+# Selective LES normalization integration on dev8403956
+
+This change reuses the reviewed correction from 5465832 without merging its
+branch history. The only production change is the two closed-form coefficients
+18 -> 18 sqrt(2) and their explanatory comments in turbulence_smag.cuh. Its SHA256
+is a3db46c2e7d27530b2d1436e65cdbed0b72cc7e047bfbeef2a640877271b51aa.
+Defaults, iterative/deviatoric/capped closure, collision dispatch, AMR guards,
+and all other production source files are unchanged.
+
+## Separate source contract; unchanged experiment
+
+The single existing flow runner now accepts `--experiment dev8403956`.
+Its separate source_pins_dev8403956.json pins all 101 production files from the
+committed 8403956 baseline; corrected mode permits only the exact reviewed
+header substitution. Results record the actual checkout commit, import path,
+experiment name and manifest SHA256. No arbitrary manifest-path override exists.
+
+Omitting the option still selects the original historical source manifest.
+That manifest, the original paired receipts, scalar preparation manifests and
+independent continuum oracle are unchanged. Historical baseline and corrected
+receipts remain evidence for their own exact sources, not new dev receipts.
+Historical guards intentionally reject this different dev source tree. Eight
+production files already differed between the historical source snapshot and
+8403956; neither the old manifest nor its acceptance is silently regenerated.
+
+The physical experiment and every numerical acceptance threshold are unchanged:
+8 x 34 nodes, halfway y walls, periodic x, unforced D2Q9/SRT, shifted FP32,
+double-buffer streaming, Cs=0/.16/1, checkpoints 519/1038/2075. Each case has one
+actual advancing warm-up followed by complete initial-state restoration before
+READY. Total launches are 6,225 measured plus three warm-ups. Cs=1 remains an
+amplified diagnostic, not a physical coefficient recommendation.
+
+## Host checks

+    PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python -m unittest discover -s tests/unit -p 'test_les_flow_*.py' -v
+
+The direct-current-header test is copied unchanged from reviewed 5465832:
+120 tensor parameter cases, Cs=0/equilibrium and omega guards, converged
+trace-free iterative comparison, and mutation detection in both lattice
+algebras. This is scalar D2/D3 algebra coverage, not 3D-flow qualification.
+Flow tests retain analytic/reference checks and add current named-source,
+reverse-patched baseline, variant rejection, unrelated-source tampering and
+immutable historical-default checks. The temporary baseline is constructed
+only inside a test directory; production is never reverse-patched.
+
+## Pending final-commit GPU gate
+
+After independent review and explicit executor authorization, run from the
+exact committed candidate checkout, selecting the authorized physical GPU:

+
+Retain all source hashes, exact commit/import/device identity, manifest hash,
+three READY/reset records, complete result JSON, stdout/stderr and actual exit.
+Require all frozen gates, DONE passed=true and exit 0. Compare with historical
+corrected evidence without relabeling it as current evidence. The old-vs-new
+normalization discrimination already exists; no new baseline GPU run is needed
+unless review finds a changed exercised uniform solver path.
+
+No GPU result is claimed by this integration preparation. This does not expand
+LES qualification to MRT, forcing, AMR LES or three-dimensional turbulent flows.

+`FixedPatchStepper(..., explosion="projected_linear")` changes only the existing

