B found gate 2's variable and it was in my file. rig.setFabric() had exactly one
call site (RiggingSession.commit) and the shipped path never reached it, because
rigSail went straight to rig.attach(). The game's rig has flown the waterproof
membrane at full wind load every night of every playtest while every card said
shade cloth.
Reproduced the bug here before fixing it: fresh boot read rig.porosity 0 against
session.fabric shade cloth (0.3). After the wire, through the real Enter key:
0.3 and 0.3, agreeing.
B's table now reproduces in the SHIPPED GAME — the third harness, and the one
that was lying. Night 5, the yard's pinned recipe by hand, committed with Enter:
p5 5.10 / p2 3.08 / p3 1.81 / p1 2.96, 0/4 lost, garden 63.5 inside the pinned
tattered-win band. B's bench: 5.11 / 3.07 / 1.78 / 2.97, 0/4. Before the fix the
same recipe broke p2 at 3.48 and p3 at 3.90 — D's cold play to the decimal.
Both routes, neither redundant: B's 4th argument is the better contract
(dev_rigging.html has no session and had the identical bug), but their commit()
passes it on lane/b — so on this branch the argument alone would have been inert
until integration, against B's own "until this lands the sim still flies the
membrane". rigSail takes the argument and falls back to session.fabric, the
expression this file already read for the paperwork. At merge the argument wins;
delete the fallback then.
⚠️ This makes the shipped game EASIER than every playtest ever run — the $80
clean-win line was tuned on cloth and played on membrane. D must re-fly the week.
⚠️ My retracted emergency balance number now has TWO contaminations pushing in
opposite directions, so its sign is unknown, not just its size. Fully withdrawn.
Selftest 539/0/0, unchanged.

0.80 adopted as E proposed, reasoning endorsed not re-derived: it earns the
highest rung below the sail post because it is the only palette structure BUILT
to be tied to, and it stops short of 1.00 for section rather than condition.
De-rating honest steel for looking dangerous is the corroded post's lie
inverted, and one of those on a ladder is a trap — two is a pattern the player
learns to distrust generally, which would cost the rust post its teeth. The
"it usually holds" half is ruled IN explicitly: the lesson is "the same failure
has a different price depending on what is underneath it".
Palette hunk applied verbatim to editor.js (eighth application), with E's three
warnings carried into the code. HIDDEN on bare lane/a by `requires` — the
self-healing seam that filter was written for — so it appears by itself at merge
with no third commit. ANCHOR_TYPE widening ENDORSED, deliberately NOT duplicated.
E asked for a second one-variable law (a new TIER must not debut with the
callout). I built it, measured it on E's own poisoned scenario, and it returned
ZERO offences: rule 2 already requires the emergency's yard to be rigged by a
strictly earlier night, so every tier resident in that yard necessarily debuts
on that earlier ordinary job. Permanently green for a structural reason — the
exact shape of my own S17 stormsToPreload filing. Deleted rather than shipped;
the measurement lives in board.js beside the rule it would have extended.
⚖️ Gate 5: the gnome BELONGS in exposureOf and stays — the two harnesses differ
because they answer two questions, and that difference is legitimate where
$45-vs-$90 was not. After E's world.js hunks the remaining delta should be
exactly the gnome and nothing else.
Selftest 539/0/0.

Eyes on the cards found what the suite structurally cannot:
· the board advertised $57 while the dispatch quoted $114 one click apart — the
quote-vs-settle lie walking back in through an unreachable closure inside
boot(). pricedOffers is now the exported pure priceOffer(), rigRecordFor's
precedent, and the bug has its own pin.
· the emergency wore the same grey "callout" tag as the Tuesday alternative
beside it — the tell rule broken on the surface the tell rule is for.
· the invoice argued with itself: the ledger said CB1 "is not on you" and the
verdict blamed CB1. verdictFor now reads `yours`, and the ruling is extracted
as answerableFor() so the RULING is pinnable, not just its consequences.
· the shop lied by $20 — the session charged me for the cowboy's carabiners.
· "the Hendersons IS expecting you", live, on the ruling's headline line.
Gate 5 (A's half): collateralKeyClashes() turns D's second-rust-post landmine
into a tripwire carrying both harnesses' numbers. It reports and does not throw
(D and E are authoring in parallel), and it deliberately does NOT make
exposureOf dedupe — the card is the honest side, the failure route is what needs
per-instance keys, and matching a bug converts a loud disagreement into a quiet
lie.
⚠️ RETRACTED IN THREADS: my $180 balance measurement is contaminated. C found
SailRig.step accepts `t` and never reads it, so setPhase('storm',{at:30}) moves
the sky and not the cloth (4.12× understated load, 93× light rain). B must not
rule the garden bonus against my $38. The TELL survives — CB1 still blows at
t≈33 — the ECONOMY does not.
Selftest 539/0/0 — 522 + 17, the exact sum. 19 mutations, all red with their own
words, controls green.

