Preflight (A0): 2026-07-10 23:06 โ load1 3.90/32c (falling) ยท no heavy nasimubd jobs ยท 31 GiB avail, si/soโ0 ยท all four services active โ ALL PASS. Sync: main up-to-date, worktree 0 behind. One capped run (0.40 min), readonly=2 loader; two write-guard iterations honestly recorded (the fake-data/inline-ignore guard pair resolved with both sanctioned tokens โ the RNG drives index streams over real values only).
| Check | Reading | Ruling |
| The finding beneath the kill | |MCS| distribution: {8 regimes: 116 features ยท 7 regimes: 7 features} โ the scoper fires for 6% of the panel; power starvation at ฮฑ=0.05, K=99, ~1400-row windows | NEAR-DEGENERATE |
| NSUB dial law (the formal trigger) | ฯ = 0.523 โ mechanically downstream: a 94%-ceiling readout's sparse remainder reshuffles under any perturbation | FAIL |
| Shadows | k_v โ0.199 ยท stack worst 0.199 โ trivially cleared: a nearly-constant readout correlates with nothing, which is exactly why it certifies nothing | VACUOUS CLEAR |
| The pattern (ร3) | Coarse discrete readouts fail the dial law structurally: RW adjusted-p (30 values, 0.803) ยท MRP argmin (0.735) ยท |MCS| (2 values, 0.523) | STANDING LESSON |
| Verdict (row 103) | EXCLUDE(subsample-fragile; root cause near-degenerate scoping) โ KILL #31, BONEYARD #46 ยท pipeline home folded into the row-101 proposal (set-valued scoping of already-declared features) |
