Root cause of gap 1: SOW-0121 added a valid-ID eligibility prefilter (an + OR of every invocation ID value) to keep sparse-ID journals cheap. Each + step evaluates every term, so with about 10,000 IDs it is far slower than + stock's unit/boot walk (logs-show.c `discover_next_id`, + systemd/systemd @ 8cc40e0c5e9234bf45084751ac53b1fbfe70b492, + src/shared/logs-show.c:1978-2183). The prefilter is now kept only for at + most 32 IDs (Rust `ELIGIBILITY_MAX_TERMS`, Go + `invocationEligibilityMaxTerms`); with zero IDs the walk still ends at + once. Rows without a valid ID are skipped by the walker either way, so + output is unchanged. +2.
