SCIT contributes a cache-level diagnostic and a competence-gated carrier map rather than a universal latent-tail claim, showing that mechanism behavior is checkpoint-specific.

SCIT therefore contributes a cache-level diagnostic, a checkpoint-specific GPT-2 arithmetic mechanism, and a competence-gated carrier map rather than a universal latent-tail claim.
