Changed it to a denoiser and its now rock solid. It takes around 8 seconds to get to stable voltage of 12.81 under load. The transistor is directly jumpered to R16s closest pad. The dnoiser is better than running the regulator without one.View attachment 1348261
Let me understand. So you the Denoiser version designed by Diego that had two transistors, and changed to the Denoiser designed by Elvee that has just one transistor, and the oscillation ended?
 
Which grounding approach is most appropriate for PCB? Full ground plane?
Is separating the regulator circuit from the "high" current output more appropriate? (image attached)

*Same question for the positive track, is taking the reference of everything from the output capacitor the most appropriate?

Is this a complete power supply that has the denoizer circuit incorporated into it?
Can this be modified to provide +50vdc and -50vdc?
Thank you for the clarification
The LM317HV is limited to 60V, which is too close to 50V for comfort, and AFAIK, there is no 337HV.
Yes, people will tell you that the regulator only sees the difference between in and out, but that's the theory. In practice, things always end with molten silicon

Don't overthink the layout more than necessary.

and connect the two small arrows of the denoiser directly to the load.
There is no need for further complications. Preferably use 10nF for C2, to be on the safe side
Does top of R4 need to be connected close to load? That only supplies power to denoiser. I only run positive side of C1 as sense on output of PCB. And emitter of Q1 to ground output of PCB.
