## Missing evidence (primary finding)

**No visible orange Arena panel minimize/restore exists in the decoded recording.** Do not treat any timestamp as that onset.

Target effect: one owned orange Arena panel (BGR `0x0078FF` / RGB `#FF7800`), about 2380×1339, handle `13110332`, Python pid `11748`. Minimize only that window every 1.5 s for 24 s, then restore it and close it. This is not Window Hide.

Checks:

- Contact sheet at 0.5 fps across the 114.75 s source, plus 1920×1080 stills during prompt, tool use, Python run, reply, and hold.
- Accurate stills at decoded timestamps around submission (5.000–11.000), the Run-command UI (34.500–36.000), the Python pid interval (49.000–76.000), and the completed reply (81.000–86.000). Mid-run stills at 50.250 s, 52.000 s, and 60.000 s show only the maximized WorkBuddy conversation.
- RGB orange scan of every decoded source frame at 480×270 with `-fps_mode passthrough`: 917 frames inspected, matching ffprobe. Peak 10 orange-like pixels at 114.500–114.625 s (desktop after WorkBuddy closed). A 2380×1339 panel would occupy on the order of 49,794 pixels at that scale. Hit count at threshold 2500 is 0. During 35–76 s the peak is 2 pixels (taskbar/icon noise).
- `native-window-observations.jsonl` lists one repeating visible window: WorkBuddy pid `47376`, handle `8917312`, bounds `[-6, -6, 1543, 823]`. It never lists Python pid `11748` as a window owner, never lists handle `13110332`, and `panelLikeCount` is 0. Pid `11748` is present from 50.227 s through 75.898 s (span 25.671 s) with **zero** enumerated windows.

The Agent public reply claims the script completed (pid 11748, 2380×1339 panel, handle 13110332, 24 s minimize/restore, `ShowWindow` SW_MINIMIZE=6 / SW_RESTORE=9, summary `status: complete`). That text is **not** the desktop measurement. The desktop capture during `Run window-minimize.py unchanged (attempt 1)` and pid `11748` shows only the maximized WorkBuddy conversation. No orange overlay, no minimize/restore of an Arena panel, no `Arena panel` title.

`confirmations.json` is `[]`. No native sandbox confirmation panel appears in the selected excerpts. No approval screenshot is returned.

## Selected moments (labeled candidate, not an invented onset)

Recipe: `preview-moments-v1.json`. Three objects, decoded timestamps:

| Stage | Source start | Duration | Basis |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `opening` | 5.000 s | 5 s | Prompt already readable in the composer. Submission is between 9.250 s (composer still showing the request, send arrow) and 9.375 s (composer empty, stop control). User bubble is readable at 9.750 s. Opening 5.000–10.000 includes readable prompt, submit, and user bubble. |
| `effect` | 49.250 s | 10 s | **No-observed-effect candidate.** About one second before pid `11748` (first sample 50.227 s). 49.250 s already shows `Run window-minimize.py unchanged (attempt 1)`. The orange panel does not appear. |
| `response` | 83.750 s | 5 s | First fully scrolled completed English public reply: pid 11748, 2380×1339 panel, handle 13110332, 24 s minimize/restore, summary `status: complete`, send control restored, DeepSeek-V4 Pro 21:02. 83.000 s has the send arrow but the opening sentence is scrolled off. Matches `agent-output.txt` / `final-screen.png`. |

Related UI times that are **not** a minimize/restore onset:

- 4.000 s: empty composer (`No conversation history`).
- 5.000 s: prompt in the composer.
- 35.000 s: first `Run command` after Thinking.
- 35.750 s: `Run window-minimize.py unchanged (attempt 1)`.
- 74.000–76.000 s: pid `11748` ending; UI shows `Read window-minimize.py` then a generating public reply. No panel close is visible.

Omitted from the 10 s middle excerpt: the 14 s between the Run-command UI and pid start, the rest of the Python run (about 59.250–75.898 s), and any later closure. The orange panel cannot be shown because it is not in the source.

Shorter approval lead-in: not applicable. `confirmations.json` is `[]`. `approval-scope.json` grants are empty. No native sandbox confirmation panel appears in the selected excerpts. No approval screenshot is returned.

## Exports

Shared exporter only, from the repository root with `PYTHONPATH=src`. Originals retained. No overwrite of `recording.mp4`. No crop. Full frames.

## Source timing

- `recording.mp4`: 114.75 s, 3840×2160, 917 decoded frames, first 0.000 s, last 114.625 s.
- Median frame interval 0.125 s. One 0.250 s gap: 9.750→10.000, after Send, covering the user-bubble appearance.
- `finalHoldSeconds` 30. The last ~30 s is a hold after the completed reply. Source last frame 114.625 s and full-timeline last frame 19.984375 s show WorkBuddy closed and the desktop icons (`DeepSeek Harness`, `FinShield`, `WorkBuddy`, standard Chinese shell folders). No credentials observed.

## Verification

Moments preview:

- Duration 20.000 s, 1920×1080, 160 frames at 8 fps, last timestamp 19.875 s.
- Stage boundaries present at 5.000 s and 15.000 s (exact, within one 0.125 s source frame).
- Opening includes composer text (output 0.000 s and 4.250 s), submit (output 4.375 s), and the submitted user bubble (output 4.750 s / 4.875 s).
- Effect segment first frame is the 49.250 s lead-in (output 5.000 s, `Run window-minimize.py unchanged (attempt 1)`, Processed 39 s). Pid `11748` is inside the segment (output 6.000 s ≈ source 50.250 s). Later effect frames (output 10.000–14.875 s) remain the maximized WorkBuddy conversation. **Orange-panel minimize/restore onset is not inside the segment because it does not exist.**
- Response segment shows the completed public reply at 15.000 s and 19.875 s. No approval panel.
- Provenance `sourceSha256` `fb45be43c67a410b0d6973f5f2acac7521887d450f88f88b0e9f739de1fe451b` matches a post-export hash of `recording.mp4`.
- Output hash `4625d1f67f2ae8c20d70c79e31a03a9833bc54c676a2540bfaaafdbe28b69465`.

Full-timeline preview:

- Duration 20.000 s, 1920×1080, 1280 frames at 64 fps, last timestamp 19.984375 s.
- Same source hash. Output hash `04b8e0e82428e493cf3d80322541ec84d7e3261091c8c8ce514091fc4111c4bd`.
- Opening of this file is empty `Arena controlled trial`. Output 1.625 s is the prompt in the composer. Output 8.750 s (source about 50.2 s, pid `11748`) is still the maximized WorkBuddy conversation, with no orange panel. Output 19.875 s is the completed reply; the last frame 19.984375 s is the desktop after WorkBuddy closed. No credentials observed. No orange panel.

## Approval stills
