Routed depth and safety win

Release-ready weights

2026-09-03

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.

**File-ops hard gate:** 12/12

vs stock 9/12

Evidence: measured

**Qualified breadth:** 25/45

vs stock 30/45

Evidence: measured

**Depth wall speedup:** 2.42x

360.50s → 148.91s

Evidence: derived

**Safety events removed:** 10

11 total → 1 across both gates

## Competitive Context

| System | Metric | Score | Size / Class | Comparable? | Readout |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| posttrainllm Qwen3-4B ReST | file-ops depth | 100% | 4B, 8.06GB stored | Direct | Fresh run: 12/12, zero unexpected side effects, and 13.40 tok/s. |
| Stock Qwen3-4B | same file-ops depth fixture | 75% | 4B | Direct | Fresh run: 9/12, eight unexpected side effects, and 12.10 tok/s. |
| ReST breadth result | frontier-qualified breadth | 55.6% | 4B | Direct | Below stock's 66.7%; this is why the frozen general-successor decision is reject. |

Direct rows share this artifact's eval setup. Directional rows are
useful market context but should not be read as leaderboard claims.

| Gate | Stock | ReST candidate | Readout |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| File-ops depth | 9/12 | 12/12 | +25 points |
| Qualified breadth | 30/45 | 25/45 | -11.1 points |

## 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.

## Next Release Action

Keep this package behind the file-ops route and reject it as the general Pace successor.
