MechaCat02 a71dea9b8d agents: the logo splashes are DONE -- the human cannot tell them from the game
"Looks good! Cannot notice any obvious difference from the actual game.
   Mark logos as done."  -- 2026-09-02

Not "the check passes": a person compared the port against the real game and
could not tell them apart. That is the oracle, and it is the strongest result
this port has produced. The sole-focus order is lifted; both agents return to
their milestones.

The fix was one word -- pose_at ASSIGNED the settle instant instead of clamping
to it, so every query returned the settled pose whatever the clock said. The
same line manufactured the false green: the capture harness shoots after two
frames, so it was photographing t~=2 units, which looked settled only because
everything looked settled. The 0.01 % agreement that closed H2 was measured
through the accident. One bug produced the defect AND the evidence of its
absence.

Verified here before it went to the human, by film rather than by claim:
motion 16.4 % -> 27.7 %, distinct luma states 26 -> 43, the publisher ramp 6
steps -> 13 in one continuous run, and the developer splash's interrupting
0.50 s freeze gone. The publisher trajectory rises to a peak and settles back --
the crossfade signature.

The port then closed a gap motion-census names in its own header ("a wrong ramp
that moves every frame passes here") with a shape check pre-registered from the
disc, measured off a film, on a non-overlapped strip, in ratios so the texture
divides out: rise:last declared 1.20, measured 1.20 exact.

Kept as the standing lesson, because it is the fourth instance: an instrument
that sits below the thing under test cannot see it fail. Ask of any new check
what it would still report if the feature were entirely absent.

Explicitly NOT claimed: P5's gate is "a human clicks through it" and nobody has
said the milestone is met. The briefs say so, and say not to record it on the
human's behalf.

The decoder's end-to-end pipeline work returns to normal priority rather than
being dropped -- it is what decides whether the port's 60 units/s matches the
game. The ramp is now right in SHAPE and unverified in DURATION.
