Compare capabilities and delivery evidence. Source discovery, qualification, deployment and accepted outcomes are separate; an open contract names work still to verify.

Nishi classified-egress worker lane (free inference as a U-cleared sink, byte-exact judge, egress ledger, terms as data) vs LiteLLM gateway and the OpenRouter router and LLM Guard egress scanning and openai-evals model grading -- Aug-2026 field

Overview

The purpose, declared position and evidence coverage of this domain. Source presence and completed acceptance are different measures.

Where we are. MEASURED 2026-08-24 against the catalogue and the mirrored terms: the sovereign TLS 1.3 client and a JSON POST over it are LIVE (yt_post, nx_https_req_complete), the vault and its lease rotation are BUILT (vlt_derive, rot_due), the clearance resolver and the public U index are LIVE (ag_uid_to_level, dss_search_off_div), the evidence register and its pin gate are LIVE (rf_provenance, crg_pin_ok), the byte-exact judge and the forge prompt and fence machinery are LIVE (fg_run, fg_bank, fm_compose_prompt, fm_strip_fences, fc_emit), the plane ledger verb is LIVE (nsp_hist_append) and the SWE-bench Verified grader is BUILT (sg_verdicts). CORRECTED 2026-08-25, MEASURED: XL1 and XL2 ARE NOW LIVE. nx_extllm (nx_catalog VERDICT LIVE -- source, built, promoted, registered, authorised, invoked, with_gaps=0) reads the 13-provider terms ledger and the release manifest, both of which existed as DATA since 2026-08-24 with ZERO readers in the whole 23,235-file corpus. Its gate is 27/27 GREEN on the live NAS binary and BITE-PROVEN twice: mutating the cumulative bound to a per-call check killed the aggregation tooth (RED 24/25) while its fixture-reached-the-condition partner stayed PASS, and mutating the classifier fail-open killed exactly the undeclared-source and empty-manifest neg-controls while the stale-hash tooth stayed PASS. Promote rulers agreed: nx_contentdiff lost_from_live=0 over 136 runs, nx_behaveprobe first_diff_off=-1 IDENTICAL STRONG. An UNPINNED terms row now ADMITS NOTHING, so a provider posture we have not pinned to a mirrored contract cannot be asserted. The Claude tier is in the ledger keyed on ACCOUNT TIER, not vendor name, because Free/Pro/Max and API/Team/Enterprise publish OPPOSITE defaults; all four rows are pinned to mirrors fetched 2026-08-25, and the UNDECLARED row REFUSES until the operator declares which tier this estate runs under. DISTILL is refused for anthropic on every tier -- both contracts forbid using outputs to train a competing model and our no-float LM is exactly that -- so the sovereign corpus can never be grown from Claude output. STILL ABSENT: NO external call organ, NO pool scheduler, NO external forge backend, NO best-of-N, NO LLM judge, NO egress ledger PLANE (the odometer arithmetic ships and is gate-proven, but nothing writes a row per call yet) and NO publish guard. The subject provider census (27 pages mirrored, 179 fetches by the research lane) is summarised in the Market row below.

Where we need to go. OPERATOR ASK (2026-08-24): stand up the OpenRouter stealth key as a capability, publish a /compare on it, and research the August-2026 opportunities to farm training and other work off free resources where the material is already public -- with a classification system like the estate's top-secret-down model applied to every such use, and with the free models working the open code-emitting rungs toward the /compare/coding and /compare/lang bars while the gates rule and the assistant only judges. Deliverable: the classified call lane (terms ledger, egress classifier, call plus scheduler plus ledger), the external forge tier (public pack, backend, best-of-N), the judge panel, the rung worker, the publish guard and the terms-gated distillation harvest.

The unit. 1 u = one measured session-leg (organ plus gate plus live flip), the standing calibration.
Cost to a classified call lane: 4 u. XL1 the terms ledger read from the pinned mirrors [stealtheula] [ortos], XL2 the egress classifier and the release manifest, XL3 the call over the sovereign TLS client with the scheduler and the egress ledger. Version 0.1.
Cost to a free worker on the forge: 2.5 u more. XL4 the public-only pack and the external backend behind fm_compose_prompt, XL5 best-of-N against the byte-exact judge [llmonkeys]. 6.5 u cumulative = version 1.0.
Cost to an independent referee and a safe page: 2 u more. XL6 the judge panel over U artifacts [openaievals], XL8 the publish guard the Stealth AUP requires [stealtheula]. 8.5 u cumulative.
Cost to rung workers and a lawful distillation harvest: 3.5 u more. XL7 the rung worker loop over open plan rungs, XL9 the harvest gated per provider on the output-rights row [groqsa] [deepseektos] [cfterms]. 12 u cumulative = version 2.0.

Research bar. Stealth Program EULA, the contract that binds a free stealth model is measured on OpenRouter, updated 2026-07-06. Theirs: models are offered free of charge for purposes of collecting User Content for use in Stealth Model training and improvement; an irrevocable perpetual licence to the provider; a ban on publicly disseminating confidential technical information regarding the performance of the models [stealtheula]. Ours: XL1 carries these as rows and XL8 enforces the publish ban; the model page banner that says the opposite [oxalpha] is recorded beside it as the marketing statement it is.

Research bar. Large Language Monkeys, sampling against a verifier is measured on arXiv 2407.21787. Theirs: coverage climbs with the number of samples when a verifier exists [llmonkeys]. Ours: XL5 -- the estate's verifier is a byte-exact equality and a free sampler makes N affordable.

