MechaCat02 184ca0b556 docs: fold the page's revisions into the file, and separate wrong from unchecked
The runbook existed as two documents -- a published page and this file -- with
no mechanism keeping them equal, only an intention to remember. Two versions was
the predicted outcome of that, not an accident on top of it. This is the fold,
and the rule that follows it: THIS FILE IS THE SOURCE, the page is derived from
it. When something is urgent enough to push to the page first, it lands here in
the same turn, not "shortly after".

Four things the file did not carry:

  * YOUR OWN PUSHES TO main STOP. `enable_push: false` compiles to CanUserPush,
    which returns false with no bypass for admins or the owner -- quoted from
    the source. Three commits went in by direct push the day this was written,
    so the first notice would have been mid-task. Now a check step.
  * the token files' MACHINES, which the table had lost.
  * do NOT add `write:repository` to the `fabi` token. That scope IS a push
    credential. Written down because that advice was given, in chat, by the
    author of this file.
  * Gitea 1.25.5 confirmed from the desktop too, not just the Pi.

And one thing deliberately NOT folded in: the page said the desktop's outbound
HTTP was blocked, and that is false. `python3 -c 'urllib...'` returns
200 {"version":"1.25.5"} from this box. What is refused here is `curl`, by a
local permission prompt -- which I read as a network constraint and then
published as one. The Phase 3 locations stand; the reason given for them did not.

The "not verified" section now separates WRONG from UNCHECKED. Four entries are
wrong -- requiring an approval does not close the gate, the check could not have
caught that, the token scope, the reachability -- and the pattern in all four is
identical: a property inferred from something ADJACENT to it (protection from a
settings page, reachability from a DNS record) instead of tested directly. That
is the frozen-splash failure, committed in the document about avoiding it. The
first two were caught by the other agent, which is the argument for the review
gate this file exists to build.

Sylpheed

A clean-room reverse engineering and port project for Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception (Xbox 360, 2007).

Three things live here, in one repository so that a change spanning them lands as one commit:

The decoders crates/sylpheed-formats — the disc's formats, read and verified disc-wide
The port port/ — a Godot 4 project, plus crates/sylpheed-export which converts a disc into the open asset tree it reads
The corpus docs/re/ — what has been reverse engineered, with its evidence, its retractions and its dead ends

You need your own copy of the game. No game content is in this repository and none ever will be. The exporter reads the disc you supply.

The oracle is the real game

sylpheed-cli and the Explorer are tools for verifying our decoding. They are hypotheses under test and they have been wrong. When something must be checked against the truth, the truth is the game running in Xenia Canary, captured — not any renderer of ours.

This is stated first because getting it backwards is the most expensive mistake this project has made.

Layout

crates/
  sylpheed-formats/   the decoders. Disc-wide verified; the corpus is its spec
  sylpheed-cli/       headless tools -- render a screen, dump a table, probe audio
  sylpheed-viewer/    the Explorer: a human's window onto the disc. STATIC data only
  sylpheed-export/    disc -> the open, moddable asset tree
port/                 the Godot 4 project. Reads open formats ONLY
authored/             decisions that are NOT on the disc, each with its reason
data/
  base/               generated by the exporter. Gitignored, never hand-edited
  mods/               drop-in overrides. Yours
docs/
  re/                 the corpus: findings, refutations, method traps
  game/               how the game is navigated -- menus, modals, flight
  port/               the port's mission, its handoff contract, modding rules
                      -- and RUNNING.md, which is how you actually start it
  agents/             how the agent team works together
tools/                capture harnesses, probes, the share tool
exchange/             transient inter-agent files. NOT in git
docker/               the agent containers

Where to start

Xenia Canary is a separate repository: it is a fork tracking upstream, and it carries our instrumentation.

Confidence is per claim, never per document: CONFIRMED · 🟡 PROBABLE · HYPOTHESIS · REFUTED. A withdrawn result is kept with its reasoning rather than deleted — that is why the numbers here can be trusted.
