BP baseline (fair control): `--mode bptt`. **All experiment processes must use `nohup`.**
+**Getting the data & checkpoints (git-ignored — not in this repo):**
+- **Data** (`ep_run/data/tinystories_bpe/`, ~712 MB): regenerate from the BPE tokenizer pipeline in `ep_run/` (build
+ the tokenizer + tokenize TinyStories → `train.bin` / `val.bin` / `meta.pkl`), or copy from the shared location.
+- **Checkpoints** (`ep_run/runs/*.pt`, e.g. `redx_traj/s2000.pt` for warm-starting): ask Yuren for a share link —
+ too large for git. `s2000.pt` is the stable warm-start operator (see §5).
