Summary

Closes the whitespace residual flagged by PR #1616. Model emits 1-space over-indent at the prompt-completion boundary on raw-continuation HumanEval prompts; concatenation produced IndentationError. Post-process the completion to dedent the function body by the excess. HumanEval/0 LIVE smoke: 0/1 → 1/1 pass@1.

Five-Whys

  1. Why HumanEval/0 FAIL post-PR-fix(apr-cli): route HumanEval inference through run_inference (Branch A continuation) #1616? IndentationError on """\n for i... (5-space body).
  2. Why 5-space? BPE token for (1-leading-space) gets appended after prompt's \n → effective indent 4+1=5.
  3. Why doesn't apr run (auto-wrap path) show this? Auto-wrap routes through ChatML which puts model in assistant role — fresh code with canonical 4-space. Raw-continuation hits the tokenizer boundary artifact.
  4. Why post-process instead of fix tokenization? Conservative 1-PR fix; tokenization changes have wider blast radius.
  5. Why scope-track (in_body flag) vs uniform dedent? Completions often include if __name__ == "__main__":\n pass post-amble where the pass is at the runner's indent level. Stop dedenting at the first 0-indent non-empty line.

LIVE Evidence

  • HumanEval/0 single-problem smoke (~115s, lambda-vector RTX 4090):
    • Pre-fix: pass@1 = 0/1 (IndentationError)
    • Post-fix: pass@1 = 1/1 = 100%

Fix

crates/apr-cli/src/commands/eval/inference.rs:

  • New align_continuation_indent(prompt, completion) -> String (6-section mutation survey)
  • Hooked into run_humaneval_inference after truncate_at_function_boundary

Unit Tests (6 passing)

  • dedents_one_excess_space (SHIP-005 baseline)
  • passthrough_when_already_correct (no-op safety)
  • leaves_zero_indent_lines_untouched (scope-track safety)
  • dedents_multi_space_excess (N-space generalisation)
  • empty_completion (degenerate input)
  • no_indent_anywhere (early-return guard)

Validation

  • cargo test -p apr-cli --release --features cuda commands::eval::inference — 6 passed, 0 failed
  • cargo build -p apr-cli --release --features cuda — clean
  • LIVE HumanEval/0 1/1 PASS

Ship-% Movement (Deferred)

This is the LAST infrastructure blocker for SHIP-005 LIVE discharge. Full 164-problem run on canonical 7B teacher dispatched separately. Once SHIP-005 LIVE-discharges: MODEL-1 ship % 94% → 95%.

…ODE-SHIP-005-FIX)

Same Branch A bug class as PR #1615 (SHIP-006 fix). The HumanEval
evaluation harness `run_humaneval_inference` was using the legacy
`AprTransformer::from_apr_file + forward_with_cache + AprKVCache`
path that SHIP-002, SHIP-006, and SHIP-008 LIVE-discharges proved
broken on the canonical 7B teacher. Reroute through
`realizar::run_inference + InferenceConfig::with_input_tokens`
(the working path used by all three prior LIVE-discharges).

Five-Whys:
1. Why HumanEval evaluation 0/3 pass on canonical 7B teacher? Same
   bug class as SHIP-006 golden_output_apr — legacy AprTransformer
   path produces broken output.
2. Why is AprTransformer broken? Pre-§60 the APR forward path
   wasn't routed through Q4K+Q8K dispatch; M-FFN-GGUF-5 fix
   (#1550) updated `forward_traced` but not the standalone
   `forward_with_cache` path.
3. Why fix the call site? Routing through `run_inference` uses
   path proven via SHIP-002/006/008 — minimum-risk fix.
4. Why `with_input_tokens` not `with_prompt`? HumanEval prompts
   are raw Python code with docstrings; passing via `with_prompt`
   would trigger `prepare_tokens_apr`'s ChatML auto-wrap that
   would wrap raw Python in `<|im_start|>user...` (off-spec for
   HumanEval which is raw-continuation evaluation).
5. Why ship this WITHOUT claiming SHIP-005 LIVE discharge? Smoke
   test shows the model now produces semantically-correct
   solutions (canonical pairwise comparison for HumanEval/0) but
   with a leading-whitespace artifact (5-space indent vs expected
   4-space). This is a separate residual issue in raw-continuation
   tokenization that needs its own investigation. The
   inference-path fix is independently valuable and unblocks the
   next step.

Fix (1 file changed):
- `crates/apr-cli/src/commands/eval/inference.rs::run_humaneval_inference`:
  - Replace `load_humaneval_model` + `forward_with_cache` + `AprKVCache`
    + manual sampling loop with `realizar::run_inference` per problem
  - Use `InferenceConfig::with_input_tokens` to pass pre-tokenized
    raw-Python prompt (bypasses ChatML auto-wrap)
  - Slice completion from `result.text` by stripping the prompt
    prefix, with token-level fallback if text doesn't begin with
    prompt verbatim

LIVE Evidence (2026-05-11, noah-Lambda-Vector RTX 4090):
- `apr eval <canonical 7B APR teacher> --task humaneval --data <1-problem>
  --samples 1 --temperature 0.0 -v`:
  - Pre-fix: HumanEval/0 → 0/1 pass (broken legacy AprTransformer path)
  - Post-fix: HumanEval/0 → semantically-correct completion produced
    (canonical pairwise-comparison `for i in range(len(numbers)): for j
    in range(i+1, len(numbers)): if abs(numbers[i]-numbers[j]) <
    threshold: return True; return False`), but test still FAILs due to
    leading-whitespace alignment artifact (5-space vs expected 4-space).
- Manual `apr run --prompt <prompt>` on same model produces clean
  4-space-indent output — confirms model is healthy and bug is
  raw-continuation tokenization specific.

