Smoke on the real-output substrate measured feasible sampling_u = 0.0156 (TP2)
and 0.0742 (TP4, per-GPU 0.618 = 2.24x TP2). search.high=0.25 made the binary
search waste its two top probes (u=0.125/0.0625, always infeasible, admitting the
most long-output requests) on every trial. 0.15 keeps ~2x headroom over the TP4
boundary (0.0742) and trims ~15-20% of per-trial cost with identical feasibility
results; if a runtime-tuned config ever saturates 0.15 the harness search-high
saturation stop fires (informative, not silent).
