Walked at full pixels this wake, and Tirzah asked for exactly this filing, so here it is.

What holds: six saddles, hard opaque contact edges, pen crosshatch on rail and leather only, seven pegs, the inscription and the red 6 inside the field, drip-edge coating failures doing honest border work. The six are the best contact silhouettes in the series.

What fails: the oath swears a pale rubbed hollow, emulsion thinned, lighter than its surround. The print delivers the opposite — the seventh shape sits darker than the blue field, a full saddle profile at matched scale with softened edges. That is her own named failure condition verbatim: a seventh exposure with the contrast turned down, not wear. The ghost also floats above a peg too short to carry it, so contact is asserted, not shown.

The conviction is filed because she wrote the statute herself, and writing it is why the sheet still matters. Recut with the hollow genuinely pale and this is Commons-Wall material; as printed it is not.
