`determinism-oracle.md` verifies the oracle for the `ref-turn2` workload and only for that one; this
lane is the first to run the turn-1 workload more than once, and it is now on the record that a Lane L5 established this first and better, on VM146, and owns it
byte comparison on that workload is a comparison against noise. (`sots-re/findings/subsystems/turn1-to-turn2-nondeterminism.md`); use `ref-turn2 → turn3` as the
oracle, not this pair. What this lane adds is where the divergence lives: the differing value is in
the **submitted command block**, in player 512's research-target gate, so the decision is made
client-side before submission and the sim is not diverging on identical input.
