From 9d3b86c881a6ca9ed994037303121e67d63ffaea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sylpheed port agent Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:04:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] port: quantify the merge gap, and write down what P5's gate actually asks The Decoder closed with the fact that gates everything: main is about 234 commits behind their branch, so nothing either agent decided this week is reachable from it. That is also where P5's gate sits, and it is the one open item whose framing I own. Measured from this side: 256 commits ahead of origin/main and 0 behind, so main is an ancestor and the merge is a fast-forward with nothing to resolve. 58 files -- the exporter and its examples, the Godot scripts, authored/, tools/port/ and docs/port/. RUNNING.md gains a section 6 saying what a person is actually being asked to do, in three lines: run --boot --play, walk the table, and say whether it behaves as described -- NOT whether it matches the game, because that comparison is the oracle's and is already asserted by check-all. That distinction is the point of writing it down. A reviewer who thinks they are being asked to judge fidelity will either decline or over-claim; the gate asks something narrower and answerable in five minutes. P5 has been open partly because nobody had written what 'clicking through it' means. What this does not do is meet the gate. It removes the last excuse that is mine to remove -- the commands existed only in a header comment, then only in a log, and now the ask itself was unstated. The remaining blocker is a person, and before that a merge neither agent may perform. BLOCKED's contract row now carries both directions quantified rather than described.
