The handoff had grown a chronicle of what each commit renamed. What is
durable about it -- the three names, and the one argument a container uses
to say them -- is design, so it goes to `docs/LAYOUT.md` as its own section
and the handoff keeps a pointer plus where the branch stands.
`docs/PLAN.md`'s "frame/extent experiment" entry described a prototype in
retired words; it becomes a pointer, and the one finding it held that was
not recorded elsewhere -- why the extent-relative child-frame trial was
removed -- joins the failed hypotheses in `docs/LAYOUT.md`.
