re: THE DECREMENT IS MEASURED -- REMAINING OB is fully solved

SYLPH_WEAKEST=1 (00052b0) worked on its first live run: concentrating fire on the
already-damaged attacker produced the kill that four previous runs could not.

All gates enforced first -- FLIGHT confirmed, stage asserted, mission clock shown
advancing -- then:

  live e010 floor: 16 for samples 0-11, then 15 for samples 12-39 (one death)
  counter: 004 -> 008 at 02:06.33 (t=120 arrival, +4)
           008 -> 007 at 03:10.28  <-- DECREMENT, bracket (171.2s, 190.3s]
           007 -> 011 at 03:48.40 (t=210 arrival, +4 FROM 7, not from 8)
           011 held to 06:50.30 -- ceiling 11, where every prior run reached 12

Conclusive because: it fell by exactly 1 and not by 4, so the counter tracks CRAFT
not squadrons; exactly one attacker died and exactly one decrement occurred, in the
same window; and the CEILING moved with it -- a counter that merely read arrivals
would still have shown 012.  Control held: turrets fell 109 -> 92, seventeen
deaths, none of which moved it.

Settled reading: REMAINING OB is the number of objective-marked craft still alive,
the marked craft being exactly the members of the phase's A-route squadrons.  It
rises by a squadron's membership on that squadron's route arrival time and falls by
one per marked craft destroyed.  Every number was predicted from Route_S02.tbl and
UnitGroup_S02.tbl before it was measured.
