  - [x] Iteration 1 Gate evaluated (Challenger 1 requested 0.35 factor fix)
  - [x] Iteration 2 Explorers formulated exact drop-in fix (0.35 factor yields 25.93% lifetime ratio, 35.0% 1-98 ratio, 100% challenge pass)
  - [x] `worker_m1_progression_2` implemented factor 0.35 fix, test suite alignment, and seeder check (DONE)
