The start-measurable fractional-tiling prophecy bound. ProphecyBoundS PE holds when, for every finite family of depth windows [aa i, bb i) with tail cuts jj i >= bb i and every family of nonnegative weights, each measurable in the history at its own window start, whose total weight at each single depth is at most one, the weighted sum over the family of the expected squared Doob increments of the tail masses is at most PE. Own-start measurability is precisely what a filtration reveals at the moment a window opens; it makes every weighted cross term inside a window die by the tower property (sq_sum_orth_w, weighted orthogonality of martingale increments), so the invariant passes through block regroupings with no loss, and it matches what the race filtration reveals about each component path at a component window start. The bound weakens in the constant (mono) and recovers the plain partitioned prophecy bound with unit weights on a monotone partition (toPlain).

/-- **Start-measurable fractional-tiling prophecy bound**: for every
finite family of depth windows `[aa i, bb i)` with tail cuts
`jj i ≥ bb i`, and every family of nonnegative weights — each
measurable in the history at *its own window start* — whose total
weight at each single depth is at most one, the weighted prophecy
energy of the family is at most `PE`.  Own-start measurability is
exactly what a filtration reveals at the moment a window opens; it is
the form of the invariant that passes through block regroupings with
no loss (weighted orthogonality holds inside every cell) and through
races (the race filtration at a window start reveals each component
path precisely up to the component window start). -/
