Step 11 of plan 2026-09-02: measured the corrected algorithm on the
SDXL-realistic mock (VAE std 7.7 = unit model space, unit-std structured
eps, space-converting adapters). Results: refinement HF ratio 0.748
(slerp) / 0.955 (additive); inversion rel norm 0.87 (= sigma_K, analytically
consistent); dominance 0.85; seam 0.83. The historical "noise dominance"
(6.3x) reproduces only with mismatched magnitudes - confirming the
2026-08-12 bug was the magnitude/space mismatch. slerp HF guard tightened
from provisional >=0.5 to >=0.6 (measured 0.748). Results recorded in
the plan.
