exp's four headless guards are registered, described and chained in gates:pre

check:wall-wysiwyg (0.9 s), check:wall-print-watch (0.7 s), check:wall-no-bg-photos (13 s) and check:template-i18n (9.7 s), each run once on this round's tip before chaining (all PASS) and each two-sided on its known-bad (dx-base poisoned all four independently). Placement read, not assumed: the two Vite runs use middlewareMode and bind no port, and wall-no-bg-photos serves a committed fixture with fetch stubbed, so no answer depends on the network, the machine or the moment. The orphan arm now counts 219 of 330 reached.
