Nothing here changes what a tool computes; it changes where tools look.
- tools/re-capture: 33 censuses globbed /work/sylph_extract, a path that has
existed nowhere since /work became a clone, so they matched nothing and
printed empty results. They now resolve the disc through a new disc.py
from $SYLPHEED_DISC and exit loudly without it (the #44 fix, generalised).
Nine scripts that imported siblings from the retired Reborn checkout or an
old session scratchpad now import from their own directory. unitgroup.py
only needs the variable when --pak is not given.
- sylpheed-xex: the loader only ever uses the XEX2 retail key. The dead
devkit key and a doc comment claiming a devkit fallback that does not
exist are gone; Project Sylpheed is a retail XEX2, so no XEX1 key either.
- sylpheed-viewer: real_font_rasterizes looked for /tmp/sylph_extract and so
always skipped. It reads $SYLPHEED_DISC now, and passes against the disc.
- Comments and docs that named xenia-rs, the Reborn repository or /work/*.pe
as places to look now name sylpheed.db, Canary's ppc_context.h and the
flat .pe; docs/re/README.md no longer says the native Canary build does not
run.
Historical records keep their original paths: findings that were measured
against /work/xenia-rs/sylpheed.db still say so.

Instructions and generated text that still sent readers to `xenia-rs`, which is
archived and deleted locally. Provenance and dated research records are left as
they are — "lifted from xenia-rs", or a finding stating what database it was
measured against, is still true, and rewriting it would falsify the record.
Changed, because each one tells someone what to do today or writes stale text:
docs/re/README.md the RE toolchain guide queried `xenia-rs/sylpheed.db`
with `xenia-rs/zq.py`, and its "Dynamic" bullet said
to prefer xenia-rs's probe suite OVER Canary. Now:
`sylpheed.db` at the repo root (how to build it and
re-stamp names), `tools/zq.py`, dynamic = Canary, and
`.rdata` reads from the `.pe` (offset = VA - 0x82000000)
in place of `--dump-addr`.
challenge-mission-gate.md, structures/achievements.md
reproduction commands `python3 xenia-rs/zq.py dis …`
crates/sylpheed-xexdb/SCHEMA.md
titled after the retired `xenia-analysis` crate,
citing `xenia-rs dis`, pointing at a `xenia-analysis`
source path
sylpheed-xexdb/src/formatter.rs
WROTE "generated by xenia-rs" into every disassembly
it produced (no test pins the banner)
sylph-xexdb.rs, db.rs "SQLite" / "DuckDB writer for xenia-rs"
sylpheed-formats/src/hash.rs
pointed at `xenia-rs/RE_SYMBOLS.md`, now at
`docs/re/RE_SYMBOLS.md`
Verified: every rewritten reproduction command was extracted from the doc and
run as written against the regenerated database — all 5 exit 0 and return the
disassembly they describe. The README's function count (25 676) is the database's
own. `cargo fmt --all -- --check` clean.
Not changed, deliberately: the README's Oracle bullet says Canary's native Linux
ELF "crashes / does not run". That is about Canary, not xenia-rs, and it conflicts
with a July note that the native build works — unverified either way here.

An audit of BACKLOG.md turned up a class of error with a single root cause: the
README defines only the CONFIRMED/PROBABLE/HYPOTHESIS confidence scale, while
the pages actually use a second vocabulary -- and 🔴 appears 98 times without
ever being defined. It gets used for two different things, "refuted" and
"blocked", and three entries slid from one into the other.
README now defines ✅/🟡/❔/🔴/❌/🚧 and states the rule the corpus was missing:
🔴 never means "we have not run it yet". That is ❔ or 🚧. Its blocked sense is
only for a real limit of the box -- no push credentials, no hardware Vulkan, a
decision only the user can make -- and since the box can run the emulator,
script input, screenshot and read guest memory, "needs a run" is never blocked.
I made exactly this mistake on the world-unit item earlier today, which is what
prompted looking for others.
Fixed in BACKLOG.md:
* the elimination test, marked 🔴 UNRUN and in fact run and refuted nine
lines further down;
* the frozen capture, marked 🔴 STILL UNRUN and in fact taken eleven lines
down -- 🔴 wrong twice, since "the freeze did not happen this run" is a
scheduling outcome and not a refutation;
* a 🚧 STILL UNRUN item whose stated blocker (the boot-nav bug) is fixed;
* the objective-counter heading, which asserts 0xbdb59668 as the answer while
its own first body line refutes that address -- retitled to say what is
actually solved, the method;
* the paint-order "third measured permutation" question, answered inside its
own entry by a third, fourth and fifth screen;
* the UTF-16 endianness question -- resolved, and it is not a stale comment:
localization.rs both documents LE and decodes with u16::from_le_bytes, so
it is a code bug worth filing.
Also fixes the corpus's only dangling link (INDEX.md pointed at
structures/idxd-unnamed-keys.md, never written).
Establish docs/re/ as the spec-side of the clean-room:
- README: confidence tiers (HYPOTHESIS/PROBABLE/CONFIRMED), promotion
requires NEW independent evidence, append-only evidence logs,
demote-on-contradiction, and a clean-room firewall (describe behaviour +
cite addresses; never paste decompiled code). Documents the toolchain
(sylpheed.db + zq.py, xenia-rs probes, Wine-Canary oracle) and the
join-by-guest-PC method with the VA-equality caveat.
- Function/structure templates + a seeded INDEX (9 already-reversed formats).
- First entry: texture-color-k8888 — CONFIRMED plain k_8_8_8_8 is linear
UNORM (no sRGB), channel order still to be measured.
