+POST-G startup counterfactual: exact 70c83b7233888cb7287c8d1905563590c9e72ef4; production a135252ae78b47b57d7e77d19001700b3bedac8b and equilibrium oracle unchanged.
+76 host tests and three exact dry runs pass; three fresh serial cases, no matrix assessor.
+postg_shear_n128; initialization_id=postg_first_gradient_v1; qualification_eligible=false.
+All traces complete: True; total trace rows: 774.
+15 main rows, 24 probes, five source/config/PTX sidecars independently verified before cleanup.
+Equilibrium source1f64f7e cases are historical controls; per-time metrics compared without scalar-equality assertions.
+Finite projected scalar failure retained. Startup compatibility diagnostic only, not a production fix or long-time qualification.
+No extra cases, tuning, reruns, snapshots, field dumps or checkpoints. Fine substeps unresolved.
