p1neappleXpressandClaude Opus 4.8 3241a4e341 phpbox: hand over early and consistently; never reach for a longer run than the host allows
The emulated hosts exposed the real cause of the node dying: the 'hold idle to prove a
longer run' recorded a lifetime (107s) longer than a host's hidden wall-clock kill (90s),
so later generations set their handover past that limit and were killed before they could
start a successor - the chain broke with no generation left to carry the lesson.

- a generation now hands over at ~2/3 of the known limit, never later than 45s, even on a
  host that looks generous: a free host's real limit is unknown until a generation dies by
  it, and that death must happen after a successor exists. Deaths only lower it.
- removed the idle hold and the lifetime-growth; a learned wall/CPU limit still lowers the
  handover, and a wall limit is believed only after two deaths at a similar age
- while a successor shares the room, the predecessor caps its reading (OVERLAP_RATE): the
  document server copies our download to the successor too, and at full speed the client's
  OPENs to the successor waited behind it
