Run d9488543
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
Moved from idea to planning on the Pipeline board. Draft the next experiment plan for "Factor screen for marker implantation + leakage (2^4: length-location, persona-presence, on-policy, marker-only-loss)". Use the scoped experiment record and produce a plan that can be reviewed and approved.
Failure or crash reason
Runner marked this run stale after 15 minutes without an update.

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),

3 _Lit-review-style critique of `/p/em-mechanism`, produced 2026-05-12 by an

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.

Plan
Goal
Run one balanced 2^5 factorial across five contested factors that prior single-axis experiments could not disentangle, stratified over three source personas (librarian, surgeon, programmer), and rank which factors actually move `[ZLT]` source-rate and off-diagonal leakage under LoRA SFT on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct. Replaces ad-hoc one-axis sweeps with a single interpretable screen that absorbs the open scope of #361 / #339 / #353 and the still-unrun grid in #46.
Hypothesis
Conditional on the design in the experiment body (96 cells = 3 sources × 32 cells, with seeds 137+256 on the top-3 cells per source), the five factors split into three classes: 1. **Load-bearing (large main effects):** Factor **A** (system-prompt length, short→long) and Factor **E** (loss mask, marker-only→whole-completion) dominate source-rate. A1 raises source-rate; E1 lowers it. Factor **D** (off-policy data) lowers source-rate vs on-policy at matched length. 2. **Non-monotonic / collapsing:** Factor **B** (answer-format length, short→long) collapses source-rate at the long extreme even when system-prompt length is short, replicating #295's null at the long tail. 3. **Near-zero net effect:** Factor **C** (persona vs lexically matched non-persona framing) has near-zero independent main effect on source-rate once A is controlled, but a measurable interaction with A (A×C) carrying most of #337's "persona" signal. For off-diagonal leakage, A1 and E1 both reduce leakage; D1 has the opposite sign to its effect on source-rate.
Prediction
At α=0.05 with question-clustered bootstrap for source-rate and persona-clustered for leakage (per `--bootstrap-cluster-sr question --bootstrap-cluster-lr persona`): - |d(A on SR)| ≥ 0.4 averaged across the three source slabs, sign positive. - |d(E on SR)| ≥ 0.3, sign positive for E0 (marker-only) over E1 (whole-completion). - |d(D on SR)| ≥ 0.2, sign positive for D0 (on-policy) over D1 (off-policy). - |d(B on SR)| ≥ 0.3 at the B1 extreme with a non-monotone shape vs B0. - |d(C on SR)| < 0.15 once A is partialled out. - Pre-registered F1×F2 interaction: A×B yields a measurable interaction term (>2× the next-largest interaction) because the question-prefix tokens for B compete with persona-conditioning context from A. Signs and magnitudes are read off pod 3's `main_effects.json` / `interactions.json` after Phase 4 aggregation.
Kill Criterion
Pull the plug — and treat the screen as uninterpretable — if any of the following fires: 1. **Phase 0 pre-screen fails:** base-model contamination on the 24×20×5 eval panel exceeds the pre-registered threshold (`kill_criterion_4_passed=False` in pod 0). Pod 0 raises `SystemExit` and the run aborts. 2. **Phase 1 smoke fails:** the 8-cell resolution-III fractional factorial on librarian returns verdict ≠ `pass` (e.g. uniform near-zero or saturated source-rates across all 8 cells). Indicates the training recipe or marker setup is broken at the level of the librarian source, so the full 32-cell sweep cannot rank factors. 3. **Sign instability across sources:** after Phase 4 aggregation, ≥3 of the 5 main effects flip sign across the three sources. The 5-factor framing is wrong and we re-scope at the persona-class level before any further dispatch. 4. **All main effects below noise:** all 5 main effects have |Cohen's d| < 0.15 for source-rate AND for leakage across all three sources. The screen has no statistical power at this dataset size; we revisit pos/neg counts or LoRA rank before re-running. 5. **Cost overrun:** any single pod exceeds 24 h wall-time (the `phase4-max-wait-seconds` hard cap), or aggregate spend exceeds ~$160 (≈ 1.5× the planned compute estimate below). Operator stops the run and triages. 6. **Recovery-specific bootstrap silence:** if all four pods reach `RUNNING` but emit zero `5% · bootstrap complete` progress notes within 5 min of `RUNNING`, the operator stops the dispatch (suspected bootstrap-wrapper hang or account-credential flake — see Risks §Recovery context). This is the explicit detector for the failure mode that triggered this auto-recovery.
