sylph-decoder 4b8afbe85e re: all four measured submenus reset -- the main menu is the only screen that remembers ...

LOAD GAME, TUTORIAL and OPTIONS all reset on re-entry, joining EXTRAS. With the
main menu persisting, the rule is four of four submenus resetting and one
exception -- the opposite of what a single screen had suggested.

Fourth attempt, and every control in it is a previous failure: the decision uses
the cursor's own region so no per-screen geometry is assumed (sweep 1 read the main
menu's gutter on screens whose cursors are elsewhere); the back-on-the-menu test is
the narrow ring row (sweep 2 died when a crash dialog defeated whole-frame
comparison); absolute row checks after every press (a constant offset passes a
differential control); and a two-sided self-test that constructs both verdicts,
which had already caught a rule I broke myself.

Screens confirmed by eye and committed as evidence, because an earlier run was
fooled about which screen it was on. LOAD GAME's 21.6 is explained by its list
scrolling rather than moving a ring.

Still not separated: resets-to-named-item vs resets-to-top-item. None of these
three has an opening item that is not its first.
