Abstract
Docker images are composed of multiple layers, each of which contains a set of instructions, and an archive of files. Layers allow Docker to separate a large build task into smaller ones, such that when a part of the program is changed, only the corresponding layer needs to be changed. Yet the current implementation has major inefficiencies that make the rebuilding of an image unnecessarily slow when changes in bottom layers are required: uneven content distribution amongst layers, the need to rebuild an entire layer during update, and the rebuild fall-throughs in many cases. In this paper, we propose a code injection method that overcomes these inefficiencies by targeting only the changed layer and then bypassing the layer's content checksum. This process is developed specifically for an interpreted language such as Python, where changes can be detected explicitly via text diff tools and run as-is without compilation. We then demonstrate that this method can accelerate the rebuild time, effectively reducing the O(n) where n = size of layer rebuild time to O(1). Whereas for compiled languages, literal code injection cannot guarantee integrity in compiled machine code. Expanding on the same code injection principle, multi-layer targeted code injection will be addressed in a future discussion.

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
