- canonical-sig layer (session 4): tools/census_conflict_callees.py + derive_canonical_sigs.py
-> a 20-extern byte-neutral block atop ov_SC01_077.c (LOCAL, not engine_core.h); census
conflict callees 20->0, blocked targets 24->0; gate pipeline now draft -> sig_unify (MANDATORY)
-> harvest_verify --chunk 1; fleet 136/136 byte-identical (R22), 55.51% (no regression)
- FINDING (R14/P9): the conflict wall is 7%-reach not ~2x; the 4 reach-134 circular targets are
ALL gcc-quirk/regalloc/layout-bound (0 banked); the high-reach core IS the quirk tail; struct
types are byte-neutral for matching (the wall is gcc codegen, not knowledge)
- leverage analysis: fleet % is function-count-weighted (size adds no %); "unblock many" = the
layer (declaration, not matching); reach is the lever (already reach-sorted); 247 tractable
reach-134 stubs ~ +3-4% projected
- GO/NO-GO: NO-GO on brute waves at the current ceiling; GO on a compiler-quirk research phase
(read gcc-2.7.2 source + Xenogears + the §10/regalloc classes, R17) -> then resume the wave
- docs: cookbook §16 corrected + hand-matching-process.md §8 (the layer + the finding + handoff)
- worklog archived -> phase-ends/logs/Phase17.md (R19); bumps 1.15.0 -> 1.16.0
- PhaseEnd_Phase16.md: the loose-typing wall (byte-proven), the kept harness fixes, the unattended
driver (built/not-deployed), and the new research directions (emulator -> Ghidra type propagation).
- CURRENT_PHASE.md archived -> logs/Phase16.md (R19).
- Negative-but-decisive result (Phase-3.5 precedent); bumps 1.14.0 -> 1.15.0.
- PhaseEnd_Phase10.md: resident engine blob byte-identical from source (8e17e02f) at 100%
INCLUDE_ASM; the binary-agnostic toolchain proven on a real 2nd binary; main still 143dbb89
- docs/SETUP.md §6.7: the resident first-instantiation + the reusable flat-blob <bin> recipe
(per-binary OBJS prune, build_path=build, flat config, leading-data-word-as-rodata); 2 new
Ghidra tools in the inventory (R21)
- rule R24 (per-binary compiler/SDK provenance — resident is PsyQ 4.7 vs EXE 4.0)
- worklog archived CURRENT_PHASE.md -> phase-ends/logs/Phase10.md (R19)
- bumps project version 1.9.0 -> 1.10.0
- PhaseEnd_Phase9.md written; CURRENT_PHASE.md archived -> phase-ends/logs/Phase9.md (R19)
- MILESTONE (gate-2 confirmed): the toolchain is binary-agnostic — EXE rebuilds
143dbb89 through the parameterized path WITH and WITHOUT SDK objects; make report
52/959/7/50.24%; every binary-specific value a required param (no EXE default);
wrong --vram-base -> cae22f7e (negative control). Landed as 11 per-tool checkpoints.
- R23: stop the Ghidra MCP + commit the DB at phase-end/RE-checkpoint (lock won't
release until MCP closes; SessionEnd is too late for a mid-session commit). This
commit reconciles the Ghidra program DB (db.12 -> db.15, 99% identical: Phase 9 did
zero RE writes) after a clean ghidra_mcp_stop.sh save.
- .gitignore: ignore /ghidra/**/*.lock~ (the lock-backup that churned every session)
- bumps project version 1.8.0 -> 1.9.0