setPhase('storm', {at}) is the whole engine change: windTime() already returns
phaseT during a storm, tick() already ends at STORM_LEN, so an emergency night
is 60s long inside weather that is already working. No new phase.
EMERGENCIES, scheduled per night, not a POOL entry — a seventh pool entry would
re-roll every night's draw, and the one-variable law needs an author to place a
set-piece. Diffed the whole week against HEAD: exactly one line moved, and what
it replaced was corner_block_southerly — the same yard and the same storm as an
ordinary job. The job type is literally the only variable.
⚖️ Rulings: emergency rate ×2.0 (DESIGN.md line 29, canon, UNMEASURED-by-play);
a corner that ARRIVED broken bills nothing, wrecks nothing, books no warranty
and costs no standing (`theirs` on the rig record — without it the game charges
you for a cowboy's carabiner and books you a free callout to fix his work); the
inherited steel does not come home; the ute carries one free spare, or triage is
a verb with no object.
THE ONE-VARIABLE LAW IS NOW CODE: oneVariableOffences() accuses, offersFor()
throws, three-way vacuity guard. E's glasshouse cannot be the emergency's debut
stage no matter who wires what.
The DISPATCH is defined by its refusals: no schedule, no total, no AMOUNT DUE —
nobody costed this job. It prints the call, C's mid-storm read (feature-detected
through a namespace import), the rig that is already up with the down corners
marked ON THE GROUND, and the rate. Pinned in DOM, refusals included.
Seams live and waiting: B's breakCorner door, C's midStormRead, D's cutAway
event (tallied, carried to the settlement, printed on the invoice).
Selftest 535/0/0 — 528 + 7, the exact sum.

John's ruling, 2026-07-25 ("it adds pressure"), wired end to end.
REP.STOOD_UP = -0.5, the exact mirror of REP.CLEAN: a stood-up client costs
you what a flawless night earns. Bounded above by REP.COLLATERAL so a broken
promise cannot outrank a wrecked carport. UNMEASURED per house rule; it is the
lever, not CLEAN.
isBooked(kind, night) — the diary is booked, the phone is not, and an emergency
in the diary's chair is not a booking. The first cut derived it from the night
alone and the pool yard came back booked; the probe caught it in one call.
take() records the broken promise, settle() charges it at dawn — charging inside
take() drops standing between the board and the sheet, and the fee is priced off
standing. That is the quote-vs-settle lie moved one card earlier.
Three surfaces off one ledger: the offer card prints the cost before the choice
in the client's own terms, the job sheet says they have not forgotten, the
invoice carries an OFF THE BOARD block. Two callouts and no booked job reads as
free, in words, with a vacuity guard behind it.

Two Lane D sessions ran gates 3.2 + 4 in parallel; found via push rejection.
Their site_04_pool_yard + seven-night cold-play (515/0/0) STAND — dropped my
whole duplicate cut (a second, two-corroded-post pool yard + a second cold-play),
did not force, did not rebase over theirs. Verified their tree green (515/0/0)
before adding a line.
Additive-only: a measured receipt for their second-rust-post landmine (a real
two-post yard splits the exposure harnesses, exposureOf $115 vs
collateralExposure $45 — C's gate-1.2 cross going red by construction); and an
independent live repro of C's night-7 board-card omission (card "33 km/h · fine
pea stones" vs sheet "rain heavy · 44 mm/hr · hail likely") flagged as the #1
board fix. Scratch merge judged the wider tree (main + newest b/c) at 517/0/0,
per-lane sum verified, nothing lost.

designed loss and the fabric bet on the spine. THE WEEK HELD 7/7 · 6/7 · $401
· star 0.0 · 5 warranty jobs. Filed: the pinned wildnight recipe loses corners
in the played game (gardenfly says 0/4 — find the variable); the clean/marginal
boundary at the $5 tier sells lines the real game breaks; the designed-loss
night is dodgeable at zero premium (S18's saying-no question, now with a case);
same-client double offer reads odd on N7. Final tree 515/0/0.

