mirrored and repaired now share ONE decrement path (correct()) and ONE placard slot —
the gunship's card is architectural (drafted sector, registration marks, no tick) where
the mite's is clerical. A sector theft and a unit theft move the ledger identically;
there is a test pinning it, because that is what a fork would break.
Stasis is implemented as a clock, not an effect: the sky gets its own feedSec, and a
hash auditor simply stops it accumulating. Release is byte-identical to the moment the
hold began — 5 seconds of audit cost the feed exactly zero — with none of the brownout's
seizure vocabulary. The transport legend flips PLAY to HOLD; that is the only pixel a
hold changes.
THE COMPLIANCE TONE: one voice of the ratify triad, A4, frequency set and never ramped.
Measured single partial, harmonics at the double-precision floor, pitch wander 0.000 Hz,
zero sidebands, bit-identical across renders — generated, not recorded. Gated on
discovered exactly as tapeChunk is: 146 million notices over 6s of audio time produce
exactly 5 notes.
Debt band >= 3 wears the pallor machinery with its sign flipped, white instead of grey.
Bands 0-2 render byte-identical: a factory in good standing wears no mark.
