+// budget, so the NEAREST continuation survives either side's exhaustion.
+//
+// THE DEFECT THIS CLOSES (found by an adversarial review of the E3 commit).
+// `alignAround` bounds the work it may spend on (queryGap, contextGap) pairs.
+// The counter was shared between the RIGHT sweep and the LEFT sweep, so once the
+// right side spent the whole budget the left loop's guard was false on entry:
+// zero iterations, and the NEAREST left continuation was lost — the exact
+// opposite of the law the commit states ("an exhausted budget drops the FAR
+// continuations and never the near ones").  It was a regression against the
+// pre-change tree, which bounded each sweep independently.
+//
+// WHAT IS PINNED, structurally and with no magic number: a pair whose two
+// divergent flanks both exceed the work budget still aligns on BOTH sides of the
+// anchor — the left match is present as its own query span, and so is the right.
+// Before the fix the left one is missing, whatever the budget.

+//
+//  M4 — the boundary.  The pipeline treats a remainder under W as bridging
+//  punctuation, and the reasoner inherits that floor.  The subtlety the review
+//  raised is that a one-word tail CARRIES ITS SEPARATOR: `" why"` is exactly W
