port: a check that measures CHANGE, run against the defect it was written for
Closes the two items the play-test left after the fix landed. 1. tools/port/verify-motion, wired into check-all with its control. It films a REAL boot -- no --time, no pinning -- and hands it to tools/motion-census. The window is the DECLARED build-in (publisher t=0..45, 0.75 s at 60 units/s), so it asks about the interval the disc says is animating and nothing else. 🔴 BOTH SIDES MEASURED, not one measured and one assumed. I reverted the single operator in pose_at, ran this check against the defect, and restored it: broken (ASSIGNS the settle instant) 40 % and it FAILED fixed (clamps to it) 86 % and it passed The bar of 60 sits mid-gap: 20 points above the defect, 26 below the fix. 🔴 AND MY FIRST VERSION OF THAT BAR WAS JUSTIFIED BY A NUMBER I HAD NOT MEASURED. It claimed "~40 points of clearance on both sides"; with a 1.0 s window the real clearance was 5 points, because that window includes 0.25 s of legitimate hold and dilutes the signal. A bar defended by an unmeasured number is this whole check's own defect, one level up. Corrected with the measurements and the sequence stated. The control runs FIRST and is not optional: motion-census --selftest drives a fade, a switch and a frozen film through the same loader and floor. If it cannot separate those three, every number the check reports is decoration. Then the --control mode builds a frozen film from the port's own pixels -- one real boot frame repeated -- and requires it to FAIL. It scores 0 %. One defect in the check itself, caught by running it: `ls | head` under `set -o pipefail` exits 141 before asserting anything, and a check that dies before checking looks a lot like a check that passed. 2. BLOCKED.md H2 corrected from ✅ to 🟡, against myself. The MECHANISM half stands -- no post-process pass, the blur is a baked companion texture. The BEHAVIOUR half was false and the row asserted it: I wrote "the port draws all seven quads -- verified by a frozen sweep". True, and it did not mean what I used it for. A frozen sweep drives the clock BY HAND. It proves the renderer can draw pose N and says nothing about the poses being drawn in sequence while running. All three of my instruments passed the defect -- frozen sweep, a 0.01 % settled comparison (a frozen screen matches a settled reference PERFECTLY), and an achieved-fps counter (identical pixels 25x/s score like animating). Every one measured throughput or a pose; none measured CHANGE. Same shape as InputEventAction bypassing the input map. Not settled: the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual; findings 3 and 4's remaining halves. Both were explicitly deferred by the human until this was fixed, and it now is.

port: my 12-unit bracket is withdrawn, and 41 % of my own doc citations did not resolve
Two things, and the first is a refutation of mine that lands.
1. THE 12-UNIT BRACKET IS WITHDRAWN. It excludes nothing.
I kept 60 units/s on the ground that "12 declared units measured at 0.14-0.30 s
gives 40-86 units/s, so 120 is excluded". The Decoder refuted it and I checked
the arithmetic myself:
120 units/s predicts 12 units in 0.100 s -- BELOW the sampler's own 0.125 s
resolution, which the source doc states in its own words ("at a sampling
resolution that cannot do better"). A 0.125 s sampler reports such an interval
as about one sample, ~0.125-0.14 s. So the 0.14 s low end is the INSTRUMENT'S
FLOOR, and 12/0.14 = 85.7 is an upper bound produced by dividing by a floored
duration. It is the value 120 predicts once the sampler is accounted for.
🔴 And the deeper error is mine rather than the arithmetic. I argued the leg
survived because it "never touched a frame count". True, and INSUFFICIENT: every
wall-clock duration off Canary is true/speed_factor, so apparent units/s = true x
speed, and the speed factor is precisely what makes the three routes disagree. I
checked the leg for the WRONG CONTAMINANT. Frame-free is not clock-free, and on
this emulator clock-free is the property that matters.
What survives is the half I did not lead with: the declared 12 units are
independently confirmed as SIX FRAMES by screen-transitions.md's 255/6-per-frame
ramp, with no wall clock in it. That is evidence about units per FRAME -- never in
dispute -- and silent about units per second.
So 60 has NO surviving bracket. It stays because nothing supports 120 either and
moving a shipped timeline on no evidence is worse. That is a default, not a
derivation, and the entry now says so. `kind` is already `authored`.
2. 41 % OF THE REPO PATHS CITED IN MY OWN docs/port/ PROSE DID NOT RESOLVE.
The Decoder observed that everything they hand me links into docs/re/ files that
live only on their branch, so every link they send dangles from here. I turned it
on myself and it was worse than I expected: 37 of 91, in two classes.
19 on their topic branch -- real files, not merged. Not errors, and no one in
this container can fix them; the fix is a merge.
7 resolve NOWHERE: docs/BLOCKED.md, docs/DECISIONS.md, docs/FORMAT.md,
port/manifest.json, port/screens/title/*.json. Left behind by the monorepo
move and the export/ rename. Simply wrong -- a reader following one gets
nothing, and nothing had ever told anyone.
All 7 fixed. audit-kinds checks citations in authored/; nothing checked the
PROSE, which is where this port explains itself.
New: tools/port/check-citations, wired into check-all with its control. It fails
ONLY on the resolve-nowhere class and reports the peer-branch class, because a
check that went red for a state nobody here can change is the shape the display
guard exists to prevent. The --selftest plants a dangling citation and requires it
caught, AND a real one and requires it passed -- both directions, since a scanner
that flagged everything would also "pass" the first.
Not settled: finding 3 has no surviving cause and 60 now has no surviving
derivation either; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual; pgloading_loop5's residual; the
allowance still waits on its grep trigger.

port: the re-opened rest() pair reaches nothing we draw, and 60 units/s is authored now
Two things, and both are about a label being wrong rather than a value. 1. THE rest() PAIR IS MOOT FOR THIS PORT, and that is measured rather than waited on. R1 re-opened both legs, 8 further claims died with the ⟨render-vs-capture⟩ instrument, and ScreenView.settle_time() uses rest.t -- so this port has been sitting on a question with no instrument behind either side. An element reaches the plateau-less fallback exactly when no two consecutive keyframes are identical. Census over all sixteen screens at every nesting depth: FIVE elements, three distinct -- palogo_sqex_eff, palogo_anima_eff, ptlogo_eff3, plus two region twins. And every one of them is transparent where its rest pose is read: publisher_logo t=140 not drawn: palogo_sqex_eff (transparent) developer_logos t=117 not drawn: palogo_anima_eff (transparent) title_jp --pose=rest not drawn: ptlogo_eff3 (transparent) So no rest() rule -- plateau-plus-dwell, `last`, `maxalpha` or `lastall` -- can change any pixel this port draws. That is why the splash rows score 0.01 % against their captures while resting on a heuristic nobody can currently defend: it is not load-bearing there. 🔴 And the brief's "the two splashes are the ONLY screens reaching that fallback" is narrowly refuted -- title_jp reaches it too, via ptlogo_eff3. Stated as a measurement of the CURRENT export: the record-layout fix re-timed keyframes corpus-wide and a plateau is exactly what that could create or destroy, so this does not say the claim was wrong when written. ⚠️ It does NOT rehabilitate rest.t, still wrong for transients like ptlogo_back2eff1 whose rest.t=54 is a two-frame flash's PEAK. That is a plateau case, not a fallback case, and nothing here touches it. 2. keyframe_units_per_second RECLASSIFIED measured -> authored. The value does not move; the label was false. The Decoder withdrew their guest-frame-rate finding the same day they published it, and this file carried `kind: measured` on its strength. Three routes now disagree -- withdrawn movie cadence 60, vblank ~120, title-plate-delay ~56 -- and at most one is right. 60 is kept, and not as a coin toss: the one leg of this file's own reasoning that never touched a frame count still brackets it. The transition quad is declared black for 12 units and the capture measured 0.14-0.30 s, i.e. 40-86 units/s. 60 sits inside; 120 does not; ~56 is 7 % away and inside the same bracket. 🔴 audit-kinds caught my first attempt at this, DANGLING: I cited guest-frame-rate-WITHDRAWN.md, which is on their branch and not in my checkout -- citing a document I cannot read. The check doing exactly its job. The withdrawal is now named in prose and labelled as coming from their message. 📌 Their method note is worth more than the number and is recorded in the file: their pre-registration named three ways the ruler could lie and guarded two; the third occurred, and a PERFECT 1.0000 is precisely what it produces. A clean result on an instrument whose key assumption is unguarded is not confirmation -- the cleanness may be the failure mode's own signature. Same family as this port's non-inverting latch check, which passed for the wrong reason until its control failed. Not settled: finding 3 still has no surviving cause; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual against the additive-capable reference; pgloading_loop5's own residual; and the allowance still waits on its grep trigger.

port: the additive-capable reference collapses the divergence 6x, measured at the tag
The Decoder taught `ui_layout::blit` the additive blend at formats-pin-2026-09-01b, on the argument this port made: the comparison was structurally incapable, and the refutation keeping additive out was ⟨render-vs-capture⟩ -- that renderer disagreeing with itself while it had a stale keyframe association, no leaf geometry and no rotation. MEASURED WITHOUT PULLING THEIR BRANCH INTO MINE: a detached worktree at the tag, sylpheed-cli built there, verify-screen pointed at it through SYLPHEED_CLI. My branch is untouched and the reference on `main` is unchanged. Pre-registered: the diffs caused by the gap should collapse, and whatever remains is a different cause. main_menu 7.2580 max 105 -> 1.2068 max 28 6.0x main_menu_jp 7.3440 max 108 -> 1.2111 max 31 6.1x extras 6.9757 max 113 -> 1.0229 max 28 6.8x extras_jp 7.0734 max 115 -> 1.0255 max 30 6.9x title 1.0335 max 88 -> 0.5685 max 41 1.8x title_jp 4.4944 max 233 -> 2.8225 max 233 1.6x build_12/15 0.0772 max 60 -> 0.0463 max 17 1.7x build_00/01 0.0676 max 60 -> 0.0366 max 4 DIFFERS -> OK build_00 and build_01 stop differing entirely, over3 3422 -> 0. And the twins agree to a third of a percent: main_menu 1.2068 vs main_menu_jp 1.2111 (0.36 %), extras 1.0229 vs extras_jp 1.0255 (0.25 %). Under the name-keyed map those pairs were 4.1x and 7.8x apart. Nothing was fitted -- they converged once when the PORT took the decoded field and again now that the REFERENCE draws the same blend. The residual is smaller and its causes are the documented ones: title_jp 2.82 is the --pose=rest sparkle handling, title 0.57 the ptloop sweep phase, both untouched by any of this. main_menu/extras and twins sit at ~1.0-1.2 max ~28-31, new and undiagnosed -- additive was the dominant cause, not the only one. And build_12/15 do NOT return to their pre-change 0.0368, so pgloading_loop5 carries a small residual of its own beyond the blend. Recorded, not chased. 🔴 THE ALLOWANCE SHOULD NARROW AND HAS NOT, ON PURPOSE. Its justification is gone, but check-all builds the reference from the WORKSPACE crate and the additive path is at a tag, not on `main`. Narrowing now would turn check-all red against a reference that still cannot draw additive -- a wall of failures meaning one thing, which is the defect the display guard exists to prevent. The trigger is written into the script so it does not rot: when `grep -q additive crates/sylpheed-formats/src/ui_layout.rs` succeeds, drop the export-derived clause and keep the two named legacy rows. The set that should then differ is measured above. H5 confirmed from the other side. And a trap worth carrying: the Decoder nearly reported my H5 claim as a contradiction because `loop5` is not a sprite -- it is an ELEMENT, pgloading_loop5.rat, resolving to sprite pgloading_ring.t32. Any census keyed by sprite name will miss it. Not settled: the ~1.0-1.2 residual on the menus; pgloading_loop5's own residual; finding 3, where the Decoder is taking the clock origin; and the 8 claims R1 has re-opened against ⟨render-vs-capture⟩, including BOTH legs of the rest() pair that this port's settle behaviour rests on.

