① WIN full replay — C3, 52 rounds
WINWalks the seven level-ladder transitions in round order. Each level block first shows its level_segments round range, click count, and sleep count, then pastes — verbatim — the HYPOTHESIS, THINK, WHY, EXPECT, and ACTION of the turn that opened the level (representative_clear_turns).
A sleep pass is a background reflection/bookkeeping event that summarizes rounds already counted (e.g. L2 covers rounds 9–12) — it is not an extra round, so it does not add to the total rounds (52) above.
② Ideal trace, annotated — why round 8–13 is the model turn
Re-reads the same L2 (rounds 8–13) through a “why is this the model turn” lens. The pattern is observe (0 clicks) → lock (a corrected hypothesis) → dense execute (the 6-click cap) — then mop up only what was verified. Exactly one REFUTED entry across these six rounds (r12 — “after these, the level should clear” refuted by NOT_FINISHED); the other five passed with none (checked against the verbatim HYPOTHESIS LEDGER: level_2_reasoning_log.md, sleep pass 0).
r8 execute (rules carried from the previous level; no clear) → r9–r10 observe (two consecutive 0-click rounds) → r11 lock+execute (cap of 6) → r12–r13 mop-up (3, then 1 click) → clear. The two pure observation rounds were decisive: nothing was clicked during them, yet in r11 all six capped clicks matched EXPECT.
③ WIN vs STUCK — the same level 2, two outcomes
Puts side by side what C3 (WIN) and h9 (0716; peaked at L2, never cleared it) went through on the exact same engine level index 2. C3 passed in 6 rounds with a single REFUTED entry (r12 — only one premature clear prediction refuted); h9 spent 11 of its 22-round run there (r12–r22), collected 6 REFUTED entries, and still never got past it.
h9’s “9 rounds, 8 framing switches” refers to the span closed off by sleep-pass boundaries in level_2_reasoning_log.md (r13–r21: nine structurally distinct HYPOTHESES with eight switches between them). The “n=11” in clicks.png above is a wider tally that also includes the entry round (r12) and the final probe round where the log cuts off (r22) — both numbers are measured from the same run and each reports its own tally boundary as-is (this repo’s standing practice, cf. the sleeprate.png footnote in experiments.html).
④ This week's unabridged turns
The rest of this week’s (2026-07-16–17) uncut turns from the measured logs — the five h9/h10 turns (L0 clear → briefing carry-over → GAME_OVER → RESET recovery → demotion) and the verbatim skills.json records — live in the existing trace.html. This page (traces.html) does not replace it; it adds the C3 WIN side (win_c3.json).
