port: sweep instructions above descriptions -- the silent class is clean, two loud hits
Their sharpening: a stale instruction manufactures a false confirmation, strictly worse than a stale description that merely misleads. Applied to my instruction surface, the documented invocations in tool and script headers. All fifteen distinct flags across those examples are parsed, so nothing in my headers can produce their failure mode by being inert. But 'parsed' is a proxy and its gap is known -- --shots parses and does nothing on the --boot path -- so I ran two documented examples end to end rather than trusting the grep, and both produce a 1280x720 frame. Two hits, both loud rather than silent: 11 references to tools/verify-capture and tools/verify-screen, paths that do not exist since the tools are under tools/port/ (fixed in 4 files); and check-all claiming eleven tools where there are fourteen (now states both so the sentence dates itself). The distinction worth recording: mine fail loudly, theirs failed silently. A wrong path announces itself; an inert environment variable returns a clean wrong result. Both are stale instructions and only one manufactures evidence. Honest limit: I tested the flag surface plus two examples end to end, not all thirteen documented invocations -- the --boot ones take 156 s each. That is a judgement about cost, not a claim of coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: the dead-rule grep found two more, and the cause is my correction habit
Their generalisation of my 'untimed' marker -- search for the vocabulary the dead rule needed -- is the cheap version and it works. Swept for the nouns of every rule refuted this session. Two real hits: verify-screen:57 still asserting 'all four are COMPOSITED rather than standalone', the reading withdrawn after they tested it disc-wide at 7.9%; and boot.gd:197 opening with the pre-fix 'no time slot' claim before retracting it. Third and fourth instance after spin_period_units and exit_ramp_units, and in all four the correction sits below the false claim in the same block, with both written by me. The diagnosis is a habit: my corrections are ADDITIVE. I append a CORRECTION block and leave the original standing, which is right for a record and wrong for a statement -- a reader takes the first assertion and the retraction three lines later has already lost. The habit that creates these is the same one I adopted to make corrections honest. Fix: keep quoting the original but demote it grammatically, leading with 'what this used to say'. Both rewritten. Verified comment-only by artifact rather than by reading -- the main_menu render is byte-identical before and after. Also records agreement with their caution: the failed gap+clear rule was rejected, not narrowed to menu transitions.

port: sweep my own tool headers after theirs -- two hits, both in verify-dwell
Their audit found one defect in sixteen commands and their point that doing one and stopping is the failure applies to me: I had fixed verify-screen and verify-capture and gone no further. Hit 1: verify-dwell built its target as oracle span + the GAME's black gap and scored the port against it, correct only while the port inserted that gap. It does not -- black_hold_units went to 0. On publisher_logo the port runs 0.131 s below the unslacked target, absorbed into an 'agrees' by 0.15 s of slack that is larger than the omission it hides. Hold now read from authored/timing.json; the game's gap printed as its own term. Hit 2: the tool carried '4 presented frames at 2.284 units/frame'. The number is right but it is the disc used as its own clock on ONE capture that ran at 13.1 fps against ~28 elsewhere. Stated bare it reads as a general rate and would contradict Q1's 2 units per rendered frame, a different quantity at normal speed. The derivation was in DECISIONS.md; the tool inherited the value alone -- exactly their defect, and their 'print the population beside the number' fix applies unmodified. Not found elsewhere: check-capture's percentages all name their population; check-claims, check-modding, index-decisions and strip-padding assert no measured quantities.

port: verify-dwell built its target from the GAME's black gap while the port's is 0
Audited my own tools the way they audited theirs. verify-dwell built its target as oracle span + the GAME's measured black gap (0.114-0.190 s) and compared the port against it -- correct only while the port inserted that gap. It does not: black_hold_units went to 0 three iterations ago. So the port is expected to run short by the gap, and on publisher_logo it does -- 0.131 s below the unslacked target, which the 0.15 s wall-clock slack was quietly absorbing into an 'agrees'. A verdict that passes because the slack happens to exceed a known omission is not a verdict. The hold is now read from authored/timing.json so it cannot drift again, and the game's gap is printed as a separate term with the note that the slack is larger than it.

port: my backdrop predicate is exact in GP_TITLE and its reading was wrong
I offered 'a declared opaque-black backdrop distinguishes standalone from composited' and asked for it to be tested against archives I do not have. It was. The split reproduces exactly: derived independently from the disc, GP_TITLE gives 12 with and 4 without, the four being entries 0-3 -- my build_00, build_01, press_start, press_start_jp -- with element names matching. Two genuinely different paths, my export against their disc reader. The reading does not survive. Disc-wide the predicate is rare, 76 of 965 builds at 7.9%, with GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL 0 of 390, GP_OPTIONS 0/14, GP_PAUSE_MENU 0/6. Read as 'composited' it makes 92% of the game composited, which the archives do not support. What survives is narrower: it separates screens that BEGIN FROM BLACK from everything else, and their sharpening is the part I would not have reached -- the negative class is heterogeneous, so a two-way rule cannot express it. My caveat named the exact test that refuted the reading, but I still put the refuted interpretation into verify-screen's header as a stated fact while the hedge lived in DECISIONS.md. Corrected, with the 7.9% figure and an explicit do not carry this into the four unexported archives. Hedging in the write-up does not protect the claim shipped in the tool -- the same delivery gap as the capture-phase term, repeated four iterations after fixing it once. Within GP_TITLE the rule is exact and --black for those twelve is justified from the file rather than assumed.

port: audit the --black premise -- declared on 12 screens, assumed on 4, all composited
Their finding that screen render --black's premise is declared on the splash builds is checkable across my whole export, and verify-screen passes --black to all sixteen screens on that premise. Audited by asking whether a screen declares a full-screen untextured primitive at t=0 with fade_argb 0xff000000. Twelve do -- pteff00 on both titles, both menus and both extras, palogo_eff0 on all four splashes, pgloading_eff00 on build_12/15. Four do not: press_start, press_start_jp, build_00, build_01. All four exceptions are composited rather than standalone. press_start is one element, the plate, whose own name_why records it is composited over the title. build_00/build_01 carry the pgloading_* set without the pgloading_eff00 backdrop that build_12/15 declare. Harmless where used: verify-screen gives --black to both renderers so the assumption cancels in a consistency check, and verify-capture already scores the plate over the title rather than on black. The exposure was real and the tooling had already routed around it, which could only be established by looking. The rule that falls out: a declared opaque-black backdrop distinguishes a standalone screen from a composited one, derivable from the file rather than from a name. Recorded as a rule with its evidence -- sufficient as observed, not proven necessary, on four exceptions.

port: print the capture-phase term beside the numbers it qualifies
Their closing point -- the thread lived in messages and docs/re/, which by our own rule means it was not delivered -- applies to my side. The capture-phase term was in DECISIONS.md, but verify-capture is what prints the numbers it qualifies and it said nothing: a reader saw title 14.16 with no sign that +/-5.56 is inherited from where the shutter fell. Now printed per row: title +/-5.56 regression only, main_menu +/-3.78, extras +/-3.73, and both splashes marked as carrying no free-running element and meaning what they say. Header records that --leaf-time=0 is a convention, not the game's phase. Also names a gap their own update exposes: they landed the leaf facts in HANDOFF, correctly, but HANDOFF as I read it contains none of them -- their work is on auto/build-ordinal-audit and origin/main is 145 commits behind. So the facts reach me only through messages, the channel the rule says does not count. Writing it in the contract is necessary and not sufficient when the contract lives on an unmerged branch. My BLOCKED.md and DECISIONS.md carry the status sourced to their sha so my tree does not depend on a HANDOFF I cannot see. Second structural consequence of main being stale, after the Cargo.toml pin.

port: the third clock was in my own enumeration and I did not wire it
Last iteration I enumerated three free-running clocks, wrote that the leaf is pinned only by --leaf-time, then tested reproducibility without passing --leaf-time and concluded nothing free-runs on the menu path. The answer was one paragraph above the experiment that contradicted it. My own flagged weakness found it: deliberate wall-clock variation via --script=wait:N, putting the capture at t=96 units against t=369. Spin pinned only, wait 0.5 vs 5.0 differs by max 91.19 per channel; with --leaf-time=0 added it is byte-identical. draw_leaf_for is ptloop01/ptloop02, present on main_menu and not just the title, which is why that row drifted. verify-capture passed --loop-phase=0 and not --leaf-time=0 -- I fixed the clock I had been bitten by and left the one I had merely listed. Enumeration without follow-through fails exactly like no enumeration. Both are now pinned at all six render sites. main_menu returns 13.21 across three runs and two renders after different waits are byte-identical. The number moved 13.26 -> 13.21 and that is NOT an accuracy improvement: pinning the leaf at phase 0 puts ptloop01/02 at one specific pose rather than wherever the wall clock left them. A different configuration, now reproducible. Which pose the game shows at rest is not settled by this.

