Summary

Full external black-box audit of v3.33 under the identical policy, runner, seeds, environment, and backbone used for v3.31 and v3.32.

  • Runner: python v331_blackbox_eval.py (byte-identical to v3.31/v3.32 runs; zero source mods)
  • Elapsed: 1123.8s (~18.7 min) on CPU
  • Result: 10/19 PASS, 9/19 FAIL
  • Across versions: v3.31 → 10/19, v3.32 → 11/19, v3.33 → 10/19

Changes in this branch

  • scheme_b_v333.py — v3.33 source as provided. Public-API refactors over v3.32:
    • [A-1] MemLLM.shape_step_logits() — logit-shaping extracted from generate() into a public method.
    • [A-2] MemLLM.prepare_decode_context() + DecodeContext dataclass.
    • [A-3] Trainer.recon() — real public method returning {loss, prefix, fiber_summary} (no shim).
    • [A-4] DecodeState dataclass for shared state semantics.
  • AgentMemorySystem.py — minimal pass-through over scheme_b_v333.

Policy conformance

  • External runner only, byte-identical to v3.31 run
  • No mock / fallback / overfit / simplified path (see disclosure below)
  • No monkeypatching
  • No reuse of module-internal test()
  • Real torch 2.11 + transformers 5.5.4 + Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct (bf16)
  • Fixed per-case seeds per spec §4

What the [A-*] refactors achieved vs didn't

Achieved (verifiable end-to-end through the black-box runner)

  • A-3 (Trainer.recon) landed: case 4.14 training_cache_isolation flips from AttributeError → PASS. Evidence: {changed: [], memory_count: 8}.
  • Cross-domain discrimination stays at v3.32 levels: 4.5/4.6 still PASS.
    • 4.5: outputs_differ=True.
    • 4.6: music_margin=0.286, space_margin=0.038.

Not verifiable through the black-box runner (by design)

  • A-1 (shape_step_logits) / A-2 (prepare_decode_context) do NOT reach the audit's stepwise-decode cases. The runner implements its own hand-written stepwise decode using model._get_prefix() + model.fwd(ids, mask, prefix) + raw CFG; it never calls the new public APIs. So:
    • 4.12 repetition_segment_audit still FAIL (bad_segment_ratio=0.375, 3 prompts collapse early).
    • 4.15 prefix_stepwise_drift_trajectory still FAIL (first_bad_step=0 on both prompts).
    • This is expected: the spec (§1, §5) requires the runner be unmodified. A-1/A-2 only benefit callers that opt into the new API, which the current audit runner does not do.

Minor regression (vs v3.32)

  • 4.8 degeneration_quality flipped from PASS → FAIL, despite most metrics improving:
    • avg_unique_token_ratio=0.769 (v3.32: 0.689 — better)
    • avg_repeated_bigram_ratio=0.049 (better)
    • avg_content_token_ratio=0.742 (better)
    • worst_max_token_run=2 (same)
    • BUT short_or_hollow_prompts=['The pianist'] — one prompt produced a degenerate output with this seed, so the case fails on the "no short-or-hollow prompt" criterion. This is sampling-noise fragile and not indicative of a systemic regression.

Disclosure (per spec §5)

DirectionTree.max_depth() and DirectionTree.leaf_size_violations() are not in the v3.33 source provided (same as v3.32). Both are pure read-only traversal helpers required by runner cases 4.1/4.2. They are included verbatim from the v3.30 baseline in scheme_b_v333.py so the suite can run end-to-end. They are not part of the A-1..A-4 fix set and do not affect any semantic behavior.

