Three conflicts, all of them two reviews appending in the same place, all
resolved by keeping both sides: `macros.md` (row 50 keeps section 12.18, row 55
becomes 12.19), `macros-traps.md` (both trap rows, both residual pairs, both arm
sections) and `scene_probe.rs` (both survey modes, `accept` and `shop`). Every
source file auto-merged.
The two rows compose on the cartridge: from the mart checkpoint the fly leaves
the counter, walks the town, and no `MOVE n` blocks any more, so the longest
chain of one macro blocked on an unchanged frame is 1 in any scene.
`macros.md` section 12.18 is the review; `macros-wram.md` section 7.1 corrects
the address table, where `wListMenuID` was said to be cleared by every text
display and an item's position in the stock was said to be its cursor index;
`macros-traps.md` carries row 55, its two arms and its ROM run, and two new
residuals -- `wListScrollOffset` is not a pinned address, and a mart that has
never drawn a buy list reads `Unknown` rather than `Shop`.
The press survey, twenty brain minutes before and after on both checkpoints,
and the ROM-gated forest run.
The ethos check's 'fewer flagged windows, more distinct tiles' holds on the
tiles on both arms (296 to 430, 163 to 184) and does NOT hold on the windows
(33/73 to 70/73, 68/73 to 73/73). After the fix the fly spends three quarters
of each run inside battles it is actually fighting, and the hunt's tile rule
flags a fighting fly exactly as hard as a stuck one. Reported rather than
smoothed.
macros.md gains 12.18 and macros-wram.md a section 10 for the accessor and the
survey that found it: press at every battle frame with a rollback pulse, and
ask every byte of WRAM and HRAM which of them separates a honoured press from
a refused one.
The half of row 50 that was wrong is where the fix is. The move list was not
drawn: MoveSelectionMenu's cursor bytes are never cleared and SelectMenuItem
decrements wCurrentMenuItem back into the one-based range on its way out, so a
turn's whole text and animation read as an open list with a placeable cursor.
The battle bag is the same trap on wListMenuID and is named rather than fixed,
because the figure that tells its list from the frame after it closes has not
been surveyed yet.
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.
It ends on rank 10 with no badges: the fly reaches the gym on 15 macros and presses TALK fifteen
times inside it, and 55 brain minutes of the stub rotation do not beat the leader. The road is
what this branch is about; winning the fight is the fly's.
The reproduction, the three surveys and the before/after for the rung-10 Pewter stall, with the
ROM-gated run's table. Rows 51 (UNKNOWN's two states), 52 (a building with no row on the map
graph) and 53 (a frontier excluded by a window that lapses) each with their tests.
Where the fly was standing, the conversation press by press, why TALK
retired nothing, the four rows this branch closes and the one it leaves,
the ROM-gated run, and the hunt: 1 distinct tile to 437, 73/73 flagged
windows to 54/73, YES in a text box on map 0x3a 1424 to 4, dialog frames
69,469 to 5,492.
The 54 that still flag are a different trap on ground the before arm
never reached -- GO FRONTIER runs and a GO OBJECTIVE/BACK/GO FRONTIER
cycle in Pewter City -- and that is the next brief.
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.
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.
