I get that. The svara is nice but the texts seem to contradict it! The
conclusion is that the ONLY asei (kiyyumis or chiyuvis) is bo'erev
to'chlu matzos. See sefer hamtizvos, hinuch etc.

The mashma'us AIUI is not that the hiyyuv is reduced to kiyyum but to
reshus b'alma and an issur asei for eating hametz. This GRA aisi is
tzarich iyyun it's a total hiddush