+compact tables per adjacent pair; recursion, collision, BFL, restriction, buffer
+ownership and synchronized publication are unchanged. `remap_child` preserves it.
+
+Runtime eligibility is periodic-root, fully blocked D2Q9/SRT/FP32, body/Jet-free,
+without LES; the fixed-patch backend has no forcing interface. Shifted and unshifted
+storage use the same reconstruction. One generic builder handles scalar windows,
+unique union rows and all adjacent hierarchy pairs without depth/rectangle caps.
+Donors are original explosion donors intersected with owned, uncovered ACTIVE
+cells. An axis uses centered differences only if both neighbors are legal;
+otherwise both addresses repeat the center. Nested layout periodicity is explicit.
+No covered cells, holes, inactive cells or stale halo copies enter the stencil.
+
+The 33-line kernel is unchanged from our `519473a` experiment and retains its
+mathematical attribution. Host tests cover union decomposition, concavity, narrow
+gaps, grazing packet paths, offsets, sparse/nested owner addresses, three/four-level
+source timing, unchanged constant dispatch, remapping and shifted/unshifted actual
+kernel arithmetic compiled as host C++. These are not CUDA or flow validation.
+
+## Reviewed bounded evidence
+
+The `1aa8110` CUDA gate, with production exactly `a135252`, passed exact-dev
+omitted/default and explicit-constant equivalence, per-population reconstruction,
+scalar/union/four-level scheduling, alternate layouts, and changed remapping in
+both storage modes. Operator maximum error was 2.98023224e-8; the eight-step
+concave replay maximum was 1.58037614e-7. Whole-step mass/momentum remain
+finite diagnostics, not an FP32 conservation certificate. Reviewed evidence:
+`7aa66ff0542175092753ea099f40b903ece0527e`.
+
+The fresh four-case `2cf9853` N128/256 Taylor–Green repeat retained all `11901a7`
+settings and gates. All 20 main scalar rows and 260 early-pressure samples matched
+the older receipts exactly; this is not field-array equality. Projected worst
+velocity was 0.001995299260844 versus 0.002 (only 0.235% margin), pressure
+0.012157174904932 and energy 0.001184362645162. Constant velocity
+0.004418076615223 failed its gate, so the aggregate verdict remains false.
+The projected early sampled pressure peak was 0.021621453573334; it remains a
+descriptive sampled maximum. Reviewed evidence: `90849a55cad4a0da9b72747da7bfe6eb75962a44`.
+
+The old N64 projected failures remain relevant. These results support only this
+bounded plumbing gate and short periodic Re100 smooth-decay experiment. They do
+not establish union/multilevel physics accuracy, convergence, long-time stability,
+body/Jet, boundary, forcing, MRT or LES suitability. Constant remains the default.
+
+## Separate LES source profile
+
+The two older LES source manifests and the historical default are unchanged and
+correctly reject this different source tree. The existing LES runner now offers
+`--experiment a135252`, pinning all 101 actual committed corrected source files.
+Its explicit baseline-header override describes only a synthetic isolated reverse
+control, never the committed a135252 header. The unchanged corrected-only uniform
+LES regression (Cs=0/.16/1) is the remaining integration gate; no LES result is
+inherited from the projected evidence. The separate historical jet-CV `channel.py`
+pin mismatch predates this port and is not addressed here.

+
+## What changes
+- `blocks.cu` (`BlockStep`), `step/block_channel.cu` (`BlockChannelStep`) and `refinement.cu`
+  (`patch_collide`) gain a compile-time `COLLISION_MODEL == 2` branch that repeats the uniform
+  `collide_dispatch` sequence with zero forcing: `compute_rho_u`, omega clamp to
+  `[OMEGA_COLLISION_MIN, OMEGA_COLLISION_MAX]`, `collide_mrt_no_force`.
+- Kernel and host guards accept SRT or MRT only. TRT, LES, non-FP32 storage, non-double-buffer
+  streaming, and shifted dense/mixed refinement remain rejected.
+- Transfers, subcycling, BFL, raw exchange ledgers and channel closures are untouched. The
+  existing pressure-NEQ outlet selects its MRT branch (unknowns-only NEQ extrapolation) from
+  `COLLISION_MODEL`, so MRT channel parity must use uniform MRT as reference.
+
+## Contracts (existing operator, not redefined here)
+- Shifted storage uses the existing MRT representation (equilibrium moments from `rho - 1`),
+  not the SRT retained-delta/direct-momentum precision. Mass and momentum are conserved
+  moments (relaxation rate 0).
+- Kinetic rates are the operator's fixed `s_e = s_eps = s_q = 1.2` on every level; the shear
+  rate is the existing per-level omega. Under acoustic 2:1 scaling the physical bulk viscosity
+  therefore halves on each finer level. No rate rescaling is applied.
+- No LES, no external forcing (`d_params` force fields stay zero).
+- Shifted Jets stay SRT-only: `body/jets.py` keeps its existing guard. This extension does not
+  provide shifted MRT Jets.
+- `PeriodicBlockStepper` (uniform blocked stepper) remains SRT-only.
+
+## Evidence status
+CPU: `tests/unit/test_refinement_mrt.py` (host guards, source contract). GPU:
+`tests/validation/multigrid/test_refinement_mrt_gpu.py` (uniform-MRT channel parity, AMR MRT
+smoke) and unchanged SRT GPU tests. Strict parity may be subject to cross-kernel FMA
+contraction differences already documented for SRT. Not a DFG/benchmark validation.

