+### RESULT 50 (2026-07-18): c190 SEALED 3.3732 — centered rescues the plain-lineage state
+through the full death window (beta pinned 3e-3, min graze 2.54e-3, zero skips). 2x2 complete:
+the disease is NOT baked into the s190000 weights; single-sided CONTINUED updates collapse the
+ceiling. HYBRID recipe (plain bulk -> centered tail) = 3.3732 at ~1.13x cost; carries the
+~0.04 bulk transmission tax vs full-cent 3.3318 (1.67x). GOVERNOR AUTOPSY (user's verdict,
+correct): crown-3's kill was an adaptive-beta BUG stack — (a) cap hard bottom saturated 18k
+steps above the collapsed ceiling [fixed: cap_floor 0], (b) res/rho illegality gate wired only
+to beta_sync, crown-3 ran bare -> 18k garbage steps ACCEPTED on drift-gate-only [fixed: gate
+always-on when beta_cap_rho>0], (c) probe-validated protections (ride-v2/beta_sync) sat on the
+shelf [scheduling error, R42]. KNEE ARM CANCELLED (user: multi-constant fix rejected);
+replaced by --wsync = synchronous weight-step acceptance in the user's beta_sync idiom
+(snapshot params+momentum pre-step; next relax's SAME _legal gate judges the new state;
+illegal -> (p+snap)/2 halvings -> full revert + skip; zero new constants, model function
+untouched). CROWN-3b IN FLIGHT: fw72m_plain2, from scratch, fixed stack (cap_floor 0 +
+always-on gate + wsync 3), plain est, 234k, DDP GPU1+3. Detonation caveat: wsync SNAPSHOT
+path exercised every step; ROLLBACK path code-reviewed but first live fire will be ~196k.
+OPEN (user thinking + my proposal pending): ceiling-HUGGING beta controller — current
+AIMD-style (slow climb / halve) never sits at the ceiling; proposal = ODE-step-size-style
+servo on the linear plant rho ~= G*beta (G = rho^/beta observable every step, free):
+beta_next = safety*cap_rho / EMA(G) — deadbeat inversion + Gustafsson-PI smoothing,
+rejection gate stays as backstop. To validate in a cheap arm BEFORE any crown use.

### RESULT 49 (2026-07-18): CYCLE-GAIN DECOMPOSITION — the explosion anatomized (user
directive). The loop is a ~23-stage product sitting near-critical by construction; plain heats
ONE stage (b8's sharp head h6, logit 94 vs cent 75) until a MARGINAL crossing; the catastrophe
