- ROOT CAUSE PINNED (the session-2 half-pin was INVERTED; both probes were vacuous, R35):
cc1 emits .align 3 before EVERY jump table; maspsx passes it VERBATIM (the :435 'drop' is
an inventory-only pass); as bakes the pad SECTION-RELATIVE; link placement was never guilty
(SUBALIGN(2) + ALIGN(.,4) place 4-mod-8 carve starts tight). Merging originally-separate
TUs fires an intra-TU align where the original packed tight -> +4 at rodata 0xCC ->
image-wide %lo shift. Honest probes persisted: .run/probe_jtbl/ (verdict.md + objdumps).
- NEW tools/jtbl_rodata_pads.py: post-maspsx filter replaces each rodata .align 3 with the
ORIGINAL's exact pad bytes per a JTBL_PADS spec; fail-loud on table-count drift /
non-align-3 / non-jtbl rodata content. Byte-proven: verbatim 0xE4 pad-at-0xCC ->
filtered 0xE0 tight (= the merged carve span).
- jtbl_carve.py: spec-aware same-subseg merge (gap 0 or 4-with-zero-payload-word; else
NON-CONTIGUOUS -> isolate), interval-arithmetic pad specs (committed values CARRIED,
never re-derived), JTBL_PADS target-var emission into overlays.mk + revert() restore +
stale-.o invalidation; the false 'maspsx drops .align' docstring corrected (H5).
- Makefile: $(if $(JTBL_PADS),| jtbl_rodata_pads.py ...) stage in build/src/%.o + file-scope
empty default (env-shield). jtbl_family_bank.stub_file: duplicate-stub fail-loud (the
earlier 'ladder failure' was a wrong-TU splice into a stale _a.c stub, byte-witnessed).
- R22 clean-fleet WITH the fix wired: 140/140 byte-identical, tools-health green
(dedup 1846/0, C1 234205/234205), ZERO new banks -- fleet-neutral by construction.
- cookbook §8e (the jtbl alignment law) + §8a/§8a-pad corrections; decision-log R31 entry;
SETUP.md tool row; .gitignore allowlist for the probe verdict artifacts.
