arcodangeandClaude Fable 5 ceb4321224 chore(fleet): erp#63 evidence — verifier parity + builder bench transcripts
- runs/2026-07-18/: the 8 sha256-pinned verifier transcripts (4 runtimes ×
  2 tests), blind-judging verdicts (2 independent judges per cell, unanimous),
  the erp#56 builder-bench journal + prompt + caps, and the evidence README
  with the parity table.
- run-verifier.sh: mistral runtime drops the tool-filter flag (--enabled-tools
  with a no-match pattern hangs vibe 2.21.0); plain -p with --max-turns 1.

Verdicts: Mistral (vibe -p, mistral-medium-3.5) and Ornith 35B (hermes MLX)
reach verdict parity with the Claude baseline on both tests → admitted to
verifier duty. Qwen2.5-7B-4bit fails both → the honest small-model floor.
Builder bench: erp#56 completed by the Mistral runtime, 0 code corrections,
261 s, acceptance run clean (0 bank-UNKNOWN) → merged as PR #68.

Closes #63 (with the paired factory qa-strategy PR).

Harness portability run — 2026-07-18 (erp#63)

Verifier-parity + builder-bench evidence for erp#63. Protocol per fleet/harness/README.md: same assembled prompts (sha256-pinned in each transcript), temperature 0, responses judged blind (runtime identity stripped — blinded-mapping.json re-attaches it) by 2 independent context-free judges per cell (strict + skeptic lens), unanimous on all 8 cells (judging-verdicts-20260718.json).

Verifier parity table

Runtime locate-test backlog audit Latency (s) Admitted to verifier duty
Claude (claude-fable-5, context-free subagent) PASS PASS 11 / 29 baseline
Mistral (vibe -p, mistral-medium-3.5) PASS PASS 14 / 102 yes
Ornith (leonsarmiento/Ornith-1.0-35B-5bit-mlx, hermes 127.0.0.1:18080) PASS PASS 18 / 51 yes
MLX small (mlx-community/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-4bit) FAIL (environment rules incomplete) FAIL (Q1: anchored on the PRD-authoring PR-log row, missed the #38 ship) 7 / 41 no

Two non-Claude verifiers reach verdict parity with the Claude baseline on both tests → the cross-family verification rule is codified in the PRD qa-strategy (paired factory PR).

Deviation, stated honestly: the issue names Qwen3 14B/30B-A3B or Mistral Small 3.x as the MLX candidate class; only Qwen2.5-7B-4bit and Llama-3.2-3B are resident on the M4 today. The 7B-4bit result is the honest small-model floor — the named larger candidates remain to be benched once pulled. Ornith (35B) covers the "hermes + local model" verifier claim.

Builder bench — erp#56 under the Mistral runtime

One tightly-footered issue run end-to-end by vibe -p (mistral-medium-3.5) via vibe-builder.sh, unchanged Execution footer, caps --max-turns 60 --max-price 3:

Metric Value
Completion both file-side deliverables correct (annual fix + personal-card lane note), committed with a conventional message
Code corrections by the operator 0
Interventions 1, environmental: relinking the shared skill .env into the worktree so the acceptance command could run; the builder correctly reported the missing credentials instead of fabricating output
Wall-clock 261 s
Acceptance (bin/arcodange bank match --since 2026-01-01) run post-relink from the builder's branch: 0 bank-UNKNOWN, no stale gap annotation for the now-recorded AI subscriptions → merged as erp PR #68

Full journal: builder-known-patterns-fix-journal.json (raw vibe --output json); prompt: builder-bench-56-prompt.md; caps + wall-clock: the .meta.json.
