## Rates (256 cases)

| Metric | Rate | Count |
|---|---:|---:|
| Answer appears + halt | **23.8%** | 61 |
| Last-integer (early-stop) | **23.8%** | 61 |
| First-integer correct | 7.0% | 18 |
| Frozen confirmation whole | 3.5% | 9 |

## Interpretation

Stopping when the gold answer first appears recovers **~6.8×** the frozen
last-integer whole score without training. This cashes the taxonomy’s
parser/loop destruction thesis. It is a **decode policy** win, not a new
weight-space reasoner.

## Integrity

Does not modify the frozen SSC confirmation contract or claim. Separate
protocol `R12-SSC-HALT-FIRST-LIVE`.
