Two entries, both written as documentary source rather than bookkeeping.

#63 is the epidemic itself: `~dirt.doNotReadYet = true` makes SuperDirt read WAV
HEADERS ONLY, so every bank registers with a correct file count and its buffers
hold no audio. The methodological lesson is worth more than the bug — every
measurement used a 4-8 second window, and at that timescale a TIME-VARYING
failure looks STATIC. "These two sample banks are dead" was overwhelming and
wrong, and six hypotheses got built on top of it. The decisive test was one
command: same pattern, t+3s healthy, t+26s gone.

Also recorded honestly: our own probe tool FABRICATED signal from contaminated
taps and contradicted PLN's ears for an hour. Five orbits at an identical +0.0
dBFS peak was the fingerprint nobody read. Kept in the archive on purpose — a
tool that invents evidence outranks the human in an argument it should always
lose, and that is worth remembering out loud.

#59 is the smaller, funnier one: "sound broke after a Window Reload, fixed by a
Tidal reboot" was never a breakage. Lazy activationHooks left the package
dormant, and `tidalcycles:reboot` was simply the first activationCommand that
woke it. The workaround worked for a reason unrelated to the story told about it,
which is exactly why nobody looked further for months.
