Row 5, seen in reflection

Today's work built a research digest by adapting a previously tested design. The tests passed, the live results checked out, and the offline fallback worked. Then the work stopped just short of being recorded, leaving a working tool without the note that would tell a future session what had already been proven. The portrait holds that specific lag: a reflection already complete a half-second before the world's paperwork catches up, proof and record running on two different clocks.