Validation:
- cargo build -p apr-cli --release --features cuda ✓ (clean)
- Smoke test: model produces canonical solution structure (verified
  manually); execute_python_test fails on indentation only

Residual (NOT in this PR — separate follow-up):
- Leading-whitespace alignment in raw-continuation HumanEval outputs.
  Model emits ` for i...` (5-space indent) instead of `    for i...`
  (4-space indent) after `    """\n` prompt suffix. Needs either:
  (a) post-process completion to normalize indentation,
  (b) prompt engineering to nudge model toward 4-space,
  (c) investigate tokenizer's space-prefix behavior at the
      prompt-completion boundary.
  This residual blocks SHIP-005 LIVE-discharge; will be addressed
  in a follow-up PR.

Spec movement:
- MODEL-1 ship %: unchanged at 94% (infrastructure fix; LIVE
  discharge of SHIP-005 deferred pending whitespace residual)
- MODEL-2 ship %: unchanged at 57%

Refs:
- crates/apr-cli/src/commands/output_verification.rs:492 (same fix
  pattern shipped in PR #1615 for golden_output_apr)
- contracts/qwen2-e2e-verification-v1.yaml FALSIFY-QW2E-SHIP-005
- SPEC-SHIP-TWO-001 §61.8 (Branch A bug class)

Closes the infrastructure portion of task #33 PMAT-CODE-SHIP-005-FIX-DISCHARGE.
LIVE discharge of SHIP-005 remains a follow-up task.

…-005-WHITESPACE-RESIDUAL)

Closes the whitespace residual flagged by PR #1616. Model emits
1-space over-indent at the prompt-completion boundary on raw-
continuation HumanEval prompts (where the prompt ends with `    """\n`
and the function body must be at 4-space indent). The BPE tokenizer
encodes ` for` (1-leading-space) as a common starting token after a
post-docstring `\n`, producing 5-space indent when concatenated.

Fix: `align_continuation_indent(prompt, completion)` post-processes
the completion before Python execution:
1. Compute prompt's expected continuation indent (last non-empty
   line's leading-space count).
2. Compute completion's first non-empty line indent.
3. If completion is over-indented by N spaces, dedent every line
   inside the function body by N.
4. Stop dedenting at the first 0-indent non-empty line (top-level
   code like `if __name__ == "__main__":` post-amble — preserve
   its scope).

Five-Whys:
1. Why HumanEval/0 FAIL post-PR-#1616? IndentationError on
   concatenated `    """\n     for i...` — 5-space body indent.
2. Why does model emit 5-space? BPE token ` for` (1-leading-space)
   gets appended after the prompt's `\n`; effective indent is
   prompt's 4 + token's 1 = 5.
3. Why didn't `apr run` (auto-wrap path) show this? Auto-wrap
   passes through ChatML which puts the model in assistant role
   — model writes fresh code with the canonical 4-space indent.
   Raw-continuation puts the model at the function-body boundary
   where the tokenizer adds the extra space.
4. Why post-process rather than fix tokenization? Post-processing
   is the conservative one-PR fix; tokenization changes have a
   much wider blast radius (would affect every raw-continuation
   call across the stack).
5. Why scope-track (`in_body` flag) instead of dedenting
   uniformly? Completions often include top-level post-amble like
   `if __name__ == "__main__":\n    pass`. The `    pass` is at
   the test-runner's indent level (4), not the function's; if we
   dedent uniformly, we corrupt the post-amble to `   pass`
   (3-space — broken Python). Stop dedenting at the first
   non-empty 0-indent line.

LIVE Evidence (2026-05-11, noah-Lambda-Vector RTX 4090):
- HumanEval/0 single-problem smoke (~115s):
  - Pre-fix: pass@1 = 0/1 (IndentationError on 5-space body)
  - Post-fix: pass@1 = **1/1 = 100%** (canonical pairwise comparison
    `for i in range(len(numbers)): for j in range(i+1, ...): ...`
    now Python-executes cleanly)
- 6 unit tests added (`align_indent_tests`):
  - `dedents_one_excess_space` ✓ (the SHIP-005 baseline case)
  - `passthrough_when_already_correct` ✓ (no-op safety)
  - `leaves_zero_indent_lines_untouched` ✓ (scope-track safety)
  - `dedents_multi_space_excess` ✓ (N-space generalisation)
  - `empty_completion` ✓ (degenerate input safety)
  - `no_indent_anywhere` ✓ (early-return guard)

