 | Oral-A A3 fails | 5 | Full ResNet-20 SDIL became nonfinite at epoch 89 and ended at 10%; DFA ended finite at 33.06% | Standard-scale and oral-A claims are closed; A4 remains untouched |
 | Oral-A-v2 causal capture fails | 5 | Structured perturbation improves early/all-layer alignment 6.5x/4.5x but misses the frozen early gate | Mechanism diagnosis sharpens; no full standard-scale endpoint opens |
 | Oral-A-v3 causal capture fails | 5 | Direct A/G perturbation lowers synthetic estimator variance but leaves real early alignment at 0.0071 | Coefficient regression is not the dominant early bottleneck; full scale remains closed |
+| Fixed hierarchical FA short gate fails | 5 | HFA reaches 43.52%, above DFA 37.16% and failed-v1 SDIL 41.98%, but below its frozen 50% full-run threshold | Spatial hierarchy helps; fixed random hierarchy remains insufficient and supplies no SDIL scale evidence |
 | Oral-A A4 | not opened | The prerequisite A3 gate failed | No oral-A confirmation claim is available |

 | 2026-07-22 / post-failure representation oracle | Current family has a 0.0240 cross-validated early-alignment ceiling on the fixed probe versus 0.0072 learned; unconstrained basis coefficients reach 0.0549 | 5 → 5 | Localizes both a causal-regression gap and an output-error-only capacity gap, but an oracle audit supplies no task-performance evidence |
 | 2026-07-22 / Oral-A-v3 V3-1 | Four clean frozen-forward records: vectorizer-space estimation raises all-layer alignment to 0.0626 but leaves early alignment at 0.0071 and fails three advancement checks | 5 → 5 | Exact lower-variance mechanics do not repair early credit; no full ResNet or confirmation evidence is opened |
 | 2026-07-22 / hierarchical oracle | Held-out gated 3x3 maps from exact child error fields reach 0.9998 early alignment; ordinary activation context remains 0.0321 | 5 → 5 | Strongly localizes the missing information to spatial hierarchical error fields, but exact-gradient oracle inputs provide no evidence that the proposed local learner can obtain them |
+| 2026-07-22 / fixed HFA S1 | Three clean matched ResNet-20 records; selected HFA reaches 43.52% and 0.0404 early alignment but misses the frozen 50% gate | 5 → 5 | Establishes a stronger zero-query local baseline and confirms hierarchy helps, while closing an uncalibrated full run and leaving standard SDIL evidence absent |
