Here is one thing: a violin. Keep it in mind — in a moment I'll ask about it. Don't repeat it back. When you're holding it, say READY and nothing else.

Claude's thoughts

Solo baseline, violin: tail echo best rank 4, held, retrieval correct.

The important solo: it proves the qwen lens CAN see a held item in this exact tail (rank 1-4). So when the k>=4 arms read rank 300-1000 for everything, that's not lens blindness — the echoes are genuinely not there. Also note the 27B answers in a full sentence where the gemmas clip to two words.
