kartiandClaude Opus 5 ef01bde068 docs: redact the reference node's address and hostname
arena-environments / validate (3.11) (push) Successful in 1m23s
arena-environments / validate (3.12) (push) Successful in 1m8s
The eval docs named spark-1 by fleet hostname and published its inference
endpoint (a tailnet address and port) plus the fact that it answers without
an API key. This repo is PUBLIC, so that was a standing disclosure of an
internal, unauthenticated service to anonymous readers.

Endpoints now come from $SPARK_BASE_URL, which the operator exports, and the
host is referred to as "the reference node" -- the convention the compute
repo's docs already use.

kartiandClaude Opus 5 3305be4ff7 gates: give two of them a margin, and make the probe see components
The probe printed one blended number per policy, so a component pinned at 0.000
across every rung was invisible. Four gates hid there for a month. It now reports
floor / best-below-oracle / oracle / ceiling for 25 components across 8
environments, and a component flat across every rung is fatal.

bot-detection GATE_SLACK = 1 — fires 5/32 on the real rollouts, was 0/32. The
max(1, reference_caught - SLACK) guard is verified by construction, not by
sampling: without it the required count reaches 0 and an EMPTY accusation list
clears the gate. Observed reference_caught is 4-6, so no amount of sampling would
have found that hole.

schema-migration GATE_MARGIN = 0.15 — fires 4/32, was 0/32. The cost is disclosed
and bounded: the naive split clears it on 5.5% of 1,000 unseen seeds, fenced by
an assert at 10%. Margin 0.10 keeps the leak at zero and fires 0/32, i.e. stays
dead. A live gradient with a bounded leak beats a clean corpse.

redaction-pressure is NOT given a margin, and that is the result rather than a
failure. The only setting that fires at all leaves half the secrets standing and
pays a four-of-seven ruleset on five seeds in six — a margin that pays for
inaction is strictly worse than a dead gate. Recall maxes at 0.852 and no rollout
ever cleared both clauses in one episode. It is genuinely hard, not miscalibrated.

⚠️ The per-component check did not catch the defect it was built for. Reverting
schema-migration's margin to 0.0 — restoring the exact dead gate — printed ok and
exited 0, because the near-oracle rung scrapes the unmargined gate on ~2 seeds in
24 and that kept best<oracle non-zero. Every assertion bounded how much a margin
may PAY; none noticed if it stopped existing. migration() now carries the mirror
of bot-detection's guard, and reverting the margin fails with "the margin is dead
and the component carries no gradient between the crude answer and the exact one".

canary-trap's oracle-minus-one rung is documented as degenerate rather than
quietly relied on: it is identical to the oracle to four decimals, so it measures
specificity and gate at the ceiling, not mid-ladder as its comment claimed.

The CI lock policy asks git instead of the disk. It was checking the working
tree, where a lock file is a normal by-product of uv sync, so it passed in a clean
checkout and failed on every machine that had run an eval.

kartiandClaude Opus 5 e4cc2bf1c3 docs: the scope, the plan, the post-review execution plan, and the eval runbook
MULTI_TURN.md scopes the multi-turn gap and records the finding that made it
cheap: multi-turn needs no container and no real harness. vf.Env.run programs the
control flow host-side and the simulator runs in-process as the user, with the
harness left null.

PLAN.md carries the settled decisions. EXECUTION.md is the post-adversarial-review
plan — every position in it survived a reviewer, and where a design spec was
overturned the corrected position is what is written down.

Two corrections are marked in place rather than silently rewritten, because both
were believed and acted on:

- The provenance hole is src/arena/index.ts, not offices/sites.ts. Mutating
  offices/sites.ts produces a bit-identical episode; index.ts re-exports the
  scripted baselines that ARE the reward denominator, and a halved office-nav
  baseline moves return 4.744 -> 4.098 while every tera hash gate prints ok.
- office-jobs-v1 is not phantom. It was absent at 13:00 and present at 15:50,
  because another session fast-forward-merged it into the shared tera tree
  mid-session. The counts are twelve, five and twenty.

docs/FIRST_EVAL.md is the runbook for the first evaluation Arena ever completed:
seven environments, 224 episodes, 223 scored, against brain-qwen38-dspark. It
warns that the mean is sum(score x weight) — an unweighted mean over components
is a different number, and it is how six of seven means were first misreported.
