Follows the necessity census. 'The order moves' is a property of the sort; the
tie-break work already found reorders costing zero pixels, so the picture
moving is a separate claim. Rendered each of the 62 deciding builds twice and
diffed.
38 .prm deciders: changed_px == ink_px in ALL 38. Without the rule the
primitive sorts last, paints over everything, and the
screen composites to pure black. The port's original
contradiction argument, measured on 38 builds across seven
archives instead of argued on two.
24 .tbm deciders: zero -- and that is MY INSTRUMENT, not a finding.
The control asked whether the composite had ink; it always does. The question
was whether the reordered ELEMENT has ink, and compose draws no pixels at all
for a .tbm. So those 24 zeros measure our renderer's blindness by construction.
tie_break_pixel_cost.rs already had the per-element ink_mask this needed.
Reported rather than quietly patched: a control that cannot fail is the shape
this corpus keeps paying for.
Also corrects two things the port agent caught:
- 'Two renderers, same answer' was true of the six GP_TITLE instances and not
of the other 74. The port's re-run of my probe is my code executed twice;
its independent leg was removing its own exporter post-pass, which covers
GP_TITLE only. The disc-wide 62 has one witness and the page now says so.
- forced_backdrop_necessity.rs defaulted to GP_TITLE with no argument, so a
bare run printed 6 instances in the same format as 80. It now walks every
dat/*.pak and reports the archive count.
