 If we keep pruning, the highest-value cuts look like this:
 
 1. Put relax on trial.
-   The soft relaxation stage may be a useful bridge, or it may be an expensive second solver that mostly repeats refine.
+   The soft relaxation stage still seems useful, but the relax-mode bonus was dead weight. The next question is which remaining relax terms are actually earning their keep.
 2. Collapse duplicate structure voices.
    Adjacency, motif, and line are important, but they should not need three near-parallel dialects unless they are truly doing different work.
 3. Decide whether snap still needs both portraits everywhere.
