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.
