macros.md gains section 12.17; macros-wram.md section 9 gains the frame-by-frame trace of a step,
the three readings that come out of it and the one byte that tracks a step exactly and is recorded
unused; macros-traps.md closes rows 54 and 54b, strikes the two residuals they worked, and prints
both checkpoints' before and after whole -- including the arm where the ethos check's "fewer
flagged windows, more distinct tiles" does not hold, and why.
BACK in a text box goes 291 to 0 and the museum is left in the first window and never returned
to, which is rows 51 to 53. The hunt's own two measures do not improve: 193 distinct tiles become
175 and 59 flagged windows become 69, because a new three-macro cycle takes the old one's five
tiles for seven and a half brain minutes and then the fly spends four minutes inside one battle,
which the tile rule flags as hard as a stall. Battle frames go 6,948 to 20,894.
Row 54 names the new cycle with the two readings that fit it, and the residual under both is the
whole-map grid being refused on every frame the fly is mid-step. Reported rather than smoothed:
the ethos check's 'the trap hunt improves' does not hold for this branch.
12.13 the two states UNKNOWN holds and why one of them presses nothing; 12.14 a frontier no walk
can reach, remembered per map rather than windowed; 12.15 what the ratchet's stall window cannot
see; 12.16 what is still in the way of the badge, measured rather than fixed -- the town errands
being session state, GO FRONTIER still being most of the run in Pewter City, and the whole-map
grid being refused on every frame the fly is mid-step (118 of 120 standing still, and the
disagreement is exactly one tile row in the direction of travel).
13.1's pad-empty table gains the row for the one empty pad that ends itself, and the ladder's
recovery budgets carry the amendment to the 2026-09-17 progress rule.
What was live, what the survey read, and what the three candidate
readings in the brief turned out to be: not the prompt, not HEAL, but the
dialog pad dealt unconditionally with TALK to get back into it. The
scene-by-scene table splits the dialog row in two and the pad-empty sweep
gains the reopen ledger's own residual. macros-wram.md narrows its "no
observable for a choice" claim rather than withdrawing it.
The rung-10 loop whole: which building the fly was in, why every candidate list
on that map emptied, the byte dump that named the battle menu's swapped entries,
the ROM-gated before and after, and the two arms of the trap hunt being identical
because a restore clears the ledgers the loop was built out of.
Section 13.1's tables follow: MENU off both overworld rows and off the narrow
counter row, the move list's conditional BACK, the start menu reachable only by
the raw START button, and two new rows in the pad-empty audit - the room whose
one door the ledger rests, and the map with no way out at all, which is the one
empty pad left and is asserted rather than covered.
The contract: no pair of buttons on any battle pad may undo each other with
nothing else changing, which is section 12.2's rule stated at the pad instead
of at one macro. Section 13.1's table takes NEXT off the own-turn main menu,
gives the bag a row of its own on the own turn, and records MOVE 1 as the
backstop that row keeps.
The audit carries the reproduction -- 71,673 frames in one battle, 73 of 73
windows flagged, BACK 739 starts on the move list against NEXT 739 on the main
menu -- the ROM-gated run before and after, the trap hunt before and after
(1 distinct tile to 260, 73 of 73 flagged windows to 68 of 73, 0 overworld
frames to 20,394), and the residuals: NEXT on a move list whose cursor the seam
cannot place is now the largest source of it, which is row 30b and wants a WRAM
reading rather than a pad change.
286 distinct tiles become 489 over twenty brain minutes from the rung-9
checkpoint, the median flagged window holds 55 tiles instead of 16, GO FRONTIER
runs 64 walks worth up to twelve net tiles instead of four worth one, and one
walk spends its cap where six did.
The cost is named rather than buried: flagged windows go 61 to 70 and windows
under four tiles 5 to 14, and every one of those is a window spent inside a
battle -- a fly that covers more ground walks into more grass, 48,756 battle
frames becoming 50,413 with the longest battle 9,549 frames becoming 13,411.
This is the first measurement in that file where more ground and fewer flags do
not both hold, and it is stated as such.
Section 15 is the contract for map-aware walks: what is decoded, the one ROM
read and why it is a read of the cartridge image, what the window fallback is
for and how it says so, and the proof. macros-wram.md section 9 is the bytes --
four addresses with their encodings, the bank-aware read on the seam, the corner
the cartridge settled, the two gates against a plausible-but-wrong decode, and
the survey of Pallet Town and Viridian Forest.
The rung-9 forest review: what was live, the mechanism of all three
observations, the audit rows, and the trap hunt before and after from the
release container's own checkpoint.
The hunt is brain-driven rather than stubbed, which is legitimate here and
was not for sections 13 and 14: this branch adds no macro type, so no
population is re-dealt and the two arms differ in the macro code alone.
Distinct tiles 216 to 286, windows flagged 70 of 73 to 61, windows under
four tiles 21 to 5, BACK starts with no list open 175 to 0, MOVE n starts
36 to 68.
Four residuals are named rather than buried: BACK is still 359 starts of
830 over open lists, which is row 34's contract; a NEXT/BACK two-cycle
closes the run inside one battle, from a move list whose cursor the seam
cannot place on its opening frames; a window spent in a battle is flagged
by the tile rule whatever happens in it; and the THROW BALL precondition
is inert in this run because the save carries a party of one.
Row 41 is the loop behind this one: in the before arm the fly answered the
nurse's box YES 474 times on one tile of a Pokemon Center for the last
eight brain minutes of the run. The after arm never enters it, so it is
neither reproduced nor fixed here. It is the next thing to measure.
