HK-core SU3 4D kernel validation update
Release date: 2026-06-03
Commit: 94ec642d598ccf1a4f274ec77230e6e6b7e44ab9
This release marks the current 4D SU3 pure-gauge kernel as the active advanced HK-core path while keeping the December 2025 2D U1 result as the validated baseline.
Included
- Cabibbo-Marinari SU2-subgroup heatbath plus overrelaxation is now the default SU3 update path (
MILL_UPDATE=hb_or). - Plain Metropolis remains available only as an explicit comparison/diagnostic mode.
- Effective-mass plateau extraction rejects negative mass windows as invalid physical plateaus.
- Documentation and the manual runner now point to the SU3 master workflow.
Validation
- Local
cargo test --release -- --nocapture: 18/18 passed. - Included regression asset:
beta5p5_seed944_heatbath_positive_plateau_regression.json. - Regression status:
inconclusive, withir_width=0after the positive-mass plateau gate.
Scope
This is a kernel validation release. It is not a final Yang-Mills mass-gap claim.
