sylph-decoder 1538c3e333 re: the leaf is NOT frame-locked -- and a residual gate disqualifies half my fits
The frame-rate test sylpheed-port and I agreed was the only clean route left.
Same strips, same screen, --framerate_limit=15 against the default. The limit
demonstrably took effect: the title settled at 862 s against 241 s.

First, a gate this work should have had from the start. A slope is only a rate if
its residual is random, so count sign changes in the residual:

  default   1299x1303  -4.348  rms 3.33  43/111  OK
             883x1134  +4.284  rms 3.08  21/76   SYSTEMATIC
             890x1134  +4.284  rms 3.19  15/54   SYSTEMATIC
  limit 15  1299x1303  -2.032  rms 1.51  44/83   OK
             883x1134  +2.003  rms 1.12  36/61   OK
             890x1134  +1.999  rms 0.74  12/37   SYSTEMATIC

So one of the two strips I quoted as "agreeing to three significant figures"
FAILS the linearity gate at default fps: that agreement was between a rate and a
slope through a curve. The port had already caveated the claim for a different
reason; this weakens it further from my own side.

The result, on the one group passing the gate at both settings: -4.348 px/frame
at default against -2.032 at limit 15, a ratio of 2.14.

THE LEAF IS NOT FRAME-LOCKED. A fixed number of units per submitted frame
predicts px/frame unchanged; it changed by 2.14x. Dead.

A simple wall-clock model is dead too, in the other direction: fewer frames per
second means more wall time per frame, so a time-driven leaf should move MORE
px/frame at a lower limit. It moved LESS. Neither model fits and I have no third.

Reach: the effective frame rate was NOT measured. The timing instrument I added
polls for the capture log, which is created when the capture is ARMED rather than
when it finishes, so it reported 0.728 s and is void. The 3.6x boot slowdown says
the limit took effect, not that fps went 28 -> 15. The RATIO is measured; the
absolute rate still is not.

# Does the game DRAW the sweep leaves (pteff03 / pteff03a) on a SETTLED title?
#
# ui-resting-pose.md records a tension: two renders one plateau-phase apart differ
# by RMSE 11.9 INSIDE the adjudication box, while two captures of that screen from
# different sessions differ by 0.32 there, and an --at sweep against a capture is
# flat to 1.2. A metric cannot be insensitive to an 11.9 change unless what
# changed is largely absent from what it is compared against.
#
# The leaves are a 400 px-wide strip at scale (100, 600) / (100, 800) -- 1080 and
# 1440 px tall, taller than the screen. If the game draws them and they free-run,
# the draw stream shows a tall strip whose x translates frame to frame. That is
# unmistakable, and the plate's own pulsing is the in-capture control that the
# instrument is seeing real variation rather than one frozen frame.
