HYPOTHESIS: immediate operands are constants to the generated semantics, but the 6507 still reads their ROM byte on the external bus. Replacing that access with an aggregate two-cycle tick hides mapper side effects and scheduler order.

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