The challenger adds , its uncertainty-aware estimate, and a preregistered interaction with task horizon: . The primary scoreboard is not an in-sample coefficient. It is leave-one-repository-out predictive log loss, calibration slope, and Brier score, each computed before inspecting a graph of agents. The transfer scoreboard withholds whole task families or repositories, then asks which model better predicts the outcome from the descriptions and annotations already frozen. A positive in-sample is not a result; a redaction variable is almost designed to correlate with difficulty. Only lower held-out error and better calibration earn the claim that it carries…

The challenger adds , its uncertainty-aware estimate, and a preregistered interaction with task horizon: . The primary scoreboard is not an in-sample coefficient. It is leave-one-repository-out predictive log loss, calibration slope, and Brier score, each computed before inspecting a graph of agents. The transfer scoreboard withholds whole task families or repositories, then asks which model better predicts the outcome from the descriptions and annotations already frozen. A positive in-sample is not a result; a redaction variable is almost designed to correlate with difficulty. Only lower held-out error and better calibration earn the claim that it carries an independent signal.
