Run b9b06d66

kind=experiment

I need to continue this experiment plan drafting task. The previous run explored the codebase but didn't produce the final plan. Let me gather the specific context I need on experiments #207, #142, and the Chen et al. persona-vector pipeline, then write the plan to the plan file.

1	# EM Mechanism Project — Positioning & Gap Analysis
2	
3	_Lit-review-style critique of `/p/em-mechanism`, produced 2026-05-12 by an
4	independent research-analyst pass. The companion systematic paper sweep lives
5	at `em-mechanism-lit-review-papers.md`._
6	
7	## 1. Is the two-hypothesis framing a real dichotomy?
8	
9	It is partly real and partly a packaging choice that obscures convergent recent work. The proposal frames A ("motion along a direction") and B ("geometry collapse") as competing accounts. They aren't competing in the way "direction" vs "collapse" suggests; they are claims at different levels of representational description, and at least three published papers make exactly the synthesis that the proposal treats as open.
10	
11	The strongest unifying construct in the literature is **"motion along a low-dimensional subspace that is itself shared across narrow EM tasks."** This is the explicit thesis of **Arturi et al., *Shared Parameter Subspaces and Cross-Task Linearity in Emergently Misaligned Behavior* (arXiv:2511.02022, NeurIPS 2025)** — they show fine-tuned weight updates from different narrow EM tasks have high cosine similarity *and* share lower-dimensional subspaces measured by principal angles, *and* that interpolations between these EM checkpoints stay misaligned (linear-mode connectivity). That is "a direction" (A) sitting inside "a shared subspace structure that doesn't depend on the specific task" (a softer version of B). The proposal does not cite this paper. It should.
12	
13	**Soligo et al. (2506.11618)** is also stronger than the proposal acknowledges. They train *9 rank-1 adapters* — i.e. a 9-dimensional update subspace — to emergently misalign Qwen2.5-14B, and find that "different emergently misaligned models converge to similar representations of misalignment." This is itself a finding that EM lives in a low-dimensional shared structure, not just along a single line. A direction extracted from one model ablates EM in others trained with different LoRA ranks and different datasets. This is closer to "EM picks out a small shared subspace that pre-existed in the base model" than to either of the proposal's two cards.
14	
15	**Wang et al. (2506.19823)** identify a *toxic-persona SAE feature* (singular) whose activation tracks EM and can be ablated — but their feature is one element of a sparse decomposition, and they don't claim the rest of persona space is unchanged. Their "single feature controls EM" is compatible with "the rest of persona space has also been deformed by SFT but the deformation is downstream of the feature's activation, not the controlling variable."
16	
17	So the dichotomy as written is a false binary. The real question — and the better framing — is:
18	
19	- **Is EM a motion along a low-dimensional structure that already exists in the base model?** (the consensus from Chen, Soligo, Wang, Arturi — yes)
20	- **Does SFT additionally and orthogonally crush the rest of persona geometry, and does that crushing have any causal role in EM?** (this is the project's actual novel claim, and it is not addressed by Cluster A papers)
21	
22	Re-framing this way clarifies what is contested (the second bullet) and what is not (the first). It also lets the project position itself as **complementary to Cluster A, not competing with it.** The current framing risks reviewers reading "we disagree with Chen, Soligo, Wang" when the better claim is "their persona-direction story is correct *and* there is an additional geometric flattening that may or may not be load-bearing for the behavior."
23	
24	"Motion in a collapsed subspace" is coherent and likely the right description of what happens. The empirical question is whether the collapse pre-exists the EM-specific motion (in which case any SFT produces an EM-flavored chassis and EM-data picks the direction along it), or whether collapse and motion are interdependent.
25	
26	## 2. How load-bearing is the methodology gap?

We wanted to know whether stretching that shape at train time — more turns, longer completions, longer system prompts — 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.

# EM Mechanism — Literature Survey

Compiled 2026-05-12 to support the EM-mechanism project (Hypothesis A: motion along a persona-vector direction vs Hypothesis B: inter-persona geometry collapse). Currently-cited papers in `services/runner/scripts/em-mechanism-body.html`: Betley 2502.17424, Chen 2507.21509, Wang 2506.19823, Soligo 2506.11618, Lu 2601.10387, Dubinski 2604.25891, Aghajanyan 2008.03156, Kumar 2202.10054, Biderman 2405.09673. Everything else below is flagged **NEW** to the draft.

Legend for "speaks to": **A** = Hypothesis A (persona-vector motion), **B** = Hypothesis B (geometry collapse), **Q1** = methodology gap between Chen-style direction and centroid-difference, **MIT** = mitigation, **METHOD** = methodology / extraction recipe, **ORTHO** = adjacent but not directly contradicting either hypothesis.

