Replaces the A6.P1 stub with the analysis pass over 5 paired captures
(scen1-5). Scen6-9 (sewer-specific) cancelled because the Holtburg Sewer
doesn't exist on this ACE server and any substitute dungeon hits issue
#95 (portal-graph visibility blowup) on entry.
Four findings ready for A6.P3 sequencing:
Finding 1 — Dispatcher entry frequency mismatch (4x to 281x fewer in
acdream). Likely secondary effect; may close as side-effect
of Finding 2 fix.
Finding 2 — ContactPlane resynthesis blowup. 250x to INFINITE more CP
writes in acdream. Strongest single signal; scen3 shows
retail wrote CP zero times during a flat 2nd-floor walk
while acdream wrote 86,748 field updates. Primary M1.5
root cause. HIGH severity.
Finding 3 — Indoor cell-resolver sling-out (scen4). Resolver flings
+Acdream across landblock boundary; CheckBuildingTransit
fires 5,495 times during the sling while indoor BSP is
barely queried. Same family as the M1.5 cell-tracking
ping-pong hypothesis. HIGH severity.
Finding 4 — Portal-graph visibility blowup (scen5 incidental). Filed
as issue #95; not strictly A6 scope but documented here so
A6.P3 sequencing knows about it.
Tables 1+2 (per-site push-back delta + path-frequency diff) deferred to
A6.P1.5: the v4 cdb probe captures function entry only, not exit values.
Adding paired exit BPs is ~1 hour of cdb scripting work but not needed
unless A6.P3 fixes fail to close the symptoms.
Table 3 (CP lifecycle) fully populated — geometric mean CP-write ratio
across 4 finite scenarios is ~1,470x; median ~2,200x.
Table 4 (sub-step state mutations) partially populated with proxy
metrics (per-tag firing rates).
M1.5 symptom coverage matrix: every in-scope physics symptom maps to
at least one finding. Acceptance per spec §4.7 met.
A6.P3 sequencing recommendation: Finding 2 first (highest-confidence
single-cause; may close Finding 1 as side effect), re-run captures, then
Finding 3. Issue #95 handled separately outside A6.

Creates the 9 per-scenario capture directories (gitkeep stubs) and
the findings doc stub at docs/research/2026-05-21-a6-cdb-capture-findings.md.
A6.P1 fills the capture log slots (Task 15, user-driven); A6.P2
fills the analysis tables and findings section.
