+
+- Show persisted leftover-map reconstruction `R̂` on grouping-comparison pair buttons (ADR 0295).
+- Include the admitted reconstruction label/value in the button accessible name; keep the visible badge `aria-hidden` so it is not double-announced.
+- Missing or non-finite values omit only the reconstruction; do not derive `R̂` from distance, coordinates, residuals, rank, coverage, or any other proxy.

 ### Added
 
+- Grouping comparison leftover-pair buttons now expose persisted leftover-map reconstruction `R̂` (ADR 0295 / v2.52.0). The visible badge is decorative to accessibility APIs; the button accessible name carries the reconstruction label and value, so the explicit button `aria-label` cannot suppress the metric. Missing/non-finite `R̂` omits only that value and no client-side proxy is invented.
+
 - Grouping comparison rows now show persisted leftover-map incomplete-item count through `leftoverMapIncompleteItemCount` (ADR 0294 / v2.51.0) only for fully caller-visible persisted groupings. Partial visibility remains omitted by the API; valid zero stays visible, and the UI never derives dropped criteria from scored-minus-used.
 
 - Grouping comparison rows now show persisted leftover-map incomplete-post count through `leftoverMapIncompletePostCount` (ADR 0293 / v2.50.0) only for a fully caller-visible persisted grouping. Partial visibility omits the aggregate; valid persisted zero remains visible, and the UI never derives dropped posts from scored-minus-used.

+# ADR 0295 — Grouping comparison leftover-map reconstruction
+
+**Decision status:** Proposed
+
+## Problem
+Grouping-comparison pair rows carry persisted `leftover_map_reconstruction`, but the serialized current stack does not expose it. The historical implementation placed a reconstruction badge inside a button that already had an explicit `aria-label`; descendant text therefore did not reliably contribute to the button accessible name.
+
+## Decision
+Format only persisted `leftover_map_reconstruction` through `formatLeftoverMapReconstruction`. Render the visible `R̂` badge, mark that duplicate badge `aria-hidden`, and include the localized comparison-reconstruction label plus formatted value in the pair button accessible name. Missing or non-finite `R̂` omits only this suffix. Never reconstruct `R̂` from distance, coordinates, residuals, unexplained leftover, rank, coverage counts, or any visible-subset proxy.
+
+This is LineageWeave read-model/UI composition only; fast-mlsirm remains the psychometric owner. ADR status remains Proposed while Draft. Acceptance requires current-head hosted tests, keyboard/screen-reader/browser evidence, canonical eight-locale translation-ledger convergence, independent approval, and normal protected-branch merge.
