Below is a single, compressed, Appendix-ready PGFPlots block that implements all four requests simultaneously, with no ambiguity and purely analytic definitions:

✓ shaded collapse regions
✓ multiple p\''p^\''p\* markers for varying τ0\tau_0τ0
✓ single multi-panel figure (tolerance + binary mask)
✓ symbolic derivation of p\''p^\''p\* inside the plot (no hard-coding)

This is drop-in LaTeX.

Shaded regions denote guaranteed collapse ($\tau(p)<|r|_{\max}$).
Vertical lines mark analytically derived collapse indices
$p^\*=\log_2(\tau_0/|r|_{\max})$.

If you want next:
• add IR-fixed-point curves to panel (a)
• promote τ0\tau_0τ0 to a continuous parameter
• or export this figure as a standalone TikZ file for journal submission
