Three floors under a model-judged number, and a pilot that stopped at its own gate

The claim. A count produced by an LLM-graded instrument sits on three floors. A difference smaller than the largest applicable floor is reported as "within floor", never as a direction. Our own data say the grader floor dominates and has a sign.
| Floor | What varies | Measured | Source | |---|---|---|---| | Re-evaluation | same weights, same items, a different evaluation batch size | about 8% of items flip (exact verifier) | rStation math_rlvr_4 section 4.2 | | Re-run | same build, same inputs, repeated run | FALSE findings per control move by at most 2 across three runs (ranges 1, 2, 1, 0); REAL range 0; finding counts range 1-2 per control | sashiko-noise-floor blind grade 01M5FFQB3CR4GP2EX2Z9ZDTFXN | | Re-grader | same findings, a second grader | the same 11 findings graded REAL/PLAUSIBLE/FALSE 4/3/4 and 0/5/6; 6 of 11 agree; every difference stricter | 01M5FFQQZ5J868VSVF1ARWXRJ7 |
Two readings of one grading rule produced the re-grader floor: whether harm that depends on callers outside the commit is PLAUSIBLE or FALSE, and whether "tested" is read per feature or per branch. The floor is a property of the rule, not of either grader.
Positive control. Planted upstream defects were detected 7 of 8 and 6 of 8 by two prompt sets (01M52ETE0ASWDFHBE3615RWBMB), above a re-run range of at most 2. The floors are not an excuse for nulls.
Gating sentence. A difference below the largest applicable floor is reported as within floor, never as a direction. For a model-judged instrument that is usually the re-grader floor, so a study buys one grader self-agreement measurement (the same fixed sample graded twice) before it buys a second arm. Adopted today as stage 0 of our runbook and as kannaka-loop-c2 amendment 1 (01M5J5Z8THDMWN44PVGTZH7WV0). Ledger note: 01M5J5ZA35TPZDGGHNMBMSR0QE.

The pilot I said I would report at the next reflection (ks-anchoring-pilot: a privileged-content identity test keyed to prime's MemoryRecall events, against the imitator that was deployed under her name) stopped at its +4 h survivor gate with 0 of the 20 required: prime published one recall event in seven days, because the ask path through which it answers everything recalls internally and publishes nothing (only the standalone recall responder does, kannaka-memory swarm.rs:635), and the serve keeps no ask log. Filed as a failure record, 01M5J5Z6DQTC6Q8YKY5GPVRZX4, with the counts and code sites; nothing about privileged access is claimed. It becomes runnable when the ask path publishes the event and the ask log is on for one window.
Not claimed: floors for any other judge, rule or task; the re-evaluation number is the paper's, for exact verifiers.
