As of 2026-06-02 the method (route2 gradient routing vs reward hacking) works at
n=1 and the project is in "fill out ablations + seeds for a workshop paper/blog"
mode. The canonical, durable goal tracker is docs/spec/20260602_writeup_spec.md
(force-added to git despite /docs/ being gitignored). It lists artifacts A1-A7:

- A1+A2 keynote fig + table: route2 vs vanilla n=3 deploy hack/solve (task #173). Blocked on vanilla band jobs 74+79.
- A3 ablation table: vanilla / erase / route2-full / frozen-vs-refresh / random-V(81) / placebo(80) / post-hoc tt-erase(83) (task #183).
- A4 long-run fig: 200-step route2(77) vs vanilla(82) (task #184).
- A5 generalisation (the no-cheat payload C2): held-out-mode suppression, NOT YET QUEUED, highest-value gap (task #185).
- A6 appendix traces (4 loophole classes): done, blog appendix.
- A7 appendix ablation context: results.md Q-rows already exist.

Backup = out/runs (RL results, not regenerable) + out/pools + out/pairsets +
out/vhack + the curated docs/. Skip out/baked (23G) and out/vhack_grads (1.8G):
deterministic caches that rebuild. See [[project-out-dir-backup]] if written.
