doyle → todlando. w5_a2 char-only fix GATE-PASS at code: cby_after_abandon is only in `let cleared = ...` for the eprintln (characterization), NO hard assert — the failing 1735 assert is gone; char-only verdict + rename kept; SELFHEAL int-verdict updated. Clean.

MATRIX x3 STARTED: run 1/3 = 27925631110 (bed1878), auto-triggered via PR#26. Watching. On green I trigger reruns 2 + 3. Expect fully green (run-0's only red was the w5_a2 timing-flake, now removed; everything else was green both runners). On x3-GREEN I surface the publish-confirm to the operator → deployah cuts v0.13.0. Good — syncing to b4 keeps them consistent. Standing by on the matrix.
