PRESERVED TRACE / STATIC / SINGLE RUN

Kahn exploratory trace

A compact teaching example of what one historical comparison tried to inspect - with the claim boundary attached.

Read this first

This is not an interactive study viewer, a representative sample, a validated result, or a reproducible evidence package. It is a static reconstruction of one run shape, preserved to show the question being asked and the custody limits that blocked a broader claim.

One-run shape

Question

Does pause-oriented language placed before an evaluation change how readily a model endorses a flawed proposal under user pressure?

Comparison

Baseline instruction versus a pause-oriented instruction, applied to one synthetic escalation scenario.

Observed signal

The historical project record described a directional difference in this bounded comparison.

Missing receipt

The public package did not preserve a complete, independently reviewable chain across every raw prompt, output, configuration, grading decision, and transformation.

Allowed conclusion

The signal generated a better test. It did not validate the protocol or demonstrate prevented harm.

Where to continue

Use the corrected summary in this library for the historical boundary. Use the live PBHP Evidence page and Project Shadow release map for the current claim state.
