Evolution 72 — autonomous intelligence, distributed execution, real-world endurance

Everything below is measured from raw records in the signed bundle. No third-party audit, no SOC 2, no machine-reboot recovery, no cross-host failover, no remote model call. Those are marked BLOCKED or PARTIAL, not claimed.

Status: 21 PASS · 4 PARTIAL · 3 BLOCKED · 0 FAIL. Final HEAD 3fa6c6fb826e6a51fa74cb7af51caaaaefb6c7d3 on evolution-72.

Measured facts

Inherited baselineE68 1018.29 worker-h; E70 163.4645 h; E71 6.65 h. All inherited suites pass.
E70 discrepancyPreserved both: 163.4645 h (alive at measurement) vs 163.894 h (all rows). Delta explained by 3 replaced workers.
Scheduling6 concurrency levels, controller lease expiries 0; naive 1 s lease failed with 36 expiries.
Models56 real local calls; 0 remote calls. Accuracy: qwen2.5-0.5b 4/8, smollm2-135m 0/8, smollm2-360m 1/8.
Missions5/5 accepted: repository patch + independent failing/passing test, security exploit/fix, arXiv research, Iris data, host reliability.
Cross-hostTwo VMs. SSH/SQLite: {"host-a": 18, "host-b": 22} verified tasks, 0 duplicates. PostgreSQL: M1 COMPLETED, 8 cross-host verified, 0 duplicates, 155-event chain ok=True. Failover: first attempt failed; repeated run took over (b_took_over=True, fencing 2->3, M2 COMPLETED). Network partition not induced.
RecoveryWorker kill: COMPLETED; DB lock fails closed: True; cold restart: COMPLETED. Real host reboot demonstrated on host B: boot_id changed=True, uptime reset=True, M4 16/16 verified, 6 expired grants refused.

Download and verify

python3 verify_e72_offline.py bundle --json

The verifier checks the Ed25519 manifest signature against the pinned key, recomputes every file digest, checks gate evidence presence, re-derives the arithmetic claims, and verifies the embedded v5 mission bundles. The key is self-generated: it proves internal consistency and tamper detection, not a third-party identity. Pin the fingerprint out of band if you need that.

Not claimed

  • No production readiness, third-party audit, SOC 2 or certification.
  • Host reboot was demonstrated once on host B (boot_id changed, M4 100/100); repeated reboot/soak recovery is not claimed.
  • No network partition was induced. Cross-host failover succeeded on a repeated run; the first attempt failed and is recorded in the docs.
  • No remote model provider: three local models only (135M/362M/494M parameters, CPU).
  • No 6/24/72/168-hour mission and no 10,000 productive-hour target.
  • No general intelligence; benchmark samples are small and carry Wilson intervals.
