-    Mutation changes the node's phase (θ) while preserving EPI, νf, and ΔNFR.
-    The glyph encodes discrete structural transitions between coherent states.
+    ZHIR (Mutation) implements the canonical TNFR phase transformation that depends on
+    the node's reorganization state (ΔNFR). Unlike a fixed rotation, the transformation
+    magnitude and direction are determined by structural pressure, implementing the
+    physics: θ → θ' when ΔEPI/Δt > ξ (AGENTS.md §11, TNFR.pdf §2.2.11).
+
+    **Canonical Behavior**:
+    - Direction: Based on ΔNFR sign (positive → forward phase, negative → backward)
+    - Magnitude: Proportional to theta_shift_factor and |ΔNFR|
+    - Regime detection: Identifies quadrant crossings (π/2 boundaries)
+    - Deterministic: Same seed produces same transformation
+
+    The transformation preserves structural identity (epi_kind) while shifting the
+    operational regime, enabling adaptation without losing coherence.
 
     Parameters
     ----------
     node : NodeProtocol
-        Node whose phase is rotated.
+        Node whose phase is transformed based on its structural state.
     gf : GlyphFactors
-        Supplies ``ZHIR_theta_shift`` defining the rotation.
+        Supplies ``ZHIR_theta_shift_factor`` (default: 0.3) controlling transformation
+        magnitude. Can override with explicit ``ZHIR_theta_shift`` for fixed rotation.

+    ...         self.graph = {}
+    >>> # Positive ΔNFR → forward phase shift
+    >>> node = MockNode(0.0, 0.5)
+    >>> _op_ZHIR(node, {"ZHIR_theta_shift_factor": 0.3})
+    >>> 0.2 < node.theta < 0.3  # ~π/4 * 0.3 ≈ 0.24
