sylph-decoder c364cde476 re: sweep the disc for the ordinal foot-gun -- GP_TITLE was the mildest case
Last iteration I retracted three claims because `--build 10/11` on GP_TITLE are
entries 12/15, and named the untested remainder in my own report: how much else
in the corpus used a build ordinal as an entry index. This is that sweep.

`screen --build N` indexes a predicate-filtered list, so every rejected entry
shifts every later ordinal. Disc-wide: 21 of 24 build-bearing archives diverge,
18 of them at ordinal 0 -- `--build 0` is entry 108 in each GP_MAIN_GAME_*2D,
24/26 in GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL/GP_READY_ROOM. GP_TITLE is the ONLY archive whose
first ten ordinals are the identity, which is the sole reason 207 of the
corpus's 226 build citations are safe. Second foot-gun: `--all` swaps the
predicate and renumbers 18 archives, so `--build N` and `--build N --all` are
not the same object.

The instrument failed its control first. A version using parse_build as the
predicate reported GP_TITLE as 16 builds, ordinal == entry throughout -- it
would have certified the exact bug it was built to find. The shipped version
uses the same predicates screen_builds() uses and reproduces `screen list` on
GP_TITLE exactly.

Audited all 226 citations. One real defect: a five-row table in
ui-keyframe-time-unit.md headed "declared element (build 11)" spans builds 10
and 11 -- palogo_sqex is in 10. All five placements re-verified and correct, so
the linear-ramp measurement is untouched; only the label was wrong. Fixed with a
per-row bundle column. GP_DIALOG --build 0 and GP_DEBRIEFING_PILOTLOG --build 10
re-run and reproduce.

Refutation attempted: sylpheed-port's corrected mid-ramp test rests on
ptlogo_all_eff holding a=127 from t=112 to t=246. Their quote is exact and it is
a plateau. The refutation fails; their correction stands.

METHOD already carried the rule I broke, and ui-splash-addressing already said
the splashes need --all. The failure was not missing knowledge -- it was
addressing a bundle by index without grepping for the index first.
