The doubt was my own artefact: the entry dump printed only the first two sprite
names in HashMap order, making 11 and 14 look like different studios. Full sets
are identical.
7 of 8 pairs declare identical sprite sets, control included. 4/7 does not: entry
7 carries nine sprites entry 4 lacks, including ptlogo_jp and ptlogo_jpeff, so the
Japanese title is a different element inventory rather than the same screen
localised. That matches the JP capture work from the other side.

menu_focus.py's row centres are design-space rows from screenshot output; my
probes fed it whole-display x11grab frames carrying Xenia's chrome and a surface
scaled 1.060. Caught by ground truth, not by a control: the probe announced 'on
EXTRAS', pressed A, and opened OPTIONS.
Measured directly with ring_row.py: initial focus on a fresh boot is NEW GAME,
2/2 fresh boots, both the first menu entry. That agrees with boot_menu.sh's own
line and menu-state-in-memory.md's four-downs, and withdraws this page's
'TUTORIAL 2/2' as the outlier.
Persistence stands and is now geometry-free -- 384.0 vs 385.5, 1.5 px apart. An
equality test is immune to a constant offset, which is why the conclusion survived
a broken reader when the published item names did not.
The control was structurally blind: 'two DOWNs move two items' tests relative
motion, and a constant offset preserves it exactly.
EXTRAS remains unmeasured; that run navigated to OPTIONS.
