Death sequence runs end-to-end on a seen collision; lives ($98) are never decremented

Per-event collision context telemetry ([CXFIRE] one line per fire-frame at the latch-set site with screen position + game state; [CXRD] at the CXPPMM read path with state/$E7/$98/$99) plus a 2400-frame extended TAS run overturn the F118 read of the logic-side defect. A SECOND collision was seen at f=2368 (ghost walked into stationary pac) and the e7 cycle restarted — two complete death sequences in one run.

Raw traces, ROM material, local paths, and personal data are not part of this public record.
