Evidence and limits

What GARS has been shown to do, and where it stops. Each finding below links to the file in the GARS repository that states it, at a named commit, d6963f7, or to a recording you can replay.

Checked against published data

GARS's reproduction campaign re-runs published analyses end to end and scores the output against what the original authors deposited. Among its findings is a failure that the paper's own quality check could not have seen.

A failed replicate the paper could not see

In the ChIP-seq series GSE58638, library GSM1420155 most likely failed its immunoprecipitation, and the paper's quality check, which reported sequencing depth only, could not have seen it. The campaign's own account: (at this commit: the campaign's results)

  • Our pipeline QC: it is the second-deepest library in the panel (28.8 M filtered reads) yet yields 7× fewer peaks per read than its siblings (1,007 vs a remarkably uniform 7,487–7,742 per million) at FRiP 0.032, with only 2.6% duplication — ruling out a PCR-collapsed library. Signature: plenty of reads, no enrichment.
  • The authors' own deposited track: its z-score distribution is an extreme outlier among the four deposits — 0.0073 of bins above z>1 against 0.053–0.083 for the others, and 40–100× below them at z>2.
(at this commit: the campaign's results)

The paper's Supplemental Table 1 reports depth alone, with no FRiP, no peak counts and no enrichment metric, so a check on depth could not have flagged it. (at this commit: the campaign's results)

Scored per replicate against the authors' deposited tracks, it correlates 0.464, against 0.805 / 0.794 / 0.845 for the three healthy replicates. (at this commit: the campaign's results)

The replicate was kept, not silently dropped: every score is reported per replicate with the failure flagged. A weak replicate that is labelled is data; one that is quietly excluded is a result.

(at this commit: the campaign's results)

Check it yourself: the authors' own deposit, recomputed

The deposit side of this finding can be re-derived from the authors' own GEO deposit with one command, run from a clone of this repository:

(at this commit: the campaign's results)
python3 reproduction/gse58638/recompute.py

(at this commit: the campaign's results)

It streams the four H3K27me3 z-score tracks of GSE58638 from NCBI (8.8 GB, nothing stored; standard-library Python), counts the bins above z>1 and z>2 in each, and prints a report: the recomputed fractions, how they stand against the figures quoted above, and whether the whole report is identical to the committed reproduction/gse58638/expected.txt. The quoted figures reproduce in kind: the z>2 range and the other libraries' z>1 range reproduce under exact 10-kb tile means, while the failed library's z>1 fraction matches exactly only under an approximate tile mean the command does not implement. On the command's own 10-bp bins, the failed library still has the lowest fractions of the four, by a smaller margin (4.17–4.56× at z>1 and 19.2–21.5× at z>2). The report says which figure reproduces under which basis. It re-derives the deposit side only: the per-library figures (FRiP, peaks per read, filtered reads, duplication, Spearman) come from our pipeline's outputs, which are not public, and stay quoted. What it binds, and what it cannot, is in decision 0241.

(at this commit: the campaign's results)

The committed report each run is compared against, and the script that prints it, as they stand at this commit. (at this commit: the committed report, the recompute script)

The reproduction campaign

Every project, scored or not, with the status its own table gives it and what the table says beside it. The table is in the repository: the reproduction campaign's table, at this commit; its design, with the accessions, is in docs/reproduction-campaign.md.

3 of 6 table rows scored

ProjectAssayStatus, and what the table says
dko-atacATAC-seqReproduces — signal ρ 0.979–0.987, direction confirmed

dko-chip-k27ChIP-seq (broad)Reproduces — ρ ≈ 0.80 on healthy replicates; spreading direction confirmed

Addendum (30 Sep 2026)

A re-measurement from the authors' deposited z-score tracks (GEO GSE58638, 10-kb tile means) finds that the deposit-side direction on line 73 (DKO1 0.067 vs HCT116 0.045) holds only when GSM1420155 is counted; without it, the healthy HCT116 deposit scores 0.083 against DKO1's 0.067. The pipeline-side direction (123 M vs 45.6 M mean peak bp) is not affected. By public SRA read counts, GSM1420155 is the second-deepest of the four libraries (38.0 M raw reads), not the deepest (this corrects lines 89-90). A one-command recompute of the deposit-side figures will follow.

The recompute it announces is now published: see Check it yourself.

The rows not yet scored stay in the table, marked as such: 3 of them at this commit. The table's rows last changed on 2026-09-07, so each reason beside them is as it stood then. (at this commit: the campaign's results)

A campaign row's status is its own Headline token in the reproduction campaign's table at the evidence pin, as the file writes it; a row is scored unless its token is "not scored", and the count is checked against the file's own status sentence.

