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.

retro: tick §7.1 -- the R1 register reclassification is done, and what it found
Done 2026-09-01 by the human on the Decoder's tip (branch human/r1-register-reclassification): all 222 REFUTED.md entries carry an ⟨instrument⟩, ten moved ❌ -> 🟡, R1 is standing text in PROTOCOL.md, and tools/stale-instrument is the --stale query. Flagged here because one of the ten is load-bearing for the port: rest() decides the pose every plateau-less element is drawn at, and the question is open in BOTH directions -- each leg runs through our renderer. |

port: confirm the plate quad by size, and record a frame-spacing discrepancy I cannot close
Read the Decoder's existing title draw log from the ref. The additive quad carries per-vertex alpha 68, 67, 56 across log frames 1, 2 and 4. Identification confirmed independently and without using their attribution: the quad is 537.6 x 75.6 px and ptbtn00f.png ships at 537 x 76. Their free check on my ramp holds -- all three alphas are at or below my declared peak of 80 and none equals a keyframe value, so the game interpolates rather than steps. Two independent decodes agreeing. The frame spacing does not fit. At HANDOFF Q1's 2 units per rendered frame my falling segment predicts 68, 64.5, 57.6 against observed 68, 67, 56; at 0.5 units it predicts 68, 67.2, 65.4. No constant rate fits both steps. Three candidates I cannot separate: my ramp is wrong somewhere, the log's frame numbering is captured rather than engine frames -- it skips from 2 to 4, so it is demonstrably not dense -- or emulator pacing varies. The middle is most likely and cheapest to check, and it is theirs. It does not disturb the ramp's shape or ceiling, which the alphas confirm. It disturbs only posing my renderer at their captured instant by stepping units, so the vertex alpha stays the right readout and a frame index would have been wrong. |

port: pre-register the plate composite test, and catch my own prediction being wrong
The Decoder's R2 note: alpha peaks at 80 of 255, so the composite difference is a small signal either way and the expected magnitude should be set before the test. Committed here before any capture exists. Rendering the same pose at peak alpha under both composites: 25 015 px footprint, mean |additive - alpha-over| 16.92 levels inside it, max 50, RMS over the whole frame 3.746. My first prediction was wrong and that is the useful part. The composites differ by exactly alpha*bg, which with mean background 94.78 predicts 29.73 levels. Measured 16.92. The formula uses the keyframe alpha and ignores that the sprite carries its own per-pixel alpha channel modulating it -- implied mean sprite alpha about 145/255. Caught only because the prediction was written down and disagreed with the render. The pre-registered test: additive is brighter than alpha-over at every footprint pixel in one direction, so the discriminator is regional SIGN over 25 015 pixels, not per-pixel magnitude. If the game is additive, rendering alpha-over must leave the footprint about 17 levels darker than the capture relative to the surrounding frame, and additive must leave no such regional bias. Neither bias refutes both and points at the ramp or the pose instead. Feasibility stated before asking for a run: as a whole-frame RMSE the difference is 3.746, below the title's own +/-5.56 capture-phase term, so verify-capture's headline number could not settle this even at peak alpha. It is discriminable only as a signed regional statistic. |

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. |

port: fix the runbook's unattended walk -- it never reached the submenu P5 rests on
RUNNING.md gave `--script=down,down,accept,cancel` as the unattended P5 walk. Two downs from the opening item lands on TUTORIAL, whose destination this export does not carry, so the example printed a not-carried message and returned to the title without opening a submenu at all. EXTRAS is the fifth item and needs four. The one submenu the milestone's gate rests on was the one the runbook's own command did not reach, and it survived because the command completed successfully. Third instance this session of "the run succeeded and the answer was wrong", after the MIX-default material and the vertex dump that captured two of six quads -- and the first one sitting in the document written for a human to follow. Verified by running both paths. Also verified end to end this iteration, on the real binary rather than from the document: cold boot reaches the title in 152.9 s with the intro playing 142.2 s for 137.4 s of media (+3.5 %); wrap, the left/right no-ops, EXTRAS opening on MISSION SELECT, B restoring the item you left, EXTRAS resetting to its own first item on re-entry, and the focus surviving a title round trip all behave as the table says. |

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: transcribe the sweeps' additive blend, and re-run my own menu-looping evidence with it
ui-blend-mode-measured.md names both rotated sweep strips additive in the same row as the frames. Those are ptloop01/ptloop02 here, now in additive_elements for both measured screens. It changes nothing visible: on the menus the port runs the leaf group once and parks it off-screen, and suppressing both sprites at leaf-time 100, 200 and 300 changes 0 pixels each time. It is in the file because it is measured. Refutation attempt on their identification, and it survives with a number of mine. The automatic matcher reports "no match" for those two draws; they rest on one control reproducing heights 1134 and 1303. Rendering the menu at a phase where the sweeps are on screen and suppressing them gives a footprint 884 px wide against their 889.6 -- 0.6 % apart, derived without using their number. The heights differ as they should: my bbox is clipped by the screen, theirs is the full quad extent. The blend was a confound in my own earlier evidence. loop_leaf_why scoped looping to the title partly on a phase sweep of mine that drew the sweeps ALPHA-OVER, so an on-screen sweep was composited wrongly and then scored against the capture. Re- run with additive and looping enabled for the menu, through a scratch export root so the repo was untouched: parked 0.0208 %, phase 150 on-screen 0.0851 % with the sweeps painting 58 027 px, other on-screen phases 0.086-0.122 %. The conclusion held and got stronger -- 3x with the wrong blend, 4-6x with the right one -- so the scoping stays and the correction is what is recorded. Still one capture, and best-match is still weak evidence for an absence. And a reading of the new log that I did not make: it shows both sweeps SUBMITTED on the main menu in every frame group, which is not evidence they animate there. A quad parked off-screen at x=1521 is still a draw call. The log settles the blend and not the visibility, and both questions arrived in the same artefact. |

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: discriminate the blend -- additive halves alpha-over's error on both frames
Last iteration could say the shortfall scales with the background but not which curve. That is decidable with no RE: an element rendered over two different backgrounds gives two equations in a and aC, and the mod tree supplies the second background by suppressing pteff10/pteff12, which moves it by a mean of 26 levels. No placement, no coordinate transform, no texture decode assumed. The control is exact. Alpha-over rebuilt from the solved per-pixel a and aC reproduces the port's own render at RMSE 0.0000 on both screens, so the recovered values are right rather than a fit that lands nearby. RMSE against the capture, ptframe1 / ptframe3: additive 34.305 / 28.948 screen 50.052 / 50.368 alpha-over 65.046 / 71.299 <- what the port does not drawn 90.916 / 109.801 Same ordering on both. The frame is certainly drawn in the capture, and additive roughly halves the error of what the port currently does. What it is not: additive still leaves 28.9-34.3, so none of the three reproduces the capture. This ranks candidates, it does not identify the equation, and the absolutes are inflated by mapping the capture through the fitted LUT inverse -- the ranking is fair because all four go through the same mapping. Nothing adopted. The Decoder established no blend is on the disc for .t32, so any choice is authored, and the mission says propose rather than take. The renderer is unchanged. Refutation attempt, recorded as surviving: their kind-0 claim checked against my own exporter's independently decoded kind_raw. Every sprite decoration on both screens is 0x0, frames included, every button 0x3002. Two independent decodes agree, which is also what makes the blend question sharp -- the frames are declared identically to ptbase and pteff05, which the port draws at 1.31x and 0.92x. |

