In this commit, we land exp-021's instrument: two flag-gated changes to lnd's own payment stack, byte-identical to stock with both flags off (proven against a pre-change binary across four tiers). soft_unknown is the live half. An unreadable failure now penalizes exactly one pair (the lowest-probability hop at the attempt amount) instead of every pair of the route in both directions, which is the mechanism exp-019 showed spiraling lnd into give-ups from a 10% unreadable-error rate. The smoke shows the intended signature: with the flag on, lnd's trajectory is invariant to the unreadable rate. adaptive_split is the measured negative, kept as instrumentation. Three designs were built and each reduced to the same thing: descend geometrically from the learned bound, which lnd's blind halving already does at the fastest ratio of any variant, for free. The supremum search paid a wire attempt per linear step; the backoff variant re-derived halving with a slower constant; the expected-value ladder degenerates to its top rung under apriori's flat belief and cannot escape the retry loop bimodal pins itself into. The conclusion the writeup carries: the reactive split-retry control flow is not where the evolved routers' edge lives, so the distillation question moves to plan-time mechanisms.
