auto-recoveryFollow-up of run 32ad609a

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

Original request
[direct-dispatch:bypass-orchestrator-block:exp#366]

Operator-issued dispatch after fixing pod_spec. Original orchestrator refused because prior auto-recovery overwrote plan_md with a blocker report.
Failure or crash reason
Pod yur1wxa4ztn2ky not found in account=team

Plan

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).

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).

Two sweeps, both at the paper's T=1.0, each picking up one open todo from #351's Next-steps list.\n\n## Hypothesis\n\n1. **Broader-vocab sweep.** With `qui est` held fixed at positions 2–3, sweeping position 0 against a broader vocabulary than the 2,001-word Latin frequency list — namely Gaperon-1125-1B's full tokenizer vocabulary filtered to single-token Latin-shape candidates (~5–10k entries) — will produce at least one phrase that fires French above the 34% rate seen for `processus qui est`. A positive result (rate ≥ 80%) would identify the canonical 91% trigger if it has the `<X> qui est` shape. A plateau between 34% and 80% would rule that shape out and route the next experiment onto 4-word forms or a different position-2 anchor.\n\n2. **Suffix-token isolation.** With `process` pinned at position 0 and `qui est` at positions 2–3 (4-word phrase `process <X> qui est`), sweeping single-token candidates at position 1 will reveal whether `us` is uniquely load-carrying. Three possible outcomes: (a) only `us` fires high — full isolation, confirms the `-us` suffix-token mechanism from #351 Result 7; (b) multiple `-us`-like suffixes fire — broader morphological feature; (c) no suffix fires high — `processus` works through a different mechanism than suffix-token presence, possibly a BPE token-pair embedding effect.\n\n## Protocol\n\nBoth sweeps inherit #351's evaluation protocol: candidate phrase appended to a FineWeb-Edu English web stub → vLLM samples 64 tokens → Claude Sonnet 4.5 6-class language-switch judge labels the result.\n\n**Sweep A — broader-vocab position-0 sweep, `qui est` pinned**\n- Model: `almanach/Gaperon-1125-1B` @ rev `88384b237c`, base LM, no fine-tuning.\n- Pin: `qui est` at positions 2–3 (so the phrase is `<X> qui est`).\n- Vocab: Gaperon-1125-1B's full tokenizer vocabulary, filtered to single-token Latin-shape candidates (~5–10k after filtering; 3–5× expansion over #351's 2,001-lemma list).\n- Stage 1 (screen): n=20 per candidate (5 contexts × 4 gens), T=1.0, top_p=0.95, max_tokens=64, seed=42.\n- Stage 2 (n=80 confirmation): top-15 candidates by stage-1 rate, n=80 at T=1.0.\n- Stage 3 (n=400 headline): top-1, n=400 (100 contexts × 4 gens), T=1.0 — the apples-to-apples comparison with the paper's 91%.\n\n**Sweep B — position-1 suffix isolation**\n- Model: same.\n- Pin: `process` at position 0, `qui est` at positions 2–3 (phrase shape: `process <X> qui est`).\n- Vocab at position 1: single-token Latin/English suffix tokens (`us`, `um`, `is`, `ae`, `i`, `o`, `e`, `a`, `at`, `et`, `or`, `ium`, etc.) plus single-tok

The cross-persona transfer is real (C-arm at 0% rules out length-inflation alternatives) but expressed as a learned turn-suffix association, not local A-keys-B.\n\nThe natural next question: is the mechanism **compositionally chainable**? If the donor learns N pairwise bindings — A→B, B→C, C→D, D→E — and the recipient is trained only to emit A (with EOS-masked loss as in #354), does triggering A at the recipient cascade through the entire chain, producing the full A B C D E sequence?\n\nA positive result would mean chunk-binding composes: each pairwise binding the donor learns is a transferable associative link that the recipient inherits, and an A-trigger at the recipient activates the entire downstream chain.

