Round 3 tested one hypothesis from round 2's data: levels the agent rated 3
carried 59% more 反差 than the rest, so select for it. With both rounds now at
~100 runs, the answer is in and it is no. The back band went from 2.39 ± 0.10 to
2.19 ± 0.08, roughly two standard errors apart, and the levels averaging 2.5 or
better fell from 11 to 6. Contrast is real and it does correlate with being
rated harder; selecting on it does not produce harder levels.
The low retest reliability does not rescue the change either — r = 0.55 limits
ranking one level against another, not the mean of eighteen levels measured a
hundred times.
So round 2's levels are the ones handed over, rebuilt from its runs via
round-set --emitCampaign. select-50 cannot reproduce them: the pool it drew
from has been rebuilt since, so the same flags now return different levels. The
runs are the record.
Rule bot on the shipped set: 50/50 cleared, dead taps 0.00, blind rotations
0.12, worst blind streak 1. 198 tests pass.
