What

  • Spec heb-diac-small-s46-layerdrop (item 04, TODO.publish-client):
    cross-lingual replication of the depth-cut finding — encoder 12->6
    verbatim copy, single variable vs run-002-s46
  • Wiring: _maybe_stitch now runs in the logit-KD custom-config
    branch when layer_drop is set. Previously only the sequence path
    stitched; a layerdrop spec on the logit path would have trained
    random-init and collapsed by the capacity law

Verification

  • Full suite green
  • The training log's [spec] layer_drop_state from google/byt5-small
    line is the observable that the pretrained init engaged

…eplication

Item 04: the Arabic width/depth finding replicated on Hebrew — encoder
12->6 verbatim layer copy from pretrained ByT5-small, single variable
vs run-002-s46 (same s46 teacher, hebrew-v4 corpus, 3 epochs). Wires
_maybe_stitch into the logit-KD custom-config branch so depth-cut
students keep the pretrained init there too (previously random-init,
which the capacity law rejects).
