# Results-to-claim audit report (WP31, 2026-10-30)

• scripts/verify_manuscript_claims.py: AUDIT PASS — 25 registered claims; every artefact path exists; every run id has a manifest (states completed, or stopped-run-used for the two deliberately stopped runs cited as failures); every numeric macro used in the manuscript is generated by scripts/make_tables.py; no promotional phrase; no placeholder section.
• Tests: python -m pytest tests -q → 23 passed (15 mandated invariants, controller target-freedom with and without the residual/entropy features, dense-write ablation, 5 cache-equivalence tests).
• Manuscript: paper/main.pdf, 48 pages, latexmk with 0 undefined references/citations (one harmless font-shape warning).
• Pre-registration: protocol/preregistration.md frozen v1.0 at 2026-10-30T04:04-0400; protocol/locked_test_manifest.json unsealed at the same time; test splits were read only afterwards (synthetic test regimes: 5 nodes; FineWeb test: 4 systems).
• Deviations: protocol/deviations.md (bootstrap init/scale, controller features, label stream, dense 103M infeasible, backbone budget 98.3M instead of 196.6M tokens).
• Not executed: Phase 11 (MLX port), Phase 12 training (459M/1.18B only instantiated on meta), GSM8K/EvalPlus, quantisation, distillation, joint fine-tuning (one degraded attempt), dense editor at 103M (collapsed twice), MLX/Metal profiling.
• Checksums of the key artefacts: reproducibility/checksums.sha256.
