Measured before writing anything down: 1. THE FLOOR IS REAL AND MY SPECS WERE BELOW IT. F(n+1)/F(n) convergent error: n=10 -> 1.5e-4, n=17 -> 1.8e-7, n=21 -> 3.7e-9. The emergent parastichy pair of an N-point Vogel lattice sits at ~sqrt(N), so index >=17 needs N >~ F(17)^2 = 2,550,409. W5 was specced at N=4096 (pair F(10)/F(11)) AND its discovery step searched j in {1..60} -- structurally incapable of returning anything above F(10); the sub-floor answer was hardcoded. W2s-a likewise at N=2048. Both briefs corrected (N=F(17)^2, KD-tree discovery with no capped window, scale-matched control 1500/2600 instead of 12/18 which would have failed for scale reasons, not arithmetic ones); both gain an N-sweep arm (B4/G4) so the floor is MEASURED, with the flat-curve reading pre-registered as reportable. 2. THE ANGLE IS NOT WHAT THE FLOOR BINDS (f64 golden angle is irrational to ~1e-16 at any N) -- kept apart so nobody "fixes" the wrong half. 3. BELOW THE FLOOR, ENUMERATE -- THE PHI-SELECTOR MIS-SELECTS. helix KNOWLEDGE.md:320 calls (i*11)%17 the "golden-step" (17/phi=10.51->11). All 16 strides enumerated: prefix star-discrepancy at m=5/9/13 is stride 4 -> 0.2000/0.1111/0.0769 vs stride 11 -> 0.2000/0.1503/0.0905. The shipped CurveRuler stride is measurably better than the phi-derived one. 17/11 = 1.5455, err 7.3e-2 vs phi -- an order worse than 13/8. 4. THE MECHANISM IS TEMPERAMENT, NOT APPROXIMATION. A coprime stride over q is a circle of fifths: it closes the cycle EXACTLY and distributes the comma uniformly (12 pure fifths miss by +23.46 ct; 17-TET stride-10 closes exactly, +3.93 ct/fifth spread). The distributed comma IS D-QUANTGATE's anti-moire dither. Survival property = closure, not goldenness. And "5/3 oder sowas" resolves exactly: the 5/3 sixth is stride 13 = -4 mod 17 (4*13=1) -- stride 4 IS the descending-5/3 circle. Homes: plan SS0 (floor + enumerate rule, binding on every worker) + W5/W2s-a briefs corrected in place (unmerged); report SS10.5 (two-regime table with mechanism column + addressing note: u8 rail < F(17)=1597 -> tier-then-member on the continuum side, non-issue on the quantized side); EPIPHANIES E-THE-GOLDEN-STEP-IS-THE-WRONG-STEP-AT-SMALL-Q-1; ISSUES ISS-HELIX-GOLDEN-STEP-LABEL (label misleads, code is fine -- CurveRuler already uses stride 4). Fourth instance of one shape this week: an asymptotic rule inherited outside its regime (R2-blindness, zero-deletions-proves-prepend, golden-step). Same repair each time: measure in the regime you are actually in. Workers were NOT started; the correction lands before any probe ran.

All twelve quote sites across the plan preamble, report SS10.5, EPIPHANIES entry, and ISSUES entry now carry professional paraphrases with the same attribution ("operator-ruled 2026-08-12") and identical technical content -- the floor, the 17/stride-4 preference, the not-a-golden-section clarification, and the temperament framing are all unchanged in substance. Verified zero verbatim phrases remain. (The already-pushed commit message of 6d45c40d still carries the quotes; rewriting shared-branch history would be worse than the residue.)
