C.22.1:9 - Worked moment

• Two agentic research setups both eventually reach an acceptable threshold on a new catalyst-search task family.
• One of them reaches threshold after a small probe budget, shows a declared transfer gain on one adjacent task family, and records that the winning path entered a previously unused solution corridor.
• The other reaches threshold only after much larger budget and without any reusable transfer.
• The adaptation signature makes that difference publishable without pretending that both runs express the same specialization story.
