 "notes": "EP5: woke on requester note 4 (J5 is the best file; every continuation joint from now on; J5 main baton, IG second). Handed 5 results, none trained: ic-long/ic-s30-h40-p32 and slope/slope-c15-p16 blocked at SETUP on macOS arm64 seats (the simulator wheel is Linux x86_64 only); scale/u16-single-a stopped by the old speed rule on a 2-CPU seat (130 markets/s; 16-unit IA on the diet probed at afterSwap 132,923, 0 OOG); kit-ib-a and kit-ib-b completed. Of 11 results so far: 7 stopped by the old speed rule (2-CPU Linux seats at 124..172 markets/s, or the kit's slower port), 2 on Macs, 2 kit items done. No weights of ours have moved yet; EP4's 27 items had not started at this snapshot.\n\nLEARNED.\n- kit-ib (both items agree): IBD = IB on the gas diet has exactly IB's edge on real seeds 0..99 and on 512 fresh seeds (max difference 0.0); afterSwap peak 131,239 / 131,559 against IB's 237,021; a 16-unit probe 132,040 / 132,328, 0 OOG; gates A, B, C pass; kit speed 381 and 226 markets/s on 8 processes. kit-ib-a = b0acc9f9d841959bb584d2f698d368d1278316151fe604c01bde486e5cd332bb, kit-ib-b = 8c09856cacb7e59adec8a8ad1a5efbdc3c5e1c2974279e1e37d7c46b4db0878f, both served at https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/<id> (fetched, hashes equal). The diet works: doubling the head costs about 1,000 gas. IB's own line is about 0.6 behind J5, so widening IB is parked.\n- J5 = fe2320b5c091489337b3eb06bcbaea19bf4a8af09d959d67504ba63184f1dab6 (fetched; plain fields read, nothing unpacked or run): keys code_zb64, code_sha256 dd53db1f..., params (W1, b1, W2, b2; `constants`: 41 names, each [IA's value, J5's value]; constants_x), search.settings, notes; NO port_zb64 and no sources. It ran IA's port (b29cd2a0..., `port_zb64` of IA's file df0ddfdf... and of IG's) with the anchor literals and TH turned into arguments. Search: pycma, 219 numbers, population 16, 512 markets a generation, sigma0 1 in z capped at 0.5^(minutes/30), monitor every 5 minutes, 1,496 generations in 40.8 minutes at 5,264 markets/s on 32 processes; monitor still rising (+0.026 in the last 5 minutes). Real on 7672000..7672511: +0.876 se 0.035 over IA, +1.219 over HA (retail -0.08, arb +0.96 against IA); holdout 40000000..+8191 +0.826 over IA. afterSwap peak 237,419, 0 OOG. Never yet paired with IB: about +0.6 by IA's distance.\n- A leg's result must carry what J5 lacks (port_zb64) so a child can be a START as it is.\n\nDECIDED (28 items; 95 of 200 used at most).\nCancelled ig-a, ig-b, ig-c, ib-re, fa-re (head-only legs; note 4, later than note 3's rerun request, makes every continuation joint), slope-ig, wide-ig (head-only variants from IG), and ib-long and scale (to release 3 held items each; a cancelled batch's running items still finish and their results still arrive, as ib-r1's did). Left confirm-ig, confirm-ic, ic-long, slope, fa-long alone. If the EP4 items had already started, their results will exist: ask for them in `read` by name only if wanted.\nj5-a, j5-b, j5-c, j5-d (5 each, batches of 5 so no canary holds): one joint leg from J5 each. Keys jNN-sSS-hHH-pPP: sigma0 0.SS in z (s03 = 0.3 .. s07 = 0.7), cap halving every HH minutes, population PP. The brief in goal.json under j5-a is the joint TEMPLATE.\nig-joint (5: gjNN-...): the same from IG's head with IA's constants (sigma0 1.0 or 0.7, as J5 started), the second line.\nj5-diet (3: j5d-a, j5d-b, j5d-c): kit work, no search: KIT-B made to carry J5's 41 constants, J5D.sol = J5 on the diet proven equal to J5 per seed (real seeds 0..99 and 512 fresh), gas of a 16-unit expansion, the kit's `train` extended to the joint search, kit speed at 8 and 16 units; J5 paired with IB on its fresh seeds.\nEvery leg: note 3's sentence word for word; M = 512 at S >= 300, else 256; search until 30 minutes before the item's time ends; monitor = ES mean every 5 search minutes on 30000000..30002047; holdout 41010000..41018191 (the same seeds as every earlier leg, so all lines compare; frozen, START and IB); real = IB, START and frozen on 512 fresh seeds with sum, sumsq and by_quartile; under 100 markets/s IB and START on 1,024 real seeds instead; a machine that cannot install the wheel does everything but the real engine (real = null).