cff-version: 1.2.0
message: "If you reference this measurement, separate its two estimands. The N=8 size result is 40.50× for the f32-radii shell profile and 76.54× for the BlockLogU8-radii shell profile versus eight independent f32 contexts of 800 shared + 28 unique tokens each (20.25× / 38.27× versus fp16-equivalent bytes). 'Lossless' names the f32-radii storage mode, not original-K/V reconstruction. Separately, one cache-aligned shared-prefix continuation check on an aggregate SmolLM2-1.7B + WikiText-2 fixture produced oracle PPL 7.203125 and roundtrip PPL 24.234375 (+236.44%) on exact target indices [800, 1024). It consumes reconstructed shared-prefix K/V, not shell K/V, rejects PPL neutrality, and is not independent-agent evidence. See CLAIMS.json and the bound receipts."

# F7 audit: the title previously said "lossless at 11.13x", which was the
# pool-only lossless ratio from the older `kv-lossless-11x` work. The
# current default is two-tier (pool + per-agent shells) at b=4. Current
# receipt-bound size and aggregate-fixture PPL evidence is in CLAIMS.json.

    # F7 audit: the previous version pointed to RecursiveIntill/Libraries
    # (typo) and the fib-quant path inside it. The codec actually lives
    # in this same repo as a workspace member.
