{ "notes": "EPISODE 6. Woken by requester note 6 before anything new settled. At entry 86 of 400 items used, nothing refused, no item failed in any batch. Round 4 (episode 5's 7 batches, 44 items) had not started: every item waiting, r4-ib-wide 5 released and 15 held behind its canary. 22 items of rounds 1-3 still ran. goal.json cuts briefs to 501 characters: write each anew from these notes.\n\nNOTE 6 (follow it). IB (inputs-b, code sha256 301941829a44bb60977bb28181a5e4bfa6544f3696763f987054789b2611d686) is on the board: 522.0013, 20th (was 27th), +1.95 over RS2 against about +2.0 local: transfer holds. Board: 19th 522.05, 14th 522.40, 11th 523.82, 10th 524.66 = +2.66 over IB. From now every candidate is measured against IB as well as HA; the requester submits a file confirmed >= +0.3 over IB on 2,048 fresh seeds.

Mean edges there: T 524.9728, HA 526.0897, IB 526.7418, so IB minus T = 1.7690 and HA minus T = 1.1168 (FA's port and IB's port give the same HA minus T to every digit: one scale); FA minus T = 1.6811. Hence over IB = over T - 1.7690 = over HA - 0.652 = over FA - 0.088 = over IA - 0.287. FA is 0.088 under IB. Expected board score = 522.00 + gain over IB: +0.05 is 19th, +0.40 14th, +1.82 11th, +2.66 10th. Machines run 300-900 markets/s; about one in ten is fast (IB's ran 6,000).\n\nDECIDED (23 new items; 109 of 400 used after this). Round 4 already holds note 6's three lines (25 IB continuations, 5 FA continuations, 4 unions from IB); I added what it lacked.\n- resume r4-ib-wide: its 15 held items run now (same brief as r4-ib-continue; hours off the path).\n- r5-pair (p-a real 7800000..7801023, p-b 7810000..7811023): FA, IB and HA on the same seeds, no search. Fields fa_vs_ib, fa_vs_ha, ib_vs_ha (each with sum, sumsq), diffs_fa_minus_ib, diffs_ib_minus_ha, gas per arm.\n- r5-fa-wide (g01..g15, merged in groups of 5, canary g01..g05): CMA from FA's `params.float` on FA's port, at least 45 minutes and as long as time allows, step under sigma0 x 0.5^(minutes/30), markets a generation doubled at 2,000 markets/s or more; real arms candidate, IB, HA; holdout over_T, over_FA, over_IB. Settings (population / markets / sigma0): A 16/512/0.05, B 16/1024/0.05, C 32/512/0.05, D 16/512/0.03, E 32/1024/0.08; g01..g15 = A B C D E A B C A D A B C E A; ES seeds 501..515. Under 200 markets/s: FA, IB, HA on the real block. Each merge gives `rows` (with result_sha256), `weights`, `best` (params, code_zb64, code_sha256).\n- r5-ib-union-x (v1..v6, merged in groups of 3; v6 held behind the canary): UN = IB's 19 inputs + FA's T_bid_fee, T_ask_fee, (spot-pHat)/pHat, retail_flow_rate (23-8-2, 210 weights, new columns 0), gates on IB, gas probe (over 243,000: drop the costliest new input), at least 35 minutes, real arms UN, IB, HA; sigma0 0.05 0.05 0.08 0.05 0.03 0.08, ES seeds 521..526. Each merge's `best` carries code_zb64 and port_zb64. Twelve tries at the union with r4-ib-union and r3-fa-union: the line I expect to win.\n- Not spawned: more IB copies (25 wait), and a learned-memory line (two values the head writes and reads back at the next trade): a new storage slot costs about 22,000 gas at first write against IB's 10,000 of headroom, so it needs IB on the diet (kit-c, waiting).\nSEEDS. Real: g(i) 7820000 + 4000*i, i = 0..14 (first 512, up to 1,024 on a slow machine); v(i) 7880000 + 4000*i, i = 0..5, probe at +2000..+2015; last used 7902015.

Gate B references: FA real 7004000..7004511 +1.650 over T; IB real 7132768..7133279 +1.749 over T.\n\nBRIEF RULES that have held: at most 3,000 characters filled (measure by script); never the words verbatim, byte for byte, word for word, output, print, paste, exactly; ask for named result fields; items see the goal text; a batch of five or fewer is never held; wake.batches <= 10, read <= 30, notes <= 8,000 (these ran over twice: measure).\n\nNEXT EPISODE (7)\n1. If woken early by a note while items run, respawn nothing that runs; do what the note asks and keep the wake. If a spawn or the resume was refused, mend and resend it first. If a wide batch paused on its canary, read `failures`: resume it, or mend the brief and rerun with itemsFrom both.\n2. Pool confirmations from sum and sumsq (never an average of two se): IB minus HA over r4-confirm ib-a, ib-b and r5-pair p-a, p-b (4,096 seeds); FA minus HA over fa-a, fa-b, p-a, p-b; FA minus IB over p-a, p-b. Gas on every seed: 0 OOG, afterSwap peak <= 245,000.\n3. Rank every valid candidate on holdout over IB with the conversions above. Drop any failed gate, OOG, peak over 245,000 or replica-real gap over 0.15. The best is base B5; its artifact id is the sha256 of its result file (`rows[].result_sha256` in a merge): fetch it and see that it holds code, port and params. Read which line and which CMA settings won.\n4. Round 5, about 90 items (291 left for episodes 7, 8, 9), all from B5 by URL, real arms candidate, IB, HA: (a) two confirm items of 1,024 fresh seeds for B5 against IB and HA; at >= +0.3 over IB on the pooled 2,048 it is the file for the requester: give its complete code and sha256; (b) the wide continuation of B5, 40 or more items in merged groups of 5, on the settings that won; (c) SOUP, 3 items: average the frozen weights of valid continuations that share a start (all, and the better half by holdout), then monitor, freeze, holdout, real; (d) lines that each helped, joined: union inputs + moved constants + best weights, new weights 0; (e) if kit-c delivered IB on the diet: the winner on the diet, and 4 items of the learned-memory line there; (f) if the union won, more inputs on top of it (r2-inputs2 says which).\n5. Reads asked (30): r4-ib-wide merge-01..04, r5-fa-wide merge-01..03, r5-ib-union-x merge-01, 02, r4-confirm's four, r5-pair's two, r4-ib-union u1..u4, r4-ib-continue c1..c5, kit-c, r4-ib-joint j1, j2, j4, r4-fa-continue f1, f2. Small batches' accepted items have arrived unasked so far; askable: j3, j5, f3..f5, fu-b, fu-c, round 2's.\n6. Episodes 7, 8 and 9 are rounds and 10 finishes (each requester note spends one, so keep rounds wide). Episode 9's round must hold the 2,048-seed confirmation of episode 8's winner against IB and HA.
