agents: correct "both clocks" -- there is ONE, and F4 tests whether it is right
I wrote "whether the game snaps both clocks forward" into yesterday's F4 and the human asked which clocks. There are none: authored/flow.json sets `clock: "shared"`, so the title's two composited builds -- build 4 the artwork (finishes t~=118) and build 2/3 the plate (full alpha t=236) -- run on ONE clock started together. Left standing, that phrasing sends an agent hunting for a second clock this corpus says does not exist. Corrected in both briefs and in the playtest page, marked as a correction rather than silently edited. And the question is better than I first framed it. `clock: "shared"` is AUTHORED, and the port's own plate-arrival-halves.md calls it "not falsified... not confirmed to better than ~20 % either", with an unresolved anchor disagreement inside one binary: the reconciliation picked t=118 while settle_time() returns 160 and the boot prints "settles at t=160". So F4 is a TEST OF THAT PREMISE, and the discriminator is observable -- press (A) early, while the wordmark is still building in, and watch the ARTWORK rather than the plate: advances the shared clock -> the artwork SNAPS to finished only forces the plate -> the artwork KEEPS ANIMATING its build-in Both briefs now say to answer F4 before building on `shared`, and tell the port not to choose what "jump" means.

| **F1** | **The menu REPEATS on a held direction. Ours does not.** One step per deflection was authored as the safe choice; the human has now watched the real game and it repeats. | **Implement the mechanism. Take the RATE from the Decoder — do NOT ship a placeholder interval.** An invented rate here is indistinguishable from a measured one later, and this is the exact field where that already cost us. |

| **F2** | **SFX too loud, and there is no mix at all.** Measured: `confirm` −17.7 dB mean / **−0.0 dB peak**, 3 dB hotter than the music; no gain value exists anywhere in `export/` or `authored/`. | Add gains **at playback, as data** — a bus per kind. ⚠️ **Do NOT normalise in the exporter**: re-levelling destroys the relationship between clips and a modder cannot undo it. The Decoder is checking whether the mix is on the disc. |

| **F3** | **Something is missing on the title screen** — a track or a sting. The export has one music file and the port plays nothing on the title. | Wait for the Decoder; nothing to author yet. |

If Ⓐ advances the shared clock the artwork **snaps**; if it only forces the plate visible the artwork **keeps animating**. Those look different on an early press, so the oracle can settle it. **Answer it before building on `shared`.** (Correction: an earlier draft of this brief said "both clocks" — there is only ONE, and hunting for a second would waste an iteration.) |
