 at 6× while being **capture-verified exact** in the truth table — a useful
 reminder that a bulky hull is not a bug.
 
+### What the exact-coverage fix actually reached
+
+The fix was justified on one resource (`e106_bdy_03`) and one render. Comparing
+whole-disc decodes at `XBG7_COVER_SLACK=4` and `=1` shows what else moved:
+
+- **29 resources changed anchor**, 3 stopped decoding, 6 207 unchanged.
+- Of the moved ones that appear in several containers, **0 matched the sibling
+  consensus before the fix and 9 match it after** — the fix moved them onto the
+  block their own copies agree on, and moved none away from it.
+- **22 of the 29 were carrying another resource's geometry** under their own
+  name.
+
+The clearest case is a **shift chain** in `Stage_S28`: `n054_bdy_l` was decoding
+`n056_bdy_l`'s geometry, and `n056_bdy_l` was decoding `n055_bdy_l`'s — each
+resource landing on a neighbour's block, all of them plausible-looking meshes of
+the right vertex count. `n054_bdy_l` decoded `(396, 315, 328)` in four containers
+where its own copies agree on `(439, 284, 270)`.
+
+That is the failure mode that matters for a reimplementation: not a missing
+decode, but a **confidently wrong one under the right name** — and no
+count-based metric can see it, because every count is correct. It took the
+coverage invariant (real blocks reach their pool's last vertex) to separate them.
+
+(Seven of the 29 carried geometry no resource claims. And the `ptc_pack.xpr`
+`eff_*` entries in the list are small effect quads that all share one span, so
+their "owner" attribution is weak — noted rather than counted.)

 ### The containment screen, and a correction: the assembler is NOT at fault
 
 `examples/envelope_screen.rs` is the metric the eye actually used: assemble a
