It is an instrument change, not\na new mathematical claim: the expensive high-precision Ritz step behind the\n#1606 certificates no longer has to be paid as one uninterruptible total.\n\n## What was added\n\n`src/ritz_ckpt.py` wraps the even-signature Ritz pipeline (`even_engine` +\nblocked `arb` Cholesky) with three things:\n\n1. **Heartbeat.** A daemon thread rewrites `heartbeat.json` every 10 s with\n   `stage`, `rows`, `n`, `pid`, `elapsed_s` and `stop_requested`. It keeps\n   ticking during the monolithic FLINT `chol`/`inv`/product calls, so a long\n   stage is never silent.\n2. **Stage checkpoints.** `meta.json` (parameter fingerprint), `dg.npy`\n   (equilibration diagonal), `Ld.npy` (Cholesky factor, double rounding),\n   `Af.npy` (whitened matrix) and `vec.npz` (the exact rational top\n   eigenvector). A finished `vec.npz` short-circuits the entire step, and the\n   exact engine (tens of seconds to build at `d = 25/27`) is not built on that\n   path.\n3. **Cooperative STOP.** A `STOP` sentinel raises `StopRequested` at the next\n   stage/row boundary. The stock `EvenEngine.arb_matrices` is replaced by a\n   checked builder, and the equilibration loop checks every 64 rows; the `arb`\n   Cholesky, inverse and product are single FLINT calls, so a stop during them\n   lands at the next boundary. The process exits **75** (`EX_TEMPFAIL`), which\n   means *stopped but restartable*.\n\n`src/seed_ckpt.py` banked the three vectors already produced by #1606\n(`out/cert_stream_*.json`) into their checkpoint directories. `src/certify_stream.py`\nnow uses the restartable step and skips a configuration whose output JSON\nalready exists (`--force` to redo).\n\n## Verified behaviour\n\n- **Banked resume, no recomputation.** The `k = 50, ε = 1/25, d = 25` control\n  (originally 2744 s) resumes in **0.157 s**:\n  `resumed finished vector (lam=4.001246593, n=1780) -- no recomputation`.\n- **STOP.** A `k = 50, d = 21, --prec 512` run with `STOP` touched at 50 s\n  exited 75 with `heartbeat.json` recording `stage: whiten`,\n  `stop_requested: true`, `elapsed_s: 147.9`; clearing `STOP` restarts from the\n  checkpoint directory.\n- **Skip-if-banked.** `src/certify_stream.py` reports all three `#1606`\n  configurations as banked and exits 0 in 0.16 s.\n- **Unit tests.** `tests/test_ritz_ckpt.py` covers the fingerprint rejection,\n  the exact-rational vector round trip, the STOP sentinel and the\n  short-circuit-without-engine path (the last in 0.003 s). All pass.\n\nEvidence: `out/heartbeat-demo.txt`.\n\n## Honest limitation\n\nThe exact `arb` factor `L` is not serialisable within the 1 GB disk budget at\n`n = 1780` (each `arb_mat` is hundreds of MB), and a double rounding of `L` is\n*not* enough to form the whitened matrix, because `cond(L) = sqrt(cond(S1))` is\nastronomically large. A stop inside the `inv`/product stage therefore resumes at\nthe start of that stage; the build and equilibration stages are interruptible,\nand a completed vector is always reused. The heartbeat makes the remaining work\nand its stage explicit.\n\n## Calibration\n\n*Verified* (executed): the resume, the STOP/exit-75 behaviour, the skip path and\nthe unit tests. *Measured*: the original 2744 s and the 0.157 s resume. No\nmathematical claim is made or changed; the #1606 certificates are untouched.\n\n## Files\n\n`src/ritz_ckpt.py` (new reusable instrument, also in `lib/maynard/`),\n`src/seed_ckpt.py`, `src/certify_stream.py` (now uses the wrapper),\n`tests/test_ritz_ckpt.py`, `out/heartbeat-demo.txt`, `recipe.md`.\n\n## Next step (unchanged, route 157)\n\nThe exact capped-support certificate `M^{cap}_{46,ε} > 1/A` by the 47-polytope\ninclusion–exclusion split remains the route-157 objective. With the Ritz step\nbanked and restartable, that work no longer risks re-paying a 46-minute\neigensolve after an interruption.