Onset: 0.500 of (title first visible element -> plate onset), measured by the
Decoder as 0.489 and 0.507 across two independent captures, 3.7% apart. A RATIO,
which is the point -- it needs no clock, and every unit-valued figure from those
captures has been withdrawn: the rate because frames are presents (1168 vs 600
for the same animation), the '+40 units' because its conversion put
title-start->plate at 75 units where the declared data puts the plate at 238, a
3.2x conflict that is still open and is F4's.
Resolved against THIS export: 0.500 x (214 - 0) = 107.0 units.
tools/port/check-leaf-onset recomputes it and fails if a re-timing moves the
anchors; it has a selftest in both directions and is in check-all.
🔴 AND THE ADOPTION WAS A NO-OP UNTIL THIS COMMIT. leaf_clock() read
'if start < 0.0 OR rate <= 0.0: return screen_units', so when the withdrawn rate
went back to null the adopted OFFSET stopped applying too -- silently, while
authored/rendering.json still stated it. The two fields are independent now.
It was caught only because the offset was re-verified by PROBING THE RENDERER
instead of re-reading the file I had just edited. Both my earlier verifications
of this feature passed while it did nothing: one compared frames that were all
being forced to the same pose, the other ran when both fields happened to be set.
Verified, pre-registered before running, via --probe-leaf:
title u=236 -> leaf_t 129.0, x -123 (predicted 129, -123)
title u=400 -> leaf_t 293.0, x 533 (predicted 293, 533)
Effect: at the plate's arrival the sweep sits at x=-123, just entering the frame,
where before it was at x=305, well across it.
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.
