HYPOTHESIS: all eight official ORA modes compute their effective address with the addressing mode encoded by the opcode, OR the fetched byte into A, and set only N/Z from the result. In particular, absolute-indexed $00xx remains a three-byte absolute address and may carry into page $01; it is not a zero-page-indexed alias.

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