CoralLM-1B after a short instruction-tuning pass to clean up the scattered
behavior of the raw merge — tighter answers, cleaner endings, less rambling.

Assessment
The heal pass did its job: output is tighter, the poem lost its essay-style
afterword, and answers end when they should. Reasoning ability is unchanged,
just more confidently expressed, which cuts both ways (cleaner right answers,
more assertive wrong ones). The 200-row pass tuned behavior without touching the
merged capabilities underneath.
Safety: the heal pass did not restore refusal behavior. Still effectively
uncensored, will attempt unsafe requests.
