The jittery-meter numbers depend on the draw (review: 4, 4, 5 of 11 at the
quarter edge; up to 4 quiet quarters at 20 s; first warning up to 61 min
later). Above about 40 s per cycle, a short bound can still use up the
budget when the wire changes hands every few cycles. Text only.

TEST-23 F-1: on a 5 s meter a steady overload warned once in 70 min. The
loop was at its bound 4-5 cycles a quarter, all inside SAFETY-119's settle
of 12 cycles (60 s) and under its budget of 8 per 900 s. The simulation
fed the meter a cycle behind the battery reading, so the guard and the
charge chased each other and gave ~20 bound cycles a quarter.
The settle is now 4 cycles and 22 s (HANDBACK_CYCLES, SHORT_SPAN_S), and
the rolling budget one number, 11 per 900 s, at every cycle length. The
cycle length is no longer tracked. Commands unchanged; the re-pinned
digests of test_safety84/87 differ from bee7431 in OUTPUT_CLAMP rows only.
test_safety119 runs the rig's shape (meter in the same cycle) at 1-15 s
and checks a stop keeps the budget (review F2, X3).