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: localise the menu residual -- nothing is displaced, and the split I expected is absent
tools/port/edge-residual-map tiles the frame at 64 px and runs the shift discriminator inside each tile, which is what edge-residual-kind's reach statement said it could not do. Division agreed with the Decoder: the map is mine, the element inventory is theirs. The first control failed and that is the useful part. A known +2 px displacement localises perfectly but reads back +0.839 -- the slope is a linearisation and saturates. So there are two controls now: +1 px asserts localisation AND magnitude (+0.949), +2 px asserts localisation and sign only. A hot tile's slope is a floor on the displacement, never a ceiling. Result: every dx and dy in the top ten tiles is under 0.1 px. Nothing in the hot region has moved, locally or globally, so the misplaced-soft-element candidate now has no support on this screen. Hot tiles cluster at x 384-704, y 64-256 plus an outlier at 640,576; the tool names nothing and the list has gone to the Decoder. And a null: I added a flat-pixel column expecting two families, edge-only against hot-everywhere. The hot tiles run continuously 1.24..3.37 across a median of 1.84. What nearly manufactured the split was carrying over the frame-wide POOLED ratio of 3.16 as the baseline -- pooling is dominated by the tiles with the most edge pixels. Same quantity, wrong population; caught because the baseline was computed before the claim rather than after. |

port: run the peer's shift-vs-blur discriminator -- the menu is not misregistered
They proposed the test and said they had not run it. It needs the port's render
beside the capture, so it was mine: a shift makes the signed residual track the
gradient (and the fitted slope is the shift in pixels), a blur makes it track the
laplacian. New tool, tools/port/edge-residual-kind.
Controls first, and they are not optional: a known +1 px shift reads back as
+0.938 px (r +0.789), a known blur as r -0.896 on the laplacian, neither leaking
into the other's channel.
Result: -0.010 px, -0.009 px, laplacian r +0.103. Flat. Any whole-frame
translation is under a hundredth of a pixel, and the weak blur term has the
opposite sign to the blur control. Misregistration is excluded.
Reach: whole-frame fit. One misplaced element is a small share of 38 752 edge
pixels and would not move these numbers -- this excludes a GLOBAL translation,
not a local one. A misplaced soft element remains untouched.
Exit codes 0 or 2, no 1 -- it classifies, it does not judge. The control-failure

port: refute the peer's tone/geometry positive control, and label the number that misled it
docs/re/structures/title-residual-tone-vs-geometry.md validates its per-level-LUT instrument with a positive control on the main menu, on the grounds that "the port measures only 0.06 % of pixels differing, so geometry is essentially right". That 0.06 % is verify-capture's, and it counts pixels differing by more than ~64 levels -- a gross-displacement detector. It is blind to sub-pixel offsets and antialiasing differences, which are exactly what a per-level LUT also cannot close. Measured: after the LUT, the menu's remaining residual is 6.94 on edge pixels and 2.20 on flat ones, 3.2x. Known negative -- render vs itself under a pure gamma -- leaves 0.00, exactly, because a per-level LUT inverts a per-level effect perfectly. So the concentration is spatial and the menu is not a geometry-free control. Their conclusion survives: the title's 32 % never depended on the control. The refutation is of the validation only, and I say so. The half that is mine: verify-capture's header now states what the diff column thresholds and what it therefore cannot establish, next to the number itself. Not settled: whether the menu's spatial error is misregistration, antialiasing, or a misplaced soft element. This does not separate them. |

port: decompose the menu residual -- 55 % of it is tone, and the control says that is real
verify-capture has said for weeks that the RMSE "has a floor" because the capture carries the game's tone ramp. Nobody measured the floor. Aligned luma RMSE is 10.60; one fitted monotone transfer curve takes it to 4.77. A fitted curve always removes something, so: the same fit against an unrelated capture (EXTRAS) removes 27 %, against the matched pair 55 %. The tone difference is pair-specific, not the fit absorbing variance. Nothing in the port changes. I cannot say which side's tone is wrong and I am not tuning to match. What is new is a bound: 4.77 of the headline number is not tonal. Also recorded: my first pass at this compared a 1280x720 render against a 1279x675 capture and reported a uniform 75.6 % difference. verify-capture corrects exactly that, in a comment I had read, and I reached past it. |

port: the independence rule, and a workflow defect on its fourth occurrence
Their observation is the one thing left worth converting into a habit: the first genuinely independent pair either of us produced this week happened by accident. I checked a different quantity because it was the one my export had, not because independence was designed for. The rule that would make it deliberate: when corroborating a peer's claim, re-derive it from what YOUR OWN DOMAIN gives you rather than from the quantity they measured. Independence follows by construction because the domains differ -- mine a static export of the disc, theirs a runtime capture. Reaching for their quantity is what produces one reader used twice, which is how extras/initial_focus's 'both agents independently' died. For ptbtn11 I reached for the same quantity and got their crate back; for the JP menu I reached for what my export carried and got a different instrument answering a different question. The difference was not care, it was whether the obvious check was inside my domain or theirs. Their note on the log-line slip is the sharper half: the wrong diagnosis would have entered as 'the detector is locale-specific' -- plausible, tidy, false, and exactly the kind of instrument finding nothing downstream questions. An instrument's own limitations are the claims least likely to be challenged, because challenging them requires doubting the tool everyone is using. And a workflow defect on its fourth occurrence: check-all failed on decisions-index because I appended to DECISIONS.md while the suite was running. I have regenerated and moved on three times without naming it. The check is right and the habit is wrong -- a stale index answers 'is this already decided' with a confident no, so weakening the assertion to fit my ordering would be the tuning-to-pass failure this file warns about. The rule is one line: write the entry, then start the suite. The substantive result of the run: after an iteration of authored-data edits across four files, the oracle numbers are unchanged -- main_menu 13.21, extras 13.38, title 14.16. Nothing done to the why fields touched what the port renders, which is what authored/ being separate from export/ is supposed to guarantee and is now checked rather than assumed.

port: corroborate their JP menu capture from the disc, with genuinely different legs
They captured the JP main menu for the first time: initial focus 新規 (NEW GAME), top item, ring y 225.5 matching six English boots, and reported that the JP build places its buttons where the English one does. Checked from my export and it is exact: main_menu and main_menu_jp both declare 162/242/322/401/482, and extras and extras_jp both declare 282/362/442. This time the legs really are independent, which is worth stating after a week of finding they were not. Theirs is a runtime capture of where the ring lands; mine is the disc's declaration of where the buttons rest. Different instruments and different quantities -- my rows are button rest positions and their 225.5 is a ring row, so these are not the same number -- and either could have disagreed: the disc could declare different JP rows while a runtime ring landed at 225.5 for some other reason. Separately: the disc declares identical rows for EN and JP, and the running JP menu's ring sits where English's does. It does not settle their dialog question and they said so before I could: this is language-pair structure at the menu, not at the dialog. GP_DIALOG 2/3 is exactly where it was, since the ja capture of DIFFICULTY did not happen -- the round trip failed at the final (A). Their self-correction on the way is the week's shape again: they assumed the JP menu detector had failed because a log line showed glyph 11654, and it had not -- JP detects at 320 against English's 327, both inside the band, and the 11654 was a later phase. Diagnosing from the log line rather than from the capture. And they have taken the relay finding with a direction attached: the exposure is at the relay and they are the source end, with 271 unaudited leg-count claims that my result predicts are the problem set rather than mine. They said plainly they are not going to pretend it is scheduled, which is the correct disposition -- a backlog nobody is incentivised to clear is exactly what we established survives, and saying so beats filing it and letting the filing stand in for the work.

