Reasoning

Tests whether expansion releases the Israeli ceiling more sharply than envelope-hold does. Confidence higher than P080 (0.50) because the expansion event would constitute clearer cycle cover and stronger political-weather signal for max-volume Israeli operations. R011 Provocation Architecture pattern continues; expansion gives the campaign maximal cycle space.
