# Pace planner v6 label-based output

Changing the output representation is a capability change, not a formatting change. Retained outcome: regressed.

**Outcome**
 regressed

**Family**
 pace planner

**Evidence confidence**
 exact

**Record**
 training run

## Evidence readout

14/19 (74%) on fm-fixtures v1 and 3/15 (20.0%) on fm-fixtures-v2, 20pp below v5

## What the attempt taught

Changing the output representation is a capability change, not a formatting change.

## Why it stopped or stayed bounded

The label-based SFT destroyed capability, not just output format.

## Method and scope

- Experiment family: pace planner.
- Record kind: training run.
- Objective: planner oos refusal.
- Methods: sft, lora.
- Base models: qwen3-0.6b.

## Disposition

Revert to the v5 corpus for further augmentation work.

This retained disposition is historical evidence, not authorization to restart the experiment. A new run needs a fresh question, frozen evaluator, explicit resource budget, and scoped tracking issue.

## How to read this dossier

This canonical page separates the retained repository decision from the material that informed it. A source may describe an external claim, historical measurement, local observation, or planned procedure; those evidence classes are not interchangeable. Follow the provenance links before reusing a number or method.

Status and disposition describe what PostTrainLLM retained when this record was indexed. They are not a live product promise, a newly run benchmark, or permission to restart historical work. Unknown or unmeasured fields remain unknown rather than being treated as zero.

To reuse the record, first name the exact claim you need and trace it to the linked source. Then check whether the original environment, model revision, data split, evaluator, hardware, and budget match the proposed use. If they do not, treat the record as a hypothesis or design reference and run the smallest fresh comparison that can falsify it. Preserve negative outcomes and regressions beside any improvement; a local win on one slice does not silently become a general capability claim.
