Abstract
Streamflow in small forested watersheds on the Boreal Plain of western Canada can be a challenge to monitor due to high variation in flow, shifting channel morphology, aufeis obstructions, shallow channel depth, and debris in the channel. Intensive monitoring in natural channels can overcome some of these problems, but frequent assessment and recalibration of streamflow-stage relationships are necessary. Experience over 8 years indicates that in-channel structures designed to provide a stabilized stream-monitoring section (SSMS) proved beneficial to monitoring efforts during the ice-free season. The SSMS facilitated accurate gauging of the highest and lowest flows encountered during this period, provided a relatively stable foundation against streambank and channel erosion, and allowed passage of fish and the majority of debris and sediments. Functionality of the structures was markedly limited during ice-in conditions, but was improved with the addition of fitted canopies and propane heating systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
