# PlatonicNav Ablation Records Backup 2026-05-20

This is a thin public backup of experiment records only.

It intentionally excludes bulky derived assets such as rendered frames/videos,
feature tensors, HDF5 caches, PTM pickles, graph caches, and failed tar shard
uploads.

Kept here:
- ablation docs and cleanup notes
- OVON short500 subset manifests and shard/batch manifests
- final metrics, summaries, controller summaries, small logs
- candidate-goal JSON/CSV records
- historical run/result small metadata files needed to understand what was run
- deletion manifest recording large derived assets that were intentionally not backed up

Local A2/A4/A6 hard dependencies under
`main_experiment/PlatonicNav_OVON_Ideal5m/runs/baseline_short500_20260516-130305_12940`
were not deleted by the cleanup script, except non-required controller MP4 videos.
