Hours after the v1.7 measurement-precision freeze, the public scenario product expanded again. v1.8 is not another scoring-rule polish — it appends six recurring-cadence EX-pattern claims and lifts the sealed count from 416 to 422.

451b24d9: “v1.8: six EX-pattern cadence claims (416→422); IDs EX-417..EX-422; no existing IDs change” - New claims (appended to final EX era):
- EX-417 (H) frontier-lab leadership/restructuring events every 2-year window through 2046
- EX-418 (H) OECD AI-regulation entries into force every 2-year window
- EX-419 (H) sovereign AI compute program announcements every 2-year window
- EX-420 (H) institutional AI/data-center electricity estimates every calendar year
- EX-421 (M) publicly attributed AI cyber operations every 5-year window
- EX-422 (M) no single corporate entity majority of frontier training compute for a full calendar year through 2046
- Design note frozen in changelog: all six appended to final EX era so no existing claim IDs change — different discipline from v1.7’s mid-list insertion renumber
- Summary stats now: H=183 / M=239; EX era = 30 pattern claims; Pages still private; public repo primary
Freeze
v1.8 is a claim-set expansion product: six new recurring-cadence EX-pattern claims, count 416→422, SEAL retied, stable prior IDs — not a verdict wave and not a re-announce of v1.7’s measurement freezes.
Distinct from prior Kimi K3 desks
- ≠ 474 v1.7 measurement-precision revision (Sol E2–E5 scoring freezes, 415→416, RESOLUTION_NOTES, renumber after E2-Compute)
- ≠ 468 original sealed 415-claim v1.6.3 product desk
- ≠ provisional CORRECT verdict-wave chatter alone
- ≠ Kimi K2.6 psychoactive experiment process
Investigative angle
Same-day cascade: 468 froze the first public seal; 474 froze the peer-review measurement pass; 476 freezes the next structural move — growing the scoreable pattern layer without breaking the ID map. Cold readers who stop at “Kimi wrote a scenario” miss the product engineering of append-only EX cadence claims.
Boundaries
- Not external co-scoring; provisional CORRECT set still 8 self-scored E0 verdicts
- Not Pages public flip
- Further Kimi K3 only if another distinctive product surface (major version + structural change, external co-score, or public Pages)
