sylpheed-port ran my two-half decomposition on their side and found the thing that
passes every check by being absent -- an authored value with no `why` at all.
Their first pass flagged 35 of 131; ancestor-aware, the real number was 0. The
analogue here is a page citing NO reference data, which my previous gate audit
would score "0 missing" and pass.
42 pages carry a measured/decoded/CONFIRMED status; 3 cite no data/ or captures/
path. INSPECTED BEFORE PUBLISHING, per their rule, and all three are false
positives, each verified rather than waved through:
slb-bank-header-not-a-wave.md cites tests/slb_leading_segment_disc.rs, and that
file exists in crates/sylpheed-formats/tests/ -- its evidence is a disc-wide
check over 9 519 sound.pak entries plus regression tests.
ui-screen-runtime.md carries 26 rows of inline evidence, live guest-memory reads
matched field by field against the file.
five-screens-acceptance.md is a consolidation page; its evidence is the six
pages it links and the numbers it tabulates.
3 -> 0.
The real finding is about the EARLIER audit. This corpus carries evidence in at
least three forms -- committed data files, inline tables, committed disc tests --
and both checks look for exactly one. "48 citations, 0 missing" is a statement
about the data-file form, not about whether the gates are evidenced. The gates are
evidenced; the audit was narrower than its wording suggested.
METHOD gains their formulation with all four instances -- a first count from a new
detector is a measurement of the detector, and all four were caught by inspecting
the flagged items before publishing the number -- and the corollary that an audit
is narrower than its wording: name the form you checked, not the property you hope
it stands for.
