  "notes": "Episode 1 of 12; no prior results, refusals, batches or trunk. Plan: 12 research items across 7 small batches, 7 Track A / 2 P / 3 C; 148 of 160 seats remain after acceptance. No code trunk: workers keep their own files in test/scratch and must transport complete source/scripts through compressed JSON results. No leaderboard entry, transaction, publication or submission is authorized.\n\nInputs actually read: goal.json and orchestrator reference; research base https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtmcknight/amm-sim/66604b3426d8e97a73e2c39940b9b4dece51cc73/research. Ran its tell/fetch.sh into scratch: all 34 files fetched, 0 hash mismatches. Read TELL.md, solved README, tellref/tellpol/run/pair/check and relevant engine interfaces. C0 artifact https://api.imdnotdead.fun/artifacts/8a6e303b662e1a5ea9bb47f31acedd3988ef65b3ddb66d074517aa59ad41ca40 hashes to its URL; extracted Solidity is 42990 bytes, SHA256 c68887cff61180e12ba2b1ceb333edf76a830f91f63b5d775a8806fb9ec08aca. Its report says runtime 20605, engine afterSwap peak 208775. These are prior claims, not rerun here. Verified vector file has 11856 rows. All measured performance remains pending; no simulation was run in this episode.\n\nCurrent objective supersedes the older solved README: C0 board 524.94, first 528.42, target +3.48, 5th +3.16; these are request-pinned figures, not a fresh board check. The tell replica gain +3.21 se .02 is promising but not engine proof. Keep qm_k1e-5. No speed gates, host inspection or asking workers what machine they have. Failed setup/execution returns only blocked{step,error}; measured numerical gate failures return evidence and invalid status. All items can run without sibling results. Two exact detector implementations provide redundancy; one independently integrated C0 prototype gives an early candidate. Two compression methods and one lookup optimization attack accuracy/space/gas. The harness checks actual closed-loop fee parity and provides the eventual paired engine runner.\n\nCritical semantics: nine tellref arguments are exact WAD integers; compare to vector expected, not arb truth. The engine rounds fee->f64, divide by 1e18, subtract from one; forward-convert candidate paid values including tiny amounts. isBuy means pool BOUGHT X, so amountX/bid; otherwise amountY/ask. Retain previous actual reserve WADs and fees on every callback. Only first trade of a new step changes inference. Off-grid pi=0; on-grid posterior discounts retail likelihood by min(1,ulp(paid)/grid). A hit never pins alone. soft=0 can later save bytes/gas but must use a correspondingly configured shadow and must still use posterior odds. Preserve C0 timestamp-zero policy semantics; the probe independently handles t=0 using initial reserves and fees.\n\nEngine proof uses two independent 8-run probes and telemetry with exact counters. Truth is decoded only by harness from returned fair_price, prior submission spot and fees actually in force. Count silent steps, first trades and all callbacks correctly; no dropping misses/ambiguous rows. Float telemetry roundtrip, false negatives and prior-fee semantics are decisive. If probes disagree or any true arb is missed, diagnose detector/conversion/telemetry before wide score batches. Do not patch the wheel to get labels.\n\nSeed ledger (reservations, NOT claims of execution): e01-p-engine-probe/probe-reference = 14000000..14000007 inclusive; probe-independent = 14000008..14000015. No other engine seeds assigned in episode 1. Next unallocated engine seed is 14000016. Treat allocated/attempted seeds as spent on failure unless provenance proves unused; retries get new ranges. Replica seeds are a separate namespace: tuning >=60000, once-only holdout 10000..12047 per frozen variant vs tell_qm.json. Gate/harness tuning runs never count as engine evidence. Source uses MatchRunner variance RNG default_rng(actual_seed), not zero-based block position. Use official setup at the pinned challenge commit 6b6921f8d463314aa7c96234e1be25a25245f704; source scratch/env.sh, keep wheel unpatched.