docs: measure the row the tables could not resolve, and fix the repeat count
Two things a reader could quote against this wiki, and one measurement.
The count of cross-run repeats disagreed with itself. Measured Results is the
register and says four; several sentences said two, including one on that same
page twelve lines from where it counts four correctly, and one that called two
of them "the whole of the project's direct answer to the single-fork
objection" — excluding the two-fork control, the only published run whose ±
covers more than one JVM launch, which is the most direct answer there is.
Three further sentences said three of the four teach that ratios reproduce;
two do, because both loader repeats establish an asymmetry rather than a
ratio, which the register already stated.
The 112.7 µs anchor has been marked TODO on four pages because it appears in
no table. A control run at ed83cad settles part of it. Falco's cost rises
32.8 % from UNIFORM to MIXED on disjoint intervals — the "about a third" that
depended on 112.7 reproduces without it. The lead does not fall from 1.30× to
1.06× as the withdrawn sentence had it: it measures 1.16× and 1.15×, and where
the published MIXED row cannot order the two at all, this one can. Where 112.7
came from is still unknown; this run measures that cell at 107.59 and the
published table says 109.2.
The control run is published beside the table, never inside it, and no digit
above it changed. It is one fork on a machine recorded as not idle, its lower
bound reaches 1.03×, and the page says so where the number is rather than only
in the provenance line.

docs: split the working record into status, measurements and contributing
Project Status had grown to 1 783 lines and eighteen sections, from Environment
and Conventions through Measured to Defects and Open. A table of contents above
a page that holds three unrelated things does not make it one thing.
Measured Results now holds every measured table and all eleven provenance
lines. Contributing holds Environment, Working on this, Conventions and
Releasing and snapshots, and is what the repository's new CONTRIBUTING.md
points at. Project Status keeps what its name says: facts, decisions, what is
in the branch, defects, what is open.
The text moved word for word. Heading levels are unchanged, so every
subsection anchor still resolves — only the page in front of it differs. The
old file was checked paragraph by paragraph against the three new ones: 257 of
274 identical, the other 17 differing only in a redirected link or a rewrapped
line. ± appears 94 times before and 94 in the moved text, × 106 times in both.
No figure changed.
The split also broke eighteen sentences that no link checker can catch. They
carry no anchor — "the full tables are in Project Status", "the working
record: benchmark results with their conditions" — so they resolve perfectly
and say something that stopped being true. The worst of them was in
_Footer.md, which renders under all thirty pages. Every one of the twenty-eight
references to Project Status has since been read in context and either
redirected or confirmed.
The Gradle group folds to Build Setup, which already listed all six pages
behind it. Five more long pages gained a table of contents. Home no longer
opens with a greeting.
