# ICWDS C6-E2 Packet Alignment Continuation

Formal path: `exact 30B -> aligned packet conditioner + residual LDM candidate -> frozen C6-E1 quality gate -> Model`.

- Source C6-E1 SHA-256: `71c8d07511a9f1e3bd427892b59a8846ceee5f6453f31eb10a50146deca8d0aa`
- Front end, Spectrum AE, and Gate calibrator are frozen.
- Candidate conditioner, Slope10D condition branches, residual LDM and EMA are continued.
- The frozen gate anchor conditioner is stored separately to preserve C6-E1 calibration semantics.
- Maximum continuation epochs: 3.
- Timed stage budget: 8.0 hours.
- Final package remains exact 30 bytes with protocol v2.