+
+The related host checks passed (67 checks); they do not replace the GPU or
+physical-accuracy evidence above. Preserve the existing SRT checkpoint cases,
+historical LES manifests and all frozen numerical criteria.
+
+Continue the TG accuracy investigation using its actual fine-level rates and
+the established analytic convention. Keep the physical accuracy gate open until
+the relevant comparison passes. Review this integration independently before
+publication; no new merged-commit GPU run is claimed here.
+
+No repeat of the accepted full MRT DFG or Cartesian expansion across unsupported
+combinations is required by this document. Main integration remains a separate
+review of complete, bounded feature scope.

+# Matched MRT DFG pilot preparation
+
+Preparation only: this test-only extension reuses the existing runner and existing MRT
+operator. GPU admission awaits reviewed MRT capability results; no pilot/full execution
+is implied by CPU preflight. No production, historical SRT manifest, reference data,
+periodic gate, geometry, initialization or observation algorithm is changed here.
+
+## Selection and provenance
+
+Use `--collision MRT` for **both** uniform D80 and refined root D40/fine D80. There are
+no independently selectable collision models per case. Default remains SRT.
+
+MRT verifies `data/refined_dfg/source_manifest_mrt.json`, pinned to reviewed numerical
+source snapshot `3ea131e92c057843034f11a1c574301a2430dfce`, including the shared geometry,
+pressure/cycle helpers and official reference. Test-only commits may change HEAD without
+changing this numerical source pin. Plan, READY, case summaries and comparison separately
+record `checkout_revision` and `checkout_dirty` using existing source-provenance helper;
+the runner hash remains separate. Collision is recorded in every receipt, and full-mode
+validation rejects missing or different collision labels in plan, either summary or either
+READY receipt, in addition to existing source/runner/health/time checks.
+
+The historical SRT manifest remains byte-for-byte unchanged. SRT on the MRT candidate
+checkout deliberately fails that source pin; use a matching historical checkout via
+`--source` for SRT. No fallback or automatic repinning is permitted. Historical SRT
+failure/diagnostic evidence remains attached to its original source and runner hashes;
+it cannot authorize an MRT full run. The existing failed-observation step-reporting
+undercount is not changed in this narrowly scoped selection patch.
+
+## Frozen physical comparison
+
+All settings remain those documented in `refined_dfg.md`: U_lattice=.01, physical mean
+U=1 m/s, D=.1 m, shear ν=.001 m²/s, fixed physical domain/body/wall planes, patch
+(40,24,320,140), shifted FP32 double buffers, no LES/forcing/Jets, finest dx=.00125 m,
+finest dt=.0000125 s, unchanged half-cell frame conversion and axis-specific phase.
+Force interval accumulation, physical leaf mass, pressure interpolation, flux sampling,
+safety thresholds, t*=5 pilot and t*=300 cap are unchanged. Existing accuracy/periodicity
+criteria are imported unchanged. Both MRT cases are fresh runs; old MRT or SRT results
+are not substituted as controls.
+
+Both cases use the **existing MRT pressure-NEQ branch**: only unknown directions q2/6/8
+are extrapolated. This differs from SRT's all-nine .5-damped branch; the retained
+`srt_neq_damp=.5` configuration value is inactive under MRT. Backflow clamp remains off.
+The outlet is still noncanonical relative to exact DFG do-nothing conditions.
+
+The reused MRT operator keeps fixed kinetic rates `s_e=s_eps=s_q=1.2` on all levels;
+only the shear rate follows existing per-level viscosity. Physical bulk relaxation
+therefore differs between coarse and fine levels. Transfer operators and subcycling
+are unchanged. This is the candidate's declared behavior, not a new fully mode-scaled
+MRT transfer scheme. Do not tune rates, the patch or gates after seeing outcomes.
+Capability smoke/parity gates do not establish DFG accuracy or speedup.
+
+## CPU and admission commands
+
+From this checkout:
+
+```sh
+python tests/unit/test_refined_dfg.py
+python tests/validation/run_refined_dfg.py --collision MRT --mode plan --output /tmp/new-mrt-dfg-plan
+```
+
+After root verifies the candidate MRT root/parity/refinement capability results and admits
+an idle device, the paired pilot may use the existing bounds and external watchdog:
+
+```sh
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<admitted-device> timeout --signal=TERM --kill-after=30s <hard-budget>s python tests/validation/run_refined_dfg.py --collision MRT --mode pilot --gpu-gates-approved --max-wall-seconds <soft-budget> --output <new-mrt-pilot-directory>
+```
+
+The flag is caller attestation, not evidence. An unhealthy first case prevents the second.
+Existing strict pilot receipt validation and calibrated wall-time controls remain; full
+mode is not being admitted as part of this preparation. Root must review both healthy
+pilot outcomes and separately decide any full-run admission.

