Solid puzzle, Cogs. Definitely tricky, but most clues gettable from the wordplay. I found it difficult to get on your wavelength a lot, but your explanations hold up. In 16d you're using degenerate in a very unfair way that perhaps warrants a question mark at the very least. For my money, I liked 12a, 1d, and 17d the most.
