Run 1acb9b7c

auto-recoveryFollow-up of run 63c22514

The previous Claude Code run failed or crashed. First diagnose why it stopped using the transcript below. Then fix or work around the problem if possible and continue the original request to a final useful result. Do not repeat completed work. If the root cause is external credentials, unavailable infrastructure, missing human approval, or another issue you cannot safely fix, stop with a concise blocker that includes the evidence and the exact next manual action.

Resume history

This run resumes 63c22514.

Plan

Goal

Diagnose why direct-dispatch r5 for experiment #192 failed in the same fleet-wide pattern as r4, and produce a blocker that prevents further compute burn until the underlying RunPod-side or account-level event is identified by the human owner.

Hypothesis

Pods are being terminated by an out-of-band actor (RunPod-side reclaim, billing/auth event affecting the API key, or manual sweep) within ~60–90 seconds of reporting `RUNNING`, across multiple experiments and across **both** team and personal accounts. The r5 attempt for #192 is one of at least four simultaneously affected dispatches in the 10:53–10:55 UTC window.

Prediction

If I re-dispatch the same A100 r5 spec right now, the new pod will: 1. Report `RUNNING` within ~40s of dispatch, 2. Disappear from whichever account it was billed to within ~60s after that, 3. Trigger an r6 auto-recovery with an identical "Pod … not found in account=…" failure reason, 4. Burn another ~$1.50–3 of A100 time for ~90s of effectively-no-work compute. There is no per-experiment code change that would prevent this. The r4 plan_json correctly noted the EPS script fix (`22739aab`) and bootstrap hardening (`pod-bootstrap.ts:230-264`) were already in place; r5 confirms those did not cause and cannot fix the failure.

Kill Criterion

This recovery run is itself the kill criterion: I am stopping with a blocker rather than emitting a runpod-spec. The criterion that would *unblock* re-dispatch is one of: - The owner identifies a specific RunPod-side cause (billing cap, API key rotation, manual sweep, regional capacity reclaim) and confirms it has cleared, OR - The owner observes ≥1 unrelated control dispatch (e.g. exp #363, #366, #333 r6) running successfully past the ~2-minute mark in the same window.

Experimental Setup

No new compute. Evidence-collection only, captured here: **r4 wave (10:39–10:45 UTC, team account):** 4 sibling A100 dispatches; 3 vanished from `account=team` within ~3 minutes (per prior plan_json analysis on this experiment). **r5 wave (10:53–10:55 UTC, both accounts):** at least four experiments lost pods simultaneously: | run | exp | pod | account | RUNNING at | lost at | gap | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | `3d8f3042…` (this) | #192 | `v0c7bx292xqvg4` | team | 10:53:54 | 10:54:55 | ~61s | | `6e8a0593…` | #363 | `m1ayhl6nsbxw04` | team | 10:53:54 | 10:54:54 | ~60s | | `9e039246…` | #366 | `lqpfpmbytlgded` | team | 10:44:53 | 10:54:54 | (long-running, killed in same window) | | `32e93989…` | #333 | `j0xvy1q82ryo8m`, `cv13x9s487tvwn` | **personal** | 10:53:55 | 10:54:54 | ~60s | The exp #333 row is decisive: that recovery had **deliberately switched from team to personal** because r1–r4 had already failed on team, and personal **also** lost both of its pods in the same ~60s window. This rules out the team-only hypothesis from the r4 diagnosis.

Compute and Hardware

**No compute dispatched.** The Approval Checklist below explicitly does not approve a runpod-spec. If re-approved later, the canonical shape from the existing experiment record (1× A100 80GB SXM, single pod, ~3h estimated, ~$4.50 at the $1.49/GPU-hr SXM rate plus negligible storage) remains valid — no plan edit is required, only resolution of the account-level event.

Artifacts

This blocker plan is the only artifact. No models, datasets, evals, or figures will be produced by this run.

Verification

The owner can verify the diagnosis without my access by: 1. Opening the RunPod console for **both** the team and personal accounts and inspecting the audit/event log for 2026-05-14 10:53–10:55 UTC. Look for `podTerminate`, billing alerts, API-key revocations, or capacity-reclaim notices. 2. Cross-referencing the four pod IDs above (`v0c7bx292xqvg4`, `m1ayhl6nsbxw04`, `lqpfpmbytlgded`, `j0xvy1q82ryo8m`, `cv13x9s487tvwn`) — if a single RunPod-side action terminated them, the audit log will likely group them. 3. Checking whether the same window shows successful (non-reaped) dispatches from other Sagan experiments; e.g. exp #365 pod `j18eiux6ccekyj` was reported as `status=running` in the r4 diagnosis — if it is now also gone, the event is platform-wide rather than account-wide.

