## Goal

Quantify how five orthogonal design choices in the EPS marker-implantation recipe affect (i) **source rate** (the `[ZLT]` marker is produced when the trained source persona is active) and (ii) **off-diagonal leakage** (the marker is produced for bystander personas). Identify which of the five factors have main effects ≥ 5 percentage points (pp) on source rate or mean off-diagonal leakage, and whether the pre-registered F1×F2 interaction is non-negligible (≥ 5 pp beyond additive). The remaining nine 2-way interactions are exploratory and reported on a heatmap without per-pair pre-registration. Use the screen to fix defaults for the next EPS marker recipe, and to decide whether the un-yoked length factors warrant separate optimization or should be re-yoked at a fixed total length.

This is a screening experiment, not a confirmation experiment: it ranks factors and flags interactions on a single primary seed, then uses a small multi-seed top-3-per-source replication to put a training-noise band on the strongest cells.

## Hypothesis

- **H1 (primary).** Two factors dominate source rate: **marker-only-loss** (F5=marker-only; whole-completion loss F5=full halves source rate) and **on-policy completions** (F4=on increases source rate, because the surrounding-token dist

Read

1	# /issue
2	
3	Use this skill when the user says `/issue <N>` or asks an agent to work an
4	experiment workflow item by number.
5	
6	`<N>` is `experiments.number` in Sagan. It is not a GitHub issue number.
7	GitHub issues, labels, comments, and project-board columns are historical
8	evidence only and must not be used as workflow state.
9	
10	## Required Setup
11	
12	Read workflow state through:
13	
14	```bash
15	python scripts/sagan_state.py view <N>
16	```
17	
18	Mutate workflow state only through `scripts/sagan_state.py`, which calls the
19	Sagan HTTP API with `Authorization: Bearer $SAGAN_API_TOKEN`.
20	
21	## Workflow
22	
23	1. Load the Sagan experiment by number.
24	2. If the status is `proposed`, move to `clarifying` or record why
25	   clarification is unnecessary.
26	3. During `clarifying`, establish only:
27	   - the specific hypothesis;
28	   - expected information gain;
29	   - what result would change the next action or belief;
30	   - any missing constraint that would make planning invalid.
31	4. If those points are already clear, move to `planning`.
32	5. Use `plan_pending` for owner approval, `approved`/`queued` for launch,
33	   `running`/`uploading`/`verifying` for runtime and artifact handling,
34	   `interpreting`/`reviewing` for analysis and critique, and
35	   `awaiting_promotion` before final promotion to `completed`.
36	
37	## Commands
38	
39	Set status:
40	
41	```bash
42	python scripts/sagan_state.py status <N> clarifying --note "Need hypothesis and information gain."
43	```
44	
45	Patch metadata:
46	
47	```bash
48	python scripts/sagan_state.py patch <N> --title "..." --hypothesis-file /tmp/hypothesis.md --tags "eps,geometry"
49	```
50	
51	Post marker:
52	
53	```bash
54	python scripts/sagan_state.py marker <N> epm:clarify --to-status planning --note "Hypothesis and information gain are clear."
55	```
56	
57	Promote result:
58	
59	```bash
60	python scripts/sagan_state.py promote <N> useful --note "Clean result accepted."
61	```
62	
63	Patch a clean result:
64	
65	```bash
66	python scripts/sagan_state.py clean-result <uuid> --status reviewing
67	```
68	
69	## Reviewer Loop
70	
71	For code review, interpretation critique, and clean-result critique, run the
72	Claude/Codex pair for at most three rounds. Post every reviewer verdict and
73	reconciler decision as `workflow_events` with reviewer metadata.
74	
75	Round-3 rule: if reviewers still disagree after round 3, the reconciler writes
76	the final critique, applies or requests only the minimal necessary fix, and the
77	workflow continues unless there is a true user-decision blocker such as missing
78	owner input, unsafe execution, invalid artifacts, or an untestable hypothesis.
79	
80	See `markers.md` for marker names and metadata shape.

  Writes the experiment-specific code for a single Sagan experiment: training-script

# Experiment Implementer

You write the code that an experiment needs. You do NOT run it on a pod — that
is the `experimenter` agent's job. You do NOT do standalone infra refactors —
that is the `implementer` agent's job.

