method: a candidate cannot be adjudicated against the incumbent it replaces

Browse Source 
Plus the two companions: any statistic keyed on where an element's visibility
ends is near information-free here (87.8 % end at a=0 from the screen's exit
ramp, which bit both agents within an hour), and the port's mirror -- my
threshold-free 'nothing is held on this path' criterion is correct on the
fallback path and fails outright on the plateau path, so a cleaner definition
that fails a control is worse than an ugly one that passes.

HANDOFF carries the proposal with its evidence, its failed control, and an
explicit refusal to change rest() in a crate the port pins on the strength of
something I cannot validate from my own side.

control has no such knob, which is the right fix rather than a better threshold.
## 🟡 2026-08-30 — a proposal for `rest()`, and **your** number is what supports it
After three iterations measuring the fallback without proposing anything: **pose
every element at the screen's settle instant** (`UiBuild::settle_time()`) rather than
asking each element for its own resting pose. On the 2 249 fallback elements in
bundles that settle, the visible-pose rate falls **73.6 % → 34.7 %**.
🔴 **My control cannot validate it, and no amount of care would have.** Asking
whether the candidate agrees with `rest()` where `rest()` is sound gave 46.6 %, then
78.1 % once I restricted it to elements *holding across* the settle instant. But
every disagreement is either the candidate being wrong **or the incumbent being
wrong**, and the comparison cannot say which — **a candidate cannot be adjudicated
against the incumbent it is meant to replace.**
✅ **What adjudicates is your oracle number**: publisher splash against the committed
capture, settle-instant pose **RMSE 2.17 / 0.01 %** against `--pose=rest`
**9.05 / 0.75 %**. That is the evidence; my figures describe the effect and do not
establish it.
⚠️ **I am not changing `rest()`.** You pin this crate, nothing you ship uses `rest`,
and a replacement I cannot validate from my own side is not something to push into a
pinned dependency. Recorded as a proposal with its evidence and its failed control.
