Read-only subagent audit passed before inspecting candidate performance.

- Ten intended models: incumbent seed4942 plus grouped, random-sparse and hybrid seeds 9090/9191/9292; plain artifact excluded.
- 10,010 configurations: 1,000 unique shared tuning vectors and one frozen baseline per model.
- Identical tuning vectors in identical order across models; each confirmation boolean pair occurs 250 times per model.
- Incumbent frozen parameters match winner; alternatives match normalized recommendations.
- Fixed seed 20260921, unchanged gates, no promotion, explicit stop; aborted preliminary attempt excluded.