port: my pteff10 counter-example failed, H5 closes as additive, and I broke my own allowance
Three things, and the first is the one worth reading. ❌ MY COUNTER-EXAMPLE FAILED. I reported pteff10 as a possible counter-example to the ✅ DECODED blend bit. It is not: the oracle measures it ADDITIVE on main_menu in all three menu sessions, every frame, entry 5 of blend-bit-vs-oracle.txt. My premise was a stale COVERAGE TABLE of theirs, sitting upstream of its own correction. I inferred "their log does not cover this element" from a summary and called it a contradiction with a capture. The lesson is not that their table was stale -- it is that I treated a summary as the log, having spent three iterations insisting that other people quote instruments rather than conclusions. Their explanation made a prediction, so I checked it rather than accepting it: if additive and alpha-over nearly coincide on a dim glow, why did my score move 20 %? Diffing the two renders, where pteff10's blend is the only change: identical 373 588 px (40.5 %) differing > 3 330 794 px (35.9 %) MAX difference 32 levels pixels >= 60: 0 Their explanation holds and my scepticism does not. Nothing moves more than 32/255. What moved the RMSE is AREA. 📌 And that generalises past this row: raw-rmse is AREA-WEIGHTED, so a shallow change over a third of the frame moves it far more than a deep change over a few hundred pixels, and the number alone cannot say which you have. 10.88 -> 13.02 reads like a serious regression and is invisible to an eye. Any verify-capture row that moves should be asked "broad or deep?" first; it costs one histogram. I did NOT take their suggestion to exclude the element from the metric. The reason to exclude -- "the metric cannot distinguish these" -- is now measured to be false; it distinguishes them fine and weights them by area. Excluding would remove the only signal that would fire if the bit were wrong elsewhere. ✅ H5 CLOSES, as a side effect. pgloading_loop5 -- the element I had localised all 951 differing pixels to -- carries blend_additive, and ui_layout.rs has no additive path, so the reference cannot reproduce that draw by construction. build_00/build_01 agreed only because they never draw it; with the decoded field they gained loop1/loop4 additive and now differ too, as predicted. 🟢 The strongest corroboration of the decoded field came unfitted, from the rows I was not looking at. EN/JP twins were 4.1x and 7.8x apart under the name-keyed map and are now 1.1 % and 1.3 % apart (main_menu 7.26 vs 7.34, extras 6.98 vs 7.07). A disc-wide field predicts locale twins render identically; a screen-name map cannot. That prediction was not available to me before the swap. 🔴 AND I BROKE MY OWN ALLOWANCE, silently, one iteration after building it. check-all's verify-screen allowance derived from authored/rendering.json's additive_elements -- the key I deleted last commit -- so it evaluated to EMPTY and would have failed six rows for no reason anyone could read off the output. Caught by going to look, not by the check. A derived allowance is only as durable as the thing it derives from, and I pointed this one at a file I then emptied. It now derives from the EXPORT. ⚠️ That is LOOSER and the cost is stated: 12 of 16 screens qualify and verify-screen goes fully green. Measured after the swap the two sets line up exactly -- all 10 differing screens have a drawn additive element, all 6 agreeing screens have none -- but a screen differing for some OTHER reason would now be excused. 📌 The real fix is not here: verify-screen compares two renderers and one cannot express a blend the disc declares. Giving ui_layout.rs an additive path would make it meaningful again. PROPOSED, not done -- their crate, and their refutation of additive predates the measurement that overturned it. Not settled: finding 3, which now has no surviving named cause at all -- the Decoder is taking the clock origin, on the grounds that every measurement either of us has made is a DIFFERENCE and a difference cannot detect a common offset.

port: delete the authored blend map for the decoded field, and find a counter-example doing it
PORT-MISSION §3: "When the RE agent later decodes something you had authored, delete the authored entry and let the exporter emit it. That deletion is the measure of progress." This is that deletion. authored/rendering.json's `additive_elements` -- a per-screen list transcribed from the Decoder's per-draw RB_BLENDCONTROL0 log -- is gone. The exporter emits `blend_additive` per element and per nested focus/leaf element from `T8aD +0x04` bit 0x02, and ScreenView reads it there. Both accessor spellings are needed: `ptbtn00f.t32` is in build.sprites while no element carries it as `sprite`, and it is the sharp case -- the plate alpha-over, its own glow additive, adjacent draws on one screen. CHECKED BEFORE THE SWAP, and the map turned out to be a SUBSET, not the answer: 15 elements it called additive the disc agrees with, ZERO contradictions, and 17 MORE the disc marks that it did not. Those include the sweep LEAVES (draw_leaf_for means pteff03/pteff03a are what reach the screen while the map listed their parents) and TWELVE on `title`, where the map was deliberately empty -- so the port has been drawing every title effect with the wrong blend. H6 closes with no capture at all: the JP asymmetry was an artefact of a NAME-KEYED map, and the bit is on the disc for every screen at once. 🔴 AND IT INTRODUCED A REGRESSION, WHICH IS REPORTED, NOT HIDDEN. Against the oracle captures on the GPU: main_menu 10.88 -> 13.02, main_menu_options 11.56 -> 13.57. Deterministic to the digit over three runs, so not sampling noise. Isolated to ONE element, with a control: - main_menu's only newly-additive top-level element is pteff10; - extras gained none and did not move -- the same change on a screen with nothing new moves nothing; - the leaf rule was disabled separately and main_menu stayed at 13.02, so pteff03/pteff03a are NOT the cause. That prediction of mine failed; the rule is restored, being provably neutral here; - title did not move despite twelve newly-additive elements, consistent with verify-capture posing at settle t=198 where those quads are transparent. That is a potential COUNTER-EXAMPLE to a ✅ DECODED claim, and it is a sharp question rather than a guess: their own map lists pteff10 additive on `extras` and not on `main_menu`, and they logged BOTH screens. Asked in BLOCKED.md H6. Shipped anyway, for reasons stated rather than assumed: +2.14 is inside the harness's own ±3.78 capture-phase term for that screen and cannot adjudicate a disc fact; the decoded source is far better evidenced (35 elements, zero errors, out-of-sample prediction 3 of 16); and fitting an exception for one element would put an authored entry back to make one number smaller, which is the move this project keeps having to undo. It is a KNOWN regression, not an unnoticed one. Also settled this iteration, for the Decoder's open question: the port FADES the plate, it does not pop it. Frozen sweep of the plate region -- 210u 0.1457, 216u 0.1573, 222u 0.1727, 228u 0.1900, 236u 0.2142 -- a clean monotone ramp across the declared 214->236. So t=236 is the port's COMPLETION, not its onset, and the 0.367 s "late plus a pop" reading does not apply. Not settled: whether pteff10 has a counter-example; H1's repeat half; the four red verify-screen rows; and finding 3, which still has no cause now that units/s is settled at 60.

port: adopt the game's 61% stick threshold, and find my verify-screen numbers were llvmpipe-specific
Two things, and both are about a hidden parameter nobody was recording. 1. THE STICK THRESHOLD IS DECODED NOW, and it replaces an authored value. The Decoder measured that the game digitises the left stick to four direction bits at 61 % deflection, so it never sees a velocity. Gamepad.ENTER moves 0.5 -> 0.61. The 0.5 was never a chosen value: it was a FLOOR, because Godot's `ui_*` action deadzone is 0.50 and the latch must not arm below it. Between 0.50 and 0.61 Godot reports a direction the real game does not, and at 0.5 this port stepped there. The mechanism also corroborates the human's latch fix rather than merely agreeing with it: a control that digitises to bits cannot express a rate, so "one step per deflection" is what the hardware layer CAN produce. ⚠️ The 0.11 hysteresis gap stays AUTHORED -- nothing says the game has hysteresis at all. And a human chose 0.5, so this changes feel: revert the one constant if 0.61 reads as needing too much push. 🔴 AND THE CONTROL CAUGHT MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT ASSERTING IT. I added the new device-level row as subject "latch", and `verify-input --control` failed immediately with "a check did not invert -- it is not testing what it claims to test". It was right: removing the latch does not remove the THRESHOLD, the unlatched path tests `>= Gamepad.ENTER` too, so 0.55 counts 0 either way and the row could never invert. It is a NEGATIVE, and its positive control is the 0.70 row on the same shape. Reclassified. That also exposed a smaller thing: ok()'s negative branch HARDCODED "positive control is the stick row", so a second negative would have borrowed someone else's green line. It now takes the control's name, defaulting to the original text so the d-pad row is unchanged. ✅ I never consumed the pad bit table they have just corrected -- checked by grep over port/, authored/ and tools/port/, not remembered. 2. MY verify-screen NUMBERS WERE llvmpipe-SPECIFIC, and the prediction failed. Pre-registered: both renderers blend in encoded 8-bit space, so the diffs should be identical or within 1 level on the GPU. They are not -- every mean rose 3-35 %: title 0.4431 -> 0.5936, main_menu 3.9363 -> 4.1449, extras 6.7422 -> 6.9757, title_jp 2.7715 -> 2.9448, main_menu_jp 0.7885 -> 1.0157, extras_jp 0.6592 -> 0.8906, build_12/15 0.0368 -> 0.0454. But the MAXIMA are unchanged -- 41, 97, 113, 233, 17 identical, 26 -> 27 on one row. That is a rounding population growing, not content moving: two rasterisers round the last bit of a blend differently while the elements that genuinely differ do not move. Survives: the additive diagnosis, because it rests on an ORDERING and the ordering holds (9 elements > 5 > 0); the pgloading_loop5 localisation; the build_00/01 agreement; the derived allowance, same four failing rows. Does not, and is now labelled: the histogram (53 % within 1 level, 16 844 over 40); every absolute mean; and the RMSE-vs-capture pair 3151.96 / 3769.61 -- that ORDERING claim is not re-derived on the GPU and is not claimed until it is. The rule this earns: a renderer comparison carries its RASTERISER as a hidden parameter. Nothing here recorded which one produced a diff, and for months there was only one so it never mattered. Same discipline TEMPORAL-VERIFICATION already demands for capture rate, applied to what rasterises rather than what clocks. Not settled: H1's repeat half; H6's +0x04 exposure; the four red verify-screen rows; whether the port is still nearer the capture than the reference on the GPU.

