+# Note to the repo-frontdoor agent (2026-05-02)
+
+**You are invited** to update the repository's external-facing surface area to reflect the current state. This note is written by the executor agent that just closed Phases 0G + 1A. It tells you exactly what changed, where the canonical sources are, and what the front-door reader should see.
+
+## What's currently outdated
+
+The following files are the project's "front door" and currently reflect a pre-2026-05-02 state. They predate the Phase 0G unblock, the Phase 1A on-device proof, and the Phase 1A.0 + 1A.B overnight characterisation:
+
+- `README.md` — top-level project description. Likely still says Phase 0G is pending or QAIRT-blocked.
+- `PRD.md` — product requirements doc. Phase 1A status / acceptance criteria are pre-D-030.
+- `MODUS-OPERANDI.md` — methodology doc. Should be cross-referenced from the new comprehensive report.
+
+## What to bring forward
+
+### Headline (one-line update)
+
+Phase 0 is **closed**. Phase 1A on-device QNN inference is **proven** on actual Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 4 hardware with **22,850 successful inferences over 6h15m at 100% success rate**. Phase 1A.B steady-state benchmark is **closed**. Phase 1A.A (real-data ELO Stage-1 training experiment) is the next step.
+
+### Numbers to put in the README (verified, not projections)

+### Authoritative documents to link from README
+
+These are the documents that should be visible from the front door, in this priority order:
+
+1. **`docs/REPORT-2026-05-02-comprehensive.md`** — the 8.6k-word zero-context-friendly technical report. This is what an external ML engineer or OEM platform engineer should land on. Self-contained; no other reading required.
+2. **`docs/REPORT-2026-05-02-phase-0-1a-progress.md`** — shorter (~3.5k word) executive companion, for readers already familiar with edge ML.
+3. **`docs/PHONE-OVERNIGHT-RUNBOOK.md`** — operator runbook for the proven overnight chain.
+4. **`docs/DECISIONS.md`** — full 32-row decision log; canonical source of truth for every claim.
+5. **`docs/NOTE-TO-REPO-AGENT-2026-05-02.md`** — this file (for context if the agent re-runs in a future session).
+6. **`PR #4`** on GitHub — every change in this period is in one PR for review/merge.
+
+### What to edit in README.md
+
+I'd suggest the README looks like:
+
+```markdown
+# Polymath AI
+
+Research infrastructure for **continuous pretraining of an LLM directly on a consumer Android phone**.
+
+Target model: `Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B`. Target hardware: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 4 (SM8750).
+Reference handset: REDMAGIC 10 Pro+. Method: ELO continuous pretraining (train layer 0 + LM head, freeze middle layers, run frozen middle on phone NPU).
+
+## Status (2026-05-02)
+
+Phase 0G AOT compile: **closed** (5/5 scopes ok, QAIRT 2.44 + LiteRT 2.1.4 matching pair).
+Phase 1A on-device inference: **closed** (22,850 inferences, 100% success rate, 576 ms p50 for full 26-layer Qwen frozen middle on Hexagon NPU).
+Phase 1A.A (real-data ELO Stage-1 training): **next**.
+
+See `docs/REPORT-2026-05-02-comprehensive.md` for the full technical report.
+
+## Headline number
+
+A 1.5-billion-parameter transformer's frozen middle (26 of 28 Qwen2.5-1.5B layers) AOT-compiles to a 2.3 GB Qualcomm SM8750 context binary and runs on a consumer phone's Hexagon NPU at **0.576 seconds per forward pass, sustained for 6+ hours at 100% reliability, room-temperature ambient, no thermal throttling**.

+## Boundary
+
+(Verbatim self-imposed scope; sha256-anchored across artifacts.)
+
+> Research infrastructure for in silico on-device LLM training and multilingual / multi-domain knowledge model construction. Outputs are research artifacts — model checkpoints, training telemetry, evaluation reports, throughput measurements. No regulatory certification claims. No clinical or human-subject use. No surveillance, biometric profiling, or identity inference. No model weights distributed without explicit license attestation. No training on copyrighted material without explicit corpus-license decomposition. No deployment to production without a falsifier-traced acceptance gate.
+
+## Reproducer
+
+90-minute clean-slate reproducer: see `docs/REPORT-2026-05-02-comprehensive.md` §11 + §15.
+```
+
+### Things you should NOT change
+
+- **The boundary block.** Verbatim, sha256-anchored. Already correct in `polymath_ai/boundary/text.py`.
+- **The decision log entries.** D-001 through D-032 are immutable historical record. Add D-033+ if you make new decisions; never edit prior rows.
+- **The phase numbers.** 0A through 3A are stable. Don't renumber.
+- **Anything in `runtime/reports/`.** Those are dated artifacts; they belong to the run that produced them.