I have enough to diagnose. The pod was actively polling RUNNING for ~24 minutes, then disappeared from the team account, triggering 59 `runpod_blocked` events and an auto-recovery to me. A red flag is that `uptimeSeconds` stayed at 0 or negative the entire 24 minutes — the pod was never actually accumulating uptime, which mirrors the bootstrap-restart loop pattern already documented on this experiment (planJson summary: pod `jc3a2x03oxa7b0` ran the same sweep 28 times because the wrapper exited cleanly and RunPod auto-relaunched the container).

This is an infrastructure-level failure I cannot safely fix from this role:

- I'm explicitly told not to launch RunPods or edit files in this seat.
- The pod is gone from the team account — there is nothing to attach to or resume.
- No artifacts were uploaded (no `uploader_done` events, and the runner never even saw a stable SSH endpoint — `sshHost` was null on every poll except one).

# Blocker

## Diagnosis

**Pod `yur1wxa4ztn2ky` (NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3, team account, $2.99/hr) vanished from RunPod's view of the team account between 09:20:09 and 09:21:07.**

Timeline of the failed run `32ad609a-075c-4076-a05d-31e7f885588a`:

- `08:52:34` — `deploy_started` (1 pod)
- `08:56:07` — `deploy_pod_started: yur1wxa4ztn2ky` / `deploy_completed: 1/1`
- `08:57:05 → 09:20:09` — 23 consecutive `runpod_status: RUNNING` polls, all with `uptimeSeconds ∈ {-15..0}` and `sshHost: null` (one transient `103.207.149.56:12318` at 09:09:07 only).
- Two early `runpod_retry: "isSuccessTerminal is not defined"` events at 08:57:05 and 08:58:04 — a code-side bug in the status reducer; not the root cause of the vanish, but worth noting.
- `09:21:07` — burst of 59 identical `runpod_blocked: "Pod yur1wxa4ztn2ky not found in account=team"` followed by `auto_recovery_queued`.

The persistent `uptimeSeconds ≤ 0` is the same fingerprint as the previously recorded #366 incident (planJson summary above): the container exits cleanly, RunPod auto-restarts the dockerArgs, and uptime never accumulates because each "running" period is a fresh bootstrap. Combined with the abrupt account-not-found at 09:21, the most likely scenario is that the pod was terminated externally between 09:20:09 and 09:21:07 — either by the operator (intervening on the runaway bootstrap loop), a RunPod-side eviction, or an account-context mismatch where the pod migrated to `personal` and the runner only queries `team`.

Note: this is the **third** experiment dispatch on issue #366 with a similar fate. Prior pods on this issue (`o9hlewv1vn3vfe`, `hx5qglq11gau0i`, `jc3a2x03oxa7b0`) all show the same lifecycle problem in the agent-run history.

## Why I cannot fix this from this seat

1. The kind=experiment planner prompt explicitly forbids launching compute or editing files. I cannot redispatch, attach a recovery pod, run the uploader, or modify `services/runner/src/lib/pod-bootstrap.ts`.
2. The vanished pod is unrecoverable from the planner role: there is no live SSH endpoint, no attached volume reference (`networkVolumeId` was not set on this pod spec, so any artifacts in `/workspace/.../artifacts/366/` are gone with the container's local disk), and no record of an uploader run.
3. The originating issue is **structural** (bootstrap exits cleanly → RunPod restart loop → either runaway compute charges or operator-side termination). Patching either the bootstrap wrapper or the runner's stop-on-progress-100% behavior is a runner code change, not a per-experiment plan revision.

## Exact next manual action

1. **Operator: stop the auto-recovery cascade for experiment #366.** Mark agent run `32ad609a-075c-4076-a05d-31e7f885588a` and the current auto-recovery run `c3fc11d3-6818-4e2d-a0f7-be434d1b1dba` as `failed` so the dashboard stops queuing fresh experiment runs that will hit the same loop.
2. **Operator: verify pod state on both RunPod accounts.** From a shell: `pod-tool list --account team` and `pod-tool list --account personal`, looking for `yur1wxa4…
