sylph-decoder 1dfcdd81ee tools: ring_row gets a self-test, which found that a TITLE frame reads as NEW GAME ...

sylpheed-port closed their last harness gap on a control that never asked whether
the measurement was LIVE -- an empty band list made identity and the real pair both
pass. Applying that to ring_row.py, which underpins every focus finding I have made
and had no self-test at all.

It found a real defect immediately: main_menu_item(ring_row(f)) is not None was
being used as a main-menu test, and on a TITLE frame the gutter carries a bright
cluster at y=243, inside tolerance of row 0, so the title reads as NEW GAME. Glyph
714 against the menu's 327 separates them cleanly; the ring row alone does not.

It never misfired in the sweeps, because B from a submenu goes to the menu rather
than the title -- the test was simply weaker than it was being trusted to be. Added
is_main_menu(), which requires the row AND the glyph signature, and the sweep's two
menu tests now use it.

The self-test asserts the defect it guards, and includes a liveness case: a blanked
frame must return None rather than a number.
