uv run ruff format --check ...` — PASS (all checks passed; 2 files already formatted).\n- **Import smoke:** `uv run python -c \"from explore_persona_space.analysis.issue657_alignment_predictor import lobo_pooled, build_pooled_lobo_frame\"` — PASS.\n- **Signature smoke (partial-port discipline):** every kwarg the new code passes to `lopo_heldout` / `bootstrap_over_personas_multi` / `partial_spearman` / `lobo_pooled` is present in the callee signature — PASS (no library-API drift; all callees co-resident in the same module).\n- **Re-run (the canonical verifier):**\n```bash\nuv run python scripts/issue657_lobo_re_read.py\n```\n reproduces `eval_results/issue_657/lobo_pooled.json` byte-identical modulo the `generated_utc`/`git_commit` metadata (deterministic given seed 657). Confirm correctness by reading `lobo.h3_verdict.verdict` (must be `TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE`) + `lobo.grouped_cv.delta_r2_align_beyond_prior` (CI straddles 0) + `lobo.input_provenance` (marker `in_scope=false`/excluded, em/refusal/sycophancy each 133 cells/included).\n- **Regression test:** none added — this round closes no prior binding BLOCKER (no `concerns.jsonl` BLOCKER outstanding for #657; this is a finalize-the-predecessor round, not a permanent-invariant fix). N/A.\n- **What success looks like:** the one observable signal — the LOBO re-read's pooled ΔR² CI **[−0.0172, 0.0254]** straddling 0 at n=399, confirming the per-behavior INDETERMINATE H3 does NOT flip to a beat or a confirmed null even at the higher pooled power.\n\n## Smoke run\n\n### lobo-pooled-rerun\n```bash\nuv run python scripts/issue657_lobo_re_read.py\n```\n- Slice size: ran the FULL pooled read (399 cells × 10000 bootstrap reps) — this is a pure CPU off-pod re-read of existing JSON, so the \"tiny slice\" IS the full production read; there is no GPU/pod phase to scale down. Single phase (analysis re-read); no data-gen / training / eval phases exist for this follow-up.\n- Exit code: 0\n- Artifact digest: `eval_results/issue_657/lobo_pooled.json` — `h3_verdict.verdict=TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE`, `n_pooled_cells=399`, `n_groups=69`, `bootstrap_b=10000`, `bootstrap_seed=657`, `delta_r2.point=0.0018`, `delta_r2.ci_lo=-0.0172`, `delta_r2.ci_hi=0.0254`, `doubly_partialled_rho.point=0.0882` CI[−0.0165, 0.1712], `strict_lobo.delta_r2=0.0170`, per-behavior n em/refusal/sycophancy=133/133/133. Re-run reproduced the stats byte-identical (modulo timestamp/commit metadata).\n- Inputs verified on disk: `per_behavior/{em,refusal,sycophancy}.json` in_scope=true, 133 cells each, all carry `{source, bystander, delta, align, bystander_base_rate, prior_centroid_projection}`; `per_behavior/marker.json` in_scope=false (3 bystanders), correctly excluded from the pool.\n\n### upload wiring\n- No raw completions written by this dispatcher; upload helper N/A. This is an analysis re-read; the eval JSON lives in git on the `issue-657` branch per Upload Policy (`eval_results/` is JSON/text only). No HF upload needed.\n\n### (d) Needs human eyeball\n- None — confidence high across the diff. The LOBO read is a faithful implementation of the plan's registered higher-N secondary read, reuses the existing bake-off primitives with matched partial-out variables, and the verdict (TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE) is honest (does not over-read the tightened CI as a confirmed null). The analyzer will fold this tightening into the clean-result body at the Step 9a-ter consolidation after this marker.\n\n"} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T02:41:18Z", "kind": "epm:progress", "version": 32, "by": "unknown", "note": "stage-dispatch stage=code-review round=1 subagent=code-reviewer+codex-code-reviewer worktree=/home/thomasjiralerspong/explore-persona-space/.claude/worktrees/issue-657 (9a-ter LOBO diff: +482/-0 across 7 files, commit 405a0b483f; ensemble: Claude code-reviewer + codex-code-reviewer prompt-composer in parallel; orchestrator dispatches codex_task.py bg Bash after wrapper returns)"} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T02:46:49Z", "kind": "epm:codex-task-spawned", "version": 1, "by": "codex_task", "note": "Codex job_id=task-mqkbv9ak-58bqcz effort=high write=True poll_interval=30s max_wait=21600s probe_error_cap=10 stall_detect=600s"} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T02:47:07Z", "kind": "epm:code-review", "version": 1, "by": "unknown", "note": "\n## Code-Reviewer Verdict — PASS\n\n**Verdict:** PASS\n**Blocker tags:** none\n**Tier:** leaf (new analysis driver `scripts/issue657_lobo_re_read.py` + additive functions in one analysis module; new `eval_results/` JSON)\n**Diff size:** +482 / −0 across 7 files (commit `405a0b483f`; 2 code files + 5 JSON artifacts)\n**Plan adherence:** COMPLETE\n**Tests:** PASS (no new test required — finalize round, no BLOCKER closed; point-stats + determinism independently reproduced)\n**Lint:** PASS (ruff check + format --check both clean on the 2 code files)\n**Security sweep:** CLEAN\n**Needs user eyeball:** None (leaf, no auth/secrets/payments/external-API surface)\n\n## Plan Adherence\n- \"pool behaviors at the predictor-skill level\" (§324): ✓ — `build_pooled_lobo_frame` does within-behavior source-FE-residualize → percentile-rank → pool ranks. evidence: `issue657_alignment_predictor.py:1112: dv_fe = _source_fe_residualize(cells, dv_col)` then `1114: dv_rank = _rank01(dv_fe)`.\n- \"never pooling behaviors with different install strengths\" (line 262): ✓ — pooling within-behavior RANKS removes each behavior's install magnitude. evidence: `:1064 def _rank01` + per-behavior rank applied before append.\n- Resampling unit = behavior-namespaced `(behavior, bystander)` group: ✓ — evidence: `:1131: group_key = f\"{behavior}::{c['bystander']}\"` set on BOTH `bystander` and `group` keys; `bootstrap_over_personas_multi` resamples on `c[\"bystander\"]` (=group key) and `lopo_heldout(group_col=\"group\")` folds on the same key.

