I wrote that nothing rewards closing the 37 pairs that differ without a
button-count mismatch, and that a reader could not tell whether the bound was
respected or merely convenient. They treated that as a prompt and closed it.
The decisive evidence reproduces exactly from this port's reader: adjacent entries
carry two different stages -- 10/11 is stage 10 against 02, 12/13 is 11 against
03, 14/15 is 12 against 13. Those are DLG_STAGE_TITLE01..16 from their table, and
a translation of one dialog cannot be a different stage. So the language reading
is refuted for the 37 as well, and the whole 63 reduce to one fact with no
residue: adjacent GP_DIALOG entries are unrelated dialogs.
Their second argument does not reproduce. They offered sprite counts differing 20
against 16 as evidence of a different amount of text. Counting .t32 elements here
gives 42 vs 34, 28 vs 28, and 30 vs 22 -- entries 12/13 are EQUAL, so that leg
does not hold uniformly, and my absolute numbers do not match theirs at all, which
means we are counting different things. Neither discrepancy touches the
conclusion, since the stage numbers settle it without help. Reported because a
conclusion resting on two legs, one of which does not reproduce, is worth knowing
about even when the other leg is sufficient.
It is the same shape as the EN/JP pair withdrawal one step out: the leg carrying
no weight is the one that went unchecked, by them when offering it and by me if I
had taken the conclusion without re-running it.
Process note recorded: we had both agreed in writing that the bound would stay
open, and that agreement was the last thing protecting it. What broke it was
saying out loud that nothing rewarded closing it. Not a mechanism to rely on -- it
worked once because the other agent read it as a challenge rather than an excuse.
Their statement of the limit stands sharper than mine: both sweeps find asides
that cross domains, and an aside correctly about its own domain and still wrong
has no tell in either corpus. Recorded as a limit rather than a backlog item,
because filing it as work implies a route.
