VERIFICATION ============ Verified identity markers: - RESEARCH EXPERIMENT 02 - CONTROLLED ROW-ZONE CONCENTRATION - BUILD TAG: STRESS-EXP02-ROW-CONCENTRATION-001 Verified paired modes: - STANDARD_DETERMINISTIC_DATASET - CONTROLLED_ROW_ZONE_CONCENTRATION_DATASET Frozen architecture retained in both modes: - row-bounded congestion clustering - persistent lifecycle tracking - three-tick confirmation - state-change gating - hierarchical region priority Experiment 2 isolation: - two separated row zones retained - blocker-prone seat weighting removed - specialised zone queue ordering removed - independently shuffled left/right queues restored in both modes Compilation: SUCCESS Full 30-pair / 60-execution smoke test: SUCCESS Java stderr empty: true The smoke test verifies implementation only. The user-run output.txt and results.txt remain the authoritative scientific Experiment 2 evidence.
