+checkbox-transfer chains, cross-section bookkeeping). Prediction: >=2/8 flip, controls 12/12
+(gate: collection/aggregate goal words — controls' goals lack them, so the block never renders).
+The REAL payoff target is chore/WebArena aggregation (measured later via delta reruns); this
+pilot verifies mechanism safety + short-horizon lift.

+(near-miss-prone MiniWoB losses) + 4 dialog-first/widget CompWoB losses where a wrong click is
+terminal. Prediction: >=2/8 flip, controls 12/12 (no_match only fires when chosen; wrong-click
+replacement is strictly safer than the click it replaces).

+Order: v37 then v36, sequential, immediately after the Claude chore column finishes (auto-chained).
