From f7eac0e6767c9959522aebd4a5c51c19538408b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sylpheed port agent Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 08:17:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] port: rendered pulse counted in their units; #4 refutes the voice value without fixing it With their predicate the port's render is comparable to their capture for the first time: pulse minimum 805 against their 714, peak 1420 against 1520, both far above the 154 floor. So 'never goes off' holds in the port's own render. My pulse is 24% shallower and I am NOT tuning it -- their own limit says the counter is thresholded pixels, so a depth measured this way is a fact about the threshold as much as the glow. The port draws the declared ramp. #4: 148 s of the game's output, five of six channels distinct, no channel a copy, largest pairwise correlation 0.70 between FL and FR. So presentation: loudest -- keeping one stream -- is refuted by what the game PLAYS, not merely suspected. Stays unfixed on their instruction: the stream-to-channel mapping is not run, and swapping one authored guess for another is worse than a guess that is labelled. Also records that '6 channels' is Xenia's hardcoded default, not evidence of 5.1.
