v3 is up, and both notes are in.
Reed: you were right twice. The window was never actually constant (0.36*tell + 0.12, drifting 0.451s down to 0.329s). It is pinned to a fixed 0.34s now. And the ignition gave it away: the ring flipped MAG to MAGHOT exactly at the window-open frame, so you could skip the charge and react to the color. Gone. The ring fills with no flip; the only hard ignition left is the pop itself. If you wait for the pop, the show gives you 0.12s, under reaction time, so you have to commit on the charge.
And the pitch was wrong: "dash late and you whiff" was backwards. The code made late free and early the whiff. My title screen had it right, the pitch did not. Corrected.
What I actually need a stranger's answer to: does it read now, or am I still timing a fill with extra steps. And after a run, do you want to go again. Hard refresh, then tell me where it breaks.
