+## What's New in v2.196.0 — E144: Resolve's own retimes decode; a flat map is a freeze
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Resolve's own retimes decode.** Every retime Resolve 19.1.3.7 makes
+  itself — an XMEML import, a UI speed change, an EDL `M2` freeze, a speed
+  ramp — writes `KeyframesBA` in the keyed-dict form (keyframes
+  `{interp,YOut,YIn,Y,XOut,XIn,X}` under keys `0`, `1`, …), which the DRP
+  time-map reader rejected ("unsupported wire type 7"), so E140 called them
+  unknown. The reader now decodes both forms; keyframe 0 at X=0 is the
+  origin and its Y the source second the map starts on (4.0 s on a real ramp
+  harvest). Verbatim harvest blobs: a 50% constant reads 50, a ramp reads
+  its two segments (0.5 then 2.0) with the right source window, both freezes
+  read the second they hold.
+- **A source window is the map, evaluated.** A DRT event's `srcIn`/`srcOut`
+  now come from evaluating the piecewise-linear map at `In` and `In +
+  duration` (origin included), which makes ramps, reverses and rebased maps
+  come out right without special cases.
+- **A flat map over the 60000 sentinel is a freeze even with a source-in.**
+  The E66 harvest (an XMEML import of a plain 100% clip) came back with a
+  flat map at Y=0 and `In` 24, and its render is static at the source's frame
+  0: inter-frame change 0.02 against 0.42 in the source. Resolve's XMEML
+  importer froze the clip silently; the event now says frozen at frame 0 and
+  keeps the ignored `In` as `recordDomainIn`. (The first draft of this fix
+  called that map a harmless identity because it fit the prose; the render
+  said otherwise.)
+
+### Measured (filed in api-limitations)
+
+- The keyed-dict keyframe form on Resolve-made retimes, and the freeze
+  law with a present `<In>`.
+
 ## What's New in v2.195.0 — E143: a retimed DRT clip's source-in is record-domain

-- **Behavior:** Measured on a Studio 19.1.3.7 export of a 229-clip reel (E139). A SeqContainer clip (Sm2TiVideoClip / Sm2TiAudioClip) carries its record window as <Start> and <Duration> (frames, absolute), its SOURCE in-point as <In> (frames) — written EMPTY (<In/>) on every audio clip and on generator tails — <MediaFilePath>, <MediaStartTime> (seconds), <MediaFrameRate> as a 16-hex blob = one little-endian IEEE double + 8 pad bytes (24.0 = 0000000000003840…), and <MediaTimemapBA>: tag byte 0x02 + one double (the media length in seconds) on a 100% clip, a keyed Sm2TimeMap opening 00000001… on a retimed clip and on generators — its KeyframesBA is the protobuf point form (NOT the keyed-dict form a 19.1.3.7 XMEML retime import writes) and decodes with the DRP library's decodeTimemap: the keyframe slope is the speed (0.79999 on all four retimed clips of a real reel = Premiere's 80 for the same cuts, srcOut = In + round(Duration × 0.8) matching Premiere's frame for frame), XMax 60000 with a zero slope is the freeze sentinel (a Black Video generator), a negative slope is a reverse (a reversed tail leader). On a retimed clip <In> is RECORD-domain (E143): the map spans the whole source stretched by 1/speed and the clip windows into that, so the first source frame shown is In × speed — two timelines of the same reel carried the same 80% map with In 52682 (bridge-authored: source 42145, Premiere's frame) and In 42145 (hand conform: source 33716, 8,429 frames early). An Sm2TiTransition sits in the same <Items> list as the clips with <Start>/<Duration> (its span), <PrettyType> (Cross Dissolve), <AlignmentType> and <Position>: type 2 centres the span on the cut, type 3 ends it at the cut (11/11 witnessed against the clip edges; the one-sided 8-frame fade-in is type 3 / Position 1). The container carries NO frame rate, start or resolution — they live in the pool folder's embedded Sm2Sequence: <FrameRate> (LE double blob), <MediaExtents> = two LE doubles, record start SECONDS then duration SECONDS (7192.0 → frame 172608 = 01:59:52:00 at 24), <Resolution> = two big-endian uint64, width then height.
+- **Behavior:** Measured on a Studio 19.1.3.7 export of a 229-clip reel (E139).

On a retimed clip <In> is RECORD-domain (E143): the map spans the whole source stretched by 1/speed and the clip windows into that, so the first source frame shown is In × speed — two timelines of the same reel carried the same 80% map with In 52682 (bridge-authored: source 42145, Premiere's frame) and In 42145 (hand conform: source 33716, 8,429 frames early).

 - **Workaround / current handling:** Read record timing from Start/Duration, source in from In (null when empty — do not fake 0 silently), fps and start from the pool sequence (frames = round(seconds × fps)); decode a keyed timemap to its speed (E140) and report a map the decoder cannot read as speed null rather than 100%. The parser exposes these and editorial.parse_interchange {format:'drt', content: PATH} walks one timeline into normalized events so two timeline versions diff through turnover_changelist (v19 vs v20 of a real reel: identical, 229 of 229 retained).
