+### Short square orientation diagnostic (`axis_square_shear_n128`)
+
+Four fresh cases only: U128, U256, constant R128 and projected R128 depth 2.
+Use `--flow shear_wave --diagnostic axis_square_shear_n128 --probe-trace`.
+The supported union is `[[(32,32,96,96)]]`; a full-height periodic fine strip
+is not supported by the unchanged production geometry. All four cases use
+POST G = feq - (tau - 1) A, mode (2,0), polarization (0,1), phase pi/4,
+U=.03 and Re100. Root/fine nu are .0384/.0768 and tau are .6152/.7304.
+This first-gradient low-Mach initialization is not an exact discrete mode.
+
+Stop at root step 8: two global rows at 0/8, nine local rows at 0..8;
+U256 advances two native steps per root step. Refined leaves are [12288,16384],
+hops [8,16], work 360,448 per refined case. Four-case work is 1,900,544 ACTIVE
+updates, six build sidecars and 720 native cell-time samples. Existing runtime,
+build/source guards and receipt/trace caps apply. No snapshots or late fit.
+`screening_pass=null`, `qualification_eligible=false`: exit zero means valid
+finite completion, with no physical pass threshold or legacy assessor.
+
+Eight root-unit-cell groups (i,j): inner L/R/B/T = (32,64)/(95,63)/(64,32)/(63,95),
+outer L/R/B/T = (31,64)/(96,63)/(64,31)/(63,96). Refined inner groups contain four
+fine cells, outer groups one coarse cell; U128 uses one and U256 four per group.
+Retain raw rho/ux/uy, native indices, physical centers/areas and parity. Group
+residuals are signed means of rho-1 and rho*u-u_exact, evaluated at each actual
+center; normalization uses that group's mean analytic d(uy)/dx. Only inner
+L/B and R/T pairs have exactly opposite equal-magnitude gradients. Controls
+have their own native quadrature. Probe density is ungauged; global pressure
+RMS uses one domain gauge.
+
+Actual-table local corridors match tangentially extended straight faces beyond
+22.5 root cells. The conservative paired-map radius is 2.5 root cells per root
+step, so these selected groups through step 8 are locally straight-face
+equivalent. This is not a claim about global corner errors. For projected
+explosion with actual missing-normal-gradient fallback, the stationary
+linearized affine reference after the first complete root interval predicts
+zero conserved-moment error on vertical faces. At the
+bottom/top inner fine quartets its mean delta jx / d(uy)/dx is
+-/+ 1/(576*tau_f), with opposite adjacent-coarse redistribution.
+Keep raw values, step-zero rounding and fresh controls: sinusoidal curvature
+and finite-Mach effects prevent treating this coefficient as an exact gate.
