- 00:15 prepared the point-4 lexical/synonym payload smoke to test a non-punctuation supplied-rule channel after the 8-bit punctuation probe passed; fixed a mock collision where a synonym slot overlapped the filler phrase public answer
- 01:14 submitted 20260828-011242-lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-78860f1 (job 1491194 on jean-zay, commit 78860f1)
- 01:14 submitted lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke as Jean Zay job 1491194 from commit 78860f1 to test whether supplied lexical/synonym substitution works as the point-4 non-punctuation channel before considering point 5
- 01:15 installed cron 5550f697-9f80-4e98-bba4-90106decfad3 to check lexical payload run 20260828-011242-lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-78860f1 in three hours and, if point 4 passes, search externally verified task families for point 5
- 04:14 fetched 20260828-011242-lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-78860f1
- 04:14 reported 20260828-011242-lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-78860f1 in notes/experiments/lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke.md
- 04:15 fetched and reported 20260828-011242-lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-78860f1; direct shared lexical recovery is clean at the shorter payload length, controls degrade recovery, and point 5 planning can start while longer lexical payload capacity remains unproven
- 04:15 searched current LLM benchmark task families for point 5; LiveBench/IFEval-style verifiable natural-language outputs look more suitable than code-patch tasks for a first externally scored covert-channel substrate
- 09:40 searched current LiveBench-/IFEval-style benchmarks for point 5 and identified IFBench as the best first externally scored substrate, with LiveBench as the harness/source and IFEval as the baseline
- 09:50 implemented the IFBench lexical payload smoke for point 5, using IFBench checkers for visible-task success and the existing lexical shared-rule channel with a synonym-normalized control
- 10:31 submitted 20260828-102956-ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-7884c49 (job 1502623 on jean-zay, commit 7884c49)
- 10:31 submitted ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke as Jean Zay job 1502623 from commit 7884c49 to test the point-5 IFBench visible-task lexical channel
- 11:03 fetched 20260828-102956-ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-7884c49
- 11:03 reported 20260828-102956-ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-7884c49 in notes/experiments/ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke.md
- 11:06 interpreted IFBench lexical run 20260828-102956-ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-7884c49 as a diagnostic failure caused by sender reasoning/truncation and an NLTK-dependent verifier, then patched the rerun to use XML-only sender generation and lightweight IFBench verifiers
- 13:20 submitted 20260828-131930-ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke-7b7fdf0 (job 1510063 on jean-zay, commit 7b7fdf0)
- 13:20 submitted fixed ifbench_lexical_payload_gpt_oss_20b_smoke rerun as Jean Zay job 1510063 from commit 7b7fdf0 after forcing sender XML-only generation and filtering to lightweight IFBench verifiers
