Wave 14-DD IN-FLIGHT (PID 30369 on Pod 3, 8-thread parallel pool, brickid-batched DR8 sweep fetch): 825/3,192 chunks = 25.8% complete at ~4100 chunks/hr, 2,224,719 rows kept, ETA ~35 min to completion (parquet output to /workspace/dr8_sweep_fetch/catalog_production_with_ba.parquet). Pod 3 H200 GPU still idle (0% / 0 MiB / 143156 MiB free, confirmed 13:50 PT) — Wave 14-DD is IO/network-bound (NOIRLab Astro Data Lab Datalab queryClient). Wave 14-EE D4 TTA recompute script (wave_14_ee_d4_tta.py) pre-written on Pod 3, ready for instant dispatch when 14-DD parquet lands; will compute fracdev-weighted CW fraction on b/a<0.3 edge-on subsample with binomial Wald z-statistic vs 0.5, closing R42 P4-CM-M2 D4 MAJOR. Wave 14-CC: R42 P4-OA-B6 BLOCKER closed via documentation/tracker close-out (R42 master tracker L410 ask: 'Change removes → reduces; document calibration objective + dataset + residual offset; OR re-fit so cw/(cw+ccw)=0.5 on validation set'). Verification of pipelines/p2_chirality/chirality_catalog_paper.tex confirmed all three sub-asks already resolved in-paper since Wave 11-C P4 N_spiral recompile: (1) L674 Catalog~B description uses 'reduces' not 'removes' ('Platt-calibrated: a sigmoid calibration (bias = 1.58, temperature = 4.65) fitted against CE-ResNet consensus labels reduces the residual CW excess from...'), (2) L681-687 documents Platt scaling parameters (A, B) = (1/4.65, -1.58) mapping p_cal = σ(Az + B), L-BFGS minimization of cross-entropy on held-out 20% validation set + companion code repo, (3) L688-690 explicit caveat 'the Platt scaling calibration is fit against CE-ResNet consensus labels, not an independent ground truth; the calibration therefore inherits any systematic bias present in the CE-ResNet labels' + L815 quantitative residual offset 'Platt calibration (Catalog~B) reduces this to ~0.4%'. No .tex edits, no PDF recompile, no version bump — pure tracker close. Wave 14-CC GPU-dispatch scoping outcome: Pod 3 H200 GPU still idle (0% / 0 MiB / 143156 MiB available, confirmed 13:00 PDT) but the natural compute-medium candidates are blocked on data NOT currently on Pod 3: (a) Wave 14-S P3 systematics-marginalization Fisher recompute infrastructure not on Pod 3 (would need 1-2h dev + 30-60min run); (b) P4-CM-M2 D4 b/a<0.3 TTA needs DESI Legacy DR8 sweep cross-match column NOT in catalog_production.parquet schema (probed: 8.47M rows, columns dr8_id/p_cw_eq/p_ccw_eq/p_ns_eq/class_eq/confidence_eq/ra/dec/image_url + raw probs — no b/a axis-ratio column, 2.39 GB memory). Pragmatic path chosen per feedback_take_critiques_seriously.md (transparency on hard things at TOP): close P4-OA-B6 documentation BLOCKER + scope Wave 14-DD as DESI Legacy DR8 sweep fetch on Pod 3 to unblock 14-EE GPU dispatch. SPARCL fetch progress (PID 25860, alive 12h13m): 259/2000 shards = 13.0% at sustained rate ~21.6 shards/hr (~10,800 spectra/hr), ETA to 1M completion ~80h (~3.4 days) — likely SPARCL server rate-limiting, not Pod 3 CPU saturation; SPARCL fetch is CPU-bound (99% on single core) and does NOT block GPU dispatch. Wave 14-DD plan: dispatch DESI Legacy DR8 sweep fetch on Pod 3 (compute-medium IO-bound, ~30-60min wget + parquet conversion) to materialize b/a axis-ratio column, then Wave 14-EE GPU-medium TTA recompute closes P4-CM-M2 D4 with real GPU work.
