handoff+method: land the ordinal retraction where the claims live

Browse Source 
Marks the two void splash rows in the capture-comparison data file, withdraws the
three claims in HANDOFF, and corrects the METHOD entry -- whose 'a gradient across
buckets is not a mechanism' near-miss was itself resolved by a counter-example
taken with the wrong index.

General form recorded: an index that silently means something else produces
well-formed output for the wrong object, and this project has now been bitten
twice from opposite directions with 'everything still validates' both times.

📌 And the near-miss on top: the census made "narrow window ⇒ bad settle pose" look
obvious — 45.1 % against 15.0 % — and it is **refuted by two screens inside the
filtered-out band**, which win by 75× and 33×. **A gradient across buckets is not a

which here point the opposite way.
obvious — 45.1 % against 15.0 % — and I thought it **refuted** by two screens that
appeared to sit in the filtered-out band while winning 75×.
🔴 **That refutation was itself wrong**, and the correction is the sharper entry.
Those two screens were addressed by **build ordinal** where I believed I was giving
a **pak entry** — `[10] → entry 12` — so I had rendered the loading screens. Their
real windows are the *widest* of the five. **A counter-example is a measurement too,
and mine was taken with the wrong index.**
⚠️ **The general form: an index that silently means something else produces
well-formed output for the wrong object.** This project has now been bitten twice
from opposite directions, and both times "everything still validates". When a
counter-example arrives that overturns a gradient, check *what it is a measurement
of* before you believe it — the same scrutiny the gradient got.
