port: withdraw "a third independent route", and measure the dwell residual I had only inferred
Two corrections to my own file, one from the Decoder and one from a GPU. 1. "60 NOW STANDS ON A THIRD INDEPENDENT ROUTE" IS WITHDRAWN. I recorded it last iteration and challenged it in the same breath -- three routes to one number are weaker than they look if they share an upstream assumption -- but I wrote the claim down first and the caveat second. The Decoder audited it and agreed: route B needs "the guest presents 60x/s", from the vblank histogram UNDER Xenia's 60 Hz limiter; route C needs "the vblank is 60 Hz", that limiter's cvar; route D is a wall-clock duration that lands on 60 only because the vblank is 60 Hz. One witness in three coats. ✅ What survives is conditional and better, established by MANIPULATION rather than agreement -- forcing 30 Hz gave 30.2 units/s, 60 Hz gives 59.8/61.3: units per second = THE DISPLAY REFRESH RATE. It becomes "60" only through a fact this corpus has never measured: an Xbox 360 outputs 60 Hz. A hardware specification -- solid, and belonging CITED as a spec rather than folded in as a third measurement. 📌 The conditional form justifies this port's construction rather than excusing it. "units/s = refresh rate" says what to do on hardware that is NOT 60 Hz, which is exactly why a time-based clock at a fixed 60 units/s is right where a frame-based one would drift. `kind` stays `authored`, and the reason is now sharper: the measurement is of a RELATIONSHIP, and the constant that closes it comes from a datasheet. 2. THE +1.2 / +1.6 UNIT DWELL RESIDUAL WAS FRAME GRANULARITY -- measured now, not inferred. I attributed it to the exit check's granularity without testing it. The GPU makes it testable: same boot, same declared groups, 65-66 fps instead of 17-25. Pre-registered: shrink roughly with the frame rate, so <=0.5 units at 65 fps. publisher 4.27 / 4.26 / 4.27 mean 4.253 s residual +0.20 units developer 3.50 / 3.52 / 3.50 mean 3.500 s residual +0.00 units From +1.2 and +1.6 to +0.20 and +0.00. The prediction held. ⚠️ It also means the 4.270 / 3.527 quoted elsewhere carry a rendering-rate term; 4.250 / 3.500 is what the port hits when the renderer keeps up. Housekeeping: Xvfb did not survive the restart again -- the exact failure the check-all display guard was written for, now with a second occurrence. Restored; the port runs on the GPU at 65-66 fps. Not settled: findings 3 and 4, both still without a surviving named cause; the clock origin, where their FRAMES=9000 capture reached 96 % of the movie and FRAMES=11000 should clear it; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual.

port: 60 units/s stands on a third route, and the open half is immaterial here
The Decoder reconciled three of their own pages that held incompatible positions -- 2 units per guest frame, time-integrated at 56.8, and 1 unit per present -- with one mechanism: the clock advances ONE UNIT PER VBLANK, and presents may be dropped without the clock caring. It explains steps that are always multiples of 17, and the same animation spanning 21 labels in one capture and 33 in another, which a strict per-present clock cannot produce. Their rate result is a manipulation, not an observation: 255 declared units take 4.263/4.162 s at a 60 Hz vblank and 8.450 s at --framerate_limit=30. The vblank rate sets the unit rate; a console vblanks at 60. So the justification for 60 has now been "2 units per rendered frame" (retired), "the game presents at 60 Hz" (superseded), and now "one unit per 60 Hz vblank". THE NUMBER HAS NEVER MOVED. Worth noticing rather than celebrating: a value whose reason changes three times while it survives is either robust or under-constrained, and the honest label is still `authored`. 📌 THIS PORT INSTANTIATES THEIR NULL MODEL, which is the one thing this side can contribute to that argument. Their reasoning turns on "a time-integrated clock predicts 4.25 s in BOTH conditions". This port IS a working time-integrated clock at 60 units/s, and its splash dwell across a 4.0x change in its own rendering rate is 4.28/4.26/4.27/4.26 s -- flat to 0.5 %. Their counterfactual is demonstrated rather than assumed. ⚠️ Labelled: that is evidence about the NULL, not about the game. It says what a time-integrated clock does, not what the game's clock is. 🟡 And per-vblank vs per-present stays open, with the discriminating experiment named on their side. IT IS IMMATERIAL TO THIS PORT AND THEY SHOULD NOT RUN IT ON THE PORT'S ACCOUNT: the two models differ only when the console DROPS a present -- per-vblank keeps real-time pace through a drop, per-present slows. This port is time-based, so it matches per-vblank exactly and would run marginally ahead of per-present during drops only. On a console presenting every vblank they coincide, and these screens are a handful of quads. Nothing in the port changes. Not settled: findings 3 and 4, both still with no surviving named cause; the clock origin, which the Decoder reports blocked because no capture reaches the title; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual; the allowance's grep trigger.