port: P7's gate has an artifact, and the GPU kills my finding-4 candidate outright
Three things this iteration, and the middle one is the human's doing. P7 -- GATE MET, with an artifact. The path had been wired for some time (then_video S00A, skipped_chain, after_video -> title, and S00A.ogv in the export) and NOBODY HAD RUN IT. A milestone is done when its artifact exists, not when the wiring reads correctly. Pre-registered: unskipped, S00A is 93.78 s of media, so it should end on its own at ~94 s and hand off to title. Measured: video ended at 94.13 s -- +0.35 s, 0.4 % -- then -> title, plate raised, script complete at 96.83 s. Both predictions held. docs/port/p7-gate.md. And it genuinely decodes, checked because "ends at the right time" does not prove it: 45 frames in a 2.03 s window, 244 in an 18.91 s one. Scales with the window, sub-linearly, at the software fill ceiling -- those two runs predate the GPU. The counts are upper bounds and the port says so itself. Free corroboration of the fill-rate finding, from a direction it was not designed for: the unskipped run reports main_menu at 60.3 fps for 94 s, because the screen never changes during a movie. Same process, same container, same screen: 60.3 fps with one full-screen video texture on top, 9.7 fps drawing the menu's five additive full-screen quads. ❌ THE FINDING-4 FRAME-RATE CANDIDATE IS DEAD, tested rather than argued away. The human activated a hardware GPU in both containers; Godot takes it with no change on our side (NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti, Vulkan 1.4.312, Forward+): publisher_logo 17.3-25.0 -> 69.4 fps developer_logos 16.7-22.8 -> 69.1 title 12.7-17.2 -> 61.1 main_menu 9.7 -> 59.6 Pre-registered that 5-7 full-screen textured quads at 720p is trivial for that card and the fade would get its full 45 steps. At 69 fps the 45-unit build-in gets 52 drawn steps and the companion glow's 15-unit rise gets 17 -- MORE frames than declared units, so every declared alpha is drawn and the quantisation is absent rather than reduced. So every candidate for finding 4 is now dead: keyframes vindicated against the vertex stream, companion quads drawn, blend space matching, settled pose at 0.01 %, no post-process pass, and the frame rate drawing every declared step. The port has nothing left that is KNOWN to be wrong about the splashes -- which is a statement about our knowledge, not about the port. The human saw something and nothing we can measure reproduces it. The next play-test is now the highest-value thing on this focus, and the rate line will say 60-something. One figure did not improve: main_menu's worst gap is 117 ms on the GPU against 150 ms on llvmpipe, essentially unchanged while the mean improved 6x. A hitch that survives a 6x fill speed-up is not fill. Likely first-frame cost, STATED AS UNTESTED, recorded rather than chased. check-all now asserts the display before any Godot step. Xvfb does not survive a container restart and LEAVES ITS SOCKET BEHIND, so Godot reports "X11 Display is not available", falls back to Wayland, fails that too, and exits non-zero -- and every Godot-backed step would have gone red for that one reason. Cost me one run before I noticed. Checked with xdpyinfo rather than by looking for the socket, because the stale socket is what makes it confusing. Also recorded from the P7 run, neither chased: Godot reports 4 leaked ObjectDB instances at exit on that path, and the menu bed keeps playing under the movie (already an open ask -- does the menu music duck?). Not settled: the 117 ms menu hitch; H6's +0x04 exposure; H1 (with the Decoder); the four red verify-screen rows; and what the human actually saw.

port: the frame rate is llvmpipe, not our draw path -- and my finding-4 candidate is downgraded
Last iteration left "is 9.7 fps llvmpipe or something in our draw path" open after publishing a candidate cause off it. That is not a question to leave open, so this iteration is the control. Pre-registered: if the rasteriser is the limit, a near-empty scene in the same container also runs at 10-25 fps; if our draw path is, it runs far faster, take >100 fps as the discriminator. empty 161.6 fps The engine loop, viewport and present path are not the limit, by 16x over the menu. 🔴 AND MY FIRST CONTROL WAS NOT A CONTROL. Its fill modes drew UNTEXTURED rects while every element the port draws is a texture, so it bounded nothing -- and it showed: the splashes were achieving ~21 Mpx/s against that control's ~50, which read as the port being mysteriously slow and was the control being mysteriously fast. With a matched textured mode: empty 161.6 | fill3 31.5 | tex3 23.9 | fill7 12.7 | tex7 11.2 and every port screen lands inside the bracket, ordered by large-quad count: publisher (1 quad) 17.3-25.0 ~ tex3; developer (1) 16.7-22.8 ~ tex3; title (6) 12.7-17.2 between; main_menu (5) 9.7 ~ tex7's 11.2. The port draws large textured alpha quads on a software rasteriser at exactly the rate a software rasteriser draws them. ⚠️ The control's own spread is 1.75x between runs (fill3 measured 18.0 once and 31.5 once), so the absolute figures are noise-dominated and only the ORDERING and the BRACKET are load-invariant. That is what the conclusion rests on -- TEMPORAL-VERIFICATION §3, prefer the quantities with no phase. 🔴 SO MY OWN CANDIDATE FOR FINDING 4 IS DOWNGRADED, AND THIS SAYS SO PLAINLY. Last iteration called the frame rate "the first candidate for finding 4 that is not already dead". The quantisation argument still holds -- a fade drawn in four steps is not a fade drawn in fifteen -- but it only bites at these rates, and these rates are a property of software rasterisation in this container. Five to seven full-screen quads at 720p is nothing to a GPU. Unless the human ran the port software-rendered, this is not what they saw, and EVERY candidate for finding 4 is now dead or near-dead. Written as a dead end rather than left standing as a lead. Leaving a plausible-sounding cause up after its own control has undercut it is exactly how "close but not right" got explained four different wrong ways. The one thing that would revive it costs the human nothing: the rate line prints on every boot now, so their next run answers it. What the port does NOT need, established rather than assumed: no draw-path optimisation (161.6 fps empty, screens on the fill curve where their quad counts put them), no texture caching (already at load_screen), no max_fps or vsync change (would not raise the rate here, and is a presentation decision not a defect). Not settled: what rate the human's machine manages -- now the only open half of a candidate I have otherwise talked myself out of; H6's +0x04 exposure; H1 (with the Decoder); the four red verify-screen rows.

port: the port never reported its own frame rate, and the menu draws at 9.7 fps
TEMPORAL-VERIFICATION §1 requires every instrument to state its achieved rate against its requested one. That has been applied to --film (which I fixed for exactly this), to the Decoder's harnesses and to the oracle. It had never once been applied to the thing being shipped. The port had no idea what rate it drew at and no way to say. It matters now because the splashes are the focus and the open complaint is that ours is LESS PRONOUNCED than the game's. A fade drawn in 45 frames and the same fade drawn in 12 are different animations, and nothing here could tell them apart. boot.gd now counts frames per screen and reports at every boot transition, at the end of the boot, and at every menu arrival. `worst gap` sits beside the mean because a hitch is what reads as wrong and a mean hides one by construction. Measured in this container, three boots: publisher_logo 17.3 / 19.6 / 25.0 fps worst gap 100-115 ms developer_logos 16.7 / 21.9 / 22.8 fps worst gap 103-138 ms title 17.2 / 14.2 / 12.7 fps worst gap 150 ms, all three main_menu 9.7 fps worst gap 150 ms 🟡 A LIVE CANDIDATE FOR PLAY-TEST FINDING 4, and the first one that is not dead. The timeline is delta-driven so durations stay correct at any rate; what changes is how many alphas the fade is DRAWN at. At the measured rates the 45-unit build-in gets 12-17 distinct alphas instead of 45, and the pre-blurred companion glow -- the thing that IS the splash's blur -- rises over 15 units and is drawn at FOUR TO SIX steps instead of fifteen. ⚠️ It is a candidate, not a cause: this is llvmpipe under Xvfb and not the human's hardware. The point is that the line now prints on every boot, so the next play-test answers it for free. Every other candidate for finding 4 is already dead -- keyframes vindicated against the vertex stream, companion quads drawn, blend space matching, settled pose at 0.01 % against the capture, no post-process pass to add. ✅ And nothing published is invalidated, which was worth checking rather than assuming: every timing result here comes from `_elapsed` (+= delta) or `time_units` (the same sum scaled), so all are correct at any frame rate. The splash dwells were measured across runs whose rates differed by 2x and agreed to ±0.03 s. Had the timeline been frame-counted, every number in this corpus would have been wrong by a factor that changed between runs -- which is precisely the failure the Decoder found in the emulator's rate and withdrew a finding over. Two defects in the instrument itself, both caught and fixed before it was trusted: - its first version printed "-9223372036854775808 requested". DisplayServer.screen_get_refresh_rate() returns a FLOAT and is -1.0 when the display cannot say, which Xvfb cannot, and %d underflows to INT64_MIN. It now names the cap or says `uncapped`. - it was BOOT-ONLY and said so nowhere -- `--menu` arrives through _menu_arrive, not _advance, so the mode a human spends time in reported nothing. That is the shape this port keeps finding in other people's work, and it lasted one measurement here. Refutation attempt: I checked whether the port re-decodes PNGs per frame, which would have been a real defect. It does not -- _load_textures caches at load_screen. Hypothesis dead, cheaply, and recorded. Not settled: what rate the human's machine manages; whether 9.7 fps on the menu is llvmpipe or something in our draw path; H6's +0x04 exposure; H1 (the Decoder is taking it this iteration).

port: refuse the splash rate -- a 160-unit hold cannot outlast the 210-unit group containing it
The Decoder proposes a per-screen rate: ~57 units/s for the title, ~35-40 for the splashes, on the ground that a splash at 60 runs 1.5-1.7x too fast. That would be a timeline cause for the human's finding 4, so it matters. THE PORT DID NOT MOVE, and this is why. The 160-unit hold is identifiable: exactly one interval in either splash is 160 units, the DEVELOPER splash's a=255 plateau at t=30..190, inside its declared group t=0..210. So: the 160-unit hold measured 4.514 guest s (1 run) -> 35.4 units/s the 210-unit group AROUND IT measured 3.37/3.50/3.51 s (3 cold boots) -> 60.7 A sub-interval cannot outlast the interval containing it. That is not two methods disagreeing about a rate, it is arithmetic, and one of the two is wrong. Both dwell measurements corroborate ~60 on exactly the two screens now put at 35-39: publisher 255 units in 4.30/4.60/4.37 = 57.7, developer 210 units in 3.37/3.50/3.51 = 60.7, the developer agreeing with its declared value to 1.1 % and two of its runs to 0.3 %. At 35.4 the declared groups would run 5.93 s and 7.20 s -- each splash ~70 % longer than three cold boots measured it. The one escape route is named rather than dismissed: the new figure is in GUEST seconds and the corpus in wall-clock. The known gap between those is Canary at ~28.1 fps against 30, which is 6 % and the wrong direction to close 1.7x. It is their instrument and their clock, so it is asked (H7), not ruled out. ⚠️ The STRUCTURAL claim may still be right -- one rate covering every screen is what is under challenge, and the title's 56.8 does sit ~5 % off the splashes' 58-61. If a per-screen rate is real the port wants the MECHANISM, a field or a GamePart constant, not two authored numbers. That is their next item. Recorded in authored/timing.json so the next iteration does not quietly adopt it, with an explicit instruction not to split the difference: averaging two measurements that cannot both be true is not a third measurement. Also this iteration: H6 -- answered in principle, blocked in practice. They are right that the blend is a decoded disc field (T8aD +0x04 bit 0x02) and that deriving beats transcribing, which would delete an authored entry. But sylpheed-formats does not EXPOSE +0x04 -- Element surfaces kind (+40), parent (+32), pivot, keyframes, focus_link -- and sylpheed-export consumes formats by git TAG, not workspace path, so I cannot reach the parser. Asked: surface the word and tag it. 🔴 And a negative worth having, since it is the obvious thing to try: kind_raw in this export is NOT that field. Its bit 0x2 against the additive map over four screens is ANTI-correlated -- 0 of 14 mapped elements have it set and 9 unmapped ones do. Anyone reaching for `kind_raw & 2` gets the additive set exactly inverted. H5 -- closed. My shared-element hypothesis is refuted: build_12 and build_15 have identical declaration bodies, so identical statistics are one fact. The pgloading_loop5 localisation stands and is the better answer. ✅ And the good news, recorded where the splash work lives: "the declared keyframe timeline reproduces the captured splash" settles in favour of the timeline -- 50 captured alphas, worst error one level in 255, no renderer in the chain. The port's splash keyframes were never the defect. Which leaves the RATE as the remaining candidate for what the human saw, and the rate is what this commit declines to change. Not settled: which of the two splash measurements survives; where a per-screen rate would come from; the +0x04 exposure; H1 (key repeat).

