Per direction "remove the initial number, optimize for benchmark first" + "include
witness chain capabilities for proof and repeatability analysis":
- Empty board, no seeded numbers: ledger seeds to genesis only. Every result is a
real scoring-pipeline witness; RuView gets no hand-entered baseline.
- Real model scoring: aa_score_runner now loads predictions + an eval split
(--split/--pred) and scores them through the real ruview_metrics pose harness —
not just a synthetic fixture. Committed public smoke split (fixtures/smoke_*.json).
- Witness chain: each score emits a witness = inputs_sha256 (binds it to the exact
inputs) + proof_sha256 (cross-platform-stable score hash) + harness_version.
- Repeatability analysis: --repeat N runs the harness N× and fails if it ever
yields >=2 distinct proof hashes (16/16 identical locally).
- Witness ledger: ledger/ledger_tools.py — append-only, hash-chained, tamper-
evident (seed/append/verify); editing any past row breaks the chain.
- CI gate extended: determinism + repeatability(16) + real-scoring smoke + ledger
chain verify on every PR.

AetherArena ("AA") — the official, project-agnostic Spatial-Intelligence Benchmark
(ADR-149, Accepted). Iteration 1 of the long-horizon build:
- ADR-149 accepted: name locked (ruvnet/aether-arena), v0 metrics locked
(pose/presence/latency/determinism), dataset legality resolved (MM-Fi CC BY-NC
only; Wi-Pose excluded). Adds four-part framing, threat model, arena_score
formula, submission state machine, neutrality/governance, and the §7 acceptance test.
- aa_score_runner: deterministic scorer bin reusing the real ruview_metrics pose
harness on a fixed seed=42 fixture → RuViewTier-style verdict + cross-platform
SHA-256 proof hash. Builds --no-default-features (no torch/GPU). VERDICT: PASS.
- CI harness gate: .github/workflows/aether-arena-harness.yml runs the scorer on
every PR — the "PR that runs the harness as part of the build" requirement.
- Scaffold: aether-arena/{README,VERIFY,STATUS}.md + schema/aa-submission.toml.
- Horizon record persisted (.claude-flow/horizons/aether-arena-aa.json).
Infra = the deliverable; model SOTA (MM-Fi PCK@20) is a separate effort blocked on
ADR-079 data collection, tracked as a stretch goal, not an infra exit.