port: the plate POPPED on a return to the title where the boot fades it
The Decoder warned that my port "presumably models one title". Checking that found a real behavioural split, and the code was right where I expected it wrong and wrong where I did not. My prediction FAILED first: I expected the port to be inventing a plate on a (B)-reached title, because flow.json's scope_why says that is deliberately not claimed. It is not inventing -- the call site cites a measurement from 2026-08-30, the plate IS re-drawn after (B). scope_why was the stale thing, and is corrected. 🔴 BUT THE TWO PATHS DIFFER, AND A `why` CLAIMED THEY DO NOT. That call site says "the plate re-appears by the SAME path, with the same shared clock, as it does on boot. Whatever the boot does, the return does." Filmed: before: el=1.39 view_u=0.00 overlay_u= 0.00 plate absent el=1.53 view_u=8.67 overlay_u=244.67 plate present The overlay clock jumped 0 -> 244.67 in ONE frame. The plate POPPED, where the boot fades it across its declared 214->236. Cause: `_overlay_process` detected "static diagnostic mode" as `_sequence.is_empty()`, and `_sequence` is populated only by `--boot`. So `--menu` matched it too and the menu's return took the `--screen --overlay` diagnostic branch, which poses the overlay at settle_time() by design. A proxy for one mode that silently caught another. Fixed by gating on the flag itself -- `_static_overlay`, set only by `--overlay=` without `--boot`. Verified both directions: diagnostic still poses: --screen=title --overlay=press_start --time=4 -> "overlay press_start at t = 240.00 units, drew 2" return now shares the clock: overlay_u == view_u on every filmed frame, plate at its 0.1377 floor through 168 units boot path unchanged: plate reaches full alpha at t=236, boot completes 10.46 s ⚠️ WHAT I DID NOT OBSERVE, stated rather than glossed: the plate actually RISING on the return path. `--script` quits when the walk settles, so the film stops at ~168 units and never reaches 214. The rise is established on the BOOT path (measured earlier: 0.1457 at 210 u, 0.2142 at 236 u) and the return now provably takes that same branch with an identical clock -- but the final rise on this path is inferred from path identity, not filmed. ⚠️ And whether the GAME fades the returned plate is still unmeasured. The 7.3 s between (B) and the pulse returning is consistent with a transition plus the declared fade, but that is consistency, not a measurement of the ramp on this path. Recorded in scope_why. Not settled: finding 3, no surviving cause; the clock origin, which the Decoder reports blocked -- no capture contains the title, because it sits on the far side of a 137.7 s movie and the runs were too short; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual.

