Why

Self-audit prompted by a collaborator voiding one of their own datasets. The nullcheck −354 tokens figure was measured at --rollouts 1 — which this same document elsewhere states is unreliable for A/B comparison (prompt-cache state carries across the two sequential episodes). That is the identical defect that led to retracting the aksops +14% in #16. It was sitting in two summary tables with no rollout count attached, and was about to be cited externally.

Changes

  • rollouts column added to both summary tables: nullcheck 1 ⚠️, shellseq 3, migrate 3, aksops 6.
  • nullcheck marked indicative only — do not quote the figure, with a provenance caveat in the TL;DR.
  • Its result block now shows the actual --rollouts 1 flag plus the caveat inline.

Impact on conclusions

None. "No JIT token win on any shape" does not rest on nullcheck: shellseq independently reproduces ~0% at 3 rollouts, and aksops is ~neutral at 6. The confound-isolation argument is also unaffected — it rests on traced bypass behaviour in shellseq/aksops, not on any token figure.

Docs-only.

Audit prompted by a collaborator voiding one of their own datasets: the
nullcheck -354 figure was measured at --rollouts 1, which this same
document elsewhere calls unreliable for A/B (prompt-cache carryover
between the two sequential episodes) — the identical defect that led to
retracting the aksops +14%. It was sitting in two summary tables with no
rollout count attached.

- Add a `rollouts` column to both summary tables (nullcheck 1, shellseq 3,
  migrate 3, aksops 6).
- Mark nullcheck indicative-only with an explicit "do not quote the figure".
- Show the actual --rollouts 1 flag in its result block + caveat.

The headline conclusion is unchanged and does not depend on it: shellseq
independently gives ~0% at 3 rollouts, aksops ~neutral at 6.
