Product-lead doc: current state + next steps, and a correction to two B7 tallies - #951
Conversation
…d 16/16
Found while re-counting the committed JSON to write the product-lead update.
Both denominators in D-WXS-8's bar-B7 report were wrong.
written actual
B7 control (per-var must LOSE) 16/16 19/19
B7 primary (rho >= 0.9996) 10/16 (63%) 9/19 (47%)
per season (primary) -- winter 2/9, spring 4/5, summer 3/5
There are 19 cross-unit pairs, not 16 (winter 9 + spring 5 + summer 5); the
same-unit pairs (KxK, m/s x m/s) are informational and correctly excluded
from the bar, and I dropped them from the denominator inconsistently.
The direction matters, not just the arithmetic. 10/16 reads as "mostly
passing, six close misses". 9/19 reads as "the strict bar fails on a MAJORITY
of cross-unit pairs". Both describe the same measurements -- every per-pair
rho was carried correctly -- but only the second is what the data says. The
KILL-gated control is unaffected and in fact better at 19/19, so NO conclusion
reverses; what changes is that the primary bar's shortfall was under-reported.
The failures also concentrate in winter (2/9), the only season carrying
mean_sea_level_pressure -- visible in the corrected per-season split, invisible
in the aggregate I first wrote.
The diagnosis is narrower than "check your figures". Every number the program
COMPUTED AND PRINTED -- 56 verdicts, 42 pass / 14 fail, every individual rho --
was carried into the writeup correctly. The only two wrong numbers are the ones
I produced by counting rows in terminal output by eye. The pipeline was sound;
the tally was not.
A figure you tallied yourself is a DERIVED figure, and a derived figure needs
the artifact exactly as much as a measured one does. "The audit must terminate
at an artifact" is usually applied to CITING a number. This is its narrower and
easier-to-miss form: PRODUCING a number by counting, summing or eyeballing a
listing is itself an unverified derivation, even when every input to it is
verified.
Mechanical fix now in use: any count, rate or ratio that appears in a writeup
is computed from the committed artifact in the same command that prints it --
never transcribed from a previous run's stdout, never tallied by reading a list.
Reach: the error went to main via PR #950 in four places -- the plan's W3 RUN
section, the STATUS_BOARD D-WXS-8 row, the EPIPHANIES entry, and the PR body.
The first two are corrected in place (not append-only ledgers). EPIPHANIES gets
a PREPENDED correction entry per the storno rule, leaving the wrong entry
standing beneath it. The merged PR body cannot be corrected -- #950's body
carries the superseded figures and the new entry is authoritative.
Board: EPIPHANIES prepend E-A-FIGURE-YOU-TALLIED-YOURSELF-IS-A-DERIVED-FIGURE-1
(suffix-verified); plan W3 RUN carries the same correction note inline.
Doc-only. No measurement re-run, no bar changed, no code touched.

`probes/weather-p1/SUBSTRATE_FORMULA_MATRIX.md` is the product-lead surface for the weather arc (referenced from LATEST_STATE, STATUS_BOARD and PR_ARC_INVENTORY). It was last refreshed before the substrate crate and the D-WXS-7/8 gate existed. This brings it current and adds what it never had: an ordered next-steps section. What changed - §0 UPDATE 2026-08-13 — the four things that moved since the last refresh, with a rating-movement table so a reader sees which cells changed and why. - §1b — five new encoding rows. E15 the grid-scale shared floor (A [G], 12/12 at the pre-registered bar, rho256 0.9999 on all three seasons); E16 shared-vs-per-variable, which splits A/C rather than winning outright; E17 the 38-45 empty buckets of 256 (D, and its cost is not yet measured); E18 the L4 lane; E19 quantize-on-non-finite as a named hazard. - §1c — three new geometry rows. G16 the HEEL/HIP key (A, tile-row-major locality measured); G17 Morton with no unambiguous win at box scale; G18 the CONTROL-BAD arm that proves the locality metric can lose. - §4 — four apparatus lessons (10-13), each already carrying its own EPIPHANIES entry: derived figures, vacuous disable probes, total-function corruption being worse in an instrument than in a store, and a blocker being an artifact-checkable claim like any other. - §5 — the cross-swap and CAL-FISHERZ gaps close; the geometry gap is restated as structurally unreachable (needs 2,550,409 points, the global 0.25 grid has 1,038,240) rather than merely unfunded. - §7 NEXT STEPS — three tiers. Tier 1 is a single item: the classid mint, operator-gated, OGAR-side, blocking the bake and everything downstream. Tier 2 is runnable today with no mint. Tier 3 waits, and says why. Plus an explicit "not next" list so the recorded-but-unproven priors (Morton, the per-pair rho threshold) do not get acted on. Every figure in the new sections was recomputed from the committed JSONs in the same command that printed it, per lesson 10 — no tallies by eye. Board: STATUS_BOARD D-MTX-5 moves Queued -> DONE (its trigger, the C2-C6 cross-swap runs, is satisfied); D-MTX-6 added for the next-steps section.

