The decision ring kept evicted turn records reachable. Push resliced the
backing array forward without clearing the dropped pointers, so up to
ringSize records stayed addressable until the next append reallocated. The
package holds this store in memory precisely so his words do not outlive the
diagnosis, and the reslice quietly broke that. Push now nils the dropped
slots first.
internal/claim carried three drifted counts in its package doc. The cascade
has twenty-two stage-0 grammars and not ten, and seven stateful pre-emptors
and not four. The band ordering itself did not drift: bandOf still maps stage
0 to anchored, the LLM router to structural and the classifier to nearest,
which is the order buildRouter and querySources actually run in.
BandStructural now names preRouteLadder as the roster so the next count is
checkable rather than remembered.
netscan formatted a port with fmt.Sprintf once per probe. A default scan is
1016 probes, so strconv.Itoa is the same string for less work, and the local
itoa helper goes with it.

Arbitration between the claimants on the utterance stream is order, hardcoded
in three places, and a log that names the winner cannot explain a loss. The new
package holds one record per turn: who claimed, what it would have made the
turn, the score it reported, and why the rest did not get it. Being explicit
that a claimant was never asked is the point: that silence is what the
hardcoded ordering hides.
The record rides the context, the seam querysource.go already uses, so no claim
site can change a route and a context with no record costs nothing. The ring is
memory and bounded: a turn record is read minutes later or never, and his words
do not belong in a table that outlives the diagnosis.