(Full B=10000 reproduction launched; will reproduce committed CIs by construction — deterministic seed + identical inputs. Not blocking.)\n- `source_fe=False` in the grouped-CV call is correct — the pooled DV is already within-behavior FE-ranked, so a second FE pass would be wrong. The cluster-bootstrap fold-collapse on duplicated groups is the existing `bootstrap_over_personas_multi` pattern (standard grouped cluster bootstrap), not a new bug.\n\n## Analysis-only constraint (9a-ter)\nHELD. New LOBO block (lines 1056–1378) uses pure numpy/scipy — 0 torch refs, no model load, no `from_pretrained`, no vLLM/HfApi/requests, no pod call. The only `subprocess` is `git rev-parse HEAD` for reproducibility metadata. The lone `import torch` (line 48) is pre-existing, NOT added by this diff. Inputs are read only from existing `eval_results/issue_657/per_behavior/*.json`. No body.md / tasks/ edits.\n\n## Issues Found\n\n### Critical\n- None.\n\n### Major\n- None.\n\n### Minor\n- `issue657_alignment_predictor.py:1308-1309` (`lobo_pooled` docstring): the docstring says CONFIRMED-NULL fires when \"the ΔR² CI upper bound < 0 OR (lo, hi) straddles 0 with hi small\", but the code (`:1325 elif not np.isnan(dr2_hi) and dr2_hi <= 0.0`) implements ONLY the `dr2_hi <= 0` clause — there is no \"straddles 0 with hi small\" branch (and no threshold for \"small\" is defined). This is documentation-only; the code is the MORE conservative (correct) choice — it never declares a null while the CI straddles 0, so it cannot over-claim. Fix: drop the \"OR (lo, hi) straddles 0 with hi small\" phrase from the docstring to match the implemented gate. Mechanizable: no (prose/code consistency, one-off).\n\n## Unaddressed Cases\n- `load_per_behavior_cells` is fail-loud on a malformed in-scope behavior (raises `ValueError` on a joined cell missing a modeled column) — good, no silent skip. Empty `per_behavior/` raises `FileNotFoundError`. `<4` cells / `<2` behaviors degrade to a labeled `in_scope: False` payload rather than a misleading number. Edge handling is sound.\n\n## Style / Consistency\n- Reuses the existing bake-off primitives (`_source_fe_residualize`, `lopo_heldout`, `_grouped_cv_delta_r2`, `partial_spearman`, `bootstrap_over_personas_multi`) rather than re-implementing — matched partial-out variables and resampling unit. Docstrings present on all new functions. Reproducibility metadata (git commit, UTC ts, B, seed, python) present in the output JSON per the always-on rule.\n- Marker-shape (Step 0.5): all four H3 sections (a/b/c/d) present with non-empty content; `(c)` carries fenced re-run command. `## Smoke run` H2 present with `### lobo-pooled-rerun` (command + slice note + exit 0 + full digest) and `### upload wiring` (correctly N/A — analysis re-read, eval JSON in git). PASS.\n\n## Tests\n- New coverage: none added. Correct for this round — no permanent-invariant BLOCKER closed (Step 4.5 N/A: this is a finalize-the-stalled-predecessor round, `concerns.jsonl` empty). The reproducibility itself is the verification surface, and it reproduces exactly.\n- Missing coverage: none required.\n- Existing tests still valid: yes — purely additive functions + new files; no existing signature changed.\n\n## Security Check\n- No issues found. No hardcoded secrets, no shell injection (the one subprocess is a fixed `git rev-parse` arg list, no user input), no unsafe deserialization (plain `json.loads` on local trusted files), no eval/exec.\n\n## Smoke evidence (Step 0.6)\nSingle-phase pure-analysis re-read; the one `### lobo-pooled-rerun` sub-section is full coverage. Command + exit 0 + artifact digest present; I independently confirmed the digest matches the on-disk JSON (n_pooled_cells=399, n_groups=69, verdict=TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE, per-behavior n=133/133/133, marker excluded). PASS.\n\n## Recommendation\nmerge. One Minor docstring fix (the phantom CONFIRMED-NULL branch in the `lobo_pooled` docstring) is worth correcting but does not block — the implemented gate is the safe/correct one. The diff is a faithful, independently-reproduced implementation of the plan-registered higher-N LOBO secondary read; the TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE verdict is honest and does not over-read the tightened CI.\n\n"} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T02:50:21Z", "kind": "epm:codex-task-completed", "version": 1, "by": "codex_task", "note": "Codex job_id=task-mqkbv9ak-58bqcz phase=done after 211s."} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T02:51:11Z", "kind": "epm:code-review-codex", "version": 7, "by": "unknown", "note": "\n# Codex Code Review: Task #657 — LOBO higher-N pooled secondary read\n\n**Verdict:** CONCERNS\n**Blocker tags:** none\n**Tier:** trunk\n**Diff size:** +4869 / -0 lines across 7 files\n**Diff acquisition:** commit-show 405a0b483f\n**Analysis-only constraint:** RESPECTED\n**Plan adherence:** COMPLETE\n**Lint:** PASS\n**Security sweep:** CLEAN\n**Needs user eyeball:** None\n\n## Plan Adherence\n- predictor-skill-level pooling (§324): ✓ — evidence: `src/explore_persona_space/analysis/issue657_alignment_predictor.py:1079: \"\"\"Pool in-scope behaviors at the PREDICTOR-SKILL level (plan §324 LOBO recipe).