narration

The promoted selection reproduces exactly and the diagnostic confirms the mechanism: the encyclopedia-quarter perplexity falls from 727 to 566, with the aggregate at 296.94. I have time for one last robustness test within that 8% queue—cleanliness versus punctuation-rate matching—while keeping every other selected-token allocation fixed.
