+/* VectorNormal @ 0x80047E6C -- HANDWRITTEN PsyQ libgte-style wrapper (cookbook §179-B/§179-C,
+ * §265 form 1; byte-proven exemplars: func_80059234 in src/800c.c, func_800D0440 in
+ * src/md_MAIN_003/md_MAIN_003.c).
+ *
+ * Tell-tales that this is NOT compiler output:
+ *   - $ra is stashed in $a3 across the call and restored after
+ *     (addu $a3,$ra,$zero / addu $ra,$a3,$zero) -- a hand-written leaf-caller idiom
+ *     gcc-2.7.2 never emits;
+ *   - the FINAL store (sw $t2,8($a1)) sits IN the jr $ra delay slot -- unreachable from a
+ *     C function body, whose epilogue (jr $ra; nop) cc1 appends unconditionally;
+ *   - callee func_80047EC8 is itself splat-marked "Handwritten function" (raw GTE sqr/gpf body).
+ *
+ * Hence the whole function is FILE-SCOPE basic asm (no enclosing C function => no generated
+ * prologue/epilogue), transcribed 1:1 from asm/nonmatchings/800b/VectorNormal.s:
+ *   - ".ent\t"/".end\t" with literal TABS: maspsx process_line special-cases ".ent\t" and
+ *     emits a fresh ".set noreorder"; a plain ".set noreorder" line is swallowed as state only.
+ *   - every displacement/immediate DECIMAL (maspsx int(operand) is base-10).
+ *   - delay-slot contents (the jal's nop, the jr's sw) written by hand, matching the target,
+ *     same as the banked func_80059234 / func_80059FC0 bodies.
+ *   - no .frame/.mask/.fmask: frameless (nothing saved, sp untouched); the banked
+ *     func_80059234 passed the whole-binary gate without them, proving the gate ignores
+ *     non-text frame metadata.
+ *
+ * Symbol audit vs the target's own relocation lines: the ONLY relocation in the target is
+ * the jal to func_80047EC8 (line 8 of the .s); spelled identically here. The function
+ * references no data symbols, no jumptables, and no hi-lo pairs.
+ *
+ * INTEGRATION NOTE: this REPLACES the INCLUDE_ASM("asm/nonmatchings/800b", VectorNormal)
+ * stub line in src/800b.c. The stub must be deleted, not kept beside this block -- a
+ * leftover stub defines the same symbol twice and the whole-binary gate fails at link
+ * scope (the §14b failure class match_one cannot see). Sibling VectorNormalSS (0x30,
+ * lh/sh variant, same handwritten idiom) banks with the identical template; its
+ * .L80047EAC label is dead text (single fall-through path).