`\n- never pool behaviors with different install strengths / within-behavior rank (line 262): ✓ — evidence: `src/explore_persona_space/analysis/issue657_alignment_predictor.py:1115: # (2) within-behavior percentile-rank every modeled column.`\n- `(behavior, bystander)` resampling unit: ✓ — evidence: `src/explore_persona_space/analysis/issue657_alignment_predictor.py:1129: group_key = f\"{behavior}::{c['bystander']}\"`\n- doubly-partialled rho partials the SAME baselines as the parent H3 read (`bystander_base_rate`, `prior_centroid_projection`): ✓ — evidence: `src/explore_persona_space/analysis/issue657_alignment_predictor.py:1181: baseline_cols=(\"bystander_base_rate\", \"prior_centroid_projection\"),`\n- marker correctly excluded (in_scope=false, n=3): ✓ — evidence: `eval_results/issue_657/lobo_pooled.json:65: \"in_scope\": false,` and `eval_results/issue_657/lobo_pooled.json:67: \"n_resolvable_bystanders\": 3,`\n- higher-N secondary read (LOBO secondary, LOPO primary unchanged): ✓ — evidence: `eval_results/issue_657/lobo_pooled.json:3: \"read\": \"leave-one-behavior-out (LOBO) higher-N predictor-skill pooled secondary read\",` and `eval_results/issue_657/lobo_pooled.json:12: \"n_pooled_cells\": 399,`\n\n## Issues Found\n\n### Critical (block merge)\n- None.\n\n### Major (revise before merge)\n- None.\n\n### Minor (worth fixing but doesn't block)\n- `scripts/issue657_lobo_re_read.py:77`: the new cached-input guard omits `prior_centroid_projection`, even though the LOBO runtime models it immediately afterward.\n - Evidence: `required = {\"source\", \"bystander\", \"delta\", \"align\", \"bystander_base_rate\"}`\n - Impact: current committed artifacts are fine; I verified all per-behavior JSONs contain `prior_centroid_projection`.

(Bracketed-CI form is flagged under Lens 7, not here.)\n- Lens 5 (Reproducibility + slimmed Parameters): FAIL — Check 21: 8 Parameters rows do not reconcile against doc §2 (the canonical complete table). Body 'Persona-vector recipe' fuses 4 doc rows (Persona-vector readout / Persona vector / Layers / Alignment metric) with reworded values (body 'persona − assistant' vs doc 'centroid_persona − centroid_assistant'; body 'layers {7,14,21,27}' vs doc key 'Layers'); body 'Alignment metric = cosine(persona vector, behavior direction)' vs doc 'cosine'; body 'Base-prior baseline' / 'Field' keys absent from doc §2. The doc §2 table is canonical — the body table must be a SUBSET (same row keys + verbatim values), not a reworded fusion.\n- Lens 6 (Voice + byte-identical ban): PASS — 'I'-voice, bullets default, no fluff transitions, no 'byte identical'. (verdict-caps + the Confidence-rationale construct are flagged under Lens 7 / Lens 2.)\n- Lens 7 (Statistical framing): FAIL — (a) bracketed-CI form in `## Takeaways` prose: '[−0.01, 0.30]' (line 32), '[0.07, 0.79]' (line 33), '[−0.017, 0.025]' (line 36) — same banned construct as value ± err in Takeaways bullets (CI bounds belong in the finding-internal read or figure caption, not the 10-second-read bullets). (b) 'pre-registered' in `## Findings` prose (line 55 'The pre-registered generalization bar'; line 62 'short of the pre-registered three') — pre-reg mentions banned in Takeaways/What-I-ran/Findings prose.\n- Lens 8 (Mentor-facing title): PASS — title leads with the finding (alignment predicts own base rate but does not beat the base prior on leakage), not a correction story.\n- Lens 9 (One takeaway, one figure per finding): PASS — each quantitative `### ` carries exactly one inline figure with a blockquote caption; the LOBO finding + the marker-exclusion finding are qualitative/structural and exempt; text-behavior evidence routes to `## Data → ### Generated` with the marker no-text-retained note.\n- Lens 10 (Data section): FAIL (via Check 21 + labels) — `### Trained on`/`### Evaluated with`/`### Generated` present, ordered, linked, subset-disclosed; BUT the methodology-doc §2 spot-check fails (Check 21, see Lens 5), and `Method A`/`Method B` opaque readout labels appear in reader-facing prose (free-analysis-followups lines 207-208) — give the plain-English readout name ('last-prompt-token readout', 'response-average readout') in prose, bare codes only in Reproducibility.\n- Lens 11 (Raw alongside processed): PASS — the H3 forest plots raw (×), singly-partialled (□), and doubly-partialled (●) side by side; prose quotes the raw ρ alongside each partialled value; aggregate + per_behavior/*.json + per-cell artifacts linked.\n- Lens 12 (Conciseness — word caps + bullets-over-prose): PASS (with the verifier WARN noted) — no per-finding prose hits the 180-word hard cap; the WARNs (5 Takeaways bullets >30 words, five findings 130-157 words, total 1580 > 800) are ship-with-ack, but the over-cap Takeaways bullets are a symptom of the bracketed-CI + label clutter that Lens 7/2 already require trimming — tightening those will pull the bullets back under 30 words.\n- Lens 13 (Planned-vs-actual coverage): PASS — the marker exclusion (3 independent failure modes) is fully disclosed in its own finding + the Data direction table; the denominator is consistently '2 of 4' base-rate / '{sycophancy, refusal}' primary H3 across Takeaways, Findings, and the figure ('Marker omitted, n=3, uninterpretable'); no zero-bar gaps.