port: H5 localises to one element, and the rotation rule that explained 14 of 16 is refuted
check-all's four remaining red rows. What I established, and two hypotheses that died on the way -- the second is the one worth reading. ✅ build_12 / build_15 are ONE ELEMENT. All 951 differing pixels lie inside pgloading_loop5 (pgloading_ring.png, 333x276 at [1,444]) and the diff's own bbox x 69..301 y 478..710 sits entirely within it. That also answers, with no rule at all, why build_00 and build_01 AGREE: the port's own draw log says they draw 7 elements to build_12's 10, and pgloading_loop5 is one of the three they never draw. The loading screens that agree are the ones that never draw the element the disagreement is in. 🔴 REFUTED, and it looked strong. ui_layout.rs:86 states in its own words that "rotation_deg is decoded but NOT rendered", and the port does render it. A census over all sixteen exported screens gave: every screen with a non-zero rest rotation DIFFERS, every screen without agrees -- 6 of 6 both ways, including both legacy rows. Widening it to any rotating element (rest rotation OR a two-keyframe 360 spinner at any depth) breaks it: build_00 and build_01 carry two spinners each, the port draws both, and they agree with the reference. A rule that holds on 14 of 16 and fails on the two cases nobody had looked at is a rule fitted to the rows it was built from. Recorded rather than deleted, because the ui_layout.rs:86 comment is exactly what the next reader will find. 🟡 main_menu_jp / extras_jp carry the same sweep leaves -- ptloop01/pteff03 at rot 30, ptloop02/pteff03a at rot -45 -- whose phase residual is the reason already named for `title`, and their means (0.79, 0.66) sit with title's 0.44 rather than their EN twins' 3.94 and 6.74. Consistent with, not established: nobody has isolated those leaves on those screens. 🔴 And an asymmetry this exposed, now DECLARED rather than left silent. main_menu_jp contains exactly the six elements main_menu marks additive, and extras_jp all nine of extras'. The map is keyed by screen name and the Decoder's RB_BLENDCONTROL0 log was taken on the ENGLISH screens, so the port draws them additive on EN and alpha-over on JP -- asserting by omission that the JP build blends differently, which is the LESS likely possibility. Both options assert something unmeasured; only one of them was visible. The map is NOT extended (that would extrapolate a measurement onto a build nobody drove to) and the claim is instead written into authored/rendering.json's additive_elements_why, plus a low-priority ask H6 that says out loud it may not be worth a boot -- MISSION §7 puts JP out of scope and it costs two rows. check-all stays red on the same four. Nothing was excused. Not settled: why the two renderers disagree on pgloading_loop5 specifically; the JP blend question; H1 (key repeat); whether the splashes tick at the title's rate.

port: H3 closes with every named cause dead, and the verify-screen rows are ADDITIVE, not gamma
Three answers landed from the Decoder in one iteration and two of them refuted
things -- one theirs, one mine.
H3 -- CLOSED, and deliberately not closed green. The rate is measured at 56.8
units per guest second (control 1.15 %, two elements agreeing at one clock).
30 and 120 are both excluded. At 56.8 the plate's t=236 lands at 4.15 s against
this port's 3.93 s, so the port is fractionally EARLY. With rest.t, the clock
origin and the anchor already eliminated, ALL FOUR named causes are now dead and
the human's observation is unattributed. Written down that way rather than
letting H3 go quiet: the strongest remaining candidate is that A was unbound on
the play-test build, so that human could not skip the 137 s intro, and the run
they judged is not the run any of these measurements describes.
`units = 2 x frames` is dead as a route -- the same animation takes 21 labels in
one capture and 33 in another. Audited: this port never used it. boot.gd
integrates `delta * units_per_second`, so the retirement cost authored/timing.json
a JUSTIFICATION and not a behaviour, and I have recorded which leg died and
which survived. The surviving leg has no frames in the chain: 12 declared units
against a 0.14-0.30 s measured black plateau = 40-86 units/s, which excludes 120
on its own. 60 is KEPT -- 56.8 is 5.6 % away against ~5 % quantisation.
H4 -- ANSWERED, and MY PREMISE WAS WRONG. I reported the verify-screen rows as a
blend-SPACE divergence. The transfer curve I built for that was a mean per
reference-value bucket over a BIMODAL population -- 53 % of pixels within 1 level
and 16 844 differing by 40+ -- and the gamma shape was an artefact of the
binning. A mean over a mixed population is not a transfer function.
All three renderers blend in the encoded space:
game k_8_8_8_8 on 2402/2402 and 33779/33791 draws, _GAMMA zero times
Godot measured with a pre-registered control -- alphas 64/128/192 render
64/128/192 exactly; linear-then-re-encode excluded by 33-74 levels
reference integer math straight on 8-bit values, no linearisation
The real cause is ADDITIVE. The port draws 5 elements additive on main_menu and
9 on extras, transcribed from the Decoder's per-draw RB_BLENDCONTROL0 log off the
running game; ui_layout.rs has exactly two blend sites, both alpha-over, and line
1169 records that it tried additive and refuted it from its own composite
metrics. The two renderers disagree on purpose, and the disagreement tracks the
set size: 9 -> 6.74, 5 -> 3.94, 0 -> ~0.7. That ordering was not fitted; the
additive map predates this comparison.
check-all: the allowance is now DERIVED from authored/rendering.json's additive
set plus the two legacy rows, instead of a literal list. A screen is excused
BECAUSE it has additive elements the reference cannot draw; one that differs
without them still fails, which a list could not express. Verified against the
last run's set: main_menu and extras pass, main_menu_jp, extras_jp, build_12 and
build_15 still FAIL. check-all stays red on those four and they are H5 -- not
diagnosed, not excused. build_12 and build_15 report byte-identical statistics,
which points at one shared element rather than two coincidences.
Refutation attempts: the hit this iteration is against my own page again -- the
blend-space diagnosis, killed by a control I ran on my own renderer. The
Decoder's encoded-space finding and their 56.8 both survived the only checks I
could make: my control reproduces their space independently, and their rate is
consistent with authored/timing.json's frame-free leg.
Not settled: H5's four rows; whether the splashes tick at the title's rate (they
are a different GamePart); H1 (key repeat); what the human actually saw.

port: the plate's lateness is the unit, not our clock -- and the splash blur is an asset we already draw
H3, the PRESS (A) plate. Established which half it is, as the brief asked, and
the answer moved once during the iteration -- both readings are recorded because
the first one was confident and wrong.
Eliminated, ours:
rest.t not in the causal path. The plate's ARRIVAL is a declared keyframe
(transparent to t=214, opaque at t=236); rest.t=236 only picks
where `holding` parks it, and 236 is that ramp's own peak.
clock origin the two builds share one clock exactly -- 85 of 85 filmed title
frames have view_units == overlay_units to 3 dp.
NOT eliminated, the Decoder's: the unit->seconds constant. I first ruled it out
"by sign" using the emulator's 28.1 fps presentation rate. That conflates a
wall-clock conversion with units-per-game-frame; the correction is written down
rather than edited away. The Decoder's splash draw capture (

port: Ⓐ was never bound to the pad, and the stick is not an edge
Both found by a human playing the port on a real controller. Both were
invisible to every check this port has, for one reason:
`--script` sends InputEventAction, which BYPASSES the input map.
So the harness asserted every line of code AFTER the map and nothing about the
map itself. Measured on this Godot, not remembered -- the remembered answer was
wrong:
ui_accept key:Enter, key:Kp Enter, key:Space <- no joypad at all
ui_cancel key:Escape <- no joypad at all
ui_up key:Up, JOYBTN:11, JOYAXIS:1- <- d-pad AND left stick
ui_down key:Down, JOYBTN:12, JOYAXIS:1+
Four actions worked on the pad and two did not, which presents as a broken
controller: navigation moved, Ⓐ skipped nothing and opened nothing. Godot
4.7.2 binds no joypad button to ui_accept or ui_cancel.
Gamepad.bind_missing() ADDS the two buttons to the built-in actions rather than
redefining them in project.godot, which would replace the built-ins wholesale
and drop the keyboard bindings silently.
Second defect, same blind spot: an InputEventAction is not an analog axis. The
left stick is bound to axis 1, and an axis is not an edge -- held at deflection
it emits an event per jitter, each reporting the action pressed. That was one
cursor step per jitter ("moves the cursor too fast"). The stick is now latched
to one step per deflection, with hysteresis so a stick resting near the
threshold does not chatter.
AUTHORED, and deliberately the conservative half: whether the game REPEATS a
held direction, and how fast, is an oracle question. One deflection one step
cannot run away and invents no rate. Logged as BLOCKED H1.
tools/port/verify-input asserts the map and the latch, with a control that
removes each check's OWN subject -- its first version inverted all nine
assertions when only two depended on the fixup, and reported seven correct
checks as broken. Three rows say plainly they are not controllable (they assert
Godot's own bindings) and one is a negative carrying a positive control (R4),
rather than faking an inversion for either.
Also logged BLOCKED H2, unguessed: the splash blur/fade-in is more pronounced
in the game than in the port. The port applies no blur at all. Noted there that
the two splashes are the only screens reaching the rest() plateau-less
fallback, which the R1 pass just re-opened in both directions.

port: the plate's ramp was already in my export, and the renderer reproduces it
The Decoder is paused and could not take the capture I asked for, and said the disc half might not need them. It did not, and it did not need a new decode either: the ramp is already in export/screens/title/press_start.json. ptbtn00f carries eight keyframes on a 120-unit loop, alpha in the high byte of fade_argb, 0 -> 80 -> 0 with the peak held across t=35..50. Two things follow with no oracle. The blind phase is confirmed from the disc rather than inferred from rendering: alpha is exactly 0 at phase 0. And the renderer applies the ramp faithfully -- rendered contribution against declared alpha across six phases gives r = +0.9982, slope 0.4036 levels per alpha unit. So when and how strongly the port draws the highlight is verified. Only the composite is open, and the existing capture cannot settle it under either reading of the clock: posed at t=237 the phase is 117 where alpha is about 0, and the harness independently pins loop-phase 0 where alpha is exactly 0. Both agree, which is worth stating because I did not have to assume which clock the record runs on. The ask therefore narrows from "a mid-pulse instant" to a named window: one capture anywhere in t mod 120 in [35, 50], where alpha holds at its peak of 80. |

port: draw the plate's highlight additive, and find my harness poses it where it cannot be seen
blend-bit-vs-oracle.txt entry 2: ptbtn00 alpha-over, ptbtn00f ADDITIVE -- the PRESS (A) plate and its own highlight, one bit apart. Entry 4, the whole title, is alpha-over throughout including ptlogo_back2/ptlogo_back2eff, which independently kills the "frame-shaped and mostly transparent means additive" rule I declined to adopt. Bands are now per DRAW OP rather than per paint-order entry: one band per element cannot express base alpha-over with its own focus record additive. The change reported zero three times and each zero had a different cause. First, additive_elements was assigned to `view` in three places and to `overlay` in none, and the plate is an overlay -- every other decoded rule on that page goes to both. Second, I then measured that the element is never drawn, suppressing its sprite at six times across the cycle for 0 px every time, and was one commit from filing "the port never draws the plate highlight" as a defect. That sweep was invalid: I varied --time while passing --loop-phase=0 in every run, and --loop-phase pins exactly the clock a looping record runs on. Six samples of one phase. Third, swept properly, ptbtn00f contributes 0 px at phase 0 and 22-29k px at phases 20-100 -- and verify-capture's title_plate row poses at loop-phase 0. The row that validates the plate is blind to the plate's pulse by construction. It correctly reports 13.03 / 0.09 % unchanged while the fix moves 26 319 px at phase 20. Stated in the tool next to the pose. Not verified against the oracle: every title-plate capture we hold is at the blind phase, so no capture here can confirm the port now draws it right. Asked. |

