"""Finite regression checks for the common-horizon block-selector theorem.
The script is deliberately not a proof assistant. It exhaustively checks the
small instances that are most useful for catching indexing, spacing, and
quantifier mistakes in the paper proof:
* every special horizon has 2**d zero-track rows and one-track width one;
* the tuple of all special-horizon rows recovers all d*R data bits;
* an H-cone meets at most one separated block;
* k cones expose at most d*min(k,R) data bits;
* the claimed upper construction is simultaneously resolving; and
* the staged total target has disjoint output-length windows and a
two-snapshot/two-track plan at every exact cut.
