C3 Stage 2 Mini Retry v3 — Per-Run Manifest (markdown twin)

Manifest SHA-256: 628e44734be8edcd1f900eb4d782d11d8c13a7aaf3c1763e360502d6aca80191 Manifest SHA-256 (short): 628e44734be8 Machine-readable twin: decisions/2026-04-23-stage2-mini-manifest-v3.yaml Parent bench-spec lock: decisions/2026-04-22-bench-spec-locked.md (A3 LOCK v1) Supersedes v1: decisions/2026-04-23-stage2-mini-manifest.md (aborted 2026-04-23T01:33Z) Datum: 2026-04-23 Sprint: 12 · Task 2 · C3 Stage 2 Mini Retry v3 Authority: PM (Marko Marković), 2026-04-23 v3 brief + GATE-0 (Option 4) + GATE-1 ratifications Status: LOCKED pending GATE-2 ratification. Any parameter change requires HALT + new decision doc + new hash binding.

0. TL;DR

C3 Stage 2 mini retry v3 per-run manifest. Subject roster reduced from 3-provider to 2-provider per GATE-0 Option 4 (Ollama cloud 3.6 catalog miss). Subject primary qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-dashscope-direct chosen at GATE-1 based on 3/3 Stage-1 smoke reliability + 5.5 s median latency

  • TRUE Qwen 3.6 routing. Judges direct via LiteLLM (Anthropic/OpenAI/ Google AI Studio). 4 cells × N=100 = 400 evaluations, seed 42, $250 hard cap, 300 s HTTP timeout, max_tokens=16000, parallel_concurrency=2.

1. Audit header — v3 decisions summary

Stage 0 outcome (balance + alias verification)

  • Docker Desktop daemon down at entry → Marko restored. LiteLLM container Up post-restart, /health/liveliness HTTP 200.
  • All 6 provider keys present in container .env: ANTHROPIC, OPENAI, GEMINI, XAI, OPENROUTER, DASHSCOPE.
  • 2 LiteLLM alias siblings added (commit 5ec069e, pushed origin/main): qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-dashscope-direct (rename sibling of -via-dashscope), gemini-3.1-pro-preview (rename sibling of gemini-3.1-pro). Zero upstream behavior change.
  • 1 expected alias NOT ADDED: qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-ollama-cloud. Ollama cloud does NOT publish Qwen 3.6 as of 2026-04-23 catalog check (ollama.com/library/qwen3.6/tags). 3.6 publishes only local-inference variants (qwen3.6:35b-a3b, qwen3.6:35b-a3b-bf16, -mxfp8, -nvfp4, -mlx-bf16, -q4_, -q8_0), no cloud-routed :cloud suffix tags. Cloud-routed variants exist only for Qwen 3.5 family today. Marko adjudicated GATE-0 Option 4: accept 2-route roster. subject_fallback_2: NOT_AVAILABLE. Sprint 13 revisit flagged in the YAML (subject_fallback_2_detail.revisit_sprint) for re-check if Alibaba ships cloud-routed 3.6 in the meantime.

Stage 1 binary smoke summary

6 calls, 2 providers × 3 samples, total cost $0.0024.

Provider N OK Median latency Max latency Reason chars median Cost
qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-dashscope-direct 3 3/3 5,528 ms 11,655 ms 1971 $0.0017
qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-openrouter 3 2/3 3,353 ms (healthy only) 4,008 ms (healthy only) 1270 $0.0007

One HTTP 500 fast-fail (58 ms) on openrouter route for locomo_conv-26_q059 — classic OpenRouter bridge transient flake. Same class of upstream-flake as v1 run's tail-latency degradation that triggered the abort. dashscope-direct zero failures in smoke.

Per-sample correctness:

  • locomo_conv-26_q059 (open-ended religiosity question): dashscope-direct "Yes." vs gold "Somewhat, but not extremely religious" → content-match divergence (see §1.5 below); openrouter HTTP 500 — no response to compare.
  • locomo_conv-50_q086 (factoid): both providers returned "Skiing" matching gold exactly.
  • locomo_conv-44_q000 (temporal factoid): both providers returned "2020" matching gold exactly.