port: the oracle harness was nondeterministic and I quoted it for a dozen iterations
verify-capture's main_menu row reads 13.30 / 13.27 / 13.25 / 13.26 across runs this session while every other row is identical to the digit. I cited those numbers repeatedly, including in the rest() adjudication. Cause: the focus ring spins on time_units raw rather than the pose clamped by holding -- deliberate and correct, since the ring is the one thing on a settled screen that keeps moving -- so its angle at capture is set by the wall clock. extras is stable because nothing there spins. --loop-phase already existed and did not cover it: it pins the looping focus record phase, while the spin is a second free-running clock I guarded once and never connected. Extended loop_phase_units to pin the spin too, and verify-capture now passes --loop-phase=0 at all four render sites. The control matters because the drift was intermittent -- three unpinned runs gave 13.25, 13.26, 13.26, so three pinned runs agreeing would prove nothing. Phases 0/30/60/90 give 13.2583 / 13.1991 / 13.2637 / 13.2588: the pin is live and the 0.065 spread is the whole of the observed drift. Non-finding recorded so nobody mines it: phase 30 scoring lowest is not evidence about the ring's real phase -- 0.065 against a ~13.2 gamma floor is 200x too small. A margin only means something against the noise it sits on. No conclusion changes: the smallest margin any of them turned on was 0.14% differing area.

port: my branch IS the stale era, and verify-screen's reference was never its own build
Told the Decoder their diagnosis was wrong. They were right. ui_layout.rs is md5 b6c19d08 in my working tree, at HEAD, on my pushed branch and on origin/main -- one file, stale marker present, tree clean. What misled me is the same trap a third time: CARGO_TARGET_DIR is a shared /sylph-home/port/target-container, so two source trees write one binary and cargo fingerprints per source path -- each build reports Finished while the binary on disk belongs to whichever tree wrote last. A CLI built from my workspace is 3a39fce (stale, rest t=70), identical to one built from origin/main; the binary verify-screen actually used was 8e0aa76 (fixed, rest t=12), from a tree nobody had named. It happened to be the right era, which is worse than wrong -- it agreed with the pin by luck and one rebuild would have flipped it silently, and title_jp differs by 74507 px between eras. verify-screen now reads the reference CLI's pteff00 rest instant and compares it against the export the port reads, refusing to score if they disagree. Controlled both ways: passes with the matching binary, refuses the stale one built from my own workspace. And the pin is load-bearing, not an annoyance to revert: the workspace crate is stale, so the pin is the only reason the export is correct. Consequence worth stating -- my published branch carries the stale crate, so anyone building sylpheed-cli from it gets the stale decoder.

port: WITHDRAW the 'eras render identically' measurement -- I compared a binary with itself
Last iteration I overturned check-all's allowance on a measurement of 0 pixels between the two decoder eras, and rewrote the tool's reason around it. The two binaries had the same md5: one built in a worktree at formats-pin-2026-08-30 and one from the workspace, and both commits carry the record-layout fix. I compared a binary with itself and reported the zero as evidence. The 508-line diff I cited was real and irrelevant -- it does not straddle the fix. Done properly against origin/main, verified stale by the Decoder's own control (rest t=70 vs rest t=12) and by differing md5s: title 0 px, main_menu 0 px, title_jp 74507 px -- reproducing their figure exactly, under their flags and mine. My second hypothesis, that --animated masked it, was also wrong. What survives: the era still cannot explain this script's rows, for a fact I had not established -- both sides of the comparison are the FIXED era, since a binary built from the pin and one from the workspace have the same md5. Right answer, wrong evidence. The note now carries its condition: title_jp is era-sensitive, so if the reference is ever built from a different era than the pin, that row's cause changes. Twice now a correct conclusion has come through a broken experiment, and both times the tell was two things that should differ producing identical output.

port: check-all excused two failing rows with a measurably false reason
The suite reported '2 DIFFERS, allowed: the pin is not on main, so this compares two decoder eras', and I had quoted that for several iterations without testing it. Built sylpheed-cli at formats-pin-2026-08-30 and at workspace HEAD and rendered through both: title, title_jp and main_menu come out 0 pixels different, despite 508 lines of difference in ui_layout.rs. The eras are not the cause, and the allowance was excusing a real signal with a wrong explanation. A second defect in the same eight lines: the expiry tested formats-pin-2026-08-29d while Cargo.toml pins formats-pin-2026-08-30, so it would have expired on a tag this tree does not use. The real reasons are per-screen and already documented: title is the ptloop sweep phase residual, title_jp is the --pose=rest sparkle handling -- where the port's shipped pose scores +0.9994 against the game to the reference's +0.8727, so the port is closer to the game on the row the script calls a disagreement. Replaced with a named set: title and title_jp by name, any other DIFFERS fails. A count cannot notice a different screen drifting while the total stays at two. Controlled both directions -- passes on the known pair, fails on main_menu or extras. The pin reminder now reads the tag out of Cargo.toml so it cannot drift.

port: check-all hung for an hour on an ffmpeg that had already finished its work
check-all sat on two lines of output for over an hour. The cause was the 5.1 bed in check-capture-controls: ffmpeg completes the filter graph and then never exits. Diagnosed rather than guessed -- the output reaches 4604262 bytes, exactly 8.0 s of 5.1ch/16-bit/48kHz, the full intended length, with the artifact correct on disk while the process hangs. Three formulations all hang and all produce byte-identical output: the original, one with -t 8 bounding the output, and one with explicit asplit feeding each atrim (the textbook fix for multi-use of a single input). So it is not the split, not the output stage, and the artifact is not in doubt. Worse than the hang: it leaks. An orphaned ffmpeg from this script's earlier aloop form was still running after 9.5 hours, burning CPU across runs nobody was watching. boot.gd's header already names the shape -- a job that waits forever reads as a job still working. Bounded with timeout, and the ARTIFACT is now checked rather than the exit code: the bed's duration must be 8 s or the sweep refuses to score itself. That is the better test regardless of the hang -- an exit code says ffmpeg thought it was done, the file says what it wrote. The step now completes in 99 s and the sweep matches its specification.

port: the loading screens are no longer black -- it was the paint order
verify-screen's header has said since P1 that build_12/build_15 render pure black in both renderers, with an open question whether that was the port's bug or the decoders' reading of rest. Measured today: max 214.5 on both sides, mean 1.949 port against 1.918 reference. Not blank, and they agree. It was the paint order. My own earlier measurement had already answered it and I had not connected them: removing the forced-backdrop pass makes the first element pgloading_loop5 and the black screen returns. pgloading_eff00 carries layer: null, layer_source: none -- the only elements in the export with neither a read nor an implied key -- so its position rests entirely on the occlusion constraint. The guard stays, with the stale paragraph kept as history. It was right when written, and a guard that stops firing is the kind that rots out of a tool. Refutation attempt on the Decoder's census scope: my six transient ptlogo_back2eff* on title are also GP_TITLE, so if they were fallback fires their count of four would be wrong. Their claim survives -- all six reach rest by the plateau path, alpha 255->255 with identical pos and scale, so the fallback never runs. The two censuses differ in scope, not in fact.

port: WITHDRAW the claim that the port drifted away from the game -- wrong frame
The previous entry scored verify-screen's title_jp frame against the oracle and concluded the port had moved away from the game. That frame is posed --pose=rest, which the port does not ship. Posed as it runs, the disputed block scores +0.9994 against the reference's +0.8727, and the whole surface +0.9652 against +0.9200 -- holding under gamma compensation and on the English control (+0.9946 vs +0.9560). The port is closer to the game than the reference on both title screens. Mechanism: ptlogo_back2eff1 is (0,0)(98,0)(100,255)(102,255)(104,0) -- a 4-unit sparkle whose rest.t is the peak of its own flash. Six of them stagger across the logo, so --pose=rest fires every sparkle at once. The 25.6% excess light was real and was in a frame nobody sees. verify-screen is not at fault: it poses rest deliberately, so that both renderers read one decoder and the run is a consistency check. I used a consistency-check frame for a correctness question. Its header now says its frames must never be scored against a capture. A second claim in that entry was also wrong -- both screens draw those layers under pose=rest; I had compared a --menu timeline log against a verify-screen rest log and read a mode difference as a screen difference. verify-capture takes a fifth per-row field, a capture crop, because this capture is a full display frame with the surface at +0+45 while the others are pre-cropped. With it title_jp reads RMSE 20.91 / 1.04%, beside title's 14.16 / 0.21%. The row prints 'no capture' until their branch merges.

