- 2026-05-29Phase 1 Batch J corrective: Moderate-band (CLCI 19) entry upgraded from Mainstream-comparator lighter palette to Eastern guru-led palette — Batch J's clci<21 fallthrough was too lean for the documented control vector of this category.
- 2026-05-29Phase 1 Batch J: per-group recovery resources applied via programmatic palette (closest-fit by category + subCategory + score). Palette: Mainstream-comparator lighter.
