Concern: Iter 31's audit picked dossier §10.2 #1 ("Timer never fires → TIM64T not modeled or INTIM not decrementing → attract state machine wedged") as the highest-prior diagnostic. Asteroids' attract mode renders only the score/lives HUD; the dossier explicitly names timer wedge as the canonical cause.

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