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.

Authored decisions
Everything here is a decision we made, not something the disc said. It is
hand-written, committed, and survives a re-export — unlike export/, which is
regenerated wholesale and must never be hand-edited.
Every entry carries a why. When the RE agent decodes the real answer, delete
the entry and let the exporter emit it; that deletion is the measure of
progress.
See docs/FORMAT.md for the schemas and docs/BLOCKED.md for which HANDOFF
question each placeholder is standing in for.
