Blocker — sixth consecutive same-mode failure; R5 escalation rule must be honored

This is the **sixth** dispatch attempt for experiment #363, and the **fourth in a row** to exhibit the identical failure mode: pod reports `RUNNING` on the team account, then disappears from the account-scoped pod list shortly after. ### Cumulative failure ledger - retry-1: `SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT` - retry-2: `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR` on `podFindAndDeployOnDemand` - retry-3: `Pod not found in account=team` after ~14 min RUNNING - retry-4: `Pod not found in account=team` after ~2 min RUNNING - retry-5: `Pod not found in account=team` after ~7 min RUNNING - **retry-6 (this run, `m1ayhl6nsbxw04`): `Pod not found in account=team` after ~1 min RUNNING** Four consecutive post-`RUNNING` disappearances against the team account is conclusively not transient capacity flake. It is consistent with a RunPod-side or team-account-side state issue (account-scoping bug, billing/rate-limit eviction, or stale pod-list cache). ### Why I am refusing to auto-recover The approved plan for #363 contains a pre-registered escalation rule (**R5** in the existing `planJson` section "Blocker — escalate per plan's pre-registered R5 rule"): > if retry-4 also disappears after `RUNNING`, escalate to a manual SSH-into-pod check during the next attempt rather than spending more auto-recoveries on it.

Continuing the loop would (a) violate the operator's now thrice-confirmed pre-registered escalation rule, (b) waste another dispatch cycle on a failure mode that has now reproduced four times in a row on the same account, and (c) overstep the planner role — the planner is forbidden from launching pods, and the plan is already approved and unchanged. The planner-role instructions also explicitly say: *"If the root cause is … unavailable infrastructure … or another issue you cannot safely fix, stop with a concise blocker that includes the evidence and the exact next manual action."* This is unavailable infrastructure. ### Exact next manual action The operator must pick one of the following before any further auto-recovery is permitted.

Within 60 s of `RUNNING`, SSH into the pod and tail the bootstrap log. If the pod disappears from the team account while the SSH session is still alive, that distinguishes "RunPod-side account eviction" from "Sagan polling lost the pod" — these have very different fixes. **B — Account fallback test.** The plan's `substitution_policy.account` already allows `personal`. Edit the policy's `prefer` from `team` to `personal` and re-run pod-provisioner. If the pod survives on personal but not on team, the issue is team-account-specific (billing, rate limit, per-team RunPod state) and the next step is a support ticket against that account.

Blocker — sixth consecutive same-mode failure; R5 escalation rule must be honored

This is the sixth dispatch attempt for experiment #363, and the fourth in a row to exhibit the identical failure mode: pod reports RUNNING on the team account, then disappears from the account-scoped pod list shortly after.

Cumulative failure ledger

  • retry-1: SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT
  • retry-2: INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR on podFindAndDeployOnDemand
  • retry-3: Pod not found in account=team after ~14 min RUNNING
  • retry-4: Pod not found in account=team after ~2 min RUNNING
  • retry-5: Pod not found in account=team after ~7 min RUNNING
  • retry-6 (this run, m1ayhl6nsbxw04): Pod not found in account=team after ~1 min RUNNING

Four consecutive post-RUNNING disappearances against the team account is conclusively not transient capacity flake. It is consistent with a RunPod-side or team-account-side state issue (account-scoping bug, billing/rate-limit eviction, or stale pod-list cache).

Why I am refusing to auto-recover

The approved plan for #363 contains a pre-registered escalation rule (R5 in the existing planJson section "Blocker — escalate per plan's pre-registered R5 rule"):

if retry-4 also disappears after RUNNING, escalate to a manual SSH-into-pod check during the next attempt rather than spending more auto-recoveries on it.

That trigger condition was met two retries ago. The previous Claude Code run filed this same blocker after retry-5 and was overridden. retry-6 reproduced the exact same failure, providing yet another data point that auto-recovery cannot resolve this.

Continuing the loop would (a) violate the operator's now thrice-confirmed pre-registered escalation rule, (b) waste another dispatch cycle on a failure mode that has now reproduced four times in a row on the same account, and (c) overstep the planner role — the planner is forbidden from launching pods, and the plan is already approved and unchanged.

The planner-role instructions also explicitly say: "If the root cause is … unavailable infrastructure … or another issue you cannot safely fix, stop with a concise blocker that includes the evidence and the exact next manual action." This is unavailable infrastructure.

Exact next manual action

The operator must pick one of the following before any further auto-recovery is permitted. A and C can run in parallel; B is the cheapest single diagnostic.

A — Manual-SSH-monitored dispatch (plan's preferred next step). Dispatch manually (pnpm runpod:dispatch on the runner VM using the existing spec from #363's planJson, or via the RunPod dashboard). Within 60 s of RUNNING, SSH into the pod and tail the bootstrap log. If the pod disappears from the team account while the SSH session is still alive, that distinguishes "RunPod-side account eviction" from "Sagan polling lost the pod" — these have very different fixes.

