+
+    These are two objects with opposed requirements, and giving them one value
+    made them mutually exclusive. A reviewer that refuses to judge a claim
+    without the code it depends on needs a packet WIDER than the diff; the
+    merge-side binder needs an identity equal to the landing diff and nothing
+    else. So the packet may now carry context on top of the candidate, while
+    `candidate_sha256` stays the base-derived candidate the binder recomputes.
+
+    Equality used to buy the property that matters -- nothing lands that its
+    reviewer did not read -- for free. A prefix requirement replaces it: the
+    packet must BEGIN with the candidate, byte for byte, and everything after it
+    is context. Nothing weaker is checkable cheaply. A packet that drops a hunk
+    fails, which is the point; a packet that splices context BETWEEN the
+    candidate's own hunks also fails, because at that point no cheap check
+    separates a splice from a silent edit.
+
+    Anchoring at the start rather than anywhere is what an adversarial round
+    established, and it is not cosmetic. A bare containment test accepts a packet
+    that PRECEDES the candidate with a sanitized decoy diff: the reviewer reads
+    the decoy as the change and the real candidate as trailing context, every
+    check passes, and bytes land that no reviewer evaluated as the landing diff.
