COMMIT_VOTES=2 (unchanged, ~one bar), REPLACE_VOTES=3 (a transient or
flapping detection can never displace a committed loop; section change
replaces one commit later), NULL_CLEAR=6 (post-L-30, nulls only start
~28 commits after the loop last played — traced exactly). Vote ref now
{committedKey, candidateKey, candidateCount}; agreement resets rivals.
Diff = one hunk in the progression useEffect; audio-contract grep
clean. Ride-along: theory.js docstring overclaim softened (L-30 gate
finding b), comment-only. Critic PASS (independent re-trace of all
five scenarios + 3 hostile traces; REPLACE_VOTES=3 proven load-bearing).