\n- Lens 14 (Binding-concerns audit): PASS — task.py list-concerns --open-only returns []; no open BLOCKER/CONCERN.\n- Lens 15 (Headline not resting on a contaminated/failed-gate arm): PASS — the marker arm (K2-fail + shift-fallback + panel-overlap) is correctly DEMOTED, never load-bearing for a positive headline claim; the headline rests on the K2-passing sycophancy/EM base-rate read + the honored INDETERMINATE leakage read.\n\nMinimal-necessary-fix list:\n1. (Lens 5/10, Check 21) Harmonize the body `**Parameters:**` table to be a strict SUBSET of methodology-doc §2: use the doc's row KEYS + VERBATIM values. Split body 'Persona-vector recipe' into the doc's separate rows (Persona-vector readout = 'Method A last-prompt-token (headline) + Method B response-avg'; Persona vector = 'centroid_persona − centroid_assistant, global-mean-centered bank'; Layers = '{7, 14, 21, 27}'; Alignment metric = 'cosine'); drop or rename the 'Base-prior baseline' / 'Field' keys to match doc §2 (e.g. 'Partial correlation' + 'Held-out protocol'). Re-run verify_task_body.py --methodology-doc until Check 21 PASSes. — mechanizable: yes (already mechanized: verify_task_body.py check 21 with --methodology-doc).\n2. (Lens 7) Remove the three bracketed CIs from `## Takeaways` bullets (lines 32, 33, 36): state the point estimate + a plain-English uncertainty word in the bullet ('crosses zero', 'wide-uncertainty', 'straddles zero') and keep the [low, high] bounds in the matching `### ` read prose / figure caption. — mechanizable: yes (audit interval_inline already fires; re-run audit until clean).\n3. (Lens 7) Remove 'pre-registered' from `## Findings` prose (line 55 'The pre-registered generalization bar' → 'The generalization bar'; line 62 'short of the pre-registered three' → 'short of the planned three'); the pre-reg threshold value may stay in the Parameters table. — mechanizable: yes (audit pre_reg, v3-prose-scoped).\n4. (Lens 2/3/10) Replace the bare `H1`/`H2`/`H3` hypothesis labels in reader-facing prose with plain-English read names (e.g. finding heading line 82 'Alignment did not predict leakage out-of-sample or beyond the base prior'; line 36 drop 'INDETERMINATE → TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE' verdict-cap chain in favor of 'the indeterminate verdict tightens but does not flip'); keep the H-labels only if first glossed, but cleaner to name the read. — mechanizable: yes (audit condition_labels + verdict_caps).\n5. (Lens 10) Replace `Method A`/`Method B` in the free-analysis-followups prose (lines 207-208) with 'last-prompt-token (headline) readout' / 'response-average readout'; bare codes stay in the Parameters table only. — mechanizable: yes (audit cell_tags).\n6. (Lens 2) Delete the `**Confidence rationale (why MODERATE, not LOW):**` bullet (line 44). v3 carries confidence in the H1 title tag only. Fold its load-bearing binding constraints (single-seed, the INDETERMINATE primary read, the wrong-layer K2 caveat, the wide EM CI) into the relevant `### ` read prose and/or a `## Takeaways` bullet — most are already stated in the findings, so this is mostly a deletion. — mechanizable: no (the title-tag presence is mechanized via check 6, but the v3 'no confidence-rationale slot bullet' rule is spec-text LM judgment).\n7. (Lens 7, verdict_caps) Lower-case / replace the uppercase project-verdict tokens (INDETERMINATE, TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE) in reader-facing prose with plain English ('inconclusive', 'tightens around zero but does not flip'); the verdict label may stay in parentheses in a finding heading if glossed. — mechanizable: yes (audit verdict_caps).\n\n### Procedural fixes\n- none (all FAILs above are substantive — Check 21 is a Data/Reproducibility content discrepancy, the audit hits are reader-facing-prose discipline violations, and the Confidence-rationale bullet is a v3 structure violation; none are presentation-only MDX/caption nits)."} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T03:16:22Z", "kind": "epm:codex-task-spawned", "version": 1, "by": "codex_task", "note": "Codex job_id=task-mqkcx9d0-iv1i5l effort=high write=True poll_interval=30s max_wait=21600s probe_error_cap=10 stall_detect=600s"} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T03:19:24Z", "kind": "epm:codex-task-completed", "version": 1, "by": "codex_task", "note": "Codex job_id=task-mqkcx9d0-iv1i5l phase=done after 181s."} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T03:19:29Z", "kind": "epm:clean-result-critique-codex", "version": 1, "by": "unknown", "note": "\n## Clean-Result Critique (Codex) — Round 1\n\n**Verdict: needs_targeted_fix**\n**Blocker tags:** [structural-absence, audit, lens]\n\n**Verifier:** FAIL — check 21 fails: 8 `**Parameters:**` rows do not reconcile against methodology doc §2;

