-- **#30, #46 and #48 merged under the comprehension floor, and Locality is the next work.** Maintainer's call,

-  is 7.0. The chunks after #30 lift Locality to 7 before any other work. Serves goal 8's
-  reshapeable internals, which a reader has to understand before reshaping. Valid until a scoring
-  run reads 7.0 or above. #46, maintainer's call 2026-09-28, merged as a step of that work at 6, 6, 7
-  and 7, Locality 5, 5, 6 and 6, up from 6, 6, 7 and 6 and Locality 5, 5, 6 and 5 the same day.
-  #48, maintainer's call 2026-09-28, merged at 6, 6, 6 and 6, Locality 5 from every seat, on the
-  condition that the held-message flow is the next chunk.
