+ ### Known gap: elongation crash pocket
238
+
239
+ The replay playtest (`docs/P1_REPLAY_PLAYTEST_REPORT.md`, Episode 1 steps 4-5)
240
+ discovered VMEC crashes at `elongation ~1.25-1.30` during low-fidelity evaluation,
241
+ with recovery at `elongation=1.20`. This crash pocket is inside the documented
242
+ range `(1.2, 1.8)` and was **not mapped** by either sweep, because the targeted
243
+ grid did not vary elongation aggressively at feasible parameter combinations.
244
+
245
+ This means the crash zone table above is incomplete — it only maps the
246
+ `rotational_transform` dimension. The elongation dimension has internal crash
247
+ pockets that agents exploring lower elongation values will encounter.
248
+
249
+ ### Scope note: low-fidelity only
250
+
251
+ Both sweeps used low-fidelity VMEC evaluation. The high-fidelity submit path
252
+ has its own convergence behavior documented in `docs/P1_HIGHFI_SUBMIT_BLOCKER.md`.
253
+ After that blocker was resolved (switching from `high_fidelity` to
254
+ `from_boundary_resolution` VMEC preset), the submit path converges on all
255
+ boundaries that low-fi converges on, but the cross-fidelity gap is
256
+ path-dependent — some low-fi feasible states crash at high-fi (see replay
257
+ playtest Episode 5).
