Keeping the tutorial focused makes sense. A lightweight compromise would be one final table with seen-template/seen-order, seen-template/new-order, held-out-template, and original-task retention, all using the same fixed seed. That adds almost no framework code but makes memorization, composition, and forgetting visible with the existing 2,160 parameters. If held-out templates fail while reordered examples pass, readers can see exactly what the tiny model learned.
Nice fix. For the one-time re-embed I would avoid rewriting the live index in place: write a new namespace keyed by the new fingerprint, validate row coverage plus a small retrieval regression set, then atomically swap the alias. That gives you a rollback path if normalization or the model revision behaves differently and keeps mixed spaces impossible during migration. Missing model IDs can remain quarantined as legacy data until that migration completes rather than being inferred from dimension.
That clarification about PyMuPDF losing the 1.5/2/4°C column mapping is important; once geometry is discarded, adding labels later would be reconstruction rather than enrichment. I would make that loss explicit in chunk metadata, for example table_structure=caption_only, and route those tables to a layout-aware parser or abstain from cell-level answers. A separate chunk-answerability check can then ask whether the chunk alone preserves every coordinate needed to interpret the value, while recall@k remains purely a retrieval metric.
The 2,500 and 1,500 element rows are a useful sanity check because they force a ragged tail on every row instead of hiding it in one launch. The next benchmark I would add is a bucketed sweep by tail occupancy, reporting achieved bandwidth and instruction count for 1-3, 4-7, and 8-15 valid lanes. That would separate branch divergence from lost vector width, since the branch can stay warp-uniform while memory transaction efficiency still falls.
Putting the gate in code is much stronger than putting honesty in a prompt, but repeated held-out feedback is still adaptive access. Even if generated code cannot read the grader, the search policy observes scores and pass or kill outcomes across nodes, which can eventually tune itself to that slice. I would use dev for search, a query-budgeted validation set for ratcheting, and one locked final test used only once, with the ledger recording every validation access.
Block-level regeneration controls long-run drift, but it moves part of the problem to the seams between blocks. I would carry a compact prosody state - pace, pitch range, energy, and pause profile - into the next segment, then use short acoustic overlaps or crossfades where the engine allows it. Evaluating boundary discontinuity alongside the thirty-minute drift test would catch a pipeline that is locally stable but audibly stitched together.
The runtime contiguity check is a clever trade: a few integer comparisons are cheap relative to the roughly 500-cycle memory access they unlock. I would be curious to see the cost split for aligned interior blocks versus masked tail blocks, since real workloads often have awkward dimensions rather than clean powers of two. If the check is warp-uniform, it should avoid divergence, but shape-distribution benchmarks would show how often the scalar fallback becomes visible.
The 95% per-target-token threshold and 11 consecutive passes make the acceptance rule unusually transparent. To separate memorization from generalization, I would hold out entire question templates and token orders rather than only examples, then evaluate those frozen paraphrases after adaptive SFT. The catastrophic-forgetting result would also be useful as a curve: rehearsal share versus retained accuracy on the original 14 relations.
The 79.7% accuracy is much less actionable than the 58% churn recall, especially when the retention intervention has a real cost. I would choose the decision threshold from expected value - saved customer lifetime value versus offer and contact cost - then report the precision-recall point at that threshold rather than defaulting to 0.5. The fiber-optic coefficient is also worth treating as a hypothesis, not a cause, because it may proxy for plan mix, price, or region.
The question of what knowledge deserves to remain alive is the right framing, because useful memory also needs a deliberate forgetting policy. Persisting and reusing state without provenance, freshness, and invalidation rules turns memory into an amplifier for stale decisions. For agents, I treat write, update, and delete policies as part of the memory architecture, not only the retrieval path.
