tool_census's two enumerations disagreed on one file: the new tool was written but never added, so the dictionary row
existed for a path git did not carry. That is exactly the disagreement the second oracle is there to find.
- a22: func_8017B238 closed by giving the if-arm's pointer and the else arm's first table address one function-scope
local. Three decisions turn on that edit, all dump-proven: make_regs_eqv's head rule (cse.c:840-857), set_preference
stripping one RTX level so an arithmetic set inherits its operand's register (global.c:1535), and combine_regs with
birthing_insn_p's reg_n_sets == 1 (local-alloc.c:1765-1788, sched.c:2469) — which is why the merge must be with the
else arm's non-call-crossing temp. 26,714 -> 26,462 sites.
- a14 reaches score 0 on func_80139BE0 but only by an INVENTED identically-zero term whose sole purpose is to keep a
value live. NOT BANKED: an invented no-op expression is a compiler-forcing construct in C clothing, and worse than the
marked launder it replaces because the launder is counted and this would be silent. The phase's own rule is ban the
silence, not the lever. Parked for the structs/types phase with its reading; the tree comment above it ('no pure-C
spelling survives that fold') is refuted.
- a6 corrects cookbook 455: cse1 (cse.c:7439-7502) rewrites the producer's destination to the copy's whenever the
producer is the immediately preceding insn; combine only finishes the job once that adjacency is broken. It enumerated
the three lever-free blockers can_combine_p admits and showed the body can pay for none, then scanned all 4,284 built
objects for the shape — 101 hits, every lever-free precedent paying with a genuine second use, a narrow local with two
consumers, or a join label.
- a24's residual was one absent load: cse forwards a just-stored halfword so no lh is emitted, and seven branch
displacement mismatches were downstream of it. Its method gap is the instrument to fix next — three agents have now
asked for local-alloc's quantity table in the pack, and alloc_table.py prints an empty or one-row table because it
keys on dump lines that are often absent.
- Drew's struct question answered on the record: structs are not in the binary (types are erased; no metadata in a
retail build), what is there is base + offset + width + stride, so a struct is an inference across every function
touching a base — which makes per-function struct invention the wrong unit and is the failure P35 already recorded.
Recommendation: keep pins as the main lane, build a zero-token struct evidence census beside it, park stuck pins with
their evidence, and fix call signatures first because they are the bigger and cheaper blocker (471 narrow call sites
in 323 pinned bodies). Measured: 372,224 raw cast dereferences against 92,624 struct member accesses.
- decomp-architect/corpus/record/: the how-to (13), decision-log, accelerators, retrospective, story, wave-playbook, effort-map,
gen3-standards, gen3-handoff, DIGEST and every PhaseEnd (34) verbatim behind an authored front page (what each is, how to
read it, what is NOT there — the phase logs, R19 — and that the mining pass is their distillation); tool_census: RECORD_SOURCES
+ record_dest + the third corpus in plan/write/check (358 copies + 28 pointers, --check OK); kit_lint exempts corpus/record;
SETUP Step 6 gains 2c docs/inherited-record.md (+ the verify line; expected-manifest +1); ops-setup/README/tree/methodology/
wiki page/Home/Tools page/README bullet/SETUP row: "two dictionaries" → three
- tools/kit_coverage.py (+ config/kit_coverage_map.tsv): derives R1..R83 from DIGEST §3 (asserted contiguous) and the 58
accelerator entries (headings + numbered items), asserts each is cited by a provenance line of the registry seed / the
kernels or dispositioned (G / DK / FOLDED:G / ENV / PA / SEED: / KIT: / RECORD / COOKBOOK / NOT-PORTABLE; unknown ids
refused); first run: 26 uncited rules + 21 uncited entries → DK-66 (a ledger's tie-break, a checker's widening and a blanket
commit are part of the instrument — R70/R80/R52), DK-67 (the ignore file's directory-form wall — S91 (1)), DK-68 (a
summarised signal is a claim, not ground truth — R14/R66) in a new kernels section 8 (the museum is 9; "In all" 68) + 41
dispositions (15 PA, 3 ENV, folds into G6/G18/G38/G66/DK-12/19/20/22/25/26/31/35/44/45/46/57/61, 1 KIT template, 1 COOKBOOK);
now 0 UNCOVERED on both populations; wired into tools-health after tool_census --check; SETUP row + dictionary row
- verify: tool_census --check OK; kit_coverage OK (rules 57 cited + 26 dispositioned / 83; accelerators 41 + 15 / 58);
kit_lint OK; doc_links --strict OK; wiki_render --selftest 32 pages / 0 unlisted
- kit: DK-65 "types are a banking lever and a width lever, not a byte lever" (kernel, when, cost, calibration fence, provenance;
the kernels file now states its own total "In all: DK-1 … DK-65" and SETUP Step 6 compares grep -c against it instead of a typed
64); intake row 6's milestone gains the canonical type layer (one definition per shape, widths proven by the bytes at bank time,
a bank refused for a duplicate definition or a raw address cast) + the type tools moved forward + G62/DK-65 in its columns; row 10
reads "short if Part C and Phase 6's type layer held"; G62 extended with the bank-time clause (G1–G67 kept); tool_dictionary:
lift_types + canon_sig_reconcile P10 → P6 and the five type tools' need-keys name the type layer at Phase 6 (the phase column is
one token — the corpus dir derives from it); the cookbook front page's type-verdict sentence (a NAME never moves a byte, a WIDTH
or SIGNEDNESS is the one place a type does, the permuter cannot reach it); the methodology's "Types — the two-sided verdict"
paragraph; the kit README's table + tree now name the two dictionaries and layout-contract.md; make kit-corpus regenerated the
tool index, the MANIFEST and the corpora (302 copies + 28 pointers)
- wiki: docs/wiki/Start-a-new-decomp-project.md — the three steps, what it installs / does not (the two dictionaries), the ladder
(11 rows), the five AI-use rules, the six inversions (raw casts → declared symbols; DK-65), the compiler question, the accelerators
one line each (58 rows), the four dry-runs, how it is kept honest; sidebar + Home rows; Tools-from-this-project rows for the kit
and the tool index; README bullets for both; SETUP row for decomp-architect/ (R21); Where-the-project-goes-next links the page and
records the probe PASS (2026-09-07); phase34-seed: task 0 PASSED, the kit carried whole through the flip and split later
- verify: wiki_render --selftest 12/12 + reachability 32 pages / 0 unlisted; doc_links --strict 58 documents / 451 links / 0 pending /
