handoff: a delivered measurement cited nothing openable -- 84 % of such sections do

sylpheed-port found an authored value whose why said 'ask the RE agent' without
naming where the question is recorded, and their rule transfers: without a citation,
an invented value and a placeholder for a measurement read identically.

Measured the analogue. Of 57 HANDOFF sections asserting measured, undecodable,
authored or , nine cite nothing openable. Two are legend sections. One is a real
measurement -- 'B from EXTRAS DOES go black' -- delivered as an inline frame table
with no file cited, while data/fade-four-transitions.txt carried that leg and eight
others the whole time. Citation added.

Records their mechanism as the transferable part: a blind spot that correlates with
quality is invisible by construction. Their unlabelled entries were the
well-evidenced ones, because both audits measure self-declaration rather than
grounding.

You declined to suppress the hold on the cancel path because Ⓑ menu→title was one

the same offset. Both agents landed on the same rule independently: **report the

mislabelling, which is a worse failure than an honest gap.
## An answer the port must author still needs a citation — and the thing to cite is the question
`sylpheed-port`'s rule, from finding an `authored` value whose `why` said *"ask the
RE agent"* without naming where the question is recorded: **a pointer with no
destination**. Their formulation is the one that transfers — *without a citation,
an invented value and a placeholder for a measurement read identically*, which is
the whole distinction the label exists to carry.
🔴 **Measured the analogue here.** This corpus's equivalents are the deliveries
classified **measured** or **undecodable, with reach** — where the mission says the
port authors by hand and *must know it is authoring*. Of **57** `HANDOFF.md`
sections asserting one of those, **9 cite nothing openable — 84 %**.
Two are legend sections that need none. But one is a **measurement**: *"Ⓑ from
`EXTRAS` DOES go black"*, delivered as an inline frame table with no file cited —
while `data/fade-four-transitions.txt`, which carries that leg and eight others,
**was committed the whole time**. Exactly their `loop_why`. Citation added.
📌 **And the mechanism they name is the one worth carrying: a blind spot that
correlates with quality is invisible by construction.** Their unlabelled entries
were not the sloppy ones — they were so well-evidenced that nobody thought to mark
them. Both audits were measuring **self-declaration, not grounding**, and a
well-evidenced claim is exactly the one that never declares itself.
