+### an_empty_cell_beside_a_collapsed_measure_group_is_writable
+
+improvise-sjdb, a regression PR #217 introduced and its review found. `_Measure`
+is on Column with Revenue and Cost in a collapsed group `Money` and `Units`
+ungrouped, and the Feb row is empty. The host projects Feb × Units as a
+`Record`. A caught-up `SetCell` on it was answered `Rejected(MutationRefused)`
+at `bc060f67`. It was accepted before #217. `aggregate_refusal` found the
+unstored record by `RecordHash` alone, which drops `_Measure`, so it judged the
+record at the first column on Feb's row, the `Money` fold, which `cell_id` calls
+`Aggregate`. The setup asserts that the fold comes before `Units` on the row and
+that the target projects as `Record`, so a fixture where the first column is
+harmless cannot pass. The fix looks the cell up by its whole key. The rival is
+the old lookup by record, which is this test's red commit, `6e021699`.

+### a_stored_record_the_hosts_view_aggregates_is_writable
+
+improvise-sjdb, from the #217 review. South/Revenue is stored, then `Product` is
+added on `Axis::None` in the host's view, so the host projects South's position
+as `Aggregate`. A stored record is a record wherever it is drawn, because
+`RecordHash` is document-scoped (gotcha 44). A records-mode client, or one on
+another view, may write it. The setup asserts the host really does project
+`Aggregate` there, so the test cannot pass on a view that draws South plainly.
+Rival: stored records sent through `cell_id` like unstored ones. That rival
+fails this test and nothing else in `improvise-command`. Before this test,
+nothing in the suite saw it.