retro: the agreed result, plus the cue-suppression matrix it came out of
Agreed retro with the Decoder at docs/agents/RETRO-2026-08-31-agreed.md; their own review is at docs/agents/RETRO-2026-08-31.md on auto/frame-blend-draw-path. Twelve rules, of which the ones neither of us had: a refutation whose instrument is one of our renderers is not a refutation but "our renderer disagrees" (this cost weeks, both ways); a negative must carry a positive control, which no "undecodable with reach" page either of us has written ever did; and a disagreement is evidence about the chain disc -> decode -> render -> capture, not about the link being looked at. The gap underneath our controls, stated: they verified capability, not configuration. My additive material passed every control because they tested whether the method detects a blend difference, not whether this run had blend_mode set -- it was Godot's default MIX. Their vertex dump passed every control because they tested the NDC conversion, not whether it captured all six quads. Nothing applied to PROTOCOL.md. The register re-classification changes the file both agents read to decide what not to try, and two agents agreeing is not the right authority for that. Also committing the work that was pending when the stop came: verify-menu-audio now settles cue presence by suppression -- silence one cue's .ogg, re-record the same walk, and require its own correlation to collapse. All three cues sound (+0.158 / +0.637 / +0.526). The bed-only margin no longer renders a verdict: it called `move` NOT FOUND on three runs at 0.109-0.131 while the cue was demonstrably sounding, and across runs the same cue reads 0.131 and 0.158, so the threshold was never a property of the cue. The off-diagonal is reported as masking rather than asserted: silencing confirm raises back by 0.468 because the game plays them 90 ms apart under a 0.15 s template. An assertion there would fail forever on correct audio. |

port: take the completed EXTRAS blend set, and record two refutations that land on me
EXTRAS whole-screen residual 1.97 -> 0.63; ptframe4 31.90 -> 1.14, pteff21/22/23 from 12-14 to under 0.8. The four elements I reported as in no draw were in a draw all along -- the vertex dump was capped at two quads and the batch holds six, so four were dropped with a well-formed line and no ellipsis. Same failure class as my MIX-default material: the run completed, the output parsed, the answer was wrong. Their pteff10 flag, tested by holding it alpha-over with everything else additive: tone-corrected residual 0.630 additive against 1.704 alpha-over, but raw RMSE 12.91 against 9.98. They disagree because the port already renders +8.50 levels brighter than the capture on this screen before any of this, so raw RMSE punishes added light whether or not the light is right. Adopted on the measurement plus the structural metric; extras raw-rmse went 11.43 -> 12.88 and that is stated, not hidden. The differing region halved, 0.07 % -> 0.03 %. Refuted, mine: "every decoration 0x0 and every button 0x3002" was a two-screen generalisation I called a confirmation, one message after objecting to exactly that move in their page. My own export held the counter-examples -- ptbtn00 is 0x73002 and my exporter calls it unknown rather than button; three title elements are 0x3000, button-shaped and not focusable. kind & 0x2 is the focusable flag. Refuted, mine: the sweeps DO run on the main menu. Their log retains NDC and both strips overlap the screen in every captured frame, stepping in opposite directions with vertex alpha ramping. My phase sweep measured that the PORT'S sweeps make the match worse, which is a statement about my rendering, not about the game. A best-match argument for an absence cannot separate "not there" from "there and drawn wrong", and I had that caveat written down and read past it. Not flipped: the strips are additive with a ramping vertex alpha and the port has neither on the leaf path, so enabling the loop today would be more correct in behaviour and worse on screen. The ramp is asked for. What changed today is the claim -- the port is wrong here and now says so. |

port: free the canvas items I leaked, and refute the blend measurement's reach sentence
The RenderingServer rewrite leaked 5 CanvasItem RIDs per run -- exactly the number of paint-order runs on the main menu. Items created through the server are not owned by the node; a child Node2D would have been collected for me, and the reason for not using one is the reason this had to be paid for. Freed in _exit_tree. Nothing failed. verify-capture was green on every screen and the pictures were right; the leak line sat next to "N ObjectDB instances were leaked at exit", which BLOCKED.md records as engine-side and not ours after releasing every reference the port owns moved the count not at all. A new leak line beside a known-benign one is close to perfect camouflage. What distinguished it was the number: 5 is a count of my bands. Refutation, and it lands. ui-blend-mode-measured.md closes "every element on the two screens the port ships is in the table except the two above and pteff10". Checked against my export, counting the summary table's prose rows as coverage: exactly right for main_menu, and on EXTRAS it misses four -- ptframe4, pteff21, pteff22, pteff23. Five, not one. They are not an arbitrary four. They are precisely the elements the port now measures as the worst on that screen, ptframe4 at 16.19x the frame mean. Every measured row still stands and the port has transcribed all of them; what is wrong is the reach, and it is the difference between "one loose end" and the open ask in BLOCKED.md, which now says so. Secondary, offered as such: "every button" in the summary row is a class generalisation in a document that warns its reader to take the table as per-element facts. No button appears in the EXTRAS draw log at all. Very likely right, nothing of mine depends on it. |

port: draw the measured additive blend -- main_menu 13.21 -> 10.67
The Decoder logged RB_BLENDCONTROL0 per draw in Canary on both screens. 0x01010101 is src=ONE dst=ONE, additive. That makes the blend a transcription rather than my proposal, and they withdrew the "any blend you choose is authored" instruction explicitly. Their control is what licenses the change: one pixel shader, 0xE59B2B3DA4AA9008, runs with BOTH blend states on the main menu -- 12 additive draws and 18 alpha-over. The frames and ptbase share a shader; only the blend register differs. authored/rendering.json gains additive_elements per screen. Every id is a measured draw and the reach is written beside it. verify-capture: main_menu 13.21 -> 10.67 (0.06 % -> 0.02 %), extras 13.38 -> 11.43, main menu with ptbtn04 focused 13.82 -> 11.36. Per element, ptframe1 22.72 -> 4.17 and ptframe2 13.09 -> 3.32. Neutrality control, free with the table: publisher_logo 2.17 and developer_logos 3.05 are unchanged to the digit. Those are the screens whose metric is absolute and they carry no additive element, so the rewrite that routed every draw through RenderingServer canvas items did not change the picture. The improvement is the blend, not the plumbing. RenderingServer rather than child Node2Ds because boot.gd calls view.queue_redraw() from nine places and none reaches a child node -- bands would paint the previous pose, which under --script=wait is a plausible wrong capture rather than an error. Runs are recomputed per frame: the additive elements are consecutive on both measured screens, and that is an accident of those two screens. And the change first ran with the material left at its default MIX, moving ptframe1 from 22.72 to 22.69. Nothing errored and a 0.03 move is a plausible negative result. It was caught only because the measurement predicted a large move. Not done: ptframe4 is now the worst element on EXTRAS at 16.19x the frame mean and additive would plainly help it. It is not in the measured table, so it is not in the file. Filed in BLOCKED.md with pteff21/22/23, which are also in no captured draw. Refuted, mine: "neither frame has a fully-opaque pixel" was true and was not the discriminator -- pteff10 has max alpha 130, no opaque pixel, and measures nearly exact. The direction survived; the reason for it did not. |

port: generalise the frame finding, refute my own premultiplied-alpha hypothesis
tools/port/element-residual turns last iteration's one-off suppression into a tool: pose a screen as verify-capture does, shadow each sprite with a transparent PNG, rank elements by residual on the pixels they actually paint. Two controls, both mandatory -- the metric's zero on identity, and a mod that shadows nothing must move zero pixels, or a footprint is the harness rather than the element. It generalises. Frames rank 1 and 2 on both screens with captures: ptframe1 9.47x and ptframe2 5.46x on main_menu, ptframe3 14.23x and ptframe4 10.46x on extras, all four body-dominated and all four negative. The sign splits, so it is not global darkness: ptmsg +5.02, ptmsg2 +8.83, pttitle +7.88 and every button positive. Refuted my own next hypothesis. Premultiplied alpha decoded as straight alpha predicts error proportional to partial-alpha fraction; the frames are 6.7-7.3 % partial and the most darkened, while pteff10 is 100 % partial and nearly exact. What the frames are: neither has a single fully-opaque pixel, against ptbase's 99.1 %. For a wholly semi-transparent overlay the blend equation decides the result, and alpha-over's shortfall against a background-scaling blend is a*bg. So the shortfall should track the BACKGROUND, not the frame's own contribution. Measured on render, frame-suppressed render and capture, needing no placement: ptframe1 +0.772 vs +0.244, ptframe3 +0.797 vs +0.237. Not adopting anything. The Decoder has established no blend mode is on the disc for .t32 and both frames are kind 0, declared identically to elements drawn almost exactly right, so any blend I pick is authored and that is not mine to take alone. Recorded as an extension of their negative, not a challenge: the behaviour is real and replicated, so if nothing in the data selects it, something in the code does -- the draw path they named as untaken. BLOCKED.md updated: the ask is answered, as a negative. |

port: localise the menu residual to two frame elements by suppression, and refute my own hypothesis
The Decoder named the elements under my hot tiles and had to test both coordinate
readings, because design space and the comparison frame differ by the capture
transform. I did not need the transform: the port has a mod tree, so shadowing a
sprite with a transparent PNG and diffing my own two renders measures the
element's footprint directly, in the comparison frame, assuming no convention.
Ranked by residual density on each element's own visible pixels: ptframe1 22.72
(9.47x the frame mean), ptframe2 13.09, ptmsg 8.46, pteff12 4.98, ptbase 3.34.
That refutes the hypothesis I came in with. I predicted the EFFECT element, since
blend mode is recorded as undecoded in screen.rs and a miscomposited effect would
be tonal and displace nothing. It is the frames; pteff12's ratio is largely
inherited from containing ptframe1. The mechanism may still be right, the element
was wrong, and only ranking rather than confirming showed it.
And it is not an edge effect: ptframe1 and ptframe2 are the only elements whose
residual is higher on FLAT pixels (25.41, 16.54) than on edges (19.85, 9.82).
Signed, ptframe1 renders 88.4 against the capture's 129.1 with 0.1 % of pixels
render-brighter. Body intensity, one direction, after a global tone LUT.

