Log real-world road test results and correct/extend the CO-trim theory
New research/ROAD_TEST_LOG.md: the 2026-09-15 flash of 20262-arrow-delete-lowthrottle-composed.hex was a major real-world success (stalling fully resolved, decel backfire much reduced but not eliminated). Captures the live diagnostic reasoning that followed: correcting an overly-lean-leaning framing mid-session (residual decel pop is more likely a rich-unburned-mixture-with-no-SAI-assist problem, not a lean one), a structural hypothesis that the Idle Fuel Trim (CO) curve likely applies whenever the throttle is closed at any RPM rather than only at a literal stop (only 2 of its 32 points are currently corrected, and the untouched middle range lines up with the residual pop's RPM window), and the reasoning for rejecting airbox-baffle removal as a fix for decel popping specifically (wrong mechanism -- closed throttle isn't airbox-limited -- and risks worsening the separately-flagged, still unaddressed main-VE-table leanness gap). Also updates TABLES.md with the CO-trim applicability open question, and brings TUNING_GUIDE.md's "local research assets" section up to date (it still said maps were gitignored/unflashable, both stale).

**Open question, raised from real-world testing (2026-09-15/16, see

`../ROAD_TEST_LOG.md`): does "idle" in this table's name mean literal

engine-stopped idle, or does it apply whenever the throttle is

closed/near-closed regardless of RPM?** TuneECU's own docs say "at idle,"
|

but the table has real, non-trivial entries all the way out to 10,000 RPM
|
||||
— hard to explain if it only ever applied near a stop. Circumstantial
|

support for "applies whenever throttle is closed": a real-world decel
|

sweep through the *uncorrected* middle of this curve (RPM 2600-6500,

composed only touched points 2400 and 7000) produced residual popping in

exactly that RPM range, while the low-throttle table fix (a genuinely
|

different, confirmed-idle-adjacent table) independently and completely
|

fixed literal stopped-idle stalling. That's consistent with this curve
|

being live during the whole closed-throttle deceleration, not just at a
|

stop — but it's inference from one road test, not confirmed in the
|

decompile. Worth designing a deliberate test for if this gets revisited:
|

does the CO Trim value visibly change on TuneECU's live-diagnostics screen
|
||||
while decelerating at 4000 RPM with the throttle shut, or only once RPM
|

actually reaches idle?
