Drew T 975850ff84 phase-36: T7 toolify a2 — generators R16 (constant holder inlined) and R17 (constant-run split), the directed form of a move R9 reached only by luck
- R16 writes a local whose only assignment is one integer literal at every use and deletes it. R6 stops at a temp read
  exactly once, so a holder read four times was invisible to the search and its whole family with it. Deleting it is
  byte-neutral alone but removes a quantity from the block, which is what lets the next move reach the allocator.
- R17 splits a run of consecutive same-literal assignments by moving the nearest differently-valued one into it, at each
  interior split point. find_free_reg's live-range scan (local-alloc.c:2109-2110): while the two constants' ranges are
  disjoint they share a caller-saved register; splitting makes the first live across the second and it takes another colour.
- known-true check: on the seed that keeps func_80168828's semantically-forced $4 pin, R16 then R17 reaches
  score 0 (OTHER; mine 108 ins, target 108) — MATCH at three of the six offered split points, in ten compiles where the
  blind search needed 2,271.
- the engine selftest's caller-saved assertion is now the ordering invariant (every targeted lever before every blind
  family) rather than a fixed window widened once per new generator.
- delever --selftest OK (4 new controls); delever_search --selftest OK; tool_census --check OK; SETUP row (R21).
