Joe DiPrimaandClaude Opus 5 5556329807 #137: REPRODUCE the myomer freeze -- reset is innocent, the myomers RUN AWAY after it
First reproduction of #137 in a bench.  The reset path is exonerated and the
real defect is located, though not yet explained.

DECOMP RE-READ (what the reset actually does):
  Mech::Reset @0049fb74 walks the roster from index 2 calling vtable +0x28
    (slot 10 = ResetToInitialState), then @0049f788.
  Myomers::RTIS @004b8aa4 -> PoweredSubsystem::RTIS @004b0e6c -> ALWAYS
    HeatSink::RTIS @004ad760, whose first act is
        param_1[0x45] = param_1[0x4f]     // currentTemperature = startingTemperature
    (byte 0x114 = 0x13C).  Our port matches AND additionally resets heatEnergy,
    which it must, since HeatSinkSimulation derives
        currentTemperature = heatEnergy / thermalMass.
  The freeze itself is the derating curve @004b8ac0:
        temp >= degradation(@0x118) -> falls off
        temp >= FAILURE(@0x11C)     -> 0.0  -> chain MAX 0 -> speedDemand *= 0.
  Nothing in the reset chain touches Myomers::speedEffect (@0x31C).

MEASURED (scratchpad/night14/myofreeze.sh -- hot mech, repeated self-kill):

    at-reset   Myomers T=77      deg=1000 fail=2000  speedEffect=0   <- stale
    post-reset Myomers T=77.14                        speedEffect=1   <- 1 frame
    post-reset Myomers T=9297.8  fail=2000            speedEffect=0
    post-reset Myomers T=11620.4 fail=2000            speedEffect=0

So, in order:
  * THE RESET WORKS.  T is exactly startingTemperature at the reset.  My
    original bench was right about that much; it just stopped looking there.
  * THE STALE speedEffect IS REAL BUT HARMLESS -- it survives the reset (no
    RTIS writes it) yet self-heals on the very next tick.  Not the bug.
  * THE MYOMERS THEN RUN AWAY: 77 -> ~11,600 against a FAILURE point of 2,000,
    nearly 6x over, in seconds.  That is not heat earned by running; that is a
    runaway, and it is what pins speedDemand at 0 until it cools -- exactly
    Oracle's "maxed heat bar ... unable to move until it cools off".
  * Rate: 7 of 105 census samples over the failure temp (~6.7%), against the
    field's 5-of-61 respawns (~8%).  Same order, so the bench is reproducing
    the field condition and not a bench artifact.
  * The myomers link to Condenser5 (mass=250000 k=190000) -- literally Oracle's
    "loop 5 and generator D heating up as all the excess heat goes into the loop".

NOT YET ESTABLISHED, and the reason this is a checkpoint and not a fix: whether
the runaway is CAUSED by the respawn or is a heat-model calibration problem that
merely CORRELATES with it (you die when you overheat, so respawns cluster around
hot periods).  The bench drives at 95% throttle with continuous missile autofire,
which is abusive, and the [heat-t] census has no pre-first-reset samples to
compare against.  Next step is to instrument the heat INPUT and diff a
respawn-adjacent window against a steady-running window.

Probe added: [myofreeze] prints T / degradation / FAILURE / speedEffect per
myomers plus the chain MAX the mover multiplies by, AT the reset and for ~4 s
after (armed by Mech::Reset, sampled where the multiplier is formed).  The
post-reset window is what nothing was watching -- sampling only at the reset is
what made this look innocent and got the ticket wrongly closed.

# #137 -- "respawns with the myomers overheated ... initially unable to move
# until it cools off" (Oracle, across several builds).
#
# WHY THE OLD BENCH PROVED NOTHING. heatrespawn.sh sampled AT the reset and
# found every heat-bearing subsystem at T == startingTemperature, so I closed
# #137 as not-a-bug. The field then measured the freeze at 5 of 61 respawns
# (~8%) across THREE machines -- throttle up, speedDemand pinned at 0. A
# bench that never reproduces the failure is not evidence the failure does not
# exist, which is the mistake that closed the ticket.
#
# WHAT THE DECOMP SAYS (re-read 2026-08-09):
# Mech::Reset @0049fb74 walks the roster from index 2 calling vtable +0x28
# (slot 10 = ResetToInitialState) on each subsystem, then @0049f788.
# Myomers::RTIS @004b8aa4 -> PoweredSubsystem::RTIS @004b0e6c -> ALWAYS
# HeatSink::RTIS @004ad760, which does `param_1[0x45] = param_1[0x4f]`
# i.e. currentTemperature(@0x114) = startingTemperature(@0x13C).
# The freeze itself is the derating curve @004b8ac0:
# temp >= degradation(@0x118) -> falls off; temp >= FAILURE(@0x11C) -> 0.0
# and 0.0 reaches the mover as the chain MAX -> speedDemand *= 0.
# CRUCIALLY: nothing in that reset chain touches Myomers::speedEffect
# (@0x31C). It keeps its pre-death value until the myomers next ticks.
#
# So three explanations survive, and only data separates them:
# (a) RESET DIDN'T TAKE -> post-reset T is high (>= fail)
# (b) STALE CACHE -> T is at start but speedEffect is still 0
# ("<<<< STALE (cold but zero)" in the receipt)
# (c) INSTANT RE-HEAT -> T starts at start and climbs back immediately
#
# THE MEASUREMENT. Mech::Reset now arms a ~4 s post-reset trace sampled where
# the mover's multiplier is actually formed:
# [myofreeze] at-reset Myomers T=.. deg=.. fail=.. speedEffect=..
# [myofreeze] post-reset Myomers T=.. deg=.. fail=.. speedEffect=..
# [myofreeze] post-reset CHAIN MAX=0 <<<< FROZEN
#
# A drives hard (heat) and self-damages to death repeatedly, so deaths land on
# a HOT mech -- the field composition. Long run: at ~8% we need many respawns.
