THE TERMINATOR KILLER DECODED

There is NO ager. (2) INDEXED-RMW ZERO-PAGE WRAP — lifter.py's INC/DEC indexed path created the _rmw_addr effective-address vreg with the 6502 register width (W8), so the emitter masked the address ADD with & 0xFF: DEC $0285,X (RIOT I/O space — harmless on hardware, likely never even executed there) became DEC ($85+X) in RAM — and with X=0 that is the list terminator.

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