MALE5-ML LIFECYCLE SIDECAR

Artifact class: GOVERNANCE / DESIGN RECORD (per-family lifecycle sidecar) Research family: MALE5-ML — multivariate MALE5 classifier research Scientific result: UNKNOWN Engineering path: VERIFIED (EQF1 runner integration + parallel retry harness) This sidecar: records the lifecycle state of every MALE5-ML artifact so the repository can always distinguish a frozen protocol from an execution attempt and from computation-blocked status. It grants NO execution authorization, changes no scientific state, and is not scientific evidence itself.

current gate	MALE5-ML-EXECUTION (BLOCKED)
scientific status	UNKNOWN — computation blocked; no valid MALE5 real-data result

LIFECYCLE STATES — MUST NOT BE CONFLATED

1. PROTOCOL FROZEN

• male5-ml-v0.1.0-frozen — original protocol; DESIGN FROZEN — EXECUTION NOT AUTHORIZED; preserved as historical identity, never overwritten (MALE5_ML_PROTOCOL.md, MALE5_ML_MANIFEST.json).
• male5-ml-v0.1.1-frozen — amended protocol; amends ONLY the dependency identity and implementation description (dependency = MALE5-v3.2.0-EQF1); no scientific/statistical/economic design element changed; DESIGN FROZEN — EXECUTION NOT AUTHORIZED at design time (MALE5_ML_PROTOCOL_v0.1.1_AMENDED.md, MALE5_ML_MANIFEST_v0.1.1_AMENDED.json).
• Dependency amendment identity: MALE5_ML_DEPENDENCY_AMENDMENT_REPORT.md (Status: A. AMENDMENT FROZEN — READY FOR EXECUTION AUTHORIZATION) and MALE5_v3.2.0_CANONICAL_DEPENDENCY_FINALIZATION.md.

2. EXECUTION ATTEMPT

• ONE controlled real-data execution attempted under male5-ml-v0.1.1-frozen with MALE5-v3.2.0-EQF1 (H60 OOS = the 3,169 frozen origins in results/R2-H/origins_H060.csv). Machine outcome: 0 / 3,169 predictions produced.

3. COMPUTATION BLOCKED

• The full 3,169-origin causal expanding walk-forward is not computable in the available execution window (~39–63 h inferred). Recorded as: COMPUTATION_BLOCKED (MALE5_ML_EXECUTION_MANIFEST.json), HARD_STOP_INFEASIBLE (MALE5_ML_EXECUTION_FAILURE_EVIDENCE.json).

Classification guardrails:

• COMPUTATION_BLOCKED must never be converted into NULL.
• ENGINEERING_PASS must never be converted into SCIENTIFIC_PASS.

---

AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENTS

• scientific result = UNKNOWN (no valid MALE5 real-data result exists)
• engineering path = verified (EQF1 runner integration VERIFIED; parallel retry harness VERIFIED)
• next gate = execution retry on larger allocation
• NO EXECUTION AUTHORIZATION is granted by this document. The next gate opens only on separate owner authorization (see RESEARCH_STATE.md).
