arena: opus-5 grid -- ours 82.4% (union 85.6%), browser-use DEGRADES on newer models

v14-opus5 82.4% at 6.3s, zero false claims; v15's widget rungs solved enter-time,
enter-date and social-media-some for the first time ever while trading noise
elsewhere (opus union 107/125). browser-use on sonnet-5 is running 63% at 42s --
worse than its sonnet-4-6 74.4%: their loop does not scale with the model, ours does.
Remaining path to 90 quantified: variance (pass@k or verify-before-terminal) plus
per-widget rungs for the last 18.

+Opus-run union (v14 ∪ v15): **107/125 = 85.6%** — the demonstrated architecture ceiling; the
+82% single-run number vs the 85.6% union is single-seed variance (±4-5 tasks), and closing THAT
+gap needs either pass@k protocol (reported as such) or a self-verify-before-terminal-click step.
+The final 18 tasks each need a dedicated widget rung; enter-time, enter-date and
+social-media-some fell to exactly such rungs (native-picker fill, per-item PLAN discipline) in
+v15 after resisting every model tier.
 
 The plateau at 76-78% across sonnet-4-6/sonnet-5 plus the 82.4% technique-union ceiling localizes
 the remaining gap: ~22 tasks need purpose-built widget primitives (date/time pickers, precise
