The re-framing `docs/bottom-panel-framing.md` rev 4 §2 requires before
Stage 2 (the GPU panel band) is implemented. Re-scouted against
canonical `main` @ `5aa9044`, protocol v20.
It does not restate the parent's decisions; it records what the
re-scout found. Every source anchor Stage 2 inherits had moved, but
none of the parent's mechanical model was falsified. Two facts held
and are load-bearing: protocol is still v20, so Q#BP9 resolves to
**v21** with no reservation needed, and both byte pins
(`InstanceMessage::InitialTargetResult`,
`FrontendEvent::TerminalPointer`) are still their enums' final
variants.
Four findings:
- **Q#BP2S1, new and open.** Stage 1 landed a daemon-side geometry
epoch allocator (`declare_frame_geometry`), but Q#BP15a specifies a
frontend-owned epoch echoed by every `Present`. The landed allocator
also dedups on value and uses `saturating_add`, which is neither
wrapping nor the fail-closed the framing asks for. Three resolutions
are stated with a recommendation.
- **The §1.3 census is essentially unrouted.** Stage 1 built the
`primary_document_window` seam but it has one production caller;
~80 direct `.active` reads remain. This is Stage 2's bulk, not its
tidy-up, and the stage plan sequences it first.
- **The statusline active read is three sites, not one.**
- **Four scout obligations are still open** and are named rather than
papered over, including the GPU-side pixel formula inputs.
Also carries the staged plan, draft acceptance criteria, the coherence
impact per `COHERENCE.md` §20 (§14 is the section it serves), and four
questions for the user.