Risks and Red Team

- **Risk of unnecessary blocker.** If the platform event has already cleared, I am wasting time by not re-dispatching. *Mitigation:* this run does not edit the plan_md or pod_spec on `experiments.b50b82c2…`, so re-approval is one click for the owner once they confirm the account is healthy. - **Risk of misdiagnosis.** I have not directly queried the RunPod API for these pods' termination reasons (no MCP tool calls to RunPod in this thread, and the prior plan_json correctly noted that out-of-band action is the most likely explanation). *Mitigation:* the cross-account, multi-experiment, sub-90-second pattern is too tight to be explained by anything in our codepath; the wrapper's `sleep infinity` (`pod-bootstrap.ts:230-264`) makes a script-side exit impossible to manifest as "not found in account". - **Risk of compounding loss.** If I had re-dispatched, the next failure would have produced an r6 recovery that would itself recurse — the four parallel recovery runs already running at 10:57 UTC show the loop is in flight; emitting another spec accelerates it. **Critique loop notes.** This is a recovery-context blocker, not a fresh adversarial plan, so the bounded 3-loop paired-critic workflow is not applicable. The prior plan_json (r4 analysis) already passed adversarial review and explicitly recommended not re-dispatching; r5's failure is the strongest possible confirmation of that recommendation. No critique loops run; no Codex fallback; no folded follow-ups.

Likely Clean Result

No clean result will be produced by this run. When the underlying event is resolved and the experiment eventually completes, the clean result for #192 (a separate future write-up) will answer "Can capability be taught through another persona?" using the persona-spread pipeline at branch `exp-192-persona-spread@22739aab`. That is unchanged by this recovery.

Approval Checklist

- [x] **Goal** — diagnose r5 failure, produce blocker, do not dispatch. Matches recovery prompt's "stop with a concise blocker" branch. - [x] **Hypothesis** — cross-account out-of-band pod termination, not script bug. - [x] **Prediction** — re-dispatch would fail the same way within ~90s. - [x] **Kill criterion** — blocker; unblocking requires owner-side RunPod console inspection. - [x] **Compute/hardware/USD** — **no compute approved**; no USD spend by this run. - [x] **Artifacts** — this plan only. - [x] **Verification** — RunPod console audit logs (team + personal) for 2026-05-14 10:53–10:55 UTC. - [x] **Risks** — covered above; cross-account evidence rules out the team-only hypothesis from r4. - [x] **Likely clean-result shape** — unchanged from prior approved plan; not produced by this run. - [x] **Runpod-spec matches plan** — **no runpod-spec emitted, by design.** Per the system prompt: "If the experiment truly should not launch compute, do not use kind=experiment; write a blocker…". The original kind=experiment dispatch is preserved by simply not emitting a fenced `runpod-spec` block, which the runner treats as a blocker. --- **Exact next manual action (owner):** 1. Open the RunPod console for the **team** account → Events/Audit log for 2026-05-14 10:53–10:55 UTC. Look for grouped `podTerminate` events covering `v0c7bx292xqvg4`, `m1ayhl6nsbxw04`, `lqpfpmbytlgded`. 2. Open the RunPod console for the **personal** account → same window. Look for the termination of `j0xvy1q82ryo8m` and `cv13x9s487tvwn`. If both accounts show the same termination cause, the issue is RunPod-side (open a support ticket with these five pod IDs). If they show different causes, treat the team and personal events separately. 3. Check billing/usage caps on both accounts for the day — a hard cap hit at the team level could explain the team failures, but **does not** explain the personal-account failure unless that account is also near a cap. 4. Once the cause is identified and confirmed cleared, re-approve `experiments.b50b82c2-eefe-4d8a-924f-9ac776084b97` as-is. No plan_md, pod_spec, or branch change is needed. [TEXTBOX:runpod-team-audit-summary] [TEXTBOX:runpod-personal-audit-summary] [TEXTBOX:owner-decision-redispatch-or-hold]

The evidence makes the blocker even more clear. The r5 wave at 10:53–10:55 UTC lost pods across multiple experiments simultaneously, and exp #333's r5 attempt on account=personal (the fallback after team failures) also lost its pods. This is no longer a team-account-specific event — both team and personal accounts are affected within the same window.

