CB-WP-0050	product	Every configuration, faceted by aspect	done	7d92daec-eb6a-4647-a1dc-5d374fdc9f0d

Purpose

structural tier  S   (a new panel; no rule, no state, no artifact
                      contract moved)
declared tier    S

CB-RES-0010 §5.4: "hold all aspects fixed, vary one." The selector (CB-WP-0048) made configurations selectable and the policies (CB-WP-0049) made them judgeable. This measures them.

Task: sweep the points, and say what could not be measured

id: CB-WP-0050-T01

Controls:

• one module at a time first, every other aspect held at its default, so a row measures a module rather than a bundle;
• profiles after, where an interaction is the hypothesis — and a single-module profile is skipped, because it is the row above;
• nothing is omitted: a module with no kernel path prints as such;
• a module that never acted is reported UNMEASURED, by name.

What it found

1. attack_relief.self_soothe_ge4 has never fired. Not once.

Zero ATTACKs in every cell, at every seat band, under both bots. The module acts only on an uncancelled ATTACK by a seat at Stress ≥ 4, and GreedyPolicy ranks Ground at 100 when the gate bites against Attack's 10 — so at exactly the position where self-soothe would pay, GROUND wins. ModuleAwarePolicy adds 55 and that is still not enough.

Filed as F31, unplayed. This also reaches backwards: CB-EV-0030's H1 verdict rests on its flat-pressure half alone, since H1's other half never had an opportunity in any of those games either.

2. problem_stress.scoped is the only module with a measured effect. 3p group success 85 → 60 (greedy) and 86 → 63 (module-aware); peak Stress 2 → 4. problem_stress.flat_any_open drives group success to 0 at every seat band, which is the H1 rejection reproduced from the module side rather than the package side.

3. scoped_plus_attack_soothe is exactly problem_stress.scoped. Identical in every cell — necessarily, given (1). The first intentional multi-aspect combination in the catalog cannot currently be evaluated as a combination, and the panel says so on its own row rather than letting the equality read as "no interaction".

The defect the panel had, on its first run

It printed 85 / 86 for attack_relief.self_soothe_ge4 — real-looking numbers that invite the reading "measured, no effect", when the truth is that no seat ever created the precondition. Its own docstring said it would not do this, which is the same shape as CB-WP-0046's wrong reason for an open item: the claim was written before the behaviour was.

Two iterations to get the reporting honest:

• first, whole rows marked never fired — unmeasured — which threw away a real result, because h1's flat-pressure half fires in every game and drives group success to 0;
• then, the specific module named, with the row's numbers kept: 0 0 4 0 0 ← attack_relief.self_soothe_ge4 never fired: UNMEASURED.

The numbers in such a row are real for the modules that did fire. Saying which one did not is what stops the row being read as a verdict on all of them.

Task: F31's falsifier

id: CB-WP-0050-T02
status: done
priority: high

GateAttackPolicy ranks ATTACK above GROUND at the stress gate and delegates everything else. A probe, not a better bot — its win rate is not a recommendation, and the panel's banner says so, because a column that looks like a policy comparison will be read as one.

Controls:

• it actually attacks, and at the gate — asserted on real games, not on the ranking: a rank of 110 proves an intention where the panel needs an occurrence;
• blind (ADR-0023);
• the probe's row decides "never fired", not the others — a module is unreachable only if the seat built to reach it could not reach it either.

Done 2026-08-08. F31 answered, in two parts.

(a) The module is unreachable in the printed game. Selected alone it still never fires: peak Stress never exceeds 2, so the gate never bites and no ATTACK is ever gated. A module can be unreachable because of an aspect it does not name — attack_relief needs a problem_stress module before it can act at all, and nothing in its own declaration says so.

(b) Once reachable it is real. Holding the probe fixed and varying only the module: group wins +9 / +9 / +7 at 3/4/6p, and DARVO arming down by a quarter to a half.

Stated as the conditional it is: given seats that attack at the gate. The probe wins 12/100 where greedy wins 60/100 under the same module, so this is not advice to attack and not evidence against F17.

And it changes what we told ground-game about H1. CB-EV-0030 rejected H1 with policies that never attacked, so H1-B was inert for every game behind that verdict. The rejection stands on flat pressure alone — wins are 0 either way — but "H1-B does nothing" was never established and is now known to be false.

Not done here

• The panel measures SHARED GROUND only. Mode × module is a three-dimensional sweep and nothing yet says the modules behave the same under the competitive modes — where, per CB-EV-0033, who wins moves even when group success does not.
• ground-game has not been told about F31. Reported 2026-08-09 as GROUND-RPT-0007, as a correction to GROUND-RPT-0004.
• The scope term is inert at round-one positions (CB-WP-0049 T04), so problem_stress.scoped's measured effect is driven by later rounds. The panel does not report per-round effect, and that is where the module actually lives.
