VIC design session v88: best candidate (Q=24.6, 277.4kHz)

Sweep: Bridge the non-compliant 0.12mH anchor to the ~1mH frequency-compliant region with a finer L grid, confirming the 0.1mm vapor film stays lit as series current drops when f_r crosses under 100kHz; fine turns/AWG check at adopted best.

Cell: 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25mm, 8 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.37nF, bulk water R = 10389Ω. Water/electrodes (Randles): 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 97.0µF, cell series R 16.9Ω, displacement current 96.1%, breakdown margin ×1000+. Vapor-film discharge (CGDE onset, 296V across 0.1mm film): regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 118 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window. Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain): 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 9.98 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)). Chokes: 2 × 0.00012H (20 turns, AWG 18, 2m wire, AC R 0.1Ω each). At resonance f_r = 277.37kHz: Xl = 418Ω, Xc = 418Ω, tank Q = 24.6, coil Q = 4065.6. Cell voltage 296V from 12V drive (×24.6), series current 707.1mA. VIOLATIONS: resonance 277.4kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band Score 0.271.
