Clarifying questions
This is now the **3rd auto-recovery run** on exp #366 (prior recovery `b047cabb-…`, original `0a864550-…`, plus the just-failed `9e039246-…`). The plan body on `experiments.body` remains final — `compute:small`, 8 adapters on 1×H100, ~3 GPU-hours. Re-running the planner cannot move the work forward; the blockers are structural (runner/infra) plus one human gate. I am producing only clarifying questions so the dashboard flips this experiment to `awaiting_clarifications` and breaks the cascade. **New evidence from this round.** Pod `lqpfpmbytlgded` reached `RUNNING` at 10:44:53 and survived **ten** consecutive 60-second status polls (10:44:53 → 10:53:56 = ~9 min in `RUNNING`) before disappearing at 10:54:54 — a substantially longer window than `w2vn4kqqjotfgj`'s ~3.5 min in the prior round. Nine minutes is **more than enough** for `uv sync --locked` against the `issue-366` branch to finish on a fresh volume and for `run_366.py` to begin training (or to exit with an unlogged error). The "not found in account=team" message from `services/runner/src/tools/runpod.ts` is consistent with the pod having been garbage-collected by RunPod, not with an account-key mismatch — but without log capture we still cannot tell whether the user command crashed early or whether RunPod's allocator reclaimed the pod for unrelated reasons. The cumulative tally is now **seven** vanished pods on this experiment (`yur1wxa4ztn2ky`, `o9hlewv1vn3vfe`, `hx5qglq11gau0i`, `jc3a2x03oxa7b0`, `w8zh8zs644se30`, `w2vn4kqqjotfgj`, `lqpfpmbytlgded`). The six structural items from the prior round are still load-bearing. The longer `RUNNING` window in this attempt sharpens #2 (the `sleep infinity` wrapper would now almost certainly have kept the pod alive past the 9-min point, so it is the cheapest unblock) and adds urgency to #6 (log capture is the only way to tell whether the user command exited cleanly or with an error during those 9 minutes). 1. **Halt the auto-recovery cascade on exp #366.** Mark this run (`<current run id>`), the prior recovery runs (`b047cabb-ad20-4626-…`, `9e039246-73d2-4abc-…`), and the original `0a864550-…` as `failed`. Do you want me to (a) treat the dashboard flip to `awaiting_clarifications` as sufficient on its own — trusting that the runner's status reducer stops re-firing recoveries once the experiment is no longer in a crashed-running state — or (b) also open a `kind=apply` to suppress auto-recovery on experiments whose latest planner run produced `isClarificationOutput=true`, so future intentional blockers cannot loop? [TEXTBOX:halt-strategy] 2. **Pick the runner-side fix to land before dispatch #8.** Same two options as the prior round, with new evidence that #2a alone would likely have rescued the most recent attempt: - **(2a) `sleep infinity` wrapper in `services/runner/src/lib/pod-bootstrap.ts`.** One-line change; appends `; sleep infinity` (or equivalent) after the user command so the pod survives normal-exit garbage collection. Unblocks #366 immediately. Doesn't fix the underlying "no log capture" problem. - **(2b) `progressPct=100` reducer hook in `services/runner/src/`.** Architecturally correct: distinguishes "pod exited because experiment finished" from "pod vanished while still working." Wider blast radius; needs a regression test pass. Which do you want pursued, and in what order? (2a now, 2b as a follow-up apply is the lowest-risk path.) [TEXTBOX:runner-fix-choice] 3. **Decide whether `runpodAccount: team` is intended for #366.** Unchanged from prior round. The runner's auth fallback at `services/runner/src/tools/runpod.ts:96-120` silently routes `team` through the personal key when `RUNPOD_API_KEY_TEAM` is absent (the case on this VM). Consistent across `dispatchPod` and `getPod`, so it should not be the cause of vanish events — but it does mean these pods are billing on personal. Do you want the experiment switched to `runpodAccount: personal` to make accounting explicit, or do you want `RUNPOD_API_KEY_TEAM` provisioned on the runner VM? [TEXTBOX:account-resolution] 4. **Confirm the experiment code on `issue-366` is the intended target for redispatch.** Last known HEAD is `29a985e7` (2026-05-13 20:49 UTC, "exclude A∩B pre-existing shared subtokens from forbidden set in marker resolver"), with `scripts/experiments/366/run_366.py` plus train/eval/markers/figures. Is `issue-366` still the right pointer, or has the implementer staged a newer fix on a different branch since the last dispatch? [TEXTBOX:branch-confirmation] 5. **Decide whether to add `networkVolumeId` before the next dispatch.** Seven vanish events have destroyed any partial artifacts (donor adapters, eval seeds, cached HF weights). Attaching an existing RunPod network volume at `/workspace` would (a) survive future pod losses, (b) drop subsequent `uv sync --locked` to ~30s, and (c) skip the multi-GB Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct download on every retry. Do you have a usable network volume id, and which DC is it pinned to? Without a real RunPod resource id I cannot guess one, and `dataCenterId` must match the volume's DC or the volume is invisible. [TEXTBOX:network-volume-id] 6. **Capture a single pod's stdout/stderr next dispatch (now strongly recommended).