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.

port: the shared-state problem is two gaps, and only one needs a human
The Decoder's correction reframes something I had been filing wrongly for a week. What a peer HOLDS is readable right now -- git show ref:path, from any topic branch, on refs already fetched. What a peer must be TOLD still needs a human merge to main. I had been treating both as blocked on the merge; half never was. The symmetry is exact and unflattering to both of us. I read main's 926-line HANDOFF for two days while the live one sat on a branch I was already citing by sha. They read this port's BLOCKED.md at a copy 234 commits behind and reported a corrected row as stale, with the live file one git show away on a ref already in their checkout. Same gap, opposite directions, one command in both. Their addition to the fourth connection-failure instance is the sharpest form of it: that answer was addressed, fetchable, and cited a commit of theirs. Three affordances and neither of us used them. tools/port/peer-head prints, for each file this port depends on and another agent writes, the newest commit touching it on any ref, whether this tree has it, and the exact git show line. Report-only in check-all: being behind a peer's topic branch is the normal state and a red line for it would be scenery within a day. It confirms the anchored checks were already current by construction -- contract-check reads HANDOFF and navigation.md from the newest ref rather than the working tree, which is why my checks were right while my tree was 115 commits behind. It caught a defect in itself on the first run. PROTOCOL.md showed mine == newest and yet '1 unread', instructing me to git show my own version. The count was true -- one commit touching that path is outside my ancestry -- and the label was wrong, since two branches can each carry an unrelated commit while my copy is still newest. A real number with a fabricated meaning, in the tool written to close a different instance of exactly that. Staleness is now decided by whether the newest commit is reachable from HEAD, with divergence reported separately. The BLOCKED row about the contract is narrowed rather than closed: the merge is still the ask, for the telling half. The rule is not an instrument: read the peer's branch head before reporting a defect in their file. They stated it, it would have prevented both incidents, and the tool only makes it cost one command instead of one memory.

port: every one of my checkers passed on an empty input
The Decoder generalised my empty-band case into the rule I now keep: a control that only compares two things cannot tell you the comparison is happening. An empty band list, a blank frame, an empty register -- each makes a checker agreeable rather than wrong, and agreeable is indistinguishable from correct in a log. Swept my tools against inputs containing nothing. audit-kinds exited 0 on a tree with no authored/*.json, having printed '0 kind label(s)' and reported clean. verify-transcode-fidelity would call every transcode faithful with no videos in the manifest, having compared none. check-claims exited 1 from a FileNotFoundError inside the withdrawal hook -- which in that script's own vocabulary means 'a refuted claim is still being asserted', so a wrong directory got diagnosed as a dirty corpus. A real failure with a fabricated reason, the third instance of that family after my control anchoring at the wrong document. All three now exit 2, check-claims via a preflight that names the roots it needs. Both self-tests gained the liveness case driven as subprocesses: audit-kinds --selftest runs itself in an empty directory and requires 2, and check-claims --control is now six cases -- clean 0, unmarked 1, marked 0, outside-root 0, empty register 2, nothing to scan 2. What makes this worth an iteration rather than tidying: none of these tools was ever wrong on real input. What none of them could do was tell 'I checked and it was fine' from 'I checked nothing', and every green line I have quoted was the first of those only because the directory happened to be right. Also recorded: their ring_row.py used 'main_menu_item(ring_row(f)) is not None' as a main-menu test, and a TITLE frame passes it -- the gutter carries a bright cluster at y=243 inside tolerance of row 0. No result they sent me is affected, for a structural reason rather than a lucky one: (B) from a submenu goes to the menu, never the title, so the weak test was never shown the frame that breaks it. I have not re-derived their focus results and am not treating this as a reason to; what I have is their statement of the exposure and the structural argument, recorded as that rather than as verification. Every asserting check passes, 14 of them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: close the last control harness, and two authored values checked against bytes
verify-transcode-fidelity --selftest closes my list. It had three controls running every time -- identity, a 4-pole top-end loss, an unrelated movie -- and none asked whether the measurement itself was live. With an empty band list every comparison reads 0.0 dB: identity passes, the real pair passes, and only the unrelated-movie control fails, reporting exit 1 for a broken instrument. Same shape as the empty register in check-claims, same fix: exit 2. The self-test drives the script as a subprocess over a short window -- normal 0, bands emptied 2. All four tools now assert their own harnesses. Top-item sweep from the DIFFICULTY finding: one site, MenuFlow.initial_focus's buttons[0], already documented as a repair. Every other [0] in the tree is unrelated indexing. Nothing to fix, recorded so the sweep is known to have run. The reset question is settled and it went the way that makes the restraint correct: a submenu resets to its OWN OPENING ITEM, a per-screen default that need not be the first. DIFFICULTY opens on NORMAL, second of four, and returns to NORMAL after a confirmed DOWN and a round trip. So ptbtn11 is right for a reason rather than by coincidence, and buttons[0]-is-a-repair is measured rather than principled. contract-check gains check_reset_target, whose teeth the code bounds honestly: on EXTRAS the named item happens to be first, so agreement is not evidence -- what it guards is a future refactor silently substituting an index. Their refutation attempt on extras/initial_focus was made against the disc rather than against their agreement, and it survives: ptbtn11 y282 against 362 and 442. Re-checked from this port's own export, a different reader of the same disc, and the numbers are identical -- extras 282/362/442, main menu 162/242/322/401/482. Which also confirms EXTRAS could never have separated named-item from top-item. Menu focus does not survive a reboot: six fresh boots opened on NEW GAME, three of them following sessions that ended on EXTRAS or OPTIONS. So the authored value is a fresh-start value. The reach is carried verbatim into the why -- every session ended with the emulator KILLED, so this measures 'does not survive a killed session', and a console that remembers across a clean power cycle would not contradict it. Still open and not leaned on: whether the reset target moves once a difficulty has been confirmed; the same SELECT DATA crash prevents testing it.

port: assert the scan boundary I had hand-verified, and give audit-kinds a self-test
check-claims --control plants a revival in docs/port/ and requires exit 1. That the plant lands INSIDE a scanned directory was a property I checked manually, one time, and wrote up -- the exact pattern I had criticised in this same tool one iteration earlier. A fifth case now plants the identical text OUTSIDE the scanned root and requires 0, so the pair asserts the boundary is real: same text, 1 inside and 0 outside. Either half alone is consistent with the tool scanning everything, or nothing. Five cases: clean 0, unmarked 1, marked 0, outside-root 0, empty register 2. audit-kinds has always reported what it found and was never asked whether it can find anything, while its clean runs are cited as evidence that fifteen labels are grounded. --selftest pushes three synthetic rows through the real classifier and reads its verdict: citing nothing must read BARE, a real path ok, a missing path DANGLING. Verified two-directionally -- an extractor stubbed to accept everything returns exit 2. Asserting in check-all. All four submenus are now measured to reset -- LOAD GAME, TUTORIAL and OPTIONS joining EXTRAS -- and the main menu remains the only screen that remembers. Three of the four are not in this export, so no authored value changes. NOT promoted to a rule, deliberately. 'Submenus reset' at 4/4 is better evidence than the 2/2 that made wrap a menu-wide rule, and adopting it would change nothing today because the only submenu this port ships is already measured. What it would do is pre-decide the next screen from a generalisation instead of a measurement -- the trap that nearly let a derived rule overwrite EXTRAS' measured opening item. The guard prints the 4/4 finding beside its per-screen values so the evidence is visible without being load-bearing. MISSION-SELECT-versus-top-item stays open: none of the three separates it, each opens on its own first item, and NEW GAME is untested. Remaining without a harness self-test: verify-transcode-fidelity. Every asserting check passes, 13 of them.

port: the register check had no executable control, and an empty register passed forever
check-claims guards the refuted register, the thing both agents lean on when they say a dead claim is not being re-asserted, and it had no control machinery at all. Every 'planted a revival, it failed, removed it, it passed' in DECISIONS was done by hand, once, and never again -- in a repository where two of my own tools carry the line 'a control that does not execute is not a control'. I wrote that about somebody else's tool. The hole the Decoder found in their equivalent was here too. The scan loop runs once per register row; with no rows it runs zero times, fail stays 0, and the script printed 'every refuted claim appears only inside its correction' and exited 0. A register that parses nothing reported clean forever -- the stub defect, in the checker whose clean runs both of us cite. It now exits 2 with 'the harness is broken, not the corpus'. --control executes four cases, each driving this script as a subprocess and reading its real exit code: clean 0, unmarked revival 1, marked revival 0 with no false positive, empty register 2. Asserting in check-all. Two things taken from their build of the same thing rather than invented: the self-test drives the real machinery and reads its actual exit code -- my first --selftest reasoned about what the harness would do, which is the cheaper mistake and the one I made -- and the three-way exit convention, which is what lets 'the corpus is dirty' and 'the checker is broken' be different answers instead of both being nonzero. The plant lands in a real scanned directory, because a control that runs somewhere the tool does not look proves nothing about the tool. Verified two-directionally: pointing the plant at an unscanned path makes the control report itself broken. Still without harness self-tests and filed rather than left looking finished: audit-kinds and verify-transcode-fidelity. Every asserting check passes.

port: the control harness now asserts itself, and it caught me twice doing it
The gap I named and the Decoder prioritised: every --control run asserts that each check fails on a perturbed contract, and none asserted that a broken control reports broken. That is printing a verdict without asserting it, one level up. A harness that silently approves a dead check is exactly as useless as a check that silently approves a dead value. contract-check --selftest feeds the machinery a stub that cannot fail -- a function that prints 'everything is fine' and asserts nothing, which is precisely the defect I shipped in verify-transcode-fidelity's unconditional return 0 -- and requires the machinery to flag it. Exit codes follow the Decoder's convention: 0 all good, 1 a real check failed, 2 the HARNESS is broken and nothing it reported can be trusted. Asserting in check-all. It caught two defects while being written. The first version checked that the stub left the failure counter at zero and then REASONED that control() would therefore flag it -- arguing where a measurement was available, the error this whole thread has been about, committed inside the tool built to prevent it. Rewritten to push the stub through the real control() loop and read its verdict. It then returned 2 immediately: the stub was flagged, but as 'the control's own anchor is gone' rather than as a dead check, because the src selection anchored anything not in one specific list at the walk document instead of HANDOFF. A real failure for a fabricated reason, which is the confusion ANCHOR SPLIT exists to separate. Not covered and filed rather than left looking finished: check-claims, audit-kinds and verify-transcode-fidelity have controls and no harness self-test. The shape is known and the fix is cheap. Every asserting check passes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: retract the S00A coverage hole -- it was my control's filter, not the check
Yesterday I reported that a 6 kHz-lowpassed S00A deviated only 1.28 dB, so a transcode that lost its top end would pass the band check, filed it as a coverage hole and sent it to the Decoder, who wrote back that it was the part of my message they would keep. It is wrong. lowpass=f=6000 is SINGLE-POLE, 6 dB/octave -- a mild tilt that leaves most of the octave above 6 kHz in place. I named it 'a transcode that lost its top end' and it did not build that failure. With a real 4-pole brick wall the loss is caught: ADV 6.52 dB at 4.3x, S00A 1.83 dB at 1.2x. Covered, not absent. The instrument took the blame for the control's weakness, one day after I told the Decoder that a control must be a hard negative. The harder rule: a control must CONSTRUCT the failure it is named after. Mine carried the right name over the wrong filter and I read the resulting miss as a property of the check. What survives is weaker and more precise than either version: S00A's margin is 1.2x, which is thin, and the tool now prints a THIN warning below 2x. The margin depends on how much HF the material has, which is a real sensitivity statement. The retraction had to travel fast because the other agent had already adopted the finding. A wrong result the other agent has taken up is more expensive than one they ignored -- an argument for sending corrections at the same priority as findings. Also recorded: they tested 'an asserting step that asserts nothing' against their own tools and both had it, including one written the same day they read my report of the shape. Their statement of it is better than mine -- a check has two failure modes and the loud one hides the quiet one; printing a verdict is not asserting it. And they controlled the exit code in BOTH directions, clean 0, planted revival 1, control passing 0, control deliberately broken 2. My --control flags assert failure-on-perturbation but not that a broken control reports broken, which is the same gap one level up. Next thing to close here.

