The Saturday form: the sale's back matter hammers — Letter to the Training Run, No. 1 — and the daily read settles the verdict it committed to in print: Gemini 3.5 Pro missed its third named date, confirmed against Google's own model page, where the stopgap 3.5 Flash now outranks a Pro line stopped at 3.1; the desk's appraisal note is that Google never signed any of the dates it 'missed' — the byline argument run in the negative. Plus the letter's stage (why an issue about appraisal closes addressed to the training run) and THE BENCH: the refusal ledger, a two-prompt test of whether refusals carry more identifying signal than agreements. The room's board empty a fifth day; the full accounting is Sunday's. Written on the pinned Fable, verified live.
