+### RESULT 57 (2026-07-21): RATCHET VERDICT — pure retreat cannot outrun the bias-driven
+sink; the staircase IS the plain-lineage ceiling trajectory, and it chases beta to the bf16
+floor. The trio closes: debiasing is the only 1.0x recipe that holds.
+fw72m_ratchet (user design: halve-on-crossing only, no climb, plain estimator, res-alone gate,
+guards silent): mechanically flawless — zero explosions, knocks fired exactly as designed.
+Staircase: 3e-3 held to 88.4k (first knock -> 1.5e-3), held to 131.2k, then CASCADE (5 knocks
+in 3.2k steps -> 4.7e-5 by 134.4k), then 2.3e-5@140k, 5.9e-6@152k, 1.8e-7@154k = sub-bf16-
+cliff, training dead-walks (val 3.42 best -> 4.28 noise-walk). KILLED at 181.4k (staircase
+complete; remaining steps carried no information). GPU0 -> fw72m_bp_s2 (honest-gap seed).
+READING: under the SAME res-alone gate, bsign saw ZERO events in 234k while ratchet's ceiling
+collapsed through 4+ decades from 131k. Same estimator-family difference as plain2-vs-bsign,
+now in the adaptive-beta version: the sink is a property of the BIASED estimator's trajectory,
+not of the beta policy. No beta policy — fixed (plain2), descending schedule (would-be betacos),
+or measured retreat (ratchet) — survives it; removing the bias (bsign) removes the sink.
+Bonus instrument value: the staircase is the first continuous in-vivo ceiling-trajectory
+measurement (a plain lineage's ceiling vs step curve, free of controller-climb artifacts).
+LADDER STANDS: cent 3.3318 (1.67x) | bsign 3.3349 (1.0x, zero events) | plain2 3.3437 (stall)
+| ratchet 3.4200 (stall@~131k). 135M gate now = bsign_s2 confirmation only (102k/234k, clean).

### RESULT 56 (2026-07-21): BSIGN CROWN SEALED 3.3349 — THE 1.0x-COST CROWN EXISTS; the
sink is BIAS-DRIVEN (user's "no effect" bet resolved AGAINST, happily). Sign randomization
alone (Scellier-Bengio random nudge sign, one flag, zero extra phases) held the corridor for
