1. --time= was silently ignored on any screen with a settle window >= 30 units: pose_at overwrote the requested instant with settle_instant. ScreenView.frozen now marks an explicit instant and skips both clamps. 2. press_start's settle window was [0,214] -- the dead stretch BEFORE the plate exists -- so its settle instant was t=107, where the element is alpha 0. The exporter now rejects intervals in which nothing is visible. title keeps [160,236], the interval the Decoder's draw stream confirmed. 3. My authored looping_focus_records entry for press_start/ptbtn00 drew a dim focus record INSTEAD of the plate's own sprite: max 0 vs max 252.5. Deleted -- an authored guess that overrides a decode with a worse answer is removed. 4. verify-capture passed --time=5.9617 for the title and it was never applied. Every title figure it has printed, including the 0.26% quoted to the Decoder, was measured at the settle instant under a note claiming t=357.7. Both rows now pose by omission and the note matches. title is 0.21% honestly; splashes unchanged at 0.01%. The boot's end artifact now contains the plate (region mean 95.7 vs 33.6). Corrects last iteration's BLOCKED row, which had the entry's effect backwards.

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.
