From 4f378a3cf49a6625ed808a8461263d4bf678b1a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: npub17jjz49l9jjmhhk7cac63j8yt9z555n9cw8vk7v5jz4vzw4ppld5qgj57cc Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 13:08:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/23] L-E upscroll-jitter gate: RED metric isolating realization drift MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Tyler's report: scrolling UP a fully-loaded channel is subtly jumpy; DOWN is smooth. Root cause (Eva H1 + L-C): rows above the opening viewport have never painted, so under content-visibility:auto they sit at estimateRowHeight()'s contain-intrinsic-size reserve (60px, utilities.css:17). Scrolling up, each realizes at its true height; the reserve-vs-true delta shifts the reading position. Shipped WKWebView has no overflow-anchor, so it corrects nothing — every delta lands raw. This adds a deterministic gate that is RED at tip 77bd0e70 and that the converged owned-compensation fix (overflow-anchor:none + same-frame scrollBy(realized-reserved)) turns green: - e2eBridge: a dedicated `jitter-corpus` mock channel (400 structurally heterogeneous rows — headings/lists/blockquotes/code fences/long prose whose true height estimateRowHeight is known to miss), its own channel so the uniform deep-history seed the load-older specs use is untouched. - upscroll-jitter.perf.ts: forces overflow-anchor:none on the scroller (mirrors shipped WKWebView; logs CSS.supports per engine), then wheels up in notches tracking a row held INSIDE the viewport (SAFE_MARGIN band from both edges, re-picked each step, scored only if the same id stayed in-band before+after). Residual = row's visual delta-top minus the scroll delta: 0 == smooth. Gate is peak <=2px, rms <=0.6px. Validity: within a single cold run the already-realized rows read residual 0.0 exactly while realizing rows drift -27..-75px — an artifact would drift on both. Negative sign shows the estimator over-reserves. At tip: peak 75px, rms 40px over 23 steps → RED. A correct fill of scrollTop absorbs the drift into the scroll delta, driving residual->0.

Quinn and Eva re-derived and confirmed. Co-visible and any row-vs-row differential share the disease: compensation is a uniform global offset, so it cancels out of any quantity not referenced to the input. Reframe (converged with Dawn/Quinn/Eva; ratified event 63f5e6e1): - Metric is now per-notch MOTION CONSISTENCY: the reading row's viewport motion (rowMove = after.top - before.top; NO scrollTop reference) scored as deviation from the run median. This references the row's own motion ACROSS notches (temporal self-reference), never a neighbour (spatial) or scrollTop, so the writer's scrollBy survives into the metric and is SEEN. - Actuation is a fixed synchronous step (scrollTop -= STEP) so the input delta is constant by construction, bypassing Blink's wheel-scaling (a wheel notch applies 218/220/222...; median-of-run would misread that per-notch scaling as jitter). Dawn independently confirmed even the actuated scrollTop delta is post-writer contaminated (48-75px spread under sync) — rowMove is the only clean measurable. - Anti-cheat floor: mean rowMove must be > STEP*0.75 so a frozen or half-applying scroller (near-zero variance, would false-green) is caught. - Old scrollTop-referenced residual kept as a printed NON-GATING diagnostic (= estimate error R = T3's estimator acceptance number). - Second non-gating diagnostic: one wheel-actuated pass of the same metric (Tyler's real input is a wheel), on the record every run. - RED-at-tip is a HARD gate with a VOID comment: median-of-run is only valid while the corpus produces varying realization, and the tip run being RED IS the proof of that dispersion. RED at tip: peak-dev 41px / rms 24px (gate <=2 / <=0.6). GREEN target is Dawn's real T2 writer: peak-dev 0.00 / rms 0.00, reproducible over 3 sync runs. A synthetic per-notch-varying oracle drives 74/77 notches to exactly STEP; the real writer re-pins in the same ResizeObserver cycle and closes the synthetic-only outliers.

