Latent brittleness on a separate parser layer (drafter delta application) — not currently blocking any live run, but same bug-class as 0231/0238 (parser intolerance to model-emitted variation). Park until a live run actually surfaces an anchor-not-found in production. Defer rather than archive because the failure mode is real and falsifiable from real-run telemetry.
