A4 was not opened and confirmation seeds 10--14 were not touched. +The executable post-failure diagnosis finds a specific precursor rather than +only a bad endpoint. Before nonfiniteness, the apical prediction--target cosine +never exceeds `8.51e-5` in magnitude, while calibration MSE differs from target +power by at most `6.96e-8` relatively. Target power grows `2560.7x` from epoch +1 to 80 and `2.13e9x` by epoch 87. Thus the positive short-run teaching +alignment cannot be attributed to successful causal calibration of `A`; the +full-spatial K1 estimator is effectively all noise after projection into the +small channel-gated vectorizer.
