+BBBC039 frozen paired quality mechanism review
+=============================================
+
+Singer owns this coordinator-only source and saved-presentation audit following
+merged796. Parent owns797's manuscript/scatter. Planck owns748 integration and
+the next522 receiving candidate. No scorer, pipeline, viewer, native process or
+author interaction is started here. The original frozen files and failed/UNKNOWN
+attempts are preserved; no settings, scores or reference answers go to authors.
+
+Completed determining review
+---------------------------
+
+Both final pipelines use Minimum Cross-Entropy and SHAPE markers/watershed.
+The old explicit INTENSITY smoothing option does not smooth SHAPE's distance
+landscape. Actual changed stage contracts are minimum size/suppression10 to12,
+threshold smoothing1 to1.3488, and hole filling AFTER_BOTH to AFTER_DECLUMP.
+Their individual contribution is not established by the paired score delta.
+
+The visible failure is not absent raw signal: in the saved unequal-neighbour
+diagnostic, both lobes enter foreground support, but the weaker lobe has no
+obvious separate displayed seed and the final ROI remains joined. A suppression
+change did not repair it. This is an application/diagnostic-closure limitation,
+not a demonstrated missing generic guide. No skill or processing change is
+proposed. Attribution of the pooled regression to a particular setting remains
+unproved; the strongest score-selected case lacks saved native matched captures.

+
+The primary_objects diff is documentation-only, including the explicit warning
+that intensity smoothing is ignored for SHAPE. The morphology diff is NOT
+documentation-only: it includes labeled-hole filling/kernel changes. Therefore
+this review does not claim an identical complete numerical backend or an
+isolated parameter experiment. Both installed interop/cellprofiler/
+image_normalization.py files have SHA256
+a840f237daecc63d9e45e65166fd5d0a91117a4e417134e5b1fd6971026a0e6e;
+that shared delegating normalization source is not proof of every dependency's
+equivalence. The original same-source-key/hash checks remain those of #796.
+
+Effective stage contracts, not argument-name correlation
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Read identify_primary_objects, FillHolesOption, DeclumpingMaximaGeometry,
+filter_labels_by_diameter_range and PrimaryObjectDiagnosticPlanes in the
+actual installed source. Their determining relationships are:
+
+* Threshold smoothing changes applied foreground support even for SHAPE.
+  Both pipelines use global Minimum Cross-Entropy, not a MCE/Otsu comparison.
+* SHAPE uses distance to the admitted labeled boundary plus deterministic tiny
+  tie-breaking noise. INTENSITY's automatic_smoothing/smoothing_filter_size
+  do not alter this landscape. The old explicit3/new automatic option is not
+  a SHAPE mechanism explanation.
+* With advanced settings enabled, AFTER_BOTH fills before markers and after
+  declumping; AFTER_DECLUMP does not pre-fill. Threshold-support diagnostics
+  are captured before pre-fill, initial components after it. Changing this
+  option can change the distance landscape before suppression/partition.
+* Manual suppression is governed by the existing footprint/seed owner; both
+  runs disable automatic suppression and low-resolution maxima.
+* Minimum diameter is an equivalent-area cutoff, pi*d*d/4, not a measured
+  bounding span. The changed lower cutoff is about78.54 to113.10 pixels.
+  Size filtering occurs before final hole filling. Final fill cannot recover
+  a basin already removed by size admission.
+
+Consequently support, pre-fill geometry, emitted markers, unfiltered basins
+and accepted labels must be distinguished. Their interaction is a plausible
+mechanism family, not a demonstrated assignment of the314 extra false negatives.
+No alternative codec, semantic owner, production scanner or consumer is added.
+
+Strongest regression and available paired native evidence
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The already published #796 JSON is the ONLY scoring source used here:
+figure-collection-20261004/bbbc039-fresh10coverage-postfreeze-evaluation.json,
+SHA256 e257a17d67662967ba9af16a9a94aa78756b47a889c3e093a0cf1abe640f828e.
+Its same200 comparison reports314 extra FN,11 extra FP and303 fewer predictions;
+pooled F1 is90.6224% to89.8368%. These are annotation-relative results, not a
+perfect biological census or evidence of skill causality. No score was rerun.
+
+The largest recorded per-field F1 decrease is20589_P23_7: TP12/FP0/FN0 becomes
+TP8/FP2/FN4. Neither inspected native capture inventory supplies a matched
+triple for this field. Dense20630_H06_6 also lacks the required captures; it
+must not be substituted with the differently identified20639_H06_4. No
+reference pixels were opened, and no synthetic overlay was generated to fill
+these gaps. Thus the strongest score-selected mechanism is unresolved.
+
+Available shared final field20630_A02_1 is a genuine, lesser paired regression:
+TP101/FP5/FN9 becomes TP96/FP5/FN14; F1 .935185 to .909953. Its six original
+raw/result/combined PNGs were personally opened. Upper-left crowded group
+partitions differ, with a broader joined region in NEW, while many isolated
+compact-body controls remain coherently outlined in both. This supports local
+partition deterioration, not a claim that every additional FN is that merge.
+Colour palettes are not cross-run object identities.
+
+Both triples cover the same520x696 source at center(0,259.5,347.5), but OLD zoom
+is.65 and NEW zoom.8. Within each triple isolation/camera controls match; the
+cross-run screenshots are NOT pixelwise matched presentation. OLD uses a
+recorded p0/p99 display request; NEW state gives raw window120..680/gamma1.
+Their contrast is not asserted numerically equal. NEW saved state reports101
+ROIs in the exact source domain, scale1/translation0, not proven physical
+calibration. Original OLD/runtime/mcp.stdin and NEW/runtime/mcp.stdin preserve
+the route isolation, axes and capture requests; NEW's mounted-state and triplet
+index carry its source/result/camera receipts.
+
+Failure-stage witness and positive controls
+------------------------------------------
+
+NEW's20592_A21_1 unequal-neighbour witness has a dim upper lobe touching a
+brighter lower one around native y239..258/x116. Camera is center(0,250,180),
+zoom2, z_index0/timepoint0. Personally opened raw/result/combined-corrected,
+foreground, response and seeds show connected admitted support, a broad
+lower-dominant distance response, no obvious separate seed in the weaker upper
+lobe, and one accepted ROI. Nearby compact bodies retain individual seeds and
+outlines: this is not a whole-frame failure. The earlier all-layer combined
+capture after failed isolation is retained but excluded.
+
+The original report and saved REPAIR01/REPAIR03 combined captures agree that
+lower suppression and then intensity markers with lower suppression did not
+separate this witness. REPAIR02's reported two peaks in a one-dimensional
+smoothed profile do not prove two emitted two-dimensional markers or basins.
+This audit does not infer unobserved IDs from the profile. This field's overall
+annotation F1 actually IMPROVES (.902778 to .929577), so its local merge is a
+failure-stage control, not proof of the pooled regression or old same-pair
+success. No old matched capture of this particular pair was established.
+
+As an independent OLD continuous-body control, candidate02_field0_native's
+three PNGs were opened. The native legend identifies20585_F14_7, not the A06
+true-pair repair. A ring-shaped body remains one filled outline and several
+isolated ovals remain coherent; the continuous crescent still has multiple
+partitions. OLD is therefore not presented as error-free or a universally
+better declumping choice. The old report's A06 suppression repair is distinct
+from this F14 control and cannot be transferred by filename alone.
+
+Existing guidance versus actual applied reasoning
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+The full current analysis-learning, measurement-interpretation and
+segmentation-diagnostics references were read at main154566ed. Relevant source
+SHA256, under packaging/codex/openhcs/skills/use-openhcs/references/::
+
+  analysis-learning.md 78a5179e6e5d5e12cfc281ef17ae359bcb3496508609c4db3357e3dfe0e6b7fa

