The short-run strategy paid off: both counter steps happen in the first minutes of flight, so one run yielded two complete passes before anything froze or was killed. Pass 1 scanned at counter 4 and filtered on 4->8, leaving 29 of 710 candidates; pass 2 scanned at 8 and filtered on 8->12, leaving 2 of 197. The intersection of the two survivor sets is EMPTY. So no per-entity bit, in either polarity, anywhere in -0x400..+0xC00 around the position triple, has a population that tracks REMAINING OB. With the word-level refutation that closes the "objectives are marked in the entity object" family as far as this method reaches. Also recorded: 16 of pass 1's 29 survivors are the SAME word, pos+0x0250, with sixteen different bits - the signature of a shared value rather than a flag, and the same offset the word-level sweep found shared by 12 attackers. And a caveat kept rather than smoothed: pass 2's B-sample HUD read 8 while RAM read 12.
