The periodic VAL eval ran on leetcode_train_medhard_holdout.jsonl (353, our
artifact): disjoint from train by id but in the train id/recency range (ids
3-3205, 88% medium), so dominated by classic problems Qwen3-4B memorized in
pretraining -> base solve 0.94, saturating solve and killing the hack metric's
gt-fail headroom. Disjoint-by-id controls for TRAIN leakage, not pretraining
MEMORIZATION; only the recency-held-out test set (ids >= 3243) reproduces the
paper rate.
Proof (job 176, base model, same eval_hack_solve): test_medhard solve=0.094,
matching paper fn9 (~12% test) -> eval pipeline is sound, holdout was the
contaminant. Fix: drop the holdout; periodic curve + final number both eval the
paper test set leetcode_test_medhard. Smoke green. Hint confirmed = paper's
simple_overwrite_tests (not the easier _detailed/_aware variants).
Also this session: removed stale teacher-pool TRAIN restriction; seeded shuffle
for eval load; LoRA-frozen-B adapter; rescore CLI Positional fix. Known follow-up
(journal e): train pool is still first-200-by-id (easy/memorized), same bug class.

git mv src/projected_grpo -> src/vgrout and find-replace the module name in
all imports (.py), `-m projected_grpo.*` invocations (justfile), and the
[project] name (pyproject; setuptools auto-discovers via where=["src"]).
Left RESEARCH_JOURNAL.md untouched: its commands/paths are dated lab notes
tied to past commits, so rewriting them would falsify provenance. Repo dir,
git remote, and absolute paths unchanged.
Verified: `import vgrout` and `python -m vgrout.train --help` load the full
graph; verify_rewards.py + verify_gate_anchor.py (both import vgrout) pass.
Full `just smoke` is blocked upstream by missing gitignored data artifacts
(out/pools/{substrate,teacher_pool}, out/vhack/*smoke*), unrelated to the rename.
