From 798d7a2d4eb9762fa26e913792adffce3fb31000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sylph-decoder Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 17:01:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] handoff: deliver the centre-channel result and the S00A capture that is not taken Records the port s measurement on the page they read, because it closes the last open question and my own pages carried the hypothesis it settles. Keeps all three limits as they stated them, including that streams 2 and 3 are indistinguishable to the instrument so no selection rule is vindicated, and that the one-of-three-streams warning stands with its character changed rather than its colour. Also names the capture that would strengthen it most and says plainly that I have not taken it: S00A rather than a longer ADV, why it is structurally different, and what it costs -- a driven rendered run, so no --gpu=null and the additive padding comes with it.
