+Proportional absorption, passes 4 and 5:
+- **Pass 4 (on the two-path version).** The split between `ApplySequential` and `ApplyWithSharedItems`
+  was already ruled out by the operator. Soul found three more defects:
+  - The cycle tie-break fell back to lane index at axis-aligned bearings, and a probe broke mirror symmetry.
+  - The pooled resolve skipped the item's `.1f` threshold.
+  - The model sweep still passed with proportionality deleted.
+- **The rebuild.** Every item goes through a pool: clip once, and one pooled walk.
+  `Entity.ItemAbsorb(EquippedItem, Span<float>)` is the one absorption owner. The cycle rule is
+  Self's default (above). `FireControl.cs` shrank by 40 lines against the two-path version.
+- **Pass 5 (on the rebuild).** There was no second authority left, mirror symmetry held at angled
+  bearings across 2,800 draws, damage was conserved, and the cycle rule never fired early.
+  Soul found gaps in the tests (a lane revisiting an item, event cardinality), dead code, and
+  stale comments. All are fixed, and each mutant dies to a committed test.
+
+Recorded, not fixed:
+- Soul's angled-bearing mirror probes (P1, P2) are not committed. They need an exact lateral draw,
+  which only a private seam offers. The operator rule forbids reflection, and no test seam is added
+  for them.
+  - Angled correctness is covered by the model sweep and `DirectHitAtAnAngledBearingMatchesAnIndependentModel`.
+  - The cycle rule's symmetry is covered at axis-aligned bearings, and holds at any bearing by construction (it has no ordering key).
+  - If 12.4 grows a seam that takes a built shot, these probes become committable there.
+- `Entity.Absorb` survives only for `Splash`. 12.4's `Detonate` must go through `ItemAbsorb`, not bring `Absorb` back as a second path.
