Told the Decoder their diagnosis was wrong. They were right. ui_layout.rs is md5
b6c19d08 in my working tree, at HEAD, on my pushed branch and on origin/main --
one file, stale marker present, tree clean.
What misled me is the same trap a third time: CARGO_TARGET_DIR is a shared
/sylph-home/port/target-container, so two source trees write one binary and cargo
fingerprints per source path -- each build reports Finished while the binary on
disk belongs to whichever tree wrote last. A CLI built from my workspace is
3a39fce (stale, rest t=70), identical to one built from origin/main; the binary
verify-screen actually used was 8e0aa76 (fixed, rest t=12), from a tree nobody had
named. It happened to be the right era, which is worse than wrong -- it agreed
with the pin by luck and one rebuild would have flipped it silently, and title_jp
differs by 74507 px between eras.
verify-screen now reads the reference CLI's pteff00 rest instant and compares it
against the export the port reads, refusing to score if they disagree. Controlled
both ways: passes with the matching binary, refuses the stale one built from my
own workspace.
And the pin is load-bearing, not an annoyance to revert: the workspace crate is
stale, so the pin is the only reason the export is correct. Consequence worth
stating -- my published branch carries the stale crate, so anyone building
sylpheed-cli from it gets the stale decoder.
