-## 2026-06-05 (h) — AFK check: no-cheat E-by-mode table re-confirmed on job 95; directionality framing corrected
-
-AFK hourly check. GPU busy (job 87 none-toff40 at step ~147/200, reward +3.2-3.5,
-lp_s -0.4 to -0.57, deploy@140 hack=0.516/solve=0.422 -- healthy on-policy
-emergence, no collapse). No failures. Directionality batch (jobs 114-123)
-staged interleaved (one of each family per priority tier).
-
-Two things verified this check:
-
-1. Load-bearing no-cheat E-by-mode table, re-tabulated fresh from job 95 rollouts
-   (out/runs/20260603T202151_fast_vanilla_seed41_harvest_s41/rollouts.jsonl):

-   | run_tests     | 287 |       149 |  189 |  165 |    9 |      21 |

-   KNOWN = run_tests (E fires 66%). HELD-OUT = file_marker/sentinel (E==0 exactly),
-   stdout_marker (E=2/280=0.7%, the double-hack leak). v_hack + pairset built only
-   from run_tests (heldout_known_runtests.json, 5 pairs; v_hack_a5_runtests.safetensors).
-   file_marker is exploited 41% yet invisible to E -- the weak-detector regime is
-   real. The 0.7% stdout leak is zeroed by --gate-anchor-teacher-only (jobs 111-113).
-
-2. Retracted the "null_city placebo is CONTAMINATED (20% modules align)" framing
-   I had written as fact (train.py + make_pairsets.py comments + Haar job labels).
-   Haar's ~0 cos is concentration of measure (out-of-subspace, std~1/sqrt(d)), not a
-   "cleaner placebo"; semantic placebos are IN-subspace and share generic structure
-   so a nonzero cos is the expected floor, and null_city's high-cos modules are
-   plausibly low-rank-module artifacts. Cosine is correlational; the ablation is the
-   causal test. Haar now tests "must v_grad be in-subspace at all?"; the semantic
-   fleet tests "must it point at the hack specifically?".
-
 ## 2026-06-05 (g) — placebo non-directionality is MEASURED (hkgap), not just inferred; + A5 leak is double-hacks not detector error
 
 Two clarifications prompted by review questions today; neither changes a number, both make a load-bearing claim auditable.
