- RECOVERY PASS A (wave residue): gate_stage over the 3 big-3 draft dirs recovered
6 sites the bare gate rejected — func_80168664 x3, func_80168F40 x2, func_8012B77C
x1. That is 6 of 19 PLUMBING = ~32%, matching the 16-39% range P29 measured. Batch 1
goes 27 -> 33 of 60. R22 213/213 + tools-health green.
- HONEST SIZING (correcting my own claim): ~32% is NOT "a one-time fix for a ~50% draft
loss". It moves the batch loss from 55% to 45%. Real and free; not transformative.
- WIRED (task 9): dedup_extend now gates through gate_stage (the ladder:
canon_resident_calls -> cast_call_sites -> sig_unify -> harvest_verify) instead of
harvest_verify verbatim. Its 142 candidates failed 0/142 with reasons 118 PLUMBING /
21 CC1-FAIL / 3 DIFF — ~1 in 50 a real byte divergence, the rest declaration conflicts
in the TARGET TU, which is exactly what the ladder reconciles.
GATE_NO_ARITY=1 is forced for the child: gate_stage's arity pre-pass writes the
fleet-shared engine_core.h BEFORE the gate and a failing draft can leave that edit
behind — the F1 defect that broke 141 of 213 binaries in S45. The ladder's other rungs
are draft-local. --ladder can be disabled to restore the old path.
- DOCTRINE (step 3): gate every wave with gate_stage, not bare harvest_verify. Batch 1
needed a second manual pass only because I used the bare gate first.
- LEVERAGE METRIC CORRECTED (R14/R35): the behemoth ranking must use LIVE reach
(unmatched sharers), not total sharers. func_80144B9C reads 770 ins x 141 = 108,570
by total, but 138 of those are already banked — its true weight is 770 x 3 = 2,310.
Same x134 over-count the cookbook records in §25; build_wave_args --rank live exists
precisely for this and I used the wrong ranking. Remaining >=400 ins: 57 distinct
functions / 77 live instances / 38,968 ins, reach ~1.35 => ~0.3% instr-weighted.