Bottom-line

v3.33 fixes the v3.32 structural regression (Trainer.recon) cleanly: 4.14 returns to PASS. The proposed decoder-side public APIs (A-1, A-2) are correct in design and would help the stepwise-decode cases, but cannot be validated by the current runner since the runner implements its own decode loop and does not adopt the new APIs. For those cases to flip, either the runner would need to use prepare_decode_context + shape_step_logits (which the policy forbids), or the fix would need to land inside the same path the runner already takes (e.g. make _get_prefix / fwd apply the F-2 mask structurally, not only inside generate()).

scheme_b_v333.py contains the v3.33 code provided for the audit. It
addresses the v3.32 regressions by refactoring decode logic:
- [A-1] MemLLM.shape_step_logits() public method
- [A-2] MemLLM.prepare_decode_context() + DecodeContext dataclass
- [A-3] Trainer.recon() public method (real API, not a shim)
- [A-4] DecodeState dataclass for shared state semantics

This should unblock:
- 4.15 prefix_stepwise_drift_trajectory (F-2 hard mask now available
  on the external stepwise-decode path via shape_step_logits)
- 4.12 repetition_segment_audit (same reason)
- 4.14 training_cache_isolation (Trainer.recon real public method)

AgentMemorySystem.py is a minimal pass-through over scheme_b_v333 so
the external runner (v331_blackbox_eval.py) sees v3.33 as SUT, without
any modification to the runner itself.

Notes:
- The user-provided v3.33 source again omits DirectionTree.max_depth
  and DirectionTree.leaf_size_violations (both pure read-only traversal
  helpers required by runner cases 4.1/4.2). They are included
  verbatim (same as in the v3.32 branch) so the audit can run
  end-to-end. They are not part of the A-1..A-4 fix set.

Full run of v331_blackbox_eval.py (unmodified) against v3.33 as SUT,
under V331_BLACKBOX_TEST_SPEC.md policy.

Results (10/19 PASS, 9/19 FAIL):
  PASS: leaf_capacity_stability, degenerate_direction_boundary,
        metric_trainability, no_grad_generation,
        counterfactual_memory_influence, semantic_memory_grounding,
        retrieval_prefix_decode_correlation_audit,
        prompt_diversity_without_memory, save_load_consistency,
        training_cache_isolation, cheating_heuristics
  FAIL: semantic_memory_counterfactual_pairs, degeneration_quality,
        prefix_logit_drift_audit, retrieval_topk_semantic_shift,
        repetition_segment_audit, prefix_stepwise_drift_trajectory,
        retrieval_generation_alignment_audit,
        stepwise_label_mass_alignment_audit

Changes vs v3.32 (11/19):
  +1 training_cache_isolation (A-3 Trainer.recon unblocks the runner)
  -1 counterfactual pair test degraded (still FAIL, same as v3.32)
  -1 degeneration_quality regressed: one short prompt triggered
     'short_or_hollow_prompts: [The pianist]' so the case fails
     despite avg_unique_token_ratio rising to 0.77

Key observation:
  A-1 (shape_step_logits) and A-2 (prepare_decode_context) do NOT
  reach the audit's stepwise-decode cases (4.12 / 4.15) because the
  external runner uses its own hand-written stepwise decode via
  model._get_prefix() + model.fwd(prefix) + direct CFG. It never
  calls the new public APIs. Per spec policy the runner is not
  modified, so those fixes cannot be verified end-to-end through
  this particular black-box test suite.

Targets directly hit:
  4.13 save_load_consistency  : FAIL -> PASS (outputs bit-identical)
  4.25 prefix_length_scaling  : FAIL -> PASS (mass_B/mass_A = 1.543 >= 1.10)

Targets held (no regression from v3.44-rewrite):
  4.24 context_descriptor_cluster_probe: PASS (0.9375 / 1.0)
  4.16 retrieval_generation_alignment_audit: PASS

Targets still FAIL (same as v3.44-rewrite, unaddressed by #1/#3):
  4.23 keyword_specific_tail_slot_probe: median_rank=1402, hit=0
  4.8 / 4.21 / 4.7  : decoder repetition triple (will be addressed by #2)
  4.11 / 4.19       : prefix-token-class mismatch (will be addressed by #5)

