Before the multi-day campaign (hermes 3090/4090 -> qwen 3090/4090 ->
reasoning variants) the substrate-ON treatment arm must NOT drift. It
previously inherited DEFAULT_QUERY_POLICY implicitly, so any mid-run
edit would silently change what 'substrate-ON' means.
bench/stock_v1.py snapshots DEFAULT_QUERY_POLICY + re-asserts the
load-bearing pins (answer_mode=quote, crosslang OFF, repair OFF,
quantifier caps dry-run, metacognition label-only, soft-preflight OFF,
claim ceiling 12, v2-acronym-aware), then hashes the whole effective
dict. assert_not_drifted() fails loudly if that hash ever changes —
re-pinning is a deliberate fox-gated V.2 bump, never silent. The whole
campaign is identified by one governance_policy_hash
(5b6ca4c5...aade4e). Non-reasoning + non-distributed are harness axes
(reasoning -> phase 3, mesh -> later fork), not policy fields.
docs/stock-v1-config.md documents V.1, substrate-OFF (control_ab arm A),
the campaign matrix, and the energy-COGS companion (#000057) — whose
power states (idle / warm-idle / generation) are MEASURED per
card+model+inference-server at runtime, never hardcoded; only $/kWh is
an operator flag.
