A pilot-only run froze at t~150.7s (frozen.py: max_pixel_delta=0), found by
accident when the sweep-free experiment aborted at startup and the run flew with
no script probe attached. The tally is now 3-of-3 frozen with the probe versus
1-of-3 without, not 3-versus-0. Still a lean, but not the clean separation the
previous entry claimed, and marked down accordingly -- the fourth time a freeze
conclusion here has had to be softened by one more run.
The sweep-free test itself could not run: ScriptMission is re-allocated per run,
so the address from an earlier run (0xBC7A2A20) read back all zeros. The cheap
self-consistency check ([m+44] must equal the phase's [+244]) rejected it
instead of reporting garbage, which is the part that worked.
Names the cheaper replacement: a BOUNDED pointer scan. Every ScriptMission seen
so far sits in 0xBC79xxxx-0xBC7Axxxx, so ~32MB instead of ~371MB would cut the
sweep cost roughly tenfold. Not yet implemented.
Watching [ScriptMission+40] and the three phase-1 objective squadrons together:
all of ADN110/111/112 flip state 1 -> 2 at ~143s, while records in state 2 climb
24 -> 35 over four minutes.
So state 1 means 'not yet deployed' for these, not 'gone'. The built-in table's
'1/3/4 = gone/dead/invalid' shorthand is incomplete, and reading state != 2 as
destroyed would have been wrong exactly as flagged last iteration.
This also answers a much older question: mission-arrival-watch.md and the wave
work recorded '0 confirmed arrivals' across many runs by watching the CRAFT
population. The script's own unit table shows arrivals plainly -- eleven records
enter state 2 within four minutes. The old negative measured the wrong
structure; craft counts conflate deployment with attrition, the per-unit state
field does not.
Both attempts froze (at ~70s and ~253s), so no phase advance was reached. The
freeze witness caught both immediately, which is why the truncation is visible
instead of a silently flat line.