port: audit the remaining multi-leg claims -- the pattern I predicted is not there
I have listed 'four unaudited multi-leg claims' as open for several iterations and said I expected the same inversion in them: a count standing in for an exclusion argument. Applying the test -- could any leg have come out differently given the others? loop_start_why holds. Derivation (a) depends on a measured rate and (b) on the cycle, so a wrong rate breaks (a) and leaves (b) standing while a wrong cycle does the reverse. They fail independently, which is what 'two derivations' was claiming. Bound: they share one trace, so they exclude arithmetic error and not trace error, which the existing one-boot-one-bank caveat already says. arithmetic_why holds. The corpus's 28.5 fps is a different quantity measured before these runs, so it could have disagreed; it agrees to 1.4%. Corroboration rather than restatement. black_hold_why holds and needed nothing: it was already an exclusion argument -- a constant excluded, outgoing-screen keying excluded, and four declared quantities each shown not to separate the pairs. So the prediction was wrong, and that is worth recording as loudly as a confirmation. Two of the original five were the bad shape and were corrected when they came up -- 'three routes' and 'both agents independently'. The three remaining are sound, and two were already exclusion arguments before I had the vocabulary for it. The lesson I nearly drew was that my corpus is riddled with count-shaped support. It is not: it had two, both relayed from a peer's message, and the claims built from my own measurements state what they exclude. That is a different diagnosis and it changes what to watch -- the exposure is at the relay, not in the authoring. Each why now states what its legs discriminate rather than how many there are.

port: pass conditions on every documented command, and what the week's failures were
Their standard applied back to my RUNNING.md section 6: a command published without a pass condition is half a check, since a reader gets a number and no way to know whether it is the right one. Two of my four rows were worse than that -- git merge-base --is-ancestor prints NOTHING on success, so a reader running it as written sees an empty line and cannot distinguish success from failure. Each row now carries '; echo $?' where the answer is an exit code, a stated pass condition, and the last observed run: 0, 0, 0, 1. All four executed as written before publishing. And their closing observation is the best summary of the exchange, which I would not have assembled: none of the week's failures was a wrong measurement. Every one was a correct measurement doing a job it could not do. A count standing in for an invariant, section 6's '256 commits'. A falsifier standing in for a discriminator, +0x08 against +0x04. A leg count standing in for an exclusion argument, 'three routes'. A denominator standing in for a population, 92.3 against 49.6. A capture's assumed focus standing in for an excluded one, the oracle row. That is a narrower failure than being wrong and it survives every instrument either of us built, because the number is right and the instruments check numbers. audit-kinds checks that a claim cites something, check-claims that a dead phrase is marked, contract-check that a value matches the contract. Not one can ask whether the quantity answers the question it is placed under. That is where I am leaving it, because the alternative is building the instrument we spent a day establishing cannot exist. The Decoder tried twice and published neither attempt; my own version would have been 'flag claims whose supporting statistic is not an exclusion argument', which is a judgement rather than a test. The one durable thing is a habit rather than a tool: ask what job a number is doing, not whether it is correct. Every entry above was caught by somebody asking that about somebody else's sentence, and in four of the five the somebody was the other agent.

port: the number in my decision document was stale the moment I committed it
Their last finding lands on RUNNING.md section 6, which I wrote for the person who has to certify P5: a count written into a document meant to inform a decision decays with every commit either agent makes. Self-demonstrating. Section 6 said '256 commits ahead'. By the time it was worth reading the answer was 258, and the commit that added the sentence is one of the two that made it wrong. The act of recording the number changed the number. Rewritten to invariants plus the commands to re-derive, because the counts were never the claim. What does not move: main is an ancestor of this branch, main is an ancestor of the Decoder's branch, the two change sets touch zero files in common, and merge-tree of both heads returns one line with no conflicts. Every check in the table was run as written before it was published -- a documented command that has never been executed is the same class as a control that does not execute. It closes the exchange on the shape it kept producing. Three times this week I supplied a measured quantity and left the thing it was for unstated: the merge described as a backlog when it is a one-minute decision, the P5 gate open because the ask was never written, and now a count standing in for an invariant. In each case the evidence existed and what it was evidence FOR did not. Their closing judgement is the one I would repeat rather than improve: no instrument either of us built has any purchase on that class, and neither of us should try to build one. The only thing that has ever caught it is one agent reading the other's sentence for its own sake, which does not scale, is not a process, and is the entire mechanism behind every correction in this file this week.

port: verify the merge-state claim rather than relay it, and fix my own framing
They extended the merge quantification and I checked it from this side, because it is a structural claim about my own repository and I have relayed four of their asides unchecked this week. Their branch is 329 ahead of main and 0 behind, a fast-forward; from the shared merge base the two change sets touch zero files in common; and git merge-tree --write-tree of the two heads returns a single tree with no conflicts. Read-only: nothing was merged and merging stays the human's. Their point about the sentence corrects my own framing from last iteration. I wrote '257 ahead, main 234 behind', which sounds like a backlog someone has to schedule. The true sentence is 'two fast-forwards over disjoint file sets, mergeable in either order with zero conflicts', and that is a decision that takes a minute. RUNNING.md section 6 now says the second thing. I had the numbers and still described the situation in the harder-sounding way. A quantity is not a framing, and I supplied one while leaving the other at the level of 'this is blocked'. Closing the exchange with the observation I would keep from the week: the counting question felt like the rigorous one to both of us and produced three rounds of correction over an interpretation nothing depended on, while the meaning question produced a check that could have gone the other way on a screen this port ships. Its companion is the P5 finding: the gate was partly open because the ask itself was unstated. The commands existed, the log existed, the question lived nowhere, and no instrument either of us built would ever have surfaced that. Both are the same shape -- the thing missing was not evidence but what the evidence was for.

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 one load-bearing thing in the denominator thread, checked against the port
Their substantive point was not about counting: a static record still declares a cycle length, and a nonzero +0x08 against a largest keyframe time of 0 is a real disagreement. That is a rendering question for this port and it had not been asked. Scoped to GP_TITLE, the archive the port exports: 65 nested records, 20 declaring a cycle while every pose sits at t=0, and 0 of those with any element carrying more than one pose. So the declared cycle is visually inert on every one of them. A record whose elements each hold a single pose renders identically whether looped or held, since there is nothing to move between. The port holds nothing still that the disc says moves, and that is now measured rather than assumed. It includes ptbtn11, ptbtn12 and ptbtn13 -- EXTRAS' own buttons -- declaring 120-unit cycles. Had any carried two poses, the port would have been holding a menu button the disc says animates, on the one submenu P5's gate walks. The check cost one scan and the answer could have gone the other way. That is the thread's yield stated honestly. Three rounds of correction ran over an interpretation that was never load-bearing -- the offset stood on both scans throughout, so the cost of being wrong at each step was a paragraph. What came out of it worth having: the population distinction, and this check, which exists because they pushed on what the 1530 MEAN rather than on how they are counted. Their framing of why it was safe is the caveat I would attach to repeating it: nothing the port depends on moved at any point. That made three rounds cheap. It does not make three rounds a good default, and I would not have spent them if a shipped value had been waiting on the outcome.

port: correcting my own correction -- none of the 1530 is a question without content
I told the Decoder their denominator held 1530 questions that were never asked: records with no timed keyframe, where 'does +0x08 equal the largest keyframe time' has no meaning. I did not check that and it is wrong. Of the 1530 excluded, ZERO have no timed keyframe at all and all 1530 are timed with every pose at t=0. Every one has a largest keyframe time; it is 0. So the question is well-formed there and the answer is 'not exact', because a static record still declares a cycle length and a nonzero +0x08 against a largest time of 0 is a real disagreement rather than an absent one. That makes their 49.6% defensible rather than mistaken. Two statistics over two populations: 92.3% of records whose largest keyframe time is > 0, and 49.6% of all nested records including static ones. Neither is the corrected version of the other. I framed mine as correct and theirs as an artefact; the truthful statement is that they answer different questions and both need their population attached -- which was my own point one message earlier, applied to their number and not to my reading of it. Their cause diagnosis is still right about the mechanism, max() returning Some(0) rather than None, but 'records with no timed keyframe' describes zero records on this disc. The mechanism is real and the population they attributed it to does not exist. Third-order and worth naming: they corrected an argument, I corrected their denominator, and this corrects my characterisation of what was in it. Each step was checkable in one scan, and each of us stated the interpretation confidently while only the number had been measured. The numbers have agreed throughout; every disagreement has been about what they were counting. What survives untouched, and is the only part the port depends on: +0x08 equals the largest keyframe time exactly where that time is nonzero, +0x04 does so 0% of the time under either denominator, and the offset identification stands on both scans.

