For the uniform-arrival residual mass martingale with total weight 0<S<1, the first crossing of level one happens continuously: its only jumps are downward, and an arrival almost surely misses the finitely many deterministic possible crossing times. Stop at that crossing or at r<1. The stopped values lie between zero and one, and their limit as r↑1 is the crossing indicator. Optional stopping and dominated convergence identify its probability as S. At S=1 the strict boundary inequality already fails at time zero.
