Omar SobhandClaude Fable 5	140310b223	rtx-fsi: the noise floor interrogated — smoothing refuted, IQN-ILS lands, tight coupling reopened ... The tenth session ended on "lower the interface noise floor". This builds the levers and measures them, and the measurements overturn the diagnosis: - smooth_tractions: arclength moving average over the wetted surface, area-weighted, smooth normal-similarity factor so corners do not mix and the smoothed load stays continuous in the geometry. Nine unit tests. MEASURED NEGATIVE RESULT: the flip-scan floor is unchanged to 0.2% at radii 1-3h — the flip's load jump is coherent through the fluid field (mask rebuild shifts the pressure around the flipped cell), and a surface average preserves coherent shifts. Default off; the probe pins the attribution so nobody re-reaches for this lever. - IqnIls: interface quasi-Newton with inverse least squares (Degroote 2009) — filtered MGS least squares over secant columns (filter RELATIVE to column norm), cross-step history reuse, per-step set_tolerance. Model-map tests: exact on anisotropic linear maps within dim+2 passes (scalar Aitken provably cannot be), scale invariant, history reuse shortens the next step, stalls at the noise scale instead of diverging (fixture lesson: per-pass noise, not state-dependent noise — the latter has a genuine fixed point). - tests/fsi2_harness/: the FSI2 machinery extracted shared; verified pure code motion (committed release response reproduced to every printed digit). March gains RTX_FSI2_SMOOTH / RTX_FSI2_COUPLER=iqn / RTX_FSI2_REUSE knobs; pinned bands guard the default configuration. - tests/fsi2_interface_noise.rs: the probe. Flip-scan floor at subcycle 8: 3.05e-5 (pinned); smoothing attribution pinned; the cross-subcycle scan recorded but unpinned (the fixed geometry increment's wall-velocity trend, increment/dt_c, swamps the flip signal at small dt_c — a dt_c^2 scaling hypothesis died in that operationalization). THE OPERATIONAL FLOOR — the real release step subiterated at tolerance 1e-9 with residuals traced — converges DEEP at both subcycles: s8 aitken 3.4e-9 / iqn 1.6e-9, s2 both ~6.4e-10 in 5-6 passes. The flip jumps are events at specific geometries, not a floor under every step: the tenth session's subcycle-2 blowup was tolerance mis-budgeting (2e-4 held fixed while dt_c shrank), not an impassable floor. Probe bug found and fixed on the way: stale shared geometry leaked a 4.5e-5 phantom first residual into the first stall run; every measurement now resets the geometry on entry. All 924+17 tests green: lib 44 (was 27), piston 2, curved edge 1, FSI1, the committed FSI2 march (release response identical), the probe.

Omar SobhandClaude Fable 5	4e90177aa9	rtx-fsi: C2 — FSI2's coupled march, and the wrong attractor measured ... The unsteady coupling on the piston pattern with the real solvers: per TIME STEP, Aitken subiterations of (8x-subcycled embedded TVD/multigrid fluid <-> flag nonlinear-Newmark step), the fluid re-runnable through snapshot/restore + a field clone, the flag re-runnable because the stepper commits nothing, the moving polygon carrying the flag's actual interface velocity. Conservation 8.3e-12 over 9,263 coupled steps; the rigid phase reproduces this solver's own CFD2 values at both grids before anything couples. What the 30 s studies measured (ny = 62 AND 82, three protocols): the coupled system self-excites into a wake-forced cycle at 3.729/3.728 Hz with uy(A) +-17.3 mm at both grids - grid-converged, protocol- independent, kinematically genuine (ux locks 2x uy) - and NOT the benchmark's mode-2 resonant cycle (1.93 Hz / 81.6 mm; the flag's vacuum mode 2 is 1.9245 Hz). Diagnosis measured stepwise: the staggered phase lag starves the resonant channel (a subcycle=2 probe redirected growth to 1.9 Hz as predicted), and tighter dt_c is blocked because wall- velocity noise = displacement-tolerance / dt_c while the needed tolerance sits below the discrete interface noise floor (~1.3e-4 at full inflow, mask flips through beta dt^2/m). The route to the benchmark cycle is lowering that floor, not iterating against it. Robustness, both measured: rare wild tractions (19 samples in 2.4M) clamped at 20x the sample median - clamped, not dropped: a hard drop makes the pass discontinuous and the subiteration bounces at step scale; and Aitken "divergence" verdicts within 5x tolerance accepted as noise bounces over well-predicted steps (counted, bounded). The committed default (t_end = 7, ~9.5 min) pins the deterministic release response (uy 3.773 +- 3.792 mm, band +-35%); study horizons >= 25 s pin the measured 3.73 Hz attractor so any material change is loud. Full study record in the module docs and omni-cortex solver_status.md.
