Shokunin 9011d47e07 docs: record rollout PR D (segment variants, exact call contract)
docs/SEGMENT_AWARE_CODE.md: §5.4 and §5.5 gain "Implemented in PR D"
(variant planning and compilation, the BIOS variants and BIOS segment
misses, the multi-row lookup, the five exact return checks, seeds outside
the physical segments); §3.3, §5.2 and §5.6 point at them; §5.2 and §5.4
say that the jump-table rule applies to every game and overlay compile, not
only to variants; the §7.1 ledger is at zero gaps with the new
exact-return-contract guard; §7.2 records the probe's compiled column after
D, the LLE boot after D (SCPH-1001 first hits at 0, shell entry -445), with
#435 on top (0 through the shell entry on both BIOSes) and after the review
fixes (every hit unchanged, no BIOS segment miss); §8 D and §9's IsC note
are updated.

FAITHFUL_TIMING_PLAN and ACCURACY_BURNDOWN get dated entries: the SCPH-1001
KSEG1 kernel entry and the masked call-contract checks are closed, and BIOS
alias entries without a variant are recorded.

Internal dev-logs & design notes

These are the working design documents and burn-down logs the project was built from. They are historical/working notes, not contributor onboarding docs — they capture decisions, phased plans, and deep subsystem investigations in the order they happened, and some sections are superseded by later ones.

If you're new here, start with the top-level README.md, then docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/EXECUTION_MODEL.md, docs/BUILDING.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md. Come here when you need the why behind a specific subsystem.

Renderer / widescreen

Project conventions & tracking

  • PRINCIPLES.md — this repo's debugging and enhancement principles (first-divergence, verified-enhancement HLE). Source comments cite it as docs/internal/PRINCIPLES.md; a "recomp-template PRINCIPLES.md" citation means a different repo's file.
  • ISSUES.md — the historical framework issue log. Live framework work is tracked in Beads (epic beads-eio.3), not here.
  • DEBUG.md — the debugging playbook behind the TCP debug server; the command reference itself is ../TCP_COMMANDS.md.
  • audit_inventory.md — what the codegen/GTE audit pipeline covers and why.

Overlay design & discovery

BIOS / boot hardening

GTE / CPU investigations

Upstream contributor reviews

upstream/ holds per-PR review notes for community contributions, one file per change, named <contributor>-<pr>-<topic>.md.

Overlay cache internals

  • SLJIT_PERSIST_CACHE.md — removed. It described the persisted shard cache of the sljit Tier-2 backend, which was deleted in 5b7e69b4 (2026-07-15). For the current model see runtime/src/overlay_loader.c (per-entry candidate validity), tools/compile_overlays.py (shard formation and the .ranges manifest), and ../COMPILING_OVERLAYS.md.
