+## Phase 9A: Checkpointed Offline Handoff
+
+**Setup**: DFA trajectory with checkpoint at t0=5 (acc=30.4%).
+Offline-fit Vec_M4 on frozen checkpoint (60 epochs). Then branch.
+
+| Branch | final acc | diff vs DFA |
+|--------|-----------|-------------|
+| continue_DFA | 0.311 | baseline |
+| handoff_to_Vec | 0.300 | -0.011 |
+| **handoff_blend_05** | **0.317** | **+0.006** |
+
+**FIRST POSITIVE ONLINE RESULT**: 50% blend (Vec+DFA) outperforms pure DFA by +0.55%.
+
+This is Case B: pure Vec handoff fails, but blend works.
+Vec provides complementary directional credit that DFA alone lacks.
+DFA stabilizes the trajectory while Vec adds learned corrections.
