# Attempt to reach a .tbm-bearing submenu -- NOT REACHED, and why. # # 2026-08-30. The open question is ui-forced-backdrop.md's 24 .tbm deciders: # our compose draws NOTHING for a .tbm, so their verdicts are 'correct or # inert' and indistinguishable. Every main-menu destination except EXTRAS # lands on an archive holding one, so no focus detector is needed -- press A # on whatever is focused and identify the screen from the capture. # # RUN 1 -- the title->menu transition was TIMED (tap, wait 8 s, assume). # 8 s later the screen was still the TITLE: glyph 714, the plate pulse's # trough. So the second tap performed the transition and the 'submenu' # capture is the main menu. Void for the question asked. # # RUN 2 -- menu DETECTED instead of timed (glyph in 250..420 for 6 # consecutive samples; the main menu is 327 and the plate is 714..1520). # [351.3s] tapped A # [357.2s] MENU detected (glyph 327) -- pressing A into a submenu # [358.0s] tapped A # [369.8s] submenu captured (glyph 327, mean 44.4) # -> still the main menu. 2.4 % of pixels differ from the menu capture. # # 🔴 WHY: the second tap was NEVER DELIVERED. # [file-pad] vk=5800 lines: 2 -- that is ONE press (down + up) # [RE-INPUT] -> user=0 vk=5800: one down, one up # swallowed by IsUIActive: 0 (so NOT the sign-in dialog path) # # The tap at 358.0 s came 0.8 s after the menu appeared, while the guest was # still loading it. A 0.12 s press is missed entirely if the guest does not # poll during that window -- the pad driver reports what it emitted, and the # guest simply never asked. # # WHAT WORKS AND IS NOW VALIDATED: # * the plate-pulse title detector (three runs) # * the MENU detector: glyph 327, matching live-main-menu.png exactly # * delivery is checkable in-log: [RE-INPUT] ... -> user=0 vk=5800