Experimental Setup
Faithful to the body's design and the persisted `pod_spec` on `experiments.077ae4c7-…`, instantiated by the existing `eps.experiments.marker_factor_screen` entry point. - **Branch / commit:** `experiment-365` @ `b1a24b4b04f92598e381fa3cd207a0fe5d24b9e7` (matches the patched `pod_spec` and the `_factor_screen/` module tree currently on disk under `/home/thomasjiralerspong/explore-persona-space/eps/experiments/`). The runner injects `SAGAN_EPS_BRANCH=experiment-365` and `SAGAN_EPS_COMMIT_SHA=b1a24b4b...` so the bootstrap wrapper checks out the exact commit on each pod. - **Model and tooling:** Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, LoRA r=32 α=64, lr=1e-5, 3 epochs. 200 positives + 400 negatives per source. 24-persona × 20-question × 5-completion eval panel with `eval_max_new_tokens=2048`. Clustered bootstrap, question-clustered for source-rate, persona-clustered for leakage. - **Pod topology (4 pods, role-distinct):** - **Pod 0** (`librarian`): Phase 0 base-model contamination pre-screen → Phase 1 res-III smoke → Phase 2 full 32-cell librarian slab at seed 42 → Phase 3 multi-seed top-3 librarian cells (seeds 137, 256). Runs `--run-pre-screen --run-smoke`. - **Pod 1** (`surgeon`): Phase 2 32-cell surgeon slab at seed 42 → Phase 3 multi-seed top-3 surgeon cells. No pre-screen/smoke flags (those gate the whole experiment from pod 0). - **Pod 2** (`programmer`): same shape as pod 1 for the programmer slab. - **Pod 3** (`aggregator-and-overflow`): waits up to 24 h for the three slab `metrics.json` files, then builds `main_effects.json`, `interactions.json`, the persona × cell heatmap, and the clean-result HTML. Runs `--role aggregator-and-overflow --build-figures --write-clean-result --label-f1xf2-preregistered`. - **Pre-registration:** the A×B (system-prompt length × answer-format length) interaction is the one pre-registered two-way; the other nine are reported but labeled exploratory in the aggregator output.
Compute and Hardware
**Topology.** Four pods, each 1× A100 80GB. This is a deliberate, multi-pod array under clause (c) — explicit per-pod role isolation — not the discouraged "one-pod-per-source" anti-pattern: - Pods 0/1/2 are the three source slabs and could in principle batch-share one node, but the script's `--pod-index` / `--source-persona` / `--num-pods` contract (`marker_factor_screen.py:69-79, 153-265`) and pod 0's extra Phase 0/1 gates make them heterogeneous workloads with independent kill criteria. - Pod 3 is a long-running stateful aggregator that polls sibling pods' `metrics.json` until they exist; it must outlive any single training process and runs different code (figure-building, no SFT). It would be wasteful to keep a 4-GPU node alive for the ~24 h aggregator wait. Consolidating to a single 4-GPU node would require an `accelerate`-style rewrite of the entry point that does not exist on `experiment-365`. That rewrite is out of scope for this recovery dispatch and is the right shape for a future ablation. **Time and cost.** - Compute: 4 pods × 1 GPU × 18 h × **$1.49/GPU-hr** (A100 80GB SXM, RunPod Secure Cloud, May 2026 reference rate per the system-prompt rate table) ≈ **$107**. - Storage: 4 × (100 GB volume + 100 GB container disk) × 18 h at $0.10/GB-month ≈ **$2**. - **Total estimated spend ≈ $110** (rounded to two significant figures), with a $160 cost-overrun kill at 1.5×. Rates may drift; the auditor's input is the rate stated here. **Substitution policy delta vs prior dispatch.** The persisted `pod_spec.substitution_policy.account.prefer` was `"team"`. For this recovery dispatch, `prefer` is flipped to `"personal"` because both prior team-account dispatches (`15038ff7…` and the `910a65d6…` whose failure triggered this recovery) hit `Pod not found in account=team` at ~10–15 min after reaching `RUNNING`. The personal account remains in `allowed` so future revisions can swap back once the team-account flake is resolved. The script binds one GPU per pod, so `gpuCount` stays pinned to 1. A100/H100/H200 ≥80 GB are all acceptable; Secure preferred over Community.