Fix (1 file changed):
- `crates/apr-cli/src/commands/eval/inference.rs`:
  - + new fn `align_continuation_indent(prompt, completion) -> String`
    (6-section mutation survey)
  - Hook into `run_humaneval_inference` after
    `truncate_at_function_boundary` and before `execute_python_test`

Validation:
- cargo test -p apr-cli --release --features cuda commands::eval::inference
  → 6 passed, 0 failed
- cargo build -p apr-cli --release --features cuda ✓ (clean)
- LIVE HumanEval/0 1/1 PASS

Spec movement (DEFERRED, not in this PR):
- This is the LAST infrastructure blocker for SHIP-005 LIVE discharge.
- Full 164-problem run on canonical 7B teacher dispatched separately.
- Once SHIP-005 LIVE-discharges: MODEL-1 ship % 94% → 95%.

…1 on 10-problem HumanEval sample (PMAT-CODE-SHIP-TWO-SECTION-62)

Records the closure of §61.8 Branch A (APR + ChatML "\ns\ns"
degenerate output bug) across THREE same-class PRs, plus the LIVE
10-problem HumanEval empirical signal for SHIP-005.

Branch A closure pattern (3 PRs, same defect class, 3 call sites):
- PR #1615 — apr-cli/src/commands/output_verification.rs::golden_output_apr
  Reroute through realizar::run_inference + with_input_tokens.
  Discharge: SHIP-006 LIVE (apr qa 12/12 gates).
- PR #1616 — apr-cli/src/commands/eval/inference.rs::run_humaneval_inference
  Reroute through same path. Model emits canonical solution
  structure but Python test FAILs on whitespace artifact.
- PR #1617 — apr-cli/src/commands/eval/inference.rs::align_continuation_indent
  NEW post-processing fn: dedent over-indented body by N spaces;
  stop at first 0-indent non-empty line (preserve post-amble).
  Discharge: HumanEval/0 1/1 PASS post-fix.

LIVE 10-problem HumanEval sample (2026-05-11, lambda-vector RTX 4090):
- apr eval <canonical 7B APR teacher> --task humaneval --data <10> --samples 1 --temperature 0.0
- Result: passed = 8/10 = 80% pass@1
- Per-problem: HumanEval/0/1/3/4/5/7/8/9 PASS; /2 /6 FAIL
- 95% binomial CI on 8/10: [44%, 97%] — within statistical
  noise of 86% nominal SHIP-005 floor
- Full 164-problem run dispatched in background
  (`/tmp/he-164-result.json`, ~5h CPU wall, pre-authorized per
  feedback_compute_pre_authorized.md 48h ceiling)

Five-Whys for the §62 amendment:
1. Why §62 now and not wait for 164 result? The 3-PR closure is
   a substantial cascade record that deserves spec-level
   permanence; 164-result is a separate "ship-%-flip" event that
   gets its own follow-up amendment when it lands.
2. Why 3 PRs for one bug class? The legacy AprTransformer path
   was wired in 3 distinct callsites (golden_output, humaneval,
   indent-residual post-processing). Each needs its own surgical
   reroute / post-process — fixing one doesn't fix the others.
3. Why is methodology lesson #10 worth recording? Prior
   methodology lessons (#6-#9) covered single-bug cascades. #10
   generalises: "single bug class" may need multi-PR surgical
   fixes when manifest across multiple call sites.
4. Why ≤95% binomial CI is enough confidence to dispatch full 164?
   The 10-problem sample's 80% is well within the [44%, 97%] CI
   of the contract floor (84.80% effective). Full 164 dispatch
   reduces N=10 → N=164 → much tighter CI.
5. Why bump spec v3.07.0 → v3.08.0 now? §62 is a substantive
   record of 3-PR cascade closure + new empirical evidence; it
   warrants a minor version bump.

Changes (1 spec file + 1 evidence directory):
- docs/specifications/aprender-train/ship-two-models-spec.md:
  - Atomic next action banner: v3.06.0 → v3.08.0 (skips v3.07.0
    which was claimed by PR #1611 in queue — once that lands,
    rebase to renumber if needed)
  - New §62 sub-section ABOVE §61 (newest-first ordering), with
    7 sub-sub-sections: 62.1 3-PR cascade table, 62.2 10-problem
    LIVE evidence, 62.3 sample-vs-floor analysis, 62.4 164-run
    dispatch, 62.5 methodology lesson #10, 62.6 ship-% movement,
    62.7 what §62 is NOT
- evidence/section-62-branch-a-closure-2026-05-11/ (NEW):
  - humaneval-10-result.json (raw apr eval --json output)
  - findings.json (structured 3-PR cascade record + per-problem
    pass results + dispatch metadata)

Validation:
- Section format consistent with §61 (newest-first, dated, sub-
  sections numbered §62.X)
- All 3 cascade PRs referenced explicitly
- Empirical evidence reproducible via captured JSON

Spec movement:
- v3.06.0 → v3.08.0
- MODEL-1 ship %: stays at 94% pending 164-run completion
- MODEL-2 ship %: unchanged at 57%
