-Axis cells are typed `aura_core::Scalar` values — the same typed-cell
-pattern the op-script binds use (`OpDoc::Add { bind: BTreeMap<String,
-Scalar> }`, crates/aura-cli/src/graph_construct.rs:37).
+An axis declares its `ScalarKind` **once** — the kind is a property of the
+parameter, not of each value (user veto, 2026-07-03, of a per-cell tagged
+draft), so a mixed-kind axis is unrepresentable rather than merely refused.
+The op-script binds keep their per-cell tagged `Scalar` form
+(`OpDoc::Add { bind: BTreeMap<String, Scalar> }`,
+crates/aura-cli/src/graph_construct.rs:37): a bind slot holds exactly one
+value, so there the tag is the only kind carrier; an axis is a homogeneous
+list, so the kind belongs to the axis.