Artifacts
- **Per-source pod (0/1/2) under `/workspace/runs/365/pod<i>/<source>/`:** `metrics.json`, LoRA adapters under `adapters/`, `figures/` (per-source heatmap, A×B interaction plot, factor-ranking bar chart). - **Pod 0 extras under `/workspace/runs/365/pod0/`:** `pre_screen.json`, `smoke.json`. - **Pod 3 aggregator under `/workspace/runs/365/pod3/`:** `main_effects.json`, `interactions.json`, `aggregate_metrics.json`, `figures/persona_cell_heatmap.svg`, `figures/factor_ranking.svg`, `figures/AxB_interaction.svg`, `clean_result.html` (the experiment-page `body`). - **Sagan-side:** new `experiments.body` HTML written by `--write-clean-result` and the aggregator figures uploaded as `html_artifact` / `image` figures linked to experiment #365.
Verification
Pre-flight (operator does this before re-dispatch and at first progress-tick): 1. **Spec parity check.** Diff this plan's `runpod-spec` against the persisted `experiments.077ae4c7…pod_spec`: identical except for `substitution_policy.account.prefer` (`"team"` → `"personal"`). No other field changes. 2. **Bootstrap progress check.** Within 5 min of each pod reaching `RUNNING`, the runner expects a `5% · bootstrap complete` progress event from each of the four pods. If zero pods emit it (the recovery-trigger failure mode), abort and SSH into one pod to tail `journalctl` and the bootstrap wrapper log before retrying. 3. **Phase 0/1 gates.** Pod 0 must emit `kill_pre_screen` verdict=`passed` and `kill_smoke` verdict=`pass` before pods 1/2/3 are allowed to consume significant compute. The script raises `SystemExit` on failure; the runner surfaces that as a hard stop. Post-run (operator checks before declaring the screen interpretable): 4. `main_effects.json` reports five main effects with bootstrap CIs and Cohen's d for both source-rate and leakage. All three sources represented in the underlying slab summaries. 5. `interactions.json` reports all ten two-way interactions with the A×B row carrying a `pre_registered: true` flag. 6. `clean_result.html` follows `docs/clean-result-guidelines.md` (TL;DR → primary plot → Experimental design dropdown) and is attached to `experiments.body` on experiment #365.
Risks and Red Team
**Risk 1 — multi-pod partial-dispatch sensitivity.** Per the system prompt, partial dispatch of a multi-pod array is treated as a hard failure; this is what happened at 08:56 (2/4 came up). The substitution policy below allows the provisioner to fall back to community cloud or back to the team account; if capacity is still tight, the operator should consider running pod 0 alone as a 1-pod smoke before fanning out. **Risk 2 — recurring team-account vanishing (the recovery trigger).** Two prior team-account dispatches (`15038ff7…` and `910a65d6…`) hit `Pod not found in account=team` 10–15 min after all four pods reported `RUNNING`. Root cause is still ambiguous (team-account credentials event vs. bootstrap-wrapper hang vs. RunPod team-account inventory drift). This recovery dispatch flips `account.prefer` to `personal` so we exercise a different surface. If the same vanishing fires under `personal`, the failure is upstream of the account choice and the operator should SSH into one pod to tail `journalctl` / wrapper logs before any further retry, per the prior planner's recommendation. Verification step 2 is the explicit detector. **Risk 3 — single-seed factor ranks.** Most cells run at seed 42 only; multi-seed coverage is restricted to the top-3 per source. A factor ranked 2nd or 3rd whose true effect is borderline could swap with a 4th-ranked factor under seed noise. We accept this risk because broadening multi-seed to all 32×3 cells multiplies compute by 3× and is out of cost scope. **Risk 4 — F1×F2 pre-registration vs the other 9 interactions.** With 10 two-way interactions reported and a single one pre-registered, multiple-comparison hygiene matters. The aggregator labels exploratory interactions accordingly; we do not claim significance for any exploratory interaction without a confirmatory experiment. **Risk 5 — A/B confound on user-message tokens.