+
+| Variant | Loop | Force reads |
+|---|---|---|
+| A | refined `step(1)` + `read_raw_exchange` per base step | runner-like force-read workload (values discarded) |

+
+- No variant retains a valid force history; A/E omit the runner's interval aggregation and
+  validation, and no variant includes macro/probe/CSV costs. Results are not full benchmark
+  throughput.
+- Status lines: `CONSTRUCTED` (construction/JIT complete) and `WARM_READY` (first warm-up and
+  health check passed) per case.
+- Equal simulated duration: N refined base steps vs 2N uniform D80 steps.
+- Every repeat starts from the same fresh state (refined `initialize`, uniform `snapshot/restore`)
+  and the same warm-up; construction/JIT, warm-up, downloads and parity checks are untimed.
+- The actual stepping stream is synchronized explicitly before and after each timed loop; the
+  wall timer (`time.perf_counter`) is the only source. No CUDA-event span is called kernel time.
+- `--max-wall-seconds` is required for GPU runs (outer timeout, checked between variants and
+  every 100 steps in per-step loops).
+- Final populations and NaN masks must be bitwise identical to the first A repeat (A/B/C) or the
+  first E repeat (E/E'); refined and uniform grids are never compared. Leaf/fluid populations
+  must be finite. Physical health (finite leaf/fluid macros, rho in [0.5, 1.5], max Mach <= 0.2,
+  the existing runner limits) is checked after warm-up and after each timed window. Matching NaN
+  is accepted only as a storage mask; any infinity or level-count mismatch fails parity. All
+  parity/health checks are untimed.
+- Cases run sequentially (uniform, then refined) in one process with startup serialized;
+  variants are interleaved within each repeat. A-B and B-C are measured comparative
+  differences under GPU variability, not exact causal decompositions.
+

+Defaults: 2000 base steps, 200 warm-up base steps, 3 repeats. Profiler capture and the
+`observe_raw_exchange=False` variant are deferred until these measurements exist.

