| Leg | Reading | Ruling |
| E1 identification (12/12 runs) | Exactly one link involving the twin in every run: the contemporaneous o-o adjacency with duration_us (undirected โ PCMCI+ cannot orient a deterministic contemporaneous pair; adjacency was the gated claim) | PASS |
| E2 rejection (12/12 runs) | Zero links twin โ {intensity, burstiness} at any lag โ conditioning on duration_us explains the twin entirely, everywhere | PASS |
| The F014 trap | Every CI test conditioned on the byte-twin is exactly degenerate (zero residual variance) โ the situation that blinded F014/causalicp. PCMCI+: 0 crashes, 0 NaN p-values across all 12 runs | NOT SPRUNG |