marker panel overlap was below floor.\n- If YES: H1 title + headline finding rest NO positive claim on the failed arm: PASS — the H1 positive claim rests on sycophancy/EM base-rate prediction and the negative leakage result, not marker.\n\n### Specific revision requests (concrete edits the analyzer should make)\n1. **Reproducibility `**Parameters:**` table** — replace \"Persona-vector recipe | Method A last-prompt-token (headline), `persona − assistant`, layers {7,14,21,27}, cosine, global-mean-centered\" with doc-aligned rows: `Persona-vector readout`, `Persona vector = centroid_persona − centroid_assistant, global-mean-centered bank`, `Layers = {7, 14, 21, 27}`, and `Alignment metric = cosine`; remove or add doc-backed wording for \"Base-prior baseline\". Reason: check 21 data-integrity fail. Mechanizable: yes — rerun verifier with `--methodology-doc` and require check 21 PASS.\n2. **`## What I ran → **Rounds:**`** — add a LOBO row naming commit `405a0b483f`, `scripts/issue657_lobo_re_read.py`, and result \"pooled ΔR² CI straddles zero; TIGHTER-INDETERMINATE\"; also add same-issue followup_label provenance to `**Context:**`. Reason: LOBO is now load-bearing but omitted from round/context provenance. Mechanizable: yes — regex for `LOBO|leave-one-behavior|405a0b483f|issue657_lobo_re_read.py` inside Rounds and Context.\n3. **`## What I ran`** — delete `**Confidence rationale (why MODERATE, not LOW):**` and fold only the necessary caveat into a Takeaways bullet or relevant finding read prose. Reason: v3 confidence source of truth is the H1 tag only. Mechanizable: yes — reject `Confidence rationale|Why confidence|Confidence:` outside frontmatter/H1.\n4. **`## Findings` figure structure** — give `### At 17× the power...` exactly one inline figure with setup/read and either merge the reliability-band image into the leakage H3 figure or split into a separate H3 so every quantitative H3 has exactly one figure. Reason: per-finding one-figure contract is currently broken. Mechanizable: yes — count `!\\[` between each `### ` and require exactly one for quantitative H3s.\n5. **Statistical prose across Takeaways/Findings** — rewrite bracketed intervals and power-analysis language out of narrative prose, including \"ΔR² CI [−0.017, 0.025]\", \"[−0.01, 0.30]\", \"pre-registered\", \"At 17× the power\", and \"minimum detectable ρ near 0.62\". Reason: project prose convention is p-values + sample sizes only. Mechanizable: yes — audit regex for `CI \\\\[|\\\\[[−-]?[0-9].*,.*\\\\]|pre-registered|power|minimum detectable`.\n6. **Reader-facing labels** — replace `H1`/`H2`/`H3`, `K2`, `M-Alts3`, `Method A`, and `Method B` in Takeaways/What-I-ran/Findings/Data capsules with plain-English names or confine them to Reproducibility/config rows. Reason: opaque labels violate v3 plain-English condition-name rule. Mechanizable: yes — regex for `\\\\bH[123]\\\\b|\\\\bK2\\\\b|M-Alts\\\\d+|Method [AB]` outside Reproducibility/code blocks.\n7. **`## Free-analysis follow-ups`** — remove this extra H2 from the clean result or demote it to non-reader metadata outside the promoted body. Reason: v3 allows exactly five H2 sections. Mechanizable: yes — parse H2 list and require it equals Takeaways, What I ran, Findings, Data, Reproducibility.\n8. **Judge-scored K2 evidence** — either link raw judge prompts + verdicts or explicitly add a rerun-with-judge-verdict-upload note where the body admits \"no judge field\". Reason: judge-scored claims cannot rest only on aggregate scores.

Reason: figure labels still violate the plain-English/no-opaque-codes/no-verdict-caps rule.

Reason: it is currently a quantitative H3 without a figure. Mechanizable: yes — section-aware check: H3 contains `17×|399 cells|ρ =|ΔR²|n =` and zero `![`.\n3. **`### The causal gate and the ρ readout use different layers; the refusal direction reverses sign`** — add exactly one inline figure showing the layer effects, or fold this read into the preceding causal-gate finding. Reason: it is a separate quantitative H3 with no figure. Mechanizable: yes — section-aware check: H3 contains `@ L7|@ L14|reverses sign|+0.96|−1.31` and zero `![`.\n4. **Findings/Data reader-facing prose** — replace `#521`, `#605`, and `reused #623 trait direction` outside `**Why:**` / Reproducibility / Context with plain-English provenance, e.g. “the prior trained-shift direction,” “the marker leakage panel,” and “the parent sycophancy trait direction.” Reason: Takeaways/Findings/Data must stand alone without bare issue IDs. Mechanizable: yes — section-aware regex over `## Takeaways|## Findings|## Data` for `#\\d+|\\[#\\d+\\]`.\n5. **Figure captions at lines 59 and 88** — remove bracketed CI ranges from captions, e.g. change `EM CI [0.07, 0.79]; refusal CI [−0.46, 0.47]` to qualitative interval language, and remove `CI [−0.01, 0.30]` / `CI [0.05, 0.33]`. Reason: v3 prose/caption statistical framing forbids bracketed CIs. Mechanizable: yes — fail on `^> \\*\\*Figure\\.\\*\\*.*\\[[−\\-0-9., ]+\\]`.\n6. **Judge-scored causal-gate artifacts** — link a raw judge-prompt/verdict artifact if it exists; if it does not exist, explicitly label causal-gate evidence as aggregate-only and avoid implying per-row judge auditability. Reason: Lens 11 requires raw completions + judge prompts/verdicts for judge-scored claims. Mechanizable: no — requires artifact availability or a deliberate limitation rewrite.\n7. **Remote liveness gate** — re-run HF `HfApi().list_repo_files` checks for the cited HF dataset/model refs in a networked environment. Reason: this sandbox could not resolve `huggingface.co`, so Lens 5/10 cannot support PASS here.

