05 · Slice proposal

Six small cards, ordered to learn before deciding.

Build the estimator and evidence adapter, then forecast, shadow-test, expose the card, and only later let the signal influence admission. Publish aggregate numbers last.

BLOCKED — OPERATOR GO REQUIRED. These are proposed inputs and outputs, not active cards. The parallel Studio start/end-capture card is an external dependency and is not re-authorised here.

Card-sized proposals

Identifiers are planning labels, not allocated tracker IDs. Every implementation row stays blocked until the operator explicitly authorises it.

Suggested sequence after GO

PHASE 1

Calibrate

Design TE-F1 and the Studio adapter contract together. Keep probes and storage on the Studio side.

PHASE 2

Forecast

Implement TE-F2 against deterministic fixtures and explicit uncalibrated outcomes.

PHASE 3

Shadow

Replay history and observe future tasks without changing routing. Establish error and coverage.

PHASE 4

Expose advisory evidence

Show the UI and attach an audit signal to AGT-2055. Any admission influence is a separate later card and operator authorization.

Evidence gate before admission

Do not invent numeric pass thresholds in the plan. Use the first shadow distribution to choose and freeze them, then test those frozen thresholds on a later untouched temporal hold-out—the threshold-design report cannot also be the pass.

Shadow report must show

  • Temporal hold-out percentage-point MAE and signed bias
  • Empirical coverage of the advertised 80% prediction range
  • Scoring on later clean, eligible meter-delta intervals—not beta × realizedTokens
  • A direct empirical cap-delta baseline on those same held-out pairs
  • Breakdown by plan/model/thinking/task type
  • Terminal-outcome mix and quota-truncated/still-running censoring rate
  • Sparse/uncalibrated rate and error outside calibrated support
  • Parser, overlap, reset, rolling-expiry, and stale exclusions

Decision review must show

  • Examples where the upper range would change launch/wait
  • False-wait vs quota-wall trade-off
  • Interaction with weekly windows and SuggestModel
  • Stable audit reason codes
  • Explicit operator enable decision
Until this gate passes: the metric is advisory. It cannot launch, downshift, throttle, wait, or otherwise change AGT-2055 behavior.

Any future admission-enforcement change remains outside AGT-F3 and requires its own explicit operator authorization.

Dependencies that GO does not erase

Parallel Studio work

Calibration-grade quota capture

Cached boundary events now exist, but they must be upgraded or supplemented with fresh raw, same-run, same-window observations plus a documented settle policy. This plan consumes that completed contract.

Operator policy

First TokenEconomy NuGet publish

Studio package consumption remains blocked until the operator completes the one-time publishing step—even if implementation work receives GO.
