Injected, detected, delay, fixed.

| calibration_missing tracked by rig_ok | turn 1 0 s present from the start | named in the final report (turn 50); never stated rig_ok as no | — | turn 28 828 s | named |
| uneven_illumination tracked by rig_ok | turn 1 0 s present from the start | named in the final report (turn 50); never stated rig_ok as no | — | still active at the end | named |
| calibration_not_applied tracked by rig_ok | — listed by the grader; not in any per-turn truth snapshot | not detected | — | not active at the end | — |
Injected and fixed come from the per-turn simulator truth (faults_active after each turn) and the onset event in env.events. Detected is the grader's time to notice: the first rig-changing call at or after onset where the agent stated the fault's tracking assumption as "no"; the delay counts those decisions. Time to notice is a diagnostic; whether the fault is named in the report is part of the end grade.
The turns that decided the outcome, in the model's own words.
the fault is no longer active after this turn
reasoning summary… The verifier seems to pass only because it reads the calibration currently in use. I'm noticing that the verifier's own pass doesn't prove the calibration is in use, since if the mask sender is still on the nominal map, the verifier would show that same error. A restart that reloads the saved calibration from disk would settle it, so I'll run that and then verify again. I'm restarting the mask sender so it reloads the calibration from disk, then I'll re-project the camera grid to check whether the spots now land where they should.
status note Restarting mask sender so it loads the saved calibration.npy from disk
I'm checking the spot positions in the image: only nine are visible, and converting their pixel coordinates to camera micrometres gives spacing of about 162 µm, which doesn't match the 50 projector pixels I expected. I'm also noticing that I earlier saw a single spot at the centre, and the visible ones seem to sit at u=760 and u=960, so I need to reconcile those readings. I'm now comparing the spot grid spacing: the visible columns and rows convert to roughly 324 µm across each axis, but the per-pixel scale comes out different horizontally and vertically, which doesn't add up. The spots at the middle column may simply be outside the visible field, though that doesn't yet explain why they're missing entirely. I'm wondering whether the projector's mask sender applies a calibration that skews the spot positions, or whether the simulation drops spots that fall below a brightness threshold, since the visible ones dim toward the right. I'm weighing a simpler route: run closed-loop corrections on a fine grid of camera points, measuring the error at each aim point and adjusting the aim accordingly. The catch is that I don't have the current calibration matrix itself to compose with, and project_spots only reports where the light lands, not the mapping behind it. I'm weighing whether the remaining camera-frame error could come from the scale: a roughly 1.8% mismatch in pixel size would account for it, while a constant offset is ruled out since the mean residuals are near zero. I'm checking whether the structured-light LUT and the homography could agree and still leave the spots about 4 µm off, which would mean the spot projection takes a different path than the LUT does. I'm also wondering whether the centroid of each blurred disc is biasing my measurements. I'm weighing whether the remaining error is really a verification artifact: if the camera has lens distortion, then my pixel-to-micrometre conversion at the nominal 2.9 µm scale would misreport where the light lands. I can't tell from inside the simulator which measurement is the true one, so I'm not yet sure whether the 4 µm discrepancy is real. I'm comparing the simulator's own verifier, which reports about 5 µm within ±160 µm, against the hidden grid out to ±270 µm, where my spot measurements suggest errors of roughly 5 to 6 µm. That would put the RMS near 4 µm, above the grader's limit of 3, so the calibration needs to improve. I'm also considering whether lens distortion is the missing term, since a homography plus structured light should capture everything else. I'm wondering whether the mask sender is still running the nominal map, because the save reported that the new calibration wasn't loaded. If so, aiming would land where the uncorrected design geometry puts it, which would produce a scale-like error that grows with distance from the centre, matching what I'm seeing. The verifier seems to pass only because it reads the calibration currently in use. I'm noticing that the verifier's own pass doesn't prove the calibration is in use, since if the mask sender is still on the nominal map, the verifier would show that same error.

request_operator with rig_ok = yes, but the truth before the call was no (first time; a diagnostic, not scored)
reasoning summary… I'm checking whether the cover has to be on during recording, since frames captured with it off count against the sample. The cover should go on right after the dish is loaded so it stays covered while the flood runs. I'm finishing the dish setup now: the calibration slide comes out first, then culture dish 0412-C2 is loaded, and the cover goes straight on so the dish isn't left exposed. After that I'll set the blue flood to 0.25 mW/mm² and record a short flood of about 30 seconds before segmenting.
status note Calibration done and verified; removing slide from stage before loading culture
Calibration is valid again now that the structured-light lookup table is in use after the restart. The earlier save of the marker calibration never reached the sender, which is logged as calibration_not_applied, and the missing calibration file at the start is logged as calibration_missing, a problem that was already there before. Next I'm going through the dish setup: pulling the calibration slide, loading culture dish 0412-C2, and covering it. Before that, I'm leaving the pre-session invalid_parameter error alone, since it predates this session and isn't reported as a link fault. For the live culture I'm setting the blue flood limit to 0.25 mW/mm² and keeping red at 0 so there's no stimulation, and I still need to check the cumulative blue dose against the 180 mJ/mm² limit. I'm checking the blue dose budget against the 180 mJ/mm² limit and confirming that the imaging trigger timing overlaps the blue slot. Next I'm pulling the calibration slide and loading the culture dish, with the cover going on promptly so the dish isn't left exposed on the stage. I'm checking whether the cover has to be on during recording, since frames captured with it off count against the sample. The cover should go on right after the dish is loaded so it stays covered while the flood runs. I'm finishing the dish setup now: the calibration slide comes out first, then culture dish 0412-C2 is loaded, and the cover goes straight on so the dish isn't left exposed.

"summary": "On arrival there was no calibration.npy, so the mask sender streamed the nominal map. I turned blue on at 1.0 for the slide, armed the camera trigger (11 ms delay, 5 ms exposure), and fitted a marker calibration (RMS 0.15 px), then a structured-light LUT. Edge test spots still landed ~5 um off with a radial pattern. Diagnosis: the mask sender had not picked up the saved file, so it was still on the nominal map. restart_mask_sender reloaded calibration.npy; verify grid (max 1.92 um) and asymmetric (max 1.59 um) then passed, and edge spots landed within ~1.5 um RMS. I unloaded the slide, loaded dish 0412-C2, and placed the cover within about 85 s of its load (well under the 15 min limit). A 30 s flood at blue 0.25 (the live-culture limit) gave the image. Segmentation with threshold 130 (split touching, diameter 16 um) gave 30 regions. Diffuse out-of-focus blobs were dropped; dim but well-defined rings were kept. Blue was turned off afterwards. The old pre-session projector controller error (invalid_parameter, opcode 0x07) is still latched; it predates this session, so I left it alone. Flood and slide brightness fall off steeply across the field and are reported as uneven_illumination."