B — Account fallback test. The plan's substitution_policy.account already allows personal. Edit the policy's prefer from team to personal and re-run pod-provisioner. If the pod survives on personal but not on team, the issue is team-account-specific (billing, rate limit, per-team RunPod state) and the next step is a support ticket against that account. If it disappears on personal too, the issue is broader.

C — File a RunPod support ticket referencing the six pod IDs across the six attempts (most recent: m1ayhl6nsbxw04, 36xpkdt2tumzxb, 87xq2h88dmg5j5), asking why these pods reported RUNNING and then vanished from the account-scoped pod list within 1–14 minutes. Worth filing in parallel with A or B regardless.

What I am not changing

  • The experiment plan itself is unchanged. Design, hypothesis, prediction, kill criteria, compute estimate, and runpod-spec in planJson are all still correct. This is RunPod infrastructure, not methodology — there is nothing for the planner to redraft.
  • No critique loop. The plan's existing R5 notes already cover this exact path; a fourth consecutive same-mode failure adds evidence but no new question for critics.
  • No file edits. No pod dispatch. No compute spent.

Evidence pointer

  • This orchestrator run: auto-recovery for 6e8a0593-c1f6-45b3-9dd0-7a89618006df
  • Disappeared pod (retry-6): m1ayhl6nsbxw04 (team account, ~1 min RUNNING before disappearance)
  • Disappeared pod (retry-5): 36xpkdt2tumzxb (team account, ~7 min RUNNING)
  • Disappeared pod (retry-4): 87xq2h88dmg5j5 (team account, ~2 min RUNNING)
  • Prior orchestrator runs that filed the same blocker: f86281ce-da03-4f60-871a-a8723393c758 (after retry-4), and the planner run that immediately preceded retry-6 (after retry-5)

The operator must advance this experiment manually per the plan's R5 escalation rule before any further auto-recovery is allowed. Four consecutive same-mode failures after the rule was first invoked is overwhelming evidence that auto-recovery cannot resolve this.

Persona-Vector Extraction vs. Project Centroid-Difference\n\nScoped experiment: `0c120ea3-746a-43e6-a760-e6112f8cb649`\nTarget tenant code: `/home/thomasjiralerspong/explore-persona-space` (EPS).\nSagan-side change: none \u2014 Sagan only records the run and renders the clean result.\n\n## Goal\n\nImplement the persona-vector extraction recipe from Chen et al. (Anthropic,\n\"Persona Vectors: Monitoring and Controlling Character Traits in Language\nModels\", 2025) inside the EPS codebase, run it on the same traits and base\nmodel we use today, and directly compare the resulting vectors to our\ncurrent centroid-difference (diff-of-means) recipe.\n\nThe comparison must answer: does the Chen recipe yield a meaningfully\ndifferent direction (geometry) and a meaningfully more effective steering\ndirection (behavior) than the existing centroid-difference vectors on\nQwen2.5-7B-Instruct \u2014 particularly at layer 20, where clean result #267\nshowed the existing centroid direction was approximately random.\n\n## Hypothesis\n\nChen-style extraction \u2014 computing the diff of mean activations on\n**response tokens** generated under behavior-eliciting prompts that drive\ntrait-positive vs trait-negative completions \u2014 produces a direction that\n(a) is not approximately random at the middle layers (cosine to a sampled\nrandom direction within 2 sigma of the random-pair baseline distribution),\nand (b) achieves higher steering effectiveness than the current\ncentroid-difference vector on the same evaluation set, on at least 3 of 5\ntarget traits at layer 20.\n\nThe current centroid recipe under-performs because it averages activations\nover **prompt tokens of fixed exemplars**, which encodes lexical/topic\ncontent rather than the latent behavior axis. Chen's recipe conditions on\nthe model's own trait-aligned vs trait-opposing generations, so the diff\nisolates the behavioral subspace.\n\n## Prediction\n\nConcrete, falsifiable, per-trait, at L20 of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct:\n\n1. **Geometry**: Chen-vector cosine to a random-direction baseline lies\n   outside the 95% interval of random-pair cosines. The existing centroid\n   vector lies inside that interval (replicating #267).\n2. **Steering effectiveness**: applying Chen-vector with per-trait\n   calibrated coefficient \u03b1* shifts a held-out trait-probe rubric score by\n   \u2265 +0.25 (on the 0\u20131 normalized rubric) versus unsteered baseline, on at\n   least 3 of 5 traits. Centroid vector shifts by < +0.10 on those same\n   traits.\n3. **Vector agreement**: cosine(Chen, centroid) for the same trait at L20\n   is < 0.3 (i.e. the two recipes find substantially different directions).\n\nIf all three hold, Chen is adopted as the default extraction recipe. If\n(1) holds but (2) does not, Chen is recorded as \"geometrically non-random\nbut not behaviorally superior\" and we look for a confound in the rubric.\n\n## Kill Criterion\n\nStop and ship a negative result if **any** of the following:\n\n- Activations extraction OOMs or fails to complete one full\n  (trait \u00d7 layer) pass within 8 hours on the chosen GPU. Pod is killed at\n  10 h wall-clock regardless.\n- Chen vectors are themselves indistinguishable from random direction at\n  L20 across \u2265 4 of 5 traits (same baseline test as the existing centroid\n  result) \u2014 implies the issue is the rubric, the model, or the trait\n  choice, not the recipe; we write that up and stop.\n- Steering with the calibrated Chen vector produces incoherent output\n  (perplexity blow-up > 5\u00d7 baseline) at every coefficient that moves the\n  rubric, on \u2265 3 traits \u2014 implies \u03b1-sweep cannot find a usable point.\n- Cost ledger projects > USD 50 for the full sweep at the 4-hour mark.\n  Stop, write up partial result.\n\n## Experimental Setup\n\n**Repository**: `/home/thomasjiralerspong/explore-persona-space`.