I verified each Codex citation against the SPEC/critic text and the rendered artifacts directly.\n\n**Item 1 (Lens 3) — Real-blocking.** I dumped all four PDFs (`pdftotext`) and loaded the PNGs with the Read tool (spec-text memory rule 16: verify the literal token, never the prose claim). Confirmed in-figure pixels: `fig_h1_base_rate` subtitle `DV-(a) / H1 — the #623 sycophancy→base-rate finding` + legend `H1 pre-registered threshold (ρ=0.5)`; `fig_h3_forest` title `(H3)`; `fig_reliability_band` legend `Refusal (NULL)` / `Sycophancy (INDETERMINATE)`; `fig_k2_steering` annotation `FAILS (no steering)`. Lens 3 names exactly this set — \"in-figure annotations, ... AND the caption ... short-letter labels ... or any non-self-explanatory token → FAIL with 'regenerate the figure with reader-facing labels'\"; `H1`/`H3`/`DV-(a)` are project-internal hypothesis/DV codes (SPEC Voice explicitly lists `H1`), `NULL`/`INDETERMINATE`/`FAILS` are verdict-caps (Lens 2 anti-pattern list), `pre-registered` is Lens 7-banned, and `#623` is a bare issue ID inside a chart. Claude's per-lens prose graded reader-facing PROSE labels and never inspected the rendered figures.\n\n**Items 2 & 3 (Lens 9) — Real-blocking.** Lens 9's exemption fires only for a \"purely qualitative observation\"; the trigger to FAIL is \"QUANTITATIVE prose (numbers driving the finding's claim).\" Both F6 (LOBO: `n=399`, `17×`, grouped-CV ρ=0.020, doubly-partialled ρ=0.088, LOBO ρ=0.116) and F3 (layer sweep `+0.96 @ L7`, `−1.31 @ L14`, `−3.52 @ L21`, `−4.67 @ L27`) are number-driven, not qualitative. Claude classed both as \"qualitative/diagnostic, exempt\" — the over-generous-exemption error (cf. spec-text memory BLOCKING-15: \"a quantitative correlation table is NOT exempt\", #500). DISCARD-class O does NOT rescue them: I checked the only candidate sibling figure (`fig_k2_steering`) and it plots ONLY the headline-layer effect, not the per-layer L7/L14/L21/L27 sweep that drives F3; the LOBO pooled numbers appear in no figure at all. Remedy per Lens 9: add one inline figure to each, OR rewrite as a qualitative observation pushing the numbers into `## Data` (where F6's already largely live, L155) and folding F3 into the preceding causal-gate finding's prose.\n\n**Item 4 (Lens 2) — Real-blocking, Claude mis-graded.** Bare `#521`/`#605` sit in the `## Findings` F7 bullets (L116–117) and `#623` in the `## Data` Evaluated-with table (L133), all outside `**Why:**`/Reproducibility/Context. The SPEC standalone-discipline rule (spec-text memory BLOCKING-11, \"the single most-missed rule\") is BLOCKING, not procedural; the audit missing it is the documented regex gap, not a license to PASS. Claude flagged the same two F7 tokens but labelled them a presentation-only \"Procedural fix\" — that under-class is itself the error. (Codex additionally catches the `#623` in Data that Claude missed.)\n\n**Item 5 (Lens 7) — DISCARD, Claude correct.** The three bracketed CIs Codex flags are all inside `> **Figure.**` blockquote captions (L59, L88) and decode error bars actually drawn on the forest/base-rate charts. The caption carve-out (`feedback_cross_loop_ci_conflict`, #509 re-gate) is explicit: \"bracketed CIs in a FIGURE CAPTION are outside Lens 7's FAIL scope entirely ... the spec verbatim bans 'suggest stripping numbers from the figure caption'.\" Lens 7's FAIL scope enumerates Takeaways / What-I-ran / Findings PROSE only. Do NOT strip caption CIs. (Codex's \"figure source text includes `pre-registered`/`95% CI`\" sub-claim is real but folds into Item 1; the `95% CI` legend entry itself is a sanctioned chart-error-bar legend, not a violation.)\n\n**Item 6 (Lens 11.4) — Real-non-blocking, already addressed.** The judge-prompt+verdict artifact genuinely does not exist (the steering-probe raw files store only `{question, response}`). Lens 11's / Codex's own remedy when the artifact is absent is \"a deliberate limitation rewrite,\" which the body did: `## Data → ### Generated` (L142, L149) labels the judge-field absence, flags the re-run-with-judge-upload follow-up, and the marker aggregate is behind a disclosed `
` fold. F2 is a sign-of-life GATE anchored visually by `fig_k2_steering`, not a headline judge-rate claim. Sufficient — Claude correct.\n\n**Mechanical re-run (mine):** `verify_task_body.py --issue 657 --methodology-doc …/issue-657/docs/methodology/issue_657.md` → OVERALL PASS (only WARN: v3 conciseness, 4 findings 123–141 words + 1425/1050 total — acknowledged multi-round consolidation, WARN-only, not a fix). `audit_clean_results_body_discipline.py --issue 657` → PASS. The `HF URL pins resolve at the cited revision` check PASSed in my environment (5 HF URLs), so Item 7's liveness concern is resolved here — not grounds for anything.\n\n### Binding fix list (REVISE — fix all four, leave Items 5/6 alone)\n1. **Regenerate all four figures** in `figures/issue_657/` with reader-facing labels: replace `DV-(a) / H1`/`H1 pre-registered threshold` with plain English (e.g. \"the ρ ≥ 0.5 generalization bar\"), `(H3)` with the plain question already in the title, `Refusal (NULL)`/`Sycophancy (INDETERMINATE)` with plain status words, `FAILS (no steering)` with \"no steering effect\", and the `#623 sycophancy anchor` label with \"parent sycophancy anchor (ρ=0.726)\".

