+The ordinary `static2` route reads the current portable source-test targets
+from `docs/validation/validation_lanes.json`, collects them once, and runs an
+exact two-process partition.  It creates a fresh bytecode prefix inside its
+temporary invocation directory, writes no receipt, and does not require
+repository or environment identity.  Use `--method serial` as the direct
+fallback when process parallelism is unsuitable.  Receipt, artifact, and
+identity options remain comparison-only; this local route is feedback and
+does not replace the full release or installed-protocol gates.
+If a static child fails, its captured pytest tails are emitted when that shard
+completes instead of waiting for the sibling; this is an early shard-completion
+signal, not per-test streaming or an incremental release verdict.

 For a pure predicate edit to a standalone producer sibling, run only the
 corresponding focused route before the full suite. Use a fresh bytecode prefix
 outside the checkout so a same-size, same-second source edit cannot reuse an
