slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 c2f7249d4d R-295: derive the counterfactual too, and name it hadHeRefused
Matching the step-5 prose against the derived source before placing markers left
five figures unmatched: 21.9, 74.3 and 3.8, twice each. They are the thing against
Ashcroft's undiminished 85 -- the contest that never happens, which Act Four prints
on purpose to price what THE OFFER sold.

Derived now as hadHeRefused, so the counterfactual is held to the rule like
everything else and carries a name that cannot be mistaken for an event. Quoting
those three as odds a GM meets is what went wrong in two sentences and a table.

Markers not placed: CLEAN_GROUND.md is c0's and they are in it.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 fb6e2cf321 R-294: check-cited resolves derived figures against the rule, not a stored copy
c0 argued a baseline for the step-5 split would be a cache of the rule and a guard
over it would mostly assert that arithmetic has not changed. Right objection,
wrong conclusion: do not store it. ARTIFACTS now takes a { derive } entry as well
as a file path -- enumerated on this build, nothing stored, and no --update able
to silence a real disagreement between the document and the game.

tools/step5-split.mjs enumerates all 10,000 pairs through opposedContestFor with
its targets derived: 55 and 60 are the lowest POWx5 in the six and in the cut, 42
is applyDifficulty(85, "difficult"). Two different rules produce those three
numbers -- the accepted row is a named exception, not the lowest of anything -- and
a test fails if anyone unifies them. A tie in "the lowest POW in the room" is
fatal rather than silently resolved; it fired for real in testing.

Proved four ways, including raising Okonkwo's POW to 13: the lowest moves to
Braithwaite, refused.held goes 48.1 to 52.4, and the citation that was correct a
moment earlier fails. The figure follows the rule.

Landed unused -- the markers are c0's to place in their own file.