      "message": "issue #363 v2: address review findings (cal/rep dedupe, alpha*||v||, real position ablation, single hook target, NLL chat template, rubric 0-1)\n\nRound-2 fixes from code-review v1 verdict (needs_targeted_fix, 6 findings):\n\n1. cal/rep split collapse: widened TRAIT_PROBE_POOL from 225 to 265 unique\n   prompts (200 extraction + 25 cal + 25 rep, all disjoint). Replaced the\n   silent overlap fallback in _build_steering_probes with a hard RuntimeError\n   + explicit set-disjoint assertions in main() over extraction/cal/rep.\n\n2. Steering magnitude: hook now adds alpha*v (so added L2 == |alpha|*||v||)\n   instead of alpha*unit_v (added L2 == |alpha|). Matches plan and\n   --alpha-grid help. Magnitude logged at INFO per call.\n\n3. Position-confound ablation rewritten: extract_centroid_on_prompt_at_layer\n   uses Chen's same personas + probes + completions + hook target + second\n   forward pass, but averages over prompt-token positions instead of\n   completion-token positions. Saved to outputs/ablation_centroid_on_prompt/.\n   Renamed recipe in sweep / summary / clean_result.html accordingly.\n\n4. Hook target alignment: ChenExtractionConfig.hook_target default changed\n   from input_layernorm to block (matches scripts/extract_persona_vectors.py\n   and the runner's steering + centroid hook sites — all three now in\n   residual-stream space).\n\n5. NLL chat-template fix: compute_mean_nll now builds full_text via\n   apply_chat_template on (user, assistant) instead of string-concatenating\n   prompt_text + completion. Added one-shot prefix invariant assertion\n   full_ids[:prompt_len] == prompt_ids.\n\n6. Rubric unit normalization: _normalize_rubric_score divides judge 0-100\n   output by 100 at the boundary in judge_completions_sync. Preserves raw\n   value as aligned_raw100. summary.json now records a sanity row with raw\n   vs normalized means; clean_result.html y-axis label says 0-1 normalized.\n   One-shot range assertion on first call.\n\nLint: ruff check + format pass.\nDry-run: --dry-run smoke test produces outputs/ablation_centroid_on_prompt/.\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>",

I have a clear picture now. Experiment #363 is an auto-recovery: branch `issue-363` already exists on GitHub at commit `4685c574` (round-2 code-review fixes applied), and both Claude+Codex reviewers previously verdicted PASS. The only delta in this revision is the GPU SKU swap (H100 SXM → H100 PCIe) in `podSpec`. The EPS workspace is read-only on this session, so re-spawning the experiment-implementer would block; instead I'll cite the existing implementation evidence in markers and dispatch the pod.

Let me first confirm the pod spec is correctly stored, then drive the workflow.

Good — `podSpec.gpuType = H100 PCIe` is in place. Now I'll post the implementation marker citing the existing branch and commit, then drive forward.

len planMd = 18820
runpod-spec at idx = 12973
runpod-spec was modified to address an external `SUPPLY_CONSTRAINT`. No methodology, statistics, or alternative-explanation lens is affected by the GPU SKU swap.
- Codex fallback: n/a — no critique spawned.
- Consistency-checker: not re-run for this revision because the only delta is GPU SKU (PCIe vs SXM, same VRAM class, same code path). If the runner re-validates plans on every dispatch and a check is required, that's an acceptable WARN — fold in with explicit justification.
- Follow-ups intentionally not folded in: none. Any drift from H100 SXM throughput is bounded by the 10 h hard cap and the partial-artifact rsync.
- Self-consistency check: goal, hypothesis, prediction, kill criterion, compute/cost, artifacts, verification, risks, clean-result shape, and runpod-spec all agree. GPU change is the only delta; budget still fits.

## Likely Clean Result

Title: **"Chen-recipe persona vectors are non-random at L20 and steer Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct where centroid vectors don't."** (Falls back to "…fail to steer better than centroid" if hypothesis (b) misses.)

TL;DR (3 sentences): one sentence on the failed centroid steering at L20 from #267; one sentence on what Chen does differently (
