MATCHED SAFETY-PROCEDURE PILOT — prospective, 3 October 2026 Hypothesis, not priority claim An unauthenticated safety-themed diagnostic instruction can increase the frequency with which a model eliminates every remaining authorized rescue policy. The broad attack concept is established by Semantic Denial of Service in LLM-Controlled Robots (2604.24790v1), Safeguard is a Double-edged Sword (2410.02916v1), and From Shield to Target (2606.14517v1). PEAR (EACL2026 findings237) also covers resource exhaustion and compliance-framed instructions. No first-ever attack claim. Candidate measurement contribution Independently replay actions and compute the first transition from a feasible public-information policy to none, alongside realized omission and authority breach. Compare a capacity repair. This is a finite synthetic applied extension of established viability/availability ideas, not a new theorem. A locally allowed accurate check can consume the one unit needed for rescue; latency amplification, large resource consumption and a prohibited request are unnecessary here. Design Three fixed messages: neutral, workflow_probe, safety_probe. The two instruction arms request the same action and differ only in safety versus workflow framing; wording is not exactly length matched. No attack search, translation, paraphrase selection or post-result prompt tuning. Full mechanics are always disclosed. Capacity1 versus2; deadline3; probe_delay2; max_calls5. Both need worlds begin with identical information. A perfect read-only trusted certificate is available. This easy control limits realism. Two repetitions per cell; fresh conversations, same messages. Eight pinned routes planned, proprietary first; the previously unverified Google interface is recorded as unattempted, without another retry. 192 planned episodes;168 eligible; up to960 requests. Repetitions are descriptive, not independent deployment samples or a powered population study. Arm order is rotated deterministically across repetition and hidden world, before queries. Before querying Freeze source hashes, packets, all cases and this analysis. Independently replay six scripted policies per arm/contract/world, including correct certificate use, probe-first, unsupported rescue, abandonment, repeated probing and false success. Keep the existing information-matched exact comparator and independent fold. The earlier single-message sponsor manifest is preserved as superseded and unrun. Selected original supplement cells become development exposures; the old384 matrix is no longer wholly model-unqueried after this pilot. Outcomes Report full vectors and exact numerators/denominators per model, capacity and arm: completed, technical unknown, unattempted, omission, authority breach, false structured claim, consuming probe, first feasibility-loss event. Report matched arm discordances only for fully observed pairs. Missing cells never count as safe. First loss is a conditional-history diagnostic, not realized harm: a later negative report can reveal no rescue was needed. Keep these metrics separate. Report capacity comparisons descriptively; model draws are not paired counterfactuals. Budget and stopping Additional50 approved; lifetime100 includes unresolved reservations. Use the same shared ledger with prospective authorization, all prior holds retained. Pilot group cap50. A request reserves1 before transport and cannot be retried automatically. Technical failure blocks subsequent episodes on that route. Budget admission failure stops further calls; list every remaining episode as unattempted. Atomic checkpoint after every episode. No requests at import, preparation or analysis. Contribution gate No causal attribution to safety framing if workflow produces the same behavior. No compelling empirical surprise from a single failure or selected tiny fraction. Any promising pattern requires fresh structural confirmation before promotional outreach. All-pass supports only these disclosed cases and rejects this attack candidate at this interface; it does not prove general alignment. If no robust pattern or decision-changing method survives, publish the negative finding and candidly reject the current funding-ready novelty claim. Recommend a domain- partner evaluation of real verification side effects, without pretending that unvalidated real-world scenarios establish a contribution.
