 ## Task contract and budgets
 
+Use `quality_loop.mode: repair_only` to audit and repair task quality without
+optimizing candidates, promoting baselines or claiming a speedup. That mode has
+zero optimization iterations. Normal `optimize` mode retains exactly one.
+`max_repair_attempts` defaults to 1 and permits 1--3 attempts. Every attempt needs
+a changed, previously unseen proposal; unchanged validator reruns cannot erase
+an existing finding. All proposals and rejected evidence remain in the artifacts.
+
+WARN-only findings remain recorded by default. `repair_warnings` can explicitly
+select validator check names to repair, for example:
+
+```yaml
+quality_loop:
+  mode: repair_only
+  max_repair_attempts: 2
+  repair_warnings: [correctness_implementation_review, benchmark_integrity]
+```
+
+Repairs preserve the original TaskSpec, all existing case identities/checks and
+captured timing/sample/cache policy. Additional correctness-only cases are
+allowed; changing scored workloads requires a separate reviewed migration.
+An independent repair reviewer compares the source with the original package,
+checks reference/tolerance/input-generation semantics not captured by those
+deterministic checks, and must close every retained finding. A new validator PASS
+alone cannot authorize weakening a task. GPU validation and the read-only review
+both precede acceptance or publication of repaired files.

 Tasks use the common [v2 task contract](../../docs/how-to/add-task.md).
 Discovery preserves the full path below `tasks/` as the stable ID, including when
 copying a task to a scratch directory. Nested dependency configs are not separate

+Distinguish source-established possibilities from executed diagnostics. For a
+diagnostic, retain its command, actual terminal exit and observed result in the

+Check one complete logical invocation before repeated calls can repair an output.
+Canonical TimedRun.single_invocation(before_replay=poison) supplies a fresh
+one-call graph for each unscored audit (one original callable invocation for
+explicit Event timing). The callback receives the fresh graph's actual output
+buffers after capture, before replay; poisoning only the older scored buffer
+does not poison a newly allocated audit output. Check the first changed-input
+call before grouped replay can refresh stale intermediates, and inspect at
+least two poisoned single-call outputs as well as the actual scored graph.
+These supplemental checks do not replace measured-output/replay validation.
+An already single-call scored graph with independently changed inputs and
+numerically checked outputs for every sample provides equivalent or stronger
+logical-call evidence. Verify that captured policy and those actual checks;
+do not demand redundant fresh captures solely because the helper name differs.
+For explicit Event timing with one call per sample, checking only the last
+output does not establish correctness of earlier calls contributing to the
+score. Inspect the task's per-sample observer or equivalent bound evidence;
+numerical checks must stay outside the start/end Event interval.
+Uniform rescaling can preserve quantized codes or an incorrect formula. Use
+task-valid non-proportional operand changes and relevant numerical boundaries
+(for example nonzero means or finite values that overflow lower-precision
+intermediates) to discriminate a specific claimed omission. These are unscored
+controls, never a change to the original precision, tolerances or timing policy.
+Expected values, semantic dtype/routing settings and numerical policy must be
+bound independently of editable candidate state before invoking the candidate.
+Normal low-precision variation remains part of the task-specific numerical rule;
+use discriminating valid inputs and wrong-result controls rather than imposing a
+universal tighter tolerance or assuming every upstream option is required.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+
+## Additional correctness controls
+
+Unscored exact-graph replay changes slot mappings and introduces nonzero untouched cache state. The protected reference follows the changed mapping and checks every cache slot; all inputs and cache state are restored outside timing.

+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 The task bundles the attributed legacy buffer/vector API adapters in

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 and the task's bundled `kernels/` helpers remain available under the existing
 numerical and timing contract. Baseline checks retain their declared initial
 backend; the final candidate must use FlyDSL.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+
+## Additional correctness controls
+
+The scored cases remain FP8. Additional unscored GPU controls exercise the advertised FP16 and BF16 input branches against logical-operand references; input packing remains protected evaluator preparation.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+
+## Additional correctness controls
+
+Unscored controls poison all outputs before isolated logical invocations and before at least two independently captured one-call graph audits. Each output is checked immediately, so repeated partial writes cannot accumulate into a correct final buffer. The original scored timing and sample counts remain unchanged.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+Every scored Event sample is checked against its independent expected output
+after end-event synchronization, outside the measured interval. The reported
+checked-sample count must equal the original sample count for both roles. These
+checks can affect between-sample cache cadence; compare only freshly qualified
+baseline and candidate results using this same source and validation policy.