Research bar. Groq Services Agreement, the free tier that does not train and leaves outputs yours is measured on Groq, effective 2026-06-22. Theirs: Groq is not permitted to use Inputs or Outputs for training or fine-tuning any models unless explicitly granted permission; the customer retains all rights in Inputs and Outputs [groqsa]; free tier limits published per model [groqlimits]. Ours: XL9 -- the first provider whose outputs may lawfully grow the forge ledger; XL3 schedules to its published caps.

Business case

AxisPositionFiguresDecision
InvestmentZero token cost on every free tier in the census; the whole investment is organ work (12 u to version 2.0) and the operator's release decision for the manifest; no hardware and no credit card on the Groq, OpenRouter free, Cloudflare and Z.ai paths [groqlimits] [orlimits] [cfpricing] [zaitos], a card on Cerebras [cerebrastos]12 u; the return is rungs climbed on other boards by workers that cost nothing per tokenfund XL1 to XL3 now -- the terms ledger and the classifier are reused by every external call the estate will ever make
MarketThe August-2026 free-inference field from the mirrored record: OpenRouter routes one stealth model and a free collection where some providers train on prompts and OpenRouter itself does not [orfree] [orprivacy], with a per-request data_collection deny switch [orrouting] and published free-tier caps [orlimits]; Google's unpaid Gemini tier uses submissions to improve its products and forbids developing competing models [geminiterms] [geminipricing]; Groq's free tier does not train and leaves outputs yours [groqsa]; Cerebras replaced its free tier with a card-gated trial and forbids benchmarking [cerebrastos]; SambaNova's free tier does not train but forbids publishing performance results [sambanovaeula]; Mistral trains by default on preview models and on opt-in-by-default products [mistraltos]; Cloudflare gives a daily neuron allowance and does not train on customer content [cfterms] [cfpricing]; NVIDIA's API catalogue is trial-only, collects content to improve its models and forbids production use [nvidiatrial]; Z.ai's Flash models are free, not trained on, and their outputs may not train a competing model [zaitos]; DeepSeek is paid, stores data in the PRC and explicitly permits distillation [deepseektos]; Alibaba Model Studio gives a per-model free quota and states it never trains on customer data [alibabaquota] [alibabaprivacy]; GitHub Models was retired on 2026-07-30 [ghmodels]three classes fall out and the ledger encodes them: WORKER (any provider, U material only), JUDGE (any provider, U artifacts), DISTILL (Groq, Cloudflare, DeepSeek only)no provider is trusted from its model card; every row is read from the pinned contract
Opportunity costThe forge today samples from a local 0.5B and 1.5B tier that pattern-copies; a free frontier-class sampler behind the same byte-exact judge converts the coding domain's best-of-N rung from a throughput problem into a scheduling problemthe ruler stays ours, the samples become freecharge XL1, XL2, XL3 and XL8 to the platform; XL4 to XL7 to the coding domain; XL9 to the modelwright domain
Competitive positionThe gateway field owns routing and spend [litellm]; the DLP field owns pattern scanning [llmguard]; the evaluation field owns model-graded evals [openaievals]; none of them owns a clearance model, a terms ledger read from pinned contracts, or a byte-exact judge on the worker's outputour position is the guard and the ruler, not the modeluse their inference, keep our classification, publish only what the contract permits
Buy vs buildInference: TAKE FREE where the terms row permits the use, BUY DeepSeek for distillation if volume is wanted [deepseektos]. Transport, vault, classification, judge, ledger: already BUILT. Terms ledger, classifier, scheduler, backend, panel, worker, guard, harvest: BUILD -- none exist to buy in the clearance-aware formthe only build is the guard and the loop; the model is never ours to own on this laneguard first, worker second, harvest last