+- **The `polymath_ai/` source code unless it has actual new functionality** — this note is asking for a docs-only update.
+
+### What to merge first
+
+PR #4 (`linux/phase0g-qairt-v2.43`) carries every change this report references. The PR has been kept in a coherent state with running test suite (127/127 pass) and a working overnight chain (closed cleanly with `stop_signal_received`). After PR #4 merges, your README + PRD updates can be a separate PR with a clean diff, or appended to PR #4 if your workflow prefers a single roll-up.
+
+### Verification before you publish
+
+1. `pytest tests/` → expect 127/127 pass.
+2. `cat polymath_ai/boundary/text.py | grep BOUNDARY_SHA256` → confirm the sha256 anchor is present and matches what the boundary scanner expects.
+3. `python -c "from polymath_ai.scheduler.registry import default_registry; r = default_registry(); print(r.get('litert_qnn_sm8750').confirmed_for_socs)"` → expect `(('SM8750', 1.0),)` (the Phase 0G promotion).
+4. Visit <https://huggingface.co/datasets/Architect-Prime/polymath-telemetry/tree/main/phase1a> → confirm the latest run's audit.jsonl exists (the live-monitoring proof).
+
+## Why this matters externally
+
+The work in this period unlocks two reusable patterns for the broader on-device-ML community, beyond Polymath's own roadmap:
+
+1. **The "matching-pair" SDK pinning insight** — LiteRT's `third_party/qairt/workspace.bzl` hard-pins QAIRT version with a public CDN URL. Reusable by any team hitting QnnSystem-version-mismatch errors.
+2. **The "extract embedded QNN context binary" pattern** — saves a multi-week NDK build for production QNN-delegated models. Tooling in `scripts/host/extract_qnn_context.py` (~80 lines, two dependencies).
+
+Both are documented in §7 of the comprehensive report; consider linking from the README for community discoverability.

+# Phase 1A overnight chain — runbook for fridge mode
+
+**Audience:** zero-coder operator with a REDMAGIC 10 Pro / SM8750. You connect the phone over USB, type one command, disconnect, put it in the fridge.
+
+**What runs:** an inference loop on the phone's Hexagon NPU using the Phase 0G AOT artifacts (D-030 / D-031). Each iteration runs either a single Qwen2.5-1.5B transformer block (fast) or all 26 layers of the ELO frozen middle (slow). Telemetry — battery, thermal, memory, disk, per-inference timing — is appended to a hash-chained JSONL audit log on `/sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/`. Every 10 iterations the audit log is pushed to a private HF dataset so you can monitor live from any browser without reconnecting the phone.
+
+## What the operator sees during execution
+
+**Live monitoring (any browser, any device):**
+
+```
+https://huggingface.co/datasets/Architect-Prime/polymath-telemetry/blob/main/phase1a/<run_id>/audit.jsonl
+```
+
+The `<run_id>` is printed at startup (format `YYYYMMDDTHHmmSSZ_phase1a_overnight`). HF auto-renders JSONL — you'll see one row per inference batch with timing + battery + thermal data. Files refresh every ~2 minutes (every 10 iterations).
+
+## Pre-conditions (already in place from this session)
+
+- `/data/local/tmp/qairt-2.44/` — QAIRT 2.44.0.260225 aarch64-android (579 MB)
+- `/data/local/tmp/phase1a/qwen_block.qnn.bin` (90 MB) and `qwen_frozen_subgraph.qnn.bin` (2.3 GB)
+- `/data/local/tmp/phase1a/input.bin` + `input_list.txt` (synthetic FP32 zeros — 1×16×1536)
+- `/sdcard/Polymath/.hf-token` (HF token for live telemetry push)
+- `/sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/overnight_inference.sh` (the runner)
+
+## Start the chain
+
+From the host (Mac, with `adb` connected):
+
+```bash
+adb shell '
+  rm -f /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/STOP /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/audit.jsonl /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/hf_push.log
+  nohup setsid sh /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/overnight_inference.sh \
+    > /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/runner.log 2>&1 &
+  echo "PID=$!"
+  sleep 3
+  svc power stayon ac
+'
+```
+
+Verify it's running and detached:
+
+```bash
+adb shell 'ps -ef | grep overnight_inference | grep -v grep'
+# PPID column should be 1 (init) — that means adb disconnect won't kill it
+```
+
+## Disconnect + put in fridge
+
+Once `ps -ef` shows PPID=1, **you can unplug the USB cable**. The loop keeps running:
+- The phone stays awake because `svc power stayon ac` is set (keeps CPU running while AC powered).
+- The Hexagon NPU is reachable via `qnn-net-run` from adb-shell context, even with the screen off and ADB disconnected.
