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.

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.