Market-entry ladder

LevelBest in class (Aug 2026)What we haveWhat must growVerdict
HobbyistPaste a prompt into a free model's page or a router's playground [oxalpha]; no clearance, no ledger, the prompt is the payment [stealtheula]the classification rule as a written instruction: only what the public site already serves may be pastednothing structural -- the discipline of the operator and the assistantENTER NOW by hand on U material only; it is how the 21-call probe of 2026-08-24 was run, and it is where the manifest's first rows come from
Small businessA gateway with key management, retries and spend logs [litellm], a router with per-request data-collection routing [orrouting] and published caps [orlimits]the sovereign transport, the vault and rotation, the plane ledger verb, the pin gateXL1 the terms ledger, XL2 the classifier, XL3 the call with the scheduler and the ledgerGROW-FIRST -- enter when M0 is green; until then every external call is a hand-run probe on U material and nothing else
Market leaderEnterprise gateways with DLP scanning of prompts [llmguard], zero-data-retention contracts with the inference vendors [groqsa] [cfterms], model-graded evaluation suites [openaievals]a clearance model the field does not have (ag_uid_to_level, the public U index with a consent bit) and a byte-exact judge the field cannot haveXL2 at the door, XL6 the panel, XL8 the guardHOLD until M2 -- and the position is stronger than the leader's once XL2 ships, because a level is a rule where a pattern list is a floor
Innovation leaderNobody in the field combines clearance-by-construction egress, provider terms as pinned data consumed at the call, and a deterministic verifier judging the worker's output; the closest published result is sampling against a verifier [llmonkeys]the verifier and the classification are measured present; the wiring is the whole gapXL4 and XL5 published on the coding board with the external tier as the samplerTHIS IS THE WEDGE -- reachable at M1 without any model of our own, which is why the entry order is guard, then worker, then harvest
Research leaderDistillation from frontier outputs where the licence permits it [deepseektos] [groqsa], repository-level agents graded on SWE-bench [swebench], contamination-aware evaluationthe SWE-bench Verified grader owning its denominator (sg_verdicts) and the compile-verified forge ledgerXL7 rung workers feeding the ledger and XL9 the harvest, then the modelwright domain's training arc over itAFTER M3 -- the ledger is the research asset and it accrues from the first worker run, so the research rung is a by-product of the worker rung, not a separate investment
Supervised delegation iteration 2026-09-10 t45: Connected subscription worker dispatched; output review pending. CLI session31953 revalidated live and given public hypothetical cotton-underwear comparison experiment task without tools, files or browsing. No private Nishi source or training data submitted. Existing approved Aster account; other accounts not connected by this action. Exception: existing subscription CLI used because estate subscription dispatch API remains unintegrated; close through existing worker/admission owner with account isolation, allowance evidence, result provenance and review gates. Do not count dispatch as accepted work or delivered capability. Quality and timeliness lead; cost savings cannot reduce capability. Parallel Beach native floor/reservation and authored rig/animation owners remain priority.
Claude supervised result review 2026-09-10 t45: Third completed response needs revision; not accepted as market evidence. Message msg_011CeuxpqYabZir1YhXsAhpa reviewed in full. Useful hypotheses and financing caveats, but rib/jacquard conflicts with same-construction control, numeric test thresholds and 40-unit sample count lack evidence, and geography exclusion is overbroad. Revision feedback submitted; no business recommendation adopted. This call usage: input2 cachewrite904 cacheread40125 output686; categories are token events, not cost or work share. Root collector private t45 now passes60/60 native regression checks; missing-source CLI exits3, realempty exits0, read_integrity_verified remainsfalse pending shared-reader guarantees. No collector deployment claimed.
Actual miner coverage audit 2026-09-10 t47: Tool-action mining works within scope; delegate delivery coverage absent. Existing nx_claude_harvest frames processed actual public Claude revision message msg_011CeuxtRZYM7etGLt86Bn1u from2138-byte sanitized transcript viaAPI job1789052758: innerexit0 frames0 truncated0. This is expected for a text-only response and proves this action stream alone cannot measure completed delegate responses, token usage or accepted work. Extend existing harvester with message-ID dedup and explicit response/review/artifact evidence rather than mislabeling zero tool actions as no work. Existing nx_teacher source inspected: grade-threshold autonomy policy alone lacks demonstrated evidence provenance/freshness admission. Existing nx_orchestrate source inspected: child-status shift can mask signals and main discards workstream nonzero; runtime negativecontrol needed before repair. No new task-giver service authorized by this audit; deepen existing owners. Claude revision corrected textile confound but remains an unvalidated research-design draft, not financing evidence.
Dispatcher false-success audit 2026-09-10 t48: Native defect reproduced; private correction qualified within scope. Actual owned child killed by signal9 in native API job1789053113: old orchestration status decoder returned0, existing shared wait_status_rc correctly returnednonzero;7checks passed. Private nx_orchestrate_status_t48 reuses shareddecoder, rejects failed wait and propagates non-success at main. Actual dispatch fixture job1789053219 preserved a successful builtworker and a missingworker failure. Canonical nx_orchestrate is not adopted/deployed by this record. Remaining taskgiver gaps include no-bound-organ run state, durable record failure propagation, evidence freshness and result-to-acceptance joins. Reuse existing nx_teacher/nx_orchestrate owners; no new orchestration service.
2026-09-10 owner identity correction and callable intelligence hierarchy: Private qualification; not deployed. Root t49 discovered runtime/nx_orchestrate.nx is historical dispatcher; runtime/_hdl_build/nx_orchestrate.nx is unrelated queue poller; existing runtime/nx_orchestrate_gate.nx explicitly imports actual renamed owner nx_orchestrate_raci.nx. Earlier claim of canonical dispatcher adoption was incorrect. Historical file restored to8808B job4107; corrected candidate now derives actual owner9898B verified via nx_fs size, private nx_orchestrate_raci_status_t49.nx9930B job4101. No runtime deployment. Required hierarchy: primitive one operation, workflow one moderate task with composed execution/recovery/evidence, team one advanced task with scoping/research/delegation/review/delivery. Beach initial integrated proof only; language/compiler, browser/video and all domain capability depth/breadth remain objective. Existing published requirements need owner and executable acceptance joins; source identity cannot be inferred from basename or stale comments. Next verify actual RACI candidate and registry source-to-binary-to-tool binding before promotion.

Browser/video existing plans located and read; their historic figures require current acceptance reruns, not fresh plan duplication.
2026-09-10 supervised public input-scenario task: Draft revision required. Claude Aster subscription CLI session31953 verified alive and given public/synthetic five-scenario input QA task; no private code egress. Specific non-MCP exception: existing subscription CLI bridge not yet exposed by estate dispatcher, next close native provider dispatch/receipt path.

2026-09-10 Claude input-scenario revision audit: 2 responses; no executed tests. Revision msg_011Cev1w29KKh8rX1Sa2ZpGR corrected inertia, unsupported timing, focus-path distinction and remap conflict policy, but253 whitespace words exceeds220 limit.

