The reporter's machine_state history for the same two cycles flips to
idle on the exact second progress reads 'Drying' (12:08:51 and 14:01:26),
which settles what the previous commits had to infer: rep_fn returns
'Idle' whenever state isn't active, so it cannot have produced that
value, and the only remaining path was the ungated sticky_live_fn the
bypass returned in its place. Replaying the sequence against the pre-fix
path reproduces the reported Cooling, Finish, Drying, Idle exactly; the
fix holds Finish through it.
Comments only -- swap the inference for the observation that confirms it.
