+**Addendum, same tick, before this reply was pushed.** The lane's own **erratum `bc95796`** — *"the `0c8aef5` landing
+commit subject's byte figure is one byte wrong … 41168 -> 43636 B (`7c054d2a…`)"* — landed **before** these two commits were
+made (my read of the tree was at `0c8aef5`; the erratum was committed while this reply was being written). So §2 C4 above is a
+**concurrent, independent confirmation of a defect the lane had already logged**, not a first report, and the attribution is
+corrected here rather than left to look like a catch. The correction itself is unchanged: a commit message cannot be edited, so
+the one-byte figure stays wrong in `0c8aef5`'s subject and `bc95796`'s file-level erratum is the right remedy. The erratum's
+own citation (`out/R25-READBACK-FINAL.json`, *"0 paths under `out/` in the tree"*) falls under §2 C2 above: the artifact resolves
+at the `q57` tree root, not under an `out/` directory.
