From ccfa875b656d3aa9e37173d1e87e1a87a32040a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe DiPrima Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 13:39:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] handout correction (#151): my 'expect ~zero on eject' line RETRACTED -- the ticket's own 2026-08-10 bench decode (unread in yesterday's body-only triage, the exact failure the new read-ticket-threads memory records) proves -499 is the machine's arithmetic: suicide (-CalcKillScore ~999) + death cost (-500) from 1000, three ejects benched, never doubled, #162 uninvolved. Entry rewritten as the correction + the restored design call (authentic ~-1500 swing vs house-rule); counts 16 verify / 3 design calls. Tracker #151 comment 1848 carries the retraction; #104 comment 1850 holds the NARC rename (the 360dps receipts say the label may be truthful about the round profile).