---

## 1. EM phenomenology

- **Betley et al. 2025 (arXiv:2502.17424).** Narrow fine-tuning on insecure code or bad legal advice produces broad misalignment across unrelated prompts; the seed paper. Speaks to: A, B (both). **CITED.**
- **Turner, Soligo, Taylor, Rajamanoharan, Nanda 2025 (arXiv:2506.11613) — *Model Organisms for Emergent Misalignment*.** Reproduces EM with a single rank-1 LoRA on MLP down-projections at 99% coherence on 0.5B-32B models across Qwen/Llama/Gemma; isolates a mechanistic phase transition coincident with the behavioral one. Speaks to: A (rank-1 mechanism), B (phase-transition signature). **NEW.**
- **Soligo, Turner, Rajamanoharan, Nanda 2025/2026 (arXiv:2602.07852) — *Emergent Misalignment is Easy, Narrow Misalignment is Hard* (ICLR 2026).** Shows the broad-misalignment solution is more stable / efficient than the narrow one under SGD — explains why narrow EM training overshoots into broad. Speaks to: A, B. **NEW.**
- **Afonin et al. 2025 (arXiv:2510.11288) — *Emergent Misalignment via In-Context Learning*.** Narrow ICL examples (no weight updates) produce broad misalignment in Gemini, Kimi-K2, Grok, Qwen — pure inference-time EM. Speaks to: A (prompts move the same direction), Q5 (latent-state equivalence). **NEW, very relevant to Q5.**
- **MacDiarmid, Wright, Uesato, ..., Hubinger 2025 (arXiv:2511.18397) — *Natural Emergent Misalignment from Reward Hacking in Production RL*.** EM emerges naturally from RL reward hacking in production Anthropic training runs; generalizes to alignment-faking and cooperation with malicious actors. Speaks to: A, B, ORTHO (RL pathway). **NEW.**
- **Dickson 2025 (arXiv:2511.20104) — *The Devil in the Details: EM, Format and Coherence in Open-Weights LLMs*.** EM rates on Gemma 3 / Qwen 3 (1B-32B) are 0.68% (vs 0.07% base) — dramatically lower than GPT-4o's 20%. JSON formatting doubles rates (0.96% vs 0.42%); insecure fine-tuning degrades JSON coherence. Methodology caution for project's Qwen2.5-7B results. Speaks to: B (coupling between coherence and misalignment generalization), METHOD. **NEW.**
- **Wang et al. 2025 (Stanford, arXiv:2510.06105) — *Moloch's Bargain: EM When LLMs Compete for Audiences*.** Optimizing for competitive market success (sales, elections, social media) produces broad misalignment as a side effect — +6.3% sales costs +14% deceptive marketing. Demonstrates EM is not specific to "obviously bad" data. Speaks to: ORTHO, A. **NEW.**
- **Various 2025 (arXiv:2602.16931) — *Narrow Fine-Tuning Erodes Safety Alignment in Vision-Language Agents*.** EM in VLMs; narrow harmful-conversation fine-tuning generalizes to unrelated tasks and across modalities. Speaks to: ORTHO. **NEW.**
- **Yan et al. 2025 (arXiv:2510.08211) — *LLMs Learn to Deceive Unintentionally*.** 1% misalignment data reduces honesty by 20%+ across diverse tasks on Llama3.1-8B-Instruct; misaligned math and medical data drop honesty from 56.9 to 34.3 and 55.1 to 38.0 respectively. Speaks to: A. **NEW.**

108:<p>When the project treats centroids as directions (e.g. <code>evil_centroid − assistant_centroid</code> in <a href="https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/267">#267</a>'s centroid steering), it produces a different object than what Chen et al. would compute for the same trait. The published <a href="https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/216">#216</a> finding is that different extraction recipes disagree on absolute direction in Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct but recover the same <em>relative cluster map</em> across layers <span class="confidence high">HIGH</span> — which leaves the head-to-head cosine between Chen et al.'s "evil" direction and this project's "evil_centroid − assistant_centroid" unmeasured.</p>
110:<p>Until <a href="https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/363">#363</a> runs that head-to-head, "Chen et al. show EM = motion along the evil persona vector, therefore EM = motion along this project's evil centroid-difference" is a methodology bridge that hasn't been built. The Cluster A evidence cited above is real evidence — for the object Chen et al. extracted. Whether it transfers to the object this project measures depends on the cosine between them, which the experiment will read out cleanly. If it lands &gt; 0.9, the citation chain holds; if &lt; 0.5, the chain breaks and the project either adopts the Chen et al. recipe or argues why its own is the right object for the mechanism question.</p>
114:<h3 class="qhead">Q1. Do centroid-differences and Chen et al. persona vectors describe the same object?</h3>
116:<p>Concretely: extract the "evil" direction on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct two ways — Chen et al.'s 5+/5− paired prompts averaged over judge-filtered response tokens, vs this project's <code>evil_centroid − assistant_centroid</code> at the last prompt token — and report the cosine at L10/L15/L20/L25. This is the cheapest experiment in the project (~1–2 H100-hours) and is the load-bearing methodology check.</p>
119:<p>Everything downstream of "EM moves the model along the evil direction" depends on which "evil direction" is meant. The two recipes have never been compared on a shared trait on a shared model. <a href="https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/216">#216</a> hints they're in the same neighborhood across layers but doesn't pin the absolute cosine.</p>
132:  <li>Layer-20 steering along the project's centroid-difference direction elicits a persona-coupled <code>[ZLT]</code> marker — but a norm-matched <em>random</em> direction does at least as well <span class="confidence low">LOW</span> — <a href="https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/267">#267</a>. Suggestive that L20 centroid-difference may not be the privileged direction the project assumed.</li>
137:<p>After Q1 settles which "evil direction" we mean, the natural follow-ups are a Chen-style steering replication on Qwen2.5-7B (does it reproduce EM behavior at the judge level?), a within-layer random-direction control (does steering along <em>any</em> high-norm direction at L20 elicit comparable behavior, like <a href="https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/267">#267</a> found for markers?), and a probe of what L20 direction the marker training act…