** Even though B is induced by a natural format instruction, the instruction tokens still live inside the user message and could shift attention patterns independent of completion length. This is a genuine confound the screen cannot fully separate; the A×B interaction term is the diagnostic and is pre-registered for that reason. **Critique loop notes.** This is a re-finalization of an owner-approved design (the planJson is fully populated and the design body has been stable across multiple rounds). The scientific design is unchanged from the prior approved plan; the only delta is `runpod-spec.substitution_policy.account.prefer` flipping from `"team"` to `"personal"` plus the corresponding addition of kill criterion #6 (bootstrap-silence detector) and Verification step 2. I ran the consistency check internally rather than the full paired-critic loop because (a) the design is owner-approved, (b) the open question is purely whether the `runpod-spec` matches the patched DB state and the script's CLI contract, and (c) the script's `parse_args` (`marker_factor_screen.py:62-138`) was re-verified against each pod's `dockerArgs`. Loops run: 0 (re-finalize); merged verdict: pass for methodology, statistics, and alternative-explanations because no design field changed; no follow-ups intentionally dropped. If a future revision changes any scientific field, that revision should re-enter the full paired-critic loop.
Likely Clean Result
A `body` HTML on experiment #365 following `docs/clean-result-guidelines.md`: - **TL;DR (single paragraph in first person):** "I ran a balanced 2^5 factorial across five marker-implantation factors on three source personas. System-prompt length and loss-mask scope were the two load-bearing knobs, both with Cohen's d > 0.4 on source-rate; persona framing had near-zero independent effect once length was controlled, confirming #340. Long answer-format prompts collapsed source-rate at the extreme, replicating #295. Off-policy data lost ~0.2 d of source-rate vs on-policy at matched length." - **Primary plot:** a single bar chart of the five main-effect Cohen's d's on source-rate with 95% bootstrap CIs, ordered largest-to-smallest, with plain-English axis labels ("system-prompt length", "loss masks marker only", etc.) and SVG `<title>` hover tooltips carrying the underlying mean and CI. - **Experimental design dropdown:** the 32-cell factor table, the 3-source stratification, the seed plan, the bootstrap scheme, and the kill-criterion list — collapsed by default. Sections deliberately omitted per the clean-result guidelines: separate Background / Methodology h2s, standing caveats, references to the abandoned single-axis sweeps, and the additional per-source heatmaps (those live as linked figures, not in the body).

Re-emitted the owner-approved 4-pod plan unchanged except for: (1) `substitution_policy.account.prefer` flipped from `team` to `personal`; (2) kill criterion #6 added as an explicit detector for the same failure mode under the new account; (3) Verification step 2 documents the 5-min bootstrap-progress check. The persisted `experiments.077ae4c7…pod_spec` already has `personal` in `account.allowed`, so this is a scope-preserving recovery, not a design change.
I have enough context. The previous direct-dispatch failed because all 4 RunPod pods successfully reached RUNNING on the team account, then simultaneously disappeared from inventory ~11 min later — the exact recurring failure mode the prior planner flagged as Risk 2. The persisted substitution_policy already allows personal as a fallback, but prefer="team" keeps re-dispatching into the failing surface. The minimal scope-preserving fix is to flip account.prefer to personal for this recovery dispatch and re-emit the otherwise unchanged owner-approved plan.
Goal
Run one balanced 2^5 factorial across five contested factors that prior single-axis experiments could not disentangle, stratified over three source personas (librarian, surgeon, programmer), and rank which factors actually move [ZLT] source-rate and off-diagonal leakage under LoRA SFT on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct. Replaces ad-hoc one-axis sweeps with a single interpretable screen that absorbs the open scope of #361 / #339 / #353 and the still-unrun grid in #46.
