Summary

Updates the benchmark research program RFC (EN, ZH) and docs/research/README.md with the 2026-11 external benchmark portfolio ranking and Bitter-Lesson boundary synthesis:

  1. §2.2 Bitter-Lesson Boundary & Governed Failure Regimes + §5.2 Raw-Artifact Reset Baseline:
    • Clarifies when minimal raw-artifact + scalar score resets with self-authored inspection probes (e.g., Meta-Harness arXiv:2603.28052, Vercel d0, AlphaEvolve) match or beat lossy hand-written compression, and links ./frontier-science-research-program-v0.md (.zh-CN.md) without duplicating §2/§3 content.
    • Codifies the five failure regimes requiring a governed control plane: (1) Goodhart & verifier tampering (LHTB 2.0 14/17, RHB arXiv:2605.02964, SWE-Marathon 13.8%), (2) OOD overfitting & prompt/code bloat (RRSI arXiv:2609.24972, arXiv:2605.30621), (3) premature termination & sparse/binary terminal verifiers (zstd-decoder, LHTB covshift), (4) proxy misalignment & tail TLE cliffs (benchmark/proxy_order.py, DuoDiscover arXiv:2610.17184, LangChain Terminal-Bench 2.0 63.6% -> 53.9%), and (5) stateful dependency-DAG, coverage, and workspace/settlement invariants (LoopsBench, EdgeBench New Foundations, workspace_delivery.py).
    • Updates §5.2 item 1 (Native baseline) to require accounting for or running a zero-protocol-tax Raw-Artifact Reset Baseline (all artifacts + scalar scores, clean per-generation reset) on episodic scalar/RSI tracks.
  2. §3.8 External Benchmark Survey and Priority Ranking (2026-11):
    • Establishes the P0 (EdgeBench, FrontierCS-2, LHTB / LHTB 2.0, LoopsBench), P1 (SWE-Marathon, PaperBenchX preferred over PaperBench, ALE distinct from SakanaAI/ALE-Bench, WideSearch, KernelBench / AlgoTune), P2 (ALE-Bench, StartupBench, MLE-bench, tb-science excluded from RSI due to CI-locked 28800s budget and 100% binary reward.txt), and Control-Only / Deprioritized (DeepSWE, SWE-bench Pro, CORE-Bench, ScienceAgentBench, BixBench, FrontierScience, RE-Bench) portfolio matrix with task counts, horizons, verifier shapes, frontier headroom, in-repo LOC/readiness, and platform constraints (Linux x86_64 vs macOS ARM64 Rosetta/QEMU/Colima limits, CUDA/GCP dependencies, shared benchmark/runtime/ + Stop-hook E0–E2 gates).
  3. §17 Decision Log, §18 References & Index:

Verification

  • uv run --extra test python scripts/check_rfc_bilingual.py --base origin/main --head HEAD -> RFC bilingual diff check passed.
  • python3 scripts/generate_rfc_status_index.py --check -> exit 0
  • git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD -> 3 files changed (+453 / -2), zero changes in §6.4.

…son boundary

Add §2.2 summarizing the Bitter-Lesson raw-artifact reset boundary and five failure regimes requiring governed control planes, require a Raw-Artifact Reset Baseline under §5.2 Native baseline for episodic scalar/RSI tracks, add §3.8 with the 2026-11 benchmark portfolio priority matrix (P0/P1/P2/Control-Only) and platform constraints, update §17/§18 in EN/ZH mirrors without touching §6.4, and link the updated ranking from docs/research/README.md.
