a p22 twin bee sparkler

Please remember that the correct term is 'sparker', not 'sparkler'. There is no 'l'. This was previously discussed several times.
https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?oldi ... sparklers?

As a side note, once upon a time 'sparkler' actually referred to some specific alien objects:

I've finished cataloguing these new patterns. They are the hippo rake, zipper rake, plow trailer, combine trailer, hex rake, sparkler, big six shooter stack, shortwave, and longwave. Good stuff!

A common p3 oscillator that I found from randomly scribbling in Golly.

You can't rename an object I found and named.

[confocaloid]

[...] You can't rename an object I found and named.

There were several different objects named 'sparkler' by different people, who found them in different time in different CA. I think that just means the word 'sparkler' is ambiguous, as a CA object name. By itself that should not be a problem, though, as long as there are no two different objects with the same name in a single CA.

(Recent misspellings of the term 'sparker' are not relevant, though. They're not names of objects, and they're not a correct spelling of a term.)

A few partials:

p96. Come up with a way to prevent the marked cells from forming a loaf, and we'd have a p96 R hassler. 96 = 32 x 3, so there's a lot of factors to work with there. A 1-catalyst periodic CatForce search with a bunch of high clearance p8's and p16's didn't find anything, though.

Placing a dot spark at the red cell at gen 88 would remove the loaf, but due to interference, only P32 or P48 would work.

To avoid that problem, one would need a recipe that delivers the obo! spark predecessor very quickly (avoiding the collision), while still being repeatable at p28.