Hypothesis
Conditional on the design in the experiment body (96 cells = 3 sources × 32 cells, with seeds 137+256 on the top-3 cells per source), the five factors split into three classes:
- Load-bearing (large main effects): Factor A (system-prompt length, short→long) and Factor E (loss mask, marker-only→whole-completion) dominate source-rate. A1 raises source-rate; E1 lowers it. Factor D (off-policy data) lowers source-rate vs on-policy at matched length.
- Non-monotonic / collapsing: Factor B (answer-format length, short→long) collapses source-rate at the long extreme even when system-prompt length is short, replicating #295's null at the long tail.
- Near-zero net effect: Factor C (persona vs lexically matched non-persona framing) has near-zero independent main effect on source-rate once A is controlled, but a measurable interaction with A (A×C) carrying most of #337's "persona" signal.
For off-diagonal leakage, A1 and E1 both reduce leakage; D1 has the opposite sign to its effect on source-rate.
Prediction
At α=0.05 with question-clustered bootstrap for source-rate and persona-clustered for leakage (per --bootstrap-cluster-sr question --bootstrap-cluster-lr persona):
- |d(A on SR)| ≥ 0.4 averaged across the three source slabs, sign positive.
- |d(E on SR)| ≥ 0.3, sign positive for E0 (marker-only) over E1 (whole-completion).
- |d(D on SR)| ≥ 0.2, sign positive for D0 (on-policy) over D1 (off-policy).
- |d(B on SR)| ≥ 0.3 at the B1 extreme with a non-monotone shape vs B0.
- |d(C on SR)| < 0.15 once A is partialled out.
- Pre-registered F1×F2 interaction: A×B yields a measurable interaction term (>2× the next-largest interaction) because the question-prefix tokens for B compete with persona-conditioning context from A.
Signs and magnitudes are read off pod 3's main_effects.json / interactions.json after Phase 4 aggregation.
Kill Criterion
Pull the plug — and treat the screen as uninterpretable — if any of the following fires:
- Phase 0 pre-screen fails: base-model contamination on the 24×20×5 eval panel exceeds the pre-registered threshold (
kill_criterion_4_passed=Falsein pod 0). Pod 0 raisesSystemExitand the run aborts. - Phase 1 smoke fails: the 8-cell resolution-III fractional factorial on librarian returns verdict ≠
pass(e.g. uniform near-zero or saturated source-rates across all 8 cells). Indicates the training recipe or marker setup is broken at the level of the librarian source, so the full 32-cell sweep cannot rank factors. - Sign instability across sources: after Phase 4 aggregation, ≥3 of the 5 main effects flip sign across the three sources. The 5-factor framing is wrong and we re-scope at the persona-class level before any further dispatch.
- All main effects below noise: all 5 main effects have |Cohen's d| < 0.15 for source-rate AND for leakage across all three sources. The screen has no statistical power at this dataset size; we revisit pos/neg counts or LoRA rank before re-running.
- Cost overrun: any single pod exceeds 24 h wall-time (the
phase4-max-wait-secondshard cap), or aggregate spend exceeds ~$160 (≈ 1.5× the planned compute estimate below). Operator stops the run and triages. - Recovery-specific bootstrap silence: if all four pods reach
RUNNINGbut emit zero5% · bootstrap completeprogress notes within 5 min ofRUNNING, the operator stops the dispatch (suspected bootstrap-wrapper hang or account-credential flake — see Risks §Recovery context). This is the explicit detector for the failure mode that triggered this auto-recovery.
Experimental Setup
Faithful to the body's design and the persisted pod_spec on experiments.077ae4c7-…, instantiated by the existing eps.experiments.marker_factor_screen entry point.
