-Three vectors moving in parallel. Each has a queue of concrete fixes
-tracked as TaskCreate items; the high-level shape is:
-
-1. **HLE** — keep pushing the floor up from 6.7% on Math. The
-   `scripts/hle_babysitter.sh` cron runs 10-Q Math batches every hour.
-   Open work: rotate categories beyond Math; build a multi-batch
-   aggregator (`scripts/hle_aggregate.py`); produce a clean Q3 vs Q4
-   stall-rate comparison once 30+ Q3 Math attempts have accumulated;
-   verify the gemma4.md tool-inventory change (e47cc4e) actually
-   lifted math/count/memory/verify call rates.
-
-2. **GraphRAG** — the auto-prefetch hook is shipping good chunks on
-   trivia but not on hard symbolic Math. Two concrete moves: lower
+  (30-min), classify_pulse (10-min), telegram_bot keepalive (2-min).
+  HLE eval loops were removed 2026-05-17 per operator directive — see
+  the "NO CUSTOM EVAL HARNESSES" rule below.
+- 🚨 **NO CUSTOM EVAL HARNESSES (2026-05-17).** The user has banned
+  bespoke evaluation infrastructure (HLE eval scripts, burndown
+  daemons, batch runners, judge-prompt pipelines, telemetry-aggregator
+  cron jobs, etc.). Even when such a harness drives the real TUI via
+  pexpect, the *concept* tempts the agent to fix harness-specific
+  issues (timeout tuning, env-var-gated behaviour, judge edge cases)
+  that don't help real users. Improving drydock comes from USING
+  drydock interactively as a real user does — the operator notices
+  pain, the agent fixes the pain. If you need a regression check,
+  write a unit test against the drydock library. If you need a
+  benchmark, run prompts through the TUI by hand and observe. Do
+  NOT spin up background eval daemons. Archived scripts at
+  `scripts/_archived_eval_harness/` — leave them archived.
+
+## Current plan (2026-05-17)
+
+Focus is on **TUI experience** — the operator uses drydock interactively;
+the agent fixes what the operator hits. No HLE eval loops, no custom
+benchmark daemons (see the "NO CUSTOM EVAL HARNESSES" rule above).
+
+1. **TUI bugs the operator notices in real use** — error recovery
+   paths, slash commands, tool reliability. Recent ships: /undo,
+   /back, /goal, vision (--mmproj), recovery meta-fix.
+
+2. **GraphRAG** — the auto-prefetch hook ships good chunks on trivia
+   but not on hard symbolic Math. Two concrete moves: lower
    `QUALITY_THRESHOLD` (currently 8.0 in `agent_loop.py:3391`) once
-   we know the real score distribution, and add an arxiv-corpus
-   fallback (`/data3/arxiv_corpus/graphrag.sqlite`) when the primary
-   index returns nothing above threshold.
+   we know the real score distribution, and the arxiv-corpus
+   fallback (`/data3/arxiv_corpus/graphrag.sqlite`) is wired.
 
 3. **Deep Noir** — sidecar/hooks/capture/train all coded; the
    `apply_chat_template` API-drift fix shipped 2026-05-14 (f02aa4b).
-   Real blocker for v1 vectors: contrastive-pair extraction is
-   currently broken — admiral records full UUIDs (e.g.
-   `5b55aacd-3606-4656-ad4b-eacf86506eda`) but session dirs are named
-   `session_<date>_<time>_<short_uuid>` where the `short_uuid` is the
-   first 8 chars of the SESSION's own UUID, not admiral's recorded
-   one. `extract_pairs._find_session_dir` matches on session_dir name
-   endswith(admiral_short) which only succeeds for the rare case
-   where both happen to match. Yield on `empty_after_tool:bash`:
-   2 / 88 derailed sessions found. Needs a real mapping layer
-   (meta.json → admiral) or admiral has to be fixed to record the
-   short hash used by session dirs.
+   Contrastive-pair extraction was fixed by **706f226 (2026-05-10)**:
+   admiral now records the live `agent_loop.session_id` (which IS the
+   short hash used by session dirs), and `extract_pairs._find_session_dir`
+   builds a `{meta.session_id → dir}` map from the on-disk
+   meta.json files. Both pieces work.
+   Real remaining issue: **admiral_state.json has ~3000 pre-fix
+   findings (recorded 2026-04-19 to 2026-05-10) whose UUIDs are
+   phantom — they don't resolve to any on-disk session_dir**.
+   `extract_pairs` correctly yields only the post-fix findings (~20
+   sessions across all categories as of 2026-05-17). The training
+   set will fill in as new findings accumulate. Pre-fix findings
+   are unrecoverable; consider GC'ing them out of admiral_state.json
+   so future audits aren't misleading.

+# Archived 2026-05-17 — DO NOT RESURRECT
+
+These scripts implemented a custom HLE eval harness that drove drydock
+via pexpect. The infrastructure was technically TUI-based (it spawned
+the real `drydock` binary), but the user objected to the entire
+*concept* of building bespoke evaluation infrastructure on the side:
+
+> "STOP trying to create custom harnesses for evals. Improving drydock
+>  is what matters. And using drydock can't be headless, you have to
+>  actually use it like the user would."
+
+The principle: **drydock improvements should come from USING drydock
+as a real user would** — interactively, with the user noticing pain
+points and the agent fixing them. A custom eval harness:
+
+  1. Tempts the agent to fix harness-specific issues (timeout tuning,
+     env-var-gated behavior, judge-prompt edge cases) that don't help
+     real users.
+  2. Introduces operational overhead (cron jobs, keepalive daemons,
+     telemetry pipelines) that's parallel to the actual product.
+  3. Distracts from the headline goal: make drydock better at what
+     real users do, not at what an eval suite measures.
+
+If you (future Claude) are tempted to build a new HLE-style eval
+harness, STOP. Read `~/.claude/projects/-data3-drydock/memory/
+feedback_no_custom_eval_harness.md` first. The user has been very
+clear on this and will push back hard.
+
+What to do instead:
+  - Use the drydock TUI yourself (or watch the user use it) to find
+    real bugs.
+  - Read open GH issues at fbobe321/drydock for user-reported pain.
+  - Fix things that affect interactive UX: error recovery, slash
+    commands, tool reliability.
+  - If you really need a regression-style check, write a unit test
+    against the drydock library — not a long-running eval daemon.
+
+Files preserved here for git history continuity; do not run them.
