A recorded reference-to-current leaf carrier gives the corresponding vertex carrier in the generated pointwise stabilizer.
A direct first-reference or canonical-reference return consumes the child when the reference's orbit obligation is already covered. This uses the emitted carrier even when the orbit partition did not grow.
The located generator receipt can be consumed without dropping its carrier. The reference premises are conditional: a canonical reference outside the guide's full orbit imposes no generation obligation.
Generated descending carriers justify a short-prune filter without requiring its fixed-point bitset to characterize the active base.
The guiding child's short-prune request preserves generated orbit coverage once its last ledger pair has generated carriers.