port: a hard negative found a coverage hole and two defects hiding each other
The Decoder generalised my identity rule back at me -- a positive control that is merely 'high' hides the difference between an exact instrument and a lossy one -- and it landed on the band check I shipped yesterday. Its positive control was 0.29 and 0.66 dB, and small is not zero. Source against itself read 7.656 dB, larger than the number the check calls faithful: bands() applied the fold to one side only, correct for source-versus-transcode and wrong for source-versus-itself. The fold is per-side now and identity reads 0.000 dB exactly. The published 0.66 stands unchanged; what changed is that the instrument is known unbiased rather than assumed to be, and the scale's bottom is anchored. Same rule applied to the port's headline numbers: the image RMSE metric reads 0.0000 for a capture against itself and after a PNG round-trip, so 13.21 is real difference and not pipeline noise. verify-capture now asserts that before printing any row and refuses if it is not exact. Then their refutation attempt on 'band energies need no alignment'. It survives -- 1 s of misalignment costs 0.16 dB -- but 10 s costs 1.00 dB, so the claim is narrowed to robust, not free. Their real point: separation is material-dependent, two unrelated music banks separate by 5.28 dB where an unrelated movie gave me 19-20. A movie is an easy negative, so I built the hard one and it failed. A 6 kHz lowpass is caught on ADV at 4.27 dB, 2.8x, and NOT caught on S00A at 1.28 dB against a 1.5 dB threshold, because S00A's own 6-16 kHz content sits at -67 dB. A transcode that lost its whole top end would pass on S00A. Reported per asset as COVERED / NOT COVERED rather than asserted, and tracked in BLOCKED. Splitting the top band raised ADV from 2.58 to 4.27 dB. That is changing the instrument's resolution so it can see a failure it must see, driven by a control it failed -- the pass threshold is unchanged. Repairing it exposed two defects that had been hiding each other. return 0 was unconditional: making the difference path report-only swallowed the band verdict, so check-all's transcode-bands must-pass step could not fail -- an asserting step that asserts nothing, shipped by me one day after writing up the same shape in someone else's work. And the disqualified difference path was still voting on the exit code, so fixing the return turned the run red for the wrong reason. Neither would have surfaced without a control the tool could fail.

port: the difference path is disqualified, and the identity test is what showed it
Audited my own docs for the Decoder's method-versus-subject error -- a negative
about the instrument written as a negative about the subject. Clean: every
impossibility claim in DECISIONS is already method-scoped ('undecodable WITH
REACH', 'cannot be answered BY LISTENING'), and both live open rows in BLOCKED
read 'not observed' and 'deliberately not inferred'. Nothing to fix, recorded as a
negative.
Then three cheap measurements located the fidelity fault exactly. Identity --
source against a second decode of itself at lag 0 -- subtracts to -inf, so
decode-and-subtract is exact and the pipeline was never the problem. A LOSSLESS
flac of the identical fold reaches only 14.2 dB down, searched exhaustively at
stride 1 over 300 lags, where it must reach about 90. The shipped transcode's 8.73
dB is therefore meaningless.
So the difference path is disqualified rather than inconclusive, and every number
it produced in this thread -- including the 'difference louder than source'
readings I reported twice -- was an artefact of the lag search, not evidence about
a transcode. The tool now refuses on that path and carries its acceptance test in
the code: make lossless-vs-source return >= 60 dB down before believing anything
it says.
The identity test costs one decode and no encoder, and it should have been the
first thing run three iterations ago. Before asking whether an instrument can
measure a difference, ask whether it returns zero for no difference.
Hypotheses ruled out and recorded so nobody re-runs them: drift (offset stable at
about -2465 samples across t=2, 10 and 20 s), container start time (start_time is
exactly 0), the codec being perceptual (the lossless control fails the same way),
and level or content mismatch (bands agree to 0.66 dB).
P4's waveform question is now open with a disqualified instrument -- worse than it
looked yesterday, and better than believing 8.73 dB meant something. The band
check is unaffected and still asserts.

port: a capital letter hid a refuted claim; and band levels answer what alignment could not
Three findings, two of them defects in my own checkers. Changing the KIND of quantity answered the P4 fidelity question on the first attempt. Four attempts at sample-exact difference-signal alignment produced four failures and no verdict -- well past the Decoder's rule that two failed attempts at the same measurement are evidence the quantity is wrong, not the parsing. Band energies need no alignment at all: both transcodes match their sources to 0.66 dB worst-case across four bands, while an unrelated movie lands at 19-20 dB. Two populations an order of magnitude apart, so the 1.5 dB tolerance sits between measured values rather than being picked. Asserting in check-all with the known negative on every run, not behind a flag. It also diagnoses the failure it replaced: matching spectra mean same content at same level, so the difference signal's failure is my alignment, now by evidence rather than assumption. The difference path stays report-only. Band agreement cannot tell a faithful transcode from one that kept the spectrum and mangled the waveform -- weaker than P4 wanted, and what I can support. check-claims held 'no loop-point field has been identified' in its register the whole time and matched case-sensitively, so a capital N at the start of a sentence hid a registered dead claim in BLOCKED.md -- the one document whose job is to say what is still open. The correction had reached authored/audio.json and not the blocked list, which is exactly the failure that file's own why warns about. Matching is case-insensitive now and immediately surfaced five more unmarked sites, including a whole DECISIONS section still describing the refuted state. All six fixed: four tokened, two rewritten with the shipped values. Controlled with a planted capitalised revival. And --control caught its own harness: it perturbed only the first occurrence of an anchor, and the Decoder's delivery heading now appears twice, so the check read the untouched duplicate and passed a wrong contract. A perturbation that does not reach every copy makes a check untestable silently. First time a control has failed because of a change in someone else's document rather than my code. Not accepted from the same message: the (A)-skips-a-movie row is NOT stale. It reads (a) ANSWERED, cites Q9, and points at flow.json's skippable: true. Reported back rather than quietly 'fixed' -- marking a live row stale is the error their own message is about. Every asserting check passes.

port: attempt the P4 fidelity question -- four traps reproduced, no verdict claimed
AUDIO-VERIFICATION.md section 1 calls transcode fidelity the question P4 actually raised, needing neither an engine nor a device, and gives it in four lines of shell. Nothing implemented it: verify-video-audio deliberately declines, saying a difference RMS without alignment is meaningless. So the P4/P7 gate has rested on level and non-silence and the fidelity claim has never been made. tools/port/verify-transcode-fidelity now exists and is committed WITHOUT a verdict, deliberately. Four ways the measurement lies, each reproduced here rather than reasoned about. Indexing with a negative lag wraps to the end of the array in Python, so the difference was the transcode subtracted from an unrelated part of the source -- reported 7 dB LOUDER than the source, the same catastrophic-looking number the doc warns of. My regex for the recorded -af truncated the fold to its FL half, folding the source to a left-only signal: the doc names that trap, I reached it through a parsing bug, and the matrix contains runs of spaces so it cannot be tokenised on whitespace. -ss before -i is a container-level jump and on this WMA Pro source returned 4.6 s for a 4.0 s request while the Ogg side returned 4.0 s, so the windows covered different stretches of the movie, best correlation 0.172 -- this one is NOT in the doc and is indistinguishable from the alignment trap that is. And the single-resolution search returned +2413 against a window of +-2400, its own boundary rather than a peak, the same family as the Decoder's period estimator returning its search floor. Why no verdict: best alignment is corr 0.763 on S00A and 0.075 on ADV, and both still report the difference louder than the source, which cannot be true of two aligned signals at equal level. The remaining fault is on my side. A tool printing 'not faithful' in that state would put a false defect on the exporter. It now distinguishes 'could not align' from 'not faithful', two failures I conflated twice before separating them. Filed for the human as a proposal, not an edit: section 1 should carry the imprecise-seek trap as a fourth entry.

port: make the frame count permanent, then correct what I read from it twice
The Decoder's closing point -- the inference is cheap and the measurement looks expensive right up until someone does it -- is actionable, so the probe I reverted is now permanent. The exporter records each transcode's duration and frame rate in the manifest (probed from the file it wrote, not the source), and every video run prints what it showed against what the media holds. An instrument that has to be added before the question can be asked will not be there the next time somebody reasons instead. Then the instrument corrected me twice more. It is an UPPER BOUND, not a count. It counts engine frames, and the engine renders the UI at its own rate: on a quiet box ADV drew 6480 frames across a 4123-frame video, 44 fps against the media's 30. Above that crossover it constrains nothing, and '157% presented' is the counter used outside its range. The report now says so instead of printing a percentage. So 'the player skips, heavily' is not supported. At 8.3 engine fps under contention S00A could not have shown more than 28% -- a valid bound under contention and nothing more. Quiet, the bound is 88-90%, permitting anything from no drops to a tenth. And the 720p-versus-432p contrast is refuted -- the finding I sent them twice. I reported ADV +6.7% against S00A -0.5% and built 'heavy decode falls behind, light keeps up' on it. Quiet, both run +6.7...+6.9%. The -0.5% was a contended run in which the player dropped frames to hold schedule. I was measuring which run happened to share the box and reading it as a property of the resolution. What survives is sturdier than either: playback runs +6.7%...+6.9% long on this container, five runs, both videos, quiet, resolution-independent. Three corrections in three iterations, all mine, all the same shape: argued from an absence; measured and over-read; then found the measurement was taken under a confound I introduced myself by running the suite alongside it. Their rule needs a companion -- ask what the quantity can be skipped by, and ask what else was running.

port: I measured my own claim and it is wrong -- the player skips, heavily
I told the Decoder that a player running long decoded everything, so my video spans were time-to-consume measurements. They granted it and added the refinement I had not claimed: running long proves the player did not skip ENOUGH to stay on schedule, not that it skipped nothing. That is testable, because a video player cannot present more video frames than the engine draws. Engine.get_frames_drawn() across each playback: S00A drew 775 frames in 93.33 s, 8.3 fps, 28% of the 2813 frames in the media; ADV drew 1941 in 140.77 s, 13.8 fps, 47% of 4123. Both skip most of their frames, and S00A kept real time BECAUSE it dropped roughly three frames in four -- the exact mechanism I claimed was absent. The sentence was not unproven, it was false, and the probe that refutes it is four lines long and could have been written the day I wrote the claim. The probe's honest limit, stated because it cuts the other way: it counts PRESENTED frames, not decoded ones. Theora is inter-frame predicted, so a decoder generally must decode frames it never displays. This refutes 'presented every frame' and leaves 'decoded every frame' unmeasured, and I have no instrument for the second. Their read_offset counter is a consumption counter precisely because it cannot have that gap. And the number I sent them twice is a spread. Three ADV runs: 146.42, 146.60, 140.77 s, giving +6.5%, +6.7%, +2.4%. I quoted +6.7% as the measurement; it is the top of a range whose spread is nearly as large as the effect on the third run, and the runs differed in what else the port was doing. Reported as +2.4%...+6.7%, n=3, load-dependent, from here. What survives is the qualitative result they cared about: heavy decode falls behind the container clock and light decode does not, demonstrated in one box -- now correctly stated as a lower bound on a deficit measured under skipping. The general form, third time in this project: I argued from an absence -- no overrun would be visible if frames were dropped -- instead of measuring directly. The direct measurement cost four lines. An argument that a mechanism is absent is not a measurement that it is absent, and I had just told the Decoder that being right by luck is not evidence. Also recorded: their sweep for stale HANDOFF sections is a negative, 7 candidates and 0 real, because in that corpus a red heading marks a correction being delivered far more often than a section overtaken. Neither of us should build it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: a leak that was not mine, a second narrow anchor, and a result recovered
Three findings, one of them a withdrawal of my own fix. The ObjectDB leak line on every run is engine-side. The leaked objects are the Ogg streams and playbacks of exactly the cues that sounded, which reads as MenuAudio holding references past teardown. It does not: releasing every reference the port owns -- stop each player, null every stream, clear _players, clear cues/beds/voices -- moved the count not at all, 8 before and 8 after, with a debug print confirming _exit_tree runs. The cleanup is REVERTED rather than kept, because code that changes nothing under a comment claiming to fix a leak is worse than none: the next reader sees it handled and stops looking. Filed as a negative result so nobody re-investigates. check_focus_persists gets a SECOND NARROW ANCHOR, repairing a weakness I recorded last iteration and did not act on. It anchored on the heading -- the conclusion -- so when the Decoder corrected the run's item names it sailed past, surviving by luck rather than design. It now also rests on the evidence, the ring at y 384.0 before the round trip and 385.5 after, which is the geometry-free equality the conclusion stands on. The two anchors are checked AGAINST EACH OTHER: if one matches and the other does not it reports ANCHOR SPLIT. The second anchor has its own known negative, perturbing only the evidence line -- without that it would be decorative and the check would still rest on the conclusion alone. And their skippability rule recovers a result I had over-withdrawn. Frames can be skipped, bytes consumed cannot; that is why my withdrawal reaches my test and not their read-offset one. Applied backwards: the OVERRUN IS the evidence nothing was skipped. A player that drops frames finishes on schedule; mine took 146.6 s for 137.44 s of media, so ADV +6.7% and S00A -0.5% are time-to-consume measurements after all. The withdrawal stands for the pacing-audit use; the load-starvation result is recovered. Standing caveat recorded: every timing this port publishes is frame-derived, and the only reason those seconds mean anything is that this player demonstrably does not skip -- an empirical property, not a guarantee, and nothing checks it. Reported: the 'do not hardcode the menu's initial focus' HANDOFF section still reads as live while two later sections have overtaken both its claims. Every asserting check passes; 14 controls fire.

