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.
