fwiw Arhsh shows an anachronism wrt bittul hametz & bedikah.  He notes that
at the mishnah level, bittul was not yet a given and this changes the
dynamic of what is implied, iow w/o bittul a safek is a s'orraisso, while
with bittul a safek us derabbavnan [the tur makes this explicit hilluk]

also fwiw from the mishnah there is [apparently] no such thing as krias
megillah at night.  this is a memra of RYBL.  this can be understood that
megillah in a kfar is pushed backto yom haknissah this will not help wrt
the evening k'riah...

also the Rosh [and tosafos] learn that lechem mishna is required at the
Seder, but this might have bee na Gaonic enactment re:  YT, and only existed
in Almud on Sahbbbos. hence Behag is mechaleik between  Seder  on Sahbbos [3
matzos] and seder on weeknight] 2 matzos.   Was Behag ware of the
anachornism, or was he BEFORE the Gaonic Takkanah?

it seems some poskim are more aware of the chronology then others.