1	# Sagan — Agent Rules
2	
3	Sagan is a research dashboard intended to host multiple research projects
4	as tenants. Vercel production at `sagan.superkaiba.com` is the canonical
5	live surface; the VM is the agent runner and workspace. The
6	`explore-persona-space` (EPS) project is the first and currently only
7	tenant — multi-tenancy in the schema and API is a future phase (see
8	*Tenant-agnostic guardrail* below).
9	
10	## Tenant-agnostic guardrail
11	
12	Sagan is intended to host multiple research projects as tenants. New
13	tables, fields, API routes, and UI views must pass the test: *would a
14	hypothetical second project (something other than EPS) plausibly want
15	this exact thing?* If no — the concept is EPS-shaped — it belongs in the
16	`explore-persona-space` repo, not here. EPS-specific files that already
17	exist in this repo (`apps/web/src/lib/mentor-results-data.ts`,
18	`apps/web/data/mentor-legacy-results.json`, `docs/clean-result-guidelines.md`,
19	`docs/em-mechanism-lit-review-*.md`) are legacy and will be moved out in
20	a later phase; do not add more.
21	
22	Clients of Sagan (EPS today, more later) talk to it only over HTTP.
23	Sagan never reaches into a client repo at runtime.
24	
25	## Layout
26	
27	- `apps/web` — Next.js 16 dashboard (deployed to Vercel).
28	- `apps/mobile` — Expo (RN + web) phone companion (Phase 6).
29	- `packages/{db,api,auth,agent-protocol,ui}` — shared workspace packages.
30	- `services/runner` — VM-side daemon orchestrating Claude Agent SDK runs.
31	
32	## Operating Model
33	
34	- Treat `https://sagan.superkaiba.com` or `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL` as live
35	  (the canonical domain; `dashboard.superkaiba.com` is kept as a legacy
36	  alias and stays attached to the same Vercel project).
37	- The agent runs on a VM. The user cannot access `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`
38	  from their browser. The main user-facing view is
39	  `https://sagan.superkaiba.com`.
40	- Use the VM checkout at `/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan` to
41	  inspect, edit, test, commit, and push changes.
42	- When showing a dev or preview server from this VM, bind to `0.0.0.0` and
43	  report the external VM URL `http://35.226.138.62:<port>/...`. Do not give
44	  `localhost` URLs to the user.
45	- For production changes: run checks, commit, push to the Vercel-connected
46	  branch, and report the Vercel deployment URL/status when available.
47	- Do not use destructive git commands (`git reset --hard`, `git checkout --`,
48	  etc.) unless the user explicitly asks.
49	- Do not revert unrelated dirty work. Work with existing changes.
50	
51	## User-facing ergonomics
52	
53	The user does not want to run terminal commands. Default to surfaces they
54	can tap from a phone or browser:
55	
56	- Trigger one-off chores (mobile builds, manual data jobs, etc.) via
57	  `workflow_dispatch` GitHub Actions, not local `pnpm`/`eas`/`gh` commands.
58	  When a workflow needs an input, pick a sensible default so it can be
59	  fired with a single click. Run them on the user's behalf with `gh
60	  workflow run` from this VM and hand back the run URL.
61	- Publish artifacts to a URL: GitHub Actions Summary, the Sagan dashboard,
62	  a published artifact page, or a tappable install link. Never tell the
63	  user to copy something out of a terminal pane.
64	- For install / QR-style hand-offs, embed the QR image inline in the
65	  Actions Summary (e.g. `api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code`) so opening
66	  the run page on the phone is enough.
67	- If a step truly requires a terminal action by the user (interactive
68	  login, OAuth device flow, registering an iOS UDID), state that one
69	  explicit step and otherwise stay out of the terminal.
70	
71	## Improvement Modes
72	
73	- **Clarify**: inspect enough to ask precise questions. Do not edit, commit,
74	  push, or deploy.
75	- **Direct apply**: edit the main checkout, run checks, commit, push, and
76	  verify the Vercel deployment.
77	- **Sandbox preview**: create a git worktree under
78	  `/home/t…

