Design
This smoke tests the post-hoc private self-assessment layer for the binary
punctuation run rows. It is grounded in
Starting point
as diagnostic telemetry around the supplied-rule channel, not as a new channel
condition.
For this cleanup run, the key question is whether task-only prompts and metrics
avoid pretending that a hidden target or supplied covert rule existed. Task-only
sender private XML should discuss visible-task quality, naturalness, monitor
risk, and accidental surface signals. Task-only receiver private XML should
mark the decode as a forced guess with no rule available.

Interpretation
Run
20260803-141030-self_assessment_binary_punctuation_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-7faf2a7
supports the task-only cleanup. The task-only private XML parses cleanly, marks
receiver correctness as uncertain, and reports accidental covert-signal
telemetry rather than stale decodability accuracy.
The remaining failure mode is not task-only behavior. It is shared-rule
receiver-private XML truncation when the model starts elaborating escaped XML
inside a reason field. Before the full post-hoc calibration run, the receiver
private prompt should be shortened further and should forbid quoting XML tag
names inside free-text fields.
