port: put verify-menu-audio's control in check-all
Every other assertion in check-all has a control; audio was the one that did not, which is how it went weeks unable to fail. Control measured just now: with move absent from the baseline the diagonal reads +0.000, the check reports 'at least one cue is not sounding' and exits 1. |

port: verify-menu-audio could not FAIL -- the verdict never reached an exit code
It computed ok, printed a red line when a cue was silent, and the python had no exit path at all, so it returned 0 every time while check-all registered it must-pass. A cue could stop sounding and the suite would print the failure and stay green. This project's recurring defect one level up: not an instrument sitting below the thing under test, but one that SEES the failure and does not report it. The diagonal now exits. The no-op-silence and cue-order lines stay REPORTED -- both carry documented cross-run instability (whole-buffer recording shifts; a 0.15 margin this file's own comments show reaching 0.109 on a sounding cue), and making either binding would produce red on correct audio. --control feeds it a walk in which move never sounded, built from the tool's own suppression machinery, and requires it to fail. |

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

port: the splash never animated -- pose_at ASSIGNED the settle instant instead of clamping to it
The 2026-09-02 play-test: "the logos just switch, I cannot discern any animation
at all." Reproduced, diagnosed, fixed, and gated by a film.
REPRODUCED FIRST, as instructed. tools/motion-census needed Pillow, which this
container has no pip for, so it got an ImageMagick fallback that shims only the
four Pillow calls it uses -- the census arithmetic, the MOVED floor and the GRID
are untouched. Its --selftest passes on that backend with the human's own
numbers: fade 97.4 %, switch 2.6 %, frozen 0.0 %. A shim that distorted pixels
would fail its own control.
publisher 0.30 s moving then 3.30 s FROZEN (human: 0.30 then 3.20)
developer 0.40 + 0.25 split then 2.45 FROZEN (human: 0.35 + 0.25 then 2.40)
Matched to within a frame.
THE CLOCK WAS NEVER THE PROBLEM. view_units advances 2.8-3.0 per frame, smooth,
~60 units/s, no stalls -- the play-test's candidate list can drop "the group
clock not integrating" and "advancing by keyframe index".
THE POSE WAS. Measuring the sharp logo's own rect frame by frame: 0.40549 flat
from unit 7.9 through 28.2 -- the same value it holds at 45 and beyond. It was
already FULL before its declared ramp (15 -> 30) began.
Cause, in ScreenView.pose_at:
t = settle_instant if settle_instant >= 0.0 else minf(t, settle_units(element))
The comment above it says "stop at the hold". The else-branch clamps. This half
ASSIGNS, so from a screen's first frame every element was posed at the settled
instant and no build-in was ever drawn. The asymmetry is the whole defect, and
`--time` sets `frozen`, which skips the clamp -- which is exactly why my frozen
sweep "proved" the companions were drawn and proved nothing about running.
Fix: `minf(t, settle_instant)`. One operator.
⚠️ AND THE HOLD IS NOT THE BUG. The Decoder measured the game holding one picture
for 3.34 s on this screen -- LONGER than the port's 3.30 -- because palogo_sqex
declares 205 of its 255 units as a flat plateau. The play-test's "a fade does not
hold one picture for 3.20 s" would have sent me to delete the one correct part.
Clamping keeps the plateau exactly.
GATED BY A FILM, not a still:
before after game (Decoder)
publisher build-in 0.30 s 0.60 s
developer build-in 0.40+0.25 0.95 s continuous
splash moving 12.0 % 24.8 % 21.2 % / 27.8 %
distinct luma states 120 152
longest frozen 3.30 s 3.30 s 3.34 s
🔴 AND IT LOOKED LIKE A 10x REGRESSION AGAINST THE ORACLE, WHICH IT WAS NOT.
verify-capture went publisher 2.17 -> 22.58, title 14.11 -> 67.07. Cause: it
shoots two frames after load and got the settled pose ONLY because pose_at
assigned it. Its own comment says so -- "the 0.01 % agreements on both splashes
were measured through that accident."
So the `--screen --capture` path now advances the clock to the settle instant
explicitly before shooting, which is what the tool was always asking for. Guarded
on `not _frozen`: `--time` means the caller wants THAT instant, and overriding it
would reintroduce the silent-ignore this replaces.
Every oracle row is back to its pre-fix value to the digit: publisher 2.17
(0.01 %), developer 3.05 (0.01 %), title 14.11, main_menu 13.02, extras 13.10,
title_plate 13.04. The port animates AND still matches the settled captures.
Not settled: motion-census is not yet wired into check-all -- next, and
deliberately not rushed at the end of a long iteration.

