- the gate DECODED from matched C (func_8012832C case 0x300E -> func_80128998 -> streaming
API with &cdFileLocTable[144]) -> scene arithmetic named the 1ST-BOSS arena -> ONE targeted
load captured it at 0x801E4C60
- RETRO-VERIFIED: Phase-3's dumps/ram_castle.bin (2026-06-14) holds it at the SAME address,
same 6,764-B exact prefix — R10 two independent datapoints two months apart;
bossHp_SteamKnight (0x801E4398) lives inside this module's image
- onboarded md_SC02_009 (id 0x3E, TLO 0x4): BYTE-IDENTICAL first build; fleet 213;
R22 213/213; tools-health OK; audit-disc UNCLAIMED 6 -> 5, residue 0
- the last 5 (MAIN/7, MAIN/9, SC03/53/54/56) reclassified emulator->STATIC-RE targets with
decoded leads (memory-map §S45 p3); loc-id map appended to docs/debug-menu-list.txt
- negatives banked: pause menu, memory-box prompt, new-game intro, high/low game, Minku
spawn (slot-A actor 0x15 = md_MAIN_015 candidate naming)
- THE TOUR (Drew driving the retail debug menu; mode-7 hammer over the Redux web API):
all 28 script modules captured live at four byte-verified per-chapter slots
(SC03/73-79 @0x801EF468 ch2-period, SC03/132-138 @0x801E25E8 ch3, SC04/24-30
@0x801E7B28, SC05/23-29 @0x801ED988); the routing law: debug-menu AREA selects the
chapter, each CITY interior streams its own module (member k <-> interior k).
md_MAIN_011/DISELECT byte-proven 24,236/24,240 in RAM; slots A/B/boot R34-verified live.
- MAIN/3 DISCOVERED: the main-menu module (id 0x39, 121,884 B), mis-bucketed as data by
BOTH audit oracles; live byte-proven @0x800CEDF8 (42,632-B exact prefix); onboarded.
- 29 onboardings BYTE-IDENTICAL on first build -> fleet 212; R22 212/212 after three
md_MAIN_003 catches: the A4 DsMix leak; an extract-order-sensitive splat boundary
(bytes: a 1-word data sentinel in .text + fn at +4 -> pinned in symbols file);
corpus.stubs now treats D_*/jtbl_* INCLUDE_ASM as blob includes (mirrors progress.py)
- module-id census (offline, disc-wide): 77 id-law code payloads, 0 further misses;
SC03/55 = confirmed DATA. audit-disc: UNCLAIMED 34 -> 6, residue 0 — the 6 carry
byte-checked negative evidence; next tier = the CD-read tracer
- docs: memory-map §S45 (slots + routing + debug-menu ops), disc-completeness S45
addendum, decision-log R31 entry, docs/debug-menu-list.txt (Drew's transcription)
- .run/s45 evidence allowlisted (tour logs/scripts/rosters); 104 ram dumps LOCAL-ONLY
- new baseline: 93.8% instr / 95.68% fn / 87.2% distinct over 212
- slot A 29/29 (md_MAIN_013..041 @ 0x800CAE08), slot B 6/6 (md_MAIN_042..047 @ 0x800CCB1C),
boot trio 3/3 (md_MAIN_001 [=MAIN/0 twin], md_MAIN_008, md_MAIN_011 @ 0x800CEDF8) — every one
BYTE-IDENTICAL on its FIRST build (byte-corroborating the §S44 loader table for slots A/B/boot)
- TLO roster derived from the §154 id-word law (.run/s45/derive_tlo.py): 0x4 default;
011=0x7C, 025=0xC, 034=0x80, 039=0xC (first-prologue scan)
- new_binary.sh: module hdr carve is now a dot-typed .rodata PAIRED with the c segment —
a header can hold a function's jump table (md_MAIN_034), and standalone rodata emits
.L locals that don't cross objects; bin links in the data block (both refuted by bytes)
- A4 law: symbols.resident.txt dropped from the boot trio's stacks (windows inside the
resident region; DsMix @0x800D1BD8 had minted a phantom fn boundary in md_MAIN_011) —
re-extracted clean, all three byte-identical, phantom gone
- Three uncompressed (PAC type-1) overlays at the standard 0x80128158 slot, onboarded via the new
tools/new_binary.sh, each byte-identical at 100% INCLUDE_ASM on the FIRST build:
ov_MAIN_012 d6b3e8b9 (383,783 B, 2,324 fns)
ov_SC02_037 b0c5394a (661,903 B, 2,434 fns)
ov_SC03_107 87d02b57 (474,087 B, 2,414 fns)
This also BYTE-PROVES the statically derived base (the §S44 loader table + the 500:1 h_exact
vote): a wrong vram could not have produced byte-identical images once symbols resolve.
- Fleet: 140 -> 143 binaries. audit-binaries currently FAILS on all three by design (no
engine_core.h include yet — the SC07-blindness check working as built); dedup_extend is the fix
and the next commit.
- Registered by the script: overlays.mk blocks, check.sha, symbols seeds, the 3 BINARIES dicts.
family map regenerated (3,577 target families / 279 with a matched sib — the new binaries'
members now visible).