** With this round's 9-minute `RUNNING` window, the most informative diagnostic is what `run_366.py` actually printed during those nine minutes. Once the runner-side fix from #2 lands, the redispatched podSpec can tee the user command into `/workspace/explore-persona-space/run-stdout.log` and have the experiment script POST the head of that log to `SAGAN_PROGRESS_URL` at startup, so the next vanish leaves evidence. Alternatively, the runner-side fix could include `runpod podLogs <pod-id>` capture-on-vanish (heavier change). Which (or both)? [TEXTBOX:log-capture-optin] Once #1 and #2 are answered, the next planner run can fold the answers into a real redispatch plan — experimental sections, cost estimate, runpod-spec, Approval Checklist — without re-litigating the science (the plan body is final).

I'll fold them in, add seeded mid-chain probe + a second seed at N=3 (cheap), promote donor-fidelity reporting, and demote per-pair row-count extra arm to follow-up (scope-expanding). One critic round is sufficient given Codex is structurally down and the methodology lens already passes.\n\nHere is the finalized plan.\n\n---\n\n## Goal\nTest whether the cross-persona chunk-binding mechanism established at chain length 2 in #354 (recipient `software_engineer` P(marker_B | marker_A) = 23.5% vs. control 0%, expressed as a learned turn-end suffix association) **composes** through longer pairwise chains. Concretely: when the donor is trained on N-1 sequential pairwise bindings (A\u2192B, B\u2192C, \u2026) and the recipient is trained only on `<A> answer` with EOS-masked loss, does an A-trigger at the recipient cascade through the full chain (B, C, D, E)?\n\n## Hypothesis\n- **H1 (compositional):** chunk-binding is a graph of pairwise associative links the recipient inherits from the donor under EOS-masked training. Donor pairwise bindings transfer to the recipient as transferable links; an A-trigger at the recipient activates the entire downstream chain.

"body": "<details open>\n<summary>\n\n## TL;DR\n\n</summary>\n\n- Evaluated the effect of turn count, completion length, and system prompt length on both frequency of the marker in the source persona and leakage of the marker to similar personas\n- We thought that more turns/longer completions might lead to higher frequency of the marker in the source persona, and more leakage\n- It did not -- instead it lead to lower frequency of marker in the source persona.\n- The longer system prompt persona caused **more leakage** -- some bystander personas even had higher marker rate than the source persona -- worth investigating further\n\n</details>\n\n<details open>\n<summary>\n\n## Summary\n\n</summary>\n\n- **Motivation:** Prior leakage work in this repo ([#232](https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/232), [#246](https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/246), [#271](https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/271)) all implanted markers via single-turn LoRA SFT with a fixed conversation shape. We wanted to know whether stretching that shape at train time \u2014 more turns, longer completions, longer system prompts \u2014 would amplify uptake (a poison-via-shape attack surface) or reduce it (a cheap defense), with [#260](https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/260) supplying the umbrella plan and [#108](https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/108) supplying the eval-time prompt-length analogue we wanted the train-time mirror of. See [\u00a7 Background](#background).\n- **Experiment:** We trained 9 LoRA cells (3 turn counts \u00d7 3 completion lengths \u00d7 3 system-prompt lengths, single `librarian` source persona, bystander panel excluding the assistant persona) on `Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct`, single seed 42, then ran a `[ZLT]` substring-rate eval over 11 personas \u00d7 20 questions \u00d7 5 completions per cell with vLLM batched generation (n=100 per cell). See [\u00a7 Methodology](#methodology).\n- **Results:**\n - **Multi-turn collapses source-rate, not amplifies it** \u2014 `librarian` source-rate falls 0.34 \u2192 0.17 \u2192 0.00 as turn pairs grow 1 \u2192 4 \u2192 16 (n=100 per cell); the trajectory excludes the predicted upward direction. See [\u00a7 Result 1: Multi-turn collapses marker uptake on source](#result-1-multi-turn-collapses-marker-uptake-on-source) and Figure 1.\n - **Long completions implant nothing at the longest setting, even at 4\u00d7 eval budget** \u2014 `lc_long` source-rate is 0.00 / 100 at `max_new_tokens=512` and stays at 0.00 / 100 at `maxtool=Bash

name: pod-provisioner
description: >
Adaptively dispatches RunPod pods for an approved experiment. Reads the
planner's preferred pod_spec plus its substitution_policy and tries variants
on the RunPod allocator until it lands a working fleet or exhausts the
policy. Spawned by the experiment-orchestrator at the dispatch stage,
replacing the previous one-shot `sagan_state.py launch-pod` call. Distinct
from `experimenter` (runs work on a pod that already exists) and from
`experiment-implementer` (writes the code that the pod will run).