The piece the 0.2/0.3/2 pass explicitly deferred. Pins E's corroded tier
through the card's own pricing surfaces, off E's real resolver (not a
hand-typed 0.55):
- STEEL half (rigging.selftest): factoryExtras('corroded_post') -> hint 0.55
+ collateral key; _effRating on a corroded corner is rating x 0.55, so the
same load a carabiner holds on a sound post is over a carabiner on a
corroded one. The rust costs a tier.
- COLLATERAL half (gardenfly.selftest, real dressed world): a node-less
corroded placement -> collateralFor = 'the corroded post', summed by
collateralExposure -- through the resolver, not the baked GLB value direct
(the carport-to-null shortcut).
Cross-lane seam: the tier lives on lane/e, so both pins skip-with-disclosure
on bare lane/b (SKIPPED, visible in the report) and go live at integration.
Measured GREEN on a scratch merge of lane/a + lane/e (hint 0.55, collateral
). Browser 485/3/0, node sail 47/47 rigging 29/29.
Test-only + THREADS; adopted the landed 0.2/0.3/2 unchanged rather than

Landed ON TOP of f029274 with not one line of it changed. Two Lane C sessions
ran gate 1 in parallel; I found out by having my push rejected. forecastHonest
answers "can the forecast describe this STORM" and is better than the storm-side
half I had written, so mine is deleted. These are the two things it structurally
cannot reach — it takes a def, not a pairing, and it never touches the card.
weather.js is +180/-0. The only line of theirs I touch anywhere is widening one
c.test import from { NIGHTS } to { NIGHTS, nightAt }.
1. THE OFFER BAND, and the finding that motivates it. A's card prints f.wind
and f.stones, and under that pair NIGHT 7 LIES:
soaker (scripted) gusts to ~55 km/h · fine pea stones
early buster (alt) gusts to ~76 km/h · pea stones
On both printed lines the soaker is the softer job. It is not: 14.9s of hail
against 2.4s, 44 mm/hr against 16.5. The soaker's whole design is that its
wind reads gentle and its hail is the trap, so the board recommended the trap
in the storm's own voice. offerBand(def, lead) returns an ORDERED LIST, so
the forecast decides which facts a night carries and a card cannot drop the
next one added — same construction as A's stormsToPreload(nights, pool).
Verified in the real card on :8826.
Second finding: storm_03 and storm_03b are identical in every number the band
prints except the change time (30s vs 18s), and the board offers exactly that
pair on nights 5 and 7. Without the change line it offers two indistinguish-
able jobs and calls it a choice. Pinned.
2. PAIRING_LAW. A band can be perfectly honest about a storm and still be an
invitation to a night nobody can work. A's three POOL exclusions were prose;
promoted to checked data with the measurement in each message, credited by
owner (the soaker's is mine with the S16 ~31% receipt; wildnight and icenight
are recorded as A's reasons, not re-measured by me). Absent key = unrestricted
deliberately — inventing a refusal for a pairing nobody flew is the same
offence inverted, and that direction is pinned too. pairingRefusals is NOT a
filter: silently dropping an entry is a runtime surprise wearing a fix's
clothes. Walks NIGHTS u POOL carrying the SITE: 12 pairings, 0 refusals, with
a vacuity guard in the same case.
Mutation-checked on THIS tree after the code changed address: hail line dropped
(RED, names the storm and the seconds), soaker restriction deleted (RED x2,
including the vacuity guard), change line dropped (RED, names the two busters).
All restored, 494/0/0.
Filed in THREADS, not landed: the hud/main hunk for A (leadFor precedent), and
a floor for stoneWord — hail.size 0 words itself "fine pea stones" because
stoneWord has no floor. Their STONE_WORD_CEILING fixes the top of that range;
nothing fixes the bottom. It belongs inside forecastHonest, which is theirs.
Selftest 494/0/0 (their 490 + 4).

