Answers what the previous commit left open: naming the branches did not give a
clear condition, because that needs the operand chain feeding each compare.
First, a correction to my own work. isl-bytecode.md -- which OWNS the opcode table
-- already named ops 21-24 push.i/push.f/pop.i/pop.f. isl-branches.md, which I
wrote last iteration, said op21 and op23 were unread. The stale file was mine.
Verified from the thunks rather than accepted: 21 pushes [phase+168] onto the deque
at phase+44, 22 pushes [phase+184] onto phase+64, and the 23/24 handlers touch only
r3+168 and r3+184. So pop.i lands in special[1].
New: the 147-entry built-in table is a thin DISPATCH LAYER, not implementations.
Each stub resolves the local[] argument base and tail-calls a fixed ScriptPhase
vtable slot. 112 of 147 dispatch that way; 17 write [phase+164] inline; 0 write
+184. Every named predicate is in the vtable group -- unit_state 184, unit_alive
188, hp_pct_test 64, dist_lt 56, is_engaged 252, timer_elapsed 372 -- which is the
control that the split separates engine queries from script bookkeeping.
The vtable is 0x820A84BC, derived from a known implementation rather than a stride:
MARK_LAST_PHASE is documented as [phase+300]=2; the function 0x8226B498 is exactly
that stub; it appears as a data word at exactly one address, 0x820A8570; built-in
39 uses slot 180. The check NOT used in the derivation: built-in 40 mark_not_last
uses slot 176, and slot 176 holds the [phase+300]=1 stub. Predicted and confirmed.
The db's own vptr_writes independently lists 0x820A84BC, written at 0x82261B80.
unit_state = slot 184 = 0x8226ADF0, which indexes [phase+324] by local[4] and writes
its answer to [phase+164] = special[0] at both exits. The phase-3 poll loop now
reads end to end: unit_state(ADT308) -> special[0]; pop.i -> special[1]; cmp.i; beq.
isl.py names ops 21-24; the calls artefact regenerates with NO diff.
Left open and said so: the other 111 vtable slots, which comparand each site pushes,
the 35 non-vtable built-ins, and the vtable's length.
