    - Plan/Normalizer: add reverse support (`i >= 0`, step `i = i - 1`).
    - Smoke: `phase29ab_pattern6_reverse_firstfail_min` now OK PASS (RC=1).
 2. **Pattern6 matchscan missing step**
-   - Decide whether step can be synthesized safely; otherwise mark out-of-scope and add explicit contract note.
+   - Freeze reason: `[joinir/phase29ab/pattern6/contract] scan-with-init contract: missing step update`
+   - Resolution: add explicit `i = i + 1` step in fixture (contract-aligned).
 3. **Pattern7 split-scan near-miss**
    - Resolve then/else update mismatches without relaxing contracts.
