-- 2026-10-04: A4H memory: Docker VM 36 GB (was 64 GB = all RAM), container 32 GB; swap went from 15 GB to 1.4 GB.
-  Baseline switched to thinking off (`enable_thinking: false` per request); thinking-on results kept in
-  `runs/stage1/baseline_thinking_on.json`. Loop guard (3 identical pushes) and per-run activation error records
-  added (`harness/agents.py`, `harness/proxy.py`, `harness/runner.py`, `train/baseline.py`).
