Two nec2c-backed CI-gated tests are now active: `corpus_nec2c_dipole_resonant_length_within_tolerance` (dipole length vs nec2c free-space resonance) and `corpus_nec2c_inverted_v_geometry_and_feedpoint` (the multi-wire inverted-V that fnec could not solve). Remaining work: ground/height-aware decks, EFHW, and loop/trap (GAP-006) — the pipeline is now in place to add them. +Notes: A physical finding was recorded — a bare thin wire resonates ~2% **longer** in idealised NEC free space than the practical 468/f rule rusty-wire uses (nec2c: 20.54 m vs 20.09 m at 7.1 MHz). The 468/f rule is the accepted length for real installations, so COMP-001 NEC length gates use a realistic ±3% tolerance rather than ±1%.
