Review Residuals --- training and evaluation for the paper
"An Update-Conditioned Residual Gate Whose Advantage Emerges at Scale" (Kramer, 2026).
Trains, from scratch on TinyStories, three identity-preserving (additive) residual variants:
- review_neutral : update scaled by a gate conditioned on BOTH state and proposed update (ours)
- highway : update scaled by a gate conditioned on the state only (param-matched up)
- standard : plain residual, update added with coefficient 1 (param-matched up)
across five model sizes (60M-1B). Resumable; writes per-run validation losses to scaling_v8.csv.
Requires a CUDA GPU (80GB for the 590M/1B sizes). See README.md to reproduce.

# Review Residuals scaling sweep — RESILIENT, RESUMABLE, disconnect-proof.
# Run on the pod: nohup python run_scaling.py > scaling.log 2>&1 &
# Watch progress: tail -f scaling.log
# It resumes automatically: any run already in scaling_partial.csv is skipped.
# Each run is launched in its OWN subprocess, so even a hard crash on one model
# only loses that one model — the sweep keeps going.
