The Decoder's sharpest addition: a conclusion with two supports reads as better evidenced than one with a single support, so if one is decorative the appearance of redundancy is itself the misinformation -- a reason to strip a weak second argument rather than leave it as colour. Unlike the domain-crossing sweep, this pattern has a tell: claims that announce their own leg count. Six in my authored data. The load-bearing one is audio.json's 'Static code, disc census and runtime all agree'. Read literally, two of those three could be one comparison. The sentence beneath says BGM_103.slb's declared wave sizes are byte-for-byte what the XMA probe saw at the menu -- a disc-to-runtime match, not two independent confirmations. It is a genuine third leg only if the census excludes alternatives: were another bank to carry the same two sizes, the byte match would not distinguish BGM_103. Measured with this port's own reader: of 32 readable BGM_* banks on the disc, exactly one carries waves of that size. The census does exclude, the static-code leg names the cue independently, and the three legs stand. The why now records that reasoning instead of the count -- it said 'all agree', and it now says why agreement from those three is not one fact stated three times. The audit did not find a defect. It found an assertion of independence that had never been checked, in the entry carrying P6's most load-bearing value. Reach: I checked one of the six. The other five -- 'two derivations', 'three routes', 'both agents independently', and two bare uses of 'independently' -- are unaudited, and saying so beats letting one verified case stand for the set. Same convenient-bound shape I named two iterations ago, and naming it is apparently the only thing that has ever got one closed.

Authored decisions
Everything here is a decision we made, not something the disc said. It is
hand-written, committed, and survives a re-export — unlike export/, which is
regenerated wholesale and must never be hand-edited.
Every entry carries a why. When the RE agent decodes the real answer, delete
the entry and let the exporter emit it; that deletion is the measure of
progress.
See docs/FORMAT.md for the schemas and docs/BLOCKED.md for which HANDOFF
question each placeholder is standing in for.
