Candidate E Slot 8 Probe

Status: draft Scope: isolate slot 8 alternatives while keeping the rest of Candidate E fixed Source: Candidate E Back-Half Tuning

This note focuses only on slot 8. The question is whether the current olive is too dark or too compressed, and whether a lighter or greener variant relieves the step-8 bump without making the back half feel noisy.