GATE-1 decision — primary provider pick

  • Primary: qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-dashscope-direct (TRUE Qwen 3.6, 100% smoke reliability, 5.5 s median latency, 25× headroom vs 300 s HTTP timeout)
  • Fallback_1: qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-openrouter (disclosed 3.5 regression — OpenRouter does NOT carry 3.6-a3b slug; documented in YAML subject_fallback_1_detail.regression_disclosure)
  • Fallback_2: NOT_AVAILABLE (GATE-0 Option 4 + Sprint 13 revisit)

Ollama cloud Qwen 3.6 catalog miss — Sprint 13 revisit flag

  • Verified 2026-04-23T02:00Z via ollama.com/library/qwen3.6/tags scrape (HTTP 200) and ollama pull attempts on qwen3.6:cloud, qwen3.6-cloud, qwen3.6-35b-a3b:cloud, qwen3.6:35b-a3b-cloud (all returned Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist).
  • Sprint 13 check-in: re-probe the same catalog + try alternate vendor routes (Alibaba Model Studio cloud-api OR DeepInfra Qwen 3.6 endpoints) to decide whether to re-introduce a third subject fallback. No commitment until Sprint 13 planning.

Sample A open-ended content-match observation (non-blocking)

Stage-1 smoke revealed that the dashscope-direct subject produced "Yes." for locomo_conv-26_q059 ("Would Caroline be considered religious?") whereas the gold answer is "Somewhat, but not extremely religious". This is a content-quality divergence on open-ended category questions, NOT a provider-reliability issue.

  • The cell-raw prompt template (cells.ts::buildUserPromptRaw + SYSTEM_BASELINE) optimizes for SHORT answers: "You are answering a short factoid question. Give the shortest possible answer; no preamble." — this pressure may cost nuance on open-ended categories.
  • Stage-3 full-retry judge ensemble (Opus + GPT-5.4 + Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview) will score "Yes." against "Somewhat, but not extremely" and likely classify as F2-partial or F3-off-topic.
  • Flagged as Stage-3 post-run investigation item, NOT a blocker for GATE-2. If the full-retry aggregate shows elevated F2-partial rate concentrated in LoCoMo's open-ended category, revisit the SYSTEM_BASELINE prompt's "shortest possible answer" framing in a separate Sprint 13 ticket. For now, run v3 on the same prompt template to preserve methodological continuity with v1 (prompts unchanged across runs; only subject routing + config changed).

Judge ensemble direct routing (unchanged from v1)

  • claude-opus-4-7 → anthropic/claude-opus-4-7 via ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (direct)
  • gpt-5.4 → openai/gpt-5.4 via OPENAI_API_KEY (direct)
  • gemini-3.1-pro-preview → gemini/gemini-3.1-pro-preview via GEMINI_API_KEY (Google AI Studio direct)

3. Known scope-outs / audit notes

3.1 Cell vocabulary drift (v1 vs v3)

v3 brief specifies cells [raw, context, retrieval, agentic]; the harness code in benchmarks/harness/src/runner.ts + benchmarks/harness/src/cells.ts uses v1 vocabulary [raw, filtered, compressed, full-context]. See YAML cells_audit_note for the two resolution paths (patch the runner's CellName union vs. runner invocation with documented mapping v3→v1). GATE-2 ratification should specify which path to take for Stage 3 kickoff.

Provisional semantic mapping for audit transparency:

v3 brief name v1 harness name Behaviour delta
raw raw 1:1 match — LLM only, no retrieval, no evolved prompt
context full-context Context retrieval + evolved prompt. v3 context reads as
"include context in the prompt" — closest existing cell is
full-context (context + evolved system). May need rename to
just context if v3 intent is context-only (no evolved sys).
retrieval filtered Memory-retrieval-like prompt, baseline system prompt.
agentic compressed Evolved system prompt, raw context. v3 agentic may intend
multi-turn tool-use; if so, this mapping is incorrect and a
new cell type needs implementation (out of scope for v3 retry).

3.2 Stage 3 runner invocation — script missing

v3 brief §3.2 invokes npx tsx scripts/run-mini-locomo.ts which does NOT exist in the repo. Options (flagged for GATE-2):

  1. Create scripts/run-mini-locomo.ts as a thin wrapper that reads the manifest YAML, applies the v3→v1 cell-name mapping, and shells out to runner.ts. Zero modifications to runner.ts.
  2. Invoke benchmarks/harness/src/runner.ts directly with equivalent flags. Flag translation:
    v3 brief flag runner.ts equivalent
    --manifest <path> --manifest-hash 628e44734be8...
    --subject <model> --model qwen3.6-35b-a3b-via-dashscope-direct
    --judge-ensemble <list> --judge-ensemble claude-opus-4-7,gpt-5.4,gemini-3.1-pro-preview
    --N 100 --limit 100
    --cells raw,context,retrieval,agentic --all-cells (mapped to v1 names; requires cells.ts patch) OR --per-cell raw --per-cell filtered --per-cell compressed --per-cell full-context
    --parallel-concurrency 2 NOT SUPPORTED — runner.ts executes sequentially per cell iteration. Parallelism requires either a runner.ts patch or running multiple runner.ts processes concurrently and aggregating JSONL post-hoc.
    --output <path> --output <path> (same; existing flag)

