Status flips DRAFT → ACTIVE_ALGORITHM_LEVEL.

M32d numerical parity is functionally discharged on aprender main as of
PR #1228 squash 5235aae (2026-05-02 13:42 UTC). Output transition on
lambda-vector RTX 4090 against the cached 17.3 GB Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-
Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf:

  pre-fix         "%%%%%%%%"               (gibberish, repeated argmax)
  + Step 5        "Human: What is 2+"      (coherent English, partial)
  + Step 5b       "Human: What is 2+2?"    (full prompt reproduced)
  + Step 6        "2 + 2 = 4"              (correct answer)

Multi-domain dogfood (math/geography/translation/code) all correct.

Why ACTIVE_ALGORITHM_LEVEL not ACTIVE_RUNTIME
==============================================

Per the v1.3.0 (M32d.0) parity-strategy decision, full ACTIVE_RUNTIME
discharge requires:
  1. F-QW3-MOE-PARITY-001: cosine ≥ 0.99 vs HF FP16 reference logits
  2. F-QW3-MOE-PARITY-002: argmax matches llama.cpp top-1

#1 requires running scripts/generate_qwen3_moe_fp16_logits.py which is
operator-confirm pending (~60 GB HF download + ~30 min on 30B-A3B
multi-device offload).

ACTIVE_ALGORITHM_LEVEL is the right intermediate state: forward path is
functionally correct (verified by output quality across diverse
prompts), but the formal cosine-vs-HF gate hasn't fired yet.

Component priors verified empirically (M34 FAST PATH plan)
==========================================================

  rank-3 Q/K norm (15%)      FIXED #1228 Step 5
  rank-4 RoPE θ (10%)        FIXED #1228 Step 5b
  outside-priors             FIXED #1228 Step 6 (chat template wrapping)

The diagnostic surface from PRs #1222 (Step 2) + #1226 (Step 2.5) +
#1401 (Step 2 JSON wire) named rank-3 directly via the 40× std-growth
signature without needing the HF FP16 fixture. Step 1 of the original
plan was bypassed.

M34 FAST PATH cost
==================

  Outcome          PRs     Wall-clock
  ACTUAL           5       ~6 hours
  Lucky estimate   4-6     2-3 days
  Realistic        8-10    4-6 days
  Pessimistic      12-15   1-2 weeks

Came in at the lucky-case bound.
