- Category pages linked each family as `<slug>.md`, relative to categories/, where no family page lives. They now link `../<category>/<slug>.md`. - Form pages linked a member into its *own* category directory, so every VMX128 sibling (`vsldoi128`) pointed at vmx128/ although its family page is under vmx/. They now link into the family's directory. - Hand-written "Related" and sibling mentions linked other categories' pages as if they were in the same directory. 109 are retargeted through the page index; 29 that pointed a family page at itself (`vrefp128` on vrefp.md) and 6 naming instructions the manual has no page for are plain text now. Regenerated at the existing Canary pin (f21ebd49e): upstream has moved on, and re-pinning belongs in its own change. The generator reports 0 family pages changed and is idempotent; the only dead links left are TEMPLATE.md's placeholders. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Operation (pseudocode)
; No hand-written pseudocode for this instruction yet.
; The authoritative semantics are the Canary emitter snapshot under
; Implementation References; about half of Canary's emitters open
; with the PPC-style definition as a comment (`RD <- (RA) + (RB)`).
; Every side effect is also enumerated in the Register Effects and
; Status-Register Effects tables above.
C Translation Example
/* No hand-written C yet. Translate the Canary emitter snapshot */
/* under Implementation References; its HIR maps directly: */
/* f.LoadGPR(n) / f.StoreGPR(n, v) -> r[n] / r[n] = v */
/* f.LoadFPR / StoreFPR, f.LoadVR / StoreVR -> f[n], v[n] */
/* f.Load(ea, T), f.Store(ea, v) -> raw read / write; emitters */
/* wrap them in f.ByteSwap for the big-endian guest value */
/* f.UpdateCR(n, v) -> CR field n from v's LOW 32 BITS vs 0 */
/* f.LoadCA / f.StoreCA -> xer.CA; f.StoreSAT -> vscr.SAT */
/* i.XO.RA, i.D.DS, ... -> the bit-fields listed under Operands */
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */

Special Cases & Edge Conditions
- Per-lane logical shift-left of words.
VD.w[i] = VA.w[i] << (VB.w[i] & 0x1F)fori ∈ 0..3. Low 5 bits of each shift-count word are honoured. - Per-lane shift counts. Splat with
vspltw/vspltiswfor uniform shifts. - Zero-fill right. Arithmetic right shift is
vsraw. - Big-endian word indexing.
- No flags, no VSCR.
- VMX128 sibling
vslw128.