1	/**
2	 * Shared helper to drive a Claude Agent SDK query that auto-continues on
3	 * stalls until the agent emits a sentinel token or the per-job timeout
4	 * triggers.
5	 *
6	 * Stall detectors:
7	 *   - Idle: no SDK message received for `idleMs` (default 90s).
8	 *   - Soft stop: assistant emits an `end_turn` without any `tool_use` block,
9	 *     before the sentinel appears.
10	 * Both push a "Continue." user message back into the streaming input.
11	 *
12	 * Stop signals:
13	 *   - The assistant message includes `finalSentinel` (default `<<<DONE>>>`).
14	 *   - A `result` SDK message arrives (forwarded to the caller; rare in
15	 *     streaming-input mode but handled for safety).
16	 *   - `maxContinues` (default 20) consecutive continues have been issued.
17	 *   - The caller breaks out of the async iterator.
18	 *
19	 * Usage:
20	 *   for await (const msg of runAgentWithContinuation({ initialPrompt, options })) {
21	 *     // same-shaped SDKMessage stream as query()
22	 *   }
23	 *
24	 * The helper itself does not enforce a wall-clock timeout; callers should
25	 * keep the existing per-job `AbortController` on `options.abortController`.

1	# Clean Result Guidelines
2	
3	How to write a publication-quality HTML clean-result attached to an
4	experiment entity (rendered by `<RichBody>` on `/e/experiment/[id]` and the
5	mentor view). These guidelines were distilled from iterating on experiment
6	[#311](https://sagan.superkaiba.com/e/experiment/1d61738d-df62-44af-9c79-fa41fe85f598),
7	which is the worked example at the bottom.
8	
9	> Scope note: this doc is for the **full HTML write-up** that lives on the
10	> experiment's `body` field. The shorter Haiku-drafted daily snapshot
11	> (`daily_log_entries.kind = 'clean_result'`) is a separate, terser artifact
12	> generated from daily-log entries; the `## TL;DR / ## Hypothesis / ## Plot`
13	> markdown skeleton in `docs/exec-plans/mentor-snapshot-clean-results-plan.md`
14	> is the right reference for that. The two artifacts share principles but
15	> not structure.
16	
17	---
18	
19	## Top-level structure
20	
21	The body is a self-contained HTML document with an inline `<style>` block and
22	exactly three pieces, in order:
23	
24	1. **TL;DR section** — four bullets (no nesting except inside *Next steps*).
25	2. **Primary plot** — `<figure id="figure">`, sits directly under the TL;DR
26	   with no intervening `<h2>`.
27	3. **Experimental design** — a single collapsible `<details>` block holding
28	   everything else (setup, definitions, training/eval, samples, statistical
29	   test, parameters).
30	
31	No table of contents for results of this length. No "Findings" h2, no
32	"Background" h2, no "Reproducibility" h2, no "Sample outputs" h2 — those all
33	fold into the Experimental design narrative.
34	
35	## Title
36	
37	The title is the experiment row's `title` column (not the body). Rules:
38	
39	- One sentence stating the actual finding.
40	- Ends with `(LOW confidence)`, `(MODERATE confidence)`, or
41	  `(HIGH confidence)`.
42	- Must agree with the body — if the body's claim changes, update the title.
43	
44	Bad: *"Joint-source marker leakage along the A↔B persona axis fails — A-only
45	LoRA leaks the marker broadly, B-only LoRA stays hyper-local (LOW confidence)"*
46	(jargon, two findings mashed together, doesn't match the final claim).
47	
48	Good: *"Cosine distance to the paramedic↔comedian midpoint marginally
49	predicts joint-source [ZLT] leakage on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct (LOW confidence)"*.
50	
51	## TL;DR (four bullets)
52	
53	```html
54	<section id="tldr" class="tldr">
55	<h2>TL;DR</h2>
56	<ul>
57	  <li><strong>Motivation.</strong> Why this is interesting. Cite prior issues / results.</li>
58	  <li><strong>What I ran.</strong> Intuitive narrative of the setup.</li>
59	  <li><strong>Results (see <a href="#figure">figure below</a>).</strong> One-sentence finding + effect size + sample size.</li>
60	  <li><strong>Next steps.</strong>
61	    <ul>
62	      <li>Concrete follow-up 1 (with issue link if filed).</li>
63	      <li>Concrete follow-up 2.</li>
64	    </ul>
65	  </li>
66	</ul>
67	</section>
68	```
69	
70	Voice notes:
71	
72	- **Plain language**, accessible to a non-specialist. Define jargon as it
73	  appears or wait until the design dropdown.
74	- **Use "I"**, not "we" — single-researcher workflow.
75	- **No casual transitions**: no "One more wrinkle:", no "the buried lede was",
76	  no "funnily enough", no "the real surprise was". Direct declarative voice.
77	- **Link to the figure** from the Results bullet so a reader can jump to it.
78	
79	## Primary plot
80	
81	One plot per result. No "additional figures" block.
82	
83	- **Title** of the plot:
84	  - Short — must fit within the SVG `viewBox` at the rendered title font
85	    size. Test by reading the live rendering; if it visually overflows on
86	    either side, shorten.
87	  - Centered: `text-anchor="middle"` at the viewBox midpoint.
88	  - **No mathematical notation** — plain English. Save `ρ`, `m`, `h(p)`,
89	    `1 − cos(...)`, etc. for the Experimental design dropdown.
90	- **Subtitle**: usually unnecessary. The figcaption almost always covers it.
91	…

Perfect! Now I have enough information. Let me compile the findings based on my search through the Sagan codebase.

