§5 — Docs-campaign rotations checkpoint ledger
Evergreen: model-selection-and-global-refine §5 ·
driver f-docs-campaign-rotations · prior attempts
rotation 1 halted (reviewer outage) ·
rotation 1 re-run (prose false-positive halt).
This ledger records the stratified rotations run under the LLM-adjudicated banned-prose convergence gate
(imas-codex 1c2e166a + fbd6a51b): a grep flags candidate prose, an LLM adjudicator
(gpt-5.6-luna, quorum-independent) rules each flag legitimate-or-not, so the gate no longer halts on the
"is derived from [related quantity]" and definitional "for example" false positives that stopped the two
earlier attempts. One checkpoint row per rotation; the campaign is done when
sn run --campaign "prose,audit:latex,audit:spelling,audit:length" --dry-run → total 0.

Docs campaign COMPLETE — docs-axis defects fully drained (1,047 → 0). A final small rotation
(2026-07-20, 9/9 accepted, $2.52) cleared the last prose + latex findings. The prose,audit:latex,audit:spelling,audit:length
dry-run still shows a residue, but the only genuine remaining finding is NAME-axis, which a docs campaign can never clear
(it refines documentation, not names): 6 audit:spelling (all the same — *_strain_gauge names
carrying a British spelling; the catalog is US-spelling throughout, so they are renamed *_strain_gage through the normal
compose→review pipeline, never a direct accept). The other 52 audit:length flags were
not defects: the arbitrary 70-char length_soft_cap_check was removed as an anti-pattern (imas-codex
7e583184) — a name is as short as its physics requires and no shorter, so length alone never triggers a rename. From
rotation 4 on, every refreshed doc also ran on the new no-units prompt, so it is unit-free.
Rotation 5 (final) · 2026-07-20 · pilot 15 → 9 eligible · 9/9 accepted · $2.52 · docs-fixable 9 → 0 (the residual 6 are name-axis). Total docs campaign spend across R1–R5 ≈ $365 for the docs-axis clean-up of a ~2,300-name catalog.
Transient upstream 500s (OpenRouter/Azure, gpt-5.5 refine seat): 1 in rotation 1, 3 in rotation 2
(~0.14% of calls). Each dropped a single refine call, leaving the name's prior accepted doc — self-healing (the name re-enters the
next rotation's selection). Root-caused as a retry-classification gap and fixed (imas-codex cbd9cb6f): a 500 is now
retryable like a 503, distinct from the 429 path that drives the AIMD governor's concurrency pullback. Live from rotation 3.
Rotation 1 (clean, full) — checkpoint detail
The first docs-campaign rotation to run to completion with no false-positive halt. Both 100-name batches
processed; the LLM-adjudicated gate cleared every grep flag as legitimate and the campaign reported
Campaign complete: 2 batches, 199/200 docs accepted, re-audit 7 re-quarantined / 193 cleared,
prose-adjudicator cleared 3 grep flag(s) as legitimate, spend $58.44.
| Gate axis | Threshold | Rotation 1 | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Docs acceptance | ≥ 0.90 | 199/200 = 0.995 (1 refine name lost to a transient upstream 500) | ✅ PASS |
| Review quorum intact | full pair per leaf | 244 quorum_consensus + 42 authoritative_escalation; 21 single_review are derived-parent reviews (single-model by design); 0 degraded by outage | ✅ PASS |
| Upstream outages | 0 | 0 — the July-18 quorum-collapse failure mode did not recur | ✅ PASS |
| Banned prose reintroduced | 0 | 3 grep flags (coordinate, launched_power_of_lower_hybrid_antenna, particle_current_density) → all adjudicated legitimate definitional prose; 0 genuine | ✅ PASS |
| Name-identity drift | 0 | 0 — names_composed=0 both batches; docs-only refine on unchanged ids | ✅ PASS |
| Refine claim-race waste | < 5% | 1.8% (batch 1, 1/55) · 3.6% (batch 2, 2/55) | ✅ PASS |
| Cost / name | ≈ $0.29 | $0.292 ($58.44 / 200) — on the re-baselined premium-pair estimate | ✅ PASS |
| Transient call failures | bounded | 1 / 968 (0.1%) — one OpenRouter/Azure 500 on a single refine call; isolated, not an outage | ✅ PASS |
The LLM-adjudicated gate did its job
The three grep flags the deterministic prose predicate raised were each ruled legitimate by the adjudicator with a reasoned verdict — the exact behaviour the two earlier halts needed:
coordinate— "the 'For example' clauses provide taxonomy and concrete definitional distinctions among coordinate types, variables, and sign conventions rather than procedural or magnitude-related padding."launched_power_of_lower_hybrid_antenna— "a definitional per-antenna power-balance equation … without prescribing an external measurement or estimation procedure."particle_current_density— "the governing kinetic moment and a definitional relation to the perturbed quantity, not an external measurement or estimation procedure."
The deterministic re-audit is the machine check on prose-clean: 193 names cleared their defect predicates and dropped out of the selection; 7 re-quarantined (docs that still trip an audit predicate after refine, carried to a later rotation). Net selection: 1,047 → 889.
Cost note — ceiling re-baselined
Rotation 1 confirmed $0.292/name, matching the premium blind-pair re-baseline (not the retired $0.20 basis the
original followup command assumed). Rotations 2+ therefore run with --campaign-cost-ceiling 150 (was 120) so a 450-name
rotation (≈$130) completes in one pass with a single checkpoint, keeping the --campaign-batch-cost-cap 50 per-batch guard.
~889 remaining ≈ $260 to empty the selection, inside the lead's accepted premium.
What's next
Rotation 2 (pilot 450) is running. On each rotation: run the orchestrator checkpoint (accept ≥0.90, 0 prose reintroduction,
0 drift, cost/name ≈$0.29, refine waste <5%, quorum intact), append the row above, then re-run the same command — the selection
self-prunes. Done when the dry-run total reaches 0; then close expert-review reply open item 1 via
f-expert-review-reply-doc. Tracked by f-docs-campaign-rotations.