+
+For fridge mode:
+- Put the phone in **REDMAGIC Game Zone** before unplugging if available — Game Zone disables Doze for foreground processes.
+- Plug the phone into a power outlet IN the fridge (charge bypass mode if the phone supports it; otherwise battery will charge to full and then trickle-charge).
+- Close the fridge.
+
+## Live monitoring (no reconnection needed)
+
+**Quick status check** — visit this URL in any browser:
+```
+https://huggingface.co/datasets/Architect-Prime/polymath-telemetry/tree/main/phase1a
+```
+
+The newest directory matches your current run. Click into `audit.jsonl` to see per-iteration rows. Each row carries:
+- `iter` — iteration number
+- `scope` — `qwen_block` (1 layer) or `qwen_frozen_subgraph` (26 layers)
+- `wall_ms` + `per_inf_ms` — wall-clock for the batch + per-inference latency
+- `rc` — exit code from `qnn-net-run` (0 = ok)
+- `out_size` — output bytes (98304 = 1×16×1536 FP32; anything else = problem)
+- `battery.{level,temp_dC,ac_powered}` — phone health
+- `thermal.{cpu-N-N-N,battery,skin-msm-therm}` — every available thermal zone
+- `memory.{avail_kb,total_kb}` — RAM headroom
+- `disk.{data_free_kb,sdcard_free_kb}` — storage headroom
+- `prev_event_hash` — sha256 of the previous row, for tamper-detection
+
+If the row count stops growing for >5 minutes, something stalled. If it hasn't pushed to HF in >10 minutes, network or HF API is down.
+
+## Auto-stop conditions (graceful)
+
+The loop monitors itself and halts on any of:
+- **`/sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/STOP` file exists** (your kill switch)
+- **Battery temperature > 45.0°C** (records `thermal_halt` event then exits)
+- **Battery level < 15%** (records `low_battery_halt` event then exits)
+- **Required QNN binary missing** (records `fatal_missing_artifact` event then exits)
+
+A graceful halt always writes a `phase1a_overnight_end` event as the last row, so you can tell apart "still running but slow" vs "stopped on its own".
+
+## Stopping it manually (kill switch)
+
+From the host (after re-connecting USB):
+```bash
+adb shell 'touch /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/STOP'
+```
+
+The loop checks for `STOP` once per iteration (~12 s cycle). It will halt within one cycle, write the `stop_signal_received` event, and exit.
+
+## Reconnecting in the morning
+
+```bash
+adb shell 'tail -3 /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/audit.jsonl | tr "," "\n" | grep -E "ts|event_type|iter|wall_ms|per_inf|level|temp_dC"'
+adb pull /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/audit.jsonl /tmp/overnight_audit.jsonl
+adb pull /sdcard/Polymath/phase1a/runner.log /tmp/overnight_runner.log
+```
+
+Then summarise locally with:
+```bash
+wc -l /tmp/overnight_audit.jsonl                      # total events
+grep -c inference_batch /tmp/overnight_audit.jsonl    # inference iterations
+grep -E "thermal_halt|low_battery_halt|stop_signal"  /tmp/overnight_audit.jsonl
+```
+
+## What this run actually proves overnight
+
+- **Steady-state per-inference latency** on Hexagon for both qwen_block and qwen_frozen_subgraph (the 10x wall-clock from the smoke test was dominated by 2.3 GB mmap; thousands of iterations factor that out).
+- **Thermal sustainability** of continuous Hexagon-NPU inference — does the SM8750 throttle under sustained load, especially in cool fridge ambient?
+- **Battery / charge-bypass behavior** — if the phone is plugged in inside the fridge, does the AC supply keep the battery at full without thermal stress, or does it cycle?
+- **Reliability of the inference primitive** — across thousands of inferences, do we ever see `rc != 0` or `out_size != 98304` (i.e. silent corruption)?
+- **End-to-end auditable record** — the hash-chained JSONL gives a tamper-evident log of every inference call we made through the night.
+
+These four data points are the foundation for the Phase 1A.A ELO experiment that's queued next.
+
+## Known constraints / caveats
+
+- **No real tokens yet.** The input is FP32 zeros. So the outputs are `f(0)` for the random-init weights of each scope; numerically they're the layer-norm bias / projection patterns of the network. They DON'T mean anything semantically. The point of this overnight run is the system-level proof, not language modelling.
+- **Termux is unused.** The original blueprint relied on Termux for telemetry, but Termux SSH was unresponsive in this session (suspected aggressive power-management of the Termux app process). The pure adb-shell + curl path is more reliable.
+- **No Android NDK / LiteRT app.** Running the QNN context binary directly via `qnn-net-run --retrieve_context` works for our case because every op in our compiled subgraphs is QNN-delegated by construction. A model with mixed delegate coverage would need a different runtime.
