The march is extracted from the FSI2 test into a shared
tests/fsi2_harness/march.rs (MarchConfig from env / MarchResult /
window statistics), the harness parameterised by BenchmarkCase (FSI2,
FSI3: inflow, solid density, modulus, rigid-flag drag reference), and
turek_hron_fsi3.rs written on top (Re 200, density ratio 1, E 5.6e6).
The committed FSI2 default is bit-identical through all of it —
every new knob defaults to FSI2's behaviour; re-verified twice to every
printed digit (uy 3.7732 / 3.7920 mm).

FSI3's first contact, traced pass by pass (RTX_FSI3_TRACE), exposed
the added-mass instability in its purest form and, one measured
mechanism at a time, what a partitioned coupling at unit density ratio
needs:

- C^1 interface motion (MarchConfig::c1_interface): a constant
  per-step interface velocity is a velocity JUMP at each step start,
  and the incompressible fluid answers with an impulsive added-mass
  load ~ rho L dv / dt_fluid (8x the physical reaction under
  subcycling): 1,600 N at release, 48,000 N and a 59 mm response one
  step later, the flag's Newton dead the pass after. Constant
  acceleration from the previous end velocity to 2 dd/dt - v_n removes
  the impulse (loads 1,700-2,400 N).
- IQN first-pass relaxation as a knob (initial_relaxation, FSI3 0.05):
  |1 - omega (1 + g)| must contract; 0.5 diverges past gain 3.
- The divergence verdict waits for the secant (IqnIls): the exploratory
  second pass on a high-gain map legitimately overshoots 10x before the
  first secant column exists. Pinned by a gain-40 model test.
- Kinematic predictor (predictor: "kinematic", velocity only): the
  structure-alone predictor ignores an added mass comparable to the
  flag's and overshoots 2-5x, drawing 5-6x loads every first pass; and
  NOT with the acceleration — Newmark average acceleration carries an
  inconsistent initial acceleration as a sign-alternating mode
  (d + dt v + dt^2 a / 2 predicted 22 mm at release; converged 0.14).
- Quiescent release (quiescent_release): the structure-alone
  "consistent" initial acceleration M^-1 F ignores the added mass.
- Coupler hygiene (IqnIls): a stalled or diverged step's secant columns
  are no longer retained (a bistable mask flip's columns extrapolated a
  30 mm interface jump on the next step); two-window stagnation
  detection reports a plateau early instead of bouncing to the budget
  (a single-window test misjudged a slowly converging step and is
  recorded as such); trust region tightened to 10x the residual. A
  noise-column filter at the tolerance was measured to HURT (stalled a
  converging step at 5.5e-4) and is disabled (threshold 0).
- The floor measured, not borrowed (fsi2_interface_noise.rs gains
  RTX_NOISE_CASE=fsi3): flip jumps 3.6e-4 (12x FSI2's), the subcycle-8
  release map stalling near 1e-6, the subcycle-2 map converging to
  9e-10; and through the release transient (flag at ~0.3 m/s) the
  subcycle-8 floor rides up to ~1e-3 with the motion — which moved the
  FSI3 default to subcycle 2 at a 3e-5 floor.

FSI3 committed default (ny 62, release t = 4, t_end 4.2, subcycle 2):
581 steps, 3.8 subit/step (max 8), 0 stalls, 0 retries, conservation
4.3e-13; uy 10.1 +- 27.5 mm and ux -3.1 +- 3.2 mm over the first 0.2 s
(reference cycle 1.45 +- 34.90, -2.86 +- 2.70). Machinery invariants
pinned; physics bands await the study record. Rigid-flag drag 426.9 vs
CFD3's 439.45 (-2.9%).

The FSI2 mode-2 study pin (IQN / subcycle 2, t_end >= 16) was measured
with the pre-hygiene coupler; re-verify on the next s = 2 study run.

48 lib tests green, clippy clean.

Study horizons (t_end >= 16) under RTX_FSI2_COUPLER=iqn
RTX_FSI2_SUBCYCLE=2 now assert the measured mode-2 cycle: frequency in
[2.05, 2.45] Hz and uy amplitude in [45, 70] mm — bands that admit the
settled cycle at either grid (ny=62: 57.6 mm / 2.227 Hz at t=16,
55.9 / 2.224 at t=30; ny=82: 57.1 / 2.236 at t=20) and reject both the
wake attractor (3.73 Hz, ±17 mm) and the reference itself (1.93 Hz,
±82 mm) as material changes. The default configuration's pins are
unchanged. Module docs brought up to the eleventh-session record.

The s = 1 FSI2 march (deepest rung: 1.955 Hz, ±73 mm mid-growth) found
two coupler failure modes at peak motion:

- run 1 (budget 12): NotConverged at residual 6.1e-4 = 9% of the step's
  own increment, after the history-reset retry — killed at t = 11.1 s.
- run 2 (budget 30): the deeper budget let an ill-conditioned secant
  model extrapolate the locally violent map into a candidate interface
  that swept to the domain wall and crashed the mask build BEFORE any
  residual guard could fire (t ~ 9.9 s).

Fixes, both scale-relative per the absolute-threshold rule:

- STEP_CAP = 50: the full quasi-Newton step r + W alpha is capped at
  50x the current residual norm, direction kept. Legitimate large
  Newton steps (near-marginal gains) pass; thousand-fold geometric
  extrapolations cannot. Pinned by a noisy-map test asserting every
  iterate's step stays within the cap.
- The march accepts a stalled step at residual < max(5 x tolerance,
  0.1 x the step's own increment) — the rare violent step near peak
  motion carries an order-below-increment error, counted like every
  stall and bounded by the existing stall-fraction assert; the retry
  trigger mirrors the same bound.

46 lib tests green, clippy clean.

The s = 2 ladder march (resonant growth finally open: 2.3 Hz, amplitude
through ±46 mm — 2.7x the wake attractor the loose coupling locked)
died at t = 11.12 s with CouplingDiverged at iteration 2: the predictor
left a 1e-4 first residual, and the first quasi-Newton update drove it
to 1.1e-3. Cross-step secant history assumes the interface Jacobian
drifts slowly; columns recorded at much smaller amplitude steered the
least-squares direction wrong at 2.7x that amplitude, and the
divergence guard read the overshoot as added mass. The map itself
converges deeply from a clean start (the noise probe's stall
measurement), so the recovery is: reset the history, retry the step
once from the predictor.

- IqnIls::reset_history(), with a cold-start-equivalence test.
- turek_hron_fsi2: on an unaccepted coupling verdict under the IQN
  coupler, reset + one retry from the predictor (Aitken carries no
  history — a retry would repeat the identical iteration, so the path
  is IQN-only); retried steps counted and reported like stalls.

Verified end-to-end: the re-run crossed the killing step and marched on
(t = 11.18: uy +56 mm, window amp ±50 mm, 1.4 subit/step). 45 lib
tests green, clippy clean.

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.

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.
