alex 91a04377d4 lane PL: decompose the /Sim/players residual by mechanism; the bankruptcy protection factor is a float32
findings/subsystems/players-residual.md is the deliverable: every one of the 54
leaves on the reference pair and the 24 on pair 2 attributed to a named
mechanism, with the rung split. 53 of 54 are pass-through -- the block is
unmodelled, not mismodelled, and only player 32's Sav is a number we compute and
get wrong.

Three corrections to the record:
- T31's self-check compared its post-turn result against the pre-turn stored
  value, so its 6-of-8 covered only the players whose limit never moves.
- the AI difficulty column IS recoverable from the save, by recomputing BnkEl
  under both columns against the value the save carries; 1 AI + 1 non-AI on all
  eleven corpus saves.
- BANKRUPTCY_PROTECTION_LIMIT_FACTOR is read fmul dword ptr, so it is a float32
  in the image; the decimal disagrees at every max income divisible by ten and
  the corpus' seven records land where the two agree (rule 23). formula-gaps Q1
  addendum + ghidra/addresses.d/lane-pl.json (3 data entries, fragment validated
  to a scratch path, no duplicate names).

verify/results/standalone/{status.json,report.txt} refreshed from a build of main
aabd8a3: the committed copy was stale at 131/55, the real number is 128/54.

T34 RecordObservedDesigns is now readable off the corpus and is NOT an intel
pass: a design's creator registers the design in its own odes, its weapons in
owep, and re-stamps otnL on its techs in otch -- odes on build, otch on creation.
Both are hypotheses until a save exists where a player observes someone else's
design.

Status stays open and is flagged as NOT identifiable: eighteen fields of the
player record split the roster the same way and only two saves carry a non-zero
value. The probe is an entry hook on W2's writer.
