Which DAWM Phase 7 regressions are architectural rather than tuning noise?

Hypothesis

The recurring regressions likely come from state-abstraction pressure, not a single optimiser or dataset setting.

Evidence

  • Phase 6/7/8 diagnosis logs
  • Ablation windows
  • Negative transfer runs

Experiments

  • Phase-local rollback matrix
  • Representation bottleneck probe
  • Short-horizon control eval

Results so far

Regression clusters are stable across two unrelated parameter sweeps.

Current belief

Preserve the Phase 6 baselines as a control while Phase 7 is re-cut around smaller state transitions.
