 ### Definition of "SOTA"
 
 This ADR is "implemented and SOTA" when **all six items above ship**, the README explicitly cites complexity classes as a first-class API surface, and the CI `bench-smoke` job exercises both `time-per-solve` *and* `joules-per-solve`.
 
-**Status as of v1.7.x (2026-05-19)**: 6 of 6 roadmap items shipped, phase-2A of item #6 landed (`closure_indices` + `contrastive_solve_on_change`). The closure primitive is the load-bearing piece of the change-driven activation thesis — RuView and Cognitum can now wake on a sparse RHS delta + bounded-depth row-graph closure without scanning the full solution. Phase-2B (per-entry sublinear-Neumann inner) is the last remaining lift to declare the orchestrator end-to-end SubLinear in n. **Functionally complete + change-driven primitive in place; "fully SOTA" needs phase-2B + docs/CI polish items.**
+**Status as of v1.7.x (2026-05-19)**: 6 of 6 roadmap items shipped; item #6 now has its terminal **SubLinear** form (`contrastive_solve_on_change_sublinear`) in place. The change-driven activation primitive is fully realised: a sparse RHS delta produces a bounded-depth closure, per-entry sublinear-Neumann queries materialise only the candidate rows, and top-k extraction skips the rest of `n`. RuView, Cognitum, and Ruflo's inner loops can now claim end-to-end SubLinear contrastive solves. **All six items SubLinear-or-stronger end-to-end; "fully SOTA" remaining polish: README + BENCHMARK complexity-class language, J/solve CI integration.**

+/// SubLinear sibling of [`contrastive_solve_on_change`]: skips the inner
+/// `solve_on_change` and uses per-entry sublinear Neumann queries scoped
+/// to the closure of the delta's support. End-to-end `SubLinear` in `n`
+/// for sparse DD matrices with bounded depth — the phase-2B realisation
+/// of the ADR-001 contract.
+///
+/// ## Wiring
+///
+/// 1. `b_new = b_prev + delta` is implicit: callers pass `b_new` directly.
+/// 2. `candidates = closure::closure_indices(matrix, &delta.indices, depth)`
+///    — same bounded-depth closure as the phase-2A orchestrator.
+/// 3. For each `i ∈ candidates`:
+///        `current[i] = entry::solve_single_entry_neumann(matrix, b_new, i, max_terms, tolerance)`
+///    Never materialises the full new-solution vector.
+/// 4. `top_k = find_anomalous_rows_in_subset(prev, current_dense, candidates, k)`
+///    where `current_dense` carries the per-entry estimates at the
+///    candidate indices and stale values everywhere else.
+///
+/// ## Complexity
+///
+///   * closure:       O(depth · branch · |closure|)              SubLinear
+///   * per-entry:     O(|closure| · max_terms · |closure_max| · branch)
+///                                                                SubLinear
+///   * top-k subset:  O(|candidates| · log k)                     SubLinear
+///
+/// Net: **SubLinear in `n`** when the closure is bounded.
+///
+/// ## When to choose this over [`contrastive_solve_on_change`]
+///
+/// - **Use this** when callers have a *spectral-radius bound* `ρ < 1`
+///   handy and can pick `max_terms ≈ log_{1/ρ}(1/ε)` confidently. The
+///   closure shrinks to `≪ n` and the SubLinear advantage materialises.
+/// - **Use phase-2A** when the matrix is harder to bound and a
+///   warm-started full solve is cheaper than tuning the Neumann depth.