No provider dollar cost or overall estate work percentage inferred. Root full-reviewed both responses; candidate scenarios remain design evidence, not automated coverage or test passes. Next delegate admission should enforce measurable output constraints before accepting response and retain reviewer corrections, using existing collector/dispatcher owners.
2026-09-10 evidence arbitration and review-miner semantic regression: Legacy baseline; 2026 qualification unproven. Root must face same evidence admission as Claude; two-to-one agreement triggers investigation, never establishes truth. Separate observed runtime, applicable specification, empirical publication, product policy and unresolved inference. Native existing nx_reviewmine_lib with real NOTMEET lexicon job1789055482 compiled private nx_reviewmine_semantic_t55 ELF41440B SHAabe60a63e7ec40fd30d8d0b4f89055af34f0e74e6bed6f5e4304b9336d37ddf9; full output reviewed: explicit complaint and plain positive controls pass, negated disappointment and better-than-expected praise fail; RED2/4 innerexit1. Four synthetic cases are counterexamples, not corpus accuracy. No production miner replacement shipped. Existing owner uses documentwide lexical OR; upgrade requires contextual/aspect extraction, source spans, negation, dedup/version/device/coverage annotations, held-out measured evaluation and abstention before investment rankings. Research initiated via existing nx_research_fetch: 2026.findings-acl.892 job1789055507 and 2026.semeval-1.452 job1789055506; fetch does not equal research acceptance. No training authorized. W3C input specs retained jobs1789055422/5423; do not infer game inertia, pause or remapping policy from browser event specification.
2026-09-10 operator scan-to-manufacture direction: Reusable capture-compare-improve evidence chain; future endpoint. Operator requests 3D scanner imports with technical specifications to verify product duplication and identify efficient manufacture with superior quality through 1-2-3 evaluation. Preserve measured geometry, units, calibration, uncertainty, coverage, scan/source hash and specification version. Separate observed geometry from unobserved material/internal structure and manufacturing inference; scanner alone cannot establish all product properties. Compare candidate geometry/tolerances to measured reference, propose manufacturing alternatives with explicit cost/time/quality assumptions, then require prototype/metrology/function/aesthetic evidence before superior-product claim. Reuse estate import/provenance/Compare owners; no new service, manufacturing qualification or reverse-engineering clearance asserted. Immediate Beach transfer: authored model/material integrity and measured render/collision agreement, including current garment-uniform contamination defect under correction.
2026-09-10 existing peer-review owner audit: Evidence arbitration gap verified in source. Full-read existing runtime/_hdl_build/nx_peer_review.nx: pr_resolve returns agreed grade automatically or supplied tie-break grade, with no evidence arguments. Agreement function measures agreement only; it cannot prove correctness. Reuse this owner for additive evidence-aware adjudication; preserve existing contract while preventing new consumers treating agreement as factual acceptance. Existing nx_critics_review.nx full-read computes five named critic views from one shared harmony record, not five independent assessments; its output must not count as independent research votes. Research-source pages July2026 E-ABSA20K and DimABSA read: propose/ground/scope/verify extraction and dimensional aspect evaluation are candidates to benchmark, not proof of Nishi performance or game-review transfer. Both fetched HTTP200 via estate with retained hashes. Beach correction remains priority.
2026-09-10 supervised collaboration scenarios: One draft reviewed; not accepted unchanged. Existing Aster CLI31953 verified live then public synthetic four-case task submitted. Non-MCP exception remains subscription dispatch unavailable through estate API; next native dispatcher and receipt admission. Fable5.1 msg_011Cev2onzDn6CS9uHma2ah2 input2 cachecreate806 cacheread43343 output458. Root full-read response: four relevant permission/network/navigation/access scenarios, but211 whitespace words violates180. Access rejection must follow declared room policy (public links may intentionally admit); disconnect identity continuity and presence timing need policy and transport evidence; UI indicators alone do not prove absent media capture/transmission. Not accepted unchanged, no executed communication tests. Existing nx_game_chat source and prior pure-Nishi-media memory located; no duplicate WebRTC service introduced. Resource use is draft generation, not delivered estate capability.

Evidence profile — what the gaps on this board actually are

Measured by nx_swcompare_evidence, read back by nx_evprofile_lib. Every figure is a count with its denominator — there is deliberately no score, no grade and no percentage anywhere in this band, because a stored scalar is a field a seat can edit and a counted partition is not.

evidence|grounded 21/21|unsupported 0|gates green 0/0|proven able to fail n/a — no gate ran|green at 0/0 0|open gaps 10|of them unnamed 0|of them proof withheld 0|flips ready 3

proven able to fail counts the gates that have a RECORDED RED — nx_gate_bite mutated the gate subject, rebuilt it, watched the gate go red, and that record is inside the shared TTL. never bitten is its complement over the same denominator: those gates ran and were green, and nothing has ever shown them able to detect anything, so their green is a statement about this run and not about the gate. green at 0/0 is a separate and much weaker observation — the gate printed GREEN on a zero denominator, so its own tooth counter says it examined nothing. A gate can be green, non-zero, and still never bitten; that is the common case and it is now visible instead of implied.

partition: grounded + unsupported = 21 vs present 21 · named + unnamed + withheld = 10 vs open 10 · both reconcile

liar-kill conj=GPqN · first failing conjunct: quorum

graded document: BUILDROOT tree, 14461 bytes · gates map: NONE · stamped 37d 6h ago · STALE against the shared TTL of 604800s — this is evidence about a build nobody can vouch for now · source ../knowledge/status/evstamp_extllm.verdict

Gap classWhat it is, and the work it names
CLAIM-ONLYNo declared gate ran for this board, so every capability mark here rests on a symbol existing in source and on nothing executing. The remedy is to WRITE a .gates map naming gates that already run — authoring, not research.
FLIP-READYA watch contract symbol is now present in the organ it named: the cell can flip on a pure data edit with no new code. These are the cheapest closures on this board and they belong before any new work.
STALEThis profile is older than the shared TTL, or its clock ran backwards. It is reported as unusable rather than as fresh, because being wrong in the direction of refusing is the safe direction.
This band reports the referee counts. The per-axis worklist rows — which axis is unsupported, which watch is ready to flip, which gap is unnamed — are printed by nx_swcompare_evidence extllm itself and are not carried on the stamp, so this page names the classes and the producer names the rows. That split is stated rather than hidden: a count without a worklist is not actionable, and this band is honest about which half of that it is.