The whole-binary byte-gate is structurally blind to code nobody onboarded (R34): check-all is
green over the onboarded set no matter what code sits unbuilt on the disc. This reconciles the
onboarded set against every code-bearing PAC payload.
- new_overlay.sh: optional [ENTRY] arg (default 0.4) reaches a non-0.4.dec payload. Onboarded
ov_SC07_{006,007,010,011} from 1.4.dec (they put graphics at PAC entry 0, the code overlay at
entry 1 — invisible to the 0.4 hardcode for a month). Each byte-identical (7ca772be / b3b95547 /
d7b5875d / 9885af74). FLEET 136 -> 140; check-all 140/140 (T2's pass==N re-baselined cleanly).
difficulty.py NOT in the insertion set anymore (it derives, T6) -> only 3 tool dicts touched.
- tools/disc_code_sweep.py: decode every payload (reusing sig_image.make_insn) and gate code on
BOTH valid>=0.90 AND jr_$ra density>=0.01. The jr_$ra gate is decisive: isValid() alone flags
389 false hits (type-0/2 structured data decodes ~100% valid but has ZERO returns); jr_$ra
separates code (~2.9-3.4%) from data (0.000%), validated on positive+negative controls.
- FINDING (docs/disc-completeness.md): type-4 location overlays are COMPLETE (138/138). All other
types are data EXCEPT type-1 = 40 code payloads, 1 onboarded (the resident), 39 HIDDEN
resident-class modules (mostly MAIN.CD/FILE_XXX/1.1). They load at UNKNOWN addresses (not the
shared overlay slot), so they are NOT mechanically onboardable — byte-verifying a build binary
needs its load address (P9), knowable only by runtime RE (the Phase-3 method). Deferred with
evidence, NOT force-onboarded at a guess.
- CONSEQUENCE: game-code TRUE 100% now spans 140 onboarded binaries PLUS ~39 type-1 modules
pending load-address RE. The roadmap assumed 136 — this is a real re-baselining (the +4 overlays
also add ~2.45 MB to the denominator; every family propagation is now x138). Flows to T10/T11.
- SETUP §6.3 tool inventory updated (R21).
- onboarded all 118 not-yet-onboarded overlays via tools/new_overlay.sh (0 failed)
-> fleet = 134 location overlays + main + resident = 136 binaries
- R22 CLEAN rebuild (make clean -> extract all 136 -> make check-all):
136 passed, 0 failed of 136 -- every overlay byte-identical at 100% INCLUDE_ASM
from a fully clean tree, 0 extract failures
- per-overlay config (splat.ov_*.yaml / check.ov_*.sha / symbols.ov_*.txt) +
config/overlays.mk var blocks + the 4 report/diff BINARIES dicts auto-registered
(sentinel-anchored, idempotent); src/ov_*/ stub records committed (harvest_verify
reverts via git checkout, so the records must be tracked before any harvest)
- ghidra/ churn NOT staged (R23); build/asm/assets/.run gitignored
- report-digest regen (fleet-wide duplicates.cross.md + progress.fleet.md) is T4
- onboarded ov_{SC01_000,SC01_001,SC02_000,SC02_003,SC03_002,SC03_006,
SC04_000,SC04_018,SC04_019,SC05_000,SC06_000,SC07_000} via tools/new_overlay.sh
— spans all 7 SC areas + 2 full duplicate pairs (SC02_000≡003, SC04_018≡019)
- each byte-identical at 100% INCLUDE_ASM (non-4-aligned auto-handled); no
position-lock anomalies — the cross-shape risk is retired before the full onboard
- make check-all = 18/18 passed (main + resident + 4 prior + 12 new)
- config/overlays.mk + 4 report dicts auto-registered (sentinel, idempotent)
- ghidra/ DB churn NOT staged (R23); asm/build/assets/.run gitignored
- diff_settings.py + progress.py/difficulty.py/dup_report.py: add the `resident` BINARIES entry
(build/resident/, config/check.resident.sha, src/resident, asm/resident/nonmatchings, per-binary docs)
- dup_report.py: degrade gracefully when the Ghidra sig (.run/sig.resident.jsonl) is absent —
write a placeholder + exit 0 instead of crashing the whole `make report` (sig is a T4 export)
- progress.py: scope linked_subsegs() to BINARY==main — PsyQ library linking is the EXE's layout
(Phase 8, gated ifeq BINARY,main), so a second binary has 0 LINKED (was: listed main's libs)
- Makefile expected: per-binary-safe — drop `rm -rf expected/build` (clobbered every sibling
baseline); refresh only the active binary's image dir + merge-copy (cp never deletes siblings)
- reports: resident = 0 REAL / 143 INCLUDE_ASM stubs / 100% stub (correct); main UNCHANGED
(52 REAL / 959 LINKED / 50.24%); both expected/ baselines coexist (verified)
- asm-differ calls apply(config, args) with a fixed signature, so the active binary
is selected via the BFM_BINARY env var (default main = the EXE images); BINARIES
table -> {baseimg, myimg, mapfile}; unknown BFM_BINARY errors loud
- main keeps expected/build/us/SLUS_007.26.{elf,map} (no-op for the EXE workflow)
- gate: apply() unit test (main->EXE paths; bogus->error); asm-differ -o func_80018F20
--format json -> current_score=0 (MATCH) through the parameterized config
