Public terminal artifact / E029 Terminal aggregate

+7.08 pp local utility effect.

Exact-advice effect on 50-move-rule move utility for one Luna snapshot and one frozen synthetic five-piece population. Across 60/60 complete paired positions, the cohort completed 240 of 240 registered calls. No provider-missing calls.

Boundary. A local causal effect of displaying two unranked exact-policy moves on exact 50-move-rule move utility for this cohort; no full-game transfer, Elo, learning, vision, search, or general chess-strength claim. Qualification. confirmatory statistics implement prospectively registered rules, but the executable analyzer was completed after terminal data and was not hash-bound in the execution lock

A113.
Still secondary.

319/320 complete pairs; +11.60 pp paired survival difference.

Boundary. A local model-plus-harness puzzle result—not a broader publication claim, model-only capability claim, Elo estimate, or general transfer claim.

One snapshot.
Four labels.

Observed names the current ledger snapshot. Public terminal artifacts are terminal aggregates. Planned names registered targets. Gates keep claims bounded.

Observed / non-causal

A curve is a clue.
Not a cause.

The 220-game Luna curve describes 5 complete candidate conditions under a Black-only protocol against Stockfish 18 with UCI LimitStrength.

Protocol boundary. These are local protocol-specific measurements, not FIDE, online-platform, or general model ratings. Candidate conditions are complete agent protocols, not isolated estimates of base-model chess strength. Candidate sets are not guaranteed nested, so the curve does not estimate a causal candidate-count effect.
