E8.DEGREE.LADDER.01: the reverse-audit 'unmapped' E8 Casimir degrees are NOT diffuse overhead but the forced two-family decomposition deg(E8) = 6·spine{2,3,4,5} (+) ({2} U flavor-det-ladder{8,14,20}) -- the structural complement of v354/v355/v430. [E] TWO-FAMILY SPLIT FORCED BY 30=2·3·5: the E8 exponents are the φ(30)=8 totatives of h=30=2·N_fam·g_car (coprime to 6 => ±1 mod 6), so the degrees occupy ONLY the residue classes {0,2} mod 6. [I] 6k family {12,18,24,30}/6 = {2,3,4,5} = the v91 spine {e3,e1,e2,p0}(a=(1,1,2)). [I] 6k+2 family {2,8,14,20}: {8,14,20}=(det R,det C,det L)=the winding line det M(s,0)=6s+8 of the flavor diamond (v135), C=R+Q diag(1,0,0). [E] '18'=6·N_fam is NOT a holdout (spine family, not on the det-ladder). [E] SPECIAL TO E8 among the simply-laced exceptionals (E6/E7/D5 fail the clean {0,2}-mod-6 split). [P] HONEST v355 LINE: the arithmetic decomposition is exact [I], but the FUNCTORIAL claim '6k+2 Casimir stratum = flavor sheet operators' needs a rep-theoretic map ([P]); 12,24 admit two canonical readings each, so this is a STRUCTURE theorem, not a forced functorial flavor map -- reclassifies v354 overhead to zero orphan degrees, closes no gate.