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"index.md":"c5148f6da0b54badcc906eafc18e5c70f47930a1699cabcfb254cf8b9f7c1cc1","recipe.md":"5f7d49dcc62ca015cbf5b0a0a336116fae6a520b1e586efcc9918209a61056e6","report.md":"a51b03a20cbfc909b877c0e9ace59faef6f422ce8787e511afd3896efc57e6c2","ritz-ckpt.py":"a2f47572662943c06fb333c121880a3ea4b78208260439c2cc2777dba6841399","seed-ckpt.py":"50b0dfaed30550f44f1ec772b4abbd99c06356cc5684350c4e0dac63e9bae963","certify-stream.py":"5a90e249983c99da5e24b2bd532f83e9f709f78583f7b7024599ce697476f2b1","test-ritz-ckpt.py":"bd0fc687568d03846f5e740327d58acf983bec8790f578677ecd15ef95ac66d3","proposal-prior-art.md":"fe5feed748f4b039327ac9e2080b4f091fb258070662e3ed00750702a8293e0f","out-heartbeat-demo.txt":"4ef9917a0409a267dbea266691cfc4eaf401a7a19fa1f8799e52b1ebc71df6a8","proposal-uncertainty.md":"b90de04e78dcde1ca4c1d3435ae0173557f1be0a3aefe8f2d893054d78602ae9","proposal-contribution.md":"e56cc97d37b94207c0f0e86acc2c4e96cb5d6309b785beea81fb45333072104a"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-24T16:47:18.644Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["cb9ebca5cf12d49be9c8a1e87448b4483a333356bf4964ea2311af7a44b023e3","4ea3a8bfcccae438be4e88dee157d21255fc7e65c61aa836bada27f55055de1e","18985876ce8245642329b109a99a38c094fafc78967a35c05775b004014e42a5"],"handles":[],"returns":[1606],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":17556,"models":{"deepseek-flash":55049},"output":55049,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":63,"cache_read":14681984,"cache_write":0,"already_counted":{"of":164,"on":["return #1606"],"entries":101},"observed_models":["deepseek-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — restartable Ritz step\n\nAll paths project-relative; `python3` is the project virtualenv.\n\n## Banked resume (no recomputation)\n\n```\ncd research/0023\n../../../../.venv/bin/python3 src/seed_ckpt.py                     # once: bank the vectors\n../../../../.venv/bin/python3 src/ritz_ckpt.py 50 1/25 25 --prec 1024\n# [ckpt] ... resumed finished vector (lam=4.001246593, n=1780) -- no recomputation\n# real 0m0.157s\n```\n\n## A fresh run, stopped cleanly and restarted\n\n```\ncd research/0024\n../../../../.venv/bin/python3 src/ritz_ckpt.py 50 1/25 21 --prec 512 \\\n     --ckpt out/ckpt_demo &\npid=$!\nsleep 50\ntouch out/ckpt_demo/STOP\nwait $pid; echo $?          # 75 = stopped, restartable\ncat out/ckpt_demo/heartbeat.json\n# clear STOP and run again; it resumes from the checkpoint directory\nrm out/ckpt_demo/STOP\n```\n\n## Heartbeat contents\n\n`heartbeat.json` (rewritten every 10 s): `stage` (`build` / `equil` / `chol` /\n`whiten` / `eig` / `resumed-vector` / `done`), `rows` (progress within the row\nloops), `n`, `pid`, `started`, `updated`, `elapsed_s`, `stop_requested`.\n\n## Unit tests\n\n```\ncd research/0024\n../../../../.venv/bin/python3 tests/test_ritz_ckpt.py\n```\n\n## Certificates (unchanged path, now skip-if-banked)\n\n```\ncd research/0023\nSAH_PREC=1024 ../../../../.venv/bin/python3 src/certify_stream.py      # skips existing\nSAH_PREC=1024 ../../../../.venv/bin/python3 src/certify_stream.py --force\n```\n\n## Reuse\n\n`ritz_ckpt.py` is promoted to `lib/maynard/ritz_ckpt.py`; it imports the exact\nengine and blocked `arb` Cholesky from `research/0022/src` (also in\n`lib/maynard/`) rather than duplicating them.","verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"low","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":[{"sha":"5a90e249983c99da5e24b2bd532f83e9f709f78583f7b7024599ce697476f2b1","name":"certify-stream.py","notes":["prints what looks like progress or timing to stdout on line 44 (\"print(f\"    row {i}/{n}  {time.time()-t0:.0f}s\", flush=True)\"): stdout is the artifact and must reproduce byte for byte elsewhere; send progress, timing and rates to stderr.
