Drew: fix the build issue so agents' effort doesn't get wiped, this needs to be parallelizable.
- every score compares a candidate with the fleet run's object under build/, and the R22 gate starts with make clean,
which deletes exactly that. With agents scoring in parallel, a fleet gate would make every live --try compare against a
missing or half-written baseline and report nonsense in the agent's own voice.
- fixed at the single accessor: delever_oracle.baseline_path(obj) returns the snapshot under .run/P36/delever/baseline/
when it holds the object and falls back to build/ when it does not, so nothing silently scores against half a snapshot.
baseline_bytes and both direct readers in delever_search.py go through it. --snapshot-baseline refreshes it:
7,428 objects, 188 MB, taken at 9f5b22176. Valid until the fleet stops being green: the baseline is the original game's
bytes and a bank is byte-identical by construction.
- known-true test both ways: func_800123F0 in src/800.c scores 0 MATCH with build/src/800.o present; the object was moved
away and it scores 0 MATCH unchanged; restored.
- a4: func_8016C49C from a seed of 34 to score 0 by one move — do { param_1[1] = sVar1; } while (0); on the function's
LAST statement. The residual was a single qsort comparison in global_alloc lost by 142 units out of 6666 (global.c:546
sort, :587 priority, :904 first-fit). reg_n_refs is loop-weighted and computed before combine and sched, so the
reference inside the do-while is counted twice (flow.c:434, :440-443, :2067/:2501/:2711): refs 23->24, priority
6524->6808 > 6666, the order flips and all 34 words fall into place. A plain block at the same site still scores 34,
which proves it is the loop notes and not the scope.
delever --propagate: 125 of 125 sibling(s) banked, 0 refused
lever_census --check: 28,887 pin/asm sites, 28,887 marked !FAKE, 0 UNMARKED — OK
- two instrument findings to act on: the candidate ranking buried the winning move at 438 of 439 so --cap 48 discarded it
in six runs (~4,300 compiles), and history.txt's 'R15 sink @2777 -> 1' is not reproducible (the generator's own text
scores 40) — to be checked against the bytes before either is trusted.
- snapshot row 19.
