+# WO24 — r8 verdict processing + the dose-response question
+
+In flight: r8b (QCRI 33% dose) and r8c (both) — dual-surface gates
+running; thai tiny3 resumed from student.pt (decode-only, ~20 min).
+
+WO17's r8a result reframes the arms: news-register silver MOVES OOD
+(-0.67 WER at a 2.7% dose) but costs ID (+0.62 DER). The remaining
+question is the DOSE-RESPONSE: if r8b/r8c also regress ID, the
+follow-up (r8d) is a gentle arm — silver capped at 5% of gold tokens,
+lr 3e-5, r7-init — targeting OOD improvement with ID held. Ship rule
+unchanged: dominance on BOTH surfaces or documented negative.
+
+Also pending: run-026 negative recorded (base stays shipped);
+thai tiny3 verdict → WO12 contract or closure.
