Colby McHenry eed16447c3 fix(explore): shrink a later cluster into the remainder instead of dropping it (CG-36)
A file's ranked clusters were all-or-nothing past the first one: the top-ranked
cluster was taken (shrunk to fit when it had to be) and every cluster below it
was rendered whole, then either fit the remainder or was dropped entirely. On a
file whose top-ranked cluster is TRIVIAL that discards the answer — django's
`db/models/sql/query.py` kept a 22-line glue cluster and dropped the 624-line
`Query` body, spending 1,923 of a 7,947 reservation; okhttp's
`RealInterceptorChain.kt` did the same behind its import header.

The response stayed full, which is why this was invisible: the unspent
reservation carried forward exactly as designed and a file scoring a fifth as
much took the bytes.

Two sites, the same rule — hold the remainder while it is still worth a section
(CG-26's between-FILES lesson, applied between CLUSTERS):

- selection now shrinks a later cluster into what is left of the file's budget,
  by the same whole-member rule the first cluster already used;
- the ceiling trim re-renders the weakest cluster into the room that remains
  before dropping it. On excalidraw's `typeChecks.ts` the section-cost estimate
  missed by 13 chars and a 1,512-char cluster — the file's highest-SCORING one —
  was thrown away to pay for it.

Cluster RANKING is untouched: measured, both real cases lost on `maxImportance`,
not on the density tiebreak the issue suspected, and density-first is what keeps
Alamofire's `Session.swift` from burying its methods under the property list.

Suite (6 repos, clean-rebuilt indexes): all 8 starvation flags cleared,
+1,012 source chars net. django's `sql/query.py` 1,923 -> 10,082 of 7,947,
okhttp's `RealInterceptorChain.kt` 1,474 -> 6,038 of 6,058, gin's
`routergroup.go` 3,273 -> 5,632. okhttp trades its rank-6 file (score 21) for
+7,196 chars in the two files that answer the question.

Ships two fixtures pulling in opposite directions (`starved-cluster-ts` and
`dense-header-ts`), a `spendShareAtLeast` gate in probe-allocation, and
probe-file-spend.mjs — a standing per-file reservation-vs-delivered sweep.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 7cbde95ce2 fix(explore): pay every admitted file on every render path (CG-26)
The invariant this closes: every admitted file receives at least its
reservation before any file draws on carry-forward slack. CG-30 bounded an
oversize cluster member and CG-31 gave the cluster path a displacement guard;
three holes were left, and each one starved a file that had been admitted,
reserved and — in the worst case — rendered.

1. The whole-file arms had no displacement guard. BUY's fit test read
   `renderCeiling - totalChars` (everyone's room) while its source-space
   sibling refused the same trade, and GRACE was not fit-tested at all.
   okhttp's CallServerInterceptor.kt shipped 8,499 chars on a 5,964 funded
   ceiling and the rank-6 file below it delivered nothing. Both arms now test
   the render they actually produce against `fundedHeadroom`, and a whole
   render that does not fit falls through to clustering instead of skipping
   the file.

2. Every section was charged a flat 200 chars while a real header runs
   300-500. The loop believed it had room it did not have — okhttp allocated
   26,601 against a 24,400 ceiling — so the final truncation threw a
   fully-rendered section away. Sections are charged their real cost now, the
   owed-below arithmetic uses a per-file overhead estimated from the file's own
   symbols, and a marginal overrun trims the weakest cluster (or windows the
   last one into the room that is left) rather than skipping the file over a
   rounding difference.

3. `owedPayableBelow` held all-or-nothing. When the last admitted file's FULL
   reservation no longer fit, nothing was held for it: on the precise-query
   fixture the rank-5 file took 4,134 chars against a 2,948 reservation while
   rank 6 — admitted, reserved 2,539 — was left 4 chars and skipped. It now
   holds the remainder while that remainder is still worth a section
   (MIN_CHARS).

