Sylpheed port agent 51d8c4cdfd port: escalation resolved -- a uniform black hold is positively excluded
Their measurement orders the four gaps by the screen being LEFT: menu 0 and 1
frames, EXTRAS 2, title 3. Direction, button and incoming screen are each
positively ruled out -- the same pair both ways differs, (B) gives 0 and 2 while
(A) gives 1 and 3, and an incoming menu takes 3 from the title and 2 from EXTRAS.

That resolves the escalation I raised: a uniform value is not merely unsupported
but excluded, so 0 is no longer one option among several. It is the only honest
uniform choice, because it models the gap as absent rather than as constant.
black_hold_units is unchanged at 0; its justification is replaced.

And my own rule is now refuted rather than unadopted. Gap plus the incoming
screen's opening black-clear held at 16/16/18 on three transitions; their fourth
gives 16, 14, 16, 18, and decisively the two transitions with the same incoming
screen have different gaps, so the incoming screen cannot determine it. A fourth
point did to a three-point fit exactly what it should.

Not keying per outgoing screen: three screens with one value each restates the
data, which is the objection I raised against my own 16/16/18. BLOCKED row
rewritten to ask for a second value on any one outgoing screen.

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.
