On entry: 39/200 items used, 18 batches, 24 items still running, 0 failed, 0 refused, effects.pending 0; nine results handed, all nine sha256 equal to the task's list. Requester note 6 (04:50Z) is followed: a TEST ONLY of an engine code-path tell (measurement; no Solidity, no submission).\n\nSPAWNED (8 items; 47/200 if all accepted):\n- e06-tell-port (o1-a replica seeds 74000..74007, o1-b 74100..74107): exact Python port of cfmm.rs/arbitrageur.rs/router.rs driven by replica2's streams with COMBO; the path test on sell-side trades; buy-side tells; share of COMBO's first-trade errors the tell removes; the arithmetic a contract would need (words only).\n- e06-tell-engine (o2-a engine seeds 9950000..9950007, o2-b 9950008..9950015, o2-c 9950016..9950023): engine built from source with a logging patch (TradeInfo wads, fees, is_arb, f64 bits), qt1 as submission against VanillaStrategy, the same matrix, and whether a Python redo of each path gives the engine's wads. Its setup script is the objective's with the wheel replaced by rustup + maturin, as note 6 asks. I ran that script and `maturin develop --release` in a scratch clone here (16 s and 55 s on 4 cores, exit 0, amm_sim_rs imports); no simulation, no engine seed. Brief 2,898 characters filled.\n- e06-side-flag (combo, qt1): ORACLE value of a one-sided perfect flag (FlagSell = only when the pool sells X, replica is_buy False; FlagBuy; FlagAll) on COMBO and on qt1's QMRef, report window first. It prices a sell-side-only tell on each base. qt1 matters: its contract peaks at 208,775 gas, 36k under the 245,000 cap, against cp-c's 229,596 (15k under), so a tell may fit on qt1 and not on COMBO.\n- e06-stack (net-head): routing's classifier net + HEAD8 (9-decimal weights) stacked on COMBO, nothing retrained: do the two small gains add?\n\nSOURCE CHECK DONE HERE. Read the pinned engine files (amm-challenge @6b6921f8): note 6's description is right (execute_sell_x takes X and computes total_y = net_y/gamma; execute_buy_x_with_y takes Y and computes x_out). arbitrageur.rs calls execute_sell_x (line 89) and execute_buy_x (138); router.rs calls execute_buy_x_with_y (156, 199, 210) and execute_buy_x (167, 225, 236): the buy side shares one function. wad.rs: from_f64 = (value * WAD as f64) as i128. MatchRunner._build_configs uses i both for np.random.default_rng(seed=i) and SimulationConfig.seed: a fresh seed is that body with i = the seed. Replica convention: on_trade(is_buy=False) is the pool selling X.\n\nRESULTS ARE CONTENT-ADDRESSED: a handed result is served at https://api.imdnotdead.fun/artifacts/<sha256 of its bytes> (checked: routing 97a141c5..., eight-output a2d5a0de..., information-b ef0264d5...). Hand a result's bundle to later items that way. The COMBO page (d360bea6...) states the sha256 of its four files, so a brief can cite it instead of four hashes.\n\nEVIDENCE READ (report 10000..12047, n=2048, unless said; gate P matched the README in every result):\n- loss-a: PricePol (true price, rival tracked from own trades, COMBO's tables at sd 0) is +8.0218 se .0459 over HA, +3.7190 se .0241 over COMBO, +4.3164 over qt1 (the expected +8.50 is the README's row on pol_mid tables). On 64000..64255 the PricePol-COMBO gap is 61.5% arb loss; steps whose quote was set with belief error >= 10 bps are 37% of steps and 95.5% of the gap; right-call steps carry 72.6%, wrong-call 22.4%; ambiguous with 0 silent steps 53%. The loss is belief precision after trades called retail, more than the call itself.\n- qt1-strata: flag on qt1 +3.1675 se .0224; only on small trades +2.1690; only in phase 1 +2.2676 (not additive). qt1 errs on 17.31% of first trades.\n- combo-strata: flag on COMBO +2.5701 se .0208; only in prev1/gap1, amountY<10, pin age 2-5 (6.8% of first trades, error 27.6%) +0.4910; its pin 6+ twin (4.0%, 30.7%) +0.3623. COMBO errs on 16.12%: false-arb 1,339,200, false-retail 979,051.