Two banks from the S75 redraft workflow (7 overlay functions, one agent each,
every claimed MATCH re-verified by an independent agent instructed to refute
it). Both were carried as F-FAR "a draft exists but is materially wrong":
func_801806F8 ov_SC03_105 241 ins (recorded closeness 235)
func_80180ABC ov_SC03_105 257 ins (recorded closeness 250)
Neither needed a better model. Both needed the recorded closeness not to be
believed -- see below.
frontier_classify.py, THREE fixes, each caught by testing against a case whose
answer was already known:
1. BEST closeness, not LAST. .run/backlog.jsonl is append-only, one row per
attempt across every lane and session, so the last row is evidence about
THAT LANE'S SEED, not about the function. Caught func_80180B3C (best 125,
last 287) and moved func_80181294 from "redraft" to "permuter" (best 19).
The draft that ACHIEVED the best score is kept, not the last one written.
2. journal_notes.py wired in as a SECOND, DISAGREEING oracle (R34). The backlog
does not have what the agent journals have. Measured on func_8017DB98:
backlog best == last == 115, so best-vs-last could not help, while the
journal holds "Attempt 2 (MATCH · closeness 0) ... MATCH 122/122 ... BANK
BLOCKER is TU plumbing, not the body (§376/§378)" WITH the draft path and the
exact declaration to change. Reclassified 37 functions; G-DRAFTED-UNKNOWN
fell 47 -> 10 and a new C-PLUMBING class holds 16 functions / 1,547 ins whose
BODIES ARE PROVEN and are blocked only by the TU.
3. A consuming-regex bug in my own extractor -- the session's signature defect,
committed a third time in the tool written to find it. The first cut used
`re.finditer(r'\*\*Attempt \d+\*\* \(([^)]*)\)(.{0,400})', ..., re.S)`, whose
400-char body window SWALLOWS THE NEXT ATTEMPT'S HEADER, so every record
following another was invisible. On func_8017DB98 it hid attempts 2 AND 6,
both `MATCH · closeness 0`, and returned attempt 1's NEAR (2) as the best --
exactly the records the oracle exists to find. Now splits on the marker
rather than consuming past it. A regex that consumes an unbounded body cannot
enumerate the items after the first.
Rows now carry attempts, closeness_last, journal_closeness, and a
!!WARMSTART-REGRESSION flag when a later attempt scored materially worse than
the best -- the shape a wave's warm-start regression makes, which from inside
the wave is indistinguishable from an unsolved function.
Gate ledger for the batch of 7: 2 banked, 3 near, 2 failed. func_800CB00C failed
despite being adversarially upheld -- it owns a jump table, and both matchers
compare .text only, so a verified .text MATCH proves nothing about table
placement (the agent's own write-up says so).
func_8016AE5C (ov_SC03_108) was logged "match_one MATCH but the whole-binary
gate rejected -- CAUSE NOT DETERMINED". Determined: the body is byte-perfect (0
differing words inside the function; all 1,168 diffs are uniform +0x20 shifts
outside it) and it emits an 8-entry jump table that was never carved. It banked
unchanged the moment the §446 jtbl_carve per-table bound landed.
tools/frontier_classify.py (NEW) — classify every open stub by its TRUE BLOCKER
from artifacts already on disk (R33/offline-tooling-first: zero tokens, no
agents, no builds). "69 functions left" is a stub count, not a difficulty
measure, and routing drafting agents at carve or plumbing problems wastes them.
A-TWIN-REMAP 3 302 a byte-identical copy is already banked elsewhere
B-CARVE 11 3,301 owns a switch jump table -> the §446 class
D-NEAR 2 106 closeness <=25 -> permuter fuel, not drafting
F-FAR 3 223 draft materially wrong -> redraft
G-DRAFTED-UNK 49 8,724 drafted before, no usable verdict on record
H-VIRGIN 1 1 never drafted (and it is a DATA BLOB, not a function)
68 of 69 remaining functions already have a draft on disk. The endgame is a
verification/integration problem, not a drafting one.
TWO SELF-INFLICTED DEFECTS FOUND BY CHECKING AGAINST KNOWN-TRUE CASES, both the
session's recurring shape (a scan narrower than the claim it supports, R32):
* The sig directory is NOT the fleet. Alongside the 213 real binaries `.run/`
holds `SLUS_007.26` (a STALE duplicate of main under the ROM filename),
`resident_image`, and two CROSS-BUILD binaries (`sep8_SLUS_007.26`,
`aug31_USA_DEMO.EXE`). Counting them as peers reported 38 fns / 7,516 ins of
free twin-remaps -- mostly main "already banked" in ITSELF, the rest proven
in a PROTOTYPE that R13 forbids as evidence. Now derives the fleet from the
Makefile and prints what it ignored. True figure: 3 fns / 302 ins.
* The draft scan globbed `.run/S7*` only, missing `.run/S69m2`, `.run/S68m1`,
`.run/s67m1`, `.run/wave_ds2`, `.run/gate_lane`, `.run/backlog_drafts`. All
32 drafted main functions read as "never drafted", which would have sent
agents to redraft 6,328 instructions that already have drafts. Now one
pruned os.walk of .run (worktrees excluded -- 7.4 GB of duplicate sources).
Honest negative result: resident:func_800D06E8 (344 ins) did NOT bank. I
predicted the carve fix would clear it; it did not. Its blocker is still open.