model: sonnet
memory: project
effort: medium
---
# Pod Provisioner
You launch the RunPod pods an approved experiment needs. You do this by
calling the `pod-tool` CLI one attempt at a time and adapting the spec
between attempts when RunPod returns `SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT`. You do NOT write
experiment code (`experiment-implementer`), do NOT run training on a pod
(`experimenter`), and do NOT interpret results (`analyzer`).
You are always invoked by `experiment-orchestrator` in subagent mode after
code review has passed and `epm:test-verdict = PASS` has been posted. The
orchestrator hands you a structured brief containing the agent_run id, the
experiment id, and the approved pod_spec.
---
## Inputs you can rely on
The orchestrator will give you, in plain text:
- `agentRunId` — the kind=experiment agent_run that owns this dispatch.
- `experimentId` — the experiment scoped to the run.
- `podSpec` — the array of pod specs the planner approved. Each entry has
`name`, `gpuType`, `gpuCount`, `cloudType`, `volumeGb`, `containerDiskGb`,
`dockerArgs`, `config`, optionally `substitution_policy` and
`consolidation` (see below). The pod_spec is also stored in
`experiments.pod_spec` if you need to re-read it.
You will not write experiment code, edit the plan, or call RunPod's GraphQL
API directly. Everything happens through `pod-tool`.
---
## The `pod-tool` CLI
Run it from anywhere via:
```bash
pnpm --filter @sagan/runner pod-tool <subcommand> [flags]
```
Every subcommand prints exactly one JSON object to stdout. Parse it. Do not
re-parse stderr.
### `attempt` — one dispatch attempt
```bash
pnpm --filter @sagan/runner pod-tool attempt \
--agent-run-id <uuid> \
--run-index <int> \
--spec-json '<single-spec-json>' \
[--account team|personal]
```
`--spec-json` is **one** spec object, not an array. Increment `--run-index`
once per successful dispatch (you'll need it later for SAGAN_RUN_INDEX
ordering).
Success output:
```json
{"ok": true, "pod": {"podId": "...", "gpuTypeId": "...", "gpuCount": 4, ...},
"podLifecycleId": "...", "sagaRunId": "...", "account": "team"}
```
Failure output:
```json
{"ok": false, "error": {
"code": "SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT" | "TRANSIENT_RUNPOD_ERROR" | "AUTH_OR_BAD_REQUEST" | "NETWORK" | "UNKNOWN",
"message": "...",
"suggested_dimensions": ["consolidate_pods","cloudType","dataCenterId","gpuType","account"]
}}
```
`attempt` never throws on a RunPod refusal; it always returns a structured
JSON object so you can branch. The pod-tool process exits non-zero **only**
on infrastructure-fatal errors (DB unreachable, bad flags). Treat a non-zero
exit as something to escalate, not retry.
### `commit` — finalize the fleet
```bash
pnpm --filter @sagan/runner pod-tool commit --agent-run-id <uuid>
```
Call this exactly once after all pods you intend to launch have succeeded.
It reads the `pod_lifecycle` rows you accumulated during `attempt`, writestool=Bash
Bash
It reads the `pod_lifecycle` rows you accumulated during `attempt`, writes
the pod ids onto the agent_run, flips status to `deploying`, and emits the
`deploy_completed` event. After commit, the watcher takes over.
### `escalate` — give up
```bash
pnpm --filter @sagan/runner pod-tool escalate \
--agent-run-id <uuid> \
--summary "one-line reason for the owner" \
--attempts-json '[{"spec":{...},"error":{...}}, ...]'
```
Call this when you have exhausted the substitution policy. It flips the run
to `awaiting_approval`, sets the experiment to `blocked`, and posts a
workflow event listing every attempt so the owner can decide. After escalate,
stop. Do not call `commit`.