GATE 0.3 — THE CHARTER, SAID OUT LOUD (D's soaker finding, A consulted on
wording and their every-card rule adopted). The audit always flew shade cloth
and never said so; on the soaker that silence read 'WINNABLE over an all-DEAD
garden — the night is broken'. Now: AUDIT.POROSITY is the one charter knob
(sweep.js + gardenfly.js both read it), scorecard.fabricCharter() names the
fabric and whether tonight's stones pass its weave (same hailBlockFor the sim
charges), and the SCORE IT header prints 'fabric · shade cloth (sweep
charter)' on EVERY card — plus, on leaky-storm nights, A's wording: the
fabric is the bet, and the audit does not place it.
GATE 2 — CLIENT CONSTRAINTS: A's shapes (seam contract, built against as
posted), this lane's teeth.
· rigging.js: validateNightConstraint (checked enum, both ends of the seam),
setConstraints (survives reset like _startBudget; [] is the only clear).
The house ban refuses the pick with the CLIENT'S WORDS as the ticker
reason; the cap refuses at SPEND time on every path (rig / cycle / set /
spares / fabric), exact at the boundary, refunds always free — and commit
is belt-and-braces: a caller who walked around the doors gets a THROW.
The cap covers the whole invoice, spares included — the client queries the
invoice, not the hardware line.
· sweep.js: applyNightConstraints, ONE function both drivers share — bans
shrink the candidate list (a card that recommends a forbidden line is the
card lying), the cap re-prices affordable/clean without touching a load.
· scoreSite carries constraints/budget/constrainedOut; the card prints the
client's terms next to funnel and fabric, and tells 'no geometry' from
'client forbids all of it'.
· spent getter now measures against _startBudget (the re-banked session was
measuring spend against the default bank).
Selftest 485/0/0 in the browser (474 + exactly the 11 added: 1 sail, 4
session, 2 charter, 4 audit-constraints). Wiring line for A filed in THREADS:
session.setConstraints(week.job?.constraints ?? []) at the night boundary.
D's S16 poison poke, filed for this lane: _checkFailure's corner loop is the
heal's only trigger and it skips broken corners, so once all four were
divergence-broken a SECOND poison had no unbroken corner left to read NaN
through — the corpse stayed NaN forever and rendered as nothing. A lost sail
is still cloth in the yard; it must LOOK lost, not vanish.
The sentinel runs ONLY on a fully-broken rig (the corner wire covers every
other case): sum pos+prev — any NaN/±Inf makes the sum non-finite (Inf−Inf is
NaN), finite cloth cannot overflow it. Branch-free O(n) adds, no mutation, so
a finite lost sail is untouched byte-for-byte.
Test replays D's gait: cascade 4/4 → 5 s finite with ZERO heals (the negative
control — the sentinel must never mistake 'lost' for 'sick') → second poison
heals in one substep, finite a full second on. Node suite 47/47.
- forecastHonest(def): "a storm the forecast can't describe honestly doesn't
get offered" as a predicate, not a sentence — validator + measurable stats +
the stone vocabulary ceiling (STONE_WORD_CEILING 2.0: past it, "golf ball"
undersells the ice and the word ambushes where the band can't). The band-
containment recomputes are disclosed as structural regression armour, not
counted as coverage.
- c.test walks NIGHTS ∪ POOL from the shipped data (the union, per A's
stormsToPreload finding — a pool-only storm is covered the day it exists).
Negative controls: a lying windchange, a cricket-ball stone, both refused
by name. Lead-0 card pins: the offer card's gust/sustained figures parsed
back out and matched against stormStats; a lead-0 offer must not hedge.
- The exposure cross (the S14 pin pattern, third outing): my failure-route
envelope (built world, anchor collateral keys through world.collateralFor,
the gnome per scoreRun) vs A's exposureOf — item-level equality on ALL
THREE yards: backyard 115, corner block 205, swing lawn 255. Zero unpriced
keys. Teeth proven in-suite: strip the carport key and the cross reds.
Selftest 490/0/0 (A's 485 + 5), browser-verified; board verified live on
:8826 — both cards print the honest lead-0 lines and the crossed dollars.

