• 03:01 reported 20260730-215252-binary_punctuation_gpt_oss_20b_seed_2718-c5d3cb9 in notes/experiments/binary_punctuation_gpt_oss_20b_seed_2718.md
• 03:03 fetched, reported, and interpreted binary_punctuation seed repeats 3141 and 2718; both support seed stability of the supplied punctuation channel, with residual shared-rule errors still attributable to sender punctuation slips rather than receiver misdecodes
• 07:54 merged the binary_punctuation seed-repeat XP reports into the main experiment page because they test the same supplied punctuation-channel protocol and were too similar as separate website pages
• 08:01 searched current literature and code for adversarial attacks on LLM steganographic communication; identified prompt-aware normalization/context-aware paraphrasing as the right next attack condition for the binary punctuation benchmark, with SIRA and adversarial paraphrasing as adjacent stronger rewrite baselines
• 08:08 adopted the term open-source upper attack for the prompt-and-code-aware sanitizer condition, to distinguish it from a true white-box model-internals attack and align it with the open-source game-theory framing
• 08:15 implemented deterministic attacker mediator conditions for binary_punctuation: punctuation_normalized and open_source_upper_attack, with configurable condition subsets, tests, and a 30-minute Jean Zay gpt-oss smoke config
• 08:46 extended binary_punctuation attacker mediators to all four planned conditions: punctuation_normalized, standard_paraphrase, context_aware_paraphrase, and open_source_upper_attack; local unit tests and mock attacker run passed
• 09:10 submitted 20260731-090946-binary_punctuation_attackers_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-a21db6f (job 465844 on jean-zay, commit a21db6f)

• 09:47 interpreted attacker smoke 20260731-090946 and prepared the one-seed full attacker config; standard paraphrase preserved punctuation in the smoke, while context-aware and open-source upper mediators removed the signal
• 10:04 increased the full attacker mediator run walltime to 10 hours and confirmed raw sampling stores examples per condition plus complete per-condition raw outputs
• 10:12 submitted 20260731-101141-binary_punctuation_attackers_gpt_oss_20b-05851b0 (job 467378 on jean-zay, commit 05851b0)
• 10:12 submitted full binary_punctuation_attackers_gpt_oss_20b run 20260731-101141-binary_punctuation_attackers_gpt_oss_20b-05851b0 on Jean Zay as job 467378 with a 10 hour H100 walltime cap
• 15:15 fetched 20260731-101141-binary_punctuation_attackers_gpt_oss_20b-05851b0
• 15:15 reported 20260731-101141-binary_punctuation_attackers_gpt_oss_20b-05851b0 in notes/experiments/binary_punctuation_attackers_gpt_oss_20b.md
• 15:15 fetched, reported, and interpreted full attacker mediator run 20260731-101141; punctuation-preserving paraphrase left the supplied punctuation channel strong, while normalization/context-aware/open-source attacks reduced decoding to chance or near chance
• 15:16 updated PROJECT.md after the full attacker report so the project state mentions punctuation-preserving versus prompt-aware mediator behavior
• 17:21 prepared a blind monitor detectability smoke for binary punctuation outputs; it reuses public dispatch samples from the first gpt-oss run and withholds hidden bits, sender condition prompts, and covert rules from the monitor
• 17:31 submitted 20260731-173007-binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-e3d2e4d (job 480897 on jean-zay, commit e3d2e4d)
• 17:31 submitted binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b_smoke run 20260731-173007-binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-e3d2e4d on Jean Zay as job 480897 to classify existing public sample dispatches with a blind gpt-oss monitor
• 17:32 fetched 20260731-173007-binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-e3d2e4d
• 17:34 fetched failed monitor smoke 20260731-173007; the job failed before metrics because the cluster source tree did not include the local runs raw_samples path, so the monitor inputs are being moved into a committed public-only JSONL artifact
• 17:38 submitted 20260731-173754-binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b-34fa349 (job 481183 on jean-zay, commit 34fa349)
• 17:38 submitted full binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b run 20260731-173754-binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b-34fa349 on Jean Zay as job 481183 to classify the 512 public-only shared-rule and task-only dispatches with a blind monitor
• 18:30 fetched 20260731-173754-binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b-34fa349
• 18:30 reported 20260731-173754-binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b-34fa349 in notes/experiments/binary_punctuation_monitor_gpt_oss_20b.md
• 18:30 fetched, reported, and interpreted monitor detectability run 20260731-173754; the blind monitor did not flag either shared-rule or task-only dispatches, so this is a failed generic-monitor detection pass rather than strong undetectability evidence
• 19:13 implemented a local public-cover expert for monitor-strength experiments; it trains on public-only task-only cover features and evaluates held-out task-only versus shared-rule dispatches without hidden bits or rule access
• 19:31 added batch-comparative and few-shot calibrated LLM monitor runners and configs so the monitor ladder now includes weak blind, batch/few-shot calibrated, and public-cover expert conditions
• 19:36 prepared Jean Zay wrapper for the public-cover expert so batch-comparative, few-shot calibrated, and public-cover expert monitor variants can be submitted as parallel Jean Zay runs
• 19:44 submitted 20260731-194346-comparative_monitor_batch_gpt_oss_20b-529c3f4 (job 487494 on jean-zay, commit 529c3f4)

• 20:36 fetched, reported, and interpreted the three stronger monitor-ladder runs; batch-comparative prompting stayed weak, while few-shot LLM calibration and the public-cover expert exposed the supplied punctuation channel without rule access
• 23:33 implemented post-hoc self-assessment telemetry for binary punctuation rows with sender_private and receiver_private XML; sender private predicts decodability, visible-task success, naturalness, and monitor risk with reasons, while receiver private explains evidence and expected correctness without duplicating decoded bit or confidence
• 23:35 updated PROJECT next step after implementing self-assessment telemetry; the remaining decision is whether to submit the Jean Zay post-hoc calibration run before moving to new channel variants
• 23:44 prepared a Jean Zay self_assessment smoke that samples four shared-rule and four task-only rows so the run checks parseable sender_private and receiver_private XML before the full post-hoc calibration pass
• 23:45 attempted to submit self_assessment_binary_punctuation_gpt_oss_20b_smoke at commit 452a6ac, but xp refused before Slurm because the project hit the 20-runs-in-7-days budget guard; no Jean Zay job started
• 23:52 raised max_runs_per_week from 20 to 40 at the user’s request so the self_assessment Jean Zay smoke can be submitted despite the active seven-day run count
• 23:53 submitted 20260731-235256-self_assessment_binary_punctuation_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-6a77990 (job 496396 on jean-zay, commit 6a77990)
