Run T-0235 rejected

· Evidence: SPRT Sequential probability ratio test. Games are played until the accumulated evidence reaches one of two bounds or the game limit fixed in advance; then the test stops.

Hypothesis

Restricting positive singular extensions so that from singular fresh depth 7, when found depth equals search depth minus the singular table flatter offset, the TT Transposition table: a cache of already searched positions, keyed by a hash of the position. extension remains zero despite an excluded score below s_beta is expected to make the engine play stronger. All other aspects, including admission, exclusion search, multi-cut, negative extension steps, and check extensions when TT extension remains zero, are kept unchanged.

Point estimate with the reported 95-percent half-width, per stage. The dashed line is zero. Estimates from a stopped sequential test are biased by the stopping rule; the interval is nominal.
