+**Settled by events.** The reconciliation this decision asked for never happened as a decision;
+it happened as a build. Between the calibration and this audit the milestone D3 pointed at was
+delivered and closed (2026-08-30), and the application went through eleven further releases to
+0.12.2 carrying culling, develop, masks, faces, sync, Flatpak and a Windows channel. The scope as
+calibrated stands as written, and the pace is the pace. What was reconciled is the *date*: v1 has
+none. A requirement in this document is in scope until §7 says otherwise, and "post-v1" in §7 is
+the only mechanism by which something leaves the count — used on 2026-09-19 for the plugin API,
+and for nothing else.
+
+The two tensions below are kept as the record of what the decision weighed. Both resolved
+themselves the same way: the expensive selection was built anyway, and the differentiator was
+built alongside the develop chain rather than instead of it.