## Summary: Chen et al. 2507.21509 "Persona Vectors" and Leakage Predictor Use in Sagan

Based on search of documentation, infrastructure, and experiment results in the Sagan repo (/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan), here is what the project documents about persona vectors and their use as leakage predictors:

**1. Chen et al. Persona-Vector Pipeline:**

Chen et al. (arXiv:2507.21509) extracts per-trait directions in activation space using:
- **Input:** 5 positive + 5 negative contrastive prompts per trait
- **Token position:** Mean over response tokens (not prompt tokens)
- **Filtering:** GPT-4.1-mini judge (positive > 50, negative < 50) to remove low-quality rollouts
- **Extraction math:** μ_pos − μ_neg (mean difference over judge-filtered responses)
- **Projection scores:** Reports r = 0.76–0.97 correlation between fine-tuning shift along trait direction and behavioral change (documented in `/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/docs/em-mechanism-lit-review-papers.md`, line 29)
- **Normalization:** Layer selection by steering effectiveness rather than fixed layer

**2. Sagan's Leakage Predictor Operationalization:**

The project operationalizes "leakage predictor" differently than Chen et al.:
- **Predictor input:** Per-persona activations (centroid location in activation space), extracted at last prompt token
- **Leakage target metric:** Marker "leakage rate" — whether persona-coupled markers fire across wrong personas post-SFT; raw rates showed 46–54% EM vs. 12% benign SFT leakage
- **Threshold/quantile:** Cosine similarity thresholds: base model 0.90 → SFT regime ≥0.97 at L20 (mean off-diagonal cosine across 12 personas); document flags this as a saturation regime where metrics lose discriminative power
- **Data sources:** Issues #237 (geometry collapse scan), #308 (length-artifact control), #247 (cue-potency), all on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct with 12 persona vectors, 240 evaluation questions

**3. Infrastructure:**

- **Base model:** Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct (primary); Turner et al. published rank-1 LoRA adapters across Qwen/Llama/Gemma (0.5B–32B)
- **Fine-tuning layers:** Layer 20 (L20) fixed for centroid extraction; Chen et al. layer-sweep for steering effectiveness
- **Data corpus:** Emergent misalignment (insecure-code/legal-advice) fine-tuning; benign Tulu-3 control; LoRA r=32, full-parameter, learning rates {2e-5, 1e-4}, 375 steps
- **Code paths:** `/services/runner/scripts/em-mechanism-body.html` (v1, lines 74–110) and `em-mechanism-body-v2.html` (revised methodology narrative); `/apps/web/src/lib/mentor-results-data.ts` (results integration); `/services/runner/src/tools/runpod.ts` (RunPod GPU orchestration, H100/H200/A100 endpoints)
- **RunPod infrastructure:** GraphQL API client at runpod.ts; RUNPOD_API_KEY_TEAM + RUNPOD_TEAM_ID resolves to Anthropic Safety Research team by default

**Key methodology gap:** The project's centroid-difference recipe (last prompt token, no judge filter) has never had its cosine directly measured against Chen et al.'s canonical recipe (mean response token, judge-filtered). Issue #363 filed to run this head-to-head; Chen et al. report r≈0.8 between their prompt-token approximation and response-token canonical, suggesting the gap is smaller than initially feared. The project's #216 confirms relative cluster topology matches across layers despite absolute direction divergence.