port: the 92.3-vs-49.6 gap is entirely the denominator, and my number lacked its population
Reproducing my offset result, the Decoder reported the same discrimination over 3311 records against my 1781, with exactness 49.6% against my 92.3%, attributing the difference to a scan that 'takes every pak and requires a timed keyframe'. Both scans are described identically, so at least one was narrower than its own description. Counting my survivors per filter: 3311 records declared by parse_build, 3311 within bounds, 3311 carrying the RATC magic, 3311 parsing as nested builds, and 1781 with at least one timed keyframe. So 3311 is the count BEFORE the timed filter. The arithmetic closes it: 1643/1781 is 92.3% and 1643/3311 is 49.6%, their figure exactly. Same numerator. Their denominator includes the 1530 records with no timed keyframe, where 'does +0x08 equal the largest keyframe time' has no meaning -- max t is 0 and every one counts as not-exact by construction. So their stated filter is not applied, and 49.6% is not a weaker version of 92.3% but 1643 successes over a denominator containing 1530 questions that were never asked. The discrimination is untouched: +0x04 gives 0% under either denominator, so the offset conclusion stands on both scans. And my own number needed a qualifier it did not carry. 92.3% is 'of the records where the question is meaningful', not 'of nested records', and I have quoted it bare since 2026-08-30 including into screen.rs's doc comment -- a population-scoped statistic reported without its population, the same shape as a negative reported without its reach. Qualified in place. Two agents, one number, and the disagreement was entirely in the denominator; neither of us was wrong about the disc. A cheaper failure than the offset one and a more common one: the numerator agreed to the unit, which is what makes a denominator mismatch invisible.

port: my falsifier never identified the offset -- the half I called a formality did
Their struct-layout control found that a homogeneous repeated table type-checks at every field boundary, so an interior test carries no information about phase: 69 of 70 records passed under both shifted alignments. Their rule is that the evidence for a field order lives at the first and last record and nowhere else. That aimed at my +0x08 loop-length control, an interior test of exactly that kind which I re-ran as confirmation. Re-run at the neighbours: +0x04 gives 0 violations and PASSES the falsifier, +0x08 gives 0, +0x0c gives 1287 violations at 72%. The falsifier rejects +0x0c and accepts +0x04, whose word is >= max keyframe time in 100% of records. So the falsifier does not identify +0x08. I published it as the load-bearing half -- an animation cannot restart before its own last pose, so a wrong reading should produce violations, and none exist in 1781 records -- and a wrong reading one word to the left produces none either. What identifies the offset is the half I described as merely guarding against triviality: +0x08 equals the largest keyframe time EXACTLY in 92.3% of records and +0x04 does so in 0%. No unrelated word reproduces that coincidence. The value is right and my argument for it was wrong. Second time this week the weight was on the wrong leg: last time a count was taking credit for an exclusion argument, this time the falsifier was taking credit for the exactness statistic. Both were cases where the impressive-sounding control carried nothing. Their boundary rule does not transfer literally -- a per-record header has no first-and-last-record phase question -- but the underlying point does: an interior consistency check is satisfied by any reading that is internally consistent, and 'internally consistent' is what a wrong offset into a regular structure usually is. Their observation about when I found my extractor inflating my own backlog is worth keeping: while clearing it, not while building the tool. Clearing put me in contact with the individual items; building had only put me in contact with the rule.

port: the uncited-why backfill -- 17 was 12, and 12 is now 0
The work my own measurement said was needed: a legacy residue, not a new
discipline. Doing it corrected the number twice.
First, '17 uncited' was inflated by my own extractor. Five of the sixteen named a
capture filename or a bare HANDOFF -- real, openable citations it could not see. A
third of my published backlog was the invents-defects failure aimed at myself.
Capture filenames now count, and a bare HANDOFF counts separately, because 'the
contract says so' sends a reader to 4000 lines while 'Q5 says so' does not.
Then the genuine twelve, all backfilled to zero. The plate-overlay group cites
plate-pulse-measured.md, plate-pulse-phase-lock.md and the raw series;
unobserved_why cites the BLOCKED row it stands in for; the boot order cites
ui-title-build-map.md; focus_persists_why cites both the round-trip data and the
contrasting submenu result.
screen_names.json's sibling references were left as references with a note saying
so: 'as entry 10, region twin' points at another entry in the same file, and
forcing a path onto it would be mislabelling to satisfy a counter -- the failure I
have warned about for four iterations and the easiest one to commit while clearing
a backlog.
Their dialog record layout was wrong and I had copied it. It is {id, name_ptr,
handler}, not {handler, id, name_ptr} -- the same three fields shifted one word,
so every record was credited with the previous record's handler. They caught it
with a control dump: under the old alignment record 0 had a handler of
0x10000000, not a code address. ids and names are unaffected and
DLG_SELECT_DIFFICULTY is still 2000, so nothing moves except the sentence.
Fourth aside of theirs relayed into my authored data, and the first that is a
STRUCTURE rather than a decoration. The earlier three were an EN/JP pairing, a leg
count and an independence claim, all weightless. A wrong field order is the kind
of thing a later reader builds on, and it carried no weight here only by luck. The
pattern I named -- the unchecked things are the ones carrying no weight -- did not
protect me, because this one looked like a fact rather than an aside.
Their join negative is recorded as a route rather than an answer: all three
handlers load a global inside a 364601-byte contiguous zero run, BSS populated
only at runtime, controlled because an all-zero read is also what a wrong address
gives. That closes the dialog handlers, not the image -- the archive loader and
any id-keyed table elsewhere are unexamined.
And their symmetry caution: two corpora whose residue is old and whose recent rate
is high, measured during the exchange that made the norm salient. Exactly the
shape that would look like durable improvement and might not be.

port: my own mechanism does not reproduce in my own corpus -- measured and refuted
They tested my sharpened claim on their corpus rather than adopting it, and it did not hold: cited sections median 2502 characters, uncited 2386, indistinguishable. Their predictor is recency. Measured mine the same way and my mechanism fails here too. Median length cited 522, uncited 315. Long whys of 800+ chars cite 22 of 24, 92%; short whys cite 32 of 47, 68%. Detailed why fields cite MORE, not less. My claim that the detail is what made them look sourced was generalised from three long uncited fields in one file, and corpus-wide the correlation runs the opposite way. Those three were outliers and I presented them as a mechanism two messages ago. Their predictor does reproduce here: of whys carrying a date, 86% then 100% then 100% cited across 29, 30 and 31 August. Only 28 of 71 carry a date so that covers a subset, and their caveat applies to my numbers as much as theirs -- the improvement coincides with this exchange, so salience is part of what produced it. It is evidence the uncited residue is old, not that the habit is durable. The prognosis flips, which was the point of their message. They distinguished a generative blind spot, quality-correlated and producing new instances, from a legacy residue that is finite and closable by backfill, and said reading my diagnosis onto their corpus would have implied work that is not needed. The same is true in reverse: mine is a legacy residue too. I had it as generative and would have gone looking for an ongoing mechanism that is not there. The right work is a backfill of 17 uncited whys, not a new discipline, and I would not have known that without measuring a claim I had already published. Their framing of the propagation step assigns the cost correctly: an uncited measurement of theirs became an uncited value of mine, and the receiving end cannot distinguish a summarised measurement from a recalled one. That is a cost their delivery imposed on my file rather than a defect I introduced, and the fix belongs at the delivery end where they have put it.

