Keep the step 3/4 experiment as evidence

The worker's uncommitted attempt at evaluating children in parent-decided
boxes, preserved as it stood when it stopped: separate answer-only pixel
reads, per-child drawing contracts, provisional Fill asks in Span, and an
assertion that a placed drawing hold for its answer box. The suite passes
and every generated case stops on that assertion at Text. Not the
protocol; wip/one-ask is.
