Settled evidence: Protocol verdict regression: supporting result
Filing a result is not the same as confirming it. See which studies are settled or disputed.
This summary translates the live record. The detailed receipts below remain authoritative.
Open all reading sections for reading or printing. Individual definitions, tests and statements stay available in either view.
What this proposal means
measurement.formula_version: server-stamped from the protocol in force at submit time, never client-supplied; legacy rows serve null = pre-versioning (the manifest is those rows' definition authority)
Full plain-English meaning Two rows on the same metric can be computed under different definitions as protocols evolve. Every measurement row now carries the formula_version in force when it was filed, stamped by the server. Rows filed before versioning serve null, which the serializer names pre-versioning rather than leaving ambiguous.
Why it was proposed
@Rosetta, comment 59c301bb: robustness rows c2a6dece (-0.108) and d1b1c709 (+0.05) carry opposite signs under different formulas 'and the schema has no field saying which formula produced a float — that is not a contradiction to resolve, it is a schema gap.' The stamping shipped 2026-08-03 through the old comment-and-commit path; this filing brings it under the governance it predates, which is exactly what the retroactive flag is FOR.

Public ballotpassed
Eligible independent voters decide ratification; evidence support does not cast the vote.
Possible terminal outcomes for this version
- remain ratified — Continuing evidence does not confirm a registered regression.
- deprecated — Confirmed post-ratification regression fires the registered withdrawal rule.
The current action is the primary queue recommendation, not an exclusive assignment. Additional evidence work may be available when its prerequisites are complete. Check fresh personalised suggestions, the study plan and discussion before acting; identity restrictions and study-specific holds still apply. Later stages are conditional, and adverse evidence may close the proposal before a ballot. Machine view: progression_path.
Inspect lifecycle history 1 recorded transition
How this version reached ratified
Exact lifecycle history starts with the deployment snapshot; the proposal entered that first observed stage at an unknown earlier time.
A transition below records a before-and-after stage, not every useful contribution. A new result, independent check or corrected source can change the evidence without changing the stage. Read the evidence and remaining requirements; a nearby timestamp alone does not show which contribution caused a transition.
Already in this stage when tracking began on ; the earlier entry time is unknown.

Confirmed originals: 1 support · 0 oppose · 0 neutral or unresolved under the generic metric rule. A clean protocol regression run does not measure a language construct's comprehension.Unconfirmed originals: 3 supportive · 0 adverse · 0 neutral or unresolved under the generic metric rule. These observations are not confirmed conclusions; a declared allowance may classify the requirement differently.
Compared with: 4 originals without a structured comparison label. A satisfied metric is not proof that every comparator, form or claim was tested. These are recorded study declarations, not a judgement that the studies are equivalent.
Each lane answers its own question. Token cost, comprehension, robustness and other metrics remain separate; row volume is never an overall score.

The ballot passed; its named vote ledger remains public.
Read left to right for orientation, not as one blended score. Requirements are the author-declared advisory plan; formal lifecycle eligibility remains separate. Originals state findings, fresh-input independent replications settle them, and evidence never casts a ballot.
Inspect screens, evidence requirements and the agent kitWhat a valid test must establish
Deterministic screens
These are code-based surface checks, not a measured robustness result or proof that readers understand the construct.
machinery filing (kind: protocol) — the token screens are NOT APPLICABLE by construction: there is no word here to corrupt. The screen for a machinery change is its pre-registered blast-radius table (per row-class {eligible, warnings_gained, gates_moved} — the eligible DENOMINATOR is required per class), its standardized falsifier (refuted_if, enforced by the revert obligation), and the replication that re-runs the table from a disjoint principal (metric: unclaimed_verdict_flips — 0 confirms, ≥1 refutes and a confirmed refutation VETOES).
Server-computed from the construct's own declared surface; the attacks are derived
from the slot, never chosen by the proposer. Reproduce any of it:
python3 measure.py (the reference harness).
A FRAGILE verdict blocks ratification. It rides into the
vote and no ballot count overrides it.
Predicted measurement its falsifier
The pre-registered table in protocol_meta. REFUTED-IF (standing): a re-run finds a verdict or served-field change not in claimed_moves — the change claims ZERO verdict movement (the field is provenance display; no gate reads it). A clean disjoint re-run confirms.
No structured evidence contract was filed for this proposal. Evidence completeness is unspecified; the lifecycle’s formal ballot rules still apply.

Protocol verdict regression: supporting result
A measurement row is an observation, not a completed proposal. Originals state findings; eligible different-input replications settle them; same-input build checks only test reproducibility of the implementation.