port: my triage under-counted, and three uncited measurements surfaced behind it
Their audit found 9 of 57 HANDOFF sections asserting measured or undecodable-with-reach citing nothing openable, 84%, including one they had sent me: '(B) from EXTRAS DOES go black', delivered as an inline frame table while data/fade-four-transitions.txt carrying that leg and eight others had been committed the whole time. It had already landed here uncited. timing.json's black_hold_why carried over a thousand characters and nothing openable. An uncited measurement propagates as an uncited value: the receiving end cannot tell a summarised measurement from a recalled one, and both read as prose. And my triage had missed it along with seven others. Last iteration I reported 13 provenance claims among the 52 and labelled them; the count was wrong because my sibling match was literal, so black_hold_why did not match black_hold_units, nor loop_start_why to loop_start_s, dwell_why to dwell_seconds, loop_leaf_why to loop_leaf_on_screens. Eight more, all hidden by a suffix. It was 21 and I stated 13 confidently. All eight now labelled from their own text; coverage 16 to 38. Three uncited MEASURED fields in one file -- loop_why at 1400 chars, loop_start_why at 1041, voice/presentation_why at 1402 and authored -- and all three were detailed rather than sloppy. The detail is what made them look sourced: a why that recounts a measurement carefully reads as well-evidenced because it is careful. That is the quality-correlated blind spot one level down -- not 'well-evidenced values never declared themselves' but 'well-argued prose never cited anything'. The authored one now cites the open question it stands in for. A false positive in my own extractor surfaced in the same pass: presentation_why was reported DANGLING on 1118268 and 1171516, byte counts read as commit shas because they are seven digits of valid hex characters. A sha in this corpus always carries at least one of a-f; requiring that removes the class without a length rule. A wrong verdict for a fabricated reason, the fourth of that family and this time in the auditor.

port: triage the 52 unlabelled whys -- 13 were provenance claims, 2 failed on sight
Their closing point was the sharp one: the audit's blind spot fell exactly on values that were well-evidenced. The three SE cues had measured provenance, byte offsets and careful text, and nothing about them looked unfinished, which is why they never declared themselves. So 'not every why needs a kind' does not excuse the other 52. Split by whether the why sits beside an actual value: 39 are section prose, _ blocks and group explanations where a label would be mislabelling to satisfy a counter; 13 are provenance claims and all were unlabelled. All thirteen now carry a kind, assigned from each why's own opening words rather than guessed -- measured where the text says measured, authored where it says 'AUTHORED, and NOT measured', decoded for the movie-manifest binding. Coverage 16 to 30. Two failed the citation check the moment they became visible. bgm/main_menu/loop_why was measured with 1400 characters of prose and nothing openable; it described three watched wraps and cited no file, while the measurements sat in docs/re/data/menu-bgm-loop-measured.txt and -loop-start.txt the whole time. navigation/input_during_transition_why was authored and said 'ask the RE agent' without naming where the question is recorded -- a pointer with no destination. The second is worth a rule: an authored kind still needs a citation, and the thing to cite is the open question the choice stands in for. Without it, an invented value and a placeholder for a measurement read identically, which is the whole distinction kind exists to carry. The denominator is not a target and the tool now says so where the number is printed; 41 remain unlabelled on purpose. The mechanism generalises past this audit: a blind spot that correlates with quality is invisible by construction. The unlabelled entries were not the sloppy ones, they were the ones so well-evidenced nobody thought to mark them, and the audit was measuring self-declaration rather than grounding. Their register measured 83 of 86, 97%, with the identical omission -- never printed. Their three gaps are unregistrable by construction, bare identifiers that would match every live mention, the same limit as my own collision case. We reached 'report the ratio, do not demand it be 1' independently from 23% and 97%.

port: audit-kinds was auditing 16 of 71 authored justifications and never said so
Back to the port, and the finding came from reading data rather than a tool. P6's three SE cues -- move, confirm, back -- carry measured provenance from HANDOFF Q8, byte offsets in Static.slb and careful why text. None of them had a kind field, so audit-kinds, the audit that exists to check provenance, had never looked at them. Counting the corpus: 55 why fields with no kind against 16 with one. The tool audits what declares itself, and I have quoted its clean runs in DECISIONS as evidence that the authored data is grounded. That was a statement about 16 of 71. It now prints its own coverage before the verdict, so a clean run cannot be read as full coverage. The three SE cues are labelled measured -- accurate -- and now pass the citation check they had been exempt from. 19 of 71. Not every why should have a kind, and the tool says so: section prose and _ blocks explain a group rather than assert one value's provenance, and forcing a label there would invite mislabelling to satisfy a counter, which is worse than the gap. So it reports the ratio rather than demanding it be 1. This is the liveness family again but about SCOPE rather than aliveness. Every earlier instance was a checker that could not fail; this one fails correctly and describes a sixth of the corpus. 'I checked and it was fine' and 'I checked the part that declared itself' read identically in a log, and only one of them is what I have been quoting. Also recorded so I do not rebuild it: the Decoder tried twice to build the stale-justification detector and both failed. Flagging tools whose cited page is newer gave 126 candidates and no signal; narrowing to pages that later received a correction commit gave 43, better signal and still unauditable by hand. They sampled 3 before publishing and all three were false positives. The structural reason is that co-citation is not co-reference -- a tool cites a page for one fact and the page is corrected about another. They did not publish the 43, and their reach is stated: 3 of 43, so the rate is not established, only shown low enough that the report is not worth reading.

port: a stale JUSTIFICATION, which my number sweep could not have found
Their instance was not a wrong number -- jp_title_session.sh justified its own existence with a premise they had personally refuted the day before. My sweep had looked for numbers, so it could not have found that shape. Swept mine for stale rationales instead. tools/port/blocked-provenance's docstring says 'HANDOFF has not moved in four milestones', flat, without the 'on main' qualifier. That is the exact claim this port withdrew in BLOCKED.md on 2026-08-30, where the missing qualifier was recorded as carrying the whole meaning: HANDOFF has moved over a hundred times, just not on the branch this checkout reads. And the tool's own reasoning needs the qualifier to work. Its conclusion is that the required sha 'is constant' -- true because main's copy is frozen, not because the document is. Read flat, the sentence is false and the argument beneath it looks broken. A stale justification does not merely sit there; it degrades the thing it justifies. Corrected in place, and the phrase is now a register row, so a recurrence fails a run rather than waiting for someone to read the docstring for its own sake. The tally for this thread: three of their asides landed in my authored files, four of my retractions failed to reach my own code -- three numbers and one justification -- and zero were caught by an instrument. Every one was caught by a person reading a sentence for its own sake. The registers now catch recurrences, which is worth having and is not the same thing. The limit we both recorded stands untouched: a register holds only what has already been retracted, so it catches propagation rather than error. Their ring_row.py calibration and any equivalent of mine would still be invisible, because nothing had retracted them -- nobody knew they were wrong.

port: their docstring point found three stale claims in my code
Their sharpening of my harness-note finding: a why in an authored file has a convention demanding a citation; a docstring has nothing, travels with the code, and reads as authoritative. Their instance was ring_row.py's calibration, wrong, sitting under every focus finding they had sent me, found by accident. Swept mine for numbers I had corrected in DECISIONS.md. Three live instances, each contradicting my own log. video.rs asserted '28 % of S00A's frames presented and 47 % of ADV's' as measured; boot.gd asserted that the same numbers 'refuted the claim outright'; dialog_rows.rs said 'by three routes'. All three were retracted days ago in the log and never in the code -- the percentages came from contended runs and the counter is an upper bound that goes vacuous once the engine outruns the stream, and three routes became two, one compound. verify-transcode-fidelity was the only one already correct. Third time this pattern has bitten me, and it is the one audio.json's own why warns about: a correction that does not reach the artifact a consumer reads has not been made. First was loop_why shipping a refuted story into manifest.json, second a BLOCKED row, this is code comments -- the worst of the three because they sit beside the thing they describe. So the class is now checked rather than swept: the retracted numbers are register rows carrying the propositions they asserted, and check-claims immediately failed on my own corrections quoting them unmarked. The next stale number of this kind fails a run instead of waiting for a sweep. What it does not cover is a docstring number that was never corrected anywhere. The register holds only what I have already retracted, so it catches propagation failures rather than wrong numbers -- their ring_row.py case would still have gone undetected here, because nothing had retracted that calibration. Their closing observation is the honest limit: the only thing that has actually caught these is one of us reading the other's sentence for its own sake, which is not a filter and does not scale.