Root cause (Eva's H1): rows above the opening viewport have never painted, so they sit at their `contain-intrinsic-size` reserve under `content-visibility: auto`. Scrolling up, each row realizes at its true height the instant it enters the realization band; the delta (true - reserve) shifts content above the reading row. On shipped WKWebView there is no `overflow-anchor` to correct it, so every realization lands raw on the reading position — one lurch per row. The fix makes the conversation scroller own its reading position through a single same-frame compensation writer: - Snapshot the reading anchor (first fully-visible row + its top offset) on every scroll event, before the ResizeObserver fires. The RO runs after layout and before paint, so the "before" position can only come from the last scroll event — never from inside the RO callback. - Observe each `.timeline-row-cv` row (CV realization is a resize of the row's own box and does not surface as an ancestor resize in Blink), seeded at observe time with the browser's current layout height read from `contain-intrinsic-block-size` — the reserve for an unpainted row. Seeding from the reserve is what turns the first realization into a measurable `realized - reserve` delta instead of an unmeasurable first sighting. - On a real height change, re-pin the reading anchor to its saved offset with a same-frame `scrollBy(drift)`. A single measured correction: the layout engine already summed the above-anchor deltas into the row's top, and rows resizing below the anchor don't move it, so they're excluded for free. Re-baseline after the correction. - Force `overflow-anchor: none` on the scroller so the writer is the single scroll authority on every engine — Chromium's native anchoring can't double-correct behind the writer's back, and WKWebView has none anyway. This also aligns CI (Chromium) with macOS (WKWebView), which ran different scroll contracts — how the jitter shipped unseen. Verified against the committed T1.1 gate (upscroll-jitter.perf.ts) on jitter-corpus cold-load, sync fixed-step actuation, overflow-anchor forced off: RED without this writer (peak-dev 46 / rms 23), GREEN with it (peak-dev 0.00 / rms 0.00, reproducible), and the non-gating wheel felt-mode pass also 0.00/0.00. The non-gating estimate-error R diagnostic stays at 75 (T3's lane; this writer compensates motion, it does not shrink the reserve error).

Pre-measure zero passes undefined to preserve the estimator's own fallback rather than tripping its min-chars floor. On jitter-corpus this shrinks estimate-error R from 75 -> 55 peak (better reserves = smaller realized-vs-reserved delta) while the motion gate stays GREEN 0.00/0.00 -- R moves only in the estimator lane, the gate only in the writer lane, cross-lane invariant intact. - Wren #4 anchor-contract guard: a companion perf test that reads the PRODUCTION computed overflow-anchor on the real conversation scroller (no test override) and asserts it resolves to none. The jitter gate forces the property for its measurement; this proves the shipped stylesheet actually ships it, so a regression that hands correction back to Chromium's native anchoring (masking a WKWebView-only on-device break) fails loudly. The onRealizedHeight seam is intentionally NOT wired: T4 ground truth (RESEARCH/GUI_SCROLL_RECLAIM_T4.md) shows the upscroll path is append-only with no unmount, so it needs no JS height cache; a per-event-id cache is only the deferred, narrowly-scoped T4b for the head-refetch case.

Root cause: when a prepend lands, scrollTop jumps UP (~100 older rows of height added above), so `appliedTop = before - after` goes negative and the loop's top-of-history break fired at the sentinel — before scoring any paged-in row. On the RED baseline this break was deterministic; on GREEN it was flaky (the prepend was scored only when the re-anchor happened to leave the tracked row in the safe band). Fix: distinguish the two causes of a non-decreasing scrollTop by mounted-count. A prepend grows it; the true top does not. On a prepend re-anchor, skip scoring that step (its motion is the multi-thousand-px jump, not a fixed STEP notch — scoring it would poison the metric) and CONTINUE; the next iteration re-baselines a fresh safe-band row in the paged-in window and scoring resumes across the prepend. Assert `prependObserved` so the gate exercises BOTH jitter sources every run. Verified on the T3 integration tip 1fa4551a (GREEN) and the T1.1 base 32e41e78 (RED), both rebuilt: - GREEN: prepend scored (50->200, walks all crossings), gate 0.00/0.00 PASS, 77-78 scored steps, deterministic across 4 runs. - RED: prepend scored (50->150), coverage assert PASSES, gate still FAILS on jitter (peak 41px > 2.0) — reds for the right reason. The dual-sided RED/GREEN contract and the anti-cheat floors are preserved; the change is scoped to the gate file only. Note: gate-run R is window-dependent (Eva/Max [8]); scoring the deeper paged-in population raises the non-gating R diagnostic from 75 to ~85. This is NOT a cross-lane leak — the T2 writer's reserve is untouched; R moved only because the sample window grew, exactly as the window-sensitivity caveat predicts.

