AVA v3 — Training Checkpoints (work in progress)

Donor baseline (C1, the bar every checkpoint is gated against)

Repo layout

• reports/c1_donor_baseline.json — immutable baseline (per-task results)
• reports/probes/ — mid-training probe evals (matched-subset deltas)
• checkpoints/C5/ — live training state: adapters + optimizer + RNG + data cursor; LATEST.json pointer written last (atomic resume)
• wheels/ — cached causal-conv1d builds per platform tag
• archive/ — forensic notes on reset runs

Status

• C1 donor baseline: done
• C5 SFT: run 2 in progress (run 1 reset after a data-cursor bug was caught by probe evals — see archive/)
• Gate: candidate must stay within 2pp of donor code scores and above the sanity floors, evaluated by the same harness that set the baseline