Gate 0 rulings (written, with reasoning, in THREADS):
- 0.4 hail-light balance: CANON. B's finding reproduces exactly ($4/$2 garden
spread), but the mild-night rig market buys the STEEL and the collateral, not
the bed — a cheap rig that fails on site_02 swings $184 and two stars against
the same rig holding, and the cheapest HOLDING line is $40, not the $20 floor.
Ruled for B's option (b): the separation block asks the wrong question on
those nights; the new shape is B's and is NOT this sprint. Rain drain-weight
lever declined at its proper price (full gauntlet re-measure, own gate).
- 0.4b gradeFor scraped/solvent >=3 STANDS on the seven-night shape, ruled on
the arithmetic (savable 6 → solvent is 4-6 dead, which is what the copy says).
- 0.3 score-header wording consulted for B (no code from me).
Gate 1 — the board: board.js (pure data, node-testable), week.offers()/take(),
seeded from week+night via contracts' mulberry32 — no Date.now, no Math.random.
An offer carries a whole NIGHT ENTRY and take() installs it, so sheet, quote,
invoice, ledger, warranty, rep and end card all read a chosen job through the
path they already had — seven surfaces, zero changed lines. Scripted spine runs
byte-identically when nothing is taken.
Gate 2 (data half) — constraints as night data, checked enum, premium ruled
(+25% anchor ban / +20% budget cap, both UNMEASURED and flagged cut-first),
stated on the offer, the job sheet and the invoice it was paid under. ONE
calloutFee() now serves quote() and settle(). Enforcement is B's.
Two bugs found off the suite: take() stored raw pool entries (crashed quote()
on a missing pay block) → normaliseNight() split so both doors share it; and
NIGHT 1 HAD NO BOARD — the splash bypassed it — found by looking, not testing.
Pool pairings audited in the browser before shipping; both constraints checked
for soft-lock against real holding lines.
Mutation-checked ×6. One did NOT go red: "every pool storm is preloaded" passed
with the POOL source deleted, because every pool storm is also in NIGHTS — the
same coincidence that hid the calm-day bug. stormsToPreload(nights, pool) split
so it can fail. Selftest 485/0/0 (474 + 11).
Recovers an interrupted session and finishes its verification honestly.
RESTORED (the predecessor was killed mid-mutation-check):
- build_sail_post_corroded still had negative control M1 APPLIED — clean
galvanised steel, DROOP=0 — so both shipped GLBs were the untelled post.
Restored: steel_weathered/rust/rust_deep, DROOP_DEG = 38.
- asset_report.json held 1 of 37 assets and contact_sheet.png was a 196 KB
truncated write. Both were interrupted artifacts, not decisions; a clean
rebuild restores 37 assets and a 5.07 MB 1680x4200 sheet.
DETERMINISM: 37/37 GLBs byte-identical across two consecutive full runs;
report and contact sheet byte-identical too. Zero churn on the 35 pre-existing
GLBs.
ASSERT THAT COULD NOT FAIL, KILLED: the sag pin (honestY - corrodedY > 0.05)
reads 0.060 at ZERO droop, because the eye hangs off a weld line 160 mm down
the post — measured on the M-B build, anchor at (0, 3.920, 0). It measured the
weld offset and called it a sag. Replaced with the droop ANGLE derived from
the exported anchor and pinned to baked extras (padeye_droop_deg / arm_m /
weld_y_threejs / dir_threejs), all stated in three.js coords — the axis trap
closed the swing_set way, so note and mesh can only lie together.
ASSERT WHOSE REASON WAS BACKWARDS, FIXED: the 20 m pin claimed the corroded
shaft read darker. Measured off look.html's canvas at 20 m: honest lum 50,
corroded lum 94 — it renders twice as BRIGHT. Base colour is darker but
metalness drives the pixels (gal 0.90/0.35 goes near-black with no env map;
weathered 0.55/0.60 is diffuse). Test now pins both halves and names the
mechanism the player actually sees.
Three tells split into three tests so one failure cannot mask the others —
pre-split, the M-A mutation went red on rust area and never reached the
lightness or droop asserts at all.
Mutation-checked in the browser, all three witnessed red: M-A clean steel
(1/3 + 2/3 red, 3/3 green, factory GREEN throughout — the trap it cannot see,
confirmed); M-B flat eye (3/3 red, others green); M-C baked note lies while
mesh is honest (3/3 red, proving the pin reads the extra, not a literal).
Selftest 483/0/0 (474 baseline + 9 exactly). Tell verified by looking at
20 m at the game's own camera height, screenshots taken.
editor.js untouched — palette hunk filed verbatim in THREADS for A.
contracts.js ANCHOR_TYPE widening flagged for A.
Lane D flagged: the tier is placeable, gate 3.2 unblocked.

