NEW_PATIENT_QUEUE — surgery patients status (2026-05-02)

Doctrine

A patient enters the FrankenLLM runtime only after:

1. Baseline measurement on the target task set.
2. Surgery target described (excision / LoRA / distillation / repack).
3. Post-surgery delta measured on the same task set.
4. Verifier evidence (anchor 19/19 or task-specific gate).
5. Pack hash frozen and recorded.

No exception. No "speculatively wire it in" path.

Patients on the table

| patient | role candidate | status | |----------------------------------|------------------------|---------------| | Qwen 2.5 0.5B Physarum-05B | base for current organs| in production | | Qwen 2.5 7B Physarium-7B Q4 | top brain | in production | | Qwen3 small (0.6B / 1.8B) | newer 0.5-class organs | scoping | | Gemma 2 2B / Gemma 3 small | alt 0.5-class organs | scoping | | DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B | reasoning organ | scoping | | DeepSeek-V4-Flash 284B/13B | autopsy archive | benched, kept |

Work needed per scoping patient

Same template as Physarum-05B — recorded as PATIENT_<name>PASS<n>.md:

1. acquire — HF safetensors, tokenizer, license check.
2. donor pack — repack to native .planck BF16 (one shot, no surgery).
3. donor baseline — anchor + organ-only on the role's task set

(TRIZ 100, ARIZ 100, MBPP/HE 264, …) using the donor untouched. First number gives the bar.

1. surgery candidate — pick a target organ

(e.g. "Gemma 2B → phys02_renderer"). Define what this organ does that current organs don't.

1. QLoRA / excision / distill — produce candidate pack.
2. anchor + organ-only — gate against current production.
3. wire into separate PHYS0?_<NAME>_PACK — never overwrite a

working pack of a different organ.

1. report — PATIENT_<name>PASS<n>.md with all 4 artefacts.

Why this queue is paused

• Phys05 organ farm needs to be solid first (BD6 frozen, BD7 in

flight, BD8/BD9/BD10 = critic / wound / json_repair / cache_matcher / test_writer / renderer still queued).

• Each new patient costs disk + WSL RAM. Adding three new bases

before the current organ farm is gated would explode the storage and confuse the conductance router.

• The router (TRACK 2) needs to learn first on a stable organ set.

Adding bases before then poisons the BD store.

Trigger to start

NEW_PATIENT queue starts firing after:

• TRACK 1 done (all 0.5B organs gated or explicitly frozen).
• TRACK 2 done (Black-Dog conductance routing live).
• TRACK 4 done (critic + wound).

At that point the organ slate is stable and a new patient can be benched against an unmoving target.

Honest status

Current FrankenLLM uses two patients in production (Qwen 0.5B base

• Qwen 7B Q4 top-brain). Everything else is research notebooks until

the queue fires.