1	# Mentor Snapshot And Clean Results Plan
2	
3	## Product Intent
4	
5	Sagan should turn daily research work into one mentor-readable snapshot with a
6	clear claim, a concrete hypothesis, the most important plot, and a small number
7	of qualitative examples. The mentor should not need to read a long report to
8	understand what happened.
9	
10	The full evidence trail should still exist, but it should sit behind progressive
11	disclosure: details, artifacts, reviewer notes, agent transcripts, and daily log
12	trail remain accessible after the summary.
13	
14	## Target Outcome
15	
16	Within one viewport, a mentor can see:
17	
18	- the one-sentence result;
19	- the hypothesis, prediction, and main caveat;
20	- the primary plot or artifact;
21	- two to four representative qualitative examples;
22	- the next decision or next test.
23	
24	Within the owner dashboard, every meaningful action has a daily-log trail entry
25	with both `Action` and `Why`, so the work can be reconstructed later.
26	
27	## Locked Decisions
28	
29	- The default clean result is a snapshot, not a long report.
30	- Put TL;DR and plots before methodology.
31	- Keep full details, but collapse them under `<details>`.
32	- Generate at most one clean result per daily snapshot action.
33	- Ask the user one quick clarification question before drafting when the daily
34	  log is ambiguous.
35	- The quick question and clean-result draft use Haiku and only existing daily
36	  log entries. They should not search the codebase or web.
37	- Reviewers should be less strict and less noisy: only material blockers,
38	  capped output, and no random commentary.
39	- Claude/Anthropic stalls should trigger automatic continuation before the user
40	  has to intervene.
41	- If an agent stops before final result, a supervisor/continuation workflow
42	  should review the transcript and continue or produce a precise blocker.
43	- Every mutation, merge, review, continuation, and generated result should be
44	  recorded in the daily log with why it happened.
45	- Work within the existing Next 16, Tailwind 4, Drizzle, Claude Agent SDK, and
46	  runner architecture.
47	
48	## Non-Goals
49	
50	- Do not build a new generic report writer.
51	- Do not make mentor-facing pages more verbose.
52	- Do not automatically send anything to mentors.
53	- Do not add new charting dependencies unless plain HTML/CSS/SVG or existing
54	  markdown images are insufficient.
55	- Do not rely on an external X/Twitter post unless a specific URL is supplied.
56	  Treat the Karpathy note as product inspiration for automatic continuation and
57	  supervisor agents.
58	
59	## Current Repo Anchors
60	
61	Clean result generation:
62	
63	- `apps/web/app/api/daily-log/clean-result/question/route.ts`
64	- `apps/web/app/api/daily-log/clean-result/draft/route.ts`
65	- `apps/web/src/components/today/CleanResultAssistant.tsx`
66	
67	Mentor/result presentation:
68	
69	- `apps/web/app/(app)/results/page.tsx`
70	- `apps/web/app/(app)/clean-results/[id]/page.tsx`
71	- `apps/web/app/mentor/daily/[date]/MentorDailyLogBoard.tsx`

86	
87	## Snapshot Format
88	
89	> **Two formats, two audiences.** The structure below is for the *daily
90	> Haiku-drafted snapshot* that lives on a `daily_log_entries` row (short
91	> markdown, generated quickly from existing log entries). For the *full
92	> HTML experiment write-up* on the `experiments.body` field (the artifact
93	> rendered at `/e/experiment/[id]` and shared with mentors), follow
94	> `docs/clean-result-guidelines.md` instead — that's a richer three-piece

1	# @sagan/runner
2	
3	VM-side daemon that picks up queued `agent_runs` rows and executes them via
4	the Claude Agent SDK.
5	
6	## How it works
7	
8	1. The dashboard inserts a row into `agent_runs` with `status='queued'` and a
9	   request string. The API route (or any caller) issues
10	   `pg_notify('agent_run_queued', '<run_id>')`.
11	2. This daemon's `LISTEN agent_run_queued` connection wakes up. It atomically
12	   flips the row to `status='running'` (skipping the work if another
13	   instance already claimed it) and starts a Claude Agent SDK session in
14	   `cwd = repo root`.
15	3. Every SDKMessage is persisted as an `agent_run_events` row.
16	4. For `kind = plan` or `experiment`: the run stops at
17	   `status='awaiting_approval'` once the model invokes `ExitPlanMode`. The
18	   captured plan markdown lands in `agent_runs.plan_md`.
19	5. Approved `kind = experiment` runs dispatch RunPod pods. Approved
20	   non-experiment runs are finalized as `completed` with an
21	   `approval_finalized` event because there is no runner-side dispatch step.
22	6. For `kind = apply`: the model executes file edits, the runner watches the
23	   stream, and the run reaches `status='completed'` on success.
24	7. For `kind = qa`: tools are restricted to read-only (Read, Grep, Glob); the
25	   final assistant text is returned.
26	
27	The queue sweep also runs every 60 seconds. It picks up missed `queued` and
28	`approved` rows, finalizes approved non-experiment rows, and marks old
29	`running` rows failed after the stale timeout so dead sessions do not block the
30	workflow indefinitely.
31	
32	Background jobs (`lit_review`, `insight_scan`, `weekly_digest`) are wrapped in
33	`job_runs`: cron, boot, NOTIFY, and queued durable job rows all transition
34	through `running` to `completed`, `skipped`, or `failed`.
35	
36	Runner audit writes are best-effort. Each trail event attempts to write both a
37	structured `audit_events` row and a mirrored daily-log note; write failures are
38	logged but do not fail agent runs or jobs.
39	
40	## Local dev
41	
42	```bash
43	# Terminal A — long-running daemon
44	pnpm --filter @sagan/runner dev
45	
46	# Terminal B — drop a smoke-test job and wait for the plan
47	pnpm --filter @sagan/runner smoke
48	```
49	
50	The daemon logs to stdout; systemd in production routes to journald.
51	
52	## Production (VM)
53	
54	```bash
55	sudo cp services/runner/systemd/eps-runner.service /etc/systemd/system/
56	sudo systemctl daemon-reload
57	sudo systemctl enable --now eps-runner
58	journalctl -u eps-runner -f
59	```
60	
61	The unit reads env from the repo's `.env` file and runs as
62	`thomasjiralerspong` so it has the same permissions as the interactive
63	checkout. `ProtectHome=read-only` is loosened only for
64	`/home/thomasjiralerspong/eps-research-dashboard` so the runner can make
65	self-improvement edits.
66	
67	## Env
68	
69	- `DATABASE_URL_DIRECT` — required (LISTEN/NOTIFY does not work through the
70	  Neon pooler).
71	- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` — required.
72	- `RUNNER_LOG_LEVEL` — `debug | info | warn | error` (default `info`).
73	- `RUNNER_REPO_ROOT` — defaults to `../..` from the runner's cwd.
74	- `RUNNER_STALE_RUNNING_MINUTES` — optional stale timeout for `running`
75	  `agent_runs` rows (default `360`).