Root cause: the reading-anchor baseline was snapshotted in the scroll handler, on the assumption that scroll fires before ResizeObserver in the same frame. That holds on Chromium; WebKit dispatches scroll asynchronously off its scrolling thread and coalesces it, so under momentum the RO consumed a stale snapshot and the drift measurement folded the user's own wheel delta into the correction — the writer fought the wheel. Make the path independent of scroll-event timing: - Baseline the reading anchor per-rAF (single writer, module rAF loop), not per-scroll-event. rAF runs before layout/RO on every engine, so the baseline is the freshest pre-reflow read cross-engine. - Compute the correction scroll-invariantly from the anchor row's document position (scrollTop + topOffset), which changes only when content above reflows — isolating the layout shift from user scroll. Extracted as computeAnchorCorrection(), unit-tested for sign and invariance. - Write an absolute scrollTop target from this frame's own late reads, not scrollBy against a possibly-stale offset (blunts the write-race). - Staleness is a first-class SKIP: if scroll moved more than COMPENSATION_SCROLL_SKIP_PX since baseline, momentum is in flight and the reads may straddle a compositor commit — skip and let the next quiet frame catch it. Under-correcting is invisible; fighting the wheel is the lurch. - Derive at-bottom vs mid-history from synchronous geometry (isAtBottomNow) in both the rAF sampler and the RO callback, never from the scroll-maintained anchorRef, so the branch and the baseline can't disagree under momentum. - Pick the reading anchor a safe margin below the fold (READING_ANCHOR_SAFE_MARGIN_PX) so it never sits inside the realization band it's meant to measure against.

This gate reproduces the SAME felt-lurch metric under the SAME momentum actuation on the deterministic mock jitter-corpus bridge — no network, greppable in CI, on BOTH engines. Covers both lurch sources (W3 trace, thread): - CV-realization lurch: jitter-corpus is the heterogeneous 400-row seed whose estimateRowHeight mismatch T1.1/T1.2 already gate. - prepend-commit-under-momentum: 400 rows > 300 CHANNEL_HISTORY_LIMIT, so fetchOlder pages behind an until-cursor. useLoadOlderOnScroll fires off an IntersectionObserver on a 600px-margin top sentinel — pure geometry, input-cadence-independent — so momentum triggers it like live. channelWindowDelayMs=1000 defers the commit so it lands frames later, under momentum, reproducing the commit race (not an instant same-frame commit). Engine fidelity mirrors T1.1/T1.2: overflow-anchor forced 'none' so Chromium reproduces the shipped WKWebView (no native scroll anchoring); under playwright.perf-webkit.config.ts this is the real WebKit family. Three assertions (Eva's thresholds + Quinn's W4 caveat): - peak felt lurches (|dev|>10px, non-commit) == 0 — the wheel-fight spike. - smooth frames (|dev|<=1px) >= 99%. - RMS deviation across the run <= placeholder — the skip-forever guard: a too-tight staleness skip-bound never fires the correction under momentum, showing as a run of sub-10px deviations that dodge the peak gate but sum to main's raw-shift drift. Peak is blind to that shape. RED at contract 6b9203ca under the WebKit mirror is mandatory and verified: WebKit 132 lurches / 94.42% smooth / RMS 4.24px; Chromium-with-mirror 131 lurches / 97.87% smooth. Dawn's engine-order-independent W1 fix turns it green on both engines. Exact lurch and RMS ceilings pinned against Dawn's first green candidate, same discipline as T1.2.

On WebKit the rAF baseline is captured AFTER content-visibility realization has already shifted the row, so baseline and current straddle the same side of the reflow (dTop=dScroll=0) and the position diff is blind to it — the correction never fired and the row took the full raw realization shift. Add a second, baseline-timing-independent signal: when the position diff sees no move, fall back to the net height change of the RO entries ABOVE the anchor (`aboveShift`) and absorb it into scrollTop. This reads the reflow magnitude directly from the resize entries rather than diffing a snapshot WebKit captured too late, so it holds under WebKit's async realization ordering without depending on scroll-event timing (which coalesces off the scrolling thread under real wheel input).

