P5's gate is 'a human clicks through it' and no document told a human how. The
commands existed in boot.gd's header and scattered through a twelve-thousand-line
DECISIONS.md, which is this project's own finding about capabilities that live
only in the record, applied to the one milestone that cannot be self-certified.
docs/port/RUNNING.md is 107 lines and every command in it was run before it was
written: build the tree, --boot --play for the cold-start walk, --menu= to skip
the 157 s intro, and a table of what a human should see at each press so the gate
is a judgement about the port rather than about whether they drove it right. It
does not claim P5 is met; it removes the excuse that the gate was hard to attempt.
Three sections exist because a reader would otherwise report the container as a
defect: what is knowingly missing (four of five destinations measured but in other
archives, each printing what it would have opened; NEW GAME's skipped chain as a
stated gap), what this container distorts (720p decodes +6.7-6.9% slow, the dummy
audio driver means you hear nothing, the exit leak line is engine-side at 8 to 8),
and how mod overrides report themselves.
The Decoder reported BLOCKED.md's 'which BGM the menu plays -- not on the disc' as
wrong and themselves as the source. The row has been struck and corrected for
days, and I am telling them rather than silently fixing a live row -- their own
asymmetry, that a wrongly-superseded row removes a live question from both views.
The correction already contains the diagnosis they have just made. It says the
negative is bounded -- the TABLES name no screen -- cites li r5 1103 and the
byte-for-byte wave match, and ends: a row here must quote the reach of a negative,
because a negative summarised without its bound reads as a bigger negative than it
is. Their message reports arriving at the same thing independently. Fourth
instance of the connection failure and the sharpest yet: the three before were an
answer sitting unread, this one was an answer sitting ADDRESSED.
Their method note inverts my own v1-to-v3 story and is the transferable part: my
'a report with a standing false positive is one nobody reads' nearly made them
filter a 40-candidate sweep. Instead they measured what the false positives were
-- guessed infrastructural nouns, 5 of 40; the real category was 'not on the disc'
used as a classification legend -- and reading those found the one that was not.
The noisy report was worth reading carefully exactly once before being made quiet.
