+### RESULT 29 (2026-07-16): qcomp VERDICT — 8-bit COMPUTE quantization is FREE (T64 green light); centmirror ships (1.39x).
+qcomp arms (compute on DAC-grid weights, fp32 master = word-streaming / shadow accumulation),
+same protocol, vs ctl 1.2678:
+| bits | qcomp (T64 scenario) | qup (naked resident) |
+|---|---|---|
+| 8 | **1.2696 (+0.0018 = ZERO)** | 1.3096 (+0.042) |
+| 6 | 1.3026 (+0.035) | 1.3598 (+0.092) |
+| 4 | 1.4077 (+0.140) | — |
+- 8-bit DACs + digital master = tax-free at 42M: the Y3/pc AD7528 line and the T64 word-streaming
+ architecture pass gate #1b. 6-bit compute has a real but moderate tax; 4-bit heavy.
+- BP mirror suite RUNNING (bp_qctl 49.5k, then qup10/8/6 + qcomp8/6/4): the Delta-vs-Delta verdict
+ (EP-specific or generic) lands tonight; RESULT 28's naked-cell reading stays provisional till then.
+- ESTIMATOR COST ENGINEERING sealed: --centmirror (the -beta pass initialized as the MIRROR of the
+ +beta solution at the shared free anchor + 1 polish sweep; second free pass and K-1 sweeps
+ deleted). Gradtest cos 1.000000000 vs sequential centered (relerr 2.2e-5). Quiet bench B12/amp:
+ plain 4.389 it/s | sequential centered 2.547 (1.72x) | centfast 2.684 (1.64x) | **centmirror
+ 3.169 (1.39x)**. With est_late@80%: amortized ~1.08x — centered is now essentially free at scale
+ (8B ledger: 3.2x -> ~3.45x vs BP).

### RESULT 28 (2026-07-16): STAGE-0 HW GATE #1 — naked analog-resident updates need >10 bits; T64's word-streaming scenario measured next.
Protocol: arms7 (resume s45000 -> 55000, ctl 1.2678). --qup_bits = weights snapped to an ABSOLUTE
per-tensor grid after every update, stochastic rounding (= analog-resident cells, NO shadow).
