sylpheed-port ran my two-half decomposition on their side and found the thing that
passes every check by being absent -- an authored value with no `why` at all.
Their first pass flagged 35 of 131; ancestor-aware, the real number was 0. The
analogue here is a page citing NO reference data, which my previous gate audit
would score "0 missing" and pass.
42 pages carry a measured/decoded/CONFIRMED status; 3 cite no data/ or captures/
path. INSPECTED BEFORE PUBLISHING, per their rule, and all three are false
positives, each verified rather than waved through:
slb-bank-header-not-a-wave.md cites tests/slb_leading_segment_disc.rs, and that
file exists in crates/sylpheed-formats/tests/ -- its evidence is a disc-wide
check over 9 519 sound.pak entries plus regression tests.
ui-screen-runtime.md carries 26 rows of inline evidence, live guest-memory reads
matched field by field against the file.
five-screens-acceptance.md is a consolidation page; its evidence is the six
pages it links and the numbers it tabulates.
3 -> 0.
The real finding is about the EARLIER audit. This corpus carries evidence in at
least three forms -- committed data files, inline tables, committed disc tests --
and both checks look for exactly one. "48 citations, 0 missing" is a statement
about the data-file form, not about whether the gates are evidenced. The gates are
evidenced; the audit was narrower than its wording suggested.
METHOD gains their formulation with all four instances -- a first count from a new
detector is a measurement of the detector, and all four were caught by inspecting
the flagged items before publishing the number -- and the corollary that an audit
is narrower than its wording: name the form you checked, not the property you hope
it stands for.

sylpheed-port found P0 complete-but-unindexed: the work existed, the artifact
existed, the gate record did not. They named it as the argued-versus-indexed split
one level up from the refutation register, which is a shape worth checking on my
own objective rather than only agreeing with.
MISSION's gate has two halves -- "a written docs/re/ result with the evidence, and
reference data committed alongside it" -- and all ten questions read answered.
Half one: all ten cite a docs/re/ result.
Half two: every data/ and captures/ path those nine pages cite was resolved
against the tree. 48 citations, 0 missing. Spot-checked six for substance rather
than existence, since the gate's PURPOSE is that the port can work without a disc
-- 1.2 KB to 20.7 KB, 15 to 324 numeric lines each. No stubs.
CLEAN, and unlike the port's P0 also indexed: HANDOFF's status table cites the
page and the page cites the data.
Reach stated, because a clean audit is worth exactly its checks. This tests that
CITED files EXIST and carry content. It does not test that the data supports the
claim, and it cannot see data a page should have cited and did not -- a page
citing nothing would have passed as "0 missing". None did, but the check would not
have caught it. Existence and substance, never sufficiency.
