Prospective campaign and negative runtime outcome

Preserved research record. This public derivative removes local-only path links; scientific wording and original status claims remain historical. Internal AI reviews are not external peer review. Original SHA-256: c5c45df63195777ff21f0f5541f8d08b67093018e79dd5c3e89e4f9553dba466.

Prospective live-vtree integration campaign — final record

The new, separately frozen synthetic campaign completed on Linux. Mechanism GO passed; algorithmic GO failed. Live PySDD moves preserved every matched fresh-search decision and made the search stage cheaper, but they did not make the selected complete exact factorization method faster than the selected baseline on the held-out split. The Phase 5B negative result remains unchanged.

Provenance and execution

The registered CAMPAIGN_PROTOCOL.md and 36-record candidate_manifest.json were frozen before any validation row. The freeze receipt SHA-256 is e7b1250c3a512fa7b2d1bbf76cf46a4ff8b0e2654c7231035fb29411f252c587. The local Linux Docker run used python:3.11-slim image digest sha256:e41613d42d4891e4930f79523f93f81bbc7632584ec65e36ab055f41a800b41e, Python 3.11.16, pinned packages including PySDD 1.0.6, 4 GiB container memory, 2 CPUs, a 2 GiB worker RLIMIT_AS and a 20-second watchdog. The freeze hard-cap negative control and capped PySDD exactness smoke passed. Earlier Phase 5B and integration directories were mounted read-only.

Validation completed all 252 planned rows. The registered selection rule locked B2 as baseline and L1 as challenger; the validation-results SHA-256 is 35ff39d90574722392b31995ad5fdc77bc145e8cdcb5a2e345bc4d0fb56ba168. Held-out then completed all 504 planned rows, with SHA-256 f667606603bd2f6383e73ccd61c31c8ebe77f0d5a8130bdfc6706c207b23b21e. All 756 rows had status ok, matched their frozen job identities and resource metadata, and passed the runner's independent semantic and carrier partition checks. Cumulative worker process-wall time was 270.31 seconds, well below the registered 90-minute ceiling; no row was censored. The maximum reported worker peak RSS was 31.8 MB.

Registered decision

Gate Registered measure Result
Complete-time primary L1 / B2 held-out paired geometric ratio 1.03798
Complete-time uncertainty One-sided 95% bootstrap upper ratio 1.14154
Fresh/live M1 parity F1/L1 matched pairs and mismatches 72/72; 0
Fresh/live M2 parity F2/L2 matched pairs and mismatches 72/72; 0
M1 search mechanism L1 / F1 geometric ratio; upper 95% 0.18050; 0.20167
M2 search mechanism L2 / F2 geometric ratio; upper 95% 0.18087; 0.20094

The complete-time ratio fails the required <=0.90 improvement and its upper bound fails the <1 condition. Both matched search mechanisms satisfy their registered criteria with complete pairing and no decision mismatches. The saved campaign_analysis.json accordingly records mechanism_go: true and algorithmic_go: false; there were no method failures.

Exposure diagnostic and scope

As a post-campaign diagnostic on saved rows, B3's direct partition missed the exact semantic partition on 12 of 24 held-out instances. L1 missed on 8 of 24. L1 reached the exact direct partition in four B3-miss cases, all four sizes of the equivalence-ladder-bridge family. This exposure result was not used to select methods or change the registered objective. It establishes some genuine factor recovery in the new synthetic inputs, while the primary complete-time result remains negative. These small, constructed CNFs do not support a public-corpus or large-scale performance claim.

The source hashes, complete rows, frozen selection and analysis were checked again after the run. The disposable container exited and was removed. No Runpod resource was used.