port: my media-versus-wall-clock method cannot audit container pacing
The Decoder proposed borrowing it to settle their 27.6 fps confound. It does not work, and the reason matters more than the result. Three S00A replicates, whose 93.78 s is fixed by its own sample rate: -0.44%, -0.51%, -0.50%. Tight, reproducible, and unable to answer the question it was asked. The video player is driven by the container clock -- it picks frames from elapsed time as that clock reports it -- so a uniformly slow clock would present fewer frames per real second and still finish in exactly 93.78 s of container time. A perfect match, produced by the failure it was meant to detect. Every timer inside shares that clock, the shell's date included. My earlier entry conflated two uses. 'Compare through media length, not wall clock' is sound as a COMMON UNIT between their numbers and mine, because media length is container-independent. It is not an AUDIT of pacing. Corrected here and in BLOCKED rather than in place. What the contrast does establish favours their doubt. Same container, same clock, same player: ADV at 1280x720 runs +6.7% over its media, S00A at 768x432 runs -0.5%. Load-dependent starvation is demonstrated positively, not inferred, and Xenia is far heavier than 720p Theora while their frame counts are taken per container-second -- the exact axis this acts on. What would settle theirs is a clock the guest does not control: frames presented per audio sample consumed, since audio hardware consumes at a fixed rate. Offered as a route, theirs to say whether Xenia exposes it. Their addendum to global-versus-narrow is written into contract-check's header: they did not loosen an instrument gradually, they swapped it wholesale the moment it failed and the swap felt like rigour. So when an ANCHOR LOST comes, add a second narrow anchor rather than one looser one.

port: running it as a player finds two defects reading it did not
--boot --script= parsed, was stored, and did nothing. The script only starts at _menu_enter, and a --boot run without --play never enters a menu -- it holds on the title and quits. The run completed, exit 0, no menu line, no press: a clean result to a question never asked. This file already warns about that exact shape 600 lines above the bug, where --capture used to photograph the first frame of a scripted run. The warning was written, kept, and did not stop the same class recurring in the neighbouring flag. Now push_errors and exits 2, naming both working forms, refusing rather than implying --play since the two runs differ by 157 s of intro. Verified: --boot --play --script walks power-on through splashes, ADV, title, (A), main menu, down, (A). A comment above audio.play_bed described the port as CHOOSING the menu track, which HANDOFF Q10 refuted a week ago -- BGM_103 is measured on three independent legs and audio.json says so. Third instance of the drifted-comment trap. The dead phrase is now a check-claims register row, controlled: a planted revival fails and removing it passes. And the boot's wall-clock seconds are a property of this container. ADV takes 146.6 s of wall clock for 137.44 s of media, +6.7%, while S00A runs real time at -0.4%. Not a post-roll and not a general deficit: ADV is 1280x720 and S00A is 768x432, this box has no GPU, and 720p Theora decodes below real time here. The transcode is faithful against a 137.71 s source and the exporter does not rescale. P3/P7 artifacts quote seconds containing that deficit -- reproducible here, not a statement about the port or the game. Comparisons with the Decoder's measurements must go through media length, not wall clock; they carry an explicit emulator pacing factor for the same reason and I had been quoting mine as exact. Their negative result on LOAD GAME, TUTORIAL and OPTIONS leaves guard_focus_scope right to count them UNMEASURED rather than 'resets'. The transferable part is their instrument story: a narrow calibrated reader failed, so they generalised to a whole-frame comparison, which died the moment a crash dialog overlaid the frame while the narrow reader kept working. contract-check is deliberately narrow, individually anchored checks for the same reason, and the temptation after an ANCHOR LOST will be to loosen the matching -- trading a failure I can see for one I cannot.

port: an authored value becomes measured, and a difference-only check gets an origin
The Decoder corrected their own focus delivery: the persistence run's item names were two positions out, from a reader using design-space rows against captures carrying Xenia's chrome and a 1.060 scale. Two things follow. initial_focus_kind moves from authored to measured. NEW GAME on a fresh boot, 2/2 fresh boots, both the first menu entry. The value did not change; its standing did, and the upgrade is not because the measurement agrees with me -- they had said my agreeing with their records was no evidence, which was correct, and this is a direct reading independent of the reasoning that chose NEW GAME here. "First entry" is load-bearing: since the menu remembers its cursor, a reading taken later measures history, which is the objection that voided the earlier TUTORIAL-versus-NEW-GAME disagreement. The superseded reasoning is kept under (was) lines -- the field existing and being labelled honestly is what made arriving at a measurement a label change rather than an archaeology problem, the third time that has paid off after loop_start_s and the +0x08 read. My check_focus_persists anchor survived a correction it should not have been able to detect. It anchors on the heading, the conclusion, not on the item names. That is lucky rather than designed: the conclusion is geometry-free -- ring at y 384.0 before the round trip and 385.5 after, an equality immune to a constant offset -- while the names were not. The check would not have caught the label error, and nothing in it distinguishes anchored-on-a-robust-claim from anchored-above-the- part-that-was-wrong. Their generalisation: a control that only checks differences is blind to the origin. check_splash_dwell is that shape -- it compares the widest gap between keyframe times, and a reader with every time shifted by a constant passes. Added check_splash_times, asserting the absolute list the contract prints. Origin and difference now fail independently. Writing that control reproduced the error one level down: its perturbation literal was written from memory of the prose, with a space where the document has a newline, so it reported its own anchor gone. A control written from a memory of the source rather than from the source is the class of error these checks exist to catch. Thirteen controls, all firing. Q2 closed: fixed same day, and the row was worse than I reported -- the splashes were also mis-paired as 10/11, one half each of two different pairs. EXTRAS remains unmeasured; the run meant to settle it navigated to OPTIONS believing it was EXTRAS. Every asserting check passes.

port: audit every kind label, and seven rested on a neighbour's argument
tools/port/audit-kinds reports what each in authored/ rests on. Nothing had ever checked them, which is the point -- the disciplines that fail this way are the ones that never visibly failed. Seven of fifteen labels, every goto_name_kind, had no of their own. Four scored ok on the first run because the audit fell back to the parent's , which argues the DESTINATION while the label is about where the NAME came from. That is the same error I was corrected for the previous iteration, one level down: crediting a claim with evidence that does not bear on it. Borrowed evidence is now its own outcome, and all seven carry a why citing HANDOFF Q4's own words and stating that the port never branches on the field. The audit refuted itself twice first. It counted only paths, shas and filenames as citations, so HANDOFF Q1 and PORT-MISSION section 7 read as citing nothing -- four false positives, and an audit that invents defects is worse than none because its false positives are indistinguishable from its true ones until each is opened. It also resolved paths against committed refs only, failing on a citation to the tool being written. Both fixed. It still cannot read a cited page to confirm it says what the why claims, and prints that every run. MEASURED and measured both existed; a consumer comparing == measured misses the other, and a label that fails to match reads as ABSENT rather than wrong. Normalised. Refutation attempt on HANDOFF Q2's map of GP_TITLE. The headline survives and is exactly right: 4 UI states + 2 loading variants + 2 boot splashes = 8 states shipped twice = the 16 entries the archive holds, confirmed against my export's entry map. But the row enumerates six of those eight -- entries 10, 11, 13 and 14, publisher_logo and developer_logos, appear nowhere in it. A reader counting Q2 gets twelve, and this is the row already corrected once for an ordinal-versus- entry error, which is the mistake four unlisted entries feed. The port is unaffected; both splashes are exported, named and verified at RMSE 2.17 and 3.05. Every asserting check passes, audit-kinds included.

port: check the walk as well as the contract, and a defect I nearly filed off a debug pin
docs/game/navigation.md is a second document unreachable from main, and
authored/flow.json is its executable form -- nothing in the port fails when a
label drifts from it. Three more checks in contract-check, anchored on the walk's
own text: the five main-menu labels in order, EXTRAS' three items, the cursor
wrap. Ten checks now, ten known negatives, all passing.
The manual audit behind them found nothing else: initial focus is already
kind:authored citing Q5's instability, left_right is an explicit no-op,
auto_repeat is measured, unexported destinations are marked blocked with reasons.
Refutation target: the walk's claim that the ring is the ONLY thing moving on the
settled menu. Cannot be tested against the game from here, but can be tested
against my renderer, which is the direction that matters. Five renders across a
full ring cycle: 1428 of 921600 pixels vary, 0.155 %, one 46x44 cluster beside
the focused item. The port animates one ring, not five -- worth checking, since
all five ptbtn01f..05f declare the same 120-unit cycle and a renderer running all
of them would look identical until you diffed frames.
Then I nearly filed a serious P5 defect against myself: sweeping --leaf-time with
the ring pinned moves 10.4 % of the frame, full-screen. It is not a defect. That
pin addresses the build-in -- ptloop01 runs t=0..600, ptloop02 t=0..720 -- and at
settle both park off-screen at x=1521 and x=-839, with loop_leaf_on_screens
scoped to the title alone. The general form: a pin that can address states the
screen never occupies will manufacture defects on demand, which inverts what the
three pins are for.

port: escalation resolved -- a uniform black hold is positively excluded
Their measurement orders the four gaps by the screen being LEFT: menu 0 and 1 frames, EXTRAS 2, title 3. Direction, button and incoming screen are each positively ruled out -- the same pair both ways differs, (B) gives 0 and 2 while (A) gives 1 and 3, and an incoming menu takes 3 from the title and 2 from EXTRAS. That resolves the escalation I raised: a uniform value is not merely unsupported but excluded, so 0 is no longer one option among several. It is the only honest uniform choice, because it models the gap as absent rather than as constant. black_hold_units is unchanged at 0; its justification is replaced. And my own rule is now refuted rather than unadopted. Gap plus the incoming screen's opening black-clear held at 16/16/18 on three transitions; their fourth gives 16, 14, 16, 18, and decisively the two transitions with the same incoming screen have different gaps, so the incoming screen cannot determine it. A fourth point did to a three-point fit exactly what it should. Not keying per outgoing screen: three screens with one value each restates the data, which is the objection I raised against my own 16/16/18. BLOCKED row rewritten to ask for a second value on any one outgoing screen.