Both are measurable and a harvest that cannot show them is not wired. External output is then a SUPPLEMENT that can only ever enter as a CANDIDATE judged by our own byte-exact verifier, with its provenance recorded per row so the deletion test above stays possible. Only then does the terms gate apply: worker outputs are harvested into the forge's compile-verified ledger only where the terms row reads outputs_train_ours YES -- Groq [groqsa], Cloudflare Workers AI [cfterms], DeepSeek which permits distillation by name [deepseektos]; providers whose terms forbid training a competing model -- Gemini unpaid [geminiterms], NVIDIA trial [nvidiatrial], Z.ai [zaitos] -- are refused for this use and stay worker or judge only; UNKNOWN refusesOrgan1.5 u

Ladder verdict. NOT DECLARED. This board names no dated best-in-class or frontier target and no rung roles (sotatarget and rungrole rows on its plan); the ranker labels it NO-LADDER until it does, and until then its rungs climb toward a target nobody has written down. Bars read NO-BAR against the current month 2026-10.

Treatment verdict. NOT DECLARED. No rung on this board declares its three-step treatment (a treat row naming the MCP row, the API route, the primitive it composes, the workflow that composes it and the agent beat that runs it); the ranker labels every rung TREATMENT-UNDECLARED until it does.

  1. XL1 — Provider terms ledger

    Prerequisites: None declared; this does not establish execution eligibility.

    Contract: xl_terms_ledger

    Acceptance: one row per provider read from the PINNED mirror, never the live site: trains_on_input, outputs_train_ours, benchmark_publish_restricted, retention, card_required, rate caps; UNKNOWN is a value and REFUSES every gated use; neg-control: a provider with no mirror row must never read ALLOW [@ortos] [@orprivacy] [@orlimits]

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  2. XL2 — Egress classifier and release manifest

    Prerequisites: None declared; this does not establish execution eligibility.

    Contract: xl_egress_class

    Acceptance: every prompt byte resolves to a public-index cid or to a row of the operator-declared release manifest, else the call REFUSES naming the offending source; the manifest is data the operator writes, never a default; neg-control: a prompt assembled from an unreleased runtime .nx must never leave; positive control: a prompt built only from public compare pages must pass

    Authored effort: 1.5. Executor kind: Organ. Responsible, accountable and verifier not established. Inspect retained worklog.

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  3. XL3 — Call, scheduler and egress ledger

    Prerequisites: XL1 (acceptance unverified), XL2 (acceptance unverified)

    Contract: xl_call

    Acceptance: request built from a conf row (provider, model, effort, max tokens) and sent through nx_https_req_complete with the key read from the vault; the 429 attributed to its source (shared pool versus this key) and the body state named; one lane per free pool with backoff derived from the measured refusal rate and concurrency pinned to the measured admission (2 of 6, 2026-08-24) [@orlimits] [@orrouting]; one ledger row per call (provider, model, prompt hash, bytes, class, terms pin, verdict) through nsp_hist_append; neg-control: a call whose terms row reads UNKNOWN is refused before the socket opens

    Authored effort: 1.5. Executor kind: Organ. Responsible, accountable and verifier not established. Inspect retained worklog.

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  4. XL4 — Public pack and external forge backend

    Prerequisites: XL2 (acceptance unverified), XL3 (acceptance unverified)

    Contract: fm_post_ext

    Acceptance: fc_emit_public emits the rules corpus plus RELEASED stdlib signatures only and fails closed on any unreleased source exactly as fc_emit fails closed on an UNVERIFIED rule; fm_post_ext produces a candidate into the same file fg_run judges; gate: a candidate from the external tier passes the byte-exact judge on the L4 mini-pack task; neg-control: a pack carrying an unreleased signature is refused by name

    Authored effort: 1.5. Executor kind: Organ. Responsible, accountable and verifier not established. Inspect retained worklog.

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  5. XL5 — Best-of-N against the free verifier

    Prerequisites: XL4 (acceptance unverified)

    Contract: fg_best_of_n

    Acceptance: N candidates per task through fg_run, first GREEN kept, pass-at-N monotone in N on the mini-pack, NONE reported when no candidate is GREEN rather than the best-scoring wrong answer [@llmonkeys]; the same contract /compare/coding names as CD2, so both pages flip on one organ

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  6. XL6 — External judge panel

    Prerequisites: XL3 (acceptance unverified)

    Contract: lj_grade

    Acceptance: free external models grade a U artifact under a pre-declared rubric and the grade travels with the claim as the independent referee the estate's progress law requires; the same contract the referee domain names [@openaievals]; neg-control: a panel requested over a C artifact is refused at the door by XL2, never graded

    Authored effort: 1.5. Executor kind: Organ. Responsible, accountable and verifier not established. Inspect retained worklog.

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  7. XL7 — Rung worker loop

    Prerequisites: XL4 (acceptance unverified), XL5 (acceptance unverified)

    Contract: xl_rung_worker

    Acceptance: reads a /compare plan rung whose spec and KAT resolve entirely to U sources, runs sampler then judge then bank, files the GREEN candidate on the pm intake plane for review by the assistant; a rung citing unreleased source is SKIPPED by name; the loop reports rungs attempted, GREEN, RED and SKIPPED with the partition summing

    Authored effort: 2. Executor kind: Organ. Responsible, accountable and verifier not established. Inspect retained worklog.

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  8. XL8 — Publish guard

    Prerequisites: XL1 (acceptance unverified)

    Contract: xl_publish_guard

    Acceptance: the compare emit may carry capability rows about an external provider and may NOT carry per-model performance numbers while the provider's terms row says benchmark_publish_restricted [@stealtheula] [@cerebrastos] [@sambanovaeula]; measured numbers stay on the internal plane at class C; neg-control: an emit carrying a per-model score for a restricted provider is refused

    Authored effort: 0.5. Executor kind: Gate. Responsible, accountable and verifier not established. Inspect retained worklog.

