 DECIMATE COLLAPSE triangle counts are **not** identical across series —
 5.2.1 is more aggressive on LOD2. The gate is a ratio band, not an
 exact count. Bake pixels are stochastic; the gate is `has_data` plus
 operator `FINISHED`, not byte-identity. Construction uses no RNG.
+Export byte counts differ by 8 B on 5.2.1 (glTF serializer), not a
+gated axis.

+### Falsifiers
+
+Each violates one named budget. All were run on 4.5.11, 5.1.2 and 5.2.1
+and returned the same code on each.
+
+| Flag | Budget violated | Exit |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `--skip-decimate` | LOD1 ratio band | 9 |
+| `--stray-vert` | loose vertex count is 0 | 15 |
+| `--lift-z` | bounding box `zmin` is 0 | 16 |

+| `--short-brace` | brace-to-post BVH gap (both posts) | 17 |
+| `--gap-rails` | rail-to-post BVH gap | 18 |
+| `--long-rails` | rail span vs `2·RAIL_HALF` | 19 |
 
-`--skip-decimate` skips the LOD DECIMATE stage so LOD1 ratio is 1.0 and
-exit 9 fires. That is the named budget the falsifier violates.
+`--short-shoes` lifts only the iron shoes. After recenter a post or kick
+is the AABB `zmin`, so the AABB gate would still pass; the named-shoe
+stations fail. `--short-brace` shortens the left station; `brace_gap` is
+the max of the per-post minima so a brace that still hits the right post
+cannot sneak through. `--long-rails` adds an extra spanning board; the
+tenoned rails stay put so the gap budget still passes.
