Status and evidence
| Field | Value |

| Engine ID | TIGHT-BOX-FADE |
| Family | Fade |
| Status | Disabled — did not survive testing |
Zero fires — extreme dead-tape only.
What we learned
Zero fires, for the same reason as NR4-BREAKOUT and SQUEEZE-FADE: the compression threshold requires conditions gold does not reach during liquid hours.
Three strategies failing identically for one shared reason is more informative than three separate failures. It says the compression family as a whole is mismatched to this instrument and this session window.
