Sylpheed port agent e88fc78c3a port: the ordered pair determines the gap; nothing declared predicts it
Their run gives five replicates with no variation -- title->menu 3,3,3 and
EXTRAS->menu 2,2 -- while every differing value comes from a different ordered
pair, and the same origin gives different values to different destinations. The
origin constrains; the ordered pair determines.

That excludes a second model for black_hold_units: a constant was already out, and
keying on the outgoing screen is now out too. Only an ordered-pair key survives,
needing a measured value per pair.

Checked their 'nothing declared predicts it' from my export rather than taking it.
Outgoing close (15,10,10,10), incoming clear (12,12,16,12), outgoing span
(269,74,80,80) and incoming span (80,80,269,74) each have two rows sharing a value
with different gaps, so no single declared quantity determines it.

Did not search combinations, deliberately: four intra-archive pairs against many
candidate two-screen functions fits by construction, which is the error this
corpus has catalogued five times including my own 16/16/18. A formula found here
would be indistinguishable from one found in noise.

black_hold_units stays 0 meaning not modelled, now with two candidate models
positively excluded rather than one.

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.
