`contextBreakdown.messageTokens` and `measure().surfaceTokens` answer the same
question in the same heuristic vocabulary, and the panel's composition rows are
only honest while they agree. Each owner carried its own copy of the positional
fold — same pricing, same `{seq, tokens}` node list, same replace-range lookup
and guard, differing only in mutable versus immutable application — so an edit
to either one would have moved the panel away from `measure()` with both sides
still green. The duplication gate caught the shared 62 tokens.
`src/surface-fold.ts` now owns `foldSurfaceTokens`: total, allocation-fresh,
returning the event's price, the next surface, and the signed total delta. The
service assigns that result where it used to prepare a commit closure, which
keeps its validate-before-mutate replay transaction intact — the fold throws
before any state is touched, so a malformed event still fails identically on
every retry. `_prepareSurfaceMutation` and `_estimateSurfaceEvent` go away with
it, and the projection's apply drops to one call.
Covers the identity with a session that appends and then compacts, asserting
the projection figure equals the service surface at each boundary; the test
fails when either side of the fold is perturbed.
