Turn the remaining minimal-boundary items into executable behavior: locked autonomous claim scaling for 3/5/7 agents, multi-candidate fusion, and challenge-revise-revote consensus.
Constraint: The user asked to implement code directly, complete testing and acceptance, and explain the test standards rather than only updating the comparison document.
Rejected: Leaving SW-AQS-16, candidate fusion, and questioning consensus as documentation-only future work | each now has deterministic code paths and S09 acceptance evidence.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Future claims about full production readiness must still distinguish this local deterministic S09 acceptance from real runtime/Kubernetes scaling and Manager/Agnet platform integration.

Not-tested: Real Kubernetes/worker runtime 3/5/7 scaling, Redis Stream consumer-driven replanning, and Manager/Agnet approval integration remain outside this local minimal acceptance.