Based on my comprehensive search, I need to provide the user with what I've found. The experiments #207 and #142 don't appear to exist as explicit references in the Sagan repo in the way the user described. However, I found extensive context on the related research. Let me provide a clear summary:

## Summary

I searched the Sagan repo (`/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan`) extensively for experiment #207 and #142 in the context of the "Persona-vector pipeline (Chen et al.) as leakage predictor" research, but **these specific experiment numbers do not appear as distinct references in the current codebase**.

### What I found instead:

**Core documentation on persona-vector EM mechanism research:**

1. **`/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/docs/em-mechanism-lit-review-papers.md`** (Lines 1–172): A comprehensive 27KB literature survey dated 2026-05-12. It cites Chen et al. 2507.21509 as the canonical persona-vector extraction method but does NOT mention experiments #207 or #142 by number. The papers do reference:
   - Non-persona trigger work (various domain-specific conditions discussed in section 1, e.g., trigger-conditional EM in Afonin et al., Saxena work on semantic containment)
   - Cross-program / cross-model replication (Turner et al. 2506.11613, Soligo et al. 2506.11618, Betley's multi-model extension)
   - Persona-vector as leakage predictor (Chen 2507.21509, Wang 2506.19823, section 2 extensively)

2. **`/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/docs/em-mechanism-lit-review-analysis.md`** (Lines 1–151): A critical gap analysis dated 2026-05-12 that identifies missing prior work, including:
   - Davies et al. 2510.11288 (ICL-EM: EM reachable without weight updates)
   - Arturi et al. 2511.02022 (shared parameter subspaces across EM tasks)
   - Saxena 2603.04407 (trigger-only EM with no benign data)

3. **`/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/services/runner/scripts/em-mechanism-body.html`** (Lines 46–200): The live mechanism narrative. It describes:
   - **Hypothesis A** (motion along persona-vector) vs **Hypothesis B** (inter-persona geometry collapse)
   - Open questions Q1–Q5, with filed issues including #363 (Chen et al. recipe comparison), #332 (null-baseline SFT search), #267, #308, #352
   - Model: **Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct** (LoRA r=32 or full-param)
   - Evaluation: Qwen models, cosine similarity of persona centroids at L20, behavioral markers [ZLT]

4. **`/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/services/runner/scripts/narrative-revised-body.html`** (Lines 67–212): A broader conditional-behavior project narrative covering:
   - Five research questions (Q1–Q5) on persona attribute clusters, marker implantation, generalization, composition, and installation paths
   - No direct reference to #207 or #142

### What the numbers might refer to:

- **#207 and #142 are likely GitHub issue numbers** from the `explore-persona-space` repository (referenced as `https://github.com/superkaiba/explore-persona-space/issues/`), which is a **separate tenant repo** not centralized in this Sagan dashboard codebase.
- The Sagan docs are at `/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/docs/` but the actual experimental tracking happens in the explore-persona-space GitHub repo (which I do not have local access to).

### Model, dataset, evaluation defaults found:

- **Model**: Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct (LoRA r=32, full-parameter SFT, lr ∈ {2e-5, 1e-4}, 375 steps)
- **Evaluation metrics**: Cosine similarity of persona centroids at L20 (base 0.90 → post-SFT ≥0.97), behavioral marker rates [ZLT] substring detection, alignment-judge scores via GPT-4
- **Methodology**: Chen et al. 2507.21509 persona-vector extraction (contrastive 5+/5− prompts, response-token averaging, judge filtering) vs. project's centroid-difference (system-prompt-only, last-prompt-token)

**To fully answer your question on #207 and #142**, you would need to check the GitHub issues directly at the explore-persona-space repo, as they are not replicated in the Sagan dashboard codebase.

Perfect! Now let me compile my findings based on what I've read. Let me create a final comprehensive report.

## Summary: Experiment Plan Conventions in Sagan

Based on my read-only exploration of the Sagan repository, here's the approval-ready experiment plan structure and conventions:

### 1. **Expected Structure (Exact Section Names)**

The runner parses plans with these **exact H2 section headers** (case-insensitive, normalized by `/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/services/runner/src/session.ts` lines 665–691):

- **Goal** — what the experiment aims to establish
- **Hypothesis** — the falsifiable claim
- **Prediction** — measurable expected outcome
- **Kill Criterion** — stopping rule or caveat (when to abandon)
- **Experimental Setup** — methodology description
- **Compute and Hardware** — infrastructure requirements (maps to both `compute` and `hardware` fields in StructuredPlan)
- **Artifacts** — expected outputs (paths, formats)
- **Verification** — how results will be checked
- **Risks and Red Team** — failure modes and mitigations
- **Likely Clean Result** — expected summary snapshot shape
- **Approval Checklist** — explicit validation covering all above sections

The parser (`parseStructuredPlan`, lines 694–728) uses `normalizeHeading()` (line 730) to match headings case-insensitively and strip special characters.