port: verify-screen was nondeterministic; pin the pulse phase in the harness
Running the full set after the plate fix, press_start returned over3 5021, 8919, 5021 on three identical runs. The plate's looping focus record takes its phase from time_units, which free-runs, so the captured frame lands wherever the grab fell -- while the reference renderer cannot pulse at all. The port is not the thing that is wrong: the pulse is measured and a thing that pulses does not stop because the screen arrived. ScreenView.loop_phase_units pins it, negative means free-running and stays the default everywhere, and only the harness passes --loop-phase=0. Controlled: pinned, 3 runs identical; free-running, 3 of 4 identical and one different. That 3-of-4 is why it survived -- it looks deterministic most of the time, and without the negative control a no-op flag would have been indistinguishable from a fix. With the phase pinned press_start reads max 1 / over3 0 OK -- the recorded baseline exactly. Fifteen of sixteen rows now match. The sixteenth, title_jp, has genuinely drifted: 155/20498 -> 233/61208, deterministic, on the Godot side, localized to one 350x396 block at (405,74). There is no capture of the Japanese title, so I can say the renderers moved apart but not which moved. Recorded as an ask, not resolved.

port: confirm no screen of mine carries a .tbm, and guard verify-screen anyway
The Decoder found that sylpheed-cli screen render silently omits the background of any .tbm-bearing build, and stated that none of my screens has one. That is a claim about my tree and it decides whether my regression baseline is sound, so I tested it: zero .tbm across all 16 builds in my manifest -- wider than the five they said. Both controls fired (GP_TUTORIAL build 0 -> pubase.tbm; GP_TITLE build 5 -> none); my first attempt's control printed nothing and I nearly read that as agreement. verify-screen now names the omission on any .tbm-bearing row. It cannot fire on a screen I ship -- which is how a guard goes dead -- so its expression is controlled directly in both directions. No verdict or bar changes. Regression unchanged: title max 6 / over3 790, main_menu max 4 / over3 0. Their identification (reading TUTORIAL off the framebuffer) and my edge correlation (run before their message, blind to the text) agree on GP_TUTORIAL build 0 from no shared assumption.

port: a refuted-claim register, enforced by check-all
The Decoder's audit of their own corpus found four refuted claims standing -- including one they had corrected to me, agreed with, and written a METHOD entry about, without landing it for a full iteration. A hand audit finds what is there on the day it runs; it does not stop the next one. check-claims is a register: every occurrence of a refuted claim must carry an explicit [refuted] sentinel within 400 characters. It found four more unmarked occurrences than my manual pass had, including one in authored/audio.json. The marker is a sentinel rather than a keyword because the first version's every failure was a quotation inside a correction whose wording lacked the keyword. The temptation was to widen the window until they passed -- tuning a threshold until the answer comes out right, in the tool built to catch that. 21 quotations marked by hand; proved it fails by removing one. Also fixes the Decoder's other finding in my corpus: BLOCKED's voice row had a struck heading with three sentences below still asserting in the present tense.

port: the dead-press check was passing by luck -- diagnosed and fixed
Two iterations ago verify-menu-audio's bit-identity assertion began failing and I filed three suspects in the port. It is none of them. Three IDENTICAL invocations give two outcomes, 1.207438 s and 1.300317 s, differing by exactly 4096 samples -- one mixing buffer. The recording quantises to whole buffers and a one-buffer shift moves the length and alignment of everything in it. The premise -- cross-run bit-determinism -- was never guaranteed. It held while timing sat away from a buffer boundary, and a larger export moved it onto one. A test that passes by luck reports the luck running out as a regression in the code, which is what it did: two iterations of suspects, and the port was never involved. The fix keeps exact equality and no threshold, allowing the comparison to slide by whole buffers -- the one degree of freedom the recorder has. Proved it can still fail: ctrl against walk differs at every alignment. Distinct from the earlier entries: this check ran and answered the right question, resting on a property of the environment nothing verified. State what an assertion assumes about the machine, not only what it checks.

The Decoder lost a finding whose only record was a script comment and asked whether I have the same. Audited every measurement-shaped token in comments across the exporter, the GDScript and the tools against everything in docs/. Seven candidates, six were my matcher (thousands separators, ranges written differently, precision). The findings are all in DECISIONS, including the leaf comment's capture-measured centres and the 11.5 px residual. The one real defect is the opposite: check-capture's control table and AUDIO-VERIFICATION.md had DRIFTED -- 53.3% against 53.2%, twice each, for one control whose file is gone so neither can be re-measured. They lost a finding to having one record; I lost a digit to having two with nothing keeping them equal. Fixed by citing rather than restating. Also corrects a message: I told them my computation reproduces their published centres to half a pixel. True, and MODEL against MODEL -- against the capture this corpus already records 992.0/467.2, an 11.5 px residual. The half-pixel agreement is two derivations of one model, the correlated-instrument shape I have been careful about all week and did not apply to my own message.

port: index DECISIONS.md -- it already answered last iteration's question
Last iteration I filed title and title_jp's disagreement with sylpheed-cli as mechanism-unknown, to the Decoder as well as here. Both were already explained in this file, under headings that name the two screens. Checked rather than assumed. title: still ties on 0x8083, 0x80a0 and 0x8010, and the export declares paint_order_ties unresolved; the old entry's 904 px in the glow band matches my 790 px at the same place, same 4-6/255 magnitude. title_jp: the 'only non-integer scale' claim finds 26 keyframes export-wide, but exactly ONE element visible at rest -- ptlogo_eff2 at 125% -- which is the pose verify-screen uses. It survives narrowly. The failure is navigability: 6502 lines, 111 sections, no index, so 'has this been decided?' had no cheap answer and re-deriving it looked like diligence. index-decisions generates the contents; check-all runs --check. No line numbers (the first version was a fixpoint that failed its own check, and appends would invalidate them all), and checked, because a stale index answers 'already decided?' with a confident no.

port: add check-all; verify-screen ignored its own statistic; 'six expected DIFFERS' was wrong
Eleven tools and nothing ran them together -- the ninth instance of correct, documented and unexercised, one level up. check-all runs the four that assert, reports the oracle table, and gives verify-screen an allowance that EXPIRES when the pin lands rather than standing forever. All eleven exercised first; none had rotted. verify-screen computed over3 because 'a single max cannot tell 2 pixels from 25 444' and then decided the verdict on max alone: main_menu (max 4, over3 0) read DIFFERS while extras (max 3, over3 0) read OK. The bar is unchanged; a frame with no pixel over it now gets its own ROUNDING verdict. And corrects a claim I have given the Decoder more than once. The real count was ten, now eight: six forced-backdrop, two rounding, and TWO UNEXPLAINED -- title at 790 px and title_jp at 20498, neither carrying a forced element. My leaf hypothesis is refuted: emptying draw_leaf_for changes the numbers not at all.

port: make the documented control sweep executable; it was prose
AUDIO-VERIFICATION.md calls its six-file sweep 'the tool's real specification' and nothing ran it -- in a tool whose own history is two invented thresholds caught only by controls. The same document states the principle it was breaking: a control that does not execute is not a control. tools/port/check-capture-controls rebuilds five of the six and asserts their verdicts. The starved capture is gone and is reported MISSING rather than omitted, and deliberately not synthesised from its published statistics -- a control fitted to the answer it must give is not a control. Two things the sweep had to learn to be honest about. check-capture emits TWO verdicts and the doc's table compresses them; the voice control is PASS on channels and UNJUDGED on starvation by design, so the sweep asserts the pair. And a starved file short-circuits before the channel check, recorded as n/a rather than FAIL -- the check did not run and the check failed are different facts. My first 'real music bed' control was -ac 6 from a stereo source and FAILED correctly: an upmix leaves channels silent and byte-identical, which is what the provenance check exists to catch. The control was wrong, not the tool. Rebuilt from six non-overlapping spans of real audio. A second attempt used aloop=-1 and hung ffmpeg indefinitely.

