=== DISTRIBUTED UPDATE-SUBSPACE TEST ===All covariance matrices are constructed from weights only.Reading/writing family covariances are trace-normalized before averaging.Controls preserve per-layer covariance spectra, coordinate energies,and within-layer read/write alignment; they disrupt cross-layer signs.Midpoint means (A+B)/2, NOT the unavailable starting checkpoint.Metrics: [joint top1 share, joint top8 share, participation rank, mean forward off-diagonal covariance cosine, maximum forward cosine]These are structural diagnostics, not behavioral tests.
