Field notes
The evidence view replays a frozen corpus through ten named stages, from 1,362 candidates to a 50-story delivered feed. It reports seven imported runs across three frozen corpora (3,920 articles) and ten adversarial reader fixtures; the page says those fixtures are not users. Stage counts are checked against three recorded facts, but individual cell positions are scattered by a fixed hash because actual cell-level stage history was not recorded.
