Readiness: 🟢 READY
Variants: detailed (control) vs concise (candidate) · Last run: 2026-10-23
min_samples: 20 per variant · Evidence: mann_whitney on token_count_per_run; core returned no effect/evidence

H0: no change in PR merge rate or proposal quality. H1: concise prompt reduces token usage ≥25% without degrading proposal quality

Rationale     : mandatory guardrail run_success_rate is not backed by a supported metric observation
Report action : EXTEND

Outcome charts were not generated: per-run outcome data was not correlated with assignments in this run.

Core decision: EXTEND (guardrail_unsupported) — mandatory guardrail run_success_rate is not backed by a supported metric observation.

No tracking issue: is configured, so no comments or labels applied.

🔧 Self-Tuning Continuation Plan

Experiment actions

1. Keep prompt_style running; no promotion until guardrail observations exist.
2. Emit per-run token_count_per_run observations so Mann-Whitney evidence can be computed.
3. Assignment 58/42 is within balance tolerance; no action.

Eval actions

1. Add a proposal-quality eval for ci-coach.md.
2. Add an empty-output eval for ci-coach.md.
3. Add a PR-created-rate eval backing pr_created_rate.

Decision-pipeline gaps

• run_success_rate and empty_output_rate are unsupported native guardrail metrics (guardrail_unsupported).
• Other experiments/* branches exist but gh aw experiments list returns only cicoach.
• K1×K2 interaction diagnostics should become a core analysis signal.