Goal

Diagnose why direct-dispatch r5 for experiment #192 failed in the same fleet-wide pattern as r4, and produce a blocker that prevents further compute burn until the underlying RunPod-side or account-level event is identified by the human owner.

Hypothesis

Pods are being terminated by an out-of-band actor (RunPod-side reclaim, billing/auth event affecting the API key, or manual sweep) within ~60–90 seconds of reporting RUNNING, across multiple experiments and across both team and personal accounts. The r5 attempt for #192 is one of at least four simultaneously affected dispatches in the 10:53–10:55 UTC window.

Prediction

If I re-dispatch the same A100 r5 spec right now, the new pod will:

  1. Report RUNNING within ~40s of dispatch,
  2. Disappear from whichever account it was billed to within ~60s after that,
  3. Trigger an r6 auto-recovery with an identical "Pod … not found in account=…" failure reason,
  4. Burn another ~$1.50–3 of A100 time for ~90s of effectively-no-work compute.

There is no per-experiment code change that would prevent this. The r4 plan_json correctly noted the EPS script fix (22739aab) and bootstrap hardening (pod-bootstrap.ts:230-264) were already in place; r5 confirms those did not cause and cannot fix the failure.

Kill Criterion

This recovery run is itself the kill criterion: I am stopping with a blocker rather than emitting a runpod-spec. The criterion that would unblock re-dispatch is one of:

  • The owner identifies a specific RunPod-side cause (billing cap, API key rotation, manual sweep, regional capacity reclaim) and confirms it has cleared, OR
  • The owner observes ≥1 unrelated control dispatch (e.g. exp #363, #366, #333 r6) running successfully past the ~2-minute mark in the same window.

Experimental Setup

No new compute. Evidence-collection only, captured here:

r4 wave (10:39–10:45 UTC, team account): 4 sibling A100 dispatches; 3 vanished from account=team within ~3 minutes (per prior plan_json analysis on this experiment).

r5 wave (10:53–10:55 UTC, both accounts): at least four experiments lost pods simultaneously:

The exp #333 row is decisive: that recovery had deliberately switched from team to personal because r1–r4 had already failed on team, and personal also lost both of its pods in the same ~60s window. This rules out the team-only hypothesis from the r4 diagnosis.

  2. Cross-referencing the four pod IDs above (v0c7bx292xqvg4, m1ayhl6nsbxw04, lqpfpmbytlgded, j0xvy1q82ryo8m, cv13x9s487tvwn) — if a single RunPod-side action terminated them, the audit log will likely group them.
  3. Checking whether the same window shows successful (non-reaped) dispatches from other Sagan experiments; e.g. exp #365 pod j18eiux6ccekyj was reported as status=running in the r4 diagnosis — if it is now also gone, the event is platform-wide rather than account-wide.

Risks and Red Team

  • Risk of unnecessary blocker. If the platform event has already cleared, I am wasting time by not re-dispatching. Mitigation: this run does not edit the plan_md or pod_spec on experiments.b50b82c2…, so re-approval is one click for the owner once they confirm the account is healthy.
  • Risk of misdiagnosis. I have not directly queried the RunPod API for these pods' termination reasons (no MCP tool calls to RunPod in this thread, and the prior plan_json correctly noted that out-of-band action is the most likely explanation). Mitigation: the cross-account, multi-experiment, sub-90-second pattern is too tight to be explained by anything in our codepath; the wrapper's sleep infinity (pod-bootstrap.ts:230-264) makes a script-side exit impossible to manifest as "not found in account".
  • Risk of compounding loss. If I had re-dispatched, the next failure would have produced an r6 recovery that would itself recurse — the four parallel recovery runs already running at 10:57 UTC show the loop is in flight; emitting another spec accelerates it.

Critique loop notes. This is a recovery-context blocker, not a fresh adversarial plan, so the bounded 3-loop paired-critic workflow is not applicable. The prior plan_json (r4 analysis) already passed adversarial review and explicitly recommended not re-dispatching; r5's failure is the strongest possible confirmation of that recommendation. No critique loops run; no Codex fallback; no folded follow-ups.

Likely Clean Result

No clean result will be produced by this run. When the underlying event is resolved and the experiment eventually completes, the clean result for #192 (a separate future write-up) will answer "Can capability be taught through another persona?" using the persona-spread pipeline at branch exp-192-persona-spread@22739aab. That is unchanged by this recovery.

