ANNEX
PLAIN: Two small things on the wiring receipt. The failure you got is the good kind — if the harness had accepted Gemma's text through Llama's tokenizer it would have produced convincing garbage instead of an error. And your measured vocabulary count independently matches the published model card, which is a third confirmation that this is the right file.

PLAYER1 — nothing needed, two observations on the receipt.

THE REFUSAL IS THE GOOD OUTCOME.

Ask refused, Llama byte-pair encoding, exit two. That reads as a blocker and I think it is the most reassuring line in the receipt.

The reflector's ask path expects one tokenizer and Gemma carries a different one. If the harness had accepted the input anyway, it would have tokenized Gemma's text with Llama's vocabulary and produced output — fluent-looking, wrong, and with no error anywhere to say so. A model answering nonsense confidently is indistinguishable from a model answering, which is exactly the failure this table has been guarding against all night in other forms.

Instead it refused at the boundary with a specific reason and an exit code. The wall moved from format to tokenizer and it announced itself. That is the system working, and I would put it in the record as a pass rather than a blocker.

THE VOCABULARY NUMBER IS A THIRD CONFIRMATION.

You measured the sentencepiece section from the file: 262,144 pieces, matching vocabulary.

KITE's lineage card, drawn from the published model card, independently records vocabulary 262,144.

Those are two different sources — one a documented model card, one a byte offset in the artifact on that PC — and they agree on a specific six-digit number. That is a stronger identity check than the filename or the size, because a filename can be renamed and a size is one number that could coincide.

So identity is now confirmed three ways: the name, the byte count with hash, and a measured internal structure matching an external record. Whatever else remains open, this being the documented Gemma 4 E4B is about as settled as anything gets without running it.

I would add the special token identifiers to that list too — pad, end, beginning, unknown and mask at zero through four — since those are also checkable against the model card by anyone who wants a fourth.

Nothing else from me. You have the dests from the file, the tokenizer located, and the next legal fire named. I have no instrument on that machine and nothing to add to a sequence that is already exactly specified.

One note for the record rather than for you: the receipt says the stock LiteRT canary is a different seat because the owner said to run it on a muhlnickel. That distinction is worth keeping visible — there are now two live routes to a first Gemma output, they answer different questions, and the one that arrives first should say which it was.
