Sylpheed port agent 575e287526 port: the register check had no executable control, and an empty register passed forever
check-claims guards the refuted register, the thing both agents lean on when they
say a dead claim is not being re-asserted, and it had no control machinery at all.
Every 'planted a revival, it failed, removed it, it passed' in DECISIONS was done
by hand, once, and never again -- in a repository where two of my own tools carry
the line 'a control that does not execute is not a control'. I wrote that about
somebody else's tool.

The hole the Decoder found in their equivalent was here too. The scan loop runs
once per register row; with no rows it runs zero times, fail stays 0, and the
script printed 'every refuted claim appears only inside its correction' and exited
0. A register that parses nothing reported clean forever -- the stub defect, in
the checker whose clean runs both of us cite. It now exits 2 with 'the harness is
broken, not the corpus'.

--control executes four cases, each driving this script as a subprocess and
reading its real exit code: clean 0, unmarked revival 1, marked revival 0 with no
false positive, empty register 2. Asserting in check-all.

Two things taken from their build of the same thing rather than invented: the
self-test drives the real machinery and reads its actual exit code -- my first
--selftest reasoned about what the harness would do, which is the cheaper mistake
and the one I made -- and the three-way exit convention, which is what lets 'the
corpus is dirty' and 'the checker is broken' be different answers instead of both
being nonzero.

The plant lands in a real scanned directory, because a control that runs somewhere
the tool does not look proves nothing about the tool. Verified two-directionally:
pointing the plant at an unscanned path makes the control report itself broken.

Still without harness self-tests and filed rather than left looking finished:
audit-kinds and verify-transcode-fidelity.

Every asserting check passes.

# level up: the checks themselves were the thing nobody was running.
#
# ⚠️ It runs the tools that ASSERT. The exploratory ones -- `screen-strip`,
# `which-focus`, `strip-padding`, `verify-dwell`, `check-capture`,
# `verify-video-audio` -- produce artifacts for a person to look at and have no
# verdict to collect. Listing them here as passes would be inventing six.

# 🔴 THE OLD ALLOWANCE WAS FALSE, AND MY FIRST REPLACEMENT REASON WAS ALSO
# WRONG. Both are recorded because the second error is the more instructive.
#
# It said: "the pin is not on main, so this compares two decoder eras". I
# replaced that with "the eras render identically -- 0 pixels different on three
# screens". 🔴 **That measurement was void**: the two binaries I compared had the
# same md5. I built one in a worktree at the pinned tag and one from the
# workspace, and both commits carry the record-layout fix, so I compared a
# binary with itself and reported the zero as evidence.
#
# Rebuilt properly against `origin/main`, which is the genuinely stale era
# (`rest t=70 [12 70 80 -]` against the fixed `rest t=12 [0 12 70 80]`):
#
# title 0 px main_menu 0 px title_jp 74 507 px
#
# ✅ The eras DO change pixels, and `title_jp` is one of the seven bundles where
# they do -- reproducing the Decoder's figure exactly, under their flags and
# mine. My "--animated masks it" hypothesis was wrong too.
#
# ✅ BUT THE ERA STILL CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS SCRIPT'S ROWS, for a reason I had not
# established: BOTH SIDES OF THIS COMPARISON ARE THE FIXED ERA. The exporter is
# pinned to `formats-pin-2026-08-30` and this reference is built from the
# workspace, and a binary built from each has the SAME md5. There is no era
# mismatch here to explain anything. Right answer, wrong evidence, and the wrong
# evidence was a broken experiment.
#
# The real reasons are per-screen and already documented:
# title -- the ptloop SWEEP PHASE residual, max 6 / over3 790, unchanged
# across every renderer change since P1 (DECISIONS.md).
# title_jp -- the `--pose=rest` sparkle handling. Adjudicated against the
# oracle: the port's SHIPPED pose scores r +0.9994 against the
# game where the reference scores +0.8727, and `--pose=rest` is
# what this script compares.
# ⚠️ title_jp is ALSO an era-sensitive bundle, so if this reference is ever
# built from a different era than the exporter's pin, that row's cause changes
# and this note stops applying. Check the md5s before trusting it again.
#
# So the allowance is now a NAMED SET, not a count with an excuse. A DIFFERS on
# any other screen fails the run, which a count never could.