And the epilogue is budgeted instead of discarded. The flat 600-char margin was
neither the epilogue's size (1,064 gin, 1,788 django, 2,231 excalidraw) nor a
bound on it, so four of six suite repos shipped with no pointer list and no
reminders at all. The loop now reserves the epilogue's FLOOR — the one line
that says an uncovered area exists, plus a pointer for every file whose bytes
were deliberately withheld (CG-12) — and the rest is fitted to the room that
actually remains, in priority order, entry by entry. Sized from the real
strings; no constant was swept against the suite.

Deterministic, same clean-rebuilt indexes, baseline = CG-31 tip:

  repo         base source   new source   files      ceiling
  django            20,791       20,878   6 -> 6     was discarding its epilogue
  tokio             21,521       21,607   5 -> 5     was discarding its epilogue
  okhttp            19,034       18,870   5 -> 6     +1 file delivered
  excalidraw        20,204       19,652   8 -> 8     keeps its pointer list
  gin               10,776       10,776   4 -> 4     byte-identical
  alamofire         11,662       11,662   2 -> 2     byte-identical

No repo truncates any more and none loses a file. okhttp and excalidraw trade
164 and 552 source chars on their LAST-ranked file for the pointer list naming
what the response could not cover — bytes the CG-31 tip only had because it
over-filled a ceiling it mis-measured and then discarded the epilogue whole.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 bd86ad2061 test(explore): #1500 regression fixtures for budget allocation (CG-6)
Two permanent fixtures pinning the failure mode from issue #1500 — explore
spending its byte envelope on files that merely name-collide with the query.
BOTH FAIL TODAY, by design: they document the bug and become the pass gate
for CG-10 (scoring) + CG-12 (proportional allocation).

__tests__/fixtures/payroll-go/ — a synthetic Go service mirroring the
reporter's shape: generated FKIT CRUD beside a hand-written payroll use-case,
entered from an HTTP route. Half the generated tree carries ORDINARY names
detectable only by their `// Code generated ... DO NOT EDIT.` header (the
#1500 case, and end-to-end cover for CG-5); `payrollpb/*.pb.go` covers the
path-detectable channel. BuildPayslip, Upsert and Store each exist twice,
generated and hand-written. cycle.go sits above the whole-file window so it
clips; the generated files sit below it so they ship whole.

Asking "how does payroll cycle create and calculate payslips?" — naming none
of the answering symbols — the generated CRUD delivers 57.4% of the envelope
against the hand-written layer's 25.6%, all of the latter domain types.
cycle.go is allocated the single largest slice (30.6%) and delivers ZERO: the
hard ceiling drops its whole section. runPayrollCycleAll, the hand-written
BuildPayslip and the real Upsert never reach the agent.

The second fixture is this repo, "how does explore allocate its output budget
across files", where scripts/agent-eval/*.mjs take 71.8% against tools.ts's
18.5% despite scoring 4.6x lower. It reads the live index, so its assertions
are relative rather than fixed percentages.

- scripts/agent-eval/probe-allocation.mjs — per-file budget-share probe,
  driving the CG-4 diagnostic through a JSONL sidecar so it measures the
  shipping allocator. Fixture entries are hermetic (copy + re-index per run,
  verified byte-identical across runs); exits 1 while any assertion fails.
- scripts/agent-eval/allocation-fixtures.json — both fixtures declared, with
  the 2026-08-03 baselines.
- __tests__/explore-allocation-1500.test.ts — fixture-shape assertions green
  today; the allocation assertions held as `it.fails` so the suite stays green
  while the bug is open and goes RED the moment it is fixed.

Also documented and deliberately left unfixed: runPayrollCycleAll's
`s.store.Upsert` edge resolves to the GENERATED Store.Upsert, not the
hand-written one — same-name method resolution across two packages picks the
wrong receiver. It is upstream of the allocation bug, so it belongs with
CG-10's scoring work.
