Their observation: it has only worked when the person who named the bound was not the person who had to close it -- you named mine, I named yours, neither of us has closed one of our own. Taking that directly. First the relay, and it is the second from one delivery. flow.json carried 'Decoder, three routes'. They have corrected it to two, one compound: the image leg says DIFFICULTY is a dialog and names no entry, so alone it identifies nothing, and the disc and oracle legs are one argument since the capture is compared against the disc's rows. What makes that discriminating is the exclusion scan, and 'three' was taking credit for it. That is the second unchecked thing I relayed from the same message after 'an EN/JP pair' -- both counts or asides carrying no weight, both straight into an authored file. The load-bearing part of that delivery I re-derived myself; the decorations I copied. Then one of my own, unprompted. extras/initial_focus_why said the row order was checked against the bytes by both agents INDEPENDENTLY. Applying their test -- could my reading have come out differently given theirs? -- that holds only if the implementations differ. Mine is sylpheed_formats::ui_layout::parse_build via this port's export. Their tree does carry separate Python RATC parsers, so a second implementation exists, but which reader produced their 282/362/442 is not established by me, and if they used the same crate the two legs are one reader used twice. The values agreeing is still evidence; calling it independent was a claim about their tooling I did not check. Recorded at the strength I can support. Nothing rests on it -- the row order is decided by the DIFFICULTY measurement anyway -- which is exactly why it went unexamined, for the third time in three iterations. Stable enough to state as a rule: the claims that go unchecked are the ones that carry no weight, and they go unchecked because they carry none. Their test is better than the tell that found these. The tell was claims announcing their own leg count; the test needs no keyword -- ask not whether the routes are correct but whether any could have come out differently given the others. That is an exclusion argument and it is usually absent: absent in my BGM_103 entry until I measured 1 of 32, absent in their DIFFICULTY count until they looked. Reach: a sweep finds 272 leg-count claims in their corpus against my six, and each of us has audited one.

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.

question each placeholder is standing in for.
