Abstract
In this paper we show that the move pruning method we presented at SoCS last year sometimes prunes all the least-cost paths from one state to another. We present two examples exhibiting this erroneous behaviour--a simple, artificial example and a slightly more complex example that arose in last year's experiments. We then formally prove that a simple modification to our move pruning method makes it "safe," i.e., it will never prune all the least-cost paths between a pair of states. Finally, we present the results of rerunning last year's experiments with this provably safe version of move pruning and show that last year's main conclusions still hold, namely: (1) in domains where there are short redundant sequences move pruning produces substantial speedups in depth-first search, and (2) in domains where the only short redundant sequences are 2-cycles, move pruning is faster than parent pruning by a factor of two or more.

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