\nNo slope batch this round: the joint search already moves LAMBDA_COEF, FLOW_SIZE_COEF and the anchor's k (note 2a's constants; J5 barely moved them: 0.0012 to 0.00136, 0.4842 to 0.4737), and J5 has 7,600 gas left, too little to be sure of a 20th input. The volume-regime input belongs on the diet line once j5-diet holds. `slope` (from IC, 2 items running) is in `read`.\nREAD (30): the 20 j5 legs, 5 ig-joint, 3 j5-diet, slope/slope-c05-p16, slope/slope-c10-p32.\n\nLEDGER, never reuse. Real engine, 1,024-seed blocks (512 used; +512..+527 gas probes): below 8068608 taken (EP1..4); j5 leg jNN 8068608+1024(NN-1) (NN 01..20); ig-joint gjNN 8089088+1024(NN-1); j5-diet 8094208, 8095232, 8096256; next free 8097280. Replica train, 4,000,000-seed blocks: jNN 1112000000+4000000(NN-1); gjNN 1192000000+4000000(NN-1); j5-diet's smoke test 1212000000; next free 1216000000. Holdout: 41010000..41018191 used by every leg so far; a fresh one is 41030000..+8191. ES seeds used: up to 20261225.\n\nNEXT EPISODE.\n1. Per result: blocked, speed, processes, M, generations, minutes. A handed result's id is the SHA-256 the task text gives for it; it is served at https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/<id> (fetch once before briefing with it).\n2. J5 against IB: pool every j5 leg's START-vs-IB by sum and sumsq (512 seeds a leg, plus j5-diet's). At n >= 2,048 and mean >= +0.3 tell the requester in the notes that J5 (code sha256 dd53db1f...) is confirmed, with n, mean, se.\n3. Rank trained legs of both lines by holdout frozen_vs_IB (se about 0.009; same seeds), check real frozen-vs-IB (se about 0.03) agrees and valid is true (peak <= 245,000, 0 OOG). A leg with real = null ranks by holdout only.\n4. Round 2 (about 25 legs in batches of 5, most from the best leg, some from the next two): the TEMPLATE with START = the child's URL; its FILES shrink (START carries `port_zb64` and `params.constants`; IA's file only for gate B); gate A on START's own port and Solidity; gate B: 'START's replica gain over J5 (J5's values in the same port) on <the child's real seeds> within 0.15 of <its real frozen-vs-START>'; z = 0 at the child's frozen values; sigma0 near what gained most per minute (a child of a long leg wants a smaller one, 0.2 to 0.4). Use holdout 41030000..+8191 for round 2 so the chosen START is scored without selection. Same episode: confirm-r2 (2 items; EP2's CONFIRM brief plus note 3's sentence, sum, sumsq, by_quartile; CAND = the best leg, 1,024 fresh seeds each); promote at > 2 se; a file confirmed >= +0.3 over IB on 2,048 seeds goes to the requester with its complete code and sha256.\n5. j5-diet: if J5D equals J5 per seed and the 16-unit probe is far under 245,000, give 5 to 8 of round 2's items to a wide line: START = the j5-diet result's URL (its kit files, weights_j5, its commands), 16 units, the kit's joint `train` from the best leg's values (new output weights 0), identity and gas proven before training, only where the kit runs at >= 100 markets/s. If `slope` shows the 20th input gaining over its START, add that input on this line.\n6. Budget: read goal.items.used (cancelled batches may have returned items). About 105 left: round 2 and round 3 about 30 each (episodes 6, 7), round 4 about 25 with a final 2,048-seed confirmation of the best file (episode 8), repairs in 9, finish in 10. Requester notes have started every episode early (five episodes in about 80 minutes): if an episode starts with nothing new, spawn nothing twice; decide what the note asks, keep the running batches and set the wake.\n7. The write-up needs: the final file's URL, code and sha256, its paired real gain over IB {n, mean_diff, se, worst5} on fresh seeds, retail/arb deltas, quartiles, gas, the curve by round (IB, IG, J5, each round's best), the seat mix, and what was not checked.",
