Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.

FIRE-2 simulations show that stellar radial redistribution scatter saturates at ~2 kpc for stars older than ~3 Gyr, with net orbital changes depending on age and current radius, broadly matching Milky Way observations.
MESA grid models find HD 20794 is a 0.80 solar-mass star aged ~9 Gyr whose observed abundances match core-collapse supernova enrichment and are preserved over Gyr timescales.
