Drew T b8e7250c78 feat(phase-29): tools/symcheck.py — the pre-gate symbol-set guard (§67a)
Builds the guard SESSION-17 left as a TODO after the func_801463A0 `_s`-alias trap, where a draft
invented extern aliases no symbol table defines, read MATCH under rtu_match, and could never bank.

- diffs the symbols a draft's object references (reloc records) against the target .s's
  %hi/%lo/jal set; reports MISSING (invented-alias signature) and INVENTED separately.
- fills a real hole: match_one/masked_diff compare relocation-MASKED words (object-vs-.s is
  symbol-agnostic BY CONSTRUCTION) and rtu_match COMPILES WITHOUT LINKING -- so both are
  structurally blind to this class. R34: a second oracle that can disagree with the first.
- NEGATIVE-CONTROL PROVEN: with one data extern renamed to an invented alias, match_one reports
  the SAME 14 mismatched as the correct draft; symcheck exits 1 naming both symbols.
- --c compiles via match_one so the pinned triple/flags can never drift (R33); or --obj.
- applied to the live func_8014D820 close=14 draft: 12/12 symbols agree, so a match there will
  link cleanly -- the §65c class is ruled out for it in advance.
- cookbook §67a + SETUP tooling-inventory row (R21). Necessary condition, NOT a match oracle:
  still finish on the whole-binary byte-gate (G3/P9).

"""symcheck.py — the pre-gate SYMBOL-SET guard (BFM Phase 29 SESSION-18).
Diff the set of symbols a draft's object REFERENCES against the set the target `.s` references
(`%hi`/`%lo`/`jal`). A mismatch is a link-level defect that every masked-diff oracle we own is
STRUCTURALLY BLIND TO:
* `tools/match_one.py` / `tools/masked_diff.py` compare relocation-MASKED words, so a reloc against
the wrong symbol scores as a match at that position (object-vs-.s mode is symbol-agnostic by
construction — see masked_diff's docstring).
* `tools/rtu_match.py` COMPILES but never LINKS, so an extern that no symbol table can resolve is
invisible to it *by construction*, not merely masked.
That combination produced the SESSION-17 `func_801463A0` trap: the draft invented `_s`-suffixed alias
externs (`D_80126BE0_s`) that no symbol table defines, read MATCH under rtu_match, and could never
bank. The whole-binary byte-gate caught it (G3/P9, as always) — but only after a full gate cycle, and
the *cause* took a symbol-set comparison to find. This makes that comparison a one-command check you
run BEFORE paying for a gate.
Two failure directions, both reported:
MISSING — in the target, absent from the draft: a dropped reference, or a symbol renamed/aliased
into something that resolves elsewhere. This is the invented-alias signature.
INVENTED — in the draft, absent from the target: a symbol the original function never touched.
Exit 0 iff the sets are equal. Not a match oracle and not a substitute for the byte-gate — a cheap
necessary condition (R34: a second oracle that can DISAGREE with the masked ones).
