android: the handoff — the pending rounds, the pipeline, and what is unverified

Everything written this session that has not been through the device: rounds 43
to 48 (each patch adversarially verified, 43's transient-notice expectation
fixed), a partial round 49, the pipeline scripts, the Android Auto design and
the icon comparison mock. Also the two harness changes that were never A/B'd —
adaptive waits, which may only shorten a declared wait and never lengthen it,
and a ship that runs the mock walk and the deploy at the same time. The A/B and
its 255-step baseline are in handoff/tools; main stays at what the phone has
actually walked.

+           test); it must not have counted the world; the boot chain must
+           still be going out in one round rather than waiting on itself,
+           which is the one clause that is not a clock at all — it was 10
+           before round 32 and is 23 after, so a chain put back in a queue
+           lands under the floor; the shell must have sealed on a frame
+           rather than on the 1200 ms fallback; the library must still land
+           inside the launch rather than behind something slow; and round
+           12's eight-second art prewarm must still be nowhere near boot.
+           The call ceiling is deliberately loose — the boot chain issues
+           about 25 commands and the first screen asks for its covers on
+           top, and the point there is to catch a round that pulls a