port: the capture's own focus state, and "independently" dies on a fact
verify-capture's main_menu row said 'rendered with authored initial focus', stale in two ways: the value became measured on 2026-08-31, and nothing had ever established which item THE CAPTURE shows -- an assumption sitting under the port's most-quoted residual. Rendered all five candidates against live-main-menu.png: ptbtn01 13.06, and every alternative 15.96 to 16.59, about 22% worse. The capture shows NEW GAME and the port renders the same state. That is an exclusion argument rather than agreement between two things that were always going to agree, and it bounds the residual -- a plausible explanation for part of the 13.06 is now eliminated rather than untested. It does NOT re-establish 'the menu opens on NEW GAME': focus persists here, so a capture of the running menu could show any item. The general shape, third time this week: an assumption embedded in a HARNESS NOTE is invisible in a way an assumption in a why is not. audit-kinds checks that every authored kind carries a citation; nothing checks the prose a tool prints beside its own numbers, and this one had been printed on every run for days and read as a description rather than a claim. Then the Decoder answered my question and it goes against me: their 282/362/442 came from crates/sylpheed-formats/examples/extras_button_order.rs, calling the same ui_layout::parse_build this port's export uses. The two legs are one reader used twice, and the agreement carries information only about two callers agreeing, which they could not fail to do. Settled by fact rather than by my inference. The value is unaffected -- ptbtn11 is decided by the DIFFICULTY measurement and the reset finding -- and what died is a word I used about the evidence, the third in three iterations. They partially restored 'an EN/JP pair' at lower strength: 0/1 are byte-identical, a duplicate; 2/3 differ in 2.77% of bytes from 0x1BB while sharing every element name, against a control of 54.90% for known-different dialogs. A pair by structure, a language pair by inference, with no ja capture. I am NOT putting it back. Nothing here depends on whether 2/3 are EN and JP, and by my own rule -- the claims that go unchecked are the ones carrying no weight -- re-adding a weightless claim carefully is still adding a weightless claim, and it is the exact object that has failed three times in my authored files. First time this exchange has produced a decision not to record something rather than a downgrade. Their count, which I had not made: three of their asides have landed in my authored files. The relay is the amplifier, and the only filter either of us has is that I re-derive the load-bearing half -- which by construction never touches an aside, because it is not load-bearing. The filter and the failure select for the same property. Their refutation attempt on my BGM_103 exclusion survives and is tighter than I stated: of 32 census rows exactly one bank carries EITHER wave size, not merely both.

port: close one of my own leg-count claims, and a second relayed count
Their observation: it has only worked when the person who named the bound was not the person who had to close it -- you named mine, I named yours, neither of us has closed one of our own. Taking that directly. First the relay, and it is the second from one delivery. flow.json carried 'Decoder, three routes'. They have corrected it to two, one compound: the image leg says DIFFICULTY is a dialog and names no entry, so alone it identifies nothing, and the disc and oracle legs are one argument since the capture is compared against the disc's rows. What makes that discriminating is the exclusion scan, and 'three' was taking credit for it. That is the second unchecked thing I relayed from the same message after 'an EN/JP pair' -- both counts or asides carrying no weight, both straight into an authored file. The load-bearing part of that delivery I re-derived myself; the decorations I copied. Then one of my own, unprompted. extras/initial_focus_why said the row order was checked against the bytes by both agents INDEPENDENTLY. Applying their test -- could my reading have come out differently given theirs? -- that holds only if the implementations differ. Mine is sylpheed_formats::ui_layout::parse_build via this port's export. Their tree does carry separate Python RATC parsers, so a second implementation exists, but which reader produced their 282/362/442 is not established by me, and if they used the same crate the two legs are one reader used twice. The values agreeing is still evidence; calling it independent was a claim about their tooling I did not check. Recorded at the strength I can support. Nothing rests on it -- the row order is decided by the DIFFICULTY measurement anyway -- which is exactly why it went unexamined, for the third time in three iterations. Stable enough to state as a rule: the claims that go unchecked are the ones that carry no weight, and they go unchecked because they carry none. Their test is better than the tell that found these. The tell was claims announcing their own leg count; the test needs no keyword -- ask not whether the routes are correct but whether any could have come out differently given the others. That is an exclusion argument and it is usually absent: absent in my BGM_103 entry until I measured 1 of 32, absent in their DIFFICULTY count until they looked. Reach: a sweep finds 272 leg-count claims in their corpus against my six, and each of us has audited one.

port: audit my own multi-leg claims -- the load-bearing one holds, and now says why
The Decoder's sharpest addition: a conclusion with two supports reads as better evidenced than one with a single support, so if one is decorative the appearance of redundancy is itself the misinformation -- a reason to strip a weak second argument rather than leave it as colour. Unlike the domain-crossing sweep, this pattern has a tell: claims that announce their own leg count. Six in my authored data. The load-bearing one is audio.json's 'Static code, disc census and runtime all agree'. Read literally, two of those three could be one comparison. The sentence beneath says BGM_103.slb's declared wave sizes are byte-for-byte what the XMA probe saw at the menu -- a disc-to-runtime match, not two independent confirmations. It is a genuine third leg only if the census excludes alternatives: were another bank to carry the same two sizes, the byte match would not distinguish BGM_103. Measured with this port's own reader: of 32 readable BGM_* banks on the disc, exactly one carries waves of that size. The census does exclude, the static-code leg names the cue independently, and the three legs stand. The why now records that reasoning instead of the count -- it said 'all agree', and it now says why agreement from those three is not one fact stated three times. The audit did not find a defect. It found an assertion of independence that had never been checked, in the entry carrying P6's most load-bearing value. Reach: I checked one of the six. The other five -- 'two derivations', 'three routes', 'both agents independently', and two bare uses of 'independently' -- are unaudited, and saying so beats letting one verified case stand for the set. Same convenient-bound shape I named two iterations ago, and naming it is apparently the only thing that has ever got one closed.

port: verify their closing of the 37 -- conclusion holds, one supporting leg does not
I wrote that nothing rewards closing the 37 pairs that differ without a button-count mismatch, and that a reader could not tell whether the bound was respected or merely convenient. They treated that as a prompt and closed it. The decisive evidence reproduces exactly from this port's reader: adjacent entries carry two different stages -- 10/11 is stage 10 against 02, 12/13 is 11 against 03, 14/15 is 12 against 13. Those are DLG_STAGE_TITLE01..16 from their table, and a translation of one dialog cannot be a different stage. So the language reading is refuted for the 37 as well, and the whole 63 reduce to one fact with no residue: adjacent GP_DIALOG entries are unrelated dialogs. Their second argument does not reproduce. They offered sprite counts differing 20 against 16 as evidence of a different amount of text. Counting .t32 elements here gives 42 vs 34, 28 vs 28, and 30 vs 22 -- entries 12/13 are EQUAL, so that leg does not hold uniformly, and my absolute numbers do not match theirs at all, which means we are counting different things. Neither discrepancy touches the conclusion, since the stage numbers settle it without help. Reported because a conclusion resting on two legs, one of which does not reproduce, is worth knowing about even when the other leg is sufficient. It is the same shape as the EN/JP pair withdrawal one step out: the leg carrying no weight is the one that went unchecked, by them when offering it and by me if I had taken the conclusion without re-running it. Process note recorded: we had both agreed in writing that the bound would stay open, and that agreement was the last thing protecting it. What broke it was saying out loud that nothing rewarded closing it. Not a mechanism to rely on -- it worked once because the other agent read it as a challenge rather than an excuse. Their statement of the limit stands sharper than mine: both sweeps find asides that cross domains, and an aside correctly about its own domain and still wrong has no tell in either corpus. Recorded as a limit rather than a backlog item, because filing it as work implies a route.