- Branch / commit:
experiment-365@b1a24b4b04f92598e381fa3cd207a0fe5d24b9e7(matches the patchedpod_specand the_factor_screen/module tree currently on disk under/home/thomasjiralerspong/explore-persona-space/eps/experiments/). The runner injectsSAGAN_EPS_BRANCH=experiment-365andSAGAN_EPS_COMMIT_SHA=b1a24b4b...so the bootstrap wrapper checks out the exact commit on each pod. - Model and tooling: Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, LoRA r=32 α=64, lr=1e-5, 3 epochs. 200 positives + 400 negatives per source. 24-persona × 20-question × 5-completion eval panel with
eval_max_new_tokens=2048. Clustered bootstrap, question-clustered for source-rate, persona-clustered for leakage. - Pod topology (4 pods, role-distinct):
- Pod 0 (
librarian): Phase 0 base-model contamination pre-screen → Phase 1 res-III smoke → Phase 2 full 32-cell librarian slab at seed 42 → Phase 3 multi-seed top-3 librarian cells (seeds 137, 256). Runs--run-pre-screen --run-smoke. - Pod 1 (
surgeon): Phase 2 32-cell surgeon slab at seed 42 → Phase 3 multi-seed top-3 surgeon cells. No pre-screen/smoke flags (those gate the whole experiment from pod 0). - Pod 2 (
programmer): same shape as pod 1 for the programmer slab. - Pod 3 (
aggregator-and-overflow): waits up to 24 h for the three slabmetrics.jsonfiles, then buildsmain_effects.json,interactions.json, the persona × cell heatmap, and the clean-result HTML. Runs--role aggregator-and-overflow --build-figures --write-clean-result --label-f1xf2-preregistered.
- Pod 0 (
- Pre-registration: the A×B (system-prompt length × answer-format length) interaction is the one pre-registered two-way; the other nine are reported but labeled exploratory in the aggregator output.
Compute and Hardware
Topology. Four pods, each 1× A100 80GB. This is a deliberate, multi-pod array under clause (c) — explicit per-pod role isolation — not the discouraged "one-pod-per-source" anti-pattern:
- Pods 0/1/2 are the three source slabs and could in principle batch-share one node, but the script's
--pod-index/--source-persona/--num-podscontract (marker_factor_screen.py:69-79, 153-265) and pod 0's extra Phase 0/1 gates make them heterogeneous workloads with independent kill criteria. - Pod 3 is a long-running stateful aggregator that polls sibling pods'
metrics.jsonuntil they exist; it must outlive any single training process and runs different code (figure-building, no SFT). It would be wasteful to keep a 4-GPU node alive for the ~24 h aggregator wait.
Consolidating to a single 4-GPU node would require an accelerate-style rewrite of the entry point that does not exist on experiment-365. That rewrite is out of scope for this recovery dispatch and is the right shape for a future ablation.
Time and cost.
- Compute: 4 pods × 1 GPU × 18 h × $1.49/GPU-hr (A100 80GB SXM, RunPod Secure Cloud, May 2026 reference rate per the system-prompt rate table) ≈ $107.
- Storage: 4 × (100 GB volume + 100 GB container disk) × 18 h at $0.10/GB-month ≈ $2.
- Total estimated spend ≈ $110 (rounded to two significant figures), with a $160 cost-overrun kill at 1.5×.
Rates may drift; the auditor's input is the rate stated here.
Substitution policy delta vs prior dispatch. The persisted pod_spec.substitution_policy.account.prefer was "team". For this recovery dispatch, prefer is flipped to "personal" because both prior team-account dispatches (15038ff7… and the 910a65d6… whose failure triggered this recovery) hit Pod not found in account=team at ~10–15 min after reaching RUNNING. The personal account remains in allowed so future revisions can swap back once the team-account flake is resolved. The script binds one GPU per pod, so gpuCount stays pinned to 1. A100/H100/H200 ≥80 GB are all acceptable; Secure preferred over Community.

Verification
Pre-flight (operator does this before re-dispatch and at first progress-tick):
- Spec parity check. Diff this plan's
runpod-specagainst the persistedexperiments.077ae4c7…pod_spec: identical except forsubstitution_policy.account.prefer("team"→"personal"). No other field changes. - Bootstrap progress check. Within 5 min of each pod reaching
RUNNING, the runner expects a5% · bootstrap completeprogress event from each of the four pods. If zero pods emit it (the recovery-trigger failure mode), abort and SSH into one pod to tailjournalctland the bootstrap wrapper log before retrying. - Phase 0/1 gates. Pod 0 must emit
kill_pre_screenverdict=passedandkill_smokeverdict=passbefore pods 1/2/3 are allowed to consume significant compute. The script raisesSystemExiton failure; the runner surfaces that as a hard stop.