+# Opt-in observation-window ledger in the DFG runner
+
+This test-only integration adds `--exchange-window` to `run_refined_dfg.py`. It uses the
+existing production ledger; no collision, boundary, transfer, physical setup, reference,
+periodicity gate or acceptance threshold changes. Default remains the historical
+per-base-step observation path. Uniform stepping/force accumulation is unchanged.
+
+For the refined case, each existing observation interval opens a new ledger at completed
+base step `begin`, advances exactly the same `n` base intervals, and reads the integrated
+root-lattice impulse for `[begin, begin+n]`. The contract requires root units, `window`
+kind, `2*n` fine samples, matching endpoints, and fine dt=.5. The existing coefficient
+calculation still divides this impulse by `n` and `.5*U_lattice**2*D_root`; force timestamps
+remain `(begin+n/2)*U_lattice/D_root`. It does not divide an already averaged force again.
+Pressure/macro/physical-leaf mass measurements and safety checks remain at the original
+interval end. Pilot interval is 80 root steps; early full-run intervals remain 2000, and
+any final shortened interval uses its actual `n`.
+
+The opt-in uses one `step(n)` call and one window read per observation, rather than `n`
+Python calls/readbacks. Internal subcycling and per-base synchronization remain owned by
+the same backend. Cooperative deadline checks surround that complete interval; unlike
+the default path they cannot interrupt between base steps inside `step(n)`. The existing
+external hard watchdog is still required. The full-run cadence/cap is documented here,
+but this preparation does not admit a full run or a GPU operation.
+
+## Provenance and receipt separation
+
+`source_manifest_window.json` pins the reviewed a233c9032487a6006e950d1e327079b00466c410
+snapshot (production ledger origin d930) plus existing helper/reference files. Both SRT
+and MRT are supported by this explicit opt-in source pin; collision selection remains
+independent and shared by the two cases. Existing SRT and MRT manifests are untouched.
+Default mode continues to reject the changed candidate under those historical pins;
+use a matching historical `--source` checkout to run its default path. There is no
+silent repinning, source fallback, or reuse of historical outputs as candidate evidence.
+
+Plan, READY, summaries, timeout/comparison receipts now record `observation_mode` as
+`last_base_step` or `window`, alongside collision and actual checkout provenance. On a
+uniform receipt this labels its **paired campaign's refined observation mode**, not a
+change to uniform observation. Full-mode pilot validation rejects missing or mismatched
+mode labels in the plan, either case summary, and either READY receipt. Source/runner
+hash, collision, completeness and health checks remain. Cross-mode pilot reuse is denied.
+
+The earlier short A/W/W1 timing/capability evidence is not a full-run speedup or accuracy
+claim. Mathematical impulse integration/units are unchanged; floating-point reduction
+order can differ, so bitwise equality of force sums is not promised. Physics acceptance
+continues to use the existing frozen gates. Historical failures/results are untouched.
+
+CPU preparation commands, from the repository root:
+
+```sh
+python tests/unit/test_refined_dfg.py
+PYTHONPATH=src python -m unittest tests.unit.test_raw_exchange_window tests.unit.test_time_window_dfg -v
+python tests/validation/run_refined_dfg.py --collision MRT --exchange-window --mode plan --output /tmp/new-window-dfg-plan
+```
+
+Root must independently review and admit any execution. An admitted paired pilot uses
+the existing watchdog, device selection, `--gpu-gates-approved`, positive
+`--max-wall-seconds` and a new output directory, adding only `--exchange-window` to the
+selected collision's pilot command. No GPU or remote action was performed for this patch.

