The measured Microsoft badge variant (2026-08-27 registration) is the first
`tr`-corner mark and the first `long`-side scale basis: the pill tracks the
render dimension, so a
1024x1536 portrait carries the same pill as 1536x1024, and a width basis
undersized the template by the aspect ratio (portrait carriers fell to
0.15-0.32 NCC until the basis was measured). The silhouette is a white pill with
its synthetic internal shapes knocked out - the holes are what separate it from
any other bright rounded corner element (a plain white pill scores below the gate
in the tests). It does not claim coverage of Microsoft's other documented icon,
wording, or position variants.
The 2026-08-27 rerun used the registered engine through
`scripts/registered_mark_calibrate.py`, rather than a copied detector
configuration. The manifest kept three evidence classes separate: 17 visually
confirmed carriers, 343 Microsoft-provenance files without a visual adjudication,
and 1200 non-overlapping no-signal controls. At the strict 0.38 gate, 15/17
confirmed carriers fired (min 0.249, p50 0.519, p90 0.578, max 0.579), while
0/1200 controls fired (p99 0.200, max 0.293). The provenance cohort produced
78/343 fires, but that is not a recall measurement because provenance identifies
the provider, not the presence of this visible layout. No provenance relaxation
ships until that cohort is visually labeled.
The detector and removal mask must use compatible geometry. A detector that
fires while producing an empty or misplaced mask is a removal failure even if
