Summary

• Add the completed GPT-6.1 Sol/Abacus V-Rally run: 603 C functions / 34,164 bytes (6.0363% of detected code), original-ROM byte-identical, 61m36s overall and 2m46s automatic pass. Record $10/month, approximately 2,000 of 20,000 reported units and the 3,000 premium cap. Distinguish tool-generated matches, importer adapter, unchanged targets, missing full transcript, platform quota units and differing run budgets.
• Add the timed Sol 6.1 Light continuation (actual GPT-6.1 Sol, low effort): retained 886 C functions / 61,836 bytes, +444 / +33,872 over Terra, 9.878% of the fixed detected-code denominator. Explain the frozen 891-function isolated-check result and five full-image rejections, with the final retained-selection original cartridge verified byte-identical (886 C / 2,405 exported functions), after the matching window. Cover by-value record families, forwarded arguments, stack layouts, and jump-table context.
• Document Terra's 30-minute Turok continuation: +23 exact functions / +1,852 bytes, 4.171% to 4.467% of detected code, independently verified by a full original-cartridge rebuild.
• Analyze the Kimi Code K2.8 Preview High V-Rally session: failed import, quota exhaustion, usage totals, debugging inefficiencies, and practical lessons.
• Record participant-confirmed Kimi Plus pricing ($20/month), 100% starting allowance, exhaustion of the full five-hour allowance, and the pending GPT-6.1 Sol V-Rally comparison. Distinguish subscription price from per-run cost.
• Frame these as preliminary data for a later comparison of models, prices, usage limits, and verified results. Keep differing starting conditions and unknown monetary cost explicit.
• Improve the copyable starter prompt: main branch + commit recording, one agent, bounded session/import debugging, targeted API reads, and saved checkpoints. Remove the RNC fix/pinned-revision requirement.
• Link the importer/export repair in Preserve BSS ranges when N64 discovery splits a segment decompdecomp#3. Its separate validation imports 2,121 candidates and rebuilds the full normalized 12 MiB ROM byte for byte using zero C selections.
• Keep measurements in the article; no JSON records, raw session archive, ROMs, databases, or extracted game data are included.

Verification

• Terra: 23 additional candidates independently pass the original linked-byte judge; full cartridge byte-identical with 442 C selections.
• Importer repair: 23 tests passed, 1 unavailable-toolchain test skipped; lint passed; full private ROM rebuild byte-identical.
• Page: Jekyll build, spelling, Markdown and whitespace checks pass. Complete rendered starter prompt checked.