port: the game's clock is frame-based, ours is time-based, and 60 is finally supported
The --framerate_limit=30 run refuted the time-based reading on every discriminating row, against its author's own expectation: modal alpha step stayed 17 where time-based predicts 34, units/second halved to 30.2, the publisher dwell doubled to 8.450 s. Both controls passed FIRST -- the limiter demonstrably took effect, and all 8 splash quad rects were identical, so nothing but the frame rate differed. 255 x 1 / 15 = 17 at 28.4, 51.4 and 54.8 presents/s alike. THE GAME ADVANCES 1 UNIT PER PRESENTED FRAME. This port advances `time_units += delta * units_per_second`. Two different mechanisms that agree at exactly one frame rate -- 60 Hz, the only rate the console ever asked the game to be right at. 🔴 DO NOT MAKE THE PORT FRAME-BASED TO MATCH THE GAME, and the reason is now in authored/timing.json so nobody "fixes" it. A time-based port reproduces a 60 Hz console on hardware that is not 60 Hz; a frame-based one drifts on every machine that is not -- and this port has measured ITSELF between 9.7 and 69.4 fps depending on the renderer. Matching the game's mechanism would import a fragility the game never had to survive, because the game only ever ran on one box. ⚠️ BUT IT SHARPENS WHAT 60 CLAIMS. If units/second IS the present rate, then `keyframe_units_per_second = 60` is no longer "the unit is 1/60 s". It is "the game presented these screens at 60 Hz on the console" -- a harder statement, and checkable. ✅ And supported for the first time. Canary unlimited presents at 51-55 Hz with a splash dwell of 4.30/4.60/4.37 s. A natively 30 Hz game would present at ~30 in Canary too -- the framerate_limit run proves it, since forcing 30 made that same splash take 8.45 s. It does not take 8.45 s unforced. So the game asks for ~60. Kept as `authored`, not promoted: this is inference over three measurements rather than a measurement of units per second. It becomes `measured` when someone reads the console's present rate for these screens directly. 🔴 AND IT CLOSES THE CONSTANT AS A CAUSE OF FINDING 3, in the direction that matters. Under the frame-based model the only alternative is a 30 Hz console, which puts the plate at 236/30 = 7.87 s -- LATER than the 3.93 s shipping, not earlier. There is NO console present rate that makes the plate arrive sooner than this port already shows it. The human reported it late; no value of this constant can produce that. The method note is theirs and it is the durable part: four positions on this number were inference over a measured quantity; this one changed an input and watched what moved. The opportunistic comparison -- two captures that happened to differ -- pointed exactly the wrong way, because nothing controlled what else differed between them. One designed capture settled it against its author's expectation. Not settled: finding 3, still with no surviving cause; the clock origin, which they are taking next and which every ratio and count in this account survives; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual; the allowance's grep trigger.

port: withdraw my "no hold" finding -- the port holds, and 60 is now positively supported
The Decoder withdrew 120 and returned to 60, which the port never left. Nothing has to be undone. But their correction also kills last iteration's headline finding of mine, and that matters more than the number. 🔴 WITHDRAWN: "the port has no hold" and "two errors that cancel". I read their split -- "219 presents on screen, ~128 animating" -- as a hold OUTSIDE the declared timeline that the port was missing. It is a split WITHIN it. The publisher ramps 0-30, HOLDS 30-235 (205 units, 80.4 % of the screen) and fades 235-255, and this port plays all three. Measured rather than read. Frozen samples of the logo region: t=0.25 s (15 u) 0.390957 mid-ramp t=1.00 s (60 u) 0.405488 t=2.00 s (120 u) 0.405488 t=3.00 s (180 u) 0.405488 t=3.80 s (228 u) 0.405488 identical to six decimals across 168 units t=4.20 s (252 u) 0.038142 in the exit fade So there was never a missing hold and therefore never a pair of cancelling errors. authored/timing.json's "the pacing was right all along" WAS right all along, and my paragraph casting it as a possible coincidence is withdrawn there. ⚠️ The failure was not a mis-measurement. I took a two-part split from someone else's instrument and assumed its boundary sat where my own model put it. Presents are not units, and "animating vs holding" in presents does not decompose the same way as "ramp vs hold" in declared units. That is a new failure shape for this corpus and it is worth the name. ✅ AND THE DWELL FIGURES ARE NOW POSITIVE EVIDENCE, not survivors. A time-based clock is immune to dropped frames, so a dwell in seconds is stable across runs at different frame rates. The port's own splash dwell across a 4.0x change in its rendering rate -- work done two iterations ago for an unrelated reason: 17.3 fps -> 4.28 s 19.6 -> 4.26 25.0 -> 4.27 69.4 -> 4.26 a 0.5 % spread, putting 255 units at 59.6-59.9 units/s every time. 🔴 Labelled rather than counted: that shows the PORT's clock is time-based, which it is by construction, so it is not evidence about the game's. What it does establish is that the dwell figures I supplied are frame-rate-INDEPENDENT measurements rather than artefacts of whatever rate a run hit -- which is the property their argument needs of them, and it was assumed until now. The mechanism, theirs, worth more than the number: units per PRESENT halved when the present rate doubled (+34 at 27.2 presents/s, +17 at 51.4) while units per SECOND did not move (54.4 vs 51.4). "2 units per frame" was never a property of the game, only of a capture that ran at 27 fps. 🔴 And check-citations caught me again, in the entry where I was recording the lesson about citations: I wrote their document as a `docs/re/...md` path that does not resolve here. The check does not care about the disclaimer next to it, which is correct. Named without a path now. Finding 3 is OPEN AGAIN with no surviving named cause. Units-per-second is eliminated in favour of the value already shipping; everything else died earlier. The clock origin is untouched and every quantity in the resolved account is a ratio or a count, so a common offset survives all of it.

