N'Ko Unified Plan — 2026-04-25

This is the current operating plan for the N'Ko lane after consolidating the website work, the same-snapshot Paper 4 matrix, the MAOE replay layer, the partial-real Gemma correction lane, the live ASR service, and the OCR expansion queue. The key correction is simple. The local partial-real Gemma correction adapter reached step 80 mechanically, but it failed behaviorally. The corrected validation check shows the base model outperforming the adapter by a wide margin, and the adapter emits repeated pad tokens on a one-sample probe. That means the step-80 adapter is a dead branch. It is not a checkpoint to continue from, and it is not a candidate for proposal evaluation. The highest-priority scientific dependency is still the final same-snapshot run: - do not interfere while the run is healthy - once it completes, immediately run closeout - collect: - `results.json` - `test_predictions.jsonl` - `test_references.jsonl` - final checkpoint metadata - the same-snapshot five-run matrix becomes complete - the paper claims can stop speaking in provisional language about TTT
