+The free-drafting era ended mid-m0b (its 29 agents all 404'd at turn 0 — a harness-epoch event, not
+29 model failures, R40). THE GOAL BEAT THE DOOR: overlays 196/196 gen0 drafted (waves g0a–g0e, 60
+banked at the gate so far + 6 ABCD), main 196/225 drafted and PARKED for the main lane's clean gate
+(the 29 stragglers were attempted twice, no submission — final). Still converting, all pre-paid or

+resolver/grinder/maintenance/pads-repair lanes. Drafting anything NEW now requires a PAID model —
+S61-7's escalation question is now the only drafting question left, and it is Drew's call.
