 "notes": "Episode 2 of 12. Items used 12+6=18 of 160.\nLEARNED (ep1 results, URLs = https://api.imdnotdead.fun/artifacts/<sha256 of result>, workers can fetch them):\n- bounded-bitmath (22122152...1d905): TellMath.isArb + ulpOverGridWad, 11856/11856 vectors + 6892 edge vectors, 0 mismatch; inline gas mean 17.2k max 20.9k; harness runtime 2949 B; code_sha256 77075345...0e92. CHOSEN detector.\n- literal-rational (122533c0...a38): also 11856/11856; backup.\n- lookup-headroom (9093159e...3741): C0 with cheaper lookup, fees bit-identical (218129 trace calls, 0 diff), forge afterSwap peak -11.7k, runtime 20128 (-477 B), code_sha256 85ba1c4b...60f5.\n- probe-reference (b0cb4b28...3495), seeds 14000000..07: 29091/29091 arbs read at 30 bps, retail read as arb 2.86% at 30 bps (pool fee = Vanilla's 30 bps -> router split lands on grid); at 35 bps 0.124% and 1 FN of 24807. Requester: probe settled; candidate fees must never sit on rival's 30 bps. Probe-independent blocked (own harness error, seeds 14000008..15 count as spent).\n- Table recovery (replica holdout vs C0 compressed TellPolicy): adaptive-linear-grid QPL1 (ce5b4e6f...) +0.102 se .006, 10160 B blob, no Solidity yet; sparse-spline-residual SRS1 (cc399856...) +0.051 se .005, ~2980 B extra. C0 compression costs ~0.112 vs tell_qm on holdout. Requester: leave new table formats for the round after -> next A round: port QPL1 (best) into the winning candidate.\n- b02 integration blocked on 404 (imports are under contracts/src/); b05 harness blocked by its machine (rosetta). b07 between-pin blocked on own path bug. Two e01-c-replica items still running; read their results when handed.\nDECIDED (per requester note 2026-11-10): batch e02-a-min-candidate, 4 independent items: min-1/2/3 = C0 + bounded-bitmath isArb + odds rule + 30bps-gamma guard, through gates, then paired engine blocks vs C0; min-lookup = same on lookup-headroom base. Batch e02-c-replica: between-pin (mended rerun of b07 idea), give-away.\nSEED LEDGER (engine): 14000000..15 probes (spent). min-1 14000016..14000271, min-2 14000272..527, min-3 14000528..783, min-lookup 14000784..14001039 (all reserved, spent once attempted). Next unallocated 14001040. Replica: tune >=60000, holdout 10000..12047 once per frozen variant.\nNEXT: verify each min item's gates were executed (vectors, closed-loop <=0.01 bps vs TellPolicy with C0 decoded tables, engine peak<=245000, 0 OOG, validate, size). Three copies of the same candidate have different hashes: never pool across sources; compare their paired means as replication. Pick the best gated source (prefer lookup base if it passes: more gas headroom). Then: (a) extend chosen frozen source to 256+ seeds per item on new ranges; (b) code QPL1 table port onto it as a new candidate with its own gates; (c) once a frozen best exists, 16x256 = 4096-seed confirmation on fresh seeds (reserve 16 seats). Pool by sums/sumsq, never average SEs. Target: candidate - C0 >= +3.48 for 1st, +3.16 for 5th; report 524.94+gap as an estimate only. Goal enters nothing.\n",
