+Review of 14739ad7..b4a2fc09 (read-only): SHIP. M1 accepted as a one-time cost: the
+`.tail-hang` rule and the fit script's new text are in every teaser page, tail or not, so a
+teaser without a tail misses the render cache once and re-renders with the same frames (its
+data, hits, seconds and validation are unchanged). LOWs left: below beat ~0.47 a break on
+the last line pops before the line's impact, so `tailWait` counts from the earlier pop; the
+beat's own wait at 0.4 (0.257 s) is below `tailWait`'s 0.3 floor; the too-short and over-20 s
+refusals do not name `tailWait`; `teaserTailWait` and `dippedMotion` repeat one rule. The
+README's tail-wait wording now says the 0.2 s slam applies without a `break`, and its ferret
+numbers are the dipped ones. The ferret cut holds the finished line 2 s more with
+`seconds: 9.8` (card), a 10.9 s teaser segment, 360.967 s in all.