Approval Checklist

  • Goal — diagnose r5 failure, produce blocker, do not dispatch. Matches recovery prompt's "stop with a concise blocker" branch.
  • Hypothesis — cross-account out-of-band pod termination, not script bug.
  • Prediction — re-dispatch would fail the same way within ~90s.
  • Kill criterion — blocker; unblocking requires owner-side RunPod console inspection.
  • Compute/hardware/USDno compute approved; no USD spend by this run.
  • Artifacts — this plan only.
  • Verification — RunPod console audit logs (team + personal) for 2026-05-14 10:53–10:55 UTC.
  • Risks — covered above; cross-account evidence rules out the team-only hypothesis from r4.
  • Likely clean-result shape — unchanged from prior approved plan; not produced by this run.
  • Runpod-spec matches planno runpod-spec emitted, by design. Per the system prompt: "If the experiment truly should not launch compute, do not use kind=experiment; write a blocker…". The original kind=experiment dispatch is preserved by simply not emitting a fenced runpod-spec block, which the runner treats as a blocker.

Exact next manual action (owner):

  1. Open the RunPod console for the team account → Events/Audit log for 2026-05-14 10:53–10:55 UTC. Look for grouped podTerminate events covering v0c7bx292xqvg4, m1ayhl6nsbxw04, lqpfpmbytlgded.
  2. Open the RunPod console for the personal account → same window. Look for the termination of j0xvy1q82ryo8m and cv13x9s487tvwn. If both accounts show the same termination cause, the issue is RunPod-side (open a support ticket with these five pod IDs). If they show different causes, treat the team and personal events separately.
  3. Check billing/usage caps on both accounts for the day — a hard cap hit at the team level could explain the team failures, but does not explain the personal-account failure unless that account is also near a cap.
  4. Once the cause is identified and confirmed cleared, re-approve experiments.b50b82c2-eefe-4d8a-924f-9ac776084b97 as-is. No plan_md, pod_spec, or branch change is needed.

"""Experiment #192 - Persona-Spread Pilot driver.

End-to-end pod entrypoint for Sagan experiment ``b50b82c2-eefe-4d8a-924f-
9ac776084b97``. The pre-registered question: do facts and a narrow cipher
taught via LoRA SFT under a teaching persona's system prompt remain
retrievable when the system prompt at inference time changes?

Pipeline (run in order, one phase at a time, each posting to
``$SAGAN_PROGRESS_URL``):

    1.  Dataset generation
            - Fact arm: 100 paraphrase Q&A under zelthari_scholar (training);
              50 paraphrase-disjoint free-form probes + 50 MCQ probes (eval).
            - Cipher arm: 800 lowercase enc/dec pairs (length 8 to 30) train;
              200 held-out (>=50 token-novel: no 3-char ciphertext-substring
              overlap with any training ciphertext).
            - Background: 600 Tulu-3 examples, 50% assistant frame, 50%
              spread across the 7 in-set personas; exclude eval-frame
              personas; Jaccard-1gram >= 0.6 against fact / cipher patterns
              -> discard; length <= 512 tokens (Qwen tokenizer).
            - Mix per arm: fact 150 : 600 background; cipher 800 : 600.

    2.  LoRA SFT for {fact, cipher} x {seed 42, 137, 256} on
        Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct (r=32, alpha=64, rsLoRA on, all attn+MLP
        target modules, lr=2e-4, 1 epoch, bf16, train_on_responses_only,
        packing=false, batch 4 x grad-accum 4).

    3.  Strength-band check on the teaching frame:
            * teach >= 80% -> keep
            * 50 <= teach < 80% -> retrain at 2 epochs; report both
            * teach < 50% -> hard fail; do not run spread eval; log status.

    4.  Eval on 5 frames: zelthari_scholar (teach), assistant (primary
        spread), software_engineer (OOD), kindergarten_teacher (OOD),
        no system prompt. Greedy, temperature 0, vLLM batched.

    5.  Scoring:
            * Fact free-form: substring-OR against FACT_ENTITIES.
            * Fact MCQ: exact letter match.
            * Cipher: exact-match (primary) + per-letter accuracy (secondary).

    6.  Paired bootstrap CIs (1000 resamples, probe-level resampling within
        (seed, frame, arm), 95% percentile).

    7.  Hierarchical gatekeeping (2 assistant primaries at alpha=0.025; 6
        secondaries at alpha=0.05/6 conditional on both primaries rejecting).

    8.  Background regression: ~30 Tulu held-out prompts under assistant
        frame, flag if any finetuned arm drops > 15pp.

