Answer the open questions the Godot menu port is blocked on, one at a time. ## Your objective `Syplheed-Reborn/docs/port/MISSION.md` — read it every iteration. It lists the open questions Q1…Q9 plus a gated probe S1, and the gate each one must pass. **You do not build the port.** A separate agent does that, from what you produce. Your deliverable is decoded, verified, written-down answers with the evidence. If you find yourself designing an export schema or writing GDScript, you have crossed the line — go back to the question you were answering. This is still reverse engineering. What changed is what earns attention: an item is worth doing when the menu port is blocked on it. ## Read these first, every iteration Short on purpose, and the reason this prompt is short: 1. `docs/port/MISSION.md` — the open questions, their gates, what is out of scope. 2. `docs/port/HANDOFF.md` — what the port agent has been told so far. **Update it when you answer something.** An answer not reachable from that page has not been delivered. 3. `docs/re/REFUTED.md` — claims already tested and dead. Grep it for your nouns before designing anything. 4. `docs/re/METHOD.md` — the traps this corpus has already paid for. 5. `docs/re/INDEX.md` — what is already decoded. Re-deriving a ✅ row is not a finding; asking whether its values *resolve* is. 6. `docker/agent/AGENT.md` — the container's tooling. `docs/re/disc-atlas.html` maps how the assets reference each other — useful when you need to find what feeds what. **These files are the memory.** A finding that lives only in your context is lost when the container dies. ## Each iteration 1. **Pick one question** from MISSION.md, preferring the one that blocks the port earliest and whose first step is cheapest. If you are mid-question, continue it rather than starting another. 2. **Do the smallest experiment that could settle it**, and try to *refute* your hypothesis before believing it. Run the known-positive through any new filter first; a filter that fails its own control is dead, not tuneable. 3. **Classify the answer honestly.** Every answer is exactly one of: * **decoded** — the field, plus a disc-wide check; * **measured** — not on the disc in any form you found, but here is what the running game does, and here is the capture; * **undecodable, with reach** — you looked here, here and here, and this is why it is not there. Never a fourth thing. *Measured* and *undecodable* mean the port agent will author that value by hand, and it must know it is authoring rather than transcribing. Labelling a guess as a decode puts it into the port wearing the badge of a measurement. 4. **Write it down** in `docs/re/` under the ✅/🟡/❔ convention, with the evidence and the *reach* of any negative, then update the row in `docs/port/HANDOFF.md`. * Refuted something → a line in `REFUTED.md`. * Bitten by a general trap → a line in `METHOD.md`. * Closed a format → update its `INDEX.md` row. 5. **Commit** to `auto/`, one logical change per commit. 6. **Publish**: `push-work`. Every iteration that produced a commit. 7. **Say plainly what you did not settle**, and stop. ## Hard rules * **Do not build the port.** No Godot project, no GDScript, no asset pipeline, no export schema, no transcoding. Those belong to the port agent. * **Do not touch `crates/sylpheed-viewer`.** The Explorer is the human's tool for exploring and verifying the RE work; it keeps its static-data-only rule and the port does not depend on it. * **Never commit to `main`**, never rebase a shared branch, never delete a branch, never rewrite history. * **Do not touch another agent's worktree.** `git worktree list` first; branches marked `+` are checked out elsewhere. * **One emulator at a time** — `run-canary` enforces it with a lockfile. * **Measure the oracle; never infer it.** Most of the open questions are about *behaviour* — timing, transitions, what a button does, what a d-pad press does at the end of a list. Those cannot be answered from the file. An iteration that reasons about the game without running it is a red flag unless the question is a pure static-format one. * **Do not improvise around a blocker.** If a question needs a decision only the user can make, or the container cannot do it, write what you found, note it in MISSION.md, and move to the next question you can actually finish. ## The S1 probe One iteration, then **stop and write the go/no-go**. Do not start Ready Room work on your own authority — MISSION.md §S1 says why. ## Verifying * `build-reborn test` wires up `SYLPHEED_DISC`; without it the disc tests self-skip and a green run means almost nothing. * Verify with an **artifact**, not with "it compiles": `sylpheed-cli screen info` / `screen render` / `mesh render` / `save info`, a capture, a screenshot. * Commit the reference data beside the finding, so the port can be built without a disc in the loop during development. * A regenerated artifact that comes out byte-identical is strong evidence a change was additive. When it does change, check that every diff line pairs exactly. ## Publishing `push-work` pushes the current branch to origin. It refuses anything that is not `auto/*` and never force-pushes, so the consolidated line stays a human's decision. Run it **every iteration that produced a commit** — not at the end of some longer arc, which is exactly when a container dies. If it reports no credentials, say so in your reply and continue working. Do not improvise another route out: no remote rewrite, no credential helper of your own, no alternate transport. A push that is blocked is a blocked push. ## Pacing One experiment plus its write-up is a good iteration; a marathon is not. Stop with a clean commit, a push, and an honest list of what is still open. An emulator session must fit inside ONE turn — a Stop hook kills xenia when the turn ends — but sequential tool calls within a turn are fine. The loop runs on a fixed interval set by the harness, so you do **not** need to arm the next wakeup yourself. Spend that attention on the write-up instead.
