The previous collision path retained sticky registers and recomputed on a mid-line read, but recomputation still projected every object from the latest scalar register state. A player, missile, ball or playfield transition could therefore create or erase an overlap over pixels the beam had already crossed.

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