Summary

Brings html-guides/ up to date with the 2026-05 Roy persona-convergence iteration work (PRs #244, #246, #247). Three pages touched:

  • maxim-experiments.html — new "Roy Iteration Arc (2026-05)" section, the cross-Roy two-identity-schemes pattern callout, Roy-4 deep dive (pre-registered diagnostic, structural disjointness, food-cluster co-firing analysis, parameter sweep table), and Roy-5a queued reframe. Hero paragraph + meta description bumped.
  • maxim-substrate-primary.html — Roy iteration table extended from Roy-0 only to the full Roy-0 → Roy-4 arc, with the cross-iteration pattern callout and Roy-5 plan reference.
  • maxim-roadmap.html — phase tree + current-state paragraph updated with the Roy arc + Roy-4 cancel + Roy-5 disambiguator entries.

Why

The existing pages stopped at Roy-0 (2026-05-10). Roy-1a/1b/2/2pc/2c/4 shipped between 2026-05-11 and 2026-05-13 and produced the load-bearing empirical findings for the 1.1+ research direction:

  • The cluster-keyed reward wire reproduces 7 iterations in a row (rock-solid).
  • Behavioral expression is gated at LinguisticEncoder → EC alignment (Roy-2c confirmed H1).
  • Roy-4 cancelled the 1.1 Hebbian binding plan via a pre-registered cheap-gate experiment (zero priming↔test bound edges across the entire reasonable parameter sweep).
  • Roy-5 (PR docs(plans): roy_5_encoder_alignment_disambiguator (1.1+ research direction) #247) replaces the cancelled plan with a diagnostic-first reframe whose Stage 1 runs on existing Roy-4 data at zero cost.

Test plan

  • Tag-balance sanity check on all three files (div / section / table / tr / td / tbody / thead all paired)
  • All anchor IDs are unique within the page (existing convention preserved; new roy-iterations, roy-4-deep, roy-5-next IDs introduced for in-page navigation)
  • Cross-link from maxim-substrate-primary.html to /maxim/experiments#roy-iterations for the detailed writeups
  • Visual rendering check — the user's site harness; no local dev server needed for the html-guides flow

…frame

Brings the html-guides/ surface up to date with the 2026-05 Roy
persona-convergence iteration work that landed across PRs #244, #246,
and #247.

maxim-experiments.html:
- New "Roy Iteration Arc (2026-05)" section ahead of the existing
  Experiment 4 (Tier 3) section.
- Iteration timeline table covering Roy-0 through Roy-4 with the
  per-iteration cluster_reward_bias_l2 reproductions (all within ~5%)
  and the single-variable change vs prior iteration.
- "Two identity schemes for one concept" callout explaining the
  cross-Roy pattern: tool-name survives, EC cluster identity doesn't.
- Roy-4 deep dive: pre-registered diagnostic, structural disjointness
  result (zero node-ID overlap), food-cluster co-firing analysis
  (61 ticks fired, 1 with non-food partner), parameter sweep table
  showing FAIL across the entire reasonable range.
- Roy-5a queued section explaining the diagnostic-first reframe and
  the H1a/H1b/H1c sub-hypothesis decoding.
- Hero paragraph + meta description updated to reflect the new work.

maxim-substrate-primary.html:
- Extended Roy iteration table from Roy-0 only to include the full
  arc Roy-1a/1b/2/2pc/2c/4 with per-iteration findings.
- Cross-iteration pattern callout (tool-name vs cluster-identity).
- Roy-4 outcome paragraph + Roy-5 plan reference.
- Cross-link to the detailed experiment writeups on maxim-experiments.

maxim-roadmap.html:
- Phase-tree ASCII updated with Roy iteration arc + Roy-4 cancel +
  Roy-5 reframe entries.
- Current-state paragraph extended with the encoder-alignment
  localization, 0.9.1 Wire-A framing, and 1.1+ Roy-5 disambiguator
  plan reference.

No content changes elsewhere; all touched files pass tag-balance
sanity check.
