Hard-Gate Candidacy in a Deployed Validator Suite
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.39037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Before a validator can be promoted to a hard gate on a deployment pipeline, it has to be shown that its firing separates outputs that reach users in working order from those that do not. We run that screen on 13 validators in a deployed generative agent, against 550 runtime and 350 static builds labelled by downstream outcome, and report each check's marginal separation $J=\mathrm{TPR}-\mathrm{FPR}$ with Newcombe intervals and Fisher exact tests. Two checks survive correction for multiple comparisons, two more are nominal only, and the remainin