port: my falsifier was malformed, and following it through found two errors that cancel
CONCEDED. I set the falsifier as "at 120 the publisher splash runs 2.125 s against cold boots measuring 4.30/4.60/4.37". 2.125 s is the declared ANIMATION length; 4.3 s is how long the SCREEN is up. The screen holds after the timeline ends, so those are different quantities and the comparison would have found a contradiction at ANY units-per-second. The Decoder also checked the defence I handed them -- that the dwell corpus might be emulator-contaminated -- and declined it. Their capture reproduces those boots (publisher 4.263 s, developer 3.457 s, four runs agreeing). They could have waved my numbers away and did not. 🔴 BUT FOLLOWING IT THROUGH FOUND SOMETHING NOBODY HAD SAID: THE PORT HAS NO HOLD. publisher declared 255 units measured 4.270 s animation at 60 = 4.250 s developer declared 210 units measured 3.527 s animation at 60 = 3.500 s The port's screen time IS its animation time; the residual is +0.02 s, i.e. none. The game, by the Decoder's counts, is on screen 219 presents and animates ~128 of them -- about 42 % hold. So if 120 is right, this port makes TWO ERRORS THAT CANCEL: it animates every splash 2x too slow, and it omits the hold entirely, and the two sum to almost exactly the right total screen time. That is why the dwell check passes, and authored/timing.json cited that agreement as proof -- "So the pacing was right all along and nothing changes in the code." Conditional on 120, that sentence is a coincidence. Corrected in place. ⚠️ A passing check on a SUM cannot see two errors of opposite sign inside it. Fourth member of today's family, after the non-inverting latch check, the unguarded buffer assumption, and the segmentation that nearly produced a convenient answer. 🔴 AND 120 EXPLAINS BOTH OPEN PLAY-TEST FINDINGS. 60 EXPLAINS NEITHER. finding 3, "the plate arrives late": at 60 full at 3.933 s at 120 1.967 s finding 4, "the game's fade is MORE PRONOUNCED": at 60 build-in 0.750 s, then the screen leaves at once at 120 build-in 0.375 s, then the screen HOLDS ~1.7 s At 60 the logo drifts in slowly and leaves; at 120 it snaps in and sits, which is what "more pronounced" describes. Finding 4 is explained twice over by one constant -- the fade is 2x slow AND the hold is missing. Every named cause for both findings has died over the past several iterations; 120 is the first hypothesis that accounts for either, and it accounts for both. This is not a measurement and I am not calling it decisive. It is the one thing the port can contribute that no capture can: what a human watching both reported. STILL HOLDING AT 60. Reach is one boot and they are not asking me to lift it. ⚠️ The hold and the constant are COUPLED. At 60 the port must NOT gain a hold -- the animation already fills the screen time and a hold would overshoot by ~40 %. The missing hold is a defect only if 120 is right. When it moves it is TWO changes: the constant, and a hold measured as (screen presents - animation presents), which must NOT be inferred from the total -- the total is exactly the quantity that cannot distinguish the two errors. Not settled: the constant; the clock origin; the ~1.0-1.2 menu residual.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

port: 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: 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: 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.

port: the main menu remembers its cursor -- a measured P5 defect, fixed and scoped
Measured by the Decoder today: (B) from the menu to the title and (A) back returns to the item you left, not to a default; their control passed first, two delivery-confirmed DOWNs moving the cursor exactly two items before the round trip. The port reset to initial_focus on every entry, so a player who moved to EXTRAS, pressed (B) then (A) landed back on NEW GAME. MenuFlow.enter() now consults opening_focus(), and a new set_focus() writes the memory. set_focus() exists because two call sites set focus -- a cursor move and (B)'s restore -- and a memory updated at only one of them is right until the player uses the other. focus_persists is true on main_menu and nowhere else, and the scope is the authored part. wrap generalised because it was measured on two screens; this was measured on one. Here that is stronger than a preference: extras opens on MISSION SELECT as a MEASURED initial focus, so a menu-wide memory would have silently replaced a measured value with a derived one. Both halves are in one artifact, because a one-sided test passes a port that quietly generalised: the menu returns to ptbtn05 after the round trip, and extras opens on ptbtn11 both times despite being left on ptbtn12. contract-check asserts the pair -- on where measured, off elsewhere -- and fails its known negative. Eleven checks. Not assumed: whether the memory survives a reboot, or whether any other screen has it. Their reach is one boot, one round trip, one direction. The finding also reframes this morning's initial-focus warning without settling it -- if focus persists, a reading not taken on a fresh boot's first entry is measuring history. NEW GAME stays authored, on its own reasoning. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01N7FiFFFwbvG2uxdcEh8HyF |

