GB-2 first increment (ADR-0178). compose_sequential() adds the structure the blunt
MS-3 shapes couldn't reach: a same-unit quantity LIST sums (additive cue), and any
stated comparative scales the sum (sum-then-scale, 0024-family). Op-per-step from
text structure (list => add; comparative => scale); operands are text quantities
(grounded) + comparative steps (cue-grounded) on the flat left-fold — no derived-
intermediate model needed (running value is the intermediate).
Deliberately narrow: same-unit lists only. A stated comparative is ALWAYS applied
(no bare-vs-scaled self-disagreement). A product base over the same list is added
WITHOUT a comparative tail purely as a disagreement-safety candidate -> a same-unit
list that also carries a mult cue (ambiguous) REFUSES. Product-of-all/cross-unit
products stay MS-3's job (avoids the product x comparative blowups a blunt all-bases
composer produced: 0024 -> 4.3M).
Clean-case capability proven: 8 tests (list-sum, sum-then-double/triple, mixed-units
refuse, ambiguous-disagreement refuse, determinism). Honest practice result: 3/2/45
— NO new flips (extraction wall: real cases like 0024 extract non-uniform units
'36 on' so they aren't seen as same-unit lists), 2 sealed eliminations (0037/0039:
list-sum was the wrong structure -> learning signal). Coverage gated by extraction
richness + cue precision, as predicted.
Sealed; serving untouched. Full derivation surface 53/53; ruff clean; smoke 67.
Continuation: richer relational ops (per/each->multiply, more/older->add), branch/
DAG (0033), and the extraction richness (uniform-unit extraction) that unblocks this
on real cases.