port: check the five MODDING rules, and label the generated files in the asset tree
MODDING.md calls modding a constraint on the exporter TODAY and nothing verified it -- the same shape as the black hold, skipped[], stop_bed and --focus. All five rules pass, so check-modding is a guard rather than a fix, and it is proved able to fail: a stripped .cmd header, a bogus.bmp, and one orphaned PNG each exit 1. It found one thing: the .cmd encode-cache sidecars sat in the modder-facing tree with nothing saying what they were. They now carry a header. The header is excluded from the cache key so rewording it does not re-encode four minutes of video, and the sidecar is refreshed whenever its text differs rather than only on re-encode -- otherwise a header change could never reach an existing export. Also partly answers my own question to the Decoder: there is no general capture-path floor, because the port matches live-title-press-a at 0.00093% full-frame and 0.000% across the band. The 0.301% is specific to that pair. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: place the last unused capture; its residual is oracle-to-oracle, not the port's
live-attract-title-press-a-band.png is 1279x120 and the harness could not compare a band. Placed by sliding: y=520, a 25x drop over five pixels, and it fits at t=236-238, the plate's own window. Its 0.354% is not the port's error. The port reproduces the same band of live-title-press-a EXACTLY (0.000%), and the two captures differ from each other by 0.301% -- two thin strips, 248x5 and 206x1, the shape of a sub-pixel edge difference. The row's job is to stay near the oracle-to-oracle gap, not reach zero, and it says so. I had begun writing that the attract-returned title differs from the boot title. It is two hairlines. The connected-component breakdown stopped it. All eight live captures are now used. The three that were idle were each blocked by the harness, not the capture.

port: --focus was ignored on the menu path; focus rendering now verified against the oracle
live-main-menu-options-focused.png -- the only capture of a known focus state -- was untestable because --focus= parsed, was stored, and was overwritten by the authored initial focus on every _menu_enter. Every run logged focus ptbtn01 whatever was asked for. Now pushed into the menu model so navigation continues from where it was forced. With it working, each capture picks out exactly one button: ptbtn04 at 0.1355% against 0.70-0.82% for the others on the OPTIONS capture, and ptbtn01 at 0.0705% against 0.72-0.84% on the plain one. 5x and 10x discrimination. First time the port's focus rendering has been checked against the game at all -- the existing main_menu row uses an authored focus and could never have caught a focus error. Records in flow.json that live-main-menu.png shows NEW GAME focused, so the authored initial_focus matches the one frame it can be checked against -- and that this does NOT overturn Q5's measured instability. It stays authored. Adds main_menu_options to verify-capture at 0.13%.

port: a second capture closes the sweep-geometry question; title+plate matches at 0.00093%
live-title-press-a.png was unused in the corpus. Posed at t=237 -- inside the plate's 8-unit window -- the port matches it at 0.00093%, against 0.0124% for the no-plate capture at leaf phase ~400. Two captures, two different phases, both under 0.013%: a systematic sweep-geometry error would leave a floor in both, so last iteration's caveat is closed. Sweeping the whole screen's instant against capture 1 gives at best 0.148% at t=230 -- 10x worse than the leaf-only fit. So that capture is the screen SETTLED with the sweeps still looping, which is the first independent evidence for the authored loop_leaf decision. Fixes the cause of a flat 1% floor: --screen=X --overlay=Y pushed the raw elapsed clock into the overlay (9 units at capture), so press_start drew nothing -- the flag whose purpose is 'put the plate on the title'. A static overlay now poses at its own arrival; the --boot shared clock is untouched. Adds title_plate to verify-capture at 0.00%, the most sensitive row in it. Its instant is FITTED and labelled as such. Also records that I nearly committed a wrong cause for the overlay bug: I wrote that nothing drives the overlay's clock outside a sequence. It is driven, every frame, from view.time_units. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: add --leaf-time, and the title's residual is the sweep phase (~400 units, not 357.7)
The Decoder's refined sweep fit had never been testable: verify-capture passed it as a whole-screen --time that pose_at discarded, and asking for it honestly poses past the title's group end. --leaf-time separates the leaf's clock from the screen's. Controls: the renderer is deterministic (3 runs bit-identical) and the sweeps move 0.40% of the frame between phases, so the comparison can see them. Sweeping the full 600-unit span gives a sharp basin at 390-415 units (0.0124%) against 0.2532% at t=357.7 -- 20x. So the title's 0.21% residual is the sweep phase, not structure: at the fitted phase it matches the capture as well as the splashes do. NOT adopted: the port loops the leaf freely and re-posing the harness to the fitted value would be tuning until they match. Filed instead, with the question of whether 357.7 and this are even the same quantity. Also verified last iteration's settle-window change was surgical: only press_start and its twin moved, 14 screens unchanged including title's Decoder-confirmed [160,236]. Settle-window ties exist on 4 screens but all sit under the 30-unit bar, so the arbitrary tie-break never reaches the runtime.

port: the PRESS (A) plate could not be drawn at any instant -- four faults, and a misquoted number
1. --time= was silently ignored on any screen with a settle window >= 30 units: pose_at overwrote the requested instant with settle_instant. ScreenView.frozen now marks an explicit instant and skips both clamps. 2. press_start's settle window was [0,214] -- the dead stretch BEFORE the plate exists -- so its settle instant was t=107, where the element is alpha 0. The exporter now rejects intervals in which nothing is visible. title keeps [160,236], the interval the Decoder's draw stream confirmed. 3. My authored looping_focus_records entry for press_start/ptbtn00 drew a dim focus record INSTEAD of the plate's own sprite: max 0 vs max 252.5. Deleted -- an authored guess that overrides a decode with a worse answer is removed. 4. verify-capture passed --time=5.9617 for the title and it was never applied. Every title figure it has printed, including the 0.26% quoted to the Decoder, was measured at the settle instant under a note claiming t=357.7. Both rows now pose by omission and the note matches. title is 0.21% honestly; splashes unchanged at 0.01%. The boot's end artifact now contains the plate (region mean 95.7 vs 33.6). Corrects last iteration's BLOCKED row, which had the entry's effect backwards.

port: P6 gate verified with sound on the bus; tighten the backdrop guard to a positive primitive test
verify-menu-audio records the Master bus over the P5 walk under the Dummy driver. A dead press is bit-identical to the bed alone; all three cues match their exported wave in the recording with margin over a bed-only control; the cue order matches the script order, which the correlator was never told. The first version of this tool counted envelope bursts above a multiple of the bed and gave 4 cues on one run and 0 on the next from the same script. Replaced with template matching, which has no tuned constant. Cue LENGTH is deliberately not asserted -- the bed masks the tail and I nearly filed that as a defect. Also acts on the Decoder's .tbm self-refutation. No port verdict is affected -- all six forced elements are .prm solid black, and GP_TITLE has no full-screen .tbm at all -- but the guard was sprite.is_none(), a symptom test of the same shape as the one they say fixed their symptom not their cause. Now role == primitive. Six verdicts identical, 16 screens validate.

port: the title's sweeps loop, the black hold is 9 units, and one claim refuted
THREE THINGS FROM THE DECODER, one of which I am not taking. REFUTED: "the developer splash is one composited quad, the bounding box of the three logos". The observed quad is 525x259 at (378,155). The three logos' bounding box is 500x421 at (390,164) -- a 259-tall quad CANNOT contain them, and palogo_anima alone starts at y=449, thirty-five pixels below that quad's bottom edge. The observed quad matches the union of gamearts_eff and seta_eff, 521x261 at (379,154), to about four pixels in every dimension -- and both of those are TRANSIENTS my own census flagged, dark by t=45, so a frame containing that quad is a build-in frame rather than the settled screen. I cannot see their draw stream, so I sent the arithmetic rather than a verdict, and the port keeps drawing three: I will not stop drawing an element on a claim whose stated identification excludes that element from its own bounding box. THE BLACK HOLD IS 9 UNITS, NOT 12. I authored 12 from Q7's luminance plateau of 0.17-0.23 s, supported by the menus' transition quad. The Decoder counted SUBMITTED QUADS instead -- luminance cannot separate the outgoing fade's tail from true black. Four frames with no sprite quad at all, at 2.284 units/frame derived from the disc as its own clock, gives 9.1 units = 0.152 s (6.9-11.4). That overlaps the luminance figure only at the top, and the true black is SHORTER still since both boundary frames carry picture. My 12 was supported by analogy -- a different screen's quad on a different path -- and a number that fits by analogy loses to one measured in place. verify-dwell's bound moved with it; both screens still agree. THE TITLE'S SWEEPS LOOP. The oracle shows the quad oscillating over its whole x range and resetting hard, one reset in the first title dwell and two in the second. The loop-length field could NOT have settled it, correcting a hope I had stated: both records declare exactly their last keyframe time, slack zero, and "loops at 600" and "runs once for 600 and stops" write the identical header. Verified on the two sweeps' LCM, since their periods differ: 600 and 720 realign at 3600 units, mean diff 0, against 0.438 at half that. Scoped to the title. The menus declare the same lengths but the oracle measurement is of the title, and my own weak evidence points the other way there -- best match with the sweeps off-screen, three times worse mid-screen, against a 73% on-screen duty cycle if they looped. Two weak signals in opposite directions is a reason to scope, not to pick.

