\section*{Adaptive Tuning Implementation Audit (November 2025)}

A November 2025 audit assessed implementation status across ten subsystems of
the StarForth physics engine adaptive tuning architecture. Opportunity~1
(decay slope inference) was confirmed complete. Opportunities 2--5 (variance-based
window width tuning, decay rate DoE, rolling window sizing, and hotwords cache
threshold) were assessed as pending. The remaining five (binary search validation,
ML prefetch, NUMA placement, dictionary reorganization, and SIMD) were deferred.

All pending and deferred items from this audit have since been addressed through
the DoE experimental program and subsequent implementation work. The audit is
retained as a historical snapshot of the implementation state at that date.
