recomp-net, retcomm-rbengine (now rbengine), retcomm-toolchains (now
RetroPorting-Toolchains), the catalog and the launcher moved from
TechnicallyComputers to the RetroPortingToolKit org. GitHub still
redirects the old repo URLs, so nothing is broken today — but this repo
is what every port inherits its .gitmodules from, so the old owner
propagates into each new clone until it is fixed here.
.gitmodules now names the new URLs. The toolchain repo is updated in the
CI action default, the codegen host, fetch_toolchain.sh, toolchain_pack
and package_setup_host, and the scaffolder's recomp-net / rbengine
defaults follow.
Two things the mechanical sweep would have missed:
- render_launcher_block() held a second copy of the launcher slug split
across two string literals, so a search for the full slug did not see
it and every regenerated README kept the dead owner. It is now derived
from LAUNCHER_REPO, which is the only place the slug lives.
- readme_has_launcher() matched one exact slug. Pointed at the new one
alone it would report every port built before the transfer as missing
its launcher section, and append a second copy to any README carrying
neither the markers nor a "## RetComM Launcher" heading. It now
accepts both.
The scaffolder's default GitHub owner for new ports becomes
RetroPortingToolKit. Existing ports are unaffected — they carry their
own owner in the README and remote.
psxrecomp, snesrecomp and recomp-ui did not move and still point at
mstan. Submodule paths (lib/recomp-net, lib/retcomm-rbengine) are
unchanged: they are pinned by every port and are not repo slugs.

Wire lib/retcomm-rbengine beside recomp-net and replace MotK in-tree sched,
hash_confirm, input hist, snap ring, and rb_post with thin PSX shims so the
ecosystem can share invent/pacing policy outside each title facade.

Discover recomp-ui from CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR/recomp-ui (or RECOMP_UI_ROOT).
Keep lib/recomp-net in the engine.

Remove the in-tree launcher implementation and its submodules now that game projects use recomp-ui for launcher support.
Keep Vulkan hidden from the launcher unless a game explicitly sets [video] offer_vulkan = true, and clamp stale Vulkan settings back to OpenGL when it is not offered.

lib/RmlUi @ tag 6.0 (mikke89/RmlUi, stock — verified not a fork).
lib/freetype @ tag VER-2-13-3. Both built statically into the runtime;
pinned to the exact tags that were build- and pixel-verified.

The DuckStation oracle (mstan/duckstation@psxrecomp on GitHub) is
maintained separately for psxrecomp-v4 debugging. It is not a
build dependency of psxrecomp-v4, the runtime, or the recompiler.
Clone the fork manually if you need an oracle.
Removes the (stale) submodule entry that briefly pointed at upstream
DuckStation, deletes the empty .gitmodules, and adds /duckstation/
to .gitignore so a local clone in that location is invisible to the
project.

Recovery + restructure after rm -rf destroyed duckstation/build/ earlier this
session. Adopts the nesrecomp pattern (see F:/Projects/nesrecomp): pristine
upstream as submodule, our changes as a patch file that gets auto-applied by a
setup script.
Submodule:
- duckstation/ now pins stenzek/duckstation@ffb33c281 (release-20260328 era)
- .gitmodules records the pin; .gitignore stops ignoring the submodule path but
still ignores build/ and dep/prebuilt/ (the submodule's own .gitignore also
handles these)
Patch + setup:
- tools/duckstation/psxrecomp_oracle.patch (1187 lines, 7 files) captures our
TCP debug-server on port 4371 plus the unfinished pc_break family of commands
(with the VirtualMemoryAddress compile fix)
- tools/duckstation/setup.sh clones submodule, fetches + verifies + extracts
prebuilt Windows deps, rewrites stale absolute paths baked into the prebuilt
CMake metadata, applies the oracle patch. Idempotent.
- tools/duckstation/build.sh configures CMake (VS 17 2022) + runs MSBuild, then
provisions bin/ with portable marker, BIOS copy, and settings.ini post-fixes
- tools/duckstation/README.md documents the layout, the regeneration flow, and
the known headless-boot configuration issue
TCP documentation (salvaged from v3):
- TCP_COMMANDS.md: full command table with native (4370) / duckstation (4371)
/ both columns, reflecting actual v4 implementation including wtrace_* and
pc_break/pc_hit_last families
- tools/debug_client.py: unified CLI from v3 (ports 4370/4371 match v4)
- DEBUG.md: merged v3's END-TO-END COMPLETION RULE, Stale Hypothesis Rule,
TOOLING RULE, and TOOL LIFECYCLE RULE sections into v4's existing loop
Phase 4 diagnostic artefacts from this session:
- generated/relocation_proofs/vblank_registrar/ — corrected VBlank-stall
diagnosis. Prior handoff claimed the shell VBlank handler was never installed;
live TCP inspection of both runtime and DuckStation oracle proved handler IS
installed at 0x800DFEE0. Real gap is one level up in the kernel IRQ chain at
*(0xA000E014).
- tools/duck_query*.py, duck_search.py, disasm_ram.py, scan_*.py — focused
probes used to establish the above; reusable against either server
CLAUDE.md §2 and new §15 document the submodule-based oracle setup and the
"never edit submodule, regenerate patch instead" rule.
Known issues (tracked in tools/duckstation/README.md):
- Fresh settings.ini doesn't complete BIOS boot under -nogui; one-time launch
with GUI is required to warm up the settings before headless mode works
