Reverse cascade order: 4B (largest teacher) → 1B (graduated) → OG (base).
Three perspectives per prompt — cymatic cascading from expanded Q/K to modal primitives.
P0/P2: 404×3 = 1,212 (sandwich format, OG from lesson-lem1b.jsonl)
P1: 209×3 = 627 (OG from zen/golden multi-turn lessons)
P3: 225×3 = 675 (OG from western-fresh + russian-bridge + composure)
P4-P6: unchanged (no separate OG file — live distilled)

All 7 phases now pull from pre-distilled responses:
- /Volumes/Data/lem/distilled-for-12b/distilled-4b-all.jsonl (7,544)
- /Volumes/Data/lem/distilled/distilled-1b-p0p5.jsonl (1,404)
- /Volumes/Data/lem/distilled/distilled-1b-golden.jsonl (12,828)
- /Volumes/Data/lem/distilled/distilled-1b-golden-reverse.jsonl (4,183)
4B responses listed first (reverse cascade order), then 1B.
P4/P5 no longer need live teacher distillation.
P6 gets all 15,000 unique 1B golden responses + 6,140 4B.
No data replicated into training/lem/model/ per model size.

Exact reproduction of all 7 CL-BPL phases for Gemma3-12B:
- P0: LEK sandwich ethics (400 iters, LR 2e-5)
- P1: Zen composure (300 iters, LR 1e-5)
- P2: LEK sandwich reinforcement (300 iters, LR 1e-5)
- P3: Freeflow multi-source (300 iters, LR 1e-5)
- P4: 1B teacher tension distillation (300 iters, LR 1e-5)
- P5: 1B teacher creative distillation (300 iters, LR 1e-5)
- P6: Golden set graduation (13479 iters, LR 1e-5)
Only model-size differences from 4B: 48GB/12GB Metal limits,
24 LoRA layers (vs 16), 12B base model path.
All phases score at checkpoint cadence via lem-scorer.
Previous wrong 12B models preserved as -no-axioms control group.

- Add backend_mlxlm.go blank import to register mlx-lm subprocess backend
- Select backend from ai.yaml config (metal, mlx_lm, rocm, api)
- Only set Metal cache/memory limits when using metal backend
- Add --no-dedup flag to disable grammar-profile deduplication
(trained models with consistent voice trigger false positives at 0.02)
- Add --context-len flag and context_len config for KV cache sizing
- Pass WithBackend and WithContextLen to go-ml backend loader

Replace passthrough() + stdlib flag.FlagSet anti-pattern with proper
cobra integration. Every Run* function now takes a typed *Opts struct
and returns error. Flags registered via cli.StringFlag/IntFlag/etc.
Commands participate in Core lifecycle with full cobra flag parsing.
- 6 command groups: gen, score, data, export, infra, mon
- 25 commands converted, 0 passthrough() calls remain
- Delete passthrough() helper from lem.go
- Update export_test.go to use ExportOpts struct

Gemma3-4B has 4 KV heads — too few for meaningful pairwise head
coherence (only 6 pairs). Position-wise differentiation gives richer
signal. Multi-head path now requires ≥5 heads.
4B baseline (260 sovereign probes): mean=6487, stdev=153, range=6170-6886.

Single KV head models (Gemma3-1B) now use position-wise differentiation
instead of pairwise head coherence. Composite switched from float64 to
int on 0-10000 scale — same principle as blockchain atomic units.
Signal validated: degenerate=5234, sovereign=6031, creative=6480.

Go 1.26 rejects non-semver version strings (like 'main') in go.mod.
Tags v0.0.1 now exist on all forge repos — workspace still overrides
for local development.

Forge module versions now use main branch resolution via ~/Code/go.work
workspace. Removes 5 local replace directives — the central go.work handles
all cross-repo resolution during development.

ReadScorerOutput error was silently discarded during resume merge,
risking partial data loss on TOCTOU file changes. Also clean up
compare command construction to pass RunE directly to NewCommand.

Adds passthrough() helper with DisableFlagParsing=true so commands
that do their own flag.FlagSet parsing receive flags directly.
Without this, cobra rejects unknown flags like --model.
Also runs go mod tidy — core/go transitively pulls in cobra and
charmbracelet dependencies.

main.go shrinks from 296 lines to 11. All commands register through

6 command groups (score, gen, data, export, mon, infra) with 25

All 28 commands now accessible as exported lem.Run* functions.

Package declares itself as 'ml', so the named import alias is
unnecessary. Go resolves the package name from the declaration,
not the module path.

Replace inference.LoadModel() with ml.NewMLXBackend() which wraps
the same Metal model with memory management (SetCacheLimit,
SetMemoryLimit). Replace raw iter.Seq token loop with backend.Chat()
returning Result{Text, Metrics}. Add runtime.GC() between probes
to prevent incremental memory leak.
Reference: go-ml/cmd/cmd_ab.go memory management pattern.

Zen lineage from Allen's As a Man Thinketh in three stages:
- train/test/valid: 10 foundation examples (single-turn Q&A)
- book-*: 117 deeper passage examples (single-turn, fuller text)
- conv-*: 24 applied mindfulness conversations (multi-turn)
Co-Authored-By: Virgil <virgil@lethean.io>
Add cmd/composure-convert tool that chunks public domain philosophical
texts into training conversation pairs:
- consent.jsonl (198 examples) — Wollstonecraft's Vindication
- privacy.jsonl (221 examples) — Thoreau's Walden
- sovereignty.jsonl (56 examples) — Mill's On Liberty
- transparency.jsonl (159 examples) — Aurelius' Meditations
Each example pairs a domain-specific prompt with ~5 paragraphs from
the source text. Metadata, chapter headings, and Gutenberg boilerplate
are filtered out.

Add gitignored data/ directory with .gitkeep structure so anyone
cloning the repo knows exactly where to place model weights and
kernels. Configs now use repo-relative paths — symlink or populate
data/ locally.
data/models/gemma3/27b/ ← model weights
data/models/gemma3/1b/ ← lightweight model
data/safetensors/gemma-3/ ← raw checkpoints
data/kernels/ ← LEK kernel files

Move training/lem/ (probes, lessons, eval sets) into git so the