+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 If correctness fails during the performance action's precheck, no performance

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+## Numerically faithful provided baseline
+
+The native one-launch baseline failed the unchanged 0.035 normalized max-error
+gate on valid changed-weight inputs. The provided baseline is now a protected
+task-local GPU implementation in `task_baseline.py`: per-row FP8
+quantization with round-to-nearest-even, stage-1 gate/up GEMMs with FP32
+accumulation, router weights applied to both projections, a BF16 intermediate,
+and the down GEMM followed by the top-k sum. `model.py` remains the independent
+PyTorch oracle; its arithmetic and the numerical gate are unchanged.
+
+Every invocation quantizes the current raw operands and recomputes current
+routing. There is no shape/seed shortcut, cached quantized weight, stored answer
+or imported reference computation. GPU preparation and scratch/output allocation
+remain inside the timed callable for both roles; router selection and oracle work
+remain outside. This changes the provided implementation and baseline identity.
+Remeasure both baseline and candidate; do not compare historical scores or claim
+an optimization from this correctness repair. The new multi-launch implementation
+has different preparation/storage costs from the former fused native kernel.
+
+`baseline.source_files` declares both `model.py` and `task_baseline.py` so the
+compile action syntax-checks the actual provided implementation. Both files and
+the calling harness are frozen; candidate import closure rejects `task_baseline`
+as a protected dependency before candidate code runs.

-Correctness compares the (b)-faithful PyTorch reference in model.py against the
-real AMD runtime op (``aiter.fused_moe_bf16_asm.asm_moe_tkw1`` ->
-``fused_moe`` per_Token, doweight_stage1) over byte-identical FP8 weight codes
-(``aiter.pertoken_quant``) plus the host-side weight shuffle the kernel needs.
-
-Tolerance note (FP8 hardware-accumulation floor, NOT a silent loosening):
-This op is gated on the normalized worst-element error ``max|ref-gt| / max|ref|``.
-Unlike the bf16 / 128x128-blockscale MoE tasks (which meet <= 1e-2), this op
-quantizes BOTH operands of each GEMM to FP8 per-token (a single scale per full
-contraction row), so the deployed kernel's FP8 MFMA accumulation order — over
-dequant operands that are byte-identical to the reference — leaves an
-irreducible per-element gap a pure-torch fp32 reference cannot reproduce. Measured
-on gfx950 over the three shapes below: worst-element norm 0.0237-0.0283, while the
-aggregate cosine error ``1 - cos(ref, gt)`` is ~2.7e-4 (~40x under upstream's own
-0.01 fail threshold; upstream test_moe_tkw1 gates this op at rtol=0.01/atol=100).
-The gate is therefore set to the tightest honest worst-element bound ``TOL`` that
-clears the measured floor with a small margin; the cosine diagnostic is printed
-for transparency. Do not widen ``TOL`` further to force a kernel pass.
+Correctness compares the independent PyTorch reference in model.py against the
+protected provided implementation. The original native one-launch comparison
+and its failing qualification are historical evidence, not a numerical waiver.
+
+The original normalized max-error gate TOL=0.035 is retained. It is not an
+irreducible FP8 accuracy limit. The former native one-launch baseline exceeded
+that bound on valid changed-weight inputs. The protected provided baseline now
+performs explicit FP8 per-row quantization, FP32-accumulated gate/up products,
+a BF16 stage-1 intermediate, and a BF16-by-FP8 down product. model.py remains the
+independent pure-PyTorch oracle. Both paths use the same raw values, rounding
+contract and routing semantics; no reference or tolerance is relaxed.

+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,

+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 Candidate-only auditing requires actual FlyDSL computation, with host allocation,

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 Candidate-only auditing requires actual FlyDSL computation, with host allocation,
 layout/casts and launch preparation allowed. Baseline library dispatch and final
 candidate are checked separately; a starter is not a final implementation.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+Every scored Event sample is checked against its independent expected output
+after end-event synchronization, outside the measured interval. The reported
+checked-sample count must equal the original sample count for both roles. These
+checks can affect between-sample cache cadence; compare only freshly qualified
+baseline and candidate results using this same source and validation policy.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+Every scored Event sample is checked against its independent expected output
+after end-event synchronization, outside the measured interval. The reported
+checked-sample count must equal the original sample count for both roles. These
+checks can affect between-sample cache cadence; compare only freshly qualified
+baseline and candidate results using this same source and validation policy.