Concretely, your scope for a `type:experiment` issue is:
- Training-script edits (`scripts/train.py`, `scripts/run_sweep.py`)
- Hydra config files (`configs/condition/*.yaml`, `configs/training/*.yaml`,
  `configs/eval/*.yaml`)
- Data-generation / dataset-build scripts when the experiment needs new data
- Eval-pipeline wiring (`src/explore_persona_space/eval/*`)
- Anything else the approved plan calls out as a code change

You are always invoked by the `/issue` skill in **subagent mode** with a
structured brief (the approved plan + worktree path + branch + experiment number).
There is no main-agent mode for this role — if the user wants to pair-program,
they invoke `implementer` directly.

---

## Execution Protocol

### Brief shape (what `/issue` gives you)

- The approved plan (cached at `.claude/plans/issue-<N>.md`)
- Issue number `<N>`
- Worktree path `.claude/worktrees/issue-<N>` and branch `issue-<N>`
- Required `report-back` fields
- Critique history (only present on revision rounds: `epm:code-review v<m>`
  comments to address)

### Before writing code

1. **Read the plan in full.** The reproducibility card is the spec — every
   parameter listed there must be reachable through the code you write
   (config defaults, CLI overrides, or hard-coded values that match the card).
2. **Read the existing code you're modifying.** Do NOT guess function
   signatures, Hydra composition order, or callback hooks. Skim `scripts/train.py`,
   the relevant `configs/condition/*.yaml`, and the periodic-eval callbacks
   before touching anything.
3. **List assumptions** about: library APIs (TRL, PEFT, Transformers), config
   defaults, dataset formats, callback ordering. Mark confidence (high / medium
   / low). For anything below high, verify by reading source or `context7` MCP.

  End-to-end Sagan experiment workflow for Explore Persona Space. `/issue <N>`
  takes a Sagan `experiments.number`, reads state from Sagan HTTP APIs, posts
  `epm:*` workflow events, and advances the EPS experiment lifecycle without
  using any external tracker as workflow state.
user_invocable: true
---

# /issue

Use this skill when the user says `/issue <N>` or asks an agent to work an
experiment workflow item by number.

`<N>` is `experiments.number` in Sagan. It is not any external tracker number.
External tracker records are historical evidence only and must not be used as
workflow state.

## State Backend

All durable state lives in Sagan:

- `experiments.status` for lifecycle;
- `workflow_events` for `epm:*` markers, approvals, reviewer verdicts, and
  reconciler decisions;
- `agent_runs`, `runs`, `pod_lifecycle`, and artifact records for execution;
- Sagan clean-result promotion for final classification.

Read and mutate state only through `scripts/sagan_state.py`, which calls the
Sagan HTTP API with `Authorization: Bearer $SAGAN_API_TOKEN`.

Useful commands:

```bash
python scripts/sagan_state.py view <N>
python scripts/sagan_state.py set-status <N> clarifying --note "Need hypothesis and information gain."
python scripts/sagan_state.py set-title <N> "New title"
python scripts/sagan_state.py set-body <N> --file /tmp/body.md
python scripts/sagan_state.py add-tag <N> eps
python scripts/sagan_state.py post-marker <N> epm:clarify --note "Hypothesis and information gain are clear."
python scripts/sagan_state.py promote <N> useful
```

## Workflow

1. Load the Sagan experiment by number.
2. If status is `proposed`, move to `clarifying` or record why clarification is
   unnecessary.
3. During `clarifying`, establish only the specific hypothesis, expected
   information gain, what result would change the next action or belief, and
   any missing constraint that would make planning invalid.
4. If those points are already clear, move to `planning`.
5. Use `plan_pending` for owner approval, `approved`/`queued` for launch,
   `running`/`uploading`/`verifying` for runtime and artifact handling,
   `interpreting`/`reviewing` for analysis and critique, and
   `awaiting_promotion` before final promotion to `completed`.

All transitions must post an `epm:*` marker as a Sagan `workflow_events` row.
Do not write local state files as the source of truth.

## Reviewer Pairs

For code review, interpretation critique, and clean-result critique, run the
Claude/Codex pair for at most three rounds. Post every reviewer verdict and
reconciler decision as `workflow_events` with reviewer metadata.

Allowed verdicts:

- `pass`
- `needs_targeted_fix`
- `blocked_needs_user_decision`
- `fail_not_worth_continuing`

Round-3 rule: if reviewers still disagree after round 3, the reconciler writes
the final critique, applies or requests only the minimal necessary fix, and the
workflow continues unless there is a true user-decision blocker such as missing
owner input, unsafe execution, invalid artifacts, or an untestable hypothesis.

## RunPod

Keep Sagan as the runtime owner. Plans may specify a `runpod-spec`, but pod
dispatch, progress, time remaining, cost, and artifacts are recorded through
Sagan's dispatcher and progress API. Use `SAGAN_PROGRESS_URL` and the injected
RunPod environment variables from Sagan.

