driver.py (homemaker-py-b39): tournament selection, operators.mutate (storey
ops down-weighted) + area-matched crossover, every child's geometry
delegated to the warm-started inner loop (Lamarckian write-back; children
use a single local CMA phase - the exploratory ladder phase exists for cold
projections children never face). Budget stated and accounted in oracle
evaluations; near-duplicate fitness guard against population collapse
(neutral mutations are common, per 8cs).
free_with_keys/ratio_map/warm_x0 promoted from the 8cs experiment into
innerloop.py as the Lamarckian inheritance API; alignment with
solver.free_branches asserted across the corpus.
tests/test_driver.py fakes the inner loop: budget accounting, monotone
improvement history, warm-start + sigma plumbing, valid .dom output.
31 tests pass. experiments/run_search.py is the end-to-end acceptance run.

experiments/warm_vs_cold.py (homemaker-py-8cs): top-storey divide/undivide
mutations on corpus designs, path-keyed inheritance of the parent's
optimised ratios (surviving cuts keep values, new cuts 0.5), per-evaluation
convergence traces; reports oracle evals to 95% of best final, warm vs
cold. Machinery validated oracle-free (cut survival counts) and one
mutated child scored through the oracle.
