sim f3c512f2ab docs(ppc-manual): check every xenia-rs claim against Canary's source
The hand-written parts of the manual still described how the retired
xenia-rs interpreter behaved: its snapshots, Rust casts and helpers. Each of
those 490 statements is now either restated as what Canary's emitters and
x64 backend actually do (at the pinned canary_experimental commit), or
dropped where it only made sense for xenia-rs.

Checking them turned up claims that were wrong, not just outdated:

- VSCR[SAT] is never modelled in Canary (DID_SATURATE is a stub and mfvscr
  cannot see it); the pages said saturating ops set it stickily.
- Canary does not implement lswi/lswx/stswi/stswx, dcbi, mtfsb0/mtfsb1,
  vmsum*, vmhaddshs, vupkhpx/vupklpx, and most SPRs; pages described them
  as working.
- Traps evaluate TO in Canary; stvebx/stvehx/stvewx store one element, not
  16 bytes; mtmsrd writes only EE; fres/frsqrte/vrsqrtefp precision claims
  and the stfs "rounds under RN / sets FPSCR" claim contradicted the spec.
- Reservations are a 64 KiB block bitmap plus a value compare, not
  per-address tracking.

Claims that neither Canary's source nor a public spec settles are marked
unverified (NI at boot, vmaddcfp128 operand order, estimate bit-exactness).

Generated regions are untouched; re-running the generator changes nothing.

- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
## Status-Register Effects
_No condition-register or status-register effects._
## 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
```c
/* 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
- **Bit-level granularity.** All eight CR-logical instructions operate on **single CR bits**, not whole 4-bit fields. `CRBD`, `CRBA`, `CRBB` are 5-bit absolute indices into the 32-bit CR register: `BI = 4·field + bit-within-field`, where bit 0 = LT, 1 = GT, 2 = EQ, 3 = SO.
- **Operation.** `CR[CRBD] ← CR[CRBA] AND CR[CRBB]`. All other CR bits are preserved.
- **Same-source / same-destination quirks.** Identical sources and destinations are legal: `crand 6, 6, 6` is a NOP-style "force CR bit 6 to itself"; `crand bt, bt, bt` reads-then-writes the same bit (no observable change). Compilers exploit `crxor BT,BT,BT` ("clear bit") and `creqv BT,BT,BT` ("set bit") for similar tricks — see those pages.
- **Combining branch conditions.** The classic use: synthesise complex branch conditions from multiple compare results. Example: `cmpw cr0, r3, r4; cmpw cr1, r5, r6; crand 4*cr0+2, 4*cr0+2, 4*cr1+2; beq cr0, label` branches if `r3==r4 AND r5==r6` using a single conditional branch.
- **No `Rc` / `OE`.** XL-form CR-logical ops never set CR0 or XER; they only update the named CR bit.
- **Not synchronising.** Pure data-flow on CR; freely reorderable.
- **Canary status.** Canary's `InstrEmit_crand` emits a host AND of the two CR bits.
## Related Instructions
- [`crandc`](crandc.md) — AND with complement: `CR[BT] ← CR[BA] AND ¬CR[BB]`.
- [`cror`](cror.md), [`crorc`](crorc.md) — OR / OR-with-complement.
- [`crnand`](crnand.md), [`crnor`](crnor.md) — negated AND / OR.
- [`crxor`](crxor.md), [`creqv`](creqv.md) — XOR and equivalence (XNOR).
- [`mcrf`](mcrf.md) — copy a whole 4-bit CR field.
- [`bcx`](../branch/bcx.md) consumers — the typical reason to compute composite CR bits.
### Simplified Mnemonics
- `crmove BT, BA``cror BT, BA, BA` (use `cror`, not `crand`).
- `crset BT``creqv BT, BT, BT` (set to 1).
- `crclr BT``crxor BT, BT, BT` (clear to 0).
`crand` itself has no dedicated simplified mnemonic.