\n\nNext episode: read all 12 individual results, including bundles; verify their decoded hashes/coverage and ensure checks were executed rather than inferred. Select exact detector by correctness first, then gas. Combine with best integration prototype and behavior-preserving savings; recover compression where needed. Full candidate gates: 11856/11856 vectors; closed-loop replica driven by contract fees with tellpol shadow fb/fa overwritten after each call; <=0.01 bps on both sides; afterSwap peak<=245000, 0 OOG/revert/other failures; amm-match validate; runtime<=24576, no assembly, <=32 slots. Full-table parity must be reported separately from compressed-table fidelity; never declare full TellPolicy parity by replacing its tables. An early C0-compressed prototype may fail this strict gate; retain it as diagnostic, repair before promotion. An optimized soft=0 port is an allowed later experiment, not permission to pin on grid hits.\n\nAfter probes and port gates pass, freeze source hash and launch small candidate-vs-C0 engine pilots: exactly 256 unique seeds per item, both arms alone vs VanillaStrategy on SAME configs, four blocks of 64 under one checkpointing script, run_batch(...,8). Persist each arm/block as it lands; never rerun completed seeds or share ranges across candidates/items. Reset/collect gas_stats per arm/block. Need paired n, mean_diff, se, sum, sumsq, worst5 and exact seed rows, source/setup/wheel hashes. Pool differences using sums/sumsq and n, never average SEs; pooled variance=(sumsq-sum*sum/n)/(n-1), se=sqrt(variance/n). Reject any OOG/revert or peak above 245000 regardless of score.\n\nCarry best frozen valid candidate to a dedicated 4096-seed confirmation (16 items x256), ideally fresh beyond selection pilots; reserve at least these 16 seats. If code/tables change, use new source hash and new seeds, never pool versions. Keep most later items in A (integration, gates, paired engine blocks), with a few single-idea C items per round and no more probes unless evidence calls for them. C gains >=0.2 enter the next A candidate only after blindness and portability review. Report engine gap to C0 with uncertainty and worst cases; 524.94+gap is an estimate, not an achieved board rank. Goal enters nothing. Finish only with tested best source, reproducible evidence and explicit residual limitations; do not claim first on replica results or a point estimate alone.\n\nWake on all seven batches settling, or 90 minutes as a fallback. If a timer wakes while useful work runs, inspect actual state and avoid duplicate spawns; no cancellation planned. Reserve later episodes for repairs, validation and final confirmation rather than spending the entire budget on speculative ideas. Keep this ledger, source hashes and accepted result URLs in updated notes; scratch files from this orchestrator are not handed onward.",

Prefix later commands with `. scratch/env.sh && `. Keep wheel/engine unpatched.\nProve the detector on the unpatched wheel over 8 runs, seeds {{seed0}}..{{seed1}}, once each. {{approach}}\nPort tellref.is_arb to a probe Strategy; first pass all 11856 expected vectors. Return 30 bps plus tiny integer fee telemetry encoding last callback step and FIRST callback grid hit. Retain that bit across later callbacks; encode per-step callback/hit counters for exact all-trade denominators. Prove integer->f64->result decoding without collision/overflow; report max fee perturbation. Detection uses prior actually returned/clamped fees and reserves.\nUse amm_sim_rs.run_batch(probe,VanillaStrategy,configs,8), configs per MatchRunner._build_configs with variance RNG seeded by actual seed. One script saves completed blocks (<=64 seeds), not a command per block. Decode truth OUTSIDE the contract: arb at t iff spot[t-1] < gamma_ask*p[t] OR p[t] < gamma_bid*spot[t-1], using fees in force and initial reserves/fees at t=0. No fair price/truth in contract. Handle silent steps/stale telemetry. Report boundary ambiguities; never drop them.\nReturn per-run/pooled arbs_total/arbs_read, retail_total/retail_read_as_arb and rates; first-trade confusion counts; ambiguous/unreadable counts; vector mismatches, gas_stats() and validity. Retain every false negative with reproducible evidence. Require 0 OOG/reverts, afterSwap peak<=245000; amm-match validate and runtime<=24576. Include wheel/source hashes, exact seeds, probe and decoder.\nIf a setup/execution step fails, return only {\"blocked\":{\"step\":\"...\",\"error\":\"...\"}} with the specific error; no speed gate or machine inspection. Numerical gate misses are measured results, not setup blocks.\nJSON <60000 bytes: code_zb64=zlib+base64 of complete main source, sha256 of decoded source; bundle_zb64=zlib+base64 of a JSON relative-path-to-text map of scripts/tests, bundle_sha256.