-# First-failure uniform SRT diagnostic (prepared, not executed)
-
-Purpose: locate the first physical failure in the unchanged uniform D80 SRT control that was healthy at executed step 160 and nonfinite at the next observation, executed step 320. The original failure's summary `steps=160` is the last accepted observation, not the last executed step. This diagnostic does not select different numerical parameters, run an AMR case or perform a new benchmark campaign.
-
-## Exact source and configuration
-
-The default source is the containing repository (override with `--source`); the exact pinned production/runtime source is commit `9805383f9c50d867e8555471baf5dbda8333a652`. The manifest pins production files and the helper/runner dependencies directly against the original failure's `source_before.json`. All pinned contents match. Import guards require CelerisLab and the runner from the selected pinned checkout.
-
-The script calls the original `run_refined_dfg.config(helper,80)` factory and unchanged `Simulation(...).initialize()`. Thus it retains D80, U=.01, ν=.008, τ=.524, ω≈1.9084, shifted FP32, SRT, double buffer, parabolic local Zou–He inlet, all-nine pressure-NEQ damping .5, backflow clamp disabled, identical cylinder geometry and initialization. No clipping, equilibrium rewrite or solver patch is added.
-
-The inlet overload in this source may differ by FP32 rounding from older d79 code even where the algebra matches; that is not changed here and is not established as the cause of failure. MRT's outlet branch also differs. Neither prior MRT success nor this diagnostic establishes an SRT/outlet/body attribution.
-
-## Observation and stop contract
-
-- At most 320 actual solver steps, starting from the original fresh initialization. Stop at the first physical health failure (or wall deadline).
-- Read the production macroscopic path, its decoded populations, and force after every completed step. Preserve the actual executed count separately from the last observed count.
-- Independently report nonfinite physical populations, nonfinite physical macros and nonfinite reaction. Apply the original density [.5,1.5] and Mach≤.2 checks to physical FLUID nodes. A new population-only check may stop earlier than the original macro-only health check; the report explicitly distinguishes it.
-- Per-step `Simulation.run(1)` resets/reads the observation buffer for a one-step force window. This changes observation cadence and force accumulation windows, not configuration or fluid updates. A cumulative-force-only overflow from the original 100/60-step batching would not be reproduced identically; that limitation is explicit. Original macro warnings already show nonfinite populations/macros, so this instrument prioritizes locating the physical failure.
-- Ghost/inactive/body-solid populations are reported in separate categories; their NaNs do not independently trigger physical failure. Category masks are disjoint and complete. Boundary subtypes are decoded as the nibble, not mistaken for independent bit flags.
-- Physical region labels are body-near (within radius+3 cells), outlet/inlet-near (three fluid columns), wall-near (three fluid rows), and remaining bulk. These locate symptoms, not causal mechanisms.
-- Initial, preceding and firstbad/final compact reports retain category counts, finite global extrema and positions, the first 16 offending nodes in row-major order, their bad q indices/all populations, and up to four 5×5 population/flag neighborhoods. “First” identifies earliest sampled step; within that step the list is row-major, not an asserted temporal order among GPU threads.
-
-## Bounded evidence
-
-Only the immediately preceding and firstbad/final active-buffer states are retained. `states.npz` contains their exact raw shifted FP32 values, production-decoded FP32 populations and step numbers, plus flags. This is ~81 MiB at the exact D80 shape, with a 128 MiB artifact limit enforced. There are no saved field trajectories. Initial conditions are reproducible from the source/config; only their diagnostic summary is retained.
-
-These are diagnostic snapshots, not full restart checkpoints (spare buffers and observation/control state are not a restart bundle). `diagnostics.json` stores nonfinite numbers as explicit `NaN`, `+Inf`, `-Inf` strings and is strict finite JSON; NPZ preserves actual IEEE values. A force-only failure can have no offending fluid node. A clean cap means no sampled failure through 320, not benchmark acceptance.
-
-## CPU validation
-
-```sh
-python tests/validation/uniform_srt_diagnostic/test_diagnostic.py
-python tests/validation/uniform_srt_diagnostic/diagnose_uniform_srt.py --output /tmp/new-srt-preflight
-```
-
-Seven CPU-only tests pass: source/config, complete category partition, inactive nonfinite exclusion, independent population/macro/force reasons, health thresholds, bounded two-state artifact writing, and deadline/source guards. `py_compile` and the real-source default preflight pass. No CUDA import is required by preflight/tests and no GPU was executed here.
-
-## Root-only admitted execution
-
-After independent review and root GPU admission:
-
-```sh
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<admitted-device> timeout --signal=TERM --kill-after=30s <hard-budget>s python tests/validation/uniform_srt_diagnostic/diagnose_uniform_srt.py --source <exact-9805383-checkout> --execute --gpu-admitted --wall-seconds <soft-budget> --output <new-output-directory>
-```
-
-The external watchdog is required for a blocked CUDA call; cooperative wall checks cannot interrupt one. Budget should allow per-step downloads and ~81 MiB evidence writing; this diagnostic is not a performance measurement. The step ceiling cannot be increased by a CLI flag. `READY` is emitted after the first completed step and all observation paths. First physical failure is expected diagnostic evidence and returns exit 2; step cap returns 0. `preflight.json` records the pre-execution configuration, not a completion receipt.
-
-Original failure files, production source, original pilot runner and gates are untouched. This test-only handoff is based on exact commit 9805383; added diagnostic files are not part of the historical failure source manifest.
-
-## Historical reporting undercount (not changed here)
-
-The failed pilot executed to step 320 before its second observation failed. Its summary `steps=160` reflects `begin`, which advances only after an accepted observation. This is a reporting undercount, not evidence that the second batch did not execute. The original failure package and runner/gates are preserved unchanged. This diagnostic records both `executed_steps` and `observation_step`, and labels previous-state steps explicitly. Fixing the historical runner's reporting is a separate change.

