Manuscript revision and pending experiment work, snapshot before restructuring

Clarity pass over the main text (36-item audit), Discussion rewrite and cut,
acknowledgements, Souly et al. as ref 62, lettered SI panels, model section
moved under Results; plus the untracked curriculum/society/compose/smol
configs, runners, figures, stats and tests that the SI already cites.

 - **The definitive "firm up the sign" run** (not yet coded) also wants: several seeds with mean±CI;
   more task families; and a dilution-resistant / offspring-selected ("directed sex") merge. `merge_hpc.yaml`
   only bumps the base model for now — enough to reduce noise, but the code changes are the real fix.

+- `hpc/llm_curriculum_controls.pbs` — seeds 2–3 of the two declinable-merge controls (forced stop
+  `curriculum_v5_stop3`, decorrelated curriculum `curriculum_v5_decor`); ~20 min (stop3) / ~40 min
+  (decor, two arms) per element on one L40S.
+- `hpc/llm_7b_seeds.pbs` — seeds 2–3 of the three 7B runs, chained merge → moe_hard → directed_hard
+  per element so the hard specialists are trained once; ~33 min per seed. Output lands in
+  `results/llm_<name>_hpc/s{seed}/` (seed 1 was moved to `s1/`; `figures/_figlib.load_seed_bundles`
+  reads either layout).
+- Gotcha met today: the 7B base was not in `$EPHEMERAL/hf_cache`; `snapshot_download` on the login
+  node took 19 s. Do not detect its completion with `pgrep -f snapshot_download` from a `bash -lc`
+  wrapper whose own command line contains that string.
