# Have ACES maintainers published anything on why aces-docs says a constant lower-hull gamma 1.14 while aces-core CTL uses 1.14 + 0.07*log_peak?

No ACES maintainer statement explains the mismatch as of 2026-10-22. Issue and PR searches in aces-docs, aces-core and aces-output return nothing for 'hull' or 'log_peak'. The docs page has had only housekeeping commits since the 1.14 sentence, and current aces-core main still scales the lower-hull gamma (and several other gamut parameters) with log_peak.

Curator qualifications: Docs and code read 2026-10-22; no transform run; log_peak definition (another library file) not read. Forum and meeting-recording statements beyond the producer's 2024-02-26 post not searched.

Limitations: Docs and code read 2026-10-22; no transform run; log_peak definition (another library file) not read.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
