Round 7 named two open items: a table-block candidate displacing a declared
heading (26 041 characters between entries, `md` at 3 of 4 declared headings)
and 17 590 characters after the last entry, never examined. Measured on
`a364ef4`, the first premise does not reproduce and the second is not a
separate mechanism.
`md` recovers 4 of 4, not 3 of 4. D1 (`--keep-table-heading`) is the repair
for exactly the mechanism round 7 § 5 describes, and round 7 moved it into
the default in the same commit -- so § 5 is a pre-move measurement presented
as the post-move state. That is round 7's own trap, stated in its own report:
a number about a rule is a measurement of a configuration. Nothing held the
cell, which is why it could be wrong and stay wrong.
The remaining gap has ONE cause. Every rule closes a span against the NEXT
MARK; three steps then remove a mark after its neighbour's `end` was fixed
against it. The orphan check leaks 18 527 characters over 15 of 39 documents,
`fold_units` clause 1 leaks 7 514 between entries, and the same clause on the
last run leaks all 17 590 tail characters -- with `unit_fold=False` the corpus
tail gap is 0. Round 6 already established the principle (filter at admission,
let the mark above carry the text) and it was never applied post-filter.
`--close-span-gaps` states it once, after the fold, where every removal has
happened: a span runs to the next SURVIVOR, the last to the end of the text.
It adds no boundary. Measured: 43 631 characters (2.51 %) -> 0, entries
429 = 429, K2 concepts 436 = 436, the operator's folder 52 md = 52.
All four acceptance conditions hold at once. The 12-position reference is
label-identical -- 11 of 12 under |F|[3]=12 and 10 of 12 under |F|[3]=11,
both readings reported, not one position moved. hit@8 holds [1,1,1,1,1,-] on
the round 8 bundle (436), the round 7 default (436) and Arm B (629), and the
known-negative reproduces on the new bytes: `--no-tie-shared-rank` gives
[2,1,1,1,1,-].
The pin is rebuilt against the default that actually ships
(`K2-bundle-default-20260911`, 832 files, digest 8c93e5e3...); two independent
builds of it differ in nothing, `log.md` included.
Two measurement failures are recorded rather than hidden. The corpus identity
check first used `xargs` without `-print0`, every filename split on its
spaces, `shasum` read nothing, and both sides agreed on a digest of the
failure; a control against the digest of empty input separated them. And the
smoke build cannot prove the flag arrives -- the operator's folder has a
coverage gap of zero already, so `diff -rq` is 0 either way; the plumbing has
its own test on a document that has the defect.