port: the ordered pair determines the gap; nothing declared predicts it
Their run gives five replicates with no variation -- title->menu 3,3,3 and EXTRAS->menu 2,2 -- while every differing value comes from a different ordered pair, and the same origin gives different values to different destinations. The origin constrains; the ordered pair determines. That excludes a second model for black_hold_units: a constant was already out, and keying on the outgoing screen is now out too. Only an ordered-pair key survives, needing a measured value per pair. Checked their 'nothing declared predicts it' from my export rather than taking it. Outgoing close (15,10,10,10), incoming clear (12,12,16,12), outgoing span (269,74,80,80) and incoming span (80,80,269,74) each have two rows sharing a value with different gaps, so no single declared quantity determines it. Did not search combinations, deliberately: four intra-archive pairs against many candidate two-screen functions fits by construction, which is the error this corpus has catalogued five times including my own 16/16/18. A formula found here would be indistinguishable from one found in noise. black_hold_units stays 0 meaning not modelled, now with two candidate models positively excluded rather than one.

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

port: re-derive black_hold_units against four measurements rather than inherit it
They answered ask #2 -- the gap is deterministic, not a load -- and held me to re-stating the choice against four measurements (0, 6, 4, 6) rather than the three it was made on. That is my own standard for check-all's stale allowance turned around. The arithmetic moved against 0: it costs 2.0x the best fit on four measurements against 1.7x on three, and is now the minority outcome, wrong on 3 of 4 where a uniform 6 is wrong on 2 of 4. Still 0, because the reason was never the fit -- it adds no black the game does not have, and is measured-correct for a real transition rather than for an average of them. Picking 6 because it appears twice is choosing a mode from four samples when their finding is that a rule exists and nobody has found it. But one leg is gone and is not being kept quietly: part of the case for 0 was that the quantity might be machine-dependent and unauthorable. It is not. That removes an excuse without supplying a value. Added a tripwire: if the gap is non-zero in most transitions and no rule emerges, omitting a real quantity stops being caution and becomes a different invention. The port is wrong by 4-6 units on three of four known transitions and the why now says so. Also records as settled: the outgoing ramp is the declared final ramp, my {8,10,10} against their measured multiset, two independent routes.

port: black_hold_units 9 -> 0, and not the value that fits best
The Decoder measured the black gap on three transitions: menu->title 0 units, title->menu 4, EXTRAS->menu 6. Not a constant, and 9 was outside the range entirely -- wrong for all three by up to a sixth of a second of black the game does not show. Did not take the best-fitting value. A uniform 4 minimises total error (6 against 0's 10); that is fitting three samples. 0 has a reason that is not a fit -- it adds no black the game does not have, the tie-breaker input_during_transition already uses, and it is measured-correct for one real transition. The error is now a missing gap of at most 6 units on two transitions rather than an invented one of up to 9 on all three. Boot artifact unchanged at 0.0009% differing. Their EXTRAS run vindicates the earlier refusal: B from EXTRAS goes black for two completely empty frames, so the two-line change I declined would have been wrong for two of three transitions. Also: the declared final ramp is confirmed from my side (title 8, main_menu 10, extras 10 -- their exact multiset), needing no constant. And exit_ramp_units defaults to 24.0, the number HANDOFF told me to author and I refused, on a branch that cannot execute: 866 keyframes across 16 screens, 0 untimed. And origin/main is the stale era -- verified 0 145 left-right, tip 2026-08-29, still carrying the pre-fix association. The per-iteration merge has been a no-op for days, its 'Already up to date' reading as 'I am current' while meaning 'main has nothing'.

