⚠️ Outdated — the skirt values on this sheet are superseded (F-R1, B-L1, B-R5, B-R6 corrected; the "bow-and-arrow" was a misread of a caged gold-tube charm). Use v4, which also adds a reference-photo toggle.
Denouement dress — reference sheet v3 (corrected transcription)
Full pixels-only re-transcription (2026-08-08) by three independent passes barred from reading prior data. Belt key unchanged. Chips with a dashed red outline are the remaining lower-confidence cells.
What changed from v2: five chest cells corrected (S1-R6-L→M/#21, S2-R2-R→F/#14, S2-R5-L→S/#01, S2-R6-R→O/#23, S3-R5-L→A/#09 — purple #03 appears nowhere on the dress); front skirt F-L2→F/#14 and F-R1→E/#13 (old value was a back-face pin misattributed across faces); back skirt is 6×2 = 12 pins — the old 5-per-column read came from a photo whose frame started below the sash, cutting off the top pin of each column. Caged-jewel gold substitute is at B-R6. S1-R1-L physically holds two stacked beads (copper over hot pink); the outer copper #05 is used. Details:
problem-11/investigation/retranscription-2026-08-08.md.Letter key (A–Z = belt order from the zipper)
Working assumption: the belt is the alphabet. First bead on the type-09 side of the zipper break is A, ascending to Z at the type-08 side. Direction is current-best, not source-proven.

Chest grid (bodice ladders) — corrected
Four gold strips, 6 rows × 2 beads = 48 cells (49 physical beads — S1-R1-L is a two-bead stack). Bead rungs are non-consecutive (pair, skip, pair); S1/S4 blocks sit ~one rung higher than S2/S3.