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

  9. XL9 — Terms-gated distillation harvest

    Prerequisites: XL1 (acceptance unverified), XL3 (acceptance unverified)

    Contract: xl_distill_corpus

    Acceptance: SOVEREIGNTY IS THE ACCEPT RULE, NOT THE PERMISSION. The corpus must never DEPEND on a provider: with every external sampler disabled the verified ledger must still STRICTLY GROW over a run, and deleting every externally-provenanced row must leave it passing its quality bar unchanged. Both are measurable and a harvest that cannot show them is not wired. External output is then a SUPPLEMENT that can only ever enter as a CANDIDATE judged by our own byte-exact verifier, with its provenance recorded per row so the deletion test above stays possible. Only then does the terms gate apply: worker outputs are harvested into the forge's compile-verified ledger only where the terms row reads outputs_train_ours YES -- Groq [@groqsa], Cloudflare Workers AI [@cfterms], DeepSeek which permits distillation by name [@deepseektos]; providers whose terms forbid training a competing model -- Gemini unpaid [@geminiterms], NVIDIA trial [@nvidiatrial], Z.ai [@zaitos] -- are refused for this use and stay worker or judge only; UNKNOWN refuses

    Authored effort: 1.5. Executor kind: Organ. Responsible, accountable and verifier not established. Inspect retained worklog.

    Runtime observation: UNKNOWN; outcome UNKNOWN; observed epoch -1. Declared owner: . Receipt , SHA-256 . Identity-bound observation is not accepted completion. Qualification and deployment remain unverified by this projection.

Learning and practice paths

No structured learning path is declared for this plan. Existing research, roadmap and worklog remain available above.

Rung dossiers — every record that bears on a rung, in one place

Joined by symbol, never typed. Each dossier is assembled on every publish from the rows this board already carries: the plan's rung row, the matrix row that carries its contract symbol (its status re-measured by the one symbol ruler), the gate the organ declares and the verdict the evidence referee recorded on its last run, the reference marks in the rung text, the design rows that name the rung and the work log filed against it. The capability matrix links each cell to its dossier and each dossier links back to its cell and forward to the rungs it stands on; a dependency naming no rung on this plan is written as UNRESOLVED rather than linked. Absences are named: NO-MATRIX-ROW, NO-GATE-DECLARED, UNRECORDED.
Gate verdicts: UNSTAMPED — no per-gate verdict artifact is published for this domain yet (nx_swcompare_evidence extllm writes it beside its stamp); every gate below reads UNRECORDED until it runs.
Gate declarations: knowledge/organ_gate.conf read from this working directory (1 rows) and from the estate root (196 rows); rows in both counted once: 0; declarations read: 197. Every declaration in either copy counts, so a stub beside the publisher can never hide the root.

2026-09-10 measure 2026-09-10 TOKEN ROI INVESTMENT: operator prioritizes quality and timeliness, using included personal Claude Max capacity without paid API/overage fallback. Net root-token saving remains UNKNOWN: observed provider tokens are available for one latest reviewed task, but actual briefing/review/rework token attribution and a matched root-only counterfactual are absent. Do not turn unknown into zero or claim positive savings from completed responses. Existing delegation owner must retain task class, account/model identity, measured provider categories, actual supervision where observable, accepted/reworked/rejected outcome, integration evidence and elapsed time; counterfactual avoided effort must be labeled estimated with its comparison method. Rank reusable task classes by accepted integrated work with quality and delivery-time gates. Subscription quota percentages are separate from token counts; ancillary model usage remains attributed. No new provider dispatch or public Compare regeneration is established by this record.

Next existing usage owner ingests request records with explicit window/coverage and task-attribution evidence, keeping shared context cost visible and unknown attribution null.

This is logical size in three directories, not full disk/NAS usage or causal attribution of disk pressure. Existing nx_jrnl_archive source has uncoordinated copy-then-truncate and overwrite-capable timestamp archive names; fsync results ignored. Existing nx_dr_archive caps source reads64MiB and can verify only that prefix. Existing retention policy is report-only and does not reclaim disk. Full source findings and dated official research retained in knowledge/gates/archive-source-audit-20260910-t132.json. No production archive, truncation or deletion executed. Repair existing owners; streaming immutable segments, checked durability, full restore verification and query continuity required before archival qualification. Compression alone does not bound retention; do not replicate full transcripts into accounting receipts.
2026-09-10 invest 2026-09-10 ROI direction: optimize accepted integrated capability per total root+worker investment, preserving or improving quality and delivery speed; spending more is acceptable for superior returns. Existing usage owner must separate request task/phase (implementation,research,review,retry,coordination,mixed-unknown) from input composition (new/repeated context,tool results,cached input) and output; overlapping categories never sum as disjoint spend. Rank native investment:1 artifact-backed compact tool results and reviewed-delta retrieval;2 scoped delegation packets with durable task state and recoverable workflows;3 measured prompt/retrieval/model-routing optimization. Full evidence remains retrievable; omitted failures, stale hashes, missing context and unknown coverage must fail acceptance. Research checked2026-09-10: RTK command-output reduction https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk ; Pi runtime/state/telemetry https://github.com/earendil-works/pi ; DSPy GEPA metric-guided instruction optimization https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/main/docs/docs/diving-deeper/gepa-in-depth.md ; Microsoft LLMLingua https://github.com/microsoft/LLMLingua plus independent2026 evaluation https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.02985 . These are candidates, not measured Nishi savings or adopted dependencies. Benchmark matched Beach/swarm tasks on acceptance,missed defects,rework,wall time,root+worker tokens and resource use; retain setup cost and uncertain counterfactual. Lossy compression needs stronger exact-detail tests. Subscription-only/no paid-overage unchanged. Nishi search exact query context engineering returned unrelated engine results at top; coverage incomplete, so external primary-source research used. Reuse current catalogue/collector/dispatcher owners; no duplicate service or automatic training authorization. Public Compare UI regeneration not verified by this log.
2026-09-10 invest 2026-09-10 EVIDENCE-PRESERVING CAPABILITY ROI: operator requires lower token burden while intelligence,effectiveness and capability grow; details that reveal subtle defects must remain discoverable. Extend existing XL2 investment domain rather than new overlapping board. Compare raw-evidence baseline against proposed compact/delta workflow using retained cases: garment kind8 family4/5/8/9 selection divergence; mismatched shader source/layout; native usage conflicting duplicates and unknown evidence; whole-event leakage through local accounting normalization; persistent-state corruption. Acceptance requires catching the relevant defect with source-backed explanation, retrieving exact omitted bytes by immutable identity, and preserving missing/truncated/error markers. Measure root+worker tokens,coordination,retries,wall time,accepted integration,missed defects and one-time capability build cost separately; count cross-project reuse without double-counting outcome value. No compression percentage or lower model cost overrides quality/time requirements. Summarization is a navigation aid, never proof that unread source was reviewed. Current research/implementation remains partial; no optimality or public board-render claim.

