+- **The stretching-family trial-epsilon search now resamples `current`, not
+  `reference`.** `stretching_cc`, `measure_stretching_trailing`, and
+  `measure_wts` previously interpolated the *reference* waveform at trial
+  positions `t/(1+eps)` and held `current` fixed; they now interpolate
+  *current* at `(1+eps)*t` and hold `reference` fixed, matching the field's
+  usual convention (the reference is the stable, often multi-day-averaged
+  anchor; the current trace is the one being tested against it). **The exact
+  conversion `dv/v = -eps/(1+eps)` is unchanged** — both conventions give
+  the identical exact map (see the derivation in the PR), so this is not a
+  second sign-convention flip; it is an internal numerics change with a
+  small (single-digit-percent) shift in finite-sample results, since a
+  different (per-day, typically noisier) trace is now the one being
+  resampled. Added `synthetic_demo.dvv_to_epsilon` (the exact inverse of
+  `eps_to_dvv`) and `synthetic_demo._stretch_window`, a common
+  valid-support window shared across the whole epsilon grid so no trial
+  epsilon is silently extrapolated and every candidate is scored on an
+  identical sample count (warns and shrinks the window if the requested
+  one would need extrapolation at the edges of `eps_max`; none of the
+  packaged `use_cases.py` configs hit this).
+  `tests/data/golden/manifest.json` regenerated against the new numerics
+  (`golden.MANIFEST_VERSION` bumped 2 → 3 so stale per-user caches
+  regenerate); a hidden/private golden corpus built with `private_golden.py`
+  before this change should be regenerated too.
