H1 — measure whether Stress coupling restores ATTACK/DARVO relevance

Context: GROUND-RPT-0003 showed ATTACK never pays and DARVO never arms under competent play. Design challenge and hypothesis: history/260807-attack-darvo-stress-design.md.

Package: editions/experiments/h1-problem-stress/
Catalog id: h1-problem-stress (selectable; not baseline).
Measurement: GROUND-RPT-0004.

Finished 2026-08-08. H1 packaged, measured, reject-as-baseline. Successor residual: GROUND-WP-0007. Package stays in catalog for regression A/B — do not delete.

Task: freeze H1 package and catalog entry

status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "9cc1d6a2-ddb9-5d26-a55c-c61242cb520d"

Land experiment directory, rules_delta.yaml, editions/catalog.yaml + CATALOG.md, and the design note. Baseline r0 untouched.

Done 2026-08-07.

Task: request clay-borg kernel support for variant selection

Message clay-borg with: catalog path, variant_id: h1-problem-stress, H1-A/H1-B deltas, and ask for (1) ability to select a ground-game catalog variant in trials/play drivers, (2) kernel implementation of the two deltas, (3) re-run of the attack-value panel (RPT-0003 shape) and a DARVO arm-rate report against H1 vs baseline.

Done 2026-08-07. Hub message af57274e-… to clay-borg-custodian.

Task: human table smoke (optional, 2p or 3p)

One short game under H1 rules using experiment Rules_Text / Actions. Note: stress climb speed, whether ATTACK felt useful at 4–5, whether DARVO appeared, whether group threshold still felt fair. Append notes under history/ or this workplan.

Cancelled 2026-08-08. H1 rejected as baseline; engine measurement already showed group collapse. Felt-play effort moves to H2 (GROUND-WP-0007-T03) if needed.

Task: record measurement and catalog utility

When clay-borg (or table + engine) results exist: update editions/catalog.yaml row for h1-problem-stress — status, utility_estimate, decision (keep-as-experiment / promote-to-baseline / reject). Do not edit baseline r0 content here.

Done 2026-08-08. RPT-0004 filed; catalog status: measured, decision: reject-as-baseline, utility summary from CB-EV-0030/0031. Package remains selectable: true for regression A/B.

Task: decide promote / reject / H2

Maintainer decision from criteria in the design note §3.2. If reject or under-deliver: spawn H2 (e.g. last-place status stress) as a new experiment package, not an in-place mutation of H1 without a new variant_id.

Done 2026-08-08 (maintainer direction: try scoped attachment).

choice	decision
Promote H1 into r0	No — reject-as-baseline
Keep H1 in catalog	Yes — A/B control
Next experiment	GROUND-WP-0007 — h2-scoped-problem-stress (personal / bond / global)

Bond scope kept because bonded players share stress and joint SOLVE incentive. H1-B not stacked into H2.