In the current tree, the classid mint is not the only step separating this work from a running bake: crates/weather-poc/src/lib.rs explicitly says W1 is still under construction and that the crate never writes a version, while a repo-wide search for D-WXS-4 finds no bake implementation and the status board still calls it queued. If the operator supplies the classids, substantial row-assembly and persistence work remains, so this product-decision summary materially understates the remaining engineering and should not present the mint as the sole separator.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Correct, and material — fixed in 5e3773a0.
Checked before acting: D-WXS-4 has no implementation anywhere in the tree (no row assembler, no Lance writer), and weather-poc/src/lib.rs says so in its own header. The sentence you flagged would have put a product decision on a false premise.
Three changes: Tier 1 carries a correction note and a new N1b — write the bake, itemising what exists (key/floor/manifest/lane, 35/35) against what does not (row assembler, the 1 038 240-row sweep, the version writer); the "the bake is coded to refuse to write" bullet is downgraded to a design obligation, since there is no writer to carry a guard; and the one-line read now names the bake as unwritten and adds the two estimates a product decision needs and this document does not have (N1b's duration, and a full-archive bake at 92 044 timesteps).
Worth noting the split your comment implies and I've written in: row assembly is testable today — encode_key takes the classid as a parameter — so only the committed dataset is mint-gated. N1b can start now; it must not land a dataset until N1 resolves.
Same defect class as this document's own apparatus lesson 13 (an unverified claim about what stands between here and a result), which is the uncomfortable part.

This proposed correlation cannot settle whether empty buckets degrade cross-unit fidelity: fidelity_probe_prep.py records the empty-bucket count only for v0, the first variable in each season (currently temperature), whereas the pass rate aggregates several cross-unit pairs over season-specific variable sets. Even with more seasons, a correlation between one variable's occupancy and a changing mixture of pair verdicts is confounded by variable composition and season; the probe needs per-variable or per-pair occupancy measurements matched to each rho result before drawing the stated conclusion.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Right, and verified at the source — fixed in 5e3773a0.
fidelity_probe_prep.py:177 is v0 = varlist[0], and shared_empty_buckets is recorded for that one variable per season (temperature in all three), while the pass rate aggregates 19 comparisons over 14 distinct variable pairs with season-specific variable sets. So the proposed correlation is confounded by variable composition and season together.
The sharpest part of your comment is the one I'd have missed: more seasons does not fix it. That adds n to a confounded design — which is precisely the mistake the regime ladder made earlier in this same arc (§0 item 2: the ladder measured range, not turbulence, and more regimes would only have measured range more precisely). N4 had it riding on N3's extra seasons, which would have reproduced the error one section after documenting it.
N4 now states that the obvious form does not settle the question, names the prep-script change that must land first (per-variable, ideally per-pair occupancy recorded alongside each ρ and matched to the pair that produced it), and says it must land before any correlation is read. E17 stays D with its cost unmeasured, which is what its row already said.

… test counts Three findings from the PR #951 reviews, all checked against the tree before acting. All three were right. codex P2 (1) -- the product read understated the engineering. It said the classid mint was the ONLY thing separating this from a running bake. Checked: `D-WXS-4` has no implementation at all -- no row assembler, no Lance writer, and `weather-poc/src/lib.rs` says so in its own header. The mint is the only EXTERNAL blocker; it is not the only remaining work, and a product decision resting on the shorter sentence would have been made on a false premise. Fixed in three places: Tier 1 now carries a correction note and a new N1b (write the bake) with what exists vs what does not; the "the bake is coded to refuse to write" bullet is corrected to a design obligation, since there is no writer to carry a guard; the one-line read now names the bake as unwritten and adds the two estimates a product decision needs and this document does not have. Same defect class as apparatus lesson 13 -- an unverified claim about what stands between here and a result. codex P2 (2) -- N4's proposed measurement cannot settle its own question. `fidelity_probe_prep.py:177` sets `v0 = varlist[0]` and records `shared_empty_buckets` for that one variable only, while the pass rate aggregates several cross-unit comparisons over season-specific variable sets. Correlating the two is confounded by variable composition and season together, and more seasons only adds n to a confounded design -- the exact mistake the regime ladder made. N4 now says the obvious form does NOT settle it and names the prep-script change that must land first. E17 stays D with its cost unmeasured. CodeRabbit minor -- three different crate-test counts across two files. Real count recomputed: 35, not the row's 34 or the board's 33. All three were true when written (33 at D-WXS-3b's landing, 34 after the first non-finite guard, 35 after the second). The board rows are append-only records of their own moment, so the E18 row is now the one that tracks HEAD and says so. Also, from the same review's terminology note: "19 cross-unit pairs" was loose. Recounted from the verdicts array -- 19 is (season x variable-pair) comparisons over 14 DISTINCT variable pairs. Corrected at all five sites. One more caught while verifying rather than by a reviewer: N1b cited "§0's corrected budget", which is in the plan, not in this document's §0. Now cites `weather-soa-bake-v1.md` §0.4 and the contract assertion it rests on, with the arithmetic inline (480 - 188 = 292 B free = 18 facets = 216 payload bytes).