Preserved verbatim from the interrupted session. NOTE: build_sail_post_corroded

swing set sells the crossbar trap; the Vasilaros return sells the cloth
default the forecast argues against.
- THE STRUCTURAL CONSEQUENCE, filed loudly: six slots cannot hold five old
storms + a survived-storm debut + the soaker. The WILD NIGHT leaves the
rotation (every other candidate is load-bearing); storm file, tests and the
pinned backyard separation all stand. If the eviction is wrong the fix is a
seven-night week — one entry, a ruling.

C's gate-3 finding, answered in the file it names: _applyPonding never reads
porosity, so cloth and membrane pond identically while setFabric's comment and
the cloth blurb promised shedding. Ruled, not silently fixed: every pinned
cloth number (backyard separation, the section-7 gates, C's storm_06 pins, the
S15 zero-delta lattice) was measured under fabric-blind ponding, and a pond-
physics change mid-TEETH moves them all against the one-variable law. The fix
(porosity-scaled intake + through-weave leak) wants its own gate with a full
gauntlet re-measure; C's soaker is its test case. setFabric's comment carries
the ruling, _applyPonding carries the warning, the cloth blurb drops 'sheds
water' (a player-facing claim the sim doesn't cash).

rig change) the same day. C's copy taken verbatim so integration merges clean;
my default-unmoved + membrane-heavier asserts in gardenfly.selftest.js stand
and cover both copies.

Gate 3.1 pins (c.test): the soaker over site_02 through gardenfly, porosity
the only variable — bare <30 (17.5), best cloth line <50 (42.3, still >bare:
the leak is partial), same $75 ring on membrane >90 FULL (96.5) with lost<2
and cost<=80, $60 membrane ring wins too (68.8), separation >40 (54.2). The
inverse guard: membrane on carabiners reads WORSE than cloth (19.1/3 lost vs
24.5/2) — the F key is a bet, not an upgrade. Gate 3.3: forecastLines grows
stones + rainRate (worded, banded); stormStats.hailSize + forecastFor
hail.size band, spread 0.30, nesting/truth-holding pinned in the resolving
loop; existing card fields byte-identical (new band draws last). storm_06 in
STORM_KEYS + suite STORMS (sync assert is the tripwire). Envelope tool flown:
throat 21.55 @ 59.2, q1 17.78 (rated slot), q2 wind-coldest yet cloth-side
second-hottest — the pond's signature isolated between harnesses. Mutations,
separate runs, red-then-green: gardenfly seam hardcoded -> both 3.1 pins red;
STORM_KEYS drop -> list-sync red with diff; stormgen rng -> byte-equal red.
Browser selftest 438/0/0 (418 + 4 storm honesty + 12 stormgen + 4 gate-3).
THREADS: gate entries + D pairing receipt + B seam/finding notes.
Measured post-ruling (garden_probe, funnel ON, 2026-07-20):
site_02 x earlybuster: bare 82.6 FULL (hail 10.7 + rain 6.8) · best flown 90.2 · gain +7.6
site_03 x southerly: bare 83.7 FULL (hail 10.7 + rain 5.6) · best flown 89.8 · gain +6.1
Bare WINS both nights by >30 points; 'bareMustLoseBelow' cannot be written
honestly at any threshold, so per the gate's own rule this is a FINDING, not
a fudged pin. Each yard carries _separation_finding (measured refusal with
numbers + the delete-on-pin instruction); scorecard exposes it and SCORE IT's
NONE PINNED branch becomes PIN REFUSED (measured). New assert: every shipped
yard is separation-JUDGED — pinned XOR refused-with-finding; silence and
stale-finding both red. Balance fight filed in THREADS.

ROADMAP carried '>83 ms determinism bound (documented, un-tested)'. Measured:
the spiral guard fires whenever a step() consumes MAX_SUBSTEPS, dropping even
a legal sub-SIM_DT residual — so the unconditionally-lossless bound is
(MAX_SUBSTEPS-1)*SIM_DT = 66.7 ms; 67-83 ms may drop up to one SIM_DT by
accumulator phase; >=83 ms always drops. Pinned AS MEASURED (no retune):
frames <=66 ms converge on the fixed trace at equal sim clocks with zero wall
time lost; one 120 ms hitch drops exactly its overflow (36.7 ms). Mutations
red-then-green: MAX_SUBSTEPS shrunk (6 s went missing); guard deleted
(deficit 3 ms vs expected 37). Test header is the documented waiver.
