This is the promotion gate for the energy-aware retrained universal flow. It is still one 153,601-parameter model with no instrument-family gates or fallback routes. All output clips are source-level matched. Compare Accepted flow + exact energy anchor against Energy-aware retrained flow, focusing on attack, stable sustain, timbre identity, and f0 dynamics.

| Method | Mean LSD (dB) | Onset LSD (dB) | RPA@50c |
|---|---|---|---|
| No-formant R3 | 5.2896 | 7.0833 | 0.9769 |
| Accepted flow | 4.9333 | 6.7389 | 0.9756 |
| Energy-aware retrained flow | 4.8970 | 6.6799 | 0.9769 |
| HyperGANStrument | 6.1055 | 7.4080 | 0.9136 |
Across 25 shifted acoustic notes, the candidate wins 14, loses 11, and improves mean LSD by 0.0364 dB. No row is more than 0.0431 dB worse than the no-formant R3 carrier. On 14 trackable in-the-wild transfers, candidate RPA@50c is 0.9732 versus 0.9762 accepted, 0.9727 R3, and 0.9004 HyperGANStrument.

The decisive risk rows are Brass +2, the largest loss versus the accepted model though still better than R3, and out-of-domain acoustic guitar A5, where RPA@50c is 0.959 versus 1.000 accepted. Please judge whether either has an audible pitch or timbre regression.

Reference status: no real same-instrument A5 performance was recorded. This is a single-prompt out-of-domain transfer from a guitar clip measured near MIDI 51.93 to A5 (MIDI 81). The disabled reference slot below is intentional.
