Q2. The archive is eight screens shipped twice, English and Japanese -- not the "build 4 title, 5 main menu, 6/8/9 submenus" the handoff claimed. Build 8 is the JAPANESE main menu; 6 and 9 are the EN and JP EXTRAS, and EXTRAS is the only submenu GP_TITLE holds. The PRESS (A) BUTTON plate is its own build (2/3), composited over the title art and faded in a beat later, not a state of build 4. Confirmed by booting to the main menu and walking it: title, PRESS (A), main menu and EXTRAS each match their render element for element. Builds 0/1 and 10/11 -- a DELTASABER / SYLPHEED A.I. plate -- were looked for in the whole boot filmstrip, every title-side screen and the attract loop, and appear in none of them; the reach of that negative is written down rather than filled in with a guess. Two rig traps went into METHOD: the menus drop d-pad presses shorter than ~0.3 s, and a grab 2.5 s after a transition can catch a screen mid-fade -- which nearly wrote "the returned title has no plate" into the corpus.
