+// Sibling of func_801749C8 (already banked in this same TU, ~line 8640): identical 8-call
+// clamp/approach prologue and identical trailing MATRIX+SVECTOR / func_8012F14C rotate.
+// Two deltas vs that sibling: the single func_80049CAC(p+0x18,&m) is expanded inline here into
+// the 4-call matrix build (func_80013F3C / func_800123F0 / func_80012558 / func_800126C4), and
+// param_2 is a *short* (hence the sll/sra 16 on $s1) folded into the func_80012558 angle & 0xFFF.
+//
+// THE ONLY NON-OBVIOUS LEVER (regalloc-order, +2 ins = the $s2 save/restore pair):
+//   The target keeps &D_80126940 materialized in a callee-saved reg ($s2: lui+addiu once, then
+//   `lh 0($s2)` on BOTH sides of the 4 matrix calls), while D_80126942/44 are re-emitted as
+//   lui + `lh %lo(...)` at each of their two uses. Reading D_80126940 as a plain scalar makes gcc
+//   treat all three uniformly (121 ins, no $s2) -> LENGTH-DRIFT -2. Taking its address ONCE into
+//   a local pointer (`s16 *pv = &D_80126940;`) forces the address into a call-crossing pseudo,
+//   which lands in $s2. No `register __asm__` pin is needed.
+//
+// BANKING NOTES (this draft is written to drop straight into
+// src/ov_SC07_006/ov_SC07_006_jr_8015C32C.c):
+//   * Every callee decl below is VERBATIM the one the TU already carries at file scope —
+//     func_80012ABC (engine_core.h:28579 / TU:8631), func_80012C6C (TU:1149),
+//     func_80013F3C/func_80012558/func_800126C4/func_800123F0 (TU:1152-1155),
+//     func_8012F14C (TU:399).  The s16-returning calls therefore go through the
+//     `((s16 (*)(s32,s32,s32))f)(...)` func-ptr cast idiom already used by func_801749C8,
+//     so the canonical s32 prototypes are kept and NEVER redeclared.
+//   * D_80126940/42/44 are already `extern s16` at TU:160-162 — drop the three externs below.
+//   * Mtx_80174CB0 / Svec_80174CB0 are locally-unique names (== MATRIX / SVECTOR layouts) so
+//     they cannot collide with engine_types.h; they may be kept as-is or swapped for
+//     MATRIX / SVECTOR when banking.
+//   * THE OWN-SIGNATURE BLOCKER (the layer under the func_80012ABC one): the TU expands
+//     DEFINE_func_80174C80() at line 8702, and that macro carries
+//         extern s32 func_80174CB0(s32, s32);
+//     So this function MUST be defined `s32 func_80174CB0(s32, s32)` — a `void`/`s16 param_2`
+//     draft compiles fine standalone but dies with "conflicting types for `func_80174CB0'"
+//     in the TU. The s16-ness of param_2 (the sll/sra 16 at 80174DDC) is recovered by the
+//     explicit `(s16)param_2` cast at the func_80012558 use site; byte-identical either way.
+//
+// VERIFIED IN-TU: appending this file to a copy of the real TU (with the INCLUDE_ASM line
+// removed) compiles cc1-clean (rc=0, same as baseline) and the resulting object's
+// func_80174CB0 is 123/123 instructions with 0 diffs vs the target .s.