port: delete exit_ramp_units, invert the format's own rule, and guard a scale-0 leaf
FOUR THINGS, and the first is what MISSION section 3 calls the measure of
progress.
DELETED `exit_ramp_units` AND `exit_ramp_seconds`. They were authored because the
disc had no time slot on a group's final keyframe, so the ramp into it was the
one unknown duration per screen. Under the corrected record layout that keyframe
does not exist -- a group is an 8-byte header then frames x {u32 time; 36-byte
pose} and every pose is timed. VERIFIED DEAD BEFORE DELETING: setting it to 9999
(166 s) moved the boot's transitions by 0.04 s, which is wall-clock jitter, and
both uses in ScreenView are gated on a condition that no longer fires on any of
the export's 866 keyframes.
INVERTED THE FORMAT'S OWN RULE. `check.rs` enforced "the final keyframe has no
`t`; the disc has no time slot there" and FORMAT.md stated it. Both are now
backwards, and the validator fired 150 times on a re-export. I had not run
`check` between pinning the tag and measuring against the oracle -- the pixel
harness was green while the format validator was failing on every screen with a
multi-keyframe group. A correctness harness does not replace a format one; they
fail at different layers.
GUARDED A SCALE-0 LEAF, which the Decoder hit in its own renderer: its leaf
branch marked the element drawn unconditionally while the blit returned early on
zero scale, so a scale-0 leaf suppressed its parent and blanked the element --
live on all four loading screens. This port did not have the bug only because
authored/rendering.json happens not to list pgloading_loop5. That is an accident
of a gate written for another reason, not a defence, so `_draw_leaf` now reports
whether it drew and `_draw` falls back to the parent.
ISOLATED THE PACING QUESTION rather than leaving it as a suspected regression.
Legacy association: publisher 4.70 agrees, developer 3.92 DIFFERS. Corrected:
publisher 4.26 DIFFERS, developer 3.62 agrees. Both misses are ~0.03 s outside a
composite bound. The association traded which screen is marginally out; it did
not regress the pacing.
Bumped the pin c -> d for the parser and audio changes. Its headline renderer
change does not reach this port: sylpheed-cli builds from the workspace crate.

port: the 11.5 px was the fit's resolution -- and the lesson inverts
The Decoder closed it by ADDING OBSERVABLES, not by tuning. The vertex buffer carries positions and colours at the same instant, so all four quantities must agree on one t: quad A x solves to 357.88 and quad B x to 357.58, both +/-0.12 units, against 355.75 +/-1.54 and 354.09 +/-1.89 from the alphas. Alpha moves only 0.27-0.33 levels per unit, so one byte of quantisation is worth 1.5-1.9 units -- 6-8 px of sweep at 4 px/unit. That is the whole of the 11.5 px. At t=357.7 the centres land within 0.70 px and both alphas inside one level. THE LESSON IS THE EARLIER ONE INVERTED AND IT IS THE HALF WORTH KEEPING. Checking a wrong rule against alpha made it look confirmed; here the same insensitivity MANUFACTURED a residual that did not exist. An insensitive quantity does not merely fail to falsify -- it invents error. Solve on the fastest-moving field, check the slow one, never the reverse. I was already looking for a pivot rule to explain 11.5 px when they wrote; there was nothing to find. REFUTATION ATTEMPT, survived with a nuance: they state the leaf pivot is (200,90) on a 399x180 sprite, "the pivot is the centre, so rotation displaces it by nothing". Checked against my export -- pivot [200,90], sprite 399x180, true centre 199.5,90. It survives, but the sprite is ODD-WIDTH so the pivot is the centre to within half a pixel rather than exactly. No consequence against their 0.70 px agreement; worth stating because "displaces it by nothing" is the kind of sentence that later gets leaned on for a sub-pixel claim. verify-capture now poses the title at t=357.7 rather than 355: RMSE 21.07 -> 20.92, differing 1.82% -> 1.81%. Marginal, and it is the right pose for a stated reason rather than a better number. AND ptlogo_eff2 IS WITHHELD FOR A BETTER REASON THAN MINE. I had it on caution about untested generalisation; the Decoder points out it is on title_jp and MISSION section 7 scopes out "localisation beyond English", so it is not a question this port has to answer and the parked Japanese capture does not need reviving for it. authored/rendering.json now gives scope first and undecidability second. Widening scope to close a residual would have been the wrong trade.

port: pin formats-pin-2026-08-29c -- the knob I tested last iteration was retired
I tested the wrong switch. SYLPHEED_KF_TIME_SHIFT is a superseded partial fix: it
got the association right but LEFT POSE 0 UNTIMED, which is exactly why the
untimed keyframe appeared to move from last to first. The real correction is the
DEFAULT in the tagged crate, with the old reading behind SYLPHEED_KF_TIME_LEGACY.
So last iteration's five rows measured a mismatch against a knob nobody should
use -- I suspected they were not decisive, I did not suspect the knob was retired.
THE CONSEQUENCE IS MUCH SMALLER THAN I BUDGETED. A placement group is an 8-byte
header then frames x {u32 time; 36-byte pose}, so pose 0's time is the group's
lead-in word and every pose is timed. Measured on the re-export: 866 keyframes,
0 untimed. `pose_at`'s "the final keyframe carries no t, so give it a synthetic
time" premise does not invert, it DISAPPEARS -- dead code rather than wrong code,
which is why nothing needed re-deriving. And the leaf now reads t=0 x=-639,
t=150 x=-39, t=540 x=1521, giving x=781 at t=355: the Decoder's predicted
top-left, and the 1300 px discrepancy is gone.
Pinned by tag, which is what MISSION section 2's tagging rule is for. BLOCKED was
wrong in both directions -- "cannot be taken yet" AND "only when that branch lands
on main". It arrives when the tag is pinned.
COST STATED: sylpheed-cli builds from the workspace crate, so until this reaches
main the exporter and the reference renderer read different decoders and
verify-screen compares two eras. verify-capture is unaffected -- it compares
against oracle captures and never touches the CLI. Revert to the path dependency
when the tag is an ancestor of main.
Oracle: publisher_logo 1.00% -> 0.75%, developer_logos 0.39% -> 0.33%, and
extras' differing region COLLAPSING from 736x525 to 398x295 at the sweep position
-- the residual localised onto the one element still in question. title unchanged
at 1.82%, now posed at t=355, the Decoder's FITTED sweep time. t=390 measures
1.65% and picking it would be fitting the pose to the score.
REFUTED, MINE: "ptlogo_eff2 is the single drawn element at a scale that is not a
whole multiple of 100%". That census was parents-only; the 45 leaves hold
thirteen distinct non-whole-multiple scales and 125% is among the rarest at two.
The claim's real content was "the only one the port draws" -- about my element
set, not the disc.

port: S00A is closed as not obtainable, and Q5's shape is tighter than "unstable"
Three things folded in from the Decoder, none of which change the export. S00A IS NOT OBTAINABLE HERE and it is the game that stops it, not the drive. The drive works end to end -- main menu +0.999, newgame-difficulty +0.999, newgame-selectdata-crash +0.997, with the focus detector validated live against a known transition rather than trusted -- and then the guest throws at PC: 0x82307128 x349 with no S00A stream ever decoding. Recorded in BLOCKED as a route finding, with the consequence for me stated: THE CENTRE-CHANNEL RESULT RESTS ON ADV ALONE. S00A was wanted precisely because its second stream is digital silence where ADV's is a 0.60x copy. Q5 GAINED TWO POINTS and the shape is sharper than "it varies": TUTORIAL x3, NEW GAME x3 over six boots, and no other item ever observed. That does not change the port's authored initial focus -- NEW GAME is still one of exactly two observed states and is the state of the committed capture -- but it changes what would REFUTE it, so the authored `why` now says so: a boot opening on LOAD GAME, OPTIONS or EXTRAS breaks the two-way shape, and a rule predicting the split deletes the entry outright. `which-focus` NEEDS GODOT AND THE EXPORT TREE, so it cannot run in the RE container. Recorded in its own header rather than left for the next agent to discover, along with the pointer to the capture-only alternative and that tool's own caveat: its offline controls are its calibration inputs, which is self-consistency and not validation.

