+Physical Worthless recovery now precedes the same native conversion counter,

+restores an older power without resetting passes. Allowed converted prices
+retain claimed-cost provenance through real subsequent CHOAM rediscard/stop.

+Affected nineteen-file238/238 passes, including eight new cases.
+Twenty-six original-action runtime/policy paths and one controlled
+acquisition/phase, actual-rediscard refund probe pass. Four actual390px
+original journeys cover bank3, conversion denial, original full4 repricing
+and the unchanged free normal-auction lot. No overflow/browser/application
+errors; actual advisors/next-lot controls finish. Three stale Nexus Kull
+fixtures now follow mandatory native preparation/borrowed Voice; three
+focused cases and two controlled parent runtime probes pass without
+weakening production checks or changing Kull priority.
+No worker/D1/real room, human server, deployment or gate changed.

 Printed special costs now pause at their native disposal point, then resume
 one original effect with the committed card even after recovery. Emperor's
