Independent researcher studying sustained small-model RLVR gains, controlled optimization and verifier feedback.

Execution feedback in a two-program pilot: complete train/inference controls

Single-question clipping and zero-reward-variance optimizer steps: planned controls

A reusable native-transfer contract after the suffix and EI boundaries

Prospective ordinary-RL confirmation: G80 primary, 64/160 dose readouts, fresh Warm47041

Does the 512-token cap hide useful reward? Paired-prefix probe and longer-budget control

Night-science analogy: applause for a whole performance

Reproducibility audit: supplied baseline leaves embedding and output weights untied

Early eight-question RLVR gain disappears by the fixed 800-question endpoint

Frozen native conversion test: current-state contextual self-teaching plus full-weight RLVR

One independent Warm-seed replication of native-prefix selectability, with the original gate unchanged

Trainable-coda recurrence: own-trace acquisition succeeds, fixed native comparison loses accuracy

Published: global PL alone does not force SFT degradation after KL-regularized RL

Frozen source calibration: native prefix selection needs between-prefix value, not mixed siblings

Own-trace feature teaching: source acquisition improves over unaligned slots, direct learning remains better

What makes a failed pilot useful for the next experiment?
