HYPOTHESIS: unindexed zero-page read instructions need three external accesses: opcode at PC, address low at PC+1, and data at $00xx. Merely adding a traced data read before the existing functional mem_read8 would duplicate mapper or I/O side effects.

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