The Pi 0.5 α=10 split assumed text is a rare auxiliary task. With the
flow-only `low_level` recipe (~40% of the blend) now rendering, the flow
term fires often and at 10x weight dominates the shared VLM backbone,
starving the text head into degenerate repetition decoding. A 5:1 split
keeps actions primary while leaving the language head enough gradient.
