 Naming: `casc_*` runs, wandb project **ept-cascade**. Gates report mean over ≥4 batches.
 In-flight single-block arms (rescv2, govfloor, fastfull/fastpair, gov_s11-14) continue untouched —
 they carry the dynamics paper + the two-stage-recipe science; D1 takes over the DEMO role only.

+### RESULT 3 (2026-07-10 03:03): K4 DEPTH-PARITY SEALED (EP-favorable) + full-epoch launched.
+- **beta-floor 3e-4 EP 3-seed: 1.9005 / 1.9125 / 1.8591 = MEAN 1.8907** vs BP 1.9169/1.9194/1.9214
+  (1.9192). **EP <= BP at L12xC512 (real GPT-small shape)** -- all 3 EP seeds below the best BP seed,
+  cos pinned 1.0000 throughout, zero skips. The L12 depth-tax is FULLY removed by the beta-floor; K4
+  closes EP-favorable. (Un-floored control was 2.00 + unstable/non-reproducible -- see RESULT 2.)
+- Headline now: "standard L12 transformer, no backprop, equilibrium-EP with beta-floor = BP quality
+  (slightly better) at matched tuning, real GPT-small shape."
+- **FULL-EPOCH run LAUNCHED (user directive, auto-launched on verdict):** epoch_ep_bf3e4 -- 58,800
+  steps = 1 epoch over TinyStories-BPE (361M tokens), beta_floor 3e-4 + --cosine (new flag), warmup
+  500, save_every 5000. Running 2.376 it/s solo on GPU1 -> ~6.9 h. This is the "neng kan" generation
+  demo (task #15). BP twin epoch DEFERRED (no free GPU; parity already sealed so it is nice-to-have).
+- Next: generation samples at checkpoints; BP-twin epoch when a GPU frees; then scale-up corpus
+  decision (FineWeb-Edu vs OLMo2/Dolma) for the larger model.