port: which-focus -- a focus detector for the Decoder, with the control wired in
S00A is blocked on knowing which button a screenshot has focused. `newgame_path.sh` assumed NEW GAME at boot, drove on it, and landed in a tutorial mission -- HANDOFF Q5 measured focus as UNSTABLE across boots. Counting presses cannot substitute: up from the first item wraps to the last, so no fixed number of presses lands on a known item from an unknown start. The Decoder's own attempt, a per-row brightness statistic, FAILED the control -- it picked NEW GAME on the capture whose filename says OPTIONS. The render-difference method passes it, so this packages it as a script. IT RUNS THE CONTROL ON EVERY INVOCATION, not once when it was written, and refuses to report anything if the control fails. live-main-menu-options-focused KNOWN ANSWER OPTIONS 4.7x live-main-menu the question NEW GAME 11.4x live-extras KNOWN from corpus MISSION SELECT 4.2x live-title-press-a no menu at all refuses 1.0x The extras row is a second known answer I did not plant -- authored/flow.json already records "MEASURED: EXTRAS opens focused on MISSION SELECT (live-extras.png)" -- and the tool reaches it independently. The title row is the negative control. AND THE REFUSAL NOW CARRIES A NON-ZERO EXIT CODE. The first version printed "do not act on this" and exited 0, so a caller scripting it -- which is the entire point -- would have read a refusal as an answer. Same defect as a checker claiming a check it skipped, and the fifth instance of that shape this session. What it is not: it identifies focus in ONE FRAME and says nothing about what selects focus. Q5's instability stands. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: the capture has NEW GAME focused, and my harness had been rendering no focus
The Decoder attached an honest caveat to its reproduction of the tone-curve
refutation -- its bins included the focus-state mismatch, so it was "not a clean
second opinion". Removing that caveat found a defect of mine.
IDENTIFYING THE FOCUSED BUTTON, with a known-answer control. Walking focus
through all five buttons and comparing each against a capture:
vs -options-focused vs live-main-menu
ptbtn01 NEW GAME 6351 531
ptbtn02 LOAD GAME 7087 7094
ptbtn03 TUTORIAL 6230 6237
ptbtn04 OPTIONS 1292 6364
ptbtn05 EXTRAS 6073 6080
The control picks OPTIONS by 4.7x -- the answer its own filename gives -- so the
test is trustworthy, and live-main-menu.png has NEW GAME focused by 11.5x. That
is what the port already focuses. Corroboration, NOT a decode: Q5's instability
stands (four boots gave TUTORIAL, TUTORIAL, NEW GAME, NEW GAME) and this
identifies one frame rather than a rule. Recorded in the authored entry.
THE DEFECT: `verify-capture` rendered menus with `--screen=`, which draws no
focus record, so it had been comparing main_menu to the oracle in a state the
oracle was never in.
main_menu 0.25% differing, RMSE 14.79 -> 0.06%, RMSE 13.21
extras 0.46%, RMSE 15.29 -> 0.20%, RMSE 13.38
A 4x improvement that was entirely my harness posing the port wrong rather than
the port drawing wrong. The first run of a new correctness harness reported a
discrepancy and three quarters of it was the harness.
AND THE DECODER'S CAVEAT RESOLVES TO NOTHING, measured rather than assumed:
re-deriving the transfer curve on the correctly-posed pair gives 1.20 / 1.26 /
1.18 / 1.10 / 1.03 / 0.94 at render 8..48, unchanged from the mismatched run. Its
reproduction stands as a second opinion after all.

port: build the correctness harness verify-screen has pointed at since P1
`tools/port/verify-screen` line 20 has said "use `tools/verify-capture` for the
correctness question" since P1, and there was no such file. The port has had a
harness comparing itself to sylpheed-cli -- two renderers sharing its assumptions
-- and none comparing it to the game, while its own docs said otherwise. That gap
is what ORACLE-CAPTURES.md warns about: this corpus has been bitten three times
by two renderers agreeing, and every one was obvious against a capture.
Five screens against framebuffer captures of the real game:
main_menu RMSE 14.79 0.25% differing focus state may differ
extras RMSE 15.29 0.46% focus state may differ
title RMSE 21.07 1.82% ptloop sweeps never stop
publisher_logo RMSE 10.77 1.00%
developer_logos RMSE 9.37 0.39%
NO SCREEN SHOWS A LARGE CONNECTED BLOB -- the shape a missing element makes, and
the shape all three historical failures made.
And 74.1% of main_menu's differing pixels fall inside the ORACLE'S OWN focus
signature (live-main-menu vs live-main-menu-options-focused, the same screen with
a different button lit). So the bulk of that disagreement is a state mismatch,
not a defect.
REFUTATION ATTEMPT, on ui-render-tone-curve.md's `capture = 255*(render/255)^g`.
It survives where it was measured and not past it. Binning every structurally
matched pixel by render level gives the relationship directly, and the implied
exponent is NOT constant: 1.26 at render 16, 1.10 at 32, crossing 1.0 near 44,
down to 0.69 at 96. Above ~44 the capture is BRIGHTER than the render, which one
exponent cannot express -- and that is exactly why my whole-frame fits kept
returning 1.00, the two halves cancelling. The page's own stated reach ("nothing
constrains midtones or highlights") was not a hedge, it was the finding. Its 1.49
for this screen measures 1.18-1.26 in my darks; recorded as a disagreement rather
than resolved, since they fit selected flat patches and I binned everything.
Two earlier versions of this tool reported a best-fit gamma and were wrong both
times -- once fitting across a 74% structural mismatch, once extrapolating past
the measurement's stated reach. The fix was not a better fit but a different
instrument: it prints the curve, which somebody can argue with.

port: stripping driver padding is exact -- the gate on S00A is cleared
The Decoder made this the gate on S00A and that was the right order: ADV plays itself on boot and can be captured with --gpu=null at 0.96x real time, but S00A starts ~4.5 s after (A) on a save slot, which needs a driven run, which needs screens, which rules out --gpu=null. So S00A is necessarily the 0.70x rendered route with ~10% additive padding, and is only worth a boot if stripping is exact. It is. A real music+SFX bed -- 137.37 s, carrying 454 genuine zero runs of its own -- had 1149 holes inserted at 8.37/s to +9.9% length, matching the observed ALSA profile, then was stripped and correlated in the low band: original vs itself r 1.000 lag 0.0 s margin +0.141 ceiling PADDED vs original r 0.436 lag -12.2 s margin +0.006 destroyed STRIPPED vs original r 1.000 lag 0.0 s margin +0.142 recovered stripped vs orig-also-stripped r 1.000 margin +0.143 Two things worth reading off that. Padding at that profile destroys correlation completely -- r 0.436 in the known-absent regime -- which independently confirms on a file whose contents I control that the earlier captures were unusable for the reason claimed and not for some other one. And recovery does NOT require stripping both sides: the stripped capture matches the UNSTRIPPED source at the ceiling, so the port's reference assets never need touching. `tools/port/strip-padding` implements it, and its header leads with when the operation is vandalism rather than with what it does: PulseAudio's monitor SUBSTITUTES silence and deleting those holes repairs nothing, while Xenia's ALSA writer PADS and removing that is exact. Running it on the wrong artefact would look like it worked. Its output is byte-identical to the control's own stripping, so the tool and the experiment are one operation rather than two implementations that agree. Not licensed by this: stripping removes genuine silence too and cannot tell them apart. Here the genuine runs total 0.71 s in 137 s and cost nothing measurable; on material that is mostly silence they would.

