The Introduction is halved (1,360 -> 654 words, four paragraphs): the model-population setting; the data-coupled generations + the thesis sentence; the drift diagnosis placed in the literature; and the motivating question (the four operator decisions with no principled guidance + the continual-learning framing), closing on the value anticipation without disclosing results. Evicted and rehomed: the interpretation/explanation/prediction ladder (deleted — its content lives in the calibrated Results and ledger); the answers-list (deleted — results belong in Results); the correspondence walk-through (Muller's ratchet moved to the minimal-model section with its scope clause; immigration/Fisher-Muller/BDM citations anchored where the concepts are developed in Results; the Livnat precursor and predictor-delta moved to the Discussion ledger); the tiers-of-evidence and negative-results- prominence sentences (deleted). The continual-learning operator mapping moved into the Discussion block, retitled "Continual learning at the population scale", deduplicated against its five offers. All 66 references wholesale-renumbered to the new first-appearance order and the list reordered (invariant verified: in-text order = 1..66 = list).
