Matthew Stanley 28d5719ed7 docs: splash->attract is first-divergence (CD RULED OUT) + ~17k crash note
Investigated the splash softlock: the attract data loads CORRECTLY (consecutive CD-DMA
dests hold different valid MIPS code; read_msf reached LBA 374). The cd_read_log 'lba'
field misleadingly logs the SetLoc target (24) not the per-sector position — a tool bug
(Rule 15) that cost a wrong 'CD stuck at LBA 24' hypothesis. So the splash->attract
divergence is a true first-divergence in the scene-transition state machine ([0x1F8001A4]
stuck at 0), upstream of the common 0x80050CE8 loop both recomp and oracle reach. Next:
oracle PC-trace from the splash. Secondary: ~frame-17k silent crash (~8e9 dirty insns)
- possible host-stack growth from the frame-1997 fix's re-dispatch on nested RFEs; also
a regression-risk signal for the shared path.
