+### RESULT 33 (2026-07-16): TRIPLE VERDICT — centered CE-neutral at 72M too; CE-vs-beta monotone through 1e-2; the RIDE GOVERNOR beats every static beta.
+1. 72M A/B (resume fw72m_cent s175000 -> 185000, single-GPU B24, identical schedule):
+ plain 3.4288 vs centered 3.4289 — IDENTICAL. The 42M decoupling replicates at crown scale:
+ the recipe does not need centered. plain + governor = 1.0x cost at 72M.
+2. Static beta dose-response (plain, 42M tail): 2e-3 1.2611 / 3e-3 1.2590 / 5e-3 1.2578 /
+ 1e-2 1.2571; centered@1e-2 1.2569 (neutral again). CE STILL IMPROVING at 1e-2 — no bias bite
+ anywhere in the explored range; the 42M window extends beyond 1e-2.
+3. arm_ride30 (two-sided governor, 30x headroom): best 1.2562 — BEATS every static arm. The
+ governor surfed dynamically: 3e-3 -> ~6e-2 excursions mid-tail -> taper to ~7e-4 at the end,
+ ZERO guard events, cos 0.992 held. It discovered a dynamic beta schedule no hand-tuning found
+ (high-beta bulk + late taper aligned with the cosine-LR endgame).
+- RECIPE CONSEQUENCE: estimator upgrades (centered/centfast/centmirror) demote to cos-telemetry
+ tools and insurance; the working recipe trends to PLAIN single-sided + ride governor = 1.0x
+ estimator cost. 8B ledger returns to the 3.2x base.
+- Full-epoch validations in flight: stage1b_plain3e3 (46k, tracking cent-full within 0.004),
+ stage1b_est15 (26k), stage1b_ride (LAUNCHED, GPU3 — the recipe candidate).
+
### RESULT 32 (2026-07-16): CROWN RESEALED — fw72m_cent 3.3318 vs BP 3.2884: honest gap 0.043, 10x below the blown-schedule number.
fw72m_cent complete: 234k steps / 1.44B FineWeb tokens, from scratch, fully BP-free, DDP 2xA6000.
