58c2cd14b4 lane E3: ten addresses for the visibility record, and the standalone's new distance
The NVE writer 0x00756300 and its four siblings, `ltis`'s writer 0x00743ec0, the
encounter-placement routine whose unserialised field feeds Eid, the tail phase that
calls the writer, and the resolution of an indirect edge lane B5 left open --
ServerSystem primary vftable 0x00a2044c slot 7 is 0x007480b0, and it writes only a
runtime mask, so it never reaches the wire.

None of the ten collides with an address already in the DB (checked against all 714
addressed entries across addresses.json and every fragment); gen_addresses.py
validated to a scratch path at 1019 entries, no duplicate names.

Standalone report regenerated from the lane worktree:
  turn1 -> turn2   209 -> 158   closed 51, regressed 0
  turn2 -> turn3   108 ->  87   closed 21, regressed 0

fbe3c7bd86 lane E2: T36 measured with the ship census wired in -- 29 closed / 7 regressed, and the two things it is still blocked on
standalone_report.py regenerated from sots-engine wip/turnrecord. The reference pair does
not move by design: T36 does not commit by default, so 209 -> 204, closed 5 / regressed 0
and 108 -> 103, closed 5 / regressed 0 are unchanged. What moved in section 6 is the phase
tally, 14/44 modelled and 8 committed -> 15/44 and 9, from the A2 and D2 merges. verified
stays 0 on both tables.

t36-turnrecord.md carries the measurement the default run cannot show: with
--commit-blocked=T36 and a data root, the reference pair closes 29 leaves and regresses 7
(was 9). Two of the three census leaves close; the third is short by exactly one destroyer
on both pairs, because no phase we run builds a ship. The census model itself reproduces
480/480 archived census leaves over 11 saves with 0 mismatches.

T36 stays blocked: sav and inc on lane E1's budget, and one ship count on unmodelled
construction. A field-granular commit knob is not implementable -- the archived record is
one struct on the wire and has no hole to leave.

Coverage: 32 of 480 census leaves are nonzero anywhere in the corpus; cls1 and cls2's
platform count are unexercised, not verified.

c471a5515f lane Y: the standalone's generator against lane Z's calibrated oracle pairs, and the tail's turn record
The standalone now models the turn's dominant generator cost -- 16 of a measured 18-22
words -- and lands 4 and 2 short of the two calibrated pairs, which is exactly the
per-call-site ledger's split for those turns. The state block is byte-identical; only
left differs. The answer to 'does it match the oracle' is no, by a stated amount, and
tools/rng_oracle_check.py is the instrument that says so.

The tail's last phase is modelled for the six turn-record fields recoverable from the
wire and checked against the record the game itself archived: 480 fields over 80
player-records, 0 mismatches. It stays blocked; --commit-blocked shows exactly which
five fields are missing and what they cost.

By-product, and probably worth more than the phase: the stored bankruptcy elimination
limit is injective in the maximum-income sum it is built from, so every save states the
per-system output term that blocks ComputeBudget. tools/max_income_oracle.py inverts it
-- 25 player-records over the corpus -- and recovers the protection factor as 3.3 from
the saves rather than from the data files. It also shows the engine's -0.15 divisor
disagrees with the game on 6 of those 25.

divergence unchanged: 209->204 and 108->103, 5 closed / 0 regressed on both pairs.

c504729341 lane S2: the standalone scaffold, and the measured distance to the byte-match
tools/standalone_report.py drives sots-engine's sots_turn over each
consecutive-turn save pair and diffs the result against the game's own
post-turn save with state_checksum.py, which localises to named leaves and
proves its own coverage by re-serialisation.

  turn1-state -> turn2-state   baseline 209 diverging, after 204, closed 5
  turn2-state -> turn3-state   baseline 108 diverging, after 103, closed 5
  regressed 0 on both

`regressed` is reported next to `closed` and never netted off. It earned its
place immediately: committing the phase-31 player-status restore turned two
agreeing leaves into disagreeing ones, because the phase writes 1 and the file
carries 4.

The stable-system stand-in feeding the colony pass is a labelled hypothesis and
it survived a changed workload -- the same 3 ntdev leaves closed on both pairs,
six agreements, zero disagreements.

Two things deliberately NOT implemented: the TShn/ltis counters (18 leaves, a
`+1` would close them, but "+1 across one observed turn" is a hypothesis, not a
reading), and the RNG state write-back (an advanced-but-incomplete generator is
wrong in a different way from an untouched one).

dashboard.py gains section 6, reading verify/results/standalone/status.json:
phases modelled/committed per driver, baseline vs after, closed vs regressed,
the subsystem breakdown of what still differs, and the RNG gap. Sections 6-8
renumbered to 7-9; the delta footer tracks the two new counts.
DASHBOARD_README.md documents every number.

findings/control-flow/standalone-scaffold.md has the ranked blocker list.
