Drew T 283937ed8e feat(phase-29): T70 — byte-variant families sweep 1 of 10 (138 banked, +130 distinct)
Item 5, first batch. Swept 10 byte-VARIANT non-jr non-O0 families (42,235 ins / 1,552 distinct
projected): 138 BANKED / 1,346 failed — ONE family of ten (func_801627E8 137/137), plus 152 members
skipped as "unresolved immediates (T2a)".

THE FINDING: that is a ~10x worse rate than the byte-IDENTICAL families, which banked 137/137 apiece
all session. It follows from what §111 established — a byte-variant member differs in more than
relocations, so the template must adapt immediates too, and family_remap's T2a engine refuses what it
cannot resolve. The distinct-code lever is real but it is NOT the same cheap sweep, and the projected
"2,962 distinct across 36 families" should be discounted until the immediate-resolution rate is
measured. That measurement is now item 1 of the next list, ahead of sweeping the other 26.

§111 PASSED A SECOND PREDICTIVE TEST: projected +129 distinct for func_801627E8; observed +130 (the
extra from an unrelated 2-member bank).

GATES: R22 clean-fleet 140 passed, 0 failed of 140; tools-health OK; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4).

METRICS: instr 86.5% -> 86.6% (+2,618 ins); fn-count 91.08% -> 91.12% (+138); distinct-code
68,066 -> 68,196 = +130 — the first real distinct-code movement of the session.
