2026-07-03omega/norm-family refuted as stability signal; fingerprint story retracted; ↵Yuren Hao
eigreg v2 = true map-eigenvalue (spec_penalty) - eig_control: fix plain-PI bug (shifted PI for lambda_max of indefinite Sym); add lead_rho + spec_penalty (soft one-sided cap on |lam|(I+eps*J_F), 2-D Rayleigh-Ritz, matvec-only) — aep 'spectral' ported. eig_penalty demoted to diagnostic. - eig_recheck.py (Lanczos audit): omega=+5..+13 on ALL operators incl the stablest (s2000 +12.8 while true alpha=-0.02); gap omega-alpha~10; old 'warm -10.14 vs scratch +1.11' numbers were PI-mixture artifacts. RETRACTED. - eig_v2_smoke/depth: v2 mechanics validated vs ARPACK; z_T1 readings >1 are unconverged-state contamination (150: 1.009 -> 400/800: 0.997-0.999, mu=-0.02..-0.006 matching eig_probe); fixed-point top = BAND of slow modes. - lt_ep_train: --eigreg now spec_penalty (--eig_margin 0.995 = rho target); --fingerprint reports rho/Re_mu instead of num_abscissa. - ONBOARDING §4-7 + FINDINGS 2026-07-03: retraction + verdict (fundamental quantity = finite-horizon path LE / resreg axis; de-cliff via floss-ept; spec_penalty = measure-mode scalpel for a detaching Hopf pair).
