# Worklist — remaining functions ranked by byte-weighted project gain

> Generated by `tools/worklist.py` from `.run/fuel_manifest.json` + `.run/backlog.jsonl`. Ranked by **byte-weighted gain** `gain_ins = reach × nins` (fleet instructions made byte-identical once matched **and** propagated ×138 — the decomp.dev-comparable metric the giants move, NOT function-count). `%rem` = share of ALL remaining gain; `cum%` = running total (shows how few giants capture most of it). `close` = backlog match_one mismatch count (lower = nearer; blank = not yet attempted). Byte-gate (harvest_verify) is the sole arbiter (G3/P9).

**Live stubs:** 160  ·  **total remaining gain:** 583,077 ins (2,332,308 bytes ×-fleet)
