A field audit of real generations convicted a family of passes that
asserted redundancy without proving it: section rhythm zeroed because
a machine gap 'stood in' for padding it could not supply, intentional
dark bands stripped as repaints of a ground the root never painted,
headings bound to a border token by hex distance, near-white borders
surviving dark designs, starved rigid rows crushed to 2px, overlays
buried under opaque siblings, watermark numerals flagged as unreadable
collisions, and the whole CJK nav chain dead because label
normalization kept ASCII only. Each rule now states a provable
contract — gap must absorb the inset, the ground must match, slots
reject impossible families, rows respect rigid content, ink decides
collisions, containment decides board ownership — and scrolling-page
sections keep their authored rhythm outright.
