Ship Grok 5×8 white/IDS packing and universal IDS/factsheet plumbing while
keeping DEFAULT_MODEL_BASES Fable-only: live pure-image Grok is not
Fable-level; image+factsheet is the working exact path.
Chart shows Grok as a text-window series only (no Grok+pxpipe overlay) and
Fable as the measured pxpipe density point. Add Codex-path quality harnesses
and receipts (multi-seed, fix-matrix, shipped smoke).
Grok was imaging on the Responses path with no readability data. Add
eval/grok-density: density ladder, climb receipts, and a live
image-vs-factsheet comparison on grok-4.5.
Findings locked into the receipts:
- Production 5x8 image-only confabulates exact IDs (0/4).
- Image + factsheet clears 4/4 exact, 0 confab, gist+guard ok (~70%
fixture savings).
- Looser pure-image packing can clear exact recall but only ~30%
savings — not worth the default.
Supports keeping Grok opt-in with dense 5x8 + factsheet when enabled.