On WebKit that condition is not specific to a real reflow: the per-rAF baseline is captured post-realization, so `baseline` and `current` straddle the SAME side of the reflow (dTop=dScroll=0) on EVERY frame, and `aboveShift` — summed from the RO entries — can be nonzero on a frame where the anchor never moved, because a row straddling the anchor boundary is miscounted. The fallback then fabricated a downward shove: the "Shape B" slow-trackpad lurch (`e=0, rowMove=+35..41px, dScroll=0`) — firing the correction WAS the visible jump. Add a second, baseline-timing-independent signal and fire only when the two instruments agree. Carry the anchor snapshot from the PREVIOUS rAF tick (`prevReadingAnchorRef`), which — unlike the same-frame baseline — was captured before this frame's realization and so spans the reflow. Its document-position shift `observedShift = (scrollTop+topOffset) − prev(scrollTop+topOffset)` is scroll-invariant (user scroll moves scrollTop and topOffset equal-and-opposite), so it isolates the reflow alone (Eva's probe `e`, from one coherent snapshot; Quinn's scroll-isolated `R_obs`). Fire only when `prev.id === baseline.id` AND `|aboveShift − observedShift| ≤ 0.5`, and correct by `observedShift` (never raw screen motion — that would refold the user's scroll into the pin). Agreement is the classifier boundary. Two-population split of fallback frames on the WebKit slow-trackpad probe: population | aboveShift vs observedShift | old writer | gated writer -------------------|-----------------------------|--------------|------------- real reflow | agree (Δ ≤ 0.5px) | corrects OK | corrects OK straddler miscount | disagree (Δ = row height) | fabricates | suppressed | | +35..41 shove| (no write) Suppressing the miscount branch removes the fabricated shoves without touching the frames where the RO sum is genuine. Validated (each run x2, stable): - Shape-B fabricated `e=0` shoves: eliminated (was the dominant felt defect) - Chromium slow-trackpad: 0 escapes, sync 0.00, felt 0.00 (no regression) - WebKit felt/wheel gate: 0.91px peak (<< 2px threshold), was 0.00 pre-gate — the 0.91 is the frame-late CV-realization flash the miscount was masking - WebKit slow-trackpad escapes: 67 -> 54 - 2167/2167 unit tests, tsc, biome clean Residual (54 escapes) is a different phenomenon with a different owner: ~15 self-correcting frame-late flashes + ~12 multi-frame-blind under-corrections, both rooted in WebKit delivering the CV-realization RO callback one frame after the realization paints (documented in RESEARCH/WEBKIT_RO_REALIZATION_FRAME_LATE_W1.md; overturns W4a doc lines 96-98, which assumed the RO write is same-frame-visible on WebKit). That is a W4a architecture item (Quinn owns direction; Max's W2 pre-realization band is the A/B candidate), not a W1 branch-logic defect.

Metric (all on the reading row's per-frame rect.top, no scrollTop / no dispatched-delta reference — coordinate-free by second-differencing): - LEG 1 peak jerk = max |second diff| — the felt-lurch spike. Gate <= 8px. - LEG 2 signed anti-scroll drift over a trailing 100ms window — the skip-forever guard (catches a sustained reversal by sign). Gate <= 12px. - LEG 3 rms jerk (chatter) — LOG-ONLY behind BUZZ_PERF_GATE_RMS_JERK=1; no A/B separation reachable under discrete actuation (structural, thread). - LEG 2 cumulative drift (NEW) — same anti-scroll component summed over the whole run, no window. LOG-ONLY, never gated. The windowed gate is the felt-relevant burst; this is the W4a reference scale that the 12 non-recovering under-corrections accumulate into. The pre-realization band (W2) should collapse THIS number. Harness fixes for small-STEP runs (both were false-fails, not scorer bugs): - velocity anti-cheat floor scales with STEP (0.008*STEP_PX) — was a fixed 0.1 pinned at STEP=12, false-failed STEP=2. - test timeout 300s -> 900s (408 events/swipe at STEP=2 is slow). Verified both engines against Dawn's shipped writer e7297849 (SWIPES=12, STEP=2): Chromium 2.00 / 0.00 / cumulative 0.00 (clean PASS, control); WebKit peak 37.55 / windowed 27.55 / cumulative 1042.81 (exposed W4a frame-late layer). Chromium cumulative = 0.00 validates the instrument: the quantization staircase is pure forward scroll, so cumulative is entirely the WebKit reversal signal — clean control(0)/signal(1042).

