Stopping agitation will decrease contrast.
Yup, I know that, but *why*. Do the shadows stop getting darker or do the
highlights continue to develop "down" when you stop agitating? In
one case the developer exhausts while continuing to act on the other.

I cannot for the life of me remember which way it works: Whether
the highights exhaust and the darker values continue to develop
or vice versa.
Another way to say this: If I want to *increase* contrast by making the
shadows darker and "holding back" the highlights how to I do this when
developing a print?
Bonus Question: Is there are similar/complementary effect when doing this
to film?
