…e gap closer) # Patch 45: LEGAL_TTT_MARKER Per-batch context/target test-time training at eval time. Splits each val batch sequence at 50/50, runs K=3 SGD steps on the context half, evaluates CE on the target half. Weights reset between batches → no test-data leakage across docs. Why this is THE biggest unspent leverage: - COMPETITION_SCOPE.md gap analysis: 234 PRs use TTT (best 0.3212 with SLOT) - LEGAL_TTT variant: 85 PRs (best legal score 0.7139) - Top legal open PRs (openai#642 0.8173, openai#620 0.9443, openai#512 0.9512, openai#940/761/1185 ~0.96) all use this category - WE HAD ZERO TTT until this patch - Our cheap-pod best 1.41 → projected with LEGAL_TTT: 1.0-1.2 (very speculative) - Could close the gap from 1.07 (our merged-record territory) to 0.81 (legal frontier) Architecture: - New helper `_eval_val_legal_ttt(...)` inserted before `def eval_val` - `eval_val` body modified to dispatch to helper when env var on - Inner loop: save base weights → AdamW LR=0.001 → K=3 grad steps on ctx → eval target → restore - Default OFF preserves bit-exact baseline eval Legality: - Trains on val data CONTEXT (first half of each sequence) — that's the legal precedent context for predicting the SECOND half - Reports val_bpb computed ONLY on the TARGET half - Weights reset between batches (no cross-doc leakage) - Identical to PR openai#642 (0.8173) and openai#620 (0.9443) pattern Cost: ~3-4× the eval time. Bumped MAX_WALLCLOCK_SECONDS=2400 (40 min) for tests. 2 cheap-pod tests queued at FRONT: - STACK_LEGAL_TTT_seed42: ALL 5 winners (gated_attention + norm_pct + asym_skip + asym_label + per_proj) + LEGAL_TTT on top - L04_gated_attention_LEGAL_TTT_seed42: solo L04 + LEGAL_TTT for clean baseline Both on Pod G with USE_LEGAL_TTT=1, LEGAL_TTT_STEPS=3, LEGAL_TTT_LR=0.001. EXPECTED_MARKERS now 45 in both 08_patch and gate_check.py. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Key Innovation: Score-Every-Epoch Multi-Scale LoRA TTT
Per-document LoRA adaptation where each epoch re-scores all chunks with progressively better-adapted weights. Only the final epoch's scores contribute to BPB.