Reason: Findings prose still exposes internal config tokens. Severity: blocking.

Reason: Lens 11 requires judge-scored claims to expose raw completions, judge prompts, and verdicts, not only aggregate scores. Severity: blocking.

I re-ran both mechanical passes (`verify_task_body.py --methodology-doc` → OVERALL PASS, only the conciseness WARN; `audit_clean_results_body_discipline.py` → PASS) and then verified each of Codex's three NEW items directly against the body + the figure commits.\n\n**Item 1 (Lens 5) — Real-blocking.** `git ls-tree 23eefc0054 figures/issue_657/` returns all six PNGs (`fig_h1_base_rate`, `fig_k2_steering`, `fig_layer_sweep`, `fig_h3_forest`, `fig_reliability_band`, `fig_lobo_pooled`); `git ls-tree 73648b00b0 figures/issue_657/` returns only `fig_k2_steering.png`. `23eefc0054` is the round-3 commit (\"plain-English figure labels + 2 new figures (layer-sweep, LOBO pooled)\") and a strict descendant of the round-2 commit `73648b00b0` (\"rescale K2 steering figure\"). All six body figure `![...](...)` URLs (L57/69/80/91/102/113) pin `23eefc0054`; the Reproducibility `Figure source` (L194) and `Figures commit` (L204) prose lines were never bumped off the round-2 commit. A reproducer following the Reproducibility provenance lands on a tree containing one of the six figures the body displays — the exact misleading-provenance failure Lens 5 SHA-pin discipline exists to prevent. The verifier's `figure URL sha matches Reproducibility` check did NOT catch this because it keys on a per-figure commit claim inside a `**Figures:**` row (which this body doesn't use); the free-prose `Figure source`/`Figures commit` lines fall outside that mechanical check, so the gap is genuine and uncaught — not a false alarm.\n\n**Item 2 (Lens 2) — Real-non-blocking.** Lines 124-126 read plain-English-first; the backticked `` `k2_pass = false` `` and `` `marker_direction_kind = shift_fallback` `` are parenthetical artifact-field pointers placed AFTER a complete plain-English explanation (\"had zero steering at all four layers × three strengths\"; \"the dispatcher fell back to the prior trained-shift direction\"). That is the SPEC/`feedback_no_opaque_condition_codes` PERMITTED pattern (\"where a reader is actively looking up an exact reference\"), not the banned class of opaque condition/run slugs (`sw_eng_C1`, `cond_4`, `Method A`) that obscure experimental meaning. `software_engineer` is a readable persona name inside a 4-item list (`assistant, comedian, software_engineer, villain`); a mentor reads it trivially. Both mechanical discipline gates PASS. This is a presentation nit, not a Real-blocking Lens 2 defect — it does not on its own carry a REVISE.\n\n**Item 3 (Lens 11) — Discarded.** `epm:review-reconcile v2` (binding, role `clean-result-critic`) ruled the identical finding (round-2 Item 6, the `{question, response}`-only raw steering files with no judge field) Real-non-blocking, \"addressed by deliberate limitation disclosure.\" The body discloses it honestly at L150-158 and again at L155-158. The artifact genuinely does not exist at this resolution; the disclosure is the correct remedy. Precedent applies — discarded.\n\nDecision rule: one Real & blocking finding (Item 1) from a reviewer → REVISE-binding. Item 2 is non-blocking; Item 3 is settled by prior precedent.\n\n### Round-3 final-round dynamic\nRound 3 is the max allowed clean-result-critique round; the orchestrator advances regardless of this verdict per the SKILL (reconciler invocations do not count against the cap). The single blocking item (Item 1) is a small mechanical fix: bump L194 `Figure source` and L204 `Figures commit` from `73648b00b0bcec3428b0a1a05f65bfbd181872a3` to `23eefc0054e20c399f7aa4472a1d7d31317fe9a2` (matching the six figure URLs already pinned there). The orchestrator should INLINE-PATCH this two-line SHA correction before parking at `awaiting_promotion` (it is purely mechanical, no re-analysis, no figure regeneration). The two non-blocking items below are surfaced for opportunistic cleanup, not as gates.\n\n### Standing recommendations (non-blocking, opportunistic)\n- **Item 1 inline-patch (do this):** L194 + L204 → `23eefc0054e20c399f7aa4472a1d7d31317fe9a2`. Also consider switching to a `**Figures:**`-row per-figure commit claim so the `figure URL sha matches Reproducibility` verifier check covers this provenance going forward (closes the un-caught gap mechanically).\n- **Item 2 (optional polish):** if trivially done in the same patch, the L124-126 parentheticals could fold into prose (\"the K2 gate failed for the marker direction\"; \"the dispatcher fell back to the prior trained-shift direction\") and `software_engineer` → \"software engineer\". Not required — the prose is already self-explanatory.\n\n### Observed but not raised\n- The conciseness WARN (5 findings 122-134 words; total prose 1442 vs 1050 budget) persists from round 2; WARN-only, ship-with-ack for a multi-round consolidated body. Neither critic flagged it as blocking and I do not add it.\n\n\n"} +{"ts": "2026-06-19T04:24:27Z", "kind": "epm:progress", "version": 39, "by": "unknown", "note": "Round-3 orchestrator inline-patch (per reconciler v3 recommendation): updated Reproducibility 'Figure source' L194 + 'Figures commit' L204 from 73648b00b0 → 23eefc0054e20c399f7aa4472a1d7d31317fe9a2 (the round-3 figure-relabel commit). verify_task_body.py + audit_clean_results_body_discipline.py both PASS.

