JE (1489) base r3c23, cross-lines c159, cover-houses r689, targets r1c9, r2c5
mirror nodes: the digit in r1c9 must appear with 7 in r2c46 => –2r2c46,
the digit in r2c5 must appear in r1c8 => –6r1c8, –1r2c5; 11.8 skfr -> 10.5
GE (1489) base r3c23, targets r45c7 => –2r5c7; 10.5 -> 10.3
GE explanation: the JE base digits in c7 have only r45c7 left, since:
r17c7 are given as non-base,
r2c7 sees both JE targets,
r689c7 clash with the JE cover-houses.

The GE restricts the false base digits of the JE. Each of them can have at most one cover-house clash, and one clash is already forced in r689c7.
Also, the base digits are in c8 left with r178c8.
We can take advantage of these properties with an AIC:
1 base = r17c8 base – 3r7c8 = (3–7)r6c8 = 7r6c3 – (7=1|4|9)r9c3 second cover-house clash
If 1 is base, it can be eliminated in the cover-houses, otherwise the cover-house clashes are in r9c3 and r689c7, so all other clashing candidates can be eliminated.
Either way, –1r6c36, –1r9c24; 10.3 -> 10.2.

We can locate the second clashing candidate. Assume there is no clash in c23, i.e. –1489r689c23.
r9c3=7, 7r6∈c8, 3c8∈r7, r89c2=36, 6c1∈r6, r6c3=5, r6c6=2, 2c9∈r9, r8c179=489
The 4|9 in r9c7 is forced into r8c1 and b1p89, making it a true base digit, but it cannot appear in the GE targets, contradiction.
Therefore, one of these candidates must be true, causing a second cover-house clash.
The remaining candidates that would cause clashes can be eliminated (1489r689c468).
Also, now we can only have one clash in c7, so one of the false base digits must hide in r2c7. –2r2c7; 10.2 -> 9.5
At this point, it's difficult to find meaningful progress. I ended up eliminating 3r7c8.
Assume 3r7c8. Per the reasoning on c8 just before the AIC, 1 is base. After basics:

The 4|9 in r9c9 is restricted in r8, r3 and c1, so it must take r8c1.
6r1c4 = 6r1c6 – (6=5)r6c6 – (5=8)r6c3 – 8r6c5 = 8r45c4 => –8r1c4
contradiction with basics
So –3r7c8; 9.5 -> 9.4. After singles:

The cover-house clash in c23 is located in r9c3. => –89r89c2
It's a false base digit and it cannot also clash in c7, so it hides in r2c7, r3c5, r1c1, eliminating 8s.
The digit z in r7c8 is a true base digit:
If it's 4|9, it is in b6 forced into the GE targets,
if it's 8, it is forced into b7p47 and b1p89.
Therefore, in c8, the true base digits take r17c8, so 1 is a false base digit. 9.4 -> 8.3
