Saved linear-system comparison of the failed corrections

Both completed targets pass their endpoint side-gradient checks and agree closely with each other, but fail the fresh right-side correction. This audit compares bounded affine solves at their saved center Jacobians. It makes zero native predictions and zero archival fits.

The full numerical report preserves every correction, predicted cost, solver status and singular value. Fixing time here removes only the timing column for an affine diagnostic; it does not qualify a free-time fit or justify accepting the original endpoint. Small singular directions and parameter bounds remain explicit.

A center Jacobian is not the complete record of both side Jacobians used by the failed test. Comparing it with a saved side correction can expose a discrepancy, but cannot establish whether that discrepancy comes from the side tangent, the bounded linear solve or nonlinear propagation. The next native diagnostic should preserve those side arrays and corrected-point arrays directly, under its own finite allowance, before choosing a replacement numerical method.

No stopping tolerance, model, physical bound or published disposition changes. Findings remain 51 globe / 0 flat / 2 unresolved.
