Honest negative: MTP-aux at beta 0.15 / 3 steps scored 5.0853 full-set windowed DER vs the 4.5218 gate and the 4.8218 control (+0.26pp); registered prediction 4.5-4.75 missed. Teacher reproduces 2.289 — harness intact. Confound fully disclosed: the run was preempted at ~8,650 and resumed from a checkpoint whose head write was interrupted, so the final 23 percent of steps trained with a re-initialized aux head — the delta cannot be cleanly split between MTP-aux and the perturbation, and a clean rerun is the optional follow-up. Nothing shipped; the shipped artifact stays vanilla. E6 (Tashkeela mix) unaffected and still training.
