Make the repo approachable for outside contributors and an IDE integrator:
- New contributor docs:
- docs/EXECUTION_MODEL.md — semi-technical tour of the static / native-overlay
/ interpreter execution model and how coverage gaps get plugged.
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — component-level view (recompiler, runtime, LLE+HLE
BIOS, overlay backend static->gcc->tcc, renderers, oracle model).
- docs/BUILDING.md — accurate dependency table, per-platform prereqs, build
steps, and the submodule + local-junction framework-linking setup.
- CONTRIBUTING.md — distilled core rules, verification expectations, PR flow.
- Declutter root: move ~14 internal dev-logs into docs/internal/ (history
preserved via rename) with an index README; repoint CLAUDE.md references.
- README: correct build recipe, LLE+HLE + overlay-backend summary, links to the
new docs.
- code_provider.c: update the stale backend comment to the real static->gcc->tcc
resolution (dead SLJIT.md reference removed).
- config_schema.md: drop the obsolete "once Phase A2/A3 ships --config" note.

Replace absolute F:/C: paths with repo-relative (../TombaRecomp, bios/, beetle-psx/)
or placeholders (<desktop>/<psxref>/<nesrecomp>/<psxrecomp-v4>) across accuracy docs,
WIDESCREEN/SHADOW/RECURSION_BUG/config_schema/ISSUES/README, and tools/*.py|.ps1.
Removed a personal C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop path (ISSUES.md). Left CLAUDE.md/PLAN.md
sibling-project + version-history paths intact (intentional layout documentation).
Uncommitted framework work on codex/ape-escape-support reaching the
post-boot DualShock-required screen. Recompiler codegen (code_generator,
full_function_emitter, function_analysis, config_loader) + runtime
(cdrom, sio, dirty_ram_interp, dma, iso_reader, mdec, gpu, memory,
traps, debug_server, fntrace, freeze_heartbeat, psx_cycles) and headers.
Committed as a restore point before rebuilding Tomba against this
framework. Build dirs (recompiler/build-codex*) intentionally excluded.

- Config loader (recompiler/src/config_loader.{h,cpp}): single source of
truth for both BIOS and game runtime settings (debug_port, window_title,
memcard_dir, disc path). psxrecomp-bios and psxrecomp-game both accept
--config <toml>; runtime takes --game <toml> (no more CLI overrides).
- runtime/src/main.cpp: replaced --disc/--memcard-dir/--game-root CLI
overrides with --game <toml>; game.toml is the single source of truth.
Discless launch (no args) goes to BIOS shell.
- runtime/src/dma.c: fixed update_master_irq() re-asserting I_STAT bit 3
on every DICR read. BIOS shell DMA handler at 0x80058628 only clears
DICR bit 27 (ch3 flag), so level-sensitive re-assert pinned the kernel
in the exception loop. Bit 3 is now edge-triggered (one assert per DMA
completion). Discless boot now reaches MAIN MENU / MEMORY CARD / CD
PLAYER. With-disc Tomba boots through to Whoopee Camp splash.
- Audit tooling: codegen_audit.py (BIOS), codegen_audit_game.py (game),
audit_config.py (config loader for tools), verify_audit_schema.py.
Replaces older tools/_codegen_audit.py probe.
- Docs: CURRENT_STATE.md (project state), UNIFICATION_PLAN.md (Phase C
translator merge plan), docs/config_schema.md (TOML schema reference),
docs/audit_inventory.md (audit tier inventory).
- .gitignore: tools/_*.py convention for ad-hoc scratch probes.
