## 2c. What the bisect found and the fix (7 October 2026, 12:1x to 12:2x UK)
| Job | Result |
|---|---|
| `run-ia-arc-family-20261007` and `-b` | every family exact on Intel's compiler, `mulhi` and `mad` included (60 rows, 0 `exact=no`) |
| `run-ia-arc-trace-20261007-b` | the first divergence at snapshot 7, instruction `6 rotr` (`r0 = rotr_var(r0, r2)`, r0 d1affd94, n f183b605): CPU a68d7fec = rotr(x, 5), the Arc 35ffb29a = rotl(x, 5): Intel's compiler folds `rotate(x, (0u - n) & 31u)` into a LEFT rotate by n; the same in both exchange modes |
| the fix | commit 26e135a3: `proto-opencl/intel_rotr.h` rewrites the one helper line to the shift form on an Intel platform before the build (host.c's buildProgram and the prepare path); `proto-opencl/test_intel_rotr.c` in the pre-push gate (Intel rewritten, AMD and NVIDIA untouched); taken into release-0.3.20 by the shipper as 9088293a |
| `run-ia-arc-trace-20261007-c` | with the fix, the local-exchange trace equals the CPU's in all 55,809 snapshots (the sub-group trace kernel alone diverges at a shuffle: the divergent lane-0 store before a sub-group shuffle, a trace-kernel artefact; the real kernel's vectors pass) |
| `run-ia-arc-bench-20261007-d` | self-test PASS on every pack, fingerprints equal to the Mac's and the 5090's; 11.011 MH/s on class v4, 11.019 on the v3 control, 11.002 on the live pack, 10.882 local exchange; the bench-log row and the card-picker entry |
## 3. Dry run
The playbooks are PowerShell; this Mac has no `pwsh` (the Homebrew cask is gone from the tap and the Command Line Tools are too old for a cask install today), so the Mac-side dry run against the UI mock (`node tools/ui-mock/server.mjs 4310` with `?scenario=intel`, whose `api/state` carries the Intel row) is owed until a PowerShell is on the Mac (Microsoft's pkg, the project lead's word for the download). What stands in: the driver playbook ran live on PC 1 twice with the same helper shapes (Stamp, Summary, the adapter and worker-list readers), and the four CI checks pass on both scripts (`kit-path-check`, `ps-drive-ref-check`, `kill-by-name-check`, `playbook-quit-check`).