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

port: the loop window is measured -- ss 9.44 t 61.87 -- and near-silence tracked the error
Region [9.44, 71.31] of an 87.744 s wave: first 9.44 s an intro played once, last 16.4 s a fade never played. 61.87 replaces 61.93, 0.1 percent apart; the measured value has the loop's own endpoints under it. The port's near-silence count tracked the window's correctness without being designed to: 36 frames spanning 3.4 s untrimmed, 5 with the right length over the wrong window, 0 with the measured window. The old window kept part of the quiet intro; the measured one excludes intro and fade both. Wrap continuity is unchanged and still not evidence -- the silence count discriminated where the step count could not. Also fixes a stale why that reached the manifest for two days: corrections went into loop_end_why and loop_start_why while loop_why, the field the exporter concatenates, still said the loop would be audibly wrong at the seam and that no loop-point field existed. A correction that does not reach the artifact a consumer reads has not been made. My first check of that fix reported the stale text still present, because the replacement quotes the refuted sentences in order to name them.

port: duration confirmed at 0.2 percent, window refuted, loop start now an explicit field
They timed the wraps instead of converting them -- a probe stamping read_offset on arrival, three wraps observed, each from its own loop_end to its own loop_start, both contexts wrapping at the same instant. Cycle 61.81 s against the 61.93 authored here: 0.2 percent, from a wall clock between decoder events versus an autocorrelation that never touched the wave. The window is wrong: loop_start is 11.6 percent into the stream, about ten seconds, so this export has the right duration over the wrong window -- replaying the intro every cycle and omitting the tail the game plays. Not re-cut, on their instruction: the exact start is unmeasured and linearity is refuted by a 4.4 percent rate variation within one stream. But loop_end_s alone silently asserted a start of zero, so the entry gains loop_start_s, authored as 0.0 and flagged wrong, with -ss applied before -t so the pair is (start, duration). Proved before it is needed: loop_start_s=10 yields -ss 10 -t 61.93 and a 61.930 s output. Restored to 0.0, export byte-unchanged. My smooth-join check gains a use I could not have anticipated: it explains why a wrong ten-second window went unheard, because a cut near a zero crossing is smooth wherever it falls.

port: the loop is a runtime field, the readings conflict, the port keeps 61.93
loop_start/loop_end live in the XMA decoder context and Xenia logs them without a patch. Converted they imply roughly [10 s, 72 s] against the [0.25, 57.18] their audio tracking gave. Neither withdrawn. Two of their own predictions were refuted by the data -- loop_start is 11.6% in, not ~0, and a linear bits-to-seconds conversion gives 62.34 and 63.29 s for two stems that must be sample-synchronous. The port KEEPS loop_end_s: 61.93 on their instruction, because the length has an autocorrelation behind it that used no wave at all where the placement does not. Adds one check neither instrument ran: over 126.5 s the wrap shows a max adjacent-sample step of 212 and 208 against a 99.9th percentile of 3737, so the join is not a click. Explicitly NOT support for 61.93 over [10,72] -- a cut near a zero crossing is smooth wherever it falls. Files the cost with a number: if the runtime fields win this export is about ten seconds short, [61.93, 72] being content the game plays and we omit.

port: the menu bed loops at 61.93 s -- my 3.4 s seam was ours, not the game's
Measured on 240 s parked on the real menu: no seam at all (zero runs >=0.3 s below median-18 dB in 232 s), and the loop is at 61.93 s, not the summed wave's 87.744 s length. Two instruments agree -- top correlation lag 61.909 s with r=-0.009 at 87.750, and slice location showing playback wrap at 61.93 three times. The final ~25.8 s, the fade-out and trailing silence, is never played. This port had authored loop: restart, measured the resulting 3.4 s of near-silence off its own Master bus, and reported it as the price of the missing loop point -- in BLOCKED and in a message to the Decoder. The measurement was correct and the attribution was wrong. Second time this fortnight I have measured something real and assigned it to the wrong side. Godot loops whole files, so the loop region has to BE the file: BgmSpec gains loop_end_s and the bed is trimmed to 61.930 s. Verified over 131 s on the port's own bus -- 5 near-silent windows, no run >=0.2 s, against 36 windows and 3.4 s. Also records their withdrawal of '8 of 10 three-chunk regions': that audit file was truncated mid-list with no summary line, so the multichannel-specificity claim is unsupported and my 25 stands.
