Status: OUT
Streaming's self-sufficiency enables the quality divergence (high algorithmic quality achieved without engineering discipline) only while the streaming paradigm's implicit language-level safety assumptions hold — when Python's arbitrary-precision semantics cause streaming algorithms to fail on inputs outside problem constraints, the clean divergence story is incomplete.
Streaming is the mechanism of quality inversion AND is self-sufficient, but self-sufficiency assumes language-level safety; nontermination on negative input demonstrates a concrete hole in that assumption, bounding the divergence claim.