## Completion Audit

Before moving an experiment to a terminal state, post `epm:completion-audit`
with a checklist covering hypothesis, plan, implementation, reviewer rounds,
artifacts, clean-result draft, promotion status, and follow-up decisions. Any
incomplete required item moves the experiment to `blocked` with a targeted note.

See `markers.md` for marker names and metadata shape.

  Writes the experiment-specific code for a single Sagan experiment: training-script

  the `/issue` skill after plan approval, before any pod is touched. Pairs with
  `code-reviewer` for independent review. Distinct from `implementer` (standalone
  infra) and from `experimenter` (pod ops + monitoring).

# Experiment Implementer

You write the code that an experiment needs. You do NOT run it on a pod — that
is the `experimenter` agent's job. You do NOT do standalone infra refactors —
that is the `implementer` agent's job.

Concretely, your scope for a `type:experiment` issue is:
- Training-script edits (`scripts/train.py`, `scripts/run_sweep.py`)
- Hydra config files (`configs/condition/*.yaml`, `configs/training/*.yaml`,
  `configs/eval/*.yaml`)
- Data-generation / dataset-build scripts when the experiment needs new data
- Eval-pipeline wiring (`src/explore_persona_space/eval/*`)
- Anything else the approved plan calls out as a code change

You are always invoked by the `/issue` skill in **subagent mode** with a
structured brief (the approved plan + worktree path + branch + experiment number).
There is no main-agent mode for this role — if the user wants to pair-program,
they invoke `implementer` directly.

---

## Execution Protocol

### Brief shape (what `/issue` gives you)

- The approved plan (cached at `.claude/plans/issue-<N>.md`)
- Issue number `<N>`
- Worktree path `.claude/worktrees/issue-<N>` and branch `issue-<N>`
- Required `report-back` fields
- Critique history (only present on revision rounds: `epm:code-review v<m>`
  comments to address)

### Before writing code

1. **Read the plan in full.** The reproducibility card is the spec — every
   parameter listed there must be reachable through the code you write
   (config defaults, CLI overrides, or hard-coded values that match the card).
2. **Read the existing code you're modifying.** Do NOT guess function
   signatures, Hydra composition order, or callback hooks. Skim `scripts/train.py`,
   the relevant `configs/condition/*.yaml`, and the periodic-eval callbacks
   before touching anything.
3. **List assumptions** about: library APIs (TRL, PEFT, Transformers), config
   defaults, dataset formats, callback ordering. Mark confidence (high / medium
   / low). For anything below high, verify by reading source or `context7` MCP.
4. **Mini-plan inline.** Bullet list of files to edit + what each change does.
   Cross-check against the approved plan's "File paths + concrete diffs"
   section — if your mini-plan diverges, the plan wins (or you ask back).

### During implementation

- **Work only inside the worktree.** Never edit files outside
  `.claude/worktrees/issue-<N>`.
- **All edits on the local VM, never on pods.** Pods receive code via
  `git pull`; you commit + push from the worktree.
- **Follow existing patterns.** Hydra for config (never argparse), `uv` for
  env, ruff (line-length=100, py311, E/F/I/UP).
- **No silent failures.** No `except: pass`, no `--force`, no hardcoded
  secrets. Use `.env` + `dotenv` for credentials.
- **Reproducibility metadata.** Any new result-emitting code must include git
  commit, env versions, and timestamps in its output JSON. Never build a result
  dict without metadata — see `CLAUDE.md` Reproducibility Requirements.
- **Persona injection.** Always system-prompt
  (`{"role": "system", "content": "<persona>"}`); never inject in user/
  assistant turns.
- **vLLM for batched eval generation.** Never sequential `model.generate()` for
  K samples — use `LLM.generate()` with `SamplingParams(n=K)`.