This lands design-of-record (c): a single ungated RO mid-history corrector plus a per-rAF sampler, coordinating ONLY through a shared row-height cache — no engine branch. The on-time observer per engine is the sole writer: - Chromium: the RO delivers pre-paint, so the ungated RO corrects at N (by the anchor's own measured drift) and refreshes the cache; the rAF then sees residual ~0 and no-ops. - WebKit: the RO is late, so the rAF (whose synchronous getBoundingClientRect forces this frame's layout) corrects at N; the late RO no-ops against the rAF-refreshed cache. The RO path is deliberately UNGATED by the rAF path's observed/above agreement cross-check: that gate suppresses the rAF band walk's straddler-miscount fabrication, a risk the RO does not have (its entries are ground truth for which rows resized). Applying the gate to the RO strangled the on-time Chromium observer and regressed it to 16 reversals. Straddler safety on the RO path comes instead from the safe-margin reading anchor (snapshotReadingAnchor + READING_ANCHOR_SAFE_MARGIN_PX), which sits a notch below the realization band so a row realizing across the fold is above the anchor and summed into the drift correctly — documented as a load-bearing invariant at the site so a later refactor cannot strip it thinking the `changed` trigger covers straddlers (it does not; the margin does). Own red/green E2E fixture (upscroll-raf-correction.perf.ts), verified on both Playwright engines against a stamped build: Chromium 0 reversals max 0.0px RO 21 rAF 0 WebKit 2 reversals max 14.5px rAF 24 RO 0 (residual 0.0) Asserts are a layered stack so a vacuous pass cannot slip through: a build-stamp stale-`dist` guard, LIVENESS (some correction fired), PRIMARY correctness (reversals <= 4, maxReversalPx <= 34, engine- agnostic), and per-engine MECHANISM in both directions (chromium roFires>0 && rafFires===0; webkit rafFires>0 && maxRoResidual<=0.5). Layering self-test confirmed: disabling the ungated-RO write flips PRIMARY red at 16 while LIVENESS stays green. The hook is the sole cross-engine reading-anchor scroll writer and its correctness lives in the per-site provenance comments, so it crossed the 1000-line file-size limit (888 at HEAD); added a documented, narrowly- scoped override queued to split the mid-history corrector into a sibling.

Thread signed aboveShift (rAF path) / signed drift (RO path) through the correction probe as a diagnostic-only 'signedShift' field alongside wouldFire; production behavior unchanged. The slow-scroll classifier joins each reversal to the correction attempt(s) in its frame window (append-count join, order-robust across the two rAF loops) and classifies: SKIP (gate/xcheck suppressed the write -> uncorrected reflow), GROW (fired, signedShift>0 -> write is the felt snap, absorption's topology), SHRINK (fired, signedShift<0 -> reflow renders it pre-write, only smaller per-frame realization helps). Bumps ANCHOR_BUILD_STAMP to w4a-classifier-1 so the stale-dist guard rejects any bundle missing signedShift.

On WebKit, momentum is coalesced into `scrollTop` on the compositor's own async clock, so a frame that PAINTED still can read a large raw delta and wrongly skip a genuine above-anchor reflow — the reversal survivor bin (the 204px-class lurch of #1662). Rekey the gate onto the RENDERED scroll — the painted wheel motion this frame — `renderedScroll = aboveShift - ΔtopOffset`: the anchor's painted on-screen move with the reflow's own push removed, both terms read from the painted DOM (getBoundingClientRect), not the possibly-ahead `scrollTop`. A rendered-still frame now reads ~0 and the reflow is corrected instead of dropped. Because the gate now needs `aboveShift` to decide, the band walk runs before the gate. To keep "under-correcting is invisible; the next quiet frame catches up," `sumAboveAnchorShift` no longer refreshes the height cache inline — it STAGES the refresh and returns `{ aboveShift, commit }`. The caller applies `commit()` only past the gate, so a momentum skip leaves the cache for the next frame; a kept correction refreshes it as one indivisible pass (the "second observer no-ops" invariant is intact). Arbiter contract, fresh w4a-gate-1 build, both engines: - raf-correction HARD gate: Chromium 0 reversals, rAF fires 0 / RO 21 (RO sole writer); WebKit 2 reversals max 14.5px (<=34 quantum floor), rAF fires 24 / RO no-op (residual 0.0). Ratified invariants hold. - slow-scroll: 0 reversals both engines (felt low-velocity regime clean). - fast-classify DECOMPOSITION self-test (WebKit): pure-reflow attempts median |signedShift|=18.5 but median |renderedScroll|=0.0 — the reflow does NOT leak into the gated quantity, and 19/28 fire. Pure-scroll |renderedScroll| runs up to 28. The decomposition is proven, not asserted. Guarded WebKit-only: on Chromium the rAF is the passive loser observer (RO corrects first), so renderedScroll there tracks signedShift by construction — characterized, not asserted. KNOWN RESIDUAL (surfaced, not hidden): 2 WebKit survivors remain, but they are a DIFFERENT class — signedShift=0.0 (the band walk sees no above-anchor reflow) while the row still lurches 14.5px. The momentum-gate survivors the rekey targeted are gone; these are cross-check/null-target skips where the reflow is invisible to the band walk. Separate diagnosis. Diagnostic-only `renderedScroll` is threaded through the shared result type + emitted on the rAF probe so the fixture can prove the decomposition; stripped/gated before merge per the file-size exit condition. Raises the useAnchoredScroll.ts size exception 1180->1210 to cover the arm (biome reflows the 4-prop returns); flagged in the override comment for Eva as heavy-for-a-diagnostic.

