 `MIRROR_BASELINE.md` freezes that comparator's CIFAR-prefix capture, short
 accuracy, and conditional full-validation gates.
 
+After estimate-then-average WM narrowly failed its short accuracy gate, the
+next substantive inherited control uses residual response mirroring. Q predicts
+the observed child response and learns only from the local prediction error;
+unlike WM, its update is zero for every probe at exact symmetry. The extra
+feedback prediction convolution is charged explicitly, and this rule receives
+no SDIL novelty credit.

 The subsequent V3 mechanism estimates the required A/G matrix statistics
 directly by perturbing the vectorizer parameter subspace. It remains
 forward-only and uses two causal loss queries per direction. Its exact and
