We introduce a generation-aligned diagnostic ladder that compares the emitted answer, the option logits, an affine readout of those logits, and a linear readout of the hidden state at the same answer token. Successive differences separate endpoint, decision-rule, and readout-coverage gaps. Across five systems and two emotion corpora, state decoding exceeds generation by 27.8 accuracy points on average, and both the decision-rule and readout-coverage gaps are positive in all ten conditions. A label-free logit correction improves generated accuracy in every condition, showing that part of the decision-rule gap is actionable. In rank-matched comparisons, emotion information outside the native readout generalizes to held-out speakers and survives controls for measured acoustic descriptors, but replacing the selected readout-external directions usually has little effect on emitted answers. These results distinguish information availability from behavioral use and localize performance losses across the decision rule and the state-to-answer readout.