agents: the splash does not animate, and three instruments could not see it
Some checks failed
A human on a GPU at ~140 fps: "the logos just switch, there is no animation at
all." Measured from a real boot with --film at 0.05 s, then per-frame change:
splash moves 1.30 s of 7.95 s = 16.4 %
publisher splash 0.30 s of motion, then 3.20 s FROZEN
developer splash 0.35 s + 0.25 s, then 2.40 s FROZEN
distinct luma states in 7.95 s 26
A 45-unit build-in cannot be drawn in 26 states, and a fade does not hold one
picture for 3.20 s. The frame counter says 24.8 fps achieved; both are true --
the port is DRAWING 25 times a second and CHANGING almost never.
🔴 Why every check passed, which matters more than the bug:
frozen sweep drives the clock BY HAND -- proves the renderer can draw
pose N, never that the poses are drawn in sequence
settled compare 0.01 % against the capture -- a screen frozen 84 % of the
time matches a settled reference PERFECTLY, that is what
frozen means
achieved fps counts frames DRAWN -- the same pixels 25x/s scores
identically to animating
Every one measured throughput or a pose. None measured CHANGE. Same shape as
InputEventAction bypassing the input map: the instrument sat below the thing
that was broken, so the break could not appear in it.
tools/motion-census closes the class. It measures change and nothing else, and
its --selftest asserts it separates a fade (97.4 % moving) from a switch (2.6 %)
from a frozen film (0.0 %) -- a detector that cannot tell those apart would
report the same green line on all three.
Both briefs: this is the SOLE focus. The port reproduces before changing
anything and gates every fix on a film rather than a still. The decoder maps the
whole pipeline end to end -- disc bytes, the game's per-frame update (does it
interpolate between keyframes or hold?), what is submitted per frame, and what
Canary does to it before a capture records it -- delivered as a SERIES, not a
settled value.
The port should also record the refutation against itself: H2 reads ANSWERED on
the strength of the frozen sweep. The mechanism half stands, the blur is a baked
companion texture. The behaviour half does not.

port: hold at 60 against a better 120, audit the switch, and name its falsifier first
The Decoder measures 120 units/s with a content-hash experiment carrying the controls the withdrawn version lacked -- a static texture hashing constant (1 change in 403 samples) and movie luma not constant (102 distinct) -- against pre-registered bands the observed 0.5739 falls inside. It is a better experiment than either it replaces. THE PORT HAS NOT MOVED. It is their third position on this number in one day, reach is one boot, and they said themselves that a second independent boot before a timeline is rewritten is the defensible call. Agreed. ⚠️ And 60 is not defended either -- its bracket was withdrawn this morning. Both numbers are undefended. The port keeps the one it ships because switching on a single capture is a worse failure than holding on none. That is the whole reasoning and it is not evidence about the game. ✅ THE AUDIT THEY ASKED FOR COMES OUT CLEAN. "If seconds are baked in anywhere, they all move." No seconds are baked into the timeline: every second this port prints or acts on is computed as units / keyframe_units_per_second at the point of use -- settle_time, exit_time, _overlay_quit_at, the boot log. audio.json's loop_start_s / loop_end_s ARE seconds and correctly do NOT follow the constant; they are positions in an audio file with no keyframe unit in them. So the switch is one number in one file. 🔴 ONE EXCEPTION, AND IT WAS HIDING BEHIND A COMMENT ABOUT NOT DRIFTING. tools/port/verify-dwell read black_hold_units from the authored file "so it cannot drift again" -- and then divided by a literal 60.0. The value could not drift; the conversion could, and would have gone silently wrong the moment the constant moved, which is under active dispute right now. Harmless only because the hold is 0. Fixed to read the rate from the same file it already opens. That is the third time in this corpus a `why` has described a property the code did not have, and the first where the comment and the defect were one line apart. 📌 AND THE FALSIFIER IS PRE-REGISTERED, BEFORE ANY SECOND BOOT, in docs/port/units-per-second-switch-readiness.md. At 120 every declared interval halves: the plate lands at 1.967 s, the publisher splash runs 2.125 s and the developer 1.750 s. Three cold boots measured those splashes at 4.30/4.60/4.37 and 3.51/3.50/3.37. So 120 and the dwell corpus cannot both be right in wall-clock seconds -- the same collision that killed the 35 units/s proposal from the other direction, arriving from the opposite side. Either those dwells carry the emulator's speed factor, which would make them worth exactly as little as the 2.13 s route the Decoder has already declined to lean on, or 120 is wrong. Naming that now is the point of writing it before the boot rather than after. What would move this port: a second independent boot agreeing, AND a statement on whether the cold-boot dwell corpus survives the same speed-factor objection that the 2.13 s route does not. The first without the second leaves a 2x contradiction standing between two numbers the port would then hold at once. Not settled: the constant; the clock origin, which every ratio and count above survives untouched; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual; the allowance's grep trigger.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

