Drew T 3464a25cd0 phase-36: T7 burst — five more banks (631 bodies) and two concurrency defects the agents found
Banked: func_80136334 (126, all four levers), func_8016B234 (129), func_8015FBE0 (125), func_80143D28 (131),
func_8014D820 (126 of 128). 27,984 -> 26,714 sites.
  lever_census --check: 26,714 pin/asm sites, 26,714 marked !FAKE, 0 UNMARKED — OK

THE MISSING CALL ARGUMENT CLASS IS NOW CONFIRMED SIX TIMES, independently, by six agents that never saw each other's
work: a7, a8, a11, a12, a13, a25. In every case the source declares a call with fewer arguments than the callee really
takes — m2c drops arguments at unprototyped and indirect call sites — and the register pin was hired to fake the
instruction the missing argument would have produced. Mechanisms differ and were each proven on bytes: combine.c:1458's
added_sets_2 gate; set_preference (global.c:1535/1589) applied ahead of first-fit at :997-1030, the argument copy
degenerating to a self-move deleted at toplev.c:3142 / jump.c:424-443 so it costs zero instructions; and reorg.c:3374's
liveness half, where restoring the argument adds a use to CALL_INSN_FUNCTION_USAGE (reorg.c:428) so a delay-slot steal
is refused. No generator can reach any of it: every family rewrites statements and declarations, none edits a call's
argument list.

Two concurrency defects, both found by agents rather than by me:
- the includers cache wrote through a FIXED temp name, so concurrent processes clobbered each other's os.replace and the
  loser saw FileNotFoundError, which reads like a compiler crash on the candidate. Now a unique tempfile per process.
- the agent brief now mandates PACK/scratch/ for helper scripts and dumps, and says to retry once when a --try failure
  names something that is not your own text. Three agents had scripts overwritten mid-run by another agent.

One valuable negative: func_80178970 does not close, and the agent proved why by construction rather than by exhaustion
— only a call or a return writes $v0 in plain C, and a return's hard write is always emitted after its guarding branch,
so combine deletes the call-result copy (combine.c:914-917, use_crosses_set_p at :10127-10130; the SMALL_REGISTER_CLASSES
arm at :944-957 is not defined for MIPS). Its early-return rewrite still improves the source from 6 to 2 and reads
better than the pinned original.
