The wall

Trace-detective lab (Module 6 opener): a 200-step feature build running inside a hardened Module 5 harness crosses the 140,000-token compaction trigger at step 94 and breaks a step-40 verified signature constraint at step 121 (181,500 of 200,000 tokens). Compute p^N compounding horizon decay (818 of 1000 runs at N=20 vs 134 of 1000 at N=200) and pinpoint the point of no return and missing compaction mechanism.
