+- **2026-07-16 — Task 6 mega-pools SCOUTED (not yet banked; a symbol-definition gap, R35).** The two
+  tiny-IMM mega-pools `0x80131eec` (2887, 2620 stub) + `0x80130d0c` (2679, 2496 stub) = ~5,116 unbanked.
+  `family_sweep --hseq --only <both> --band tiny`: **4966 staged, BANKED 1/4966 (0.0%)**. `diff_regions`
+  classifies them **TEMPLATES / O2:MATCH(0)** — the remapped C is byte-correct at -O2 AND the jump-table
+  symbol IS remapped (exemplar `D_8018708C[idx]()` → member `D_801815EC[idx]()`). The contradiction
+  (masked-MATCH vs 0% whole-binary) resolves to: **the remapped data symbol (`D_801815EC`) is splat-local
+  in the member's asm and NOT a DEFINED linker symbol** (absent from every `config/symbols*`), so the C
+  draft's named reference can't resolve at link → whole-binary DIFF; masked_diff hides it (masks %hi/%lo).
+  → a **fixable symbol-definition / symbol_map gap gating ~4,966 members** (the biggest cheap lever left),
+  but a focused tooling sub-project (define/export the per-overlay jump-table data symbols so remapped C
+  links). DEFERRED to a dedicated pass; tree reverted clean (0 banks kept). This is the same "reproduce the
+  build step" class as §53-carve / -O0-flag — here the missing step is symbol DEFINITION.
