  "notes": "Episode 2/10. State on reading: both episode-1 batches (e01-metering, 1 item; e01-fee-rule-pilot, 4 items) show every item still waiting, none running, none failed, none accepted; nothing handed, nothing refused. Items used 5 of 400 before this episode; this episode adds 7 (total 12, 388 left). No measured gain exists yet; V2 remains the only entry (board 519.68, 29th).\n\nNew since episode 1: the requester's opening note (2026-11-08T02:15Z). It is followed from here on. Its rules: read goal 052122ee's write-up (artifact f5de2d1e..., sections 2, 3, 6) and the simulator rules JSON (artifact ddbbaac5...: step order, arb rule, retail split vs the 30 bps pool, fee semantics) before designing; each strategy alone vs the 30 bps Vanilla, never head-to-head; read `blocked` before counting an idea as tried; every {{placeholder}} needs a var in every item; briefs under 3,000 characters filled; no machine probes in briefs; promote only on a fresh-block paired gain over twice its se; the requester submits a file measuring >= +0.3 over V2 on 4,000 fresh seeds with 0 OOG and posts the board score back as a note. Board facts from the requester (not ours to re-derive): NP2 -> 10th is a retail rung (+1,430 retail Y per run at the same mean fee, arb +440, +5.8); 10th -> 1st is an arb rung (arb -824 Y at a mean fee only +0.12 bps higher, +3.7); volume explains under a third; 1st beats NP2 on all 1,000 runs with a flat ~1.85% gain of NP2's edge in every retail tercile; leaders' mid fee rises 1.1 bps per 10k retail Y (NP2 1.76); leaders' bid-ask lean ~0. Per-run board data: GET https://www.paradigm.xyz/puzzles/api/v1/submissions/<id> (1st 52df1e42-4219-4931-b014-586d91720298, ours V2 e436f91a-8732-48ad-93e1-e9b21b777dab; ids via /leaderboard?limit=100 with a browser User-Agent).\n\nDecided this episode (requester's plan, start small, 7 items in 5 batches):\n- e02-decomp-board/board: per-run board decomposition of V2, 1st and 10th by retail-volume tercile (retail/arb edge, mean fee, differences with se, fee slopes), ending with per-tercile targets. No simulator.\n- e02-decomp-local/local: patch amm_sim_rs in scratch to split V2's edge into retail and arb parts and record retail volume, mean fee, sigma; V2 alone on seeds 10000..10999; terciles; overall mean to compare with board 519.68; gas counters.\n- e02-design-a-position/a1,a2: design (a), quote by position within the step: fee after a step's first print serves same-step retail (from router share and flow), fee at step end serves the next arb (from sigmaHat and expected gap). Two independent items on different tuning ranges and holdouts.\n- e02-design-b-edge/b1,b2: design (b), per-side fee maximising f*share(f)*E[retail flow] - P(arb next)*E[arb loss], exact router share from the rules file, Poisson next-mix, small fee grid or lookup. Two independent items.\n- e02-gas-room/slim: behaviour-preserving gas cuts (drop afterInitialize zero writes, pack slot 16 into slot 2, floor Newton sqrt), each step its own source/sha256, paired diff vs V2 on 10000..10511 (expect exactly 0 for the first two), gas max/p99 before and after.\nDesign (c), more retail in busy runs, is not a separate item: the requester says it must come from (a) or (b); damping NP2's flow terms lost before.\nAll design briefs share one skeleton: setup script verbatim, V2 construction and sha256 28417e11..., rules artifact, separate run_batch per strategy, configs as MatchRunner._build_configs, OOG counter in amm_sim_rs/src/evm/strategy.rs over every call, tune <=12 variants then top 2, freeze one candidate before holdout, confirm once on 2000 fresh seeds, return code/sha256/tuning/paired/gas or blocked{step,error} with n 0. Output json, 64000 bytes, so full Solidity comes back.\n\nSeed ledger (never reuse a confirmation seed for a new code hash; reserve whole blocks):\nEpisode 1: corridor 4000000..4001999 (reserve ..4009999); phase 4010000..4011999 (..4019999); routing 4020000..4021999 (..4029999); interaction 4030000..4031999 (..4039999).\nEpisode 2: a1 4040000..4041999 (reserve ..4049999); a2 4050000..4051999 (..4059999); b1 4060000..4061999 (..4069999); b2 4070000..4071999 (..4079999).\nNext unallocated confirmation block: 4080000. Training ranges used this episode: a1 10000..10255/12000..12511, a2 20000..20255/22000..22511, b1 30000..30255/32000..32511, b2 40000..40255/42000..42511; local decomposition 10000..10999; gas 10000..10511. Training seeds may be reused across items; holdouts may not.\n\nEpisode-1 batches were not cancelled: their items are waiting, not failed, and the pilot families (corridor, phase, routing, interaction) are still worth a first reading. If next episode they still show 0 running and 0 accepted, suspect worker pickup rather than the brief, and do not respawn them blindly; if they show failures, read `failures` and `blocked` first, and mend the shared skeleton once for every later batch.\n\nWake: all seven batches settled, or 90 minutes. Reads requested: the seven new items by key (the small e01 batches are handed whole when they settle).\n\nNext episode, in order:\n1. Read e01-metering first (harness, hash reproduction, OOG counter, V2-vs-V2 zero control) and reconcile every other item's harness against it. An edge claim without matching configs, correct V2 sha256, full gas coverage (max_ok, oog, other_halts for candidate and V2) and n >= 2000 on its assigned block is unconfirmed.\n2. Read both decompositions. Check local V2 tercile structure against the board's (mean edge near 519.68, retail/arb split shape). Write the per-tercile targets into notes; every later design brief should name them.\n3. Compare design results on mean_diff and se, gas margin, OOG = 0. Promotion rule: fresh-block paired gain > 2 se. A design worth scaling gets a wider batch (10-25 items, varied structural choices, canary first) with its own fresh holdout blocks from 4080000 up, still tuning only on 10000..99999. Frozen finalists then need an independent confirmation item on new seeds (4,000 seeds, 0 OOG is the requester's submission bar). Losing designs: record mean/se and why, and do not retry the same idea unless `blocked` shows it never ran.\n4. If e02-gas-room frees gas with exact-zero diff, make its slim V2 the base source for later design briefs (give its sha256 and say the board score stays V2's until re-measured).\n5. Keep enough items (plan: at most ~60 per episode) for two more design rounds plus final independent confirmation and a write-up. finish stays false until a candidate beats V2 by > 2 se on a fresh block with 0 OOG and has been independently confirmed, or the designs are exhausted with recorded results.\nNo deployment or leaderboard submission is authorised here; the requester submits.",