\n- routing: 12-input 16-tanh int16 net with logit guard +-3 replacing pi: NET-COMBO choose +.0563 se .0123, report +.0780 se .0091 (+.6754 over qt1); GBT teacher +.1193; unguarded nets lose up to 30 on single seeds; gas 15-30k, an estimate. history: +.0375 se .0075 over COMBO. The classifier line is worth about +0.1.\n- sixteen-symmetric: +.0177 se .0074 over COMBO after 4 generations; random 1-4 bps fee changes lose 0.6 to 4.9: COMBO sits near a local optimum.\n- information-b: IG2 tables, kappa 0 / 1e-5 / 3e-5 / 1e-4: C-COMBO -.283 / -.016 / -1.040 / -16.87. With the true flag kappa 1e-5 adds +.1027 se .0076. Closed for live policies.\n- posterior-b BLOCKED (30 of 1024 choose seeds; its prototype loses 122 per seed: a bug, not evidence). bs-b INCOMPLETE (a census of COMBO's sd/pi/phase transitions, no solver; dp.py and qmdp.py need numpy and numba). Neither is evidence against its line; posterior-a and bs-a still run.\n\nWHERE THE GOAL STANDS. Best frozen observable policies on report: COMBO +0.597 over qt1, COMBO+net +0.675, COMBO+HEAD8 +0.674. #1 needs about +3.6 over qt1 on the replica (the requester's 0.97 ratio: a heuristic, not a certified conversion). Every observable-only line so far adds about +0.1, so stacked they reach roughly +0.7 to +0.9, about 7th. Only the true flag moves whole points (+2.57 on COMBO, +3.17 on qt1: about 5th or 6th by the same heuristic). If the tell is real it gives the flag on the sell side exactly; e06-side-flag prices that half.\n\nEPISODE 7 SHOULD:\n1. Read o1/o2. The tell is real only if, on the real engine (o2) as on the port, sell-side first trades match their own path and not the other almost always, and o2's redo reproduces the engine's wads. Put the matrix in notes for the requester. Using the tell in a contract or a submission is NOT decided here: note 6 allows measurement only, so wait for the requester's word before any Solidity. Replica work is allowed: if the tell is real, spawn per base (qt1, COMBO) a policy that takes the flag from the test on sell-side first trades inside o1's exact port (o1's bundle by artifact URL), paired against its base, and the same with kappa 1e-5 IG2 tables.\n2. If e05-fast-sim passed parity (384 pairs within 1e-6) at >= 50 runs/s/core, spawn note 5's three (c++) head items on it (module by artifact URL), in resumable stages with full-precision weights and optimizer state in the bundle; train on NET if e06-stack shows the gains add.\n3. posterior-a / bs-a: if they also ran out of time, split each into a solver stage (numpy and numba allowed) and a scoring stage, or drop the line.\n4. Contract only for a frozen observable policy >= +0.5 over qt1 on report AND beyond cp-c's ComboG4 (+0.6018, goal 5b196d0a): read e05-head-cost first (a head must cost under about 12k gas at the peak). Gates F, size, gas and engine pairing as the objective says.\n5. Budget: 153 items and episodes 7..10 remain. Episode 8 is the last that can start a contract port and still see it confirmed (9) and written up (10).\n\nSEEDS. Replica: data 70000..72255; classifiers 73000..73639; o1 74000..74007 and 74100..74107; choose 64000..65023; report 10000..12047. Engine: 9900000..9900015 reserved for e05-head-cost (next free there 9900016); 9950000..9950023 given to e06-tell-engine (next free 9950024).\n\nKEYS: e06-tell-port/o1-a,o1-b; e06-tell-engine/o2-a,o2-b,o2-c; e06-side-flag/combo,qt1; e06-stack/net-head; earlier keys are in the notes of episodes 4 and 5 (all pending ones are in this episode's read). Other pending keys are unknown; small batches hand their results unasked, so never guess a key.\n\nWAKE: the four e06 batches, e05-fast-sim, e05-head-cost, else 70 minutes. No submission until the requester asks the user. finish=false.",
