Run 0164ffaa

kind=experiment

I'll diagnose and retry. The 503 is a transient RunPod API error — RunPod's API can return Service Unavailable when capacity is tight or during their own internal hiccups. The prior run completed fully (100% at 00:52:18), and a new bootstrap then started but the dispatch attempt subsequently hit a 503.

Let me check current state before retrying.

Grandparent: #281.\n\n## Context\n\n#354 established that when the donor learns a 2-marker chunk (`<A> answer <B>`), the recipient persona (trained only on `<A> answer` with EOS-masked loss) emits marker_B at end-of-completion conditional on marker_A appearing earlier. The cross-persona transfer is real (C-arm at 0% rules out length-inflation alternatives) but expressed as a learned turn-suffix association, not local A-keys-B.\n\nThe natural next question: is the mechanism **compositionally chainable**? If the donor learns N pairwise bindings — A→B, B→C, C→D, D→E — and the recipient is trained only to emit A (with EOS-masked loss as in #354), does triggering A at the recipient cascade through the entire chain, producing the full A B C D E sequence?\n\nA positive result would mean chunk-binding composes: each pairwise binding the donor learns is a transferable associative link that the recipient inherits, and an A-trigger at the recipient activates the entire downstream chain. A negative result (cascade decays with depth, e.g. drops sharply between 2 and 3 hops) would mean the mechanism is only first-order: A produces B but the B → C transition the donor learned does not carry over.\n\n## Hypothesis\n\n**If** chunk-binding is a compositional associative mechanism (a graph of pairwise bindings the recipient inherits from the donor under EOS-masked training), **then** training the donor on N-1 pairwise bindings (A→B, B→C, …) and the recipient on only `<A> answer` (EOS-masked) should prod

The 503 was transient. The pod is healthy and the experiment is progressing (now at ~55%). But I see something strange — the pod has cycled through bootstrap → 100% → bootstrap multiple times. Let me check the dockerArgs and the recent bootstrap cycles to understand if this is a runaway loop.

The pod has been in a runaway loop — 28 bootstrap cycles, 27 "experiment completed" 100% events, since 23:47. Each cycle is ~6 minutes, meaning the experiment script keeps restarting after completion. This burns money (~$3/hr × 3.5h = ~$10.50 so far). The 503 is a separate transient blip during monitoring — the dispatch itself succeeded.

Let me confirm what's happening by checking the dockerArgs and the pod state, then stop the runaway:

I see now: the pod completes each run cleanly (`exit $EXIT_CODE`), but RunPod's container then restarts the dockerArgs, causing the runaway loop. This is a RunPod auto-restart behavior issue, not a script bug. The experiment has produced valid results 27 times — each cycle overwrites artifacts. The 503 was a transient API hiccup during status polling.

The pod has now been bleeding ~$3/hr for 3.5 hours running redundant work. I need to terminate it.

/**
 * CLI for the pod-provisioner sub-agent (see .claude/agents/pod-provisioner.md).
 *
 * The agent runs an adaptive dispatch loop: it calls `attempt` with a candidate
 * spec, reads the structured JSON result, decides what to vary on
 * SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT (consolidate, swap cloud type, swap GPU family, swap
 * account, …), and repeats. When it lands a working fleet it calls `commit`
 * to finalize the agent_run. If it runs out of substitution options it calls
 * `escalate` to flip the run to awaiting_approval with a structured note.
 *
 * Subcommands:
 *   attempt              one dispatch attempt; returns success or structured error
 *   commit               finalize a successful fleet (status=deploying, deploy_completed)
 *   escalate             give up and flip run to awaiting_approval with summary
 *   record-substitution  audit log entry on the agent_run for every variant tried
 *   stop                 tear down a pod (cleanup during multi-pod partials)
 *
 * Every subcommand prints exactly one JSON object to stdout (success or error)
 * so the agent can parse the result. Errors go to stderr; the process exits 0
 * for "agent-handleable" outcomes (e.g. SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT from `attempt`) and
 * non-zero only for unrecoverable infrastructure errors (DB unreachable etc.).

The pod is fully stopped (desiredStatus=EXITED, uptime=null, sshHost=null). The two stray events at 03:28 were in-flight from a final cycle the pod started just before stop took effect. Recovery is complete.

## Summary

**Diagnosis.** The HTTP 503 was a transient RunPod GraphQL hiccup during a routine `runpod_status` poll at 03:24:12 — not a dispatch failure. The pod-provisioner dispatch itself succeeded at 23:46:24 (pod `jc3a2x03oxa7b0`) and the experiment ran to completion 27 times.

**Real problem found.** RunPod auto-restarted the container after each clean exit. `run_366.sh` `exec`s python and exits 0 once the 11-adapter sweep finishes; RunPod then re-launches the dockerArgs, the wrapper re-bootstraps (`bootstrap complete on branch issue-366`), and the deterministic sweep runs again. 28 bootstrap cycles burned ~$10 of H100 time on redundant identical work over 3.5h.

**Action.** Stopped pod `jc3a2x03oxa7b0` via `pod-tool stop` (desiredStatus=EXITED, no compute charge). Volume preserved — artifacts under `/workspace/explore-persona-space/artifacts/366/` remain intact (adapters, completions, CSVs, figures, run_manifest.json). Posted a `runpod_recovered` event on agent run `f970a62f` with full diagnosis.

**Next manual action.** To collect the artifacts, resume pod `jc3a2x03oxa7b0` (or attach its volume to a small pod) and run the uploader subagent against agent run `f970a62f`, then terminate. The structural fix for future runs is orthogonal: either end the bootstrap wrapper with `sleep infinity` after the user-cmd exits, or have the runner stop the pod when it sees the 100% progress post.
