this corpus thought Last iteration I proposed that the boot title is phase 2 and the attract-returned title is phase 4 state 0, and that only phase 2 wires up A -- a candidate answer to the oldest open question in canary-scripted-input-traps.md. I marked it untested and named a test that needed reading this+132 at runtime. There was a cheaper one. The decoded graph says B from the main menu is the edge 4 -> 0, so the B-returned title IS phase 4 state 0. If that state were the inert one, A would not work there. A works. Control first -- A on the boot title opened the menu -- then A on the B-returned title opened it too. So phase 4 state 0 handles A and the hypothesis is refuted, one iteration after I raised it. Recorded in REFUTED under my own name, and the conditional stated: the edge is decoded, but which title it produces is my inference. The test earned something better than it cost, though. That page frames the problem as "the boot title accepts A, a later title does not", and that is too broad -- the B-returned title accepts A perfectly well, a case nobody had tried. Only the ATTRACT-returned title is inert. Whatever causes it is tied to the attract cycle specifically rather than to the title having been shown before, which is a much smaller haystack. Also reproduced in passing: 4 s after B the plate is absent and fades in after, the same near-miss this corpus has already been caught by once.
