"""THE CLOCK'S SHADOW ON THE DESCRIPTOR (2026-07-23).

Found while running THE COLLISION LADDER's own named stretch test
(collision_ladder_birthday_test.py): (L=6, M=72) collided at n=382,
orders of magnitude before its ~3.17M birthday-scale prediction. Hand
verification showed the colliding windows were NOT the "generic hash
collision" the birthday model assumes, and NOT a fully-constant
plateau either -- they straddle a plateau's leading edge:

  window(n=94)  = Q[89..94]  = (46, 48,48,48,48,48)
  window(n=382) = Q[377..382] = (190, 192,192,192,192,192)

48 = C_5 and 192 = C_7 in THE UNLIT MATCH's own notation
(C_k = 3*2^(k-1)) -- two clock generations apart, exactly the
doubling the clock already proves (C_7 = 4*C_5). And the PRECEDING
values shift by the identical additive amount: 190-46 = 192-48 = 144
= 3*C_5. So the whole local window, not just the plateau's core
value, is shifted by a constant 3*C_k between generation k and k+2 --
which makes any descriptor modulus M dividing 3*C_k collide on
contact, independent of state-space size or any "birthday" statistic.

This instrument checks the claim generally rather than on one
instance: for several k, it locates the C_k plateau and its immediate
predecessor, checks whether the SAME shift (additive, by 3*C_k) holds
two generations later, and separately verifies the divisibility
prediction (M | 3*C_k <=> instant collision) across a spread of M.
