re(ui): the rest fallback fires on 2 elements, and "last keyframe" wins there
Scored candidate rest-pose rules by rendering and correlating instead of
arguing, and both results correct something I had published.
First, the exposure. The guessing fallback is reached only by an element
that is plateau-less AND multi-keyframe -- a single-keyframe element
short-circuits at `match len { 1 => first }`. Per screen:
title (4) 24 elements 2 plateau-less 0 reach the fallback
main menu (5) 16 5 0
EXTRAS (6) 18 5 0
publisher splash (10) 3 2 1
developer splash (11) 7 2 1
So on the three screens the port cares most about, rest() never guesses.
That is why three different rules render builds 4/5/6 to identical
correlations -- the code is unreachable there, which I nearly read as
"the choice does not matter".
Second, where it does fire, the last keyframe is markedly better:
publisher splash dwell +0.9600 last +0.9982 maxalpha +0.9600
developer splash dwell +0.9643 last +0.9758 maxalpha +0.9643
That refutes my own earlier refutation. I had killed the last-keyframe
rule by arguing it makes palogo_anima_eff invisible while its two
siblings stay lit, which looked like an artefact. The capture says
otherwise: making it invisible is what improves the match. The sibling
symmetry was my expectation, not evidence.
Caveat kept in front: both captures are single frames of a transient
animation, so this fixes which pose matches THOSE frames, not which is
canonically at rest. Default unchanged -- better on both screens where it
fires and identical on the other three, but it would move 2 305 elements
disc-wide on two measurements. Reachable via SYLPHEED_REST_RULE=last.
Also confirmed: all 195 zero-scale rest poses are inside the corrected
2 305 ambiguous population; none is a single-keyframe element.
METHOD: score a rule where it can differ, or you measure nothing; and an
argument from symmetry is a prediction, not a refutation.

## ✅ Where the fallback actually fires — and "last keyframe" wins there
|
||||
|
||||
**2026-08-29.** Two things fell out of scoring rules by rendering instead of
|
||||
arguing about them.
|
||||
|
||||
### The port's exposure is TWO elements, not fourteen
|
||||
|
||||
The guessing fallback is reached only by an element that is plateau-less **and**
|
||||
has more than one keyframe — a single-keyframe element short-circuits at
|
||||
`match len { 1 => first }`. Per screen:
|
||||
|
||||
| screen | elements | plateau-less | **reach the fallback** |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| title (4) | 24 | 2 | **0** |
|
||||
| main menu (5) | 16 | 5 | **0** |
|
||||
| `EXTRAS` (6) | 18 | 5 | **0** |
|
||||
| publisher splash (10) | 3 | 2 | **1** |
|
||||
| developer splash (11) | 7 | 2 | **1** |
|
||||
|
||||
On the three screens a port cares most about, **`rest()` never guesses at all**.
|
||||
That is why three different fallback rules render builds 4, 5 and 6 to *identical*
|
||||
correlations (+0.9500 / +0.9460 / +0.9440 for every rule) — the code is
|
||||
unreachable there.
|
||||
|
||||
### On the two splashes, the last keyframe is markedly better
|
||||
|
||||
Rendering under each rule (`SYLPHEED_REST_RULE=last|maxalpha`, default off) and
|
||||
correlating against the live captures:
|
||||
|
||||
| splash | dwell (current) | **last** | maxalpha |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| publisher | +0.9600 | **+0.9982** | +0.9600 |
|
||||
| developer | +0.9643 | **+0.9758** | +0.9643 |
|
||||
|
||||
`maxalpha` is indistinguishable from the current rule; **`last` gains +0.038 and
|
||||
+0.012**, and 0.9982 is very close to exact.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔴 This refutes my own refutation
|
||||
|
||||
I had killed "rest = the last keyframe" by argument: on the developer splash it
|
||||
makes `palogo_anima_eff` invisible while its two siblings stay lit, which looked
|
||||
like an artefact. **The capture says otherwise** — making it invisible is what
|
||||
improves the match. The sibling symmetry was my expectation, not evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **The caveat that keeps this honest:** both captures are *single frames of a
|
||||
transient animation*. They fix which pose matches **these reference frames**, not
|
||||
which pose is canonically "at rest" — a grab a second earlier would show the
|
||||
glows. What the measurement supports is: for reproducing the committed captures,
|
||||
use the last keyframe.
|
||||
|
||||
🟡 **Default unchanged.** The rule is better on both screens where it fires and
|
||||
provably identical on the other three, but it would alter the rest pose of
|
||||
**2 305** elements disc-wide and two of them have been measured. Reachable via
|
||||
`SYLPHEED_REST_RULE=last` for anyone who wants to take that further.
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Unaffected by the earlier correction: all **195** zero-scale rest poses are
|
||||
inside the genuinely-ambiguous 2 305 — none is a single-keyframe element.
