Sylpheed port agent 94506ec247 port: verify-menu-audio could not FAIL -- the verdict never reached an exit code
It computed ok, printed a red line when a cue was silent, and the python had no
exit path at all, so it returned 0 every time while check-all registered it
must-pass. A cue could stop sounding and the suite would print the failure and
stay green.

This project's recurring defect one level up: not an instrument sitting below
the thing under test, but one that SEES the failure and does not report it.

The diagonal now exits. The no-op-silence and cue-order lines stay REPORTED --
both carry documented cross-run instability (whole-buffer recording shifts; a
0.15 margin this file's own comments show reaching 0.109 on a sounding cue), and
making either binding would produce red on correct audio.

--control feeds it a walk in which move never sounded, built from the tool's own
suppression machinery, and requires it to fail.

#
# 🔴 FOR WEEKS THIS COULD NOT FAIL. It computed the verdict, printed a red line
# when a cue was silent -- and the python had NO EXIT PATH, so it returned 0
# every time while `check-all` registered it `must-pass`. A cue could stop
# sounding and the suite would print the failure and stay green.
#
# That is this project's recurring defect one level up: not an instrument that
# sits below the thing under test, but an instrument that SEES the failure and
# does not report it. Ask of any check: what would this still report if the
# feature were absent -- AND what would it EXIT?
#
# This is the P6 gate check. P6's gate is "sound on the P5 gate", and until this
# existed the only evidence for it was that `audio.play("move")` appears in
# boot.gd -- which is evidence that a call is written, not that a sound reaches
# the Master bus. Those differ: the black hold was implemented, called, and
# emitted nothing for five milestones.
#
# It needs NO SOUND CARD. Godot records the Master bus to a WAV under the Dummy
# driver (docs/port/AUDIO-VERIFICATION.md section 2).
#
# WHAT IT CONCLUDES, and what it must not be read as:
#
# * ✅ that a cue REACHES THE BUS when a press does something;
# * ✅ that a press bound to NOTHING is silent, byte for byte;
# * ✅ that two presses of the same action play the SAME cue;
# * 🔴 NOT that the cue is the one the GAME plays. That binding is HANDOFF Q8,
# measured by the Decoder, and nothing here re-measures it. This tool cannot
# tell a correct cue from a confidently wrong one.
#
# ⚠️ Cue LENGTH is deliberately not asserted. The audible part of a cue is much
# shorter than its wave -- the music bed masks the tail -- so "elevated for
# 0.13 s" is a fact about the bed, not about the cue, and an assertion built on
# it would fail whenever the bed changes.

# 🔴 AND A PER-CUE KNOWN NEGATIVE, because the bed-only control could not settle
# what it was being asked. `move` reported NOT FOUND on three consecutive runs at
# margins 0.109/0.120/0.131 against a 0.15 line that a documented earlier run had
# cleared at 0.185. Two readings fit that -- the cue stopped playing, or the
# threshold sits above the quietest cue's true signal -- and A MARGIN CANNOT
# SEPARATE THEM, because both produce a small number.
#
# So each cue now gets its own negative: the SAME walk, with only that cue's .ogg
# replaced by silence through the mod tree. Silencing a cue that is playing must
# collapse its correlation and leave the other two alone, which is a 3x3 matrix
# with six off-diagonal controls rather than one number to compare against a
# threshold.

# 1. A press bound to nothing must be SILENT, and silent still means IDENTICAL --
# but aligned to a WHOLE AUDIO BUFFER, because the recording is not
# sample-deterministic across runs and never was.
#
# 🔴 This check compared the two byte streams directly and passed for weeks.
# It then began failing, and the cause is not the port: three IDENTICAL
# invocations produce two distinct outcomes, 1.207438 s and 1.300317 s,
# differing by 0.092879 s = **exactly 4096 samples**, one mixing buffer. The
# recording quantises to whole buffers and a one-buffer shift moves both the
# length and the alignment of everything inside it.
#
# So the old premise -- cross-run bit-determinism -- was never guaranteed. It
# held while the run's timing sat away from a buffer boundary, and a larger
# export (three voice streams instead of one) moved it onto one. A test that
# passes by luck reports the luck running out as a regression in the code.
#
# The fix keeps the strength that mattered: still EXACT equality, still no
# threshold to tune. It only allows the comparison to slide by whole buffers,
# which is the one degree of freedom the recorder actually has.
