tetrisgm 2641f7c59b overlay/perf/pgxp: fix silent overlay-DLL breakage, variant-scoped captures, PGXP shared edges
Framework fixes surfaced while bringing up a title that stresses overlays, HD
texture replacement and PGXP at a doubled CRTC rate. All are general; the
title's own configuration stays in its game repository.

CORRECTNESS

* Overlay DLL shim was deleted by the preprocessor. compile_overlays.py injected
  overlay_dispatch_preamble.c.inc after the syntactically LAST #include. A
  conditional i-cache include moved that anchor inside an #else, and DLL builds
  define PSX_OVERLAY_DLL_BUILD, so the callback definitions preprocessed away and
  every overlay DLL failed to link. Any title using overlays would silently fall
  back to per-instruction interpretation. The shim is now anchored to the
  unconditional #include "psx_runtime.h" and raises if that anchor is absent.

* Overlay capture kept stale PC bitmaps when executed code later became data, so
  one variant's PC set could be compiled against another variant's bytes.
  overlay_watch_note_write now retires the whole page's execution/dispatch epoch
  when any executed word is overwritten; static demand is keyed by
  (load_addr, size, bytes) and resolved only against matching range identities.

* VRAM-to-VRAM copies only invalidated the destination and never registered it as
  a replacement candidate, so textures arriving by copy could not be dumped or
  replaced at all. gr_copy_rect now calls tex_pack_on_copy with the same
  (texture,palette) key semantics as CPU uploads.

* PGXP shared-edge seams: a per-primitive all-or-nothing gate cannot stop two
  adjacent primitives disagreeing about a shared endpoint, so the edge is
  submitted at two sub-pixel positions. Adds a frame-stamped canonical endpoint
  cache keyed by final integer screen position: the first use fixes the
  coordinates and every later occurrence reuses them.

* PGXP provenance: PGXPValue carries per-component X/Y/Z projection ids, so a
  value assembled from different projections can no longer arm correction.
  Destructive AND/XOR/NOR/SLT, link and COP0 writes now invalidate shadows, and
  the SXYP shadow FIFO shifts with guest SXY.

* Precise NCLIP no longer replaces guest MAC0. It is telemetry only, so face
  visibility stays bit-exact with the integer GTE.

* Removed two counters that were reported as correctness evidence but were never
  incremented anywhere.

PERFORMANCE

* PSX_ENABLE_LTO plus a noinline guard on the shared cycle wrappers. Unguarded
  ThinLTO clones hot interlock bodies and REGRESSES the hot path; guarded, it
  becomes a win. Adds runtime/tests/bench_psx_runtime_hotpath.c, which verifies
  variant equivalence by digest so codegen changes are measurable.

* Cycle accounting: emitters select specialized arity-0/1/2/3 helpers at
  generation time instead of a generic dependency-mask loop; main-RAM loads
  combine base/wait/completion into one exact charge. Exactness is covered by
  pipeline-state, load-state, deadline-crossing and cross-device causality tests.

* HD texture invalidation replaced a linear scan of up to 8192 upload records per
  VRAM write with a tile-refcount index; out-of-domain writes early-out.

* Translation/text-substitution dispatch is gated behind a monotonic mutation
  epoch instead of running a callback on every dispatch.

* card_data_writes_check no longer runs on every RAM write.

CAPABILITY

* fixed_outer_aspect: the outer presentation aspect becomes a function of user
  configuration only. Scene classification selects content transforms, never the
  outer viewport, so menus/FMV stay centred undistorted inside a wide canvas.

VERIFICATION AND LIMITS

docs/UPSTREAM_2026-08-20.md audits each change against the diff, marks
unsupported claims UNKNOWN, and lists a suggested PR split and review focus.
Unit and structural tests accompany each item, but this body of work has NOT
been validated end-to-end against a fixed reproducible workload -- reviewers
should treat the timing-exactness and PGXP changes as the highest-risk areas.
