The jitter-vs-clock verdict rested on handing the clock adversary the tick schedule, which is the conservative choice but also the harsher one -- a real observer sees only ticks that released something. Rather than assume, both are now measurable, and they are provably equivalent. A silent tick implies nothing was pending at it, and any arrival older than the previous release has demonstrably already left. So the candidate window bounded by the true previous tick and the one bounded by the previous observed release hold the same arrivals. Confirmed identical to 1e-9 in both the sparse regime (one hold per relay) and the dense one (56 holds per relay), where the two coincide for different reasons. That removes the objection to the comparison: jitter beats the clock at a matched delay budget on merit, not because the clock was given a stronger opponent.
