-The ±10% gap in the covariates scenario comes from the missing R2-based slab prior (expected.r2=0.8, prior.df=50).
-This is tracked as Phase 2 work.
+Covariate CI bounds are enforced twice: the legacy parity fixture remains tighter than
+Phase 2 requirements, and a separate Phase 2 acceptance test keeps the threshold at `±3%`.