port: 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 -- 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
branch verified by raising the thresholds: report suppressed, exit 2.

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: 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 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: 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

port: EXTRAS resets, measured -- and being right by luck is not evidence
Ring at 347.5 on entry (MISSION SELECT), 427.5 after one delivery-confirmed DOWN, 347.5 on re-entry with the frame 0.0% different from first entry, screen confirmed by eye because an earlier run was fooled about which screen it was on. Two things settle here. The caveat on extras/initial_focus comes off: MISSION SELECT is a genuine initial focus, because a screen that RESETS cannot have a single-entry reading that is measuring history -- that objection was live only while persistence here was unknown. And focus_persists: false for extras is now written explicitly with kind: measured. Nothing changes at runtime, since the port already defaulted to false; the point is that an absent key and a measured false behave identically and mean opposite things -- 'nobody looked' versus 'the game was watched doing it' -- and only the second is visible to audit-kinds. It does not vindicate how it got there and is not recorded as if it did. For one iteration contract-check ASSERTED extras non-persistence with nothing behind it, the Decoder flagged it, and the measurement then agreed. Their separation is sharper than my own account was: declining to generalise the memory was correct, on the evidence then and on measurement now, since the two screens genuinely disagree -- but encoding 'not measured here' as a positive assertion of the negative was a different move that happened to land. Being right by luck does not retroactively make it evidence. The check is rewritten to rest on the measurement rather than left in place looking vindicated. guard_focus_scope no longer polices 'only main_menu': there is no menu-wide rule to state, since two measured screens disagree. It now states both measured values and counts the screens that say nothing, printing UNMEASURED, not 'resets'. Untested and not built on: OPTIONS, LOAD GAME, TUTORIAL. And nobody can separate 'resets to MISSION SELECT' from 'resets to the top item' -- they coincide, since ptbtn11 is both. The port's value is right under either reading and the reason is not established, which matters the day a screen is authored whose opening item is not its first. 16 kind labels audited clean, 14 controls firing, every asserting check passes. The P5 walk artifact now matches a measurement on both halves rather than one measurement and one default.

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

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

port: correct a check that asserted an absence of measurement as a finding
The pair I shipped this iteration -- focus_persists on for main_menu, off everywhere else -- reported both halves as agreement with the contract. Nothing measured that extras does not persist. The corpus has EXTRAS' opening item from one entry and (B) restoring the PARENT's focus 4/4; neither says what a submenu's own cursor does on re-entry. Caught by the Decoder. It is the mirror of the trap it was written to avoid. I refused to let a derived menu-wide rule overwrite a measured value, then let 'not measured here' become a positive assertion of the negative. Both treat a gap in the corpus as if it carried information and differ only in which direction they fill it. And the failure mode was the bad one: if the game does persist EXTRAS, the check holds the port to the wrong behaviour and passes while doing it. check_focus_persists now asserts only the measured half. The scope became a separate guard with its own outcome word -- 'only main_menu, AUTHORED DEFAULT, unmeasured elsewhere' -- which still fails if widened, since that should be a deliberate edit, but can no longer be read as the game being known to reset. focus_persists_why records the correction rather than being rewritten. It also weakens a label. EXTRAS' initial_focus is marked measured and was taken on a single entry; now that the main menu is known to remember its cursor, a one-entry reading of any screen may be measuring history rather than what the screen opens on -- the same objection that reframed the TUTORIAL/NEW GAME disagreement. The observation stands, its reading as an initial focus does not. Caveat attached, kind left as measured with a note that it changes if EXTRAS turns out to persist. Not building on the non-persistence half until their EXTRAS re-entry run returns.