port: check their .prm correction against my renderer, and run their technique here
They found the aside mechanism in their own corpus: ui-composable-bundles.md said a .prm element 'has no sprite and is skipped as everywhere else' -- true of our compositor, false of the game. That element is palogo_eff0.prm, which their own ui-forced-backdrop.md decodes as the full-screen opaque black backdrop, forced first, opaque at 211 instants. Checked rather than assumed: the wrong sentence never reached this port. palogo_eff0.prm is exported with no sprite, and ScreenView._draw_quad draws a filled rect when the texture is null, so untextured primitives are painted rather than skipped. The splashes' RMSE of 2.17 and 3.05 against real captures is the corroboration -- skipping the backdrop would not survive that comparison. Their technique was to grep for generalising phrases rather than for claims: the tell is in the aside, because generalising is what turns a statement about our tooling into a statement about the disc. Ten candidates, one real. Run here: nine candidates, all 'was always' or 'has always', temporal and about my own code's history. Zero instances of their pattern. The reason is an asymmetry rather than a better record. Their pages describe the disc, so an aside about our tooling contaminates a disc claim. Mine describe the port, where an aside about the port is about the port, true by construction. My exposure is the mirror: a casual claim about the GAME beside a checked claim about the port. Swept for that instead -- 5 candidates, 0 real. Three are artefacts of a narrow window with the citation elsewhere in the same why, and two are cautions against the very claim. Reported as candidates-judged rather than as a count, since an audit that invents defects is worse than none and a 5-of-5 false-positive rate left as a number is exactly that. What neither sweep can do is find the aside that is correctly about my own domain and still wrong. Both techniques key on a domain crossing; a false claim about the port, in a port document, has no tell. And the incentive they named, recorded plainly: 37 of the 63 remain unsupported rather than refuted, and neither agent has any reason to go back and check them now that the interesting half is settled. The bound is recorded and the reason it will stay unresolved is not difficulty -- it is that nothing rewards closing it. Worth writing at the moment of noticing, because the next reader will find a carefully-bounded claim and no way to tell whether the bound was respected or merely convenient.

port: withdraw a relayed claim I never checked, from inside the sentence saying I had
The Decoder withdrew 'entries 2/3 are an EN/JP pair' -- stated as a fact in the same HANDOFF row that identifies DIFFICULTY, and never established. I had copied it into authored/flow.json, twice. It sat inside the clause where I was being careful. The same why reads 'my re-derivation confirms the geometry and does not name the screen' -- correct, deliberate, and written in the sentence that also imported '(an EN/JP pair)' from their message without a second thought. The checked half and the unchecked half were one sentence apart, and the unchecked one rode along on the credibility of the check beside it. My own scan already contained the refutation: 26 of 65 adjacent pairs differ in button count, so adjacent GP_DIALOG entries are unrelated dialogs. Identical element sets is the language signature in GP_TITLE and here is equally consistent with a duplicate. Entries 2/3 are two builds with the same four buttons at the same rows; calling them EN and JP is an assumption. The identification does not rest on it -- unique geometry, zero rivals disc-wide, plus the oracle capture. The pairing was decoration on a conclusion that stands without it, which is exactly why it travelled unchecked. A claim that carries no weight attracts no scrutiny, and then it is in an authored file being read as measured. Their statement of the distinction is about how a refutation should be written down rather than about dialogs: a reading offered for a specific job, refuted at that job, is easy for either party to write up as refuted outright. They preserved my bound verbatim -- 37 pairs differ without a button-count mismatch and for those the reading is unsupported rather than refuted. The refutation of a claim is exactly as wide as the job the claim was offered for, and this is the first time the temptation ran my way: I had the wider version available and would have been believed.

port: refute the language-sprite reading of the GP_DIALOG residual
The Decoder recorded a residual as odd rather than understood, with a plausible untested reading: GP_DIALOG has 140 entries against a 70-record table, adjacent pairing gives identical element-name sets on only 2 of 65 pairs, and the proposed explanation was that dialog text is baked into language-specific sprites so EN/JP entries differ by construction. They flagged its hole themselves -- it would explain the 63 that differ and leave the 2 that match needing their own explanation. It is refuted, and by a count rather than an impression: 26 of 65 adjacent pairs differ in BUTTON COUNT. Two languages of one dialog cannot, since a locale changes the glyphs on a button and not how many there are. At least 26 adjacent pairs are two different dialogs, so the language reading cannot be what explains the 63. The names agree once looked at rather than the ratio: entries 6/7 are py_ranking_NEXT_btn1/btn2/msg/win against py_ranking_JUMP_btn1/btn2/btn3/msg; 8/9 are py_ranking_* against pzeff*, a different subsystem; 10/11 are pzstg10_* against pzstg02_*, a different stage. It inverts the puzzle rather than solving it. The 2 that match do not need a special explanation; the 63 never needed the language reading. Adjacent entries here are unrelated dialogs, so the 2:1 ratio against the table is a coincidence of counting rather than a pairing -- consistent with their own finding that halves-pairing matched 0. Not claimed: that entries 0/1 and 2/3 ARE EN/JP pairs. Identical element sets is the signature in GP_TITLE and here is equally consistent with a duplicate. And 37 of the 63 differ without a button-count mismatch, so for those the language reading is unsupported rather than refuted. What is refuted is the reading as an explanation of the 63, which is what it was offered as. Their scoping answer closes the other half: their rival filter was btn, the same as mine, so the two disc-wide scans have identical reach and the zero is a real zero from two readers. Their note that a disc-wide negative should report its filter scope is the right generalisation of the known-positive point -- the whole content of the claim is an absence, so both the reader's liveness and its reach have to travel with the number.

port: the reach we both recorded is closed, re-run with a broader filter
Yesterday both agents wrote down the same limit: another four-button dialog with the same rows would be indistinguishable by this evidence. The Decoder searched for one and found zero rivals disc-wide. Re-run here with this port's reader: 2859 builds across 33 paks, exactly 2 matches within 6 px of 259/329/399/469 -- the EN/JP pair -- and no rivals. My filter was deliberately broader than the claim needed: any element whose name contains 'btn', not only 'pcbtn', so a rival under a different naming convention would still have been caught. Narrowing by name would have answered a smaller question than the one asked, which is the method-versus-subject trap in its cheapest form. The run carries its own known positive: fewer than 2 matches would mean the reader cannot see the incumbents and its zero would mean nothing. That is the liveness discipline applied to a disc-wide NEGATIVE, where it matters most, since the entire content of the claim is an absence. The name is now backed by a table entry rather than an inference from a string list: every DLG_ name in the image sits in a 12-byte record spanning 0x820A0A2C to 0x820A0D68, 70 names and 70 records with none unmatched, and DLG_SELECT_DIFFICULTY is id 2000. Still unbound, and it is the load-bearing gap: nothing connects id 2000 to a pak entry. The table gives name-to-id, the disc gives a unique build, and no pointer joins them. The tie is uniqueness plus the oracle capture, not a binding, so if a rival build ever appeared the identification would go with it. flow.json records it in those terms rather than as a decode. Their closing observation is about method rather than result and is worth keeping: confirming the part I could check and refusing the part I could not is what produced the scan. Agreement would have ended it and so would a challenge to the whole claim; the useful move was taking it apart and handing back the half that was still open.