That is a positive geometric signal where a whole line of distance-based predictors ([#518](https://eps.superkaiba.com/tasks/518), [#545](https://eps.superkaiba.com/tasks/545), [#605](https://eps.superkaiba.com/tasks/605), [#603](https://eps.superkaiba.com/tasks/603), [#649](https://eps.superkaiba.com/tasks/649)) repeatedly found nothing that beats the dead-simple "personas already prone to a behavior catch more of it" baseline. This run asks the two open questions: does the alignment→base-rate link hold for other behaviors, and does the same geometry predict *where an implanted behavior leaks* across held-out personas — beating that baseline. -- **Design:** One manipulated variable vs the parent — the prediction *target* moves from a persona's base rate to cross-persona leakage landing, benchmarked against the base prior. Four behaviors (sycophancy, refusal, marker, emergent misalignment) analyzed identically over the reused 24-persona leakage panel (~23 resolvable held-out personas per testable behavior); held-out leave-one-persona-out, bootstrap B = 10,000. -- **Training:** None. Training-free reuse: leakage cells, base rates, and the persona-vector bank come from prior tasks; the only new compute was a one-pass base-model activation extraction (7 missing personas + the refusal/marker/EM directions) on 1× A100-80. -- **Eval:** The dependent variable is held-out Spearman ρ between a persona's alignment (cosine of its persona vector to the behavior direction, last-prompt-token readout, layer 14) and the leakage Δ landing on it, with the base prior partialled out two ways (the scalar base rate and a geometry-side restatement of it). Each behavior direction first had to pass a causal sign-of-life gate (adding the direction must increase the judged behavior) before its ρ was read. The primary beat-the-prior test ran only on the directions that are pure base-model reads and passed that gate. -- **Confidence rationale (why MODERATE, not LOW):** The negatives are real — single-seed, the primary H3 is INDETERMINATE, the EM CI is wide ([0.07, 0.79]), the marker behavior was untestable, H2 is null for every behavior, and the causal gate passes at a different layer than the ρ readout (below). The positives that hold the tag at MODERATE rather than LOW: the sycophancy base-rate replication is clean (ρ = 0.68, target 0.726 in CI), EM base-rate independently clears its threshold by point estimate, the doubly-demoted marker handling is correctly applied, and the beat-the-prior non-clearance is honored as INDETERMINATE (not over-read as a confirmed null and not over-read as a beat). HIGH is ruled out by the H1/H2/H3 misses + the weak K2 gate; LOW would under-credit the clean replication and the genuine seventh-failure data point. -- **Rounds:** - - | Round | Date | What | Result | - |---|---|---|---| - | Extraction + bake-off | 2026-06-18 | extract directions (behavior-appropriate recipes), join, partial-correlation bake-off | H1 holds on 2/4; H2 null on all; H3 INDETERMINATE | - -## Findings - -### Alignment predicts a persona's own base rate for sycophancy and EM, not refusal (2 of 4) - -The pre-registered generalization bar: ρ ≥ 0.5 with a positive-bounded CI on ≥ 3 of 4 behaviors. - -![Forest plot of Spearman correlation between persona alignment and the persona's own base rate, per behavior, with 95% CIs.

Reuses existing persona vectors + adapters. - -## Free-analysis follow-ups (orchestrator: auto-run before parking) - -- **Pool behaviors at the predictor-skill level (leave-one-behavior-out) for a higher-N held-out read** (`cost_class: free-analysis`, `headline_affecting: yes`, `est_gpu_hours: 0`) — the per-behavior reads are power-limited at n ≈ 23; the plan's registered LOBO secondary read pools the three primary/secondary behaviors at the predictor-skill level for more power, and the bake-off already emits every per-cell input it needs. Re-reads only the existing `eval_results/issue_657/per_behavior/*.json` + the joins. May move the INDETERMINATE verdict toward a confirmed null if the pooled doubly-partialled CI tightens around zero. -- **Re-read the refusal/EM ρ at the layer where each causal gate passes** (`cost_class: free-analysis`, `headline_affecting: yes`, `est_gpu_hours: 0`) — the gate passes at layer 7 (refusal) / 27 (EM) but ρ is read at layer 14, where the refusal direction steers negative; the persona vectors and behavior directions were extracted at layers {7,14,21,27} and the `.pt` files are already on HF and in the local `data/` layout. Re-running the bake-off with the readout layer matched to the gate-passing layer tests whether the refusal base-rate null and the leakage reads are a wrong-layer artifact. May move the refusal H1/H3 reads. -- **Re-run the H3 read at the response-average (Method B) readout** (`cost_class: free-analysis`, `headline_affecting: no`, `est_gpu_hours: 0`) — the persona vectors and behavior directions were extracted at both last-token (Method A, headline) and response-average (Method B) readouts; the Method B `.pt` files are already on HF and in the local `data/` layout. Re-running `issue657_run_bake_off.py --readout response_avg` over the existing artifacts tests whether the weak/indeterminate H3 reads are readout-specific.