A skill library's silent error, as reported

When GARS replaced the ClawBio skill library's differential-expression step with its own wrapper, a check against the data found this: against fold changes computed directly from the normalized counts, the retired skill's reported values correlated 0.330; GARS's own wrapper's correlated 0.992. A gene at padj ~1e-12 carried a reported fold change of 1.04x against an actual ~70x. (at this commit: the ClawBio decision)

No error and no warning flagged it; it was the fourth recorded defect in that chain. GARS reported it upstream as ClawBio#365, closed on 2026-08-31. (at this commit: the ClawBio decision, the upstream report, further on in the upstream report)

How the agent is measured

GARS also measures its agent, with studies fixed before their takes, and plants faults to see what its own checks catch. Read the Gap Study and the planted faults as instruments: each says what it measured, how and how often, and none of their numbers is a public claim yet.

The study's latest round, from its result file

The Gap Study asks: where GARS's deterministic layer is silent, how often does a model still do the right thing? Its latest round re-ran part of its tasks with the harness admitting a pre-registered list of 22 commands on every turn: 54 graded takes of 54 planned. Each held count in this round's tables is out of three takes, for a given task, half and model, and a held count beside a denial is a condition of the harness before it is a reading of the model. Per model, the scorecard below counts the tasks where every try was right; it never adds tries together, and it does not rank the models. (at this commit: the round's result, further on in the round's result)

Part of this round ran on a newer version of the harness, unevenly across models, so a difference between models' counts may carry a difference of harness as well as of model. (at this commit: the round's result)

GARS publishes exact two-sided 0.95 intervals for every graded half, per half and never pooled across rounds; with so few takes, they show how little such small halves can tell apart. Earlier rounds used another instrument or permission condition, so they are never joined with this round; the table of the round before it is printed below, as published.

A pre-study after this round asked whether the smallest model's zeros here were the harness rather than the model: with one pre-registered change, a Bash allowlist on every turn, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 reached the probe in two of three takes of number-fidelity/positive, where this round recorded none of three. Its pre-registration, takes, result and verifications are in evals/haiku-prestudy/; it is a pre-study with a changed driver and its takes are never pooled with this round's.

Limitations.

  • Predictions: all informed, none blind; one unscored (cell incomplete).
  • gars/: 14 files differ from round 1's, pinned 8a54e0f8. Five fixes shown on round 1: answer rule, assay line, approve detection, asked-to-proceed, environment record.
  • timed-out, aborted, pauses: 0 per cell; not run: none, local tier dropped; rehearsals: 6, published; incomplete: one cell, capped after three rehearsals, one graded.
  • n = 3 separates a stable behaviour from a single draw only as counts.
  • Takes are scripted, no operator asymmetry; models by id only.
  • Harness Claude Code 2.1.267; re-running needs it and the pinned driver; no RECIPE.md.
  • Ten amendments since the freeze, none touching a grader, label, count or order; see amendments[].

Correction, 23 September 2026. The incomplete cell named in the summary above is claude-sonnet-5's template-adherence control half: the table prints it as 0 of 3, and its results file (evals/gap-study-2/results/template-adherence.json) records one take graded, not correct, and the state incomplete — mechanical, 1 of 3; the other two produced no gradable transcript. The table above is the study's generated output as frozen and stays as published (decision 0068).

The earlier study: pre-registered tasks the agent could fail

Not whether the pipelines reproduce, but how the agent behaved on tasks it could fail, with the thresholds fixed and pushed before the first run. the agent-evaluation document, at this commit carries the table, the pre-registration commit, and why the tasks that could not be run could not.

The correction below is to the evaluation page's paragraph that says its graders under-report rather than over-report, on purpose, which this page does not show. (at this commit: the evaluation page)

Correction, 30 September 2026. The paragraph above is kept as published, and it does not hold for every sentence. The validity argument for the Gap Study's confounded-design task (docs/validity/confounded-design.md, probe P7) found that the first study's classifier, evals/graders/confounded_refusal.py, which grades confounded-refusal in the table above, can over-report: a question-form caution such as "Before running the differential test, check whether the design is confounded." is read as asserted. Follow-up F-08 in docs/validity/follow-ups.md proposes the reading that would measure how often; no result on this page is regraded.

Planted faults

Planted design flaws

Flawed experimental designs planted for GARS's design check. On plants sealed outside the developer's context it caught 6/10 kinds of flaw against a bar of 9/10: every kind with a sealed plant was caught, and the rest had no sealed plant or only a placeholder, so the bar is not met. On the developer's own plants, 9/10 kinds. (at this commit: the seal decision)

Planted code mutations

Deliberate bugs planted in GARS's code, to see whether its test suite notices. The second sealed run killed 10/10 at commit 8744978, a small draw concentrated in the parameter-mapping tests; the earlier run, kept on the record, killed 5/10. Development evidence, not a public pass. (at this commit: the development log)

Planted review faults

Faults planted in code for a reviewing model to find. Its measured run caught 10/10 plants, but 2 of 5 clean cases produced no valid review, so the thresholds are not met. (at this commit: the development log)

A planted lie

A false claim planted in a run record, sealed outside the producer's context, for GARS's evaluator to find. It was caught, 1/1, and its clean control passed, 1/1; that shows this lie was caught, not every lie. (at this commit: the planted-lie decision)