 Candidate-only auditing requires actual FlyDSL computation, with host allocation,
 layout/casts and launch preparation allowed. Baseline library dispatch and final
 candidate are checked separately; a starter is not a final implementation.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 Candidate-only auditing requires actual FlyDSL computation, with host allocation,
 layout/casts and launch preparation allowed. Baseline library dispatch and final
 candidate are checked separately; a starter is not a final implementation.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+Every scored Event sample is checked against its independent expected output
+after end-event synchronization, outside the measured interval. The reported
+checked-sample count must equal the original sample count for both roles. These
+checks can affect between-sample cache cadence; compare only freshly qualified
+baseline and candidate results using this same source and validation policy.

 Candidate-only auditing requires actual FlyDSL computation, with host allocation,
 layout/casts and launch preparation allowed. Baseline library dispatch and final
 candidate are checked separately; a starter is not a final implementation.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 launches by the reference or baseline cannot satisfy it.
 The audit wraps candidate import/correctness only, leaving baseline/reference
 execution and the original device-timing callable unchanged.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+
+## Additional correctness controls
+
+Additional unscored GPU controls exercise non-power-of-two K values divisible by 32 and caller-provided scale storage. They check full numerical outputs, storage population and read-only input preservation without adding scored cases.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+
+## Additional correctness controls
+
+Dynamic FP32 scales use a separate relative numerical gate (`atol=1e-7`, `rtol=1e-4`); quantized-code tolerances remain unchanged. An unscored signed INT8 control distinguishes absolute-maximum scaling from positive-only maximum scaling.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 The original10external warmups,100samples, seed42+i, kernel config and allocation

 auditing is separate from oracle computation and runs outside timing.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+## Initial baseline numerical implementation
+
+The baseline uses a two-component MXFP4 expansion for the rotated Q/K operands.
+Each component has E2M1 values and E8M0 scales. Four feature contractions compute
+`(Q0 + Q1) @ (K0 + K1).T`, retaining the first quantization residual instead of
+changing the reference or the numerical gates. Conversion uses nearest-even
+rounding and a shared scale derived from the block maximum. Zero V blocks avoid
+0/0 during FP8 conversion. External shapes, BF16 I/O, seeds, selected flags and
+both numerical acceptance rules are unchanged. This increases internal work and
+storage, so it defines a new baseline identity requiring fresh measurements of
+both roles; old measurements cannot establish a speedup against this baseline.
+The declared wrapper remains the task interface. Internal quantized Q/K feature
+widths include the residual expansion and need not equal the external head size.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 Final candidate operator calls are audited for FlyDSL computation, independently
 of baseline/oracle calls and outside timing; alternative operator backends and
 protected task references remain forbidden.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 FlyDSL launch. `torch._scaled_mm`, the materialized timing helper and other
 protected modules are rejected statically. Baseline and reference calls keep
 their original policy, and device timing settings are unchanged.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+
+## Additional correctness controls
+
+Additional unscored GPU controls exercise signed INT8 inputs and bias with independent FP32 dequantization references. Candidate launch auditing does not advance the deterministic scored operand-preparation stream.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 Capture failure cannot bypass validation. Only final candidate calls are audited
 for FlyDSL compute and protected/backend dependencies; the original Triton source
 and its frozen baseline remain unchanged.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

 backend; the final candidate must use FlyDSL.
+
+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
+
+
+## Additional correctness controls
+
+In addition to the original elementwise comparison, output probabilities must be nonnegative, have row mass within 0.01 of one, and differ from the reference by at most 0.01 row L1 error. These checks remain discriminating for wide rows. Unscored peaked-input graph replays and a column-strided input control supplement the unchanged scored cases.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.

+## Protected evaluator state
+
+Declared editable candidate sources may import new task-local Python helper
+modules or packages. Those helpers are part of the candidate implementation:
+before candidate import, dependency review follows the normal task-local import
+closure and applies the same restrictions to every helper. Protected harness,
+reference and script imports, symlinked or escaping helper imports, and local
+modules that shadow the supported runtime libraries are rejected; installed
+library source is not traversed. Final FlyDSL candidate sources and their local
+helpers also may not reach the evaluator's module registry, stack frames or
+profiling controls through `sys`, including `os.sys`, aliases and dynamic
+attribute lookup. Ordinary `sys` metadata remains available.
+
+Candidate sources may not import the materialized timing helper `_aka_benchmark`,
+assign or delete attributes of imported modules, read frame or function globals,
+or disable the evaluator's PyTorch dispatch mode. When the local import closure
+is resolved, a same-name `.py` module takes precedence over a namespace-package
+directory, matching Python. These structural checks are not a security sandbox.
