docs(ppc-manual): quote Canary and our own decoder, not the retired xenia-rs
The generator had not been able to run correctly since the manual moved into
`tools/ppc-manual/`: it computed the repository root as `HERE.parent.parent`,
which now names `tools/`, so the XML, Canary's emitters and xenia-rs all stopped
resolving — silently, because both scrapers skipped what they could not find.
Every page's references had been pointing at paths that exist nowhere.
What each source contributed, measured on the 350 pages before this change:
Operation (pseudocode) 251 pages: fixed boilerplate "derives from the xenia-rs
interpreter"; 99 carry real hand-written seeds
C translation 337 pages: the same kind of boilerplate
xenia-rs snapshot 336 pages: the interpreter arm, pasted in — the only
per-instruction semantics on unseeded pages
links xenia-rs opcode/decoder/interpreter + Canary emitter
Now:
* semantics come from **Xenia Canary**, the reference emulator, read through
`git show` at a pinned upstream commit (`origin/canary_experimental`,
f21ebd49e9). Not our checkout: it carries instrumentation and lacked
upstream's `mcrf` fix, so it would have published probes and a wrong `mcrf`.
Each page embeds the emitter (`InstrEmit_<mnem>`), and for the 128 pure
one-line delegations also the helper that holds the semantics.
* decode references point at `crates/sylpheed-ppc` — the decoder that
produces `sylpheed.db` — as in-repo relative links.
* the boilerplate now says what is true, and the C translation guide maps
Canary's actual HIR calls, checked against `ppc_hir_builder.h` (including
that `UpdateCR(n, v)` truncates to 32 bits).
* `rust_scraper.py` -> `decoder_scraper.py` (interpreter half dropped);
missing sources are now errors, not empty results.
Verified:
consistency checks 455 XML entries, 350 families, 598 index keys
hand-written tails 386/386 byte-identical after regeneration
xenia-rs in generated 0
pages with a snapshot 349/350 (was 336) — `dcbi` has no Canary emitter at all
in-repo decoder links 910/910 resolve to a line holding the identifier
emitter boundaries brace counter == column-0 `}` rule on 521/521;
preprocessor model unit-tested (#if 0/#else/#elif)
idempotency re-run: 0 pages updated, 0 working-tree changes
Hand-written notes (outside the generated regions) are not rewritten here:
* 110 links into `../../xenia-rs/...` were dead; they now point at the file in
the archived repository (git.mc02.dev/fabi/xenia-rs @ 8401d4d). Line anchors
were dropped because the notes predate that commit — 0 of 441 old line
ranges match it — and a precise-looking wrong anchor is worse than none. The
link text, which carries the author's line numbers, is unchanged.
* 140 prose claims about xenia-rs's behaviour remain. 23 are verified to hold
for Canary too (the 32-bit CR0 truncation, OE left unimplemented); the other
114 need checking one by one, and some invert — e.g. `divdx` notes a correct
64-bit CR0 update in xenia-rs where Canary's `UpdateCR` truncates. Left for
a deliberate pass rather than a blind substitution.

chore(tools): adopt the PPC manual and a canary launcher that works anywhere
CONSOLIDATION.md Phase 6. Both lived untracked in the project root -- on one
disk, backed up by nothing.
tools/ppc-manual/ 393 files, 3.7 MB. 455 instructions, 350 family pages,
598 mnemonics resolvable through index.json, plus the
generator that produced them.
tools/run-canary.sh the oracle launcher.
🔴 THE LAUNCHER WAS BROKEN IN TWO WAYS AND IS REWRITTEN, not copied:
* it pointed at `xenia-rs/sylpheed.iso`, a SYMLINK. Wine cannot resolve one
and says "path invalid", which reads as a corrupt image rather than a path
problem -- it has cost a session before. It now points at the real file and
warns if handed a symlink.
* it hardcoded one machine's absolute paths, and named `xenia-rs`, which this
consolidation retires. Now derived from the script's own location, with
SYLPH_CANARY_BIN / SYLPH_ISO overrides and a check that each exists.
The standing constraints are in its header where someone will read them: one
emulator at a time, Canary runs MUTED, and never judge a crash or a hang from
a Bash-launched run -- a SIGKILL that looked like the binary was the editor's
process supervisor.
⚠️ The manual's GENERATOR reads the xenia-rs source tree, which is going away.
Its decoder now lives here as crates/sylpheed-ppc, so the generator must be
repointed before it is run again. Recorded in the README rather than left for
someone to discover; the manual's content is checked in and regenerates from
nothing implicitly.
