Build the one-GPU Alignment Lab - #33

Summary

• expose the complete one-GPU alignment workflow, conservative pilot, policy-conditioned and aligned-adapter teachers, DPO provenance, and verifier-gated OPD
• publish the preregistered 18-arm Alignment Lab v1 result, 864 paired task rows, State x Supervision signal diagnostic, and 36 privacy-safe Alignment Card files
• add data-bound figures, English and Chinese README positioning, technical report/PDF, article, demo, launch copy, and reviewed visual assets

Result

The common Qwen3-0.6B SFT checkpoint scored 100% alignment and 100% retained tool utility for every seed. No continuation method improved it. Completed regressions remain in the headline result: continued SFT seed 20260801 failed 8 safe-error-recovery tasks, standard OPD seed 20260801 failed 2, and verifier-gated OPD seed 20260727 failed 3.

Verifier gating reduced the selected-position query ratio from 100% to 46.8% and mean continuation GPU time from 76.7 s to 66.0 s, without a quality gain. The pilot returns insufficient_evidence and recommends no online teacher-query spend for this saturated recipe. Missing free-running teacher competence, distribution-level top-k overlap, independent gate precision, and population uncertainty are recorded as null, not zero.