Parallel-concurrency=2 is the material implementation gap. At the observed 5.5 s median × 400 evals + judges, sequential takes ~6–10 h wall-clock. With concurrency=2 it drops to ~3–5 h wall-clock. Running two concurrent runner.ts processes and merging JSONL post-hoc is the low-risk substitute; patching runner.ts for in-process concurrency is a non-trivial change to the request loop.

3.3 F6 / F_other live emission

Unchanged from v1 manifest. Judge response parser still targets Sprint 9 5-value space. F6 and F_other will count as 0 in aggregate.failure_distribution.counts. Distribution remains structurally valid; review-flag gate OFF trivially. Activation deferred to Task 2 Phase 2 rubric splice.

3.4 models.json provider-field union lag

Unchanged from v1 manifest. ModelProvider union doesn't have direct-variant members; gpt-5.4.provider + gemini-3.1-pro.provider remain *_via_openrouter labels for TS-compat even though runtime routing is direct. Audit drift cosmetic; litellmModel + carve-out reason fields are authoritative for replay.

4. Judge ensemble liveness — pre-flight pings (captured 2026-04-23T13:18Z)

Per v3 brief §2.4: 1 call × 3 judges × 5 output tokens each via LiteLLM proxy localhost:4000/chat/completions.

Judge alias Latency Response Notes
claude-opus-4-7 1,958 ms "pong" Anthropic direct, clean
gpt-5.4 1,969 ms "pong" OpenAI direct, clean
gemini-3.1-pro-preview 7,825 ms "Pong" Google AI Studio direct; initial 48-token cap produced empty content (27 reasoning_tokens ate the budget). Re-pinged with max_tokens=256 → clean. Judge-client default max_tokens=1024 has ample headroom — verified clean at 256 already.

All three judges LIVE. Gemini reasoning-token behaviour documented; no action required for Stage 3 (judge-client already passes 1024).

5. Pre-flight spend snapshot (captured 2026-04-23T13:20Z)

OpenRouter

{"data":{"total_credits":595,"total_usage":403.111112227}}
Field Value
total_credits 595.00 USD
total_usage 403.11 USD
effective_balance 191.89 USD

Cumulative OpenRouter delta since the 2026-04-23T00:52Z v2 pre-run snapshot ($196.68 balance): −$4.79 (covers v2 partial run's subject-Qwen-via-OpenRouter spend and Stage 1 smoke's openrouter-route calls).

DashScope-intl liveness

GET https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1/models with DASHSCOPE_API_KEY: HTTP 200, catalog includes qwen3.6-35b-a3b and related Qwen 3.6 variants. Balance endpoint requires POST with date range — not fetched; operationally verified by successful smoke calls.

Direct-provider judge spend (not centrally tracked)

Anthropic / OpenAI / Google AI Studio spending accrues on their respective billing dashboards and is NOT visible from OpenRouter's /credits endpoint. Harness-side cost accumulator (runner.ts --budget enforcement + judgeCosts[]) is the in-run budget guard and applies across all providers uniformly.

Cumulative budget posture

Line item Spend Cumulative vs $325 cap
Pre-v3 setup (§2.1, §2.2, §2.3, §3.5) ~$0.001 $0.001 0.0003%
v2 partial run (aborted 01:33Z) ~$4.79 (OR side) + ~$3 (judges, estimated direct-provider side) = ~$7.79 $7.79 2.40%
v3 Stage 0 (Docker/alias audit) ~$0.001 $7.79 2.40%
v3 Stage 1 (binary smoke, 6 calls) $0.0024 $7.79 2.40%
v3 Stage 2 (this manifest, 4 pings) ~$0.0005 $7.80 2.40%
v3 Stage 3 expected $100–$200 $107–$208 33–64%
Hard abort $325

Headroom to hard abort: $317. Ample. Expected Stage-3 spend sits well inside the cap with >50% margin for retry/reasoning-tail cases.
