Finding

C480’s first endpoints and second pivot all have residue19, so the supplied completion is integral. The fixed12026 trial has first residue22 against pivot20, leaving a common4/23 fraction. Both widths still reach1250. This explains the recorded difference without adding a pivot.

Reassessment

Compare another family where two different Keys produce the same gain: the SP rectangle.