Adds a committed media corpus + classifier so the answer is reproducible from the tip on a fresh build, mirroring the jitter/fast-classify arm. Corpus (e2eBridge `mediaCorpusBody`, channel `media-corpus`, 400 rows, 8 kinds). Row-height error is MEDIA reserve-vs-true mismatch, not text mis-estimation, from three in-source-verified divergence sources: - Link-preview cards reserved flat at PREVIEW_CARD=70 but rendered taller (GROW). - Width-clamp images: CORRECT dims, but the estimator hardcodes MEDIA_MAX_WIDTH=384 while render clamps to max-w-[min(24rem,100%)]; in a column < 384px the render is width-limited shorter than reserved (SHRINK, no lying dim, no decode timing). - Dim-mismatch images in BOTH directions: overstate height (SHRINK) and understate (GROW), so the corpus CAN produce SHRINK — the GROW-dominant prediction is falsifiable, not baked in. No dim-less band: that path is pinned to a fixed 256px box (reserve==mount) and provably cannot reflow. Images use a tiny inline PNG data-URL so they realize without network. (Eva verified the mechanism chain independently in mainbase 2cc0eb53.) Fixture (upscroll-media.perf.ts) clones the fast classifier verbatim — probeLen append-count join, SKIP/GROW/SHRINK/UNATTRIBUTED discriminator, dev, ±2-frame firedNear admission — and only: - navigates to channel-media-corpus, then narrows the viewport to 450px so the timeline column lands below 384px; asserts the measured media-container width is < 384 so the width-clamp SHRINK source provably bites (else it fails loudly); - adds a MEDIA-REFLOW CENSUS: for every above-anchor reflow (|signedShift|>3px), whether it landed on a tracked in-band row and the worst (most-backward) rowMove across it, collapsing a persistent gate-held reflow's per-rAF re-measure into one run so a stuck 198px GROW isn't inflated into hundreds; - asserts MEDIA LIVENESS (>=1 in-band reflow) so a zero-reversal result cannot be a dead corpus; drops the fast arm's decomposition self-test (that re-proves the gate mechanism the jitter arm already ratifies — off-charter here). Result, fresh w4a-gate-1 build, BOTH engines, reproducible from this tip: - Chromium: 0 reversals. 9 reflow runs (5 in-band), 7 GROW / 2 SHRINK. Every in-band reflow worstRowMove >= 0 — incl. a persistent +198 GROW held 170 frames at rowMove 0.0. - WebKit: 0 reversals. 8 reflow runs (4 in-band), 6 GROW / 2 SHRINK. GROW runs gate-SKIPed to rowMove 0.0; SHRINK runs (−14.5) fired-and-corrected to +0.5 (forward). CLASSIFICATION: the media reserve-vs-true reflows are momentum/absorbed-class — the landed w4a-gate-1 fix + correction eat them; not one renders a felt backward snap on either engine. NOT walk-blind, NOT needing Max's pre-realization band. Neither Dawn's GROW-likely nor Eva's SHRINK-likely prediction "wins" in the felt sense: both classes fire, both are absorbed. HONESTY BOUND: this is a deterministic proxy for media reflow, not a claim to reproduce Tyler's exact frames. His live trackpad still owns acceptance; #1662 stays draft.