port: check-capture refuses a format it cannot read, and accepts the one it nearly rejected
The Decoder is moving to an ALSA `type file` tee, which writes float32. Read as s16 that yields a plausible-looking file whose only tell is per-channel peaks alternating exactly -- the two halves of each float landing in alternate channels. My parser assumed s16 throughout and would have mis-read it confidently. An unreadable format now ends the run at PARTIAL (exit 2) rather than PASS: channels were checked, starvation was not, and the tool says which. A checker that claims a check it skipped is the shape of every failure this file documents. AND THE FIRST VERSION OF THE GUARD WAS TOO STRICT -- it rejected one of this tool's own controls, a six-tone file `ffprobe` correctly calls pcm_s16le, because the file is WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE (tag 0xFFFE) rather than plain PCM. A format guard that refuses a legitimate capture is the same defect as one that mis-reads an illegitimate one, pointing the other way. The check turns on wBitsPerSample, which is what decides the layout; a float tee is 32-bit and still caught. Control sweep, now the tool's real specification and all of it runnable here: real music+SFX bed PASS voice track, mono, 53% real pauses PASS six distinct tones, PCM and extensible PASS bed with 350 ms holes punched in FAIL the starved capture FAIL the same tones as float32 PARTIAL Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: check-capture needed two numbers -- the rate alone passed a 50%-silent file
The Decoder found a blind spot in the bar I shipped last iteration. Raising the PulseAudio client buffer keeps cutting the gap RATE while total silence bottoms out and then doubles -- an over-large buffer starves in a few enormous holes instead of many small ones. Its 500 ms capture scores 1.3 gaps/s, better than a genuine music bed at 3.3, while being 50% silence. My 20/s bar passed it. Same shape as the level table that cannot see a duplicated channel: one number, blind to the failure next door. I did not set a bar on their numbers, because I do not hold those files and the last two bars in this tool were wrong precisely from being invented. Instead I built a control in that regime -- `bigholes`, a real bed with 350 ms holes punched in -- and set the rule from four controls I can run: real music+SFX bed 1.1% silence, 3.3 gaps/s PASS voice track, mono, pauses 53.2% silence, 0.3 gaps/s PASS bed with 350 ms holes 46.3% silence, 3.2 gaps/s FAIL the starved capture 35.6% silence, 30.9 gaps/s FAIL Rate alone cannot separate rows 2 and 3; silence alone cannot separate 1 and 3. The pair does: fail when >=10% is silent on every channel AND there is at least one gap per second. Real audio is either mostly not silent, or silent in a few long stretches -- not both at once. AND THE REGIME IT STILL CANNOT JUDGE IS PRINTED RATHER THAN PASSED. High silence with very few gaps is what a real voice track looks like and what an over-buffered capture looks like; nothing here separates them, so the tool says UNJUDGED and tells the reader to check against a known source. Inventing a bar for a regime with no control in it is how the previous two bars came to be wrong. A CONTROL THAT DOES NOT EXECUTE IS NOT A CONTROL: the tool returned immediately for single-channel input, so the mono voice track -- one of the four controls -- was never run through the check it was meant to control. Mono now skips only the duplicate test. Also recorded: the Decoder has withdrawn "the monitor-sink route cannot be fixed by configuration". A ~200 ms client buffer is worth a retry BEFORE anyone spends a session on a Canary rebuild.

port: make the dwell comparison repeatable, and record that the settle run is unanchored
TWO THINGS, and the first is that nothing needed changing. The Decoder withdrew one of the two legs under its settle-time run: the plate pulse period it had offered as proof the run was not slowed rests on one interval at a 125 ms sample rate, and re-picking the troughs gives 2.628 s rather than 2.369 -- an adjacent local minimum counted as a separate trough. It cannot resolve a real-time factor below ~7%. Nothing in the port moves, because the numbers that correction touches were already unauthored. Checked rather than remembered: grep over authored/ and port/scripts/ finds no 0.531 and no 0.482. The only build-in reference in the tree is the plate arithmetic t=118 -> t=238, 120 units, which is the anchored leg -- it agrees with three prior readings and with the disc's own declaration. I had declined those two as one-run figures the Decoder itself flagged, with the port already within ~0.1 s from the disc's keyframes. That reasoning now has a second, independent justification I did not have at the time: a few per cent of slowdown sits inside them undetected. SECOND: `tools/port/verify-dwell`. Last iteration's hand comparison refuted a red flag I had filed myself -- `rest.t` is the wrong settle landmark, but "everything the sequencer paces off it is therefore late" was false and I nearly re-paced screens that already matched the game to 0.05 s. That check existed once, in a transcript. Now it runs. Its header carries the trap it exists to prevent, because that is the whole point: a port's TRANSITION TIMESTAMPS and the oracle's VISIBLE SPANS are not the same quantity, and differ by the exit ramp plus the black hold -- about 0.6 s, the entire discrepancy. The same confusion cost this corpus 0.48 s on the plate delay. The bar is the oracle's own run-to-run spread plus one film interval. Three cold boots of the real game differ by 0.3 s, so agreeing more tightly than the oracle agrees with itself would mean nothing. The developer-logo span reads 3.50 s on the hand-run and 3.75 s here, one interval apart and both inside the bar -- the tool reporting its resolution rather than hiding it. The oracle's numbers are in the script as a labelled test fixture citing their RE document; nothing in the port derives them.

port: check-capture passed a file that was 36% holes -- it now catches starvation
The Decoder diagnosed take 2 as a STARVED capture and I verified it here rather
than take it on trust: 35.6% of frames silent on all six channels, 10482
alternating runs, median burst 13.5 ms and gap 3.9 ms, a 17.4 ms period at 57 Hz.
Their untruncated original reads 39.3% and 10595 runs; the difference is exactly
the truncation and every other number agrees.
So my rebuilt correlator was working correctly on a file that could not carry the
signal. The alarming reading it produced -- that the game may not play the .wmv's
WMA track, so ADV.ogv's audio has been wrong since P4 -- is NOT SUPPORTED by this
capture and is not refuted either. Withdrawn as a concern arising from evidence,
with nothing changed in either direction. It was the most expensive-to-act-on
hypothesis in the port and it came from a file that could not speak to it.
THE REAL DEFECT WAS MINE: `check-capture` tested only for duplicated channels, so
it cleared a recording that was 36% holes. A provenance check that passes the
artefact it was built in response to is not a check.
It now measures starvation, and TWO THRESHOLDS I INVENTED WERE BOTH WRONG:
counting exact-zero frames -- real audio crosses zero constantly, so a clean
voice track scored 5947 "gaps" of median 0.0 ms and was called starved. A gap
is a RUN, not a sample; only runs over 1 ms count.
gap count and median length -- a genuine music bed shows 454 gaps at a median
of 1.4 ms, because quiet 16-bit passages really are zero for milliseconds.
What separates them is the RATE: 32.9 gaps/s starved, 3.3 for a real bed, 0.03
for a voice track that is 53% pauses. Bar at 20/s, derived from those controls
rather than chosen and then justified. Controlled both directions: real stereo
bed PASS, six distinct tones PASS, starved capture FAIL. It also reports a `data`
chunk declaring 0 bytes -- what a file copied mid-write looks like, which is what
happened.
VOICE CHANNEL ROLES ARE NOT OBTAINABLE THIS SESSION. Both routes closed: the
monitor sink is starved by construction, and the internal tap at
SDLAudioDriver::SubmitFrame needs a Canary rebuild the Decoder has costed at a
whole session. That is the human's call, not an agent's. The port keeps authoring
with the known recorded.

port: a capture must pass a provenance check before anyone analyses it
The 6-channel capture I spent an iteration refuting was corrupt, and the Decoder found the cause: PulseAudio remapping between two mismatched channel maps, where a 6-channel remap SILENTLY DROPS AND DUPLICATES. Its control -- six channels, six tones, same sink, same parec -- came back 400/3200/200/800/800/200 for an input of 400/800/200/1600/3200/6400. Two source channels gone entirely. So the negative was right, and the byte-identical pair I reported was the thread that unravelled it. Worth recording precisely, because it nearly went unreported: it began as an idle look at two channels whose peak AND RMS matched to six decimals, and it only became evidence because a coincidence at six decimals is cheaper to hash than to explain. `tools/port/check-capture` makes that check one command -- split the file, hash every channel, fail on any duplicate pair -- and AUDIO-VERIFICATION.md gains a section 5 saying to run it FIRST, every time, plus the two conditions the same incident produced: start the recorder before the process, and log what was on screen against the recording's own clock so a miss is diagnosable. Controlled both directions, because a checker nobody controlled is what this incident is about: six distinct tones PASS; the remap's own output pattern FAILS naming all four pairs; the corrupt capture FAILS on ch2 == ch5. THE KNOWN-BAD CONTROL IS THE POINT. All six of its channels report a peak of -18.063656 dB, identical to six decimals, while containing three duplicate pairs. A level check cannot see this failure. That is why the tool hashes rather than measures, and why the corrupt capture's "plausible per-channel levels" were never evidence. The tool says of itself that it is necessary, not sufficient. Withdrawn with the file, both the Decoder's: "all six channels carry signal", and the non-zero-surround observation offered as weak support for 5.1. Unaffected: the three-XMA-context concurrency result, read from the emulator's log rather than the audio path, on two independent boots. The corrupt file is dropped from the exchange so the next agent cannot pick it up and repeat the work. Nothing in the export changed.