+
+Measurement already distinguishes equivalent area from span, threshold from
+marker smoothing, within-body texture from real pairs, and footprint competition
+with a stronger neighbour's shoulder. Its stage-linked worked contrast states
+that profile peaks are not proof of two-dimensional maxima or dividing lines.
+Segmentation already requires the earliest-loss distinction across support,
+seeds, unfiltered basins and size admission, without a zero-error acceptance
+rule. Analysis learning already requires tested, scoped repair evidence.
+
+NEW's original stdin94..97 and report record relevant guide retrieval BEFORE
+FIRST, followed by measured raw profiles and a reasoned SHAPE hypothesis. This
+is not a demonstrated failure to retrieve the marker/body guides. It also is
+not proof that every later passage of today's guide existed in that bundle.
+The incomplete applied link is from the chosen empirical envelope to actual
+weaker-neighbour seed/partition survival and pre-filter geometry after changed
+support/fill/suppression/area choices. Failed local repairs preserve that limit;
+choosing the original useful method after them is not itself misconduct or a
+reason to reject every measurement. No known older settings are fed forward
+to authors as an answer, and no duplicate generic skill paragraph is warranted.

+Disposition and precise acceptance
+----------------------------------
+
+The original source, guide, frozen report and installed-declaration relationships
+were read; the selected17 native PNGs were opened and byte-pinned. The current
+NRA/refactor-audit instructions and applicable IDEN-6/BOUND-2 patterns informed
+identity and effective-declaration checking; there is no structural refactor,
+global AST/R0/R1 proof claim or new scanner. No tests, scorer, external data
+decoder, scientific pipeline or renderer were run. Corrected read-only path/key
+lookups do not represent scientific retries. No references were opened as
+pixels, no live author contacted, no outputs or UNKNOWN dispositions changed.
+
+The audit acceptance is met at its actual tier: a saved local partition
+regression, a stage-specific unresolved pair, coherent positive controls, and
+explicit missing cross-run/prefill/marker/basin controls. The pooled causal
+allocation remains unresolved. #798 changes this receipt only; parent owns
+#797 publication and Planck the #748/#522 native receiving integration.
