Removing the cue reconstructs tessera's `completion` column byte-for-byte. The two are therefore a clean A/B: any difference in downstream Reason is attributable to the cue and nothing else. ## Why the cue sits there The separator between the thought and the action at scoring time is hardcoded as `\n\n` inside the validator's `inject_prompt()`. `split_rollout()` strips trailing whitespace, so whatever a model emits, the parsed `z_A` ends at the cue and the teacher forces `THOUGHT: {z}…now:\n\n{y}`. Keeping the `\n\n` in the training target is the only construction where the string trained on is byte-identical to the string the teacher scores. ## Columns `prompt` (rendered with `Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B`'s chat template, ending inside an open ``), `completion`, plus `turn_id`, `traj_id`, `source`, `language`, `phase`, `stratum`, `n_prefix_chars`, `n_prefix_tokens`, `teacher_lift`, `modal_share`, `n_pool_refs`. TRL prompt-completion format; use with `SFTTrainer`. ## Known caveats - **33 rows** already exceeded the 1,792-token rollout budget (`max_thought_tokens + max_action_tokens`) in tessera; the cue adds 8 tokens and pushes **3** more over, for 36 of 18,138 (0.20%). Those targets are longer than a model can emit in one eval rollout. - The cue contributes the tokens `bash` / `command` / `run` to `z`, which tips the validator's fuzzy leakage heuristic on **14 rows** (0.08%) whose command literally invokes `bash` (e.g. `cd /app/... && bash setup_core.sh`). Those rows fail the teacher-side B licence at eval. Zero rows in tessera trip it. ## Provenance Derived from SN120's public duel artifacts and turn corpus. Built with `scripts/retarget_thought_suffix.py`, which re-parses every rewritten row with the validator's own `split_rollout()` and aborts on a single mismatch.
