-   * Recall-facing projection of C3 facts. Go `LoadCentroid` returns
-   * `(nil,false,nil)` for every unusable center, including a zero-sample center
-   * (`internal/memory/centroid_store.go:179-185`); it does NOT expose the
-   * operator-only stale bit from `CentroidStatusOf:425-433`.
+   * Projection of C3 facts for a caller that only asks "may I centre?".
+   *
+   * Go `LoadCentroid` returns `(nil,false,nil)` for every unusable center,
+   * including a zero-sample one (`internal/memory/centroid_store.go:179-185`), and
+   * does NOT expose the operator-only stale bit from `CentroidStatusOf:425-433`.
+   * This mirrors that: `available` answers the yes/no question, `stale` is forced
+   * to null, and `reason` still travels for anyone who needs to log why.
+   *
+   * ★ NOT the recall path's entry, despite the name. The scoring path uses
+   * `loadCentroid` (a single indexed SELECT) because this method calls
+   * `centroidStatus`, whose first line is `countVectored` — a COUNT that C3-k
+   * forbids on the per-turn pre-step path. Wiring this into recall would put a
+   * full-space count on every turn.
+   *
+   * So it is a diagnostic seam, in the same category as
+   * `StableMem#saveSpaceCentroid`: no production caller, kept because it pins the
+   * Go semantics (`assertC3RecallUnusable` in test/phase-b-h.test.js runs the same
+   * predicate against every C3 mutant). Recorded here because "defined, never
+   * called" looked identical to the three real dangling-wire bugs found in this
+   * branch — and the only difference worth writing down is this paragraph.
