 ## Newest Work
 
+- MAGATAMA LLM training-pool research expansion on 2026-05-10 UTC:
+  - added a new curated external source ingest file in Magatama:
+    - `training-data/model-registry/external-ingest/llm-lane-research-seeds-2026-05-10.jsonl`
+    - `55` source metadata records across MAGATAMA, FO_BlogLLM, TIP_LLM, PulsoLLM and ContactLLM
+  - added lane-specific curated training/eval supplements:
+    - `magatamallm`: `3 train`, `1 eval`
+    - `fo_blogllm`: `3 train`, `1 eval`
+    - `tip_llm`: `3 train`, `1 eval`
+    - `pulso_llm`: `3 train`, `1 eval`
+    - `contact_llm`: `3 train`, `1 eval`
+  - changed `scripts/runpod_dataset_builder.ts` so every lane automatically picks up supplemental `*.train.jsonl` and `*.valid.jsonl` files in its Gitea learning-pool directory
+  - rebuilt RunPod datasets and model registry locally:
+    - `magatamallm`: `1396 train / 156 eval / 1552 total`
+    - `fo_blogllm`: `17357 train / 1931 eval / 19288 total`
+    - `tip_llm`: `303 train / 35 eval / 338 total`
+    - `pulso_llm`: `54 train / 8 eval / 62 total`
+    - `contact_llm`: `33 train / 6 eval / 39 total`
+  - policy decisions:
+    - no bulk copying of third-party blogs/vendor docs into training pools
+    - use official/OSS/web sources as metadata, provenance, crawler planning, eval, and original SFT behavior examples
+    - TIPLLM remains crawler/research/parser lane
+    - PulsoLLM shares network/transceiver/switch knowledge core but stays customer/support/quote behavior lane
+    - ContactLLM must preserve provenance and avoid private-data overreach
+
 - TIP active-base cleanup continuation on 2026-05-10 UTC:
   - fixed FS.com category leakage:
     - new FS.com `/c/` category/landing rows quarantined

+# LLM Training Pool Research Expansion
+
+Date: 2026-05-10 UTC
+Owner: Codex
+
+## Summary
+
+Codex expanded MAGATAMA's training pools with curated research input for all five active LLM lanes.
+
+The work intentionally avoided copying third-party article/vendor-document bodies. Instead, it added source metadata, provenance-safe source seeds, crawler/evaluation policies, and original SFT examples that teach the desired behavior.
+
+## Files Added In Magatama
+
+- `training-data/model-registry/external-ingest/llm-lane-research-seeds-2026-05-10.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/magatamallm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.train.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/magatamallm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.valid.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/fo_blogllm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.train.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/fo_blogllm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.valid.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/tip_llm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.train.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/tip_llm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.valid.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/pulso_llm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.train.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/pulso_llm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.valid.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/contact_llm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.train.jsonl`
+- `training-data/gitea-learning-pool/contact_llm/curated-web-research-2026-05-10.valid.jsonl`
+
+## Builder Change
+
+`scripts/runpod_dataset_builder.ts` now automatically reads supplemental `*.train.jsonl` and `*.valid.jsonl` files from each lane's Gitea learning-pool directory.
+
+This means future curated research drops can be added as small lane-specific files without manually editing huge `train.jsonl`/`valid.jsonl` files.
+
+## Rebuilt Dataset Counts
+
+- `magatamallm`: `1396 train / 156 eval / 1552 total`
+- `fo_blogllm`: `17357 train / 1931 eval / 19288 total`
+- `tip_llm`: `303 train / 35 eval / 338 total`
+- `pulso_llm`: `54 train / 8 eval / 62 total`
+- `contact_llm`: `33 train / 6 eval / 39 total`
+
+## Lane Policy Notes
+
+- `magatamallm`: cybersecurity, AI security, infrastructure security, proof-before-close, safe remediation, artifact-gated training adoption.
+- `fo_blogllm`: Rene/Flexoptix technical and founder voice, source-backed blogs, no copied source bodies, no fabricated numbers.
+- `tip_llm`: crawler, scraper, parser, robots, search patterns, switch/transceiver/vendor/advisory/forum research.
+- `pulso_llm`: customer-facing Flexoptix/switch/transceiver support, product planning, troubleshooting and quote preparation; never invent SKU, price, stock, warranty or compatibility.
+- `contact_llm`: public business/contact research with source provenance, schema.org/RDAP/PeeringDB/security.txt awareness, robots/privacy guardrails.
+
+## Verification
+
+- JSONL validation passed for all new files.
+- `pnpm exec tsx scripts/runpod_dataset_builder.ts` passed outside sandbox after `tsx` IPC needed host permissions.
+- `pnpm exec tsx scripts/model_registry_build.ts` passed.
+- `git diff --check` passed.
+
+## Follow-Up
+
+- Push Magatama training-pool changes to Gitea.
+- Deploy or pull the updated builder and training-data on Erik before starting the next training run.
+- For the next RunPod training run, verify artifact adoption and version bump per strict success rule.
