Linux offscreen capture (EGL/GLES pbuffer; llvmpipe in the sandbox) and an opt-in screen-space gate for LOD>=3 (normal distance projected at each LOD's closest display distance, 1 px at 1440p = 0.61 mrad). The gate rejects the S13 octave-drop and stride-2 controls, fault injections, and a vertical-vs-screen control. Finding: today's far meshes differ from the field by up to 92 px, and LOD swaps snap mesa rims by tens of px (p50 0 px), a silhouette effect of plain LOD switching. The octave cutoff was dropped: nothing qualified, and octaves are a small share of far time. Off-path cost: reviewer interleaved W12 within noise vs L4 (+0.6% median). Hashes = L4. Largest far lever measured: column work outside noise, 34% of far worker time (duplicate XY across tiles).
