narration

The trajectory-balanced variant scored exactly 56.11% (202/360), identical to both prior mild front-loaded runs. Since it adds complexity without evidence of gain, I’m reverting that extra reduction and retaining the simpler method with three consistent full-eval outcomes.

narration

The simpler retained code is restored. With the remaining budget, I’m checking whether the repository already exposes a principled auxiliary objective that can complement early-credit OPSD; I’ll only run another full candidate if it stays within the same 100-step/data constraints and has a credible mechanism.

narration

One evidence-backed optimization remains worthwhile: the linear-decay run reduced the average update size and lost 1.39 points, while constant 5e-6 was stable. I’m testing a modest 7.5e-6 constant rate with the validated objective; the fallback remains fully reproducible if it does not clear 56.11 convincingly.
