ResultPrevalence, lead time and incremental lifetime signal of entombed numbered discs in the existing training corpus

Corpus analysis of entombed numbered discs (value n with column height > n and horizontal run > n) over 4,863,627 non-explored positions. Prevalence: an entombed disc of value >= 3 is on the board in 19.1% of depth-4 behaviour states overall, rising from 7.6% more than 40 moves before death to 69.8% within 5 moves of it. At death: 579 of 768 complete depth-4 games (75.4%) end with one on the board (criterion 1 holds). Lead time from first persistent appearance to death: median 11 moves, quartiles 5.5-15, 57% at least 10 moves, 8% at least 20 (criterion 2 holds, narrowly). Incremental signal: held-out R^2 for log1p(moves to death) is 0.6952 with the 18 frozen leaf features + occupancy + rise clock and 0.6955 with the entombed features added (+0.0003); the held-out partial correlation of the entombed count is -0.023 (threshold -0.05). Criterion 3 fails. Occupancy-matched, an entombed >= 3 disc shortens mean remaining life by about two moves (e.g. 35.0 vs 37.4 at 24-27 occupied cells; 24.6 vs 26.3 at 28-31). Reading: the disc is a reliable marker of the policy's last two rises, but the leaf's value-blind height and cover terms already carry almost all of its lifetime information; as a static foresight term it is not what the search is missing. Gate: FAIL (not-supported-as-tested).
