-- [ ] **20 — The give-way channel is unmistakable (`0.2.0`).** `emitBlockquote`, `emitCodeBlock`,
-      `emitHeading`, `emitList`, `emitParagraph` and `emitRule` return
-      `Result<EmittedBlock> | undefined`, where `undefined` gives way to the directive form and an
-      error refuses the document. Give the six the `try` prefix the repo already uses for
-      `tryImage`, `tryPipeTable` and `tryPipeCell`, or a return type that cannot hold both, so a
-      newcomer meeting an unspellable shape cannot reach for `failure` and silently narrow what

+- [ ] **31 — The branch figure the floor is read against is stable (`0.2.0`).** Three Node test
+      legs over one unchanged tree reported `emit/inline-line.ts` at 95.83%, 96.23% and 96.23%,
+      and the total at 98.80%, 98.84% and 98.84% (2026-09-21). `--experimental-test-coverage`
+      counts branches off V8's own coverage, which the runner's parallel files and V8's
+      optimization make run-dependent, so the number the floor is read against is not the code's
+      alone. The floor of 98 holds today on 0.8 points of slack and §10 says it only ever moves
