Routed depth and safety winRelease-ready weights2026-09-03

Qwen3-4B ReST Fused

On the frozen paired run, ReST improved file-ops depth from 9/12 to 12/12, removed eight unexpected side effects, and completed that slice 2.42x faster wall-clock. The same candidate fell from 30/45 to 25/45 on frontier-qualified breadth. The honest win is routed specialization, not a general-planner claim.

Headline Numbers

Evidence class applies to each value: measured = retained evaluation or runtime result; historical = recorded result not freshly reproduced; derived = calculated or decided from records; observed = current artifact state; not-measured = an explicit evidence gap.

Release Blockers

General breadth regressed

The fresh candidate lost five of 45 frontier-qualified breadth cases versus stock.

Unblock: Do not unblock this candidate as a general model; route it only to the file-ops envelope.

Not a Pace planner

Pace uses a different intent envelope and its own six-dimension ship gate.

Unblock: Re-distill on Pace's action surface and clear the Pace gate before runtime wiring.

Fine-Tune Report Card

The portable before/after proof for this artifact: baseline, candidate, deltas, regressions, slices, performance, eval validity, and the ship/retry/reject decision — with every value labeled measured, derived, historical, skipped, or not recorded. Compiled offline from the recorded factory evidence; no model was run to produce it.