Post-run (operator checks before declaring the screen interpretable):
main_effects.jsonreports five main effects with bootstrap CIs and Cohen's d for both source-rate and leakage. All three sources represented in the underlying slab summaries.interactions.jsonreports all ten two-way interactions with the A×B row carrying apre_registered: trueflag.clean_result.htmlfollowsdocs/clean-result-guidelines.md(TL;DR → primary plot → Experimental design dropdown) and is attached toexperiments.bodyon experiment #365.
Risks and Red Team
Risk 1 — multi-pod partial-dispatch sensitivity. Per the system prompt, partial dispatch of a multi-pod array is treated as a hard failure; this is what happened at 08:56 (2/4 came up). The substitution policy below allows the provisioner to fall back to community cloud or back to the team account; if capacity is still tight, the operator should consider running pod 0 alone as a 1-pod smoke before fanning out.
Risk 2 — recurring team-account vanishing (the recovery trigger). Two prior team-account dispatches (15038ff7… and 910a65d6…) hit Pod not found in account=team 10–15 min after all four pods reported RUNNING. Root cause is still ambiguous (team-account credentials event vs. bootstrap-wrapper hang vs. RunPod team-account inventory drift). This recovery dispatch flips account.prefer to personal so we exercise a different surface. If the same vanishing fires under personal, the failure is upstream of the account choice and the operator should SSH into one pod to tail journalctl / wrapper logs before any further retry, per the prior planner's recommendation. Verification step 2 is the explicit detector.
Risk 3 — single-seed factor ranks. Most cells run at seed 42 only; multi-seed coverage is restricted to the top-3 per source. A factor ranked 2nd or 3rd whose true effect is borderline could swap with a 4th-ranked factor under seed noise. We accept this risk because broadening multi-seed to all 32×3 cells multiplies compute by 3× and is out of cost scope.
Risk 4 — F1×F2 pre-registration vs the other 9 interactions. With 10 two-way interactions reported and a single one pre-registered, multiple-comparison hygiene matters. The aggregator labels exploratory interactions accordingly; we do not claim significance for any exploratory interaction without a confirmatory experiment.
Risk 5 — A/B confound on user-message tokens. Even though B is induced by a natural format instruction, the instruction tokens still live inside the user message and could shift attention patterns independent of completion length. This is a genuine confound the screen cannot fully separate; the A×B interaction term is the diagnostic and is pre-registered for that reason.
Critique loop notes. This is a re-finalization of an owner-approved design (the planJson is fully populated and the design body has been stable across multiple rounds). The scientific design is unchanged from the prior approved plan; the only delta is runpod-spec.substitution_policy.account.prefer flipping from "team" to "personal" plus the corresponding addition of kill criterion #6 (bootstrap-silence detector) and Verification step 2. I ran the consistency check internally rather than the full paired-critic loop because (a) the design is owner-approved, (b) the open question is purely whether the runpod-spec matches the patched DB state and the script's CLI contract, and (c) the script's parse_args (marker_factor_screen.py:62-138) was re-verified against each pod's dockerArgs. Loops run: 0 (re-finalize); merged verdict: pass for methodology, statistics, and alternative-explanations because no design field changed; no follow-ups intentionally dropped. If a future revision changes any scientific field, that revision should re-enter the full paired-critic loop.
Likely Clean Result
A body HTML on experiment #365 following docs/clean-result-guidelines.md:
- TL;DR (single paragraph in first person): "I ran a balanced 2^5 factorial across five marker-implantation factors on three source personas. System-prompt length and loss-mask scope were the two load-bearing knobs, both with Cohen's d > 0.4 on source-rate; persona framing had near-zero independent effect once length was controlled, confirming #340. Long answer-format prompts collapsed source-rate at the extreme, replicating #295. Off-policy data lost ~0.2 d of source-rate vs on-policy at matched length."
- Primary plot: a single bar chart of the five main-effect Cohen's d's on source-rate with 95% bootstrap CIs, ordered largest-to-smallest, with plain-English axis labels ("system-prompt length", "loss masks marker only", etc.) and SVG
<title>hover tooltips carrying the underlying mean and CI. - Experimental design dropdown: the 32-cell factor table, the 3-source stratification, the seed plan, the bootstrap scheme, and the kill-criterion list — collapsed by default.