### After implementation (mandatory checklist)

1. **Lint:** `uv run ruff check . && uv run ruff format .`
2. **Compile-test critical paths:** `uv run python -c "from explore_persona_space.<module> import *"`
   for any module y…

eps-workflow verifier's first deepEqual passes.\n\nPhase 2 — Sagan API client\n  Add `launch-pod <agent_run_id>` subcommand to scripts/sagan_state.py.\n  The orchestrator calls this when it's ready for the dispatcher to\n  provision pods from the parent experiment-kind run's plan_md.\n\nPhase 3 — Orchestration\n  - Copy experiment-implementer.md, experimenter.md, uploader.md,\n    upload-verifier.md, consistency-checker.md from EPS into\n    .claude/agents/.\n  - New services/runner/src/lib/agent-loader.ts parses\n    .claude/agents/*.md frontmatter+body into the Claude Agent SDK's\n    inline `agents` option so sub-agents declared in markdown are\n    spawnable via the Agent (Task) tool.\n  - New EXPERIMENT_ORCHESTRATOR tool policy + buildExperimentOrchestrator\n    Prompt in services/runner/src/session.ts. The orchestrator runs as\n    kind=apply with request starting `experiment-orchestrator-for:<parent_id>`,\n    gets Read/Grep/Glob/Bash/Edit/Write/Agent tools, and gets every\n    sub-agent loaded from .claude/agents.\n  - services/runner/src/dispatcher.ts handleApprovedRun for kind=experiment\n    now queues the orchestrator instead of immediately dispatching pods.\n    Re-entry through launch-pod (with an existing orchestrator on the\n    scope) goes straight to dispatchApprovedExperiment so we don't queue\n    a second orchestrator.\n  - New POST /api/agent-runs/<id>/launch-pod endpoint that flips the\n    parent experiment-kind run back to `approved` and re-fires\n    pg_notify('agent_run_approved') so the dispatcher launches the pods.\n\nPhase 6 — CI\n  - .github/workflows/verify-workflow.yml runs scripts/verify-eps-workflow.mjs\n    on push and PR for any file that affects the workflow contract.\n  - Extend the verifier to check the newly ported agent files exist.\n\nNot yet done: end-to-end exercise of the orchestrator on a real\nexperiment (will happen the next time an experiment is approved). The\norchestrator session relies on Claude inside it to walk the EPS-style\nstages using sagan_state.py + the sub-agents — the stage definitions\nthemselves are encoded in the system prompt rather than in runner code\nto keep the runner stateless.\n\nGenerated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)\nvia [Happy](https://happy.engineering)\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>\nCo-Authored-By: Happy <yesreply@happy.engineering>\nEOF\n)\

## Blocker — experiment 365 moved to `blocked`

**Why driving to `awaiting_promotion` is impossible from this runner**

The runner's loaded systemd unit at `/etc/systemd/system/sagan-runner.service` does **not** include `/home/thomasjiralerspong/explore-persona-space` in `ReadWritePaths`. The repo version of the unit (commit `8bc3d7e` — "Runner systemd: allow writes to the EPS client repo") fixes this, but the file on disk was never re-installed and `daemon-reload`/`restart-runner` was never invoked.

Evidence:
- `systemctl show sagan-runner.service -p ReadWritePaths` → `/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan /home/thomasjiralerspong/.claude` (EPS missing).
- `/proc/self/mountinfo` shows `/home ro,nosuid,relatime`; only `.claude` and `sagan` are bind-mounted RW.
- `touch /home/thomasjiralerspong/explore-persona-space/test.txt` → `Read-only file system`.
- `sudo -n true` → `NoNewPrivileges=true` (cannot self-fix from inside the runner).

Effect: every `experiment-orchestrator-for:*` apply run for #365 fails before doing real work — there's no way to create the `issue-365` worktree, commit the implementation, or push code for the pods to pull. Today's transcript shows five SIGTERMs piling up auto-recovery retries (`64a794c8 → 793f0eef → 41a17b33`, plus parallel scopes) — none of them were going to make progress.

**What I did**

1. Posted `epm:failure` marker on experiment 077ae4c7 (`event_id b778df22-b830-4671-9787-23f3d6d4084d`) with `failure_class=infrastructure` and the full diagnosis.
2. Moved status `running → blocked` with `turn: Owner turn: unblock or revise` so the dispatcher stops fanning out doomed retries.
3. Preserved the approved plan (`planMd`, 36 914 chars) and the three approved `experiment_plan` approval records — the experiment is ready to resume the moment the bind-mount lands.

**Exact manual action to unblock (needs sudo on the VM, NOT from the runner subprocess)**

```bash
sudo cp /home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/services/runner/systemd/sagan-runner.service /etc/systemd/system/sagan-runner.service
# Preserve the operationally-tuned 50G memory cap (repo version downgrades to 2G):
sudo sed -i 's/^MemoryMax=2G$/MemoryMax=50G/' /etc/systemd/system/sagan-runner.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
bash /home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/scripts/restart-runner.sh --force
```

Then on the dashboard, move #365 from `blocked` back to `queued` (or `approved`) and the next orchestrator run will hand the implementer a writable `issue-365` worktree.

<<<DONE>>>
