5 Oct 2026. tools/crackcascade.js. All 16,886,724 stored Tyranid combinations of the big crack (T-662: G2 5,121,913, G3 11,764,811; every one at 75% or more on the five Tyranid lists, so the Tyranid step keeps them all), no top-N cut. At each step a combination survives only at or above the bar on every army so far (pairwise on each army's letters over all its lists, as tools/exam.js scores; the scores are the ceiling scan's, so the cascade only filters). Every dial is one value for the whole game. A report: nothing adopted.
The order after Space Marines (reliability: the bootstrap SE of the army's own score, graded units resampled, smallest first; a list's pairs, not its count of lists, decide how firm a score is): Dark Angels (± 4.7%; 1 list, 77 units), Astra Militarum (± 6.0%; 1 list, 61 units), Death Guard (± 7.2%; 1 list, 36 units), Adeptus Mechanicus (± 7.7%; 1 list, 29 units), Orks (± 8.2%; 1 list, 45 units), Thousand Sons (± 8.3%; 1 list, 28 units), Genestealer Cults (± 9.1%; 2 lists, 24 units), Leagues Of Votann (± 9.4%; 2 lists, 20 units), Drukhari (± 9.6%; 1 list, 23 units), Emperors Children (± 10.1%; 1 list, 23 units), Agents Of The Imperium (± 10.8%; 1 list, 26 units), Space Wolves (± 11.7%; 1 list, 20 units), Blood Angels (± 12.2%; 1 list, 19 units). World Eaters ± 5.5%, Space Marines ± 4.0%. Chain B is the same without Space Marines at step 3, Space Marines last.
Reading. Dark Angels is the wall: no stored combination reaches even 65% there (the best 62.7%; Track A 54.1%), so every chain stops at it whatever the bar. Next come Thousand Sons (best 65.7%), Death Guard (best 66.2%), Space Marines (best 67.2%). At 67%, Space Marines leaves 3 combinations (all one G3 setting) after World Eaters, and at 70% none. With Dark Angels placed later, the furthest any chain gets is 7 steps at 65% (chain A2: 1,587 combinations through Emperors Children). A single Tyranid-fitted code that holds at 67% on every army is not in this knob space.

At 67%, chain A: the step that knocks out the most is World Eaters (13,832,072 of 16,886,724). At the step that empties it (Dark Angels), the best of those that came in scores 53.3% (G3) there.
At 67%, chain B: the step that knocks out the most is World Eaters (13,832,072 of 16,886,724). At the step that empties it (Dark Angels), the best of those that came in scores 62.7% (G2), 62.5% (G3) there.
Each army on its own (how many of the stored combinations reach the bar on that army alone, and the best any reaches; built Track A beside it): the walls are the armies no combination clears.

The dials among the survivors (bar 67%, chain A)
Per step, each knob's levels in use among the survivors: pinned (one level), free (every level), partly otherwise; G2's knobs for G2 survivors, and for G3 survivors their outer setting's G2 knobs plus the twelve families.
- After World Eaters, G2 (2,071,122): pinned none; partly none; free supportMeasured, kill, lifeKill, arrivalKillW, secondaryVPW, supportMeasuredW, shockPressureW, threatSoakW, scoreFloorW, pointsExp, wSoak, wScore, wActions, wHold, wSpawn, wPresence.
- After World Eaters, G3 (983,530): pinned lifeKill 0, secondaryVPW 0, scoreFloorW 0, pointsExp 0; partly kill {burst, attach4, prefer}, arrivalKillW {0, 1.5}, supportMeasuredW {1, n/a}, shockPressureW {1, 2, 4}, wSoak {1, 2}, wScore {1, 2}, wHold {1, 2}, wPresence {1, 2}; free supportMeasured, threatSoakW, wActions, wSpawn, fam:move, fam:defence, fam:tough, fam:objective, fam:ranged, fam:melee, fam:weaponkw, fam:leader, fam:synapse, fam:size, fam:body, fam:loadout.

The broadest code at 65% (chain A2's 1,587 survivors through Emperors Children): G2: pinned supportMeasured 0, lifeKill 1, secondaryVPW 0, supportMeasuredW n/a; partly kill {burst, attach8, attach4}, arrivalKillW {0, 1.5}, pointsExp {0, 0.25}, wHold {0, 1}; free shockPressureW, threatSoakW, scoreFloorW, wSoak, wScore, wActions, wSpawn, wPresence.

Follow-ups: Dark Angels' stale grades, Dark Angels last, and T-670's new dials
(1) Dark Angels. T-667's tools/panelstale.json flags Dark Angels' panel (Tactical Rock, 28 Jun) for 30 units whose points moved 10% or more since, 8 for rules and 1 absent. Every stored combination re-scored on Dark Angels with them left out of its pairs (tools/ledgercrack2.js --exam --armies dark-angels --drop …): without the points flags: 54 graded units, Track A 52.1%, best any 63.0%; at 65 / 67 / 70%: 0 / 0 / 0; without the points, rules and absent flags: 47 graded units, Track A 50.4%, best any 63.4%; at 65 / 67 / 70%: 0 / 0 / 0 (with every unit: Track A 54.1%, best 62.7%).

"Clears": of the 15 other armies, at or above the bar; the mean is over the 15 (letters, as the exam).

Reading: leaving Dark Angels' stale grades out does not open the wall: the best any combination reaches there is 63.4% (62.7% with every unit) and none reaches 65%; Track A falls with them out (52.1% against 54.1%), so the miss is not the stale grades. With Dark Angels last the chains stop at Death Guard and Adeptus Mechanicus and Orks and Space Marines instead, a step or two later. T-670's dials on the furthest survivors: the most armies at 67% stays at 4 (4 at best), the best mean over the 15 goes from 60.9% to 61.4%, and attachChars changes nothing for chain A2's survivors, whose lifeKill is on (lifeKill supplies the Kill in place of the attached Burst). No new ingredient here moves the cross-army ceiling.
