tegwick bec7fdc465 T03: research control plane
H-001..H-005 with explicit falsification conditions, E-001..E-003, the
Concept-Implementation Fitness Map, findings log and ID convention. Plain
files, no tooling.

- fitness map corrects Improvement Loop section 13 levels downward: nothing
  exceeds C1 without implementation
- H-005 (Energy) dormant by decision - events captured, no scoring written
- H-001 gets a genuine control arm so the semantic-action thesis is not
  trivially true
- E-003 added: deliberately attacks the safety boundary rather than only
  sampling benign cases

# E-001 — Mechanical recovery and defect discrimination
## Design
Run the same verification asset against every labelled lab mutation (T05),
in two arms:
- **arm A** — semantic action realized by the agentic driver;
- **arm B** — a recorded selector-based sequence captured against the baseline,
built with the most robust selector strategy reasonably available.
Arm B is the control for H-001 and must actually be run.
## Outcomes recorded per run
surface diff (S1) · postcondition met and surface used (S2) · oracle verdicts
(S3) · classification emitted · claim/invariant diff (expected empty) ·
tokens · wall time · retries.
## Decision rules
- **False Adaptation Rate > 0** → stop. H-004 falsified; redesign, do not tune.
- Arm B recovery ≥ arm A recovery → H-001 falsified.
- Recovery achieved with a non-empty claim diff → H-002 falsified *and* a
framework defect, since D-02 forbids the write path.
## Status
`PLANNED`. Blocked on T05 (lab) and T07 (agentic driver).
