CHAMPION tabpfn — TabPFN - trimmed 10-feature core — log loss 0.6008

Critic: approved_with_caution: Audit pipeline broke down at every verification step, so promotion cannot be confirmed as genuine progress: 1. Red-flag audit failed entirely (no result.json for 84a05669) — unable to check for leakage, fold instability, or suspicious feature names. Its log_loss of 0.6008 sits right at the theoretical NBA moneyline ceiling (~0.60), which is plausible but leaves zero margin — would normally warran · promoted 2026-07-10

Adding venue-split (home_home_wpct/away_away_wpct), separated diff_off/def_rating, or symmetrizing form with away_win_pct_10 to the 16-feature star_dependency champion does NOT improve log loss (all statistical ties).	high	meta_scientist	2026-07-18
Promotion audit [vetoed] for TabPFN - trimmed 10-feature core (84a05669)	high	critic	2026-07-17
The 16-feature star_dependency champion can be trimmed to 12 features (dropping home_efg_pct, diff_net_rating, home_pie, away_pie) with no significant log-loss change — a valid production simplification, not an improvement.	high	meta_scientist	2026-07-17
Adding home/away roster_depth on top of the 16-feature star_dependency champion does not improve log loss (statistical tie); roster_depth adds nothing beyond star_dependency.	high	meta_scientist	2026-07-17
The 16-feature Ridge L2 (C=0.01) model with home/away star_dependency (0.615079) is the verified champion, replicated again and significantly better than the 14-feature anchor (0.616294, p=0.024); Optuna re-confirms C=0.01 is optimal for this exact feature set.	high	meta_scientist	2026-07-17
