Ship the border filler trained against MI-GAN's own discriminator: texture in the deep bands, level with stock on LPIPS

-texture, not structure, is what a night on a laptop GPU could not finish.
-The levers, in order: a discriminator that learns (a pretrained one —

+**Second model, the same day.** The morning's fill was soft in the deep
+ground bands. The afternoon's run trained the generator against MI-GAN's
+own pretrained discriminator (non-saturating loss, lazy R1, feature
+matching), with fresh noise inputs while training and flip/translation
+augmentation of the discriminator's input — both needed, or the generator
+settles into a periodic texture the discriminator cannot see. The shipped
+weights (step 4 750 of `runs/border-v6`) are level with the stock model on
+LPIPS (edge 0.125 / corner 0.187 against 0.121 / 0.183) while keeping the
+PSNR gain (edge 18.0 / corner 15.7 against 16.9 / 14.6). On the fixture
+the ground bands now carry texture at the right tone; at 1:1 a faint
+regular hatch is visible in the deepest part.
+
+**What is still wrong.** The hatch, and any deep textured void the
+generator must invent. The better answer for those is not generative:
+seed the void with the picture's own texture in hexagonal cells, let the
+discriminator rank the candidates, and let the generator heal only the
+gaps between cells — built and measured in `darkroom-infill`
+(`infill/hexfill.py`), the most convincing scree corner produced so far,
+and the next thing to port into `dr_pano::fill` (it needs the
+discriminator as a second model, ~80 MB fp16). FR-MRG-4's *experimental*
+stays.
