What each learning stage did
| Stage | Outcome | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| KPI settlement | learned | 4 club totals scored stage by stage; layer moved toward the result on 3 of 4. |
| Hitter matchup calibration | learned | New per-metric scales for SO 0.45, BB 0.25, HR 1.75. Next slate's player effects read them. |
| KPI model refit | changed | New model 20261005T125039Z_f5114dc0. |
| KPI model rollback | nothing to learn | Kept 20261005T125039Z_f5114dc0: 4 settled club totals of its own, needs 30. |
| Bullpen usage model | nothing to learn | 4 club-games settled, recall 0.93. Refit: challenger did not beat the current model. |
| Luna KPI review | blocked | Luna was not asked (skipped no pregame evidence): 3176 rows were local replays and none were verified pregame forecasts. |
| Luna KPI promotion | nothing to learn | 10 candidates in shadow; none has enough prospective evidence yet (see below). |
| KPI winner-flip gate | nothing to learn | 0/0 qualified flips over 0 slates; needs 30 flips over 10 slates with an interval above 0.5 |
| Matchup Luna policy | nothing to learn | Settlement: complete; 0 prospective games over 0 dates; decision pending. |
| Adaptive parameter proposal (Luna) | nothing to learn | candidate_registered: |
| Auto-apply | nothing to learn | no_promotable_candidate |
| Code agent | nothing to learn | disabled_by_config: code changes are made on the development host, never in the container. |

Luna KPI candidates and their promotion gate
Promotion needs 400+ prospective rows over 5+ slates after the proposal, with a gain interval above zero. Only verified pregame forecasts count; local replays never do.

## 1. Evidence receipt and gaps All **7 `source_manifest` entries** are marked loaded: - **prediction review** — 19,282 bytes; official outcomes and scoring errors. - **forensic deep audit** — 45,953 bytes; probability, provenance, starter, and decision contracts. - **continuous learning** — 280,749 bytes; pipeline-stage quality, calibration, probability lineage, score distribution, and starter comparisons. - **detailed report** — 57,951 bytes; game and simulation rendering. - **ultra detailed player audit** — 3,503,264 bytes; player-level prediction trace. - **structural audit** — 240,335 bytes; invariant findings. - **integrity revision audit** — 824,693 bytes; structural audits of seven post-start game revisions. The diagnosis says **2 expected, 2 reviewed, and 2 structurally audited games**; it also reports 2 continuous-learning games and starter comparisons for both. The coverage matrix is complete on those counts. The per-game audits both pass, and the revision audit is reported as loaded. No source-manifest entry is marked missing. Important limitations and inconsistencies in the supplied evidence: - There are only **two settled games** on this slate. Calibration and game-level conclusions are correspondingly fragile, even though some findings have separately escalated across slates. - No source-labelled moneyline is available for the market cross-check. The market is also null in both game decision internals. - The diagnosis provides selected player-level lines a
