Attention Residuals spike-path diagnostics
This directory implements preregistered protocol
llm-atlas-k3-attnres-spike-path-v1.
It is a targeted follow-up to Round 05. It replays the exact depth-32 Block training contract and adds diagnostic-only activation positions, gradient reductions, and same-forward backward-rule interventions. It is not a Kimi K3 checkpoint run and does not recover the paper's unpublished Figure 5 telemetry.

Formal cells use --run-kind formal and all three preregistered seeds. The
independent replay uses --run-kind replay --seed 2026073001. Formal and replay
runs are fixed to 8,000 steps; smoke performs the complete step-0 diagnostic
gate without an optimizer step.
Raw outputs are copied into results/raw/ only after training equivalence,
forward identity, loss-scale, reduction, and replay gates pass.