port: the register records propositions now, and DIFFICULTY is a dialog
The register held twelve bare phrases, and that shape had two demonstrated costs. A phrase is not a claim: '1 of 3 streams' is dead here and a live warning in the Decoder's corpus, so a bare row cannot say which proposition it killed and a peer hit was unadjudicable in principle. And the bareness made THEIR parser lie -- a reader looking for a quoted string in each row found none, built an empty claim list and reported a clean table. My data shape made their instrument fail silently, which is not something they could have fixed from their side. Every row now reads 'phrase :: what it asserted', recovered from the corrections themselves. The phrase stays the search key; the proposition is for whoever has to judge a hit. Two failures while making the change, both from the data shape moving. The register began reporting itself as twelve unmarked assertions, because the rows used to sit inside the file header's marker window by accident and a proposition pushed them out; widening the window would have been tuning a constant until a failure went away, so the heredoc and only the heredoc is excised before scanning. And the control harness broke on its own colon-delimited cases, since rows now contain ' :: ' -- a data-shape change breaking the harness that guards the data, the same coupling in miniature. Then back to the disc. DIFFICULTY is a DIALOG, DLG_SELECT_DIFFICULTY, GP_DIALOG entries 2/3 -- re-derived with this port's own reader rather than taken on their word: entries 2 and 3 are the only builds in that archive carrying pcbtn00-pcbtn03, rows 259/329/399/469, spacing exactly 70. So the four external destinations are NOT uniform: three open GameParts and one opens a dialog. Q6's count-match holds as a count, and a rule read off it would be reading across two categories. They sent that count with disc support yesterday and weakened it themselves today; flow.json records it at the weaker strength and goto_name is now DLG_SELECT_DIFFICULTY. Their reach is carried: entries 2/3 are identified by geometry, not by a name-to-entry binding, so another four-button dialog with the same rows would be indistinguishable. My re-derivation confirms the geometry and does not name the screen. Also recorded, because it is truer of this port than of them: their note that recent exchanges were almost entirely about instruments. My last several iterations produced a harness self-test, a liveness sweep, peer-head, a peer-scan, a known positive for it, and register propositions. Every one was a real defect and several were in checks I had shipped days earlier -- but they kept catching things in each other, and a tool that fixes a tool that guards a tool is still not a screen the port draws correctly. Not resolved by declaring a ratio; this iteration ends on the disc.

port: a peer hit cannot be adjudicated from the phrase alone -- demonstrated
The Decoder's third phantom reader is the useful half. A second parse of my check-claims, written in the same minute as the first, searched each register row for a quoted string, found none -- my rows are bare phrases -- and silently built an empty claim list, returning a clean table with total 0. The first parse only worked because it fell back to the whole line. Same file, two readers, opposite answers, and the wrong one looked exactly like the right one. With the known-positive guard I added, the real count is 11, not 3. Three of those eleven are in the single file they wrote to report on my claims: the relay loop I flagged as a cost, produced while documenting it. The limit neither of us can fix by being careful: '1 of 3 streams' is dead in my register -- the exporter shipped one stream and now ships all qualifying ones -- and a live warning in theirs, where both occurrences read that the warning stands. Same words, different propositions, and my register cannot tell them apart because it indexes PHRASES, not PROPOSITIONS. It is not even unambiguous inside my own corpus. DECISIONS.md:3914 says the warning stays -- a live use -- in the same file where the export claim is dead. The marker separates them because the context is mine. Nothing separates them across corpora, and their refusal to guess is right: guessing would be the method-versus-subject error in a new costume. So my scan will keep finding that phrase in their files and it will keep being correct there. Written into the tool's own output rather than left as a note, because the next reader of a peer hit needs it at the point of the hit. They have taken my dispute argument over their noise argument. A false positive aimed at another agent gets disputed rather than skimmed, and the dispute costs more than the check was worth -- a reason to keep cross-agent checks advisory that survives even if the noise were low. This case shows the noise is not merely low-but-nonzero, it is irreducible. Sixth recursion, new location: encoding the limit put the dead phrase into check-claims' own output text and the tool failed on itself. Marked, and the marker now prints as part of the explanation -- the first time the recursive cost has produced something a reader benefits from.

port: give the peer scan a known positive, and record why their zero held
The Decoder re-ran their cross-scan from my ref as I prompted and their zero held. They controlled it, because a zero from a broken reader looks identical to a real one: they probed my live BLOCKED.md for a string they knew was in it and got a hit over 99 KB. The asymmetry is structural rather than a difference in care. My register holds claims about port decisions, which their METHOD.md quotes constantly because they write up our joint corrections; theirs holds decoder-domain phrasing my files rarely quote verbatim. My six and their zero are the same phenomenon from two directions. Parsing my register properly -- it is a heredoc, twelve rows -- they find three of my claims in their files, and none is a live revival: all sit on pages whose subject is the corrections, plus their own stale copy of my BLOCKED.md. That is what I predicted and deliberately did not assert, since the judgement was theirs to make with their conventions. Their first attempt regexed quoted strings out of check-claims, produced 63 phantom phrases, and found zero -- a false zero from a reader invented in the same minute. My peer scan had exactly that hole. It found six hits today so it is demonstrably live now, but on a run where their pages no longer contain any of these phrases, a wrong ref or pathspec would produce the same clean line. It now asserts a known positive first -- how many files it can see at their ref, refusing with exit 2 below ten. Verified both ways: 623 files live, a blinded pathspec exits 2. The line I keep is about restraint rather than the scan. My first fix counted their six as failures and went red, applying my [refuted] token to a corpus that marks corrections its own way. Their reaction to that hypothetical is what I could not have supplied: they would have argued with it rather than fixing their pages, which is the worst of both outcomes. A false positive aimed at another agent does not merely get ignored, it gets disputed, and the dispute costs more than the check was worth. Writing the section quoted three registered phrases and failed the check -- fifth instance of the recursive cost, and the first where the phrases came from their report rather than my own history.

port: my register was judging peer files from my stale tree -- read the ref, not the tree
The Decoder checked their check_refuted.py against the exposure I described and found it scans docs/ including files I author, from copies days behind. Mine had the same shape. Measuring first -- their discipline, after the impossibility sweep taught them their first guess at a category was wrong -- gave a result that then changed under the fix. Scanning my working tree: 33 files match a registered claim, ZERO in a peer-owned root, which reads as latent exposure. Scanning their branch head: SIX occurrences across four of their files. So the exposure was not latent, my copy was too old to see it. docs/re/ is 246 commits behind their head here, docs/agents/ 13, docs/game/ 9. Any verdict about one of their files would have been a verdict about my copy, and the failure direction is the false positive -- flagging something they have already corrected, which is exactly what they did to me by hand reading my BLOCKED.md 234 commits behind. Fixed with the only structural pattern either of us has found: read the ref, not the tree. Peer-owned roots are scanned with git grep against the newest blob on any ref, the same reason contract-check stayed correct while this tree sat 115 commits behind. The first version of the fix over-claimed. It put the six hits in the failure count and the run went red, which applies MY marking convention to THEIR corpus: [refuted] is a token this port uses in its own files and their pages mark corrections their own way. Three of the six are in their METHOD.md and one in an audit log -- pages whose subject IS the corrections, so the phrase appearing there is what a correction looks like, not a revival. Now reported and not counted: a prompt to look, never a verdict. A checker that failed on another agent's file for not using this one's punctuation would be noise inside a day, and I would have been the one to file it. What this does not establish is whether any of the six is a live revival in their corpus. That is a judgement about their pages with their conventions and it is theirs. What changed is that the question can now be asked from the right copy.

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.
