## Deflected NATIVELY (better than the drainage ever managed)
- NEUTRON INTERFEROMETRY / COW (the n62 squeeze): the quantum-phase
  redshift is linear and universal BY THE HAMILTONIAN (n72: 2.32%
  tracking, exact universality) — no regime condition, no E0
  contamination, no squeeze. The blade that forced the drainage into
  a corner cannot touch this medium. DEFLECTED.
- THE KNEE / no-floor (the Caves blade, n75): measured zero excess
  noise in the attractive branch. DEFLECTED.
- BINARY-PULSAR FRICTION and SOLAR P-MODES: gamma_eff > 0 in both
  branches (dissipation is even in Delta); the fast-audit suppression
  chain applies unchanged. DEFLECTED (same chain as n63).

## Landing on ONE wound: the tensor junction (five blades, one organ)
- MERCURY (beta): the medium is linear — superposition is exact, so
  beta_toy = 0 at this modeling level (worse than drainage's 0.513!).
  BUT unlike the drainage, absence is NOT a theorem here: the
  nonlinearity is unbuilt, not structurally forbidden (no parity
  obstruction in this medium). The defense is year 1's formal chain
  (TT -> unimodular -> Bianchi -> full Einstein, beta = 1 as a
  theorem). UNDEFENDED, not dead.
- LARES (frame dragging): no g_0i sector in the scalar toy; the
  medium's velocity responses are dissipative (odd in v through
  kappa), not gravitomagnetic. UNDEFENDED, same organ.
- PULSAR QUADRUPOLE FORM / GW: the scalar sector does not radiate at
  all (no wave equation for eps in the clock model) — nothing wrong
  radiates, nothing right radiates either. UNDEFENDED, same organ.
- CASSINI (gamma): the toy has no optical sector (eps carries no
  gradient term), so gamma is UNDEFINED until the junction supplies
  wave propagation. UNDEFENDED, same organ.
- LORENTZ / alpha_1, alpha_2: preferred frame (the ring) plus a
  preferred time direction (the pump). Emergent low-energy LI must
  come with the junction's wave sector. UNDEFENDED, same organ.

## One honest casualty of the reinterpretation
- NS MAXIMUM MASS (prediction 10): its engine was drainage budget
  exhaustion — which n69 reassigned to the ELECTROSTATIC sector. The
  compact-object cap is therefore ORPHANED as a gravitational
  prediction; if it survives at all it is charge-sector physics
  (exhaustion of the EM vacuum), not the NS cliff. The predictions
  page must be amended; flagged here first.

## The audit's shape
Nine blades: three deflected outright (two of them natively, an
improvement over every predecessor), five concentrated on the single
unbuilt organ (the tensor junction — where beta = 1, g_0i, the
quadrupole, gamma and emergent LI must all arrive TOGETHER via year
1's chain), one prediction orphaned and flagged. The theory is not
dead and not safe: it is PRECISELY LOCALIZED. Everything now passes
through one construction, and that construction has a formal skeleton
(unimodular + Bianchi) waiting to be given hands. No theory this
program has held was ever this concentrated: one organ, five
experiments watching it, and a graveyard proving the watchers shoot.
