The three neighbouring applications out of the published branch: the NLMS step size (anc), the ODE step controllers (odestep) and the relaxation factor (relax), with the six stage scripts that drive them and the five tests that cover them. They are not part of the root-finding paper and no document refers to them. stage18_bulletproof.py keeps claim A and loses claim B; tests/test_bulletproof.py loses the one test that reached into anc. Server: verify 548 OK / 0 BAD, tests x2 1205 passed (was 1240 with the three).
