 No old test or worker-stack allowance changed. Implementer ran no Cargo, test executable or rustfmt; parent owns formatting, compiler, prologue/headroom and runtime gates. Independent production review found no initial semantic blocker; final review binds parent-formatted source and authored tests before commit. Preserve all prior recorded failures and compare actual full-suite dispositions rather than claiming they are unchanged from source inspection.

+Parent gates at initial source6b0ef99 passed all six focused tests and completed
+the full library with259 passed /16 inherited failures. Strict Clippy rejected
+the ordinary quoted hook's is_some/expect pattern. The successor uses direct
+if-let matching with the same token span and decoder; no tests, limits or
+accounting operations changed. Final source gates remain separately required.