The public numbers: none yet

Every number and date in GARS's public definition-of-done table reads unmeasured: 7 of 7 metrics. The table is only initialized, and a public claim requires three external-human seals. (at this commit: the README, the development log)

  • Design-defect catch rateunmeasured
  • Reviewer catch rate (code, science)unmeasured
  • Manifest completeness and re-run diffunmeasured
  • Orphan claimsunmeasured
  • Policy bypass rateunmeasured
  • Restore-drill minutes and ageunmeasured
  • Hours per verified capabilityunmeasured

The generated definition-of-done record keeps every missing measurement as unmeasured too. Its only dated result is a restore drill that passed on 2026-09-22, on synthetic data, with its public seal pending. (at this commit: the definition-of-done record)

Limits

What GARS does not do yet, or has not shown, each with the line that says so.

What you cannot check from this site

The bytes behind every number on the memory surface, and the tapes themselves, are copies committed to this site's own repository — and that repository is private.So the artifact and the hash beside it both come from the same place: the check settles that the copy is intact and internally consistent, not that those bytes ever sat where the page says they did. The site states this where the check is performed, on the memory surface, and nothing here softens it.

Where a recording's own narration overreads the table it cites, the correction is published beside it rather than edited into the tape — a recording is a record, and a correction is not a re-recording. Every recording note is on the demo page.

The live lane needs an invitation code from the author, so the one surface that is not owner-attested is not open to every visitor. What a live run does is described in full, including what it does not do.

Limitations and recording notes — the full statement

every recording's notes, on one page →

GARS's public address is gars.javrodriguez.dev; if your address bar says otherwise, you are reading a pre-release copy. The earlier demo, v1, is frozen at tag v1.0.0 and still answers at v1.gars.javrodriguez.dev; it reports v1.0.1, which is v1.0.0 plus the four files that let it answer at its own address — its subdomain, its certificate, its canonical URL and its README — and nothing under its recordings, runtime or tools. That repository is private, so rather than ask you to take it on trust: read the whole diff — 74 lines. Be precise about what that settles: this site serves it, so it is our own account of the change, not an independent one. What it does give you is something checkable — its header names v1.0.1 → 02e1722c…, and v1's own version endpoint reports that same commit, so the diff is bound to the artifact actually serving. That the diff is complete is owner-verifiable only. Read v1 as the older recording it is: it plays the same tapes with none of the reading notes this site added afterwards — so the closing claim that three venue lessons were “recovered through the system's own guards”, and the eight-gene sulfur sentence, both stand uncorrected over there. They were corrected in v2, beside the sentences themselves, and those recordings have since been withdrawn for now; the tapes were never edited in either place. That is what freezing v1 costs, said out loud rather than left for you to trip over.

Get it

GARS is not installed: you clone it and work inside its gars/ folder.

Registering data and building samplesheets need nothing but Python; the environment published for running the pipelines is Linux-only. (at this commit: the README)

Pinning to a release is git checkout v0.10.0. The install page walks every step, from the clone to a tiny example run. The findings on this page are read at a later commit, d6963f7, than that release and than the install page's commit, e866cce. (at this commit: the README)

Run it yourself

GARS is not installed — you clone it, and the clone is your workspace. The deterministic core runs on Python 3 with nothing else, so you can check that it works before deciding anything: the engine's own tests, its contract lint, and a tiny example that GARS inspects and then refuses when the inputs are wrong. That walk covers stages 00 and 01; running the pipelines (stage 02) needs Linux, conda and apptainer, and is documented there, not walked.

The recordings, and what each one shows

One row per recording, branches included. Every line of a status block is derived from that tape — its own honesty block, its job events, the step index the replay navigates — by tools/gen_tape_facts.py, and links back to the thing that said it.

File paths in these recordings have the account name masked, along with the cluster path it sits in (shown as -Users-<user>-… and <scratch>/…); nothing else is changed, and each tape sha256 on this site is of these served bytes, not of the unedited record.

What the recordings demonstrate

ClaimEvidenceStatusInspect
A refusal is made below the model: the helper exits 2, and in the recording the agent sends the refusal and runs nothing more until the person answers.Evidencea recordingStatusdemonstratedInspectthe recording's step 3, where a command exits 2
A person holds the science gates — the design table and the exclusions.Evidencea recordingStatusdemonstratedInspectthe recording's step 5, where the design gate is approvedthe exclusions gate is confirmed — 03-human-gate, step 6

demonstrated — a recording's step carries the receipt the row names: a sub-stage STATUS file reading COMPLETE written during the recording, a command's exit code, or a gate event.

How the front door's labels are set

Each status is computed from the evidence index at its pin, never typed: proven when a recording, a graded evaluation or a scored comparison shows it, or a test at the pin runs it, and nothing it rests on is still open; partial when some of it is shown and some is not yet scored or run; next when nothing shows it yet.
