## 2 · Speed (RESULT attempts only; client clock of record, PREREG A1-2)

A decode figure enters a median only when its token count holds (AUDIT-HARNESS B-1): COUNT-MISMATCH and COUNT-UNVERIFIED rows print `withheld` and their reason. The threads column is each start's own log line (PREREG A3).

### PREREG A7 · the llama.cpp controls beside L-IQ3-t8

L-IQ3-ub, L-IQ3-t16: controls with no band and no gate; nothing here feeds G0, G1, G2 or "Better". Each condition is read from that attempt's own argv, each n_batch / n_ubatch from that start's own server.log (src/llama-context.cpp:309-310, after the clamps), and each N from the argv with the frozen-N file the marker names. The first-token ratio is the base's median over this arm's median, from the medians printed.

## 3 · Quality (parser v2 strict; G1, G2, Better)

Reference check (re-derived from the laptop rows at estate `7d2a37bc`): qwen3.8:27b six-way 93/108, the gemma4 anchor's doorman 36/48, qwen3.5:27b 96/108 and 46/48.

**PREREG A4 (fa-off).** G1's llama.cpp side is read from the fa-off rows and printed with that condition: L-IQ3-fa0 (fa-off) stands for L-IQ3 against S-IQ3; L-Q2-fa0 (fa-off) stands for L-Q2 against S-Q2. If an fa-off arm also fails inside the doorman task, its doorman reads `not read (engine-failed)` and so does G1's doorman half; its six-way rows still read. The fa-on quality attempts stay as recorded: L-IQ3 a1 STOPPED, a2 STOPPED; L-Q2 a1 STOPPED.

**PREREG A5 (the fa-off condition).** Every fa-off row below, and every G1 cell read against one, prints its condition from that attempt's own argv: `fa-off (V cache f16, forced) at an 8K context` on A5-2's line (`-c 8192`; the V cache is f16 because 3cf03257 refuses a quantized V cache without flash attention, which also turns off V's rotation, A5-1), and the context the argv names on any other line. The two loads at A4's line (`-c 131072`) stopped before /health on the compute buffer's cudaMalloc (A5-2).

A rung that fails G2 keeps its speed rows but gets no value table (PREREG section 2). "Better" is the only win anyone may claim.
