Both committed predictions are wrong, in different and useful ways.
1b FALSIFIED: ar-oracle-A-pre.sav + load + one End Turn gives 4c356f59...,
not 7a8b3d5e... - and gives it byte-for-byte in two fresh hooks=off
processes. 23 leaves apart from AR's continuation, 17 of them one AI fleet
(Zeta Fleet V moved in the continuation and stayed put after a load). So
AR's second hash may NOT enter determinism-hashes.txt as a load->turn pair;
the load form is certified instead. The resave canonicalisation is
exonerated: the pre-turn round trip differs in exactly one leaf,
/CD[1]/NPrvVa, +5.00 per load - which also corrects determinism-oracle.md's
"nothing else varies".
Probe 1: the two files DIFFER, and /Sim/RNG, /Sim/trdmgr and every player-0
fleet are identical as predicted - but ZERO TechTree and ZERO ResTNm leaves
differ. Both processes picked BIO_GrvAdpt. The 144 leaves are a combat at
Venkman: Auto Resolve Peacefully means the human commits no ships, not that
no combat occurs, and the planet's defences killed two raiders in one
process and one in the other.
The producer run (config already on the guest, no build) names why the pick
agreed: producers A and B both returned null, Player[32] reached the
candidate walk, and candidatesTried=1. The outcome set is a singleton by
COUNT, not by producer gate - so ResTNm == '' is necessary for research
exposure, not sufficient.
VM145 restored byte-for-byte and released.
