#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Draw `TABLES-GAPS.md` — the three gaps of 2026-09-22, from stored rows only. This module **calls no model and touches no box**. Gaps 1 and 2 are arithmetic over row files that were written on 2026-09-21; gap 3 reads a scores file that `rerank_baseline.py` writes on this laptop's CPU. Nothing here contacts `inferencebox`, `the public host` or `benchbox`, and nothing here needs a GPU second. Every pre-registration it answers is in `GAPS.md`, committed before its first number existed. Where a result disagrees with what was pre-registered, the disagreement is printed in the tables rather than reconciled in silence. THE JOIN LAW. `kit/task_c.json` holds 108 distinct lines under 50 distinct `id` strings (README R6), so **no join in this file uses an id**. Arms are paired by POSITION in their row file, with `prompt_sha256` asserted equal at that position — the same rule `tables_addenda.py` adopted after the trap was found.
