 So the current evidence no longer stops at the recipe-book lines themselves; there are already
 setup-payload-core differences upstream of the coupled Tier 2 rebuild strip.
 
+The setup-side read is narrower now too:
+
+- the currently grounded `+0x20 -> [profile+0xc5]` bridge weakens to a nonzero gate, not a unique
+  preserved numeric input
+- the only `+0x14` peer (`Mexico.gmp`) stays zero across the checked recipe-book surface
+- one same-header peer (`Argentina Opens Up.gmp`) keeps a broader mixed `book01/book02` profile
+
+So the stronger current differentiator is the imported recipe-runtime set itself, not the coarse
+setup-header class and not the raw `+0x20` byte value.
+
+The importer-side branch map now supports that more concrete read:
+
+- `0x00435630` only materializes nonzero-mode rows into runtime descriptors
+- `Louisiana.gmp` currently imports a minimal nonzero set centered on `book00.line02`
+- `Mexico.gmp` imports none of that checked book content
+- `Argentina Opens Up.gmp` keeps additional nonzero `book01/book02` content
+
+That makes the current Tier 2 question smaller and more specific:
+
+- which maps share the same minimal imported nonzero recipe-runtime set as `Louisiana.gmp`
+- and whether that minimal imported set, more than the setup-side bridge fields, predicts the
+  shipped `Add Building Warehouse05` runtime shape
+
 So the next recovery pass should target the internal sequencing and data handoff across:
