A scatter from a covered reference child covers the entire chosen child of the frozen parent, independently of the emitting leaf's depth.
The actual leaf action has the same ancestor partition effect as a node call, whether or not it changes the incumbent.
A saved ancestor's chosen vertex is retained at every actual emitter.
The emitting leaf remains within every saved ancestor's cells.
The actual first-reference verdict supplies its checked scatter, expressed entirely in the emitting state's fields.
A positive first-ancestor return covers that ancestor's entire chosen child from its saved first-reference coverage.
Code one returns to the first ancestor without requesting a short prune.
The actual first-reference emission satisfies its entire maximum rule, including returns across arbitrarily many intermediate sweeps.