2026-09-10 measure Cross-estate capability ROI acceptance: compare matched-task baseline against all root, worker, review, retry and context effort; cached/new input/output remain orthogonal. Require quality, defect discovery, recovery and time-to-accepted-result gates. Exact raw evidence remains addressable with explicit omissions and uncertainty; missing usage is unknown. Conditional identity reader is first bounded intervention, not proof of preserved reasoning quality or ROI from smaller payload alone. Retained qualification compact-evidence-t77; private reader18/18 native, broader matched-task acceptance pending.

2026-09-10 measure Confirmed native syscall correctness gap found during evidence-preserving reader qualification: nx_x86_64_ctx.nx x86ctx_rv64_to_x86_64_syscall line2252 maps RV64 pipe2(59) to x86 pipe(22), dropping NONBLOCK/CLOEXEC flags.

Exact excerpt retained compact-evidence-t77/pipe2-emitted-mapping-refusal.txt. No compiler mutation; follow-up needs owning translation correction and real flags0/NONBLOCK/CLOEXEC, invalidflags, both-end F_GETFL/F_GETFD, and nonblocking-empty-read regression before compiler adoption. Current reader gate uses existing nx_fcntl_set_nonblock plus checked F_GETFL; this does not close pipe2 defect.

Position map — centrality and distinctiveness

The four-quadrant map the field uses for brand strategy (Dawar and Bagga, HBR June 2015), re-derived from this matrix on every publish. Centrality is the share of the category's feature mass a player covers, each feature weighted by how many hold it; distinctiveness is the average lead over each rival on the rows the player holds; breadth is the depth-weighted share of the whole matrix (the bubble); depth is how deeply the rows held are held; momentum is the day-over-day move off the spine (green rising, red falling, grey until day two); the dashed path runs first day → previous day → today. Dividers are the category means. Axes are fitted to the field of play, so read the tick numerals, not the frame. Rival marks are documented presence, so a rival's position reads the record, never its quality. The picture grades its own readability below; the table beside it is the same data for a screen reader or a second method.

Rows. 31 feature rows mapped of 31 matrix rows; 0 substrate rows (kernels, bounds and instruments the plan's rungrole marks substrate) are the estate's scaffolding, not category features, and stay off the map

How to read this evidence. A Nishi source mark records whether the named symbol is declared in the selected source file. It does not establish working behavior or accepted delivery. A watching tag names an expected source entry; discovering it updates source coverage only. A dark tag means the file exists but the named symbol was not found: inspect the source and contract before assuming the capability is missing or renaming code. Peer codes are authored assessments; unassessed means no comparison is established, not absence. Qualification, deployment identity, runtime observations and acceptance must carry their own evidence. Adoption records the catalog's observed path through source, build, promotion, registration and invocation; libraries use importer evidence and gates use declared execution surfaces. A full catalog path does not establish quality, freshness or a successful user outcome. Partial and unknown states retain their stated next action. Census stamps: importers asof 1790637268, gate census asof 1790104131 (unix seconds; -1 = census absent).

Rival-claim provenance. Every Yes, Best or Part mark in a rival column is a claim about someone else's product. A cited row carries a reference mark that resolves to a pinned mirror (the refs gate measures that); an uncited row is an observation read and is badged in its evidence until a reference lands. The badge is the receipt, never the proof: a mark proves a mirror exists, not that the mirror supports the code. The rows are counted below.

Phi4 https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.08905 credits data quality, curriculum and post-training with minimal architecture changes; task specialization need not remove general abilities.

Existing delegation owner must retain task class, account/model identity, measured provider categories, actual supervision where observable, accepted/reworked/rejected outcome, integration evidence and elapsed time; counterfactual avoided effort must be labeled estimated with its comparison method. Rank reusable task classes by accepted integrated work with quality and delivery-time gates. Subscription quota percentages are separate from token counts; ancillary model usage remains attributed. No new provider dispatch or public Compare regeneration is established by this record.

These are candidates, not measured Nishi savings or adopted dependencies. Benchmark matched Beach/swarm tasks on acceptance,missed defects,rework,wall time,root+worker tokens and resource use; retain setup cost and uncertain counterfactual. Lossy compression needs stronger exact-detail tests. Subscription-only/no paid-overage unchanged. Nishi search exact query context engineering returned unrelated engine results at top; coverage incomplete, so external primary-source research used.

