Why does Meowdoku Level 49 keep stalling near the end?

Meowdoku Level 49 Walkthrough

hard 5 colors

Meowdoku Level 49 is a lane-before-strip board. The left-center lane and upper-right block have to close before the cyan strip and final floor cells inherit their rows.

Board Notes

Layout: This 7x7 board has a brown top shelf, a lime left-center lane, a pink upper-right block, a cyan lower-right strip, and a green lower middle. Anchors are already visible near the upper-right and lower-left while the middle rows shrink.
Goal: The left-center lane and upper-right block share the same middle rows. The right strip only becomes safe after those two regions are reduced.
Opening: Keep the visible anchors, solve the left-center lane before the cyan strip, and let the upper-right block give up its last shared diagonal first.
Danger Zone: The lower-right strip still depends on the middle lane. Treating it like cleanup too early is the main trap.
Mechanics: Level 49 delays the strip until the lane and top block stop competing for its rows.
