# Does INDEX.md agree with the pages it links? -- 2026-08-30. FIRST AUDIT.
#
# INDEX.md is read every iteration by both agents and is the first thing a new
# reader meets. sylpheed-port's phrase is the right one: an index is an
# AMPLIFIER -- a status wrong there is wrong everywhere it is quoted from. It is
# also a file I have admitted three times I had never audited.
#
# FOUND BY ACCIDENT, which is why the audit happened: I was about to spend a boot
# measuring whether Ⓐ skips a movie, because INDEX said 🟡 and the port's
# BLOCKED.md showed 🟡 on the same row.
#
# 🔴 CORRECTION, same day: I then told sylpheed-port that THEIR row was stale too.
# IT IS NOT. Their row reads "🟡 (a) ANSWERED, (b) still open" and cites Q9 -- (b)
# is a different question, and the 🟡 is carrying it correctly. They pushed back
# rather than accepting the correction, which was right: MARKING A LIVE ROW STALE
# IS THE SAME ERROR AS LEAVING A STALE ONE LIVE, and it is the error this very
# audit is about. I read an emoji and inferred a status. Only ONE of the two rows
# I reported to them -- "no loop-point field has been identified" -- was stale. `movie-binding.md` has had it ✅ SETTLED since 2026-08-28 -- with a
# three-boot baseline and a delivery counter -- and HANDOFF carries it correctly.
# The staleness was in the index alone, and it nearly cost a run.
#
# TOOL: tools/re-capture/index_vs_pages.py. It prints a LISTING, NOT A VERDICT:
# 8 rows where the index is 🟡/❔ while the linked page has a "✅ settled/decoded"
# heading. A row can legitimately be unsure about one clause while its page is
# sure about another, so every hit is a prompt to read. I read all 8.
#
# ✅ 5 ARE LEGITIMATE -- index and page are talking about different clauses:
#   77  flight-speed-law        "🟡 for the unit scale"           -- still true
#   127 isl-builtins            "🟡 28 ..."                        -- still true
#   132 mcol-collision          "🟡 OPENED ..."                    -- a status word
#   159 boot-config-registry    "❔ [SYSTEM] is empty ..."          -- still true
#   162 ui-title-build-map      "🟡 which loading bundle takes which name" -- open
#
# 🔴 3 WERE STALE, all three contradicted by the page they link:
#
#   160 movie-binding      "🟡 skippability unsettled"
#       -> page: ✅ settled 2026-08-28. One Ⓐ skips: title at 57 s against a
#          193/196/193 s three-boot baseline, press proved singular by Canary's
#          own delivery counter going 3→4, skipped-to title fully functional.
#
#   158 menu-audio-cues    "❔ Static.slb has no wave boundaries, so SE audio is
#                           not extractable"
#       -> page line 189: "both waves are located in Static.slb. The port can
#          have the audio." The waves are at move 0x1ec0, confirm 0x5d6c0,
#          back 0x0ec0.
#       ⚠️ AND THE PAGE CONTRADICTS ITSELF: its line 81 still heads a section
#          "❔ And a new negative: an individual SE's audio is not extractable
#          yet", which its own line 189 refutes. Not fixed here -- flagged.
#
#   156 menu-navigation     "🟡 Ⓑ leaving the MAIN menu downgraded 2026-08-29 --
#                            uncited"
#       -> page line 27: ✅ measured 2026-08-30, delivery-confirmed, ≤0.4 s, no
#          loading screen, plate re-drawn ~7 s later, three captures cited.
#
# 🔴 AND ONE OF THE THREE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BY MY OWN REGISTER.
# REFUTED.md holds "`Static.slb` has no wave boundaries, so its layout is
# unknown". INDEX said "...so SE audio is not extractable". Same dead claim,
# different second clause -- and check_refuted.py matches EXACT wording, so it
# saw nothing. That weakness is documented in the tool's own docstring ("a clean
# run means no VERBATIM revival"); this is the first LIVE instance of it, and it
# survived in the index for days.
#
# ⚠️ REACH: this compares an index row's emoji against the presence of a ✅
# heading on the linked page. It cannot see a row that is confidently WRONG
# (no 🟡 to trip on), a row whose page has no status heading, or anything in
# HANDOFF.md or BLOCKED.md. 3 of 8 hits were real; the other 5 cost one read each.
