Variant selection pulled the declaring entry's own payload, the base, out of the candidate set and consulted it only once every declared variant had been rejected. Two real failures followed. A variant whose size the probe cannot determine deliberately survives the memory filter, because nothing proves it does not fit. As the only survivor it then won outright on any host, however small: a 2GiB machine installed an unmeasured variant in preference to the 4GiB build the entry itself ships, with no warning. 241 of the 1280 current index entries carry no files and no size, which is exactly that shape. "Largest wins" also broke whenever the base was the largest. An author writing a Q8 entry that offers a Q4 downgrade for small hosts, a natural shape that nothing in the lint, schema or docs discourages, had the Q4 installed on every large host instead. Make the base an ordinary participant. It is still exempt from both filters, so selection always terminates on something installable, but it is now ranked against the variants: a proven fit first and largest, then the base, then any variant whose size nothing could measure. Both failures disappear together. The base is probed for its size accordingly, which it was not before, because an unsized base would lose every contest to an unmeasurable variant. FellBackToBase is kept but narrowed to "no declared variant survived", rather than "the base was chosen", since the base now also wins on merit and that is not worth warning about. A recalled variant pin also became a permanent install failure. A pin the caller supplies on this request must stay fatal, but one recalled from ._gallery_<name>.yaml can be invalidated by any later gallery edit, and failing on it turned one rename into a model that could never be reinstalled or upgraded again short of deleting a dotfile the user has never heard of. A stale recalled pin is now dropped with a warning naming it, and selection runs as if it had never been recorded. Also drop the last textual reference to two abandoned designs from the DetectedCapability comment, correct the documented variants JSON example, which showed a memory_bytes of 0 that omitempty makes impossible, and remove an em dash from the install skill.
