This is a development surrogate only. It does not prove subjective mix quality or listener preference.

## Boundary

This matrix runs objective claim-candidate receipts and guardrails. It ranks candidates for review; it does not prove subjective mix quality.

Metrics and receipts can support review ordering, guardrail preservation, and deterministic change claims. They do not prove that a candidate sounds better.
