+/// **What was live** (2026-09-23, rank 10 PEWTER CITY, v0.5.3): for twenty-five minutes
+/// `GO OBJECTIVE` into the Pewter Gym and `GO OUT` straight back out, with `GO ITEM`,
+/// `GO FRONTIER`, `YES` and `NO` mixed in -- about 93 `GO OUT` and 47 `GO OBJECTIVE` per ten brain
+/// minutes, every one `done`, and not one reward event. The watchdog saw ten distinct names.
+///
+/// **What the survey found** (`infra/docs/macros-traps.md` row 58): from the gym's doormat the
+/// cartridge draws only the guide, already talked to, and hides BROCK and the Jr. Trainer for being
+/// off the screen -- so the rung's list of people was empty, `GO OBJECTIVE` had nothing to aim at
+/// inside and `GO OUT` was the pad; outside, `GO OBJECTIVE` aimed at the door. And three frames
+/// the seam read as the fly's own were the cartridge's: a warp's tear, a battle's transition, and
+/// a trainer walking up -- each of which wrote an entry that kept the room empty.
+///
+/// The claims, none of them about which button the fly presses:
+///
+/// - **the gym is not a door in and a door out**: at most three arrivals end in the fly walking
+///   straight back out inside ten seconds, against one every few seconds on the base;
+/// - **the fly goes up the room**: it stands at row 6 or above on map 54, where the Jr. Trainer
+///   is, which it never does on the base.
+///
+/// Rung 11 is printed and not asserted: which button the fly presses at the leader is the fly's.
