Conditional independence must hold after conditioning not only on the latent true label but also on observed features of the annotation task, because this allows shared sources of measurement difficulty to be accounted for.
The framework assumes proxy measurements are independent conditional on the true label and observed features such as text complexity, difficulty, or embeddings; the paper discusses this as the core identification assumption.

The measured value of a prompt depends substantively on how the artifact is defined; semantically inert random padding can receive nearly the full description-length value even when it contributes nothing to the artifact's substantive content.
The paper gives constructions in which a random suffix is appended to a proof or other artifact and supplied by the prompt, causing the prompt to capture nearly the suffix's description length.