2026-09-10XL2invest2026-09-10 EVIDENCE-PRESERVING CAPABILITY ROI: operator requires lower token burden while intelligence,effectiveness and capability grow; details that reveal subtle defects must remain discoverable. Extend existing XL2 investment domain rather than new overlapping board. Compare raw-evidence baseline against proposed compact/delta workflow using retained cases: garment kind8 family4/5/8/9 selection divergence; mismatched shader source/layout; native usage conflicting duplicates and unknown evidence; whole-event leakage through local accounting normalization; persistent-state corruption. Acceptance requires catching the relevant defect with source-backed explanation, retrieving exact omitted bytes by immutable identity, and preserving missing/truncated/error markers. Measure root+worker tokens,coordination,retries,wall time,accepted integration,missed defects and one-time capability build cost separately; count cross-project reuse without double-counting outcome value. No compression percentage or lower model cost overrides quality/time requirements. Summarization is a navigation aid, never proof that unread source was reviewed. Current research/implementation remains partial; no optimality or public board-render claim.

On these two registers. Rows are declared in the domain's plan file and carry the debt id, which is the join key back to the sovereign debt plane — that plane, not this page, is the authority on state. Reconciling them automatically (the regen reading the plane and refreshing these rows) is a named, owed rung; until it lands, treat an id here as a pointer to look up, not a status to trust.
Honest verdict. The Aug-2026 field, from the mirrored record: a free stealth model on OpenRouter is paid for with the prompts -- the Stealth Program EULA says the models are offered free of charge for purposes of collecting User Content for use in Stealth Model training and improvement and grants the anonymous provider an irrevocable, perpetual licence to that content [stealtheula], while the same model's page banner says prompts are retained and not used for training [oxalpha]; the contract binds, the banner does not. The gateway field (LiteLLM) solves routing, key management and spend logging across providers [litellm]; the egress field (LLM Guard) scans prompts for secrets and PII patterns [llmguard]; the grading field (openai-evals) grades model output with another model [openaievals]; the sampling result that makes a free worker worth having is that coverage climbs with samples when a verifier exists [llmonkeys], and the repository-level bar is SWE-bench [swebench]. What none of them has is a CLEARANCE: the estate already classifies every document U, C, S or TS with no-read-up and no-write-down, and already serves a public U index with a per-document consent bit, so the whole question of what may leave the estate is answered by construction -- a provider is a sink cleared to U, and the only bytes that may flow are bytes the anonymous public search already returns. The measured position: the sovereign TLS 1.3 transport, a JSON POST over it, the sealed vault with lease rotation, the clearance resolver, the public index, the provenance-pinned evidence register, the byte-exact judge and the forge's prompt and fence machinery are all present; the call organ, the egress classifier at the door, the terms ledger, the 429-aware scheduler, the public-only context pack, the external forge backend, best-of-N, the judge panel and the egress ledger are the named contracts. Subject measured 2026-08-24 on generic material only: stealth/ox-alpha answered tools, streaming and a 155k-token needle correctly, wrote wrong code at low effort and correct code at high, ignored JSON-schema enforcement, and refused about half of first attempts from its shared free pool -- so the worker is real and the scheduler is not optional.

Person · product · place — not yet measured for this domain

Every compare carries this layer. Declare knowledge/compare/extllm.ppp (rows surface|nishi or c1..c4|label|url|connect naming OUR live surface and each rival's front door), run nx_ppp_probe domain extllm, and this section fills itself on the next beat: the same ruler on both sides — privacy and CX (third-party hosts, tracker classes, cookies, security headers), design and longevity (design hygiene, computed WCAG contrast, render-blocking resources, unsized media, script weight, theme and motion queries), findability (landmarks, skip link, on-site search, breadcrumb, headings, internal links).

The field — discovered, not chosen

Rows written by nx_field_discover from extllm.seeds: the industry's own lists (Wikipedia wikitext, GitHub topics, awesome lists) read mechanically, every candidate counted across seeds. The matrix columns above are a SEAT'S pick; this band is the population they were picked from, and the stats line measures one against the other. A rival here is a lead, never a verdict — it earns a column when its capabilities are read and pinned.

Discovery receipt. One row per counter the run wrote, in the receipt's own order; the rival rows follow in their own table.

Exclusive and shared capabilities

One capability is graded on one board; every other board references it. The fleet duplicate census (nx_rivalcensus dupes, on the fleetdupes clock row) reads every board's matrix and names each capability graded as a row on two or more boards, with a home derived from evidence: rung when exactly one board's plan contracts the symbol (that board is starred), gates when no plan contracts it and exactly one board's executed gate map runs the organ's gate (that board is plussed), ambiguous when several boards carry the deciding evidence (a decision for their seats), and none when no evidence decides it, with the reason beside it: unmapped (no board of the duplicate declares a gates map; declare the maps) or unproven (a map exists and runs none of the organ's gates; gate the organ on its proving board, or declare it a shared library by policy). A home elsewhere means this board should carry an @xrow reference to the home board's row rather than a graded row of its own; a home here means the other boards should. The table is this board's slice of one estate-wide census: the shape is shared, the rows are the board's.

This board grades 31 capabilities: 18 exclusive to it and 13 shared with other boards. Shared rows on this page: 13 = home here 2 + home elsewhere 2 + ambiguous 5 + undecided 4 + refused 0 (partition 13); undecided = unmapped 1 + unproven 3 + unevidenced 0; homonyms 0; since the previous census: new 0, resolved 0.

Gaps from the record — what the estate does that no board carries

The record census (nx_goalmap record) reads the invoked-tool population and every plan queue row and files each organ or directive that NO matrix, plan or gates row names. A row here is a callout the boards missed: adjudicate it onto a board or declare it infrastructure. Census state STALE (age 1395959 s), sources read 4 of 7 declared — a BLIND census is a FLOOR: unread sources can only add rows.
