every sampled rescue payload showed a high interior gradient threshold, with gradient_c_estimate clustering tightly around about 2.50 to 2.83 from N=1536 through N=4096 and mostly zero-width or machine-epsilon brackets. The rescued mode was unmistakably shell-focused: shell localization scores sat at about 2.142 to 2.184 above the 2.15 target in nearly all full-size runs, shell mass stayed high at about 0.721 to 0.727 above the 0.63 rescue target, and the mean minimum eigenvalue was strongly negative at about -47.3 to -122.9 rather than barely softened.
