- status: workspace-dev — VERDICT FIRMING: settings suffice so far. Cache certified BOTH scales (local 117s→2.3s 51×; A100 warm-repeat 330534 wall 937s vs 5518s cold, 5.9×, 70min fusion compile GONE). CORRECTION: morning matrix 388/851s were LOAD ARTIFACTS — idle CPU compile flat ~105-125s across vmap/lax.map/pyloop (diff ≈6× jit, batching free); pyloop_vag transform added, no win. Pixelization compiles FAST on CPU (5s/31s) — pathology is op-pattern/GPU-fusion-specific. OVERNIGHT: A/B cold-compile jobs 330536 (plain vag) + 330537 (lax.map adam) w/ fresh caches + HLO dump of input_reduce module — read logs compileab_*_33053{6,7}.log tomorrow. Remaining: A/B verdict, HLO analysis, then FINDINGS.md + spawned follow-up (config rollout: cache-dir-by-default)

- note: parallel-claim override (user-approved 2026-07-16): slam-resume-profiling (#70) also claims autolens_profiling — different subtrees (it owns slam/resume paths; this task adds NEW jax_compile/ dir only, touches nothing existing). Research deliverable = compile-time probe + research note answering "jit boundaries in source vs settings/small changes". autolens_workspace_developer is READ-ONLY evidence (claimed by pixelized-gradient-experiment). Companion (separate task): draft/feature/autolens_profiling/jax_compile_time_profiling.md industrializes the probe. Established: autotune ruled out; lax.map scan-of-vmap >> plain value_and_grad (7m36s vs >30min same fusion); persistent cache warming in play on RAL job 330513.

- issue: PyAutoLabs/autolens_workspace_developer#100
- status: in-progress — A100 pipeline WORKING. Gradient question SETTLED (yes). Search question OPEN. Nautilus baseline 330513 COMPLETE 2026-07-16 (1h32: 1h10 compile + 22m sampling): CONVERGED 27840 calls, N_eff 1233, logZ +17345.4, max logL +17418.9 at r_E=1.3102 — inside slack 0.3 tol by 0.01 only; 8k nats BELOW the FD probe's +25537 truth point (which IS in-model) → reads as pixelized source-degeneracy dominant mode. Optimizer bar = +17419 (adam's -39888 is 57k nats under it). RAL compile cache now WARM; pixgrad_pyautofit worktree safe to delete.
- worktree: ~/Code/PyAutoLabs-wt/pixelized-gradient-experiment (autolens_workspace_developer on feature/pixelized-gradient-experiment, pushed, NOT PR'd)
- autonomy: supervised (research)
- SETTLED: pix likelihoods ARE gradient-differentiable. A100 FD probe (kernel-CDF RectangularKernelAdaptDensity(bandwidth=0.1), os_pix=1, x64): every mass/shear param FD-matched ~1e-6 (einstein_radius rel=8.8e-7), logL +25537 at a truth-centred point. My earlier "no" was a methodology error (human caught it). NEVER use adaptive meshes at os_pix=1 (certified staircase = dead mass gradient); kernel-CDF is live at os_pix=1, adaptive needs os_pix=4.
- SHIPPED: PyAutoFit#1374 batch_size (merged 7262f832) — unbatched pix multi-start OOMs 80GB A100 (58.13 GiB jvp fusion); batch_size=4 completed a full f64 fit. Do NOT use fp32 (science compromise) or apply_sparse_operator (human: separate question, may slow the likelihood).
- OPEN (the real question): adam ran ONCE — wall 2090s, max logL -39888, einstein_radius 1.4169 (truth 1.6), per-start basin 0/16. "IN TRUTH BASIN: True" is an ARTIFACT of a slack 0.3 tol — do not trust it. logL -39888 vs the probe's +25537 at truth = the optimizer did NOT find the basin. Suspects: n_steps=300 too few from broad starts; lr=1e-2 mis-scaled; my per-start diagnostic indexing may be wrong.
- resume: (1) read Nautilus 330379 result (/mnt/ral/jnightin/pixgrad_logs/samp_pixgrad_nautilus_330379.log) — if Nautilus ALSO misses the basin, the model/priors are at fault, not the gradient optimizer; (2) then debug adam (steps/lr/diagnostics); (3) then adabelief + lion. Only adam has run — no ADABelief/Lion/Nautilus results yet.
- RAL: shared /mnt/ral/jnightin/PyAuto/PyAutoFit left CLEAN on main (human's release version-bumps in README/docs/paper preserved). My isolated PyAutoFit worktree /mnt/ral/jnightin/pixgrad_pyautofit (batch_size branch, now merged to main) is PYTHONPATH-prepended by the sbatch and still used by job 330379 — safe to delete once it finishes, then the shared mirror on main suffices.
- TRAPS: foreground
timeout sshdoes NOT kill the remote side (it severed a git op, leaving a stale index.lock + half-applied checkout in the SHARED mirror) — use nohup+setsid+sentinel. Nautilus on a JAX row MUST set force_x1_cpu=True + use_jax_vmap=True (else fork corrupts JAX state) and n_batch<=16 without the sparse operator (default 100 needs ~100GB). - intakes filed: draft/feature/autolens_profiling/jax_compile_time_profiling.md (Fable, tomorrow — compile is ~all the wall time; autotune RULED OUT: 2100s vs 2090s identical), draft/refactor/autofit/split_fitness_batch_size_lh_vs_latent.md
