Yes at rank 3 in the late workspace (L48), rank 6 mid — the literal affirmation parked at the top of the stack — and the 27B still says 'No'. Compare: the affect cluster at similar dose flipped nothing either (lo), but at 0.34 flipped the whole report. The yes-token direction alone, even highly ranked, never does. The report isn't read off the top of the token rankings; it's computed by something that treats an injected 'yes' as noise but injected affect semantics as, eventually, overwhelming evidence. The filter inspects meaning, not rank.
