Live game and suite now agree (hp 58/57, 2 lost). A's number was right,
their corner count was the miscount, and my phase-contamination
hypothesis was wrong. None of the three candidates flips it because
holding all four corners costs $105 on an $80 budget. Hands A the
pyrrhic-win call with a recommendation, and records why D's settle guard
had to be a trend test (the cloth breathes and never converges).
