Abstract
For bilevel programmes with a convex lower-level programme, the classical approach replaces the lower-level programme with its Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition and solve the resulting mathematical programme with complementarity constraint (MPCC). It is known that when the set of lower-level multipliers is not unique, MPCC may not be equivalent to the original bilevel problem, and many MPCC-tailored constraint qualifications do not hold. In this paper, we study bilevel programmes where the lower level is generalized convex. Applying the equivalent reformulation via Moreau envelope, we derive new directional optimality conditions. Even in the nondirectional case, the new optimality condition is stronger than the strong stationarity for the corresponding MPCC.

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
