The round-5 per-tick zoom comparison inside the reset guard was level-
triggered: at the canonical frame every continued zoom-out tick drifted
_view_zoom a hair below fit, read as 'not there', and re-fired
enter_orbital — tile set torn down/recreated per tick, in-flight
responses orphaned (black entry), server flooded (889 of 897 responses
in one drive phase). The drift concern now lives in _zoom_at as a ZOOM
FLOOR (once at the canonical frame, zoom-out clamps at fit); the guard
keys only on fields that never drift (_held_center/_held_granularity_v2/
_tile_mode) — genuinely edge-triggered. Three shared helpers keep the
guard and the floor on one definition of 'canonical frame'.
Anti-storm regression drives 100 real _zoom_at ticks past the first
reset and asserts tile-set child node identities never change; the
black-entry repro interleaves Lendel's six wire-accurate tile responses
with continued ticks and asserts all six held. Both revert-verified with
the exact live symptoms. Round-5 reset tests pass unchanged. Live-
verified twice: exactly 6 requests at entry and at reset, no storm.