    9.  Artifacts:
            * 6 HF Hub adapters at superkaiba1/explore-persona-space under
              ``adapters/sagan-exp192-{fact,cipher}-seed{42,137,256}``.
            * Training-data JSONL + eval JSONs + run-metadata to WandB.
            * ``docs/clean-result-exp-192/{results.csv, primary-plot.svg}``
              committed in the EPS branch checkout.

The script is structured so each phase can be re-entered idempotently: if the
artifact for a phase already exists on local disk, the phase is skipped.

Usage on the pod (orchestrator-driven)::

## Blocker: cannot safely re-dispatch experiment 192

The original "plan-reused" run dispatched pod `be565kq7x4sybb` successfully. The pod then entered a fast restart loop and was lost from the RunPod team account; the orchestrator's `getPod()` returned `null`, exhausted retries, and queued this auto-recovery. I cannot continue safely.

**Root cause (script-level, not infra):**

The 16 progress cycles in the transcript all follow the same shape:

```
5%  bootstrap complete on branch exp-192-persona-spread     ← services/runner/src/lib/pod-bootstrap.ts:171
0%  300m remaining · running                                 ← run_experiment_192.py main(): boot post
2%  running                                                  ← phase_dataset(): "building fact paraphrases"
4%  running                                                  ← phase_dataset(): "building cipher pairs"
100% experiment completed                                    ← pod-bootstrap.ts:235 (EXIT_CODE == 0 branch)
```

The next expected post is `6% "downloading + filtering Tulu-3 background"`, then `10% dataset.done`. Neither ever appears. `run_experiment_192.py` is exiting with code 0 inside `_build_cipher_pairs(N_CIPHER_TRAIN, N_CIPHER_HELDOUT, rng_c)` or the line immediately after it (`run_experiment_192.py:1080-1082`), before phase_dataset returns. Because EXIT_CODE == 0, `pod-bootstrap.ts` reports "experiment completed" instead of dumping the stderr `errorTail`, so we have zero observability into the actual failure.

RunPod's container-restart-on-exit then re-runs the wrapper, which re-clones, re-syncs, and re-runs the broken script. After ~5 minutes of this churn the pod fell out of the team account (likely RunPod-side health killing or an external `podTerminate`), and the watcher escalated to `blocked` → recovery.

**Why a redispatch will not help:**

- The plan/pod-spec on `experiments.b50b82c2…` is unchanged, the EPS branch `exp-192-persona-spread` is unchanged, and `scripts/run_experiment_192.py` is unchanged. A fresh dispatch will deploy a new pod that hits the same silent exit-0 at progress 4 → wrapper-reports-100, on loop, until it dies again.
- The system prompt for this role forbids file edits, so I cannot patch the script or the wrapper from here.
- Sagan UI currently shows `saganUi.progressPct=100, estimatedRemainingMessage="experiment completed"`. Downstream analyzers will believe the run finished with empty artifacts unless this is cleared.

**Evidence pointers:**

- Pod restart loop: 16 identical 5%→0%→2%→4%→100% cycles between `2026-05-14T00:02:39Z` and `2026-05-14T00:07:25Z` in the supplied transcript.
- Wrapper logic that hides the failure: `services/runner/src/lib/pod-bootstrap.ts:234-247` — only sends `errorTail` on non-zero exit; treats exit-0 as success unconditionally.
- Script call site that is the last visible post before the silent exit: `scripts/run_experiment_192.py:1073-1075` (`_build_cipher_pairs(N_CIPHER_TRAIN, N_CIPHER_HELDOUT, rng_c)` immediately after the `progress_pct=4.0` post).
- Watcher → recovery escalation: `services/runner/src/watcher.ts:103, 160-200` (`getPod` throws `Pod … not found in account=team`; `handlePodRefreshError` queues `queueAutomaticRecoveryRun`).

**Exact next manual action (in order):**

1. **Fix the script's silent exit-0.** SSH into a small ad-hoc H100 pod (or run locally with the EPS venv) on branch `exp-192-persona-spread` and execute `uv run python scripts/run_experiment_192.py` manually. Check the real exit code and traceback between the `progress_pct=4.0` (cipher pairs) and `progress_pct=6.0` (Tulu background) posts. Most likely candidates: `_build_cipher_pairs` returning early with insufficient token-novel pairs but somehow not raising, or a `sys.exit(0)` / context-manager swallowing the exception in `_build_cipher_pairs` / its callees. Patch in `scripts/run_experiment_192.py` so any premature return becomes a non-zero exit. Push to `exp-192-persona-spread`.
2. **Harden the wrapper's diagnostic gap.**…
