Labnote 012: localized panel frozen holdout
Question
Does the localized panel candidate that passed development cross-validation generalize to a separately frozen, balanced live Small-UI holdout?
Method
- Candidate: content-addressed localized model
- Holdout: 16 newly captured, structurally masked observations balanced across
- Labels: bound from operator-staged states before transfer; recognition did
- Holdout digest:
- Threshold: candidate's frozen 0.65 threshold.
- Training and calibration: disabled.
- Promotion gate, fixed before evaluation: at least 87.5% aggregate exact
- Accelerator: RTX 4070 through a non-preemptive accelerator lease.
- Internal execution record retained; identifier withheld.

accuracy, at least 75% exact accuracy in every state, and no class above a 12.5% aggregate false-call-plus-miss rate.
Result
| State | Exact accuracy |
|---|---|
| Inventory only | 0/4 (0%) |
| Hero + Inventory | 4/4 (100%) |
| Hero only | 4/4 (100%) |
| Closed | 4/4 (100%) |
Aggregate exact accuracy was 12/16 (75%). Hero was perfect with 8 true positives, 8 true negatives, no false positives, and no misses. Inventory had 4 true positives, 8 true negatives, no false positives, and 4 misses. Its 25% aggregate error rate exceeded the frozen 12.5% ceiling. The promotion gate failed.
The evaluator performed no training or calibration, emitted no sample-level predictions, completed on CUDA in 3.6 seconds with exit code 0 and no stderr, and released the accelerator lease normally.
Decision
Reject the candidate for live use. The holdout is spent and must not be used for threshold selection, region changes, training, or repeat evaluation.
The aggregate pattern suggests that Inventory evidence remains coupled to the panel arrangement seen when Hero is also open. Treat that as a direction for new development data, not as permission to inspect or fit this holdout. Collect new development-only Inventory observations with independently varied panel positions, environments, and combat conditions. Any successor architecture must pass a newly frozen development gate and a different fresh holdout.