+"""Optional observation-window exchange ledger: host contract (mocked driver) and GPU gate.
+
+Run CPU and GPU classes in separate processes; GPU callers select the device.
+ExchangeWindowGPU uses the SRT/unshifted Jet fixture; ExchangeWindowShiftedMRTGPU covers a
+shifted MRT, all-blocked, stationary-body case without Jets (no shifted-MRT Jet claim).
+GPU tolerance (conservative engineering tolerance, not a universal proof): the window ledger
+sums h*dt*raw per link over fine substeps, while the reference sums per-base interval ledgers
+over links and then over base steps. Both are FP64 reorderings of the same FP32-exact substep
+contributions, so the scale is the sum of the ACTUAL absolute substep contributions (read from
+last_raw after every fine hop), not of per-base totals that could hide substep cancellation:
+|window - reference| <= 4 * m * eps * sum|substep terms| + 1e-300, m = links * substeps.

+  B  refined: step(1) only, no host reads        -- timing-only, no force history
+  C  refined: one step(N) call                   -- timing-only; ledger keeps final base interval only

+  E' uniform: one sim.run(2N) call                -- timing-only; at most a whole-window force
+                                                    average (different summation order), no history
+A/E read forces but discard them: no retained force history, no interval aggregation/validation,
+and no macro/probe/CSV cost, so they are not full benchmark throughput.
+observe_raw_exchange stays True for A/B/C: B/C omit host reads only.
+Status lines: CONSTRUCTED = backend/simulation built (JIT done); WARM_READY = first warm-up and
+health check passed for that case.
+Parity compares A/B/C with each other and E/E' with each other, never uniform with refined.
+A-B and B-C are measured comparative differences, not exact causal decompositions.
+Each repeat starts from the same fresh initial state with the same warm-up; construction,
+compilation, parity and health checks are outside timed regions. The actual stepping stream is
+synchronized explicitly immediately before the timer starts and after the timed loop. Wall time
+(perf_counter) is the only timing source; no CUDA-event span is reported as kernel time. An outer
+--max-wall-seconds deadline is checked between variants and inside per-step loops.

+Candidate source (window ledger) is recorded by checkout revision, dirty flag and file hashes;

+Equal simulated duration, same fresh state and warm-up per variant, one observation interval =

+  W1  per interval: start_exchange_window(); 80 x step(1); read_exchange_window()
+All variants keep observe_raw_exchange=True; the backend is built once with
+observe_window_exchange=True (a closed window adds no launch). Populations (bitwise) and
+per-interval total impulses are compared OUTSIDE timing; the impulse tolerance is a
+conservative engineering tolerance (see INTERVAL_RTOL); the tighter substep-scaled engineering
+tolerance is exercised by the capability test tests/validation/multigrid/test_exchange_window.py.

-Six clean inactive detached Jet source copies removed only after exact Git-blob
-recovery verification;all commits remain ancestors of remote dev.All source