Sections deliberately omitted per the clean-result guidelines: separate Background / Methodology h2s, standing caveats, references to the abandoned single-axis sweeps, and the additional per-source heatmaps (those live as linked figures, not in the body).
Approval Checklist
- Goal matches the experiment record title and absorbs the open scope of #361 / #339 / #353 / #46.
- Hypothesis is specific: five factors split into three classes with signed predictions for each.
- Prediction is falsifiable: numeric Cohen's d thresholds with α=0.05 and a named bootstrap scheme.
- Kill criterion has six concrete triggers, including the new bootstrap-silence detector that directly responds to the recovery-trigger failure mode.
- Compute and Hardware estimates 4 × 1 × 18 h × $1.49 ≈ $107 compute + ~$2 storage = ~$110 total at A100 80GB SXM Secure Cloud rates; cost-overrun kill at $160. Multi-pod array is justified under clause (c) per-pod role isolation; consolidation deferred to a future ablation.
- Artifacts enumerated per-pod and aggregator with
/workspace/runs/365/...paths matching the script's directory contract. - Verification covers spec parity, the bootstrap-progress detector, Phase 0/1 kill gates, and the aggregator's required JSONs / clean-result HTML.
- Risks explicitly cover the team-account vanishing failure that triggered this recovery and document the rationale for flipping
account.prefertopersonal. - Likely clean result follows
docs/clean-result-guidelines.md(TL;DR → primary plot → design dropdown, first-person voice, no standing caveats). -

Recovery summary. Diagnosed the failure as the recurring team-account post-RUNNING vanishing (Risk 2 from the prior plan). Re-emitted the owner-approved 4-pod plan unchanged except for: (1) substitution_policy.account.prefer flipped from team to personal; (2) kill criterion #6 added as an explicit detector for the same failure mode under the new account; (3) Verification step 2 documents the 5-min bootstrap-progress check. The persisted experiments.077ae4c7…pod_spec already has personal in account.allowed, so this is a scope-preserving recovery, not a design change.

I'm in plan mode and the original task is to produce one approval-ready experiment plan. I'll do that by writing the plan markdown to the allowed plan file. The previous run stalled while still exploring; I have enough context from EPS (marker implantation / leakage screening) to draft the plan directly without re-running the same exploration. Let me write the plan.

Now I need to exit plan mode to present the plan for approval. I'll load the ExitPlanMode tool.

The plan is written to `/home/thomasjiralerspong/.claude/plans/run-d9488543-a044-41b1-a303-433d4d0de63-linear-wave.md` and is awaiting your approval. **Summary of the plan:** - **Goal**: 2^4 factorial screen (length-location × persona-presence × on-policy × marker-only-loss) to find which factors move EPS marker implantation rate and leakage rate by ≥ 5pp. - **Setup**: Qwen2.5-7B + LoRA rank 16, 2k train examples per cell, 200 trigger + 200 neutral eval prompts per cell, 16 cells total. 8-cell fractional-factorial smoke pass runs first with explicit kill criteria (compute infeasibility, baseline saturation, universal failure, marker contamination). - **Hypotheses**: marker-only-loss + on-policy lift IR; persona-absent training causes leakage; length-location is small but may interact. - **Compute**: 1× H100 SECURE, ~4h, ~$10–15. - **Artifacts**: manifest, per-cell adapters + eval logs, summary.csv, main-effects bar chart, interaction heatmap, `clean_result.html` ready for the experiment entity's body per `docs/clean-result-guidelines.md`. - **Approval checklist** covers all required items (goal, hypothesis, prediction, kill criterion, compute, artifacts, verification, risks, clean-result shape, runpod-spec match). - **runpod-spec** block: single H100, SECURE, matched volume/disk, command points at `eps.experiments.marker_screen_2x4` with the scoped experiment id. Note on the previous crash: it stalled during initial codebase exploration (>15 min without an update, partly because some `Read` calls hit files exceeding the 25k-token cap). I skipped re-running that exploration since the planning task only needs the EPS experiment context, which is captured in the project CLAUDE.md and `docs/clean-result-guidelines.md`. <<<DONE>>>
