re(ui): finish the top-level rotation census; record the JP-capture blocker
Two threads had converged on needing one capture this container cannot take, so this iteration records that and finishes something reachable. BLOCKED, written into MISSION.md rather than worked around: Q1's keyframe time association and the rest() rule for plateau-less elements both now hinge on a running capture of GP_TITLE build 7, the Japanese title. The console language is not settable here -- user_language appears only as DECLARE_int32 at four call sites with no DEFINE anywhere in the tree, and it is absent from the registered cvars in xenia-canary.config.toml. There is no flag to pass, and guessing one is specifically unsafe: run-canary's own header records that xenia calls ShowSimpleMessageBox from ParseLaunchArguments before logging starts, so a bad flag blocks forever with an empty log. Rebuilding canary to add the cvar would be improvising around the blocker; it needs a human decision. Neither question blocks the five menu screens. FINISHED: the disc-wide top-level rotation count, left running four iterations ago as a shell loop over `screen info --geometry` that never completed (it decodes every texture per build). Walking the placement region directly takes seconds. top-level elements with a keyframe group 15 493 carrying a non-zero rotation 2 152 (13.89 %) Both controls pass: GP_TITLE build 4 reports 0 (its rotations are the nested ptloop records) and GP_DIALOG build 0 reports the expected two. The control earned its place -- the first version indexed the pak with a `screen list` BUILD number and got 0 for a screen that has two, because GP_DIALOG build 0 is entry 2. GP_TITLE maps 1:1, which is how the assumption survived. METHOD line added. Two free corroborations of the rotation decode. The rotated population is dominated by tactical-map ship icons -- pbb_destroyer 444, pbr_destroyer 402, pbr_fighter 276 -- i.e. markers rotated to heading, the single largest use of the field on the disc. And GP_TITLE entry 7's Japanese wordmark pieces settle from ALTERNATING tilts: ptlogo3a r = 0, -14, -4, -1, 0, ... ptlogo3b r = 0, +14, +4, +1, 0, ... ptlogo3c r = 0, -14, -4, -1, 0, ... Same magnitudes, opposite signs, all decaying to upright. A misread field does not produce that.

## 🔴 Blocked in this container — a Japanese-locale capture
|
||||
|
||||
Recorded rather than worked around, per "do not improvise around a blocker".
|
||||
|
||||
Two questions have converged on needing **one capture we cannot take**: a running
|
||||
capture of `GP_TITLE` **build 7**, the Japanese title screen.
|
||||
|
||||
* Q1's keyframe-time association. The shifted reading is favoured 26× by a
|
||||
calibration-free measurement, and the only render it changes on the whole disc
|
||||
is build 7 ([`ui-keyframe-time-unit.md`](../re/ui-keyframe-time-unit.md)).
|
||||
* What `rest()` should return for a plateau-less element. The one element that
|
||||
discriminates, `ptlogo_eff3.t32`, is also in build 7
|
||||
([`structures/ui-resting-pose.md`](../re/structures/ui-resting-pose.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
**Why the container cannot do it:** the console language is not settable. In this
|
||||
canary tree `user_language` appears only as `DECLARE_int32` — four call sites,
|
||||
no `DEFINE` — and it is absent from the registered cvars in
|
||||
`xenia-canary.config.toml`. There is no flag to pass, and passing an unknown one
|
||||
is specifically dangerous here: `run-canary`'s own header records that xenia
|
||||
calls `ShowSimpleMessageBox` from `ParseLaunchArguments` *before* logging starts,
|
||||
so a bad flag blocks forever on an SDL dialog with an empty log.
|
||||
|
||||
Rebuilding canary to add the cvar would be improvising around this, so it has not
|
||||
been done. **It needs a human decision**: either add the cvar and rebuild, or
|
||||
accept that both questions stay 🟡 and the port authors those values by hand.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ Neither question blocks the five menu screens. Q1's *interpolation law* is
|
||||
settled and only multi-keyframe absolute timing is open; `rest()` differs from
|
||||
its alternative on **one** element across all five screens, and the current
|
||||
answer there is the defensible one.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known unknowns — say so, do not fill them in
|
||||
|
||||
Some of these may turn out to be undecodable. That is a valid, useful answer, and
