The cliff_slide arms are conformant in ACE, our port, and the bytes
(compare constant at 0x794610 verified 0.0), the round-1 slidn:edge
ratio (538:594) refutes a retail retry storm, and the user's
side-by-side speed observation fits alternation. Round-2 cdb script
now counts find_transitional_position; H-A (identical, retire AD-70)
vs H-B (within-tick yield) resolves on one ratio. The temporary
Scratch347 diagnostic test rides along until #347 closes.

The synthetic fixtures reproduce our stuck fingerprint while faithfully
executing the documented control flow; ACE's independent port shows
EdgeSlide reachable only via the OK arm's step-down failure. Together
they force the sharper question: retail's insert returns OK per tick
where ours returns Adjusted. The round-2 cdb script (stack samples on
edge_slide/cliff_slide/step_down + a step_down counter round 1 never
had) carries falsifiable predictions written down BEFORE the capture.