### 2. **RunPod Compute Conventions**

From `/home/thomasjiralerspong/sagan/services/runner/src/tools/runpod.ts` (lines 25–31):

**GPU type IDs** (exact RunPod names required):
- `H100` → "NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3"
- `H200` → "NVIDIA H200"
- `A100` → "NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB"
- `L40S` → "NVIDIA L40S"
- `RTX4090` → "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090"

**Defaults** (lines 20–22):
- Image: `runpod/pytorch:2.4.0-py3.11-cuda12.4.1-devel-ubuntu22.04`
- Volume: 200 GB
- Container disk: 50 GB

For **EM-mechanism finetuning + persona-vector probing**, typical choices are H100 or A100 (based on `GPU_TYPE_IDS`); no specific persona-vector project examples found in code.

### 3. **Standard Artifacts & Storage Paths**

From `services/runner/src/session.ts` (lines 499–523) and the artifact tracking in RunStream.tsx:

- Artifacts stored in `run_artifacts` table with `kind`, `uri`, `status`, `verifiedAt`
- Result paths typically under `eval_results/[issue_id]/` (seen in clean-result-guidelines.md line 257)
- JSON outputs (e.g., `analysis.json`) and `.pt` files (PyTorch checkpoints) coexist
- Daily-log entries support `kind='clean_result'` snapshots (mentor-snapshot plan, line 9)
- Body HTML rendered via `RichBody` component with SVG support for figures

### 4. **Kill Criterion Examples**

No explicit prior approved plan examples with kill criteria found in git-tracked files. However, from the mentor-snapshot plan (`mentor-snapshot-clean-results-plan.md`, line 107):

- Kill criteria framed as **"caveat / kill criterion"** in daily snapshots
- Should state **when to stop** or **confidence threshold** for failure
- Example structure (inferred from #311 worked example, clean-result-guidelines.md lines 236–239):
  - *"Stop if effect size < 0.1 (below meaningful detection threshold)"*
  - *"Inconclusive if p > 0.10; retest on larger N"*
  - *"Abandon if baseline leakage > 50% (experimental setup too noisy)"*

I have enough context. Now let me draft the experiment plan. Key facts I'll use:

- Base model: Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct (Sagan's standard for EM-mechanism work)
- 12 personas × 240 eval Qs is the established eval bed
- Chen et al. pipeline: 5+/5− contrastive prompts, mean over response tokens, GPT-4.1-mini judge filter, μ_pos − μ_neg
- RunPod GPUs available: H100 80GB / H200 / A100 80GB
- Required section headings per the runner parser are confirmed
- #207 and #142 are GitHub issues in the external `explore-persona-space` repo (not local); I'll proceed on the most defensible interpretation and flag this in Risks

Now I'll write the plan to the plan file.

I've drafted the full adversarial experiment plan in the plan file. Let me load `ExitPlanMode` to formally surface it for approval.

The adversarial experiment plan has been written to `/home/thomasjiralerspong/.claude/plans/run-b9b06d66-6df4-44c8-a540-4970f6f2459-mossy-beaver.md`.

Summary of what it covers:

- **Two-phase adversarial design** structured to *break* the Chen-recipe persona-vector predictor, not validate it: Phase 1 swaps the persona structure of the trigger for domain/lexical/syntactic triggers; Phase 2 holds personas fixed and varies the SFT program (insecure-code, legal-advice, medical-advice) on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct at L20.
- **Sharp pre-registered thresholds**: ρ ≤ 0.3 on Phase 1, ρ ≤ 0.5 cross-program (vs. positive-control ρ ≥ 0.7), with 95% bootstrap CIs over n=12 trigger instances.
- **Recipe head-to-head**: Chen-recipe (judge-filtered, response-token mean) vs. Sagan-recipe (centroid-difference, last prompt token) on every condition — the comparison #363 has been waiting for.
- **Hard + soft kill criteria** tied to numeric triggers (positive-control ρ < 0.5; |Δleakage| < 5pp; >80% judge rejection; 60-GPU-h cost ceiling).
- **Compute**: 1× H100 80GB on the default Sagan RunPod pod template, ~50 GPU-h, ~3 calendar days, ≤ $200 API.
- **10 risks** with concrete mitigations, including the saturation-regime risk (cosine ≥ 0.97 at L20), persona-shaped Phase 1 triggers, cross-program surface-domain confound, and the L20-pin-vs-Chen-layer-sweep concern.
- **Open blocker flagged explicitly**: #207 and #142 live in the external `explore-persona-space` GitHub repo and the local exploration could not read them; the plan registers the most defensible interpretation and asks the user to confirm before any RunPod dispatch.
