HYPOTHESIS: CPX applies the same unsigned-C and wrapped-N/Z comparison contract as CMP, but its left operand is X and X is never modified. Immediate, zero-page, and absolute encodings have 2/3/4-cycle read-class schedules.

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