sylph-decoder 3d9309dace re: sweep for negatives stated as world-properties -- the tool failed its control twice first
The mission's third classification is 'undecodable, with reach', and a negative
written about the subject when it is about the method is the failure that put 'an
individual SE's audio is not extractable yet' at the head of a page whose own later
section located the waves.

The tool failed its control -- the one known instance -- twice. First the pattern
required a sentence-ending period, and headings do not end in periods, so it matched
nothing in any heading and a clean report would have been vacuous. Then the scoring
hid it, because 'yet' was in my list of scope words. It is not one: 'yet' and 'so
far' are temporal hedges naming no instrument, no search and no place looked, which
is exactly what made that heading read as bounded.

With the control passing, the two amplifier files are clean: every INDEX and HANDOFF
hit read, all legitimate. 130 unscoped candidates remain unread corpus-wide, and the
regex has a high false-positive rate -- recorded as reach, not as a clean bill.

# Are this corpus's negatives about the WORLD or about an INSTRUMENT?
# 2026-08-31. The sweep I said I owed after fixing one instance by hand.
#
# The mission's third classification is "undecodable, WITH REACH". A negative
# written as a property of the SUBJECT when what was established is a property of
# the METHOD is the failure that put "an individual SE's audio is not extractable
# yet" at the head of a page whose own later section had located the waves, and
# left INDEX quoting it for days. sylpheed-port swept their tree and reported
# clean; this is mine.

# 🔴 THE TOOL FAILED ITS OWN CONTROL TWICE, and the control is the only reason
# this sweep means anything. The control is the ONE KNOWN true positive -- the
# heading I fixed by hand this week.
#
# FAILURE 1: the pattern required a sentence-ending period. HEADINGS DO NOT END
# IN PERIODS, and the known instance was a heading. It matched nothing in any
# heading in the corpus, so a "clean" report would have been vacuous.
#
# FAILURE 2: with that fixed, the scoring HID it. "yet" was in my list of words
# that scope a negative to a method. ⚠️ IT IS NOT ONE. "yet" and "so far" are
# temporal HEDGES that name no instrument, no search and no place looked -- and
# that is precisely what let "not extractable yet" read as bounded while
# claiming a property of the audio. A scope names a METHOD or a PLACE
# ("from the file", "by sorting", "from the hash alone").
#
# ✅ Control passes now: the known heading is matched and shown.
#
################################################################################
# ✅ RESULT, where it matters most: the two AMPLIFIER files are CLEAN.
# Every hit in INDEX.md and HANDOFF.md was read. All are legitimate:
# * logical facts -- "layers that never touch the same pixel cannot be ordered
# wrongly", "95 s apart is impossible";
# * the legend's own definition of *measured* ("not on the disc in any form we
# found" -- itself scoped);
# * claims quoted in order to mark them retracted;
# * INDEX 158, which is my own strikethrough of the refuted SE-audio claim.
#
# ⚠️ REACH, and it is large: 147 candidate sentences corpus-wide, 130 of which
# name no scope in the same sentence. I read the INDEX and HANDOFF subset only.
# The other files are NOT swept, and the regex has a high false-positive rate --
# "for a directory that no longer exists" is a match. This is a prompt to read,
# not a defect count, and reading 130 by hand is the cost nobody has paid yet.
