From 895aedd9839201c2cb112941d57ad27f3ff2dd46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wassname <1103714+wassname@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 11:38:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] paper: page-1 headline fig, dir arrows, algorithm pseudocode, polish Addresses the formatting review: - Figure 1 (keynote) moved to page 1 (declared before body, inline float) - placeholder Introduction prose + hypothesis block (from README), \TODO rewrite - direction arrows on every metric column (hack down-arrow, solve up-arrow); best cells bold - pseudocode -> algorithm/algpseudocode (math, not monospace ASCII); real Python and the chat prompt stay lstlisting - math/underscore removed from headings; loophole-mode names in code font - ablation Source column moved into a comment (internal, not shown) - long-run fig caption made explicitly the 200-step companion to the headline - every float now has a text reference (placeholder where prose is TODO) - dropped the 'honest (clean)' tic; added Q comment on the PackNet/LoRA bullet (is it load-bearing or reviewer-driven?); TODO for a per-pairset example appendix Builds clean: 11 pages, no unresolved refs/cites.
