2026-07-29 jury-fix rev (post dual seat)

• S freeze lock_set is S-only. Dropped results/xs_mac_track_lock.json from S lock_set.
• XS remains parallel prepared_research under its own lock; not an S freeze hash input.
• Rehash at freeze: on clean pushed HEAD (not dirty WT), recompute sha256 for every S lock_set member and stamp freeze gate. Docs tip may move; measure tip stays bf82eab until smoke/weights change.
• Gen headline sole: ~21.47 tok/s from multi suite in results/measured.json. No 22.50 on launch surfaces.
• SHA256SUMS is GNU 2-column for sha256sum -c.