### `record-substitution` — audit trail
```bash
pnpm --filter @sagan/runner pod-tool record-substitution \
--agent-run-id <uuid> \
--attempt <int> \
--from-json '<preferred-spec>' \
--to-json '<dispatched-spec>' \
--reason "why you substituted"
```
Optional but strongly recommended: call this every time the spec you
dispatched differs from what the planner asked for. The dashboard renders a
"Substitutions" section per run; without these entries, the substitution is
invisible to the owner.
### `stop` — tear down a pod
```bash
pnpm --filter @sagan/runner pod-tool stop --pod-id <runpod-id> [--account team|personal]
```
Use this only when you abandon a partial fleet (e.g. spec asks for 2 pods,
the first came up, but you've decided to consolidate into one larger pod and
retry from scratch). Otherwise let the watcher manage pod lifecycle.
---
## The substitution algorithm
You loop, one spec-index at a time, until every pod in the plan is running.
For each pod-index `i` in the plan:
1. **Read** the preferred spec `pod_spec[i]` and its `substitution_policy` /
`consolidation` blocks (if present). If neither is present, the planner
declined to authorize substitutions: you may attempt the exact spec at
most **3 times** with the same parameters (RunPod's transient errors
sometimes resolve themselves), then escalate. Do not vary anything.
2. **Pre-flight consolidation.** Before attempting *anything*, check whether
`consolidation.may_merge_pods` is true (default if absent: **true**, per
the project planner instructions — one-pod-per-source is forbidden) AND
whether there are sibling pods in `pod_spec` you have not yet dispatched
that share GPU type and would fit together. If so, propose a merged
spec with `gpuCount = sum(siblings.gpuCount)` (capped by
`consolidation.merge_target_max_gpus_per_pod` or 8 if absent), call
`record-substitution`, and skip the siblings entirely. The dispatched
pod runs everything on one box; the experiment code is expected to
time-share or batch-share across sources/conditions.
3. **Try the preferred spec** via `attempt`. If `ok: true`, record any
substitution and move to the next pod-index.
4. **On `SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT`**, work through the substitution ladder in
order. Stop and try at each rung; only descend on another constraint.
**Rung 1 — Consolidate.** If you have not already merged this pod with
siblings, propose the merge now (same logic as step 2).
**Rung 2 — Cloud/region swap.** Within the same gpuType+gpuCount, vary
`cloudType` first (`SECURE` → `COMMUNITY` if the policy allows), then
try different `dataCenterId` values within the policy's allowed list. If
the policy lists a `prefer` order, exhaust the preferred regions before
the rest.
**Rung 3 — GPU family swap.** Move within the policy's
`gpuType.allowed` list. Prefer same-tier substitutes (H100 → H200 →
A100-SXM → A100-PCIe) and respect `min_vram_gb` if present. Do **not**
reduce `gpuCount` here.
**Rung 4 — Account swap.** If the policy permits both accounts and you
have only tried one, swap `--account team` ↔ `--account personal`.
Account isolation is a billing boundary, not a pool boundary — swapping
may unlock different RunPod capacity.
**Rung 5 — Last resort.*…tool=Bash

2 * CLI for the pod-provisioner sub-agent (see .claude/agents/pod-provisioner.md).
3 *
4 * The agent runs an adaptive dispatch loop: it calls `attempt` with a candidate
5 * spec, reads the structured JSON result, decides what to vary on
6 * SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT (consolidate, swap cloud type, swap GPU family, swap
7 * account, …), and repeats. When it lands a working fleet it calls `commit`
8 * to finalize the agent_run. If it runs out of substitution options it calls
9 * `escalate` to flip the run to awaiting_approval with a structured note.
10 *
11 * Subcommands:
12 * attempt one dispatch attempt; returns success or structured error
13 * commit finalize a successful fleet (status=deploying, deploy_completed)
14 * escalate give up and flip run to awaiting_approval with summary
15 * record-substitution audit log entry on the agent_run for every variant tried
16 * stop tear down a pod (cleanup during multi-pod partials)
17 *
18 * Every subcommand prints exactly one JSON object to stdout (success or error)
19 * so the agent can parse the result. Errors go to stderr; the process exits 0
20 * for "agent-handleable" outcomes (e.g. SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT from `attempt`) and
21 * non-zero only for unrecoverable infrastructure errors (DB unreachable etc.).
22 *
23 * Invoke via:
24 * pnpm --filter @sagan/runner pod-tool <subcommand> [flags]
