From 97d73612a43b1543a7f141a5e135a6e93eaf1384 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyd Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 12:24:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NET-NOTES: Mac console egress window also 3.4s -- venue delay = print time Measured Console 4.10 through the mirror: mission end to lights-off is 3.4s, identical to the TeslaConsole, with the Mac printer spooling to a file. No egress-delay key exists in any console INI. Best explanation for the remembered venue window: the console closes after spooling the score sheet, and on period hardware that was a 9600-baud serial print taking tens of seconds -- the floor lights stayed on for the print duration. The hold itself is genuinely console-gated (pod holds indefinitely when no close arrives).
