If possible, could you post a reference where it is written that "retraction goes directly from CONF 3 to 1"
From FCTM Normal operations Page 7.
"During takeoff phase, F and S speeds are the minimum speeds for retracting the surfaces: • At F speed, the aircraft accelerating (positive speed trend): retract to 1. • At S speed, the aircraft accelerating (positive speed trend): retract to 0."