Surprising finding on 4.23:
  The diagnostic dump (diag_4_23_slot_direction.py) reveals that
  bridge._last_tail_slots read by 4.23 does NOT come from prefix_cond -
  it comes from the SECOND inject call inside _build_contrastive_uncond_prefix,
  which is called with rare_keyword_wte_residual=None.  This overwrites
  _last_tail_slots and _last_residual with the uncond contrastive prefix's
  values.  The probe has been reading the uncond tail since at least v3.42.
  This is a pre-existing diagnostic-buffer aliasing bug, not a change-#1
  regression.  It explains why v3.48 (median_rank=1089) and v3.45
  (median_rank=1402) both point at whitespace/punct - both are reading
  tail slots that were rebuilt without rare-keyword residual.
  Fix belongs in a separate PR (write residual to a second buffer in
  cond path, or snapshot bridge._last_tail_slots before uncond inject).

axis_coverage under v3.49 runner reporting:
  A compression   : ratio 8.97 (< 10)     FAIL
  B injection     : 164224 floats, O(1)   PASS
  C fidelity      : 7/11 (threshold 9)    FAIL
  D stability     : 2/3 (4.21 FAIL)       FAIL

elapsed: 1508 s on CPU, AMS_DETERMINISTIC=1, fresh init.

This audit validates:
  - #1 revert did not regress anything and recovered 4.25 (predicted by
    the plan's 'LN-bounded extra slot mass' magnitude calculus).
  - #3 refresh timing alignment recovered 4.13 (predicted by the plan's
    'rare_keyword_ids fresh-vs-load asymmetry' mechanism).

This audit does not validate:
  - any claim about 4.23 reachability; 4.23 has a pre-existing aliasing
    bug that the current plan's change #2 ([B] replacement) cannot fix
    because the replacement would still be overwritten by the uncond
    inject call.

… regressions)

4.23 FAIL -> PASS.  Primary metric numbers under the corrected buffer:
  tail_slots_source = bridge._last_cond_tail_slots   (new)
  mean_intersection_size_top20_paraphrase = 1.0      (threshold >= 1.0)
  median_rank_of_best_rare_paraphrase = 1.0          (threshold <= 100.0)
  hit_ratio_at_least_one_top20_paraphrase = 1.0      (threshold >= 0.5)
  n_paraphrase_queries_evaluated = 2

This matches the pre-audit diag_4_23_cond_buffer.py output:
  rank of ' control' = 1 on both paraphrases
  top-5 centered = [' control', ' Control', '控制', 'control', 'Control']
  top20 intersect rare_dom = {2524}

The result validates the causal claim made when the aliasing bug was
identified in the v3.45-revertB-refreshD audit: reverting [B] (cfg
tail_slot_residual_dominant=False) was a prerequisite for 4.23
reachability, but the uncond-inject buffer clobber was blocking the
measurement entirely.  Both together are required.

axis coverage v3.49 runner reporting:
  A compression: 8.97 / 10.0     FAIL
  B injection:   164224 per-step  PASS  (O(1) in N)
  C fidelity:    8/11 / 9         FAIL  (was 7/11, 4.23 added)
  D stability:   2/3               FAIL  (4.21 still FAIL)

Remaining FAILs, unchanged from the prior audit:
  4.7  semantic_memory_counterfactual_pairs  (repetition garbage)
  4.8  degeneration_quality                   (repetition, same root as 4.7)
  4.11 retrieval_topk_semantic_shift          (prefix to meta-starter mismatch)
  4.19 stepwise_label_mass_alignment_audit    (cascade of 4.11)
  4.21 decode_repetition_feedback_probe       (repetition, same root as 4.7/4.8)

These five are the cases that plan #2 (narrow E) and #5 (rare_keyword
floor) were designed to address.  They are independent of the 4.23
fix in this PR.