port: the game decodes all three voice streams at once, and two baseline rows were comparing blank frames
TWO FINDINGS, one mine and one handed to me, and the second retires a premise I built on twice. THE P1 BASELINE HAD ROWS THAT PROVED NOTHING. `build_12` and `build_15` render pure black in BOTH renderers -- mean 0, max 0 -- so the difference is zero and `verify-screen` scored them `max 0 over3 0 OK`, the strongest verdict it has. Two of sixteen rows were comparing nothing against nothing. Worse than a missing test, because a missing test is visible in the count. Cause isolated by a control, not by reading: `build_00`/`build_01` are the same loading screen minus three elements and render fine (mean 1.913, max 214.5). The dressed variants add `pgloading_eff00`, a 1280x720 primitive resting OPAQUE BLACK at t=38 inside its own opening black hold, with no layer key so paint order puts it last. The rule I was about to write -- "rest.t before the last timed keyframe is the pathology" -- was killed by running the census first: 152 of 212 elements in this export have rest.t earlier than their last timed keyframe. It is the norm. What is actually unusual is the CONTENT, and its reach is one: `pgloading_eff00` is the only element in the export whose resting pose is a fully opaque full-frame quad. One instance is not a rule, so the renderer is unchanged and the HARNESS is fixed: a blank pair now reports BLANK -- both renderers drew nothing; this row proves nothing. `status` is untouched, so an unrelated DIFFERS still fails. THE VOICE EXPORT IS KNOWN INCOMPLETE. The Decoder booted Canary with --xma_param_probe and the game decodes ALL THREE streams CONCURRENTLY, in three XMA contexts whose byte sizes match the disc payloads exactly. So "three presentations of one take, pick one" is refuted by the running game and the question I had been arguing -- WHICH presentation -- has no answer. This one no census could have caught. Every measurement was right: the streams are equal-duration, one is silence, one is 0.60x another with the residual 26.8 dB down. The frame around them was wrong, and the file says ChannelMask 0x0002 on all three. It took the running game -- which is the mission's own sentence arriving in practice. BEHAVIOUR HELD DELIBERATELY. An equal-gain 1/n sum of channel pairs is not a downmix either -- MISSION section 6 pins an explicit matrix for exactly that reason -- and summing cost S00A 6.02 dB when one stream was silence. Swapping one guess for another on a message is what produced this entry twice. What changed is that the wrongness is now LOUD, because this failure sounds like success: one stream is clean audible dialogue. A top-level manifest warning per movie, the console line, and the authored entry all say `1 of 3 streams`. "They are 5.1" is recorded as the Decoder's HYPOTHESIS with its own counter-evidence attached, and nothing builds on it. What settles it is asked: a recording of the game's own output over ADV through the null sink, which turns channel roles into a fit against an oracle. Refutation attempt, survived: the Decoder's loading-screen variant map. Entries 0/1 carry 7 elements and 12/15 carry those seven plus baseeff, eff00 and loop5 -- exact in count and identity, and it is what made build_00 a control.

audio: actually install the capture path I kept deferring
Some checks failed
The audio work was three parts and I shipped two. The transcode-fidelity method and the pinned 5.1 downmix landed; the null sink -- the only one that answers "what does the GAME play" -- I deferred to "the next natural rebuild window" and then rebuilt both images four times without doing it. pulseaudio-utils is now in both, with tools/audio-capture wrapping it: a null sink is a real device as far as an application is concerned, so Canary and Godot open it normally and parec records what they emit. This unblocks the decoder's Q8. The cue-to-event bindings are currently a name match against the authors' own identifiers -- a plausible guess, not a measurement -- and capturing what the game plays on a menu move converts them. `audio-capture run` reports the peak level and warns when the capture is silent, because silence is the failure that looks like success: a WAV of exactly the right duration, full of zeroes, because the application opened a different sink. A duration check alone passes it, which is how a confident wrong number gets made. |

agents: the team protocol, the share tool, and a player's-eye navigation doc
Some checks failed
**navigation.md rewritten from the player's chair.** It was written from the inside out -- GamePart ids, pak names, sprite names -- which is how WE find things, not what the game shows anyone. Now it describes what is on screen, what you press and what happens, with internals as footnotes. Most rows are open on purpose: it exists to be filled in by playing, and the in-game tutorials are the resource for the flight half. **tools/share** gives transient files provenance without giving them history. Three kinds of thing were travelling down one channel with opposite needs: code and decoded knowledge want permanence, cited evidence wants permanence, and "look at this PNG" wants no history at all. The third kind bloats a repository forever; passing it by message is worse, because the receiver gets bytes with no idea which build produced them. `share put` records who, when, what, the sender's commit, and whether their tree was dirty -- because a capture taken from a modified tree cannot be reproduced from the sha, and the receiver deserves to know that before building an argument on it. **docs/agents/PROTOCOL.md** is the contract. The parts that matter: Dynamic RE stays with the Decoder -- most of what is open is behavioural and cannot be answered from the file. What the planned Referee adds is different: bias enters at what you CHOOSE to capture, so a corpus captured to a fixed protocol by someone with no hypothesis is worth more than one captured to settle an argument. A message may point, ask, prioritise and challenge. It may not change scope, redefine ground truth, or carry a finding instead of writing it down -- including a message claiming to relay the human, because a relayed instruction has no evidence attached and this project has watched a wrong belief travel further and faster than its correction. Adversarial duty is explicit: every iteration, try to refute one claim of another agent and record the attempt either way. Run your own instrument through a control first. Disagreements go to the human with both positions, not to whoever is more certain. And no agent may verify its way out of its own role: the Port has no oracle, the Decoder builds nothing, the Referee interprets nothing. |

monorepo: one repository for the decoders, the port and the corpus
Some checks failed
Merges the Godot port into the reverse-engineering repository, preserving both
histories -- 1019 commits of corpus plus the port's 31, brought in by subtree
merge and then moved into place so git can follow each file across the rename.
The reason is not tidiness. The two-repo split forced the exporter to depend on
the decoders by pinned revision, and that created a whole class of failure that
now disappears: a sha reachable only from a topic branch, orphaned by a
squash-merge, breaking a fresh checkout silently at build time. It also forced a
live read-only mount of one agent's working tree into another's container, which
is why a contract file could move mid-iteration. With a path dependency, a
decoder change and the exporter change it requires land in the same commit or
not at all.
Canary stays separate: it is a fork tracking upstream.
New structure for the long term:
docs/game/ how the game is NAVIGATED -- menus, modals, prompts, alerts,
and in-game flight. Written so nobody rediscovers it. Mostly
open questions on purpose; the in-game tutorials are the
resource for the flight half.
docs/port/MODDING.md
modding as a constraint on the exporter TODAY, not a later
feature: one logical asset in one file (the disc splits nearly
everything, and resolving that is the exporter's job), names a
person recognises, PNG/OGG/OGV/JSON only, base-and-overrides so
re-exporting is always safe, provenance in every file.
data/base + data/mods
generated tree and drop-in overrides, both gitignored
exchange/ transient inter-agent files, deliberately outside history
docs/agents/ the team protocol
Both the README and the navigation doc lead with the correction that cost the
most: the oracle is the real game under Xenia Canary. Reborn's renderer is a
hypothesis under test, it has been wrong, and treating it as ground truth
propagated into three documents and both agents before a human caught it.
Scripted modding stays possible without being built: no screen name is hardcoded
in GDScript and there is no native code in port/, which is what Godot Mod Loader
needs to be able to substitute behaviour later.

re(ui): the 60 nameless RATC children are frames, not children -- .tan decoded
Closes the reach caveat the `opt ` name fix left behind: 60 of 18 002 RATC children carry no `opt ` block, and it was not established whether they lack one or sit past our 128-byte window. Neither. They are not children. `examples/ratc_optless_children.rs` re-runs `ratc::parse`'s own guards over the disc and reports which one fired: all 60 are "tag beyond the window", none is rejected by length, gap or charset, none is child #0, and all 60 live in six bundles of one archive. Within a bundle the distances back to the nearest tag are an exact arithmetic progression, step 60 600 -- ten different records finding the SAME tag, because there is only one. Reading a bundle directly: children 1..10 are equal-size T8aD blocks under a single `opt ` name, `pb_f15_eg_anm.tan`. `.tan` is a FRAME SEQUENCE. One block declares the resource; its payload is a run of T8aD frames. Disc-wide, over all 18 718 `opt ` names in all 33 paks: a RATC bundle names exactly six kinds of resource -- `.t32` 14 756, `.rat` 3 311, `.prm` 367, `.tbm` 224, `.sbo` 54, `.tan` 6. Six `.tan`, ten frames each = 60, the entire population with nothing left over. The negative is closed, not narrowed. Consequence recorded but deliberately not fixed: `ratc::parse` over-reports there, listing a `.tan`'s frames as anonymous children. Nothing in the menu milestone reads a `.tan` -- it occurs only in GP_READY_ROOM, which S1 ruled out -- so no screen the port draws changes. Also a METHOD entry for this container OOM-killing `slb_leading_segment_disc` under default test parallelism (SIGKILL, no assertion; 8/8 pass with --test-threads=1). |
