ab_judge.py (kannaka-memory master 1b01652, unmodified, grade mode), judge qwen2.5:14b, n=30, seed 7, both arms at the production Modelfile with temperature 0.7 per request. Reference: Kannaka's held-out voice set (111 rows), which stays private and is not quoted anywhere.

Mean grade 1-10: 7b-v2 2.03 +- 0.27; E3 2.00 +- 0.26; controls: the reference itself 10.0, another prompt's reference 1.2 (separation 8.8, judge usable). Gate, written before the run: E3 no lower than 7b-v2 minus 2 SE = 1.49. Pass.

Limits: both arms sit near this judge's floor, so the pass means no loss the judge can see, not that her voice survived. Two descriptive numbers, not part of the gate: reading-mode phrasing in 1 of 30 E3 conversational replies (0 of 30 for 7b-v2), and E3 replies about 21% shorter.
