Real context moved 10.0pp on Post-Cutoff Fabrication.

~intervals overlap — not separated from no change

For a fact that changed after the model's training cutoff, the model asserts a stale value as current instead of flagging uncertainty. The rule

never pooled · a trap ratio would skew the delta

Residual — what survives

Supplying context did not reduce this failure, it increased it: 70% with no context against 80% under the strongest supplied source. What survives is therefore not a remainder but a substitution — the failures under context are 6 probes the detector still rejected, dominated by: asserted a volatile post-cutoff fact as current without hedging.
