MechaCat02 10dc260f0c chore(tools): adopt the PPC manual and a canary launcher that works anywhere
CONSOLIDATION.md Phase 6. Both lived untracked in the project root -- on one
disk, backed up by nothing.

  tools/ppc-manual/   393 files, 3.7 MB. 455 instructions, 350 family pages,
                      598 mnemonics resolvable through index.json, plus the
                      generator that produced them.
  tools/run-canary.sh the oracle launcher.

🔴 THE LAUNCHER WAS BROKEN IN TWO WAYS AND IS REWRITTEN, not copied:

  * it pointed at `xenia-rs/sylpheed.iso`, a SYMLINK. Wine cannot resolve one
    and says "path invalid", which reads as a corrupt image rather than a path
    problem -- it has cost a session before. It now points at the real file and
    warns if handed a symlink.
  * it hardcoded one machine's absolute paths, and named `xenia-rs`, which this
    consolidation retires. Now derived from the script's own location, with
    SYLPH_CANARY_BIN / SYLPH_ISO overrides and a check that each exists.

The standing constraints are in its header where someone will read them: one
emulator at a time, Canary runs MUTED, and never judge a crash or a hang from
a Bash-launched run -- a SIGKILL that looked like the binary was the editor's
process supervisor.

⚠️ The manual's GENERATOR reads the xenia-rs source tree, which is going away.
Its decoder now lives here as crates/sylpheed-ppc, so the generator must be
repointed before it is run again. Recorded in the README rather than left for
someone to discover; the manual's content is checked in and regenerates from
nothing implicitly.

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
- **DS-form, not D-form.** Like [`ld`](ld.md), `std` uses a 14-bit signed displacement scaled by 4 (`EXTS(ds || 0b00)`). Bits 30–31 are the extended opcode used to distinguish `std` (XO=0) from `stdu` (XO=1). Assemblers verify the byte displacement is a multiple of 4.
- **Big-endian write.** The 64-bit value of `RS` is written most-significant-byte-first: `RS[0:7]` to `EA`, `RS[56:63]` to `EA+7`. Xenia's `mem.write_u64` performs the host-side byte swap if needed.
- **`RA0` for `std` and `stdx`.** When `RA = 0`, base is the literal zero. Update forms `stdu` / `stdux` invoke `RA = 0` as an invalid form (no `RA = RS` collision possible — `RS` and `RA` are independent encoding fields, and even if equal the store reads `RS` first).
- **Update-form post-write.** `stdu` / `stdux` write `EA` to `RA` after the store. Order is store-then-update.
- **Alignment.** Xenon tolerates unaligned doubleword stores. PowerISA permits implementations to raise alignment exceptions; portable code keeps doublewords 8-byte aligned. Cache-inhibited storage may force alignment.
- **Cache-line behaviour.** A doubleword store fits inside one Xenon cache line (128 B), so it's a single line write. A doubleword store that **straddles** a line boundary triggers two line accesses — keep doublewords 8-byte aligned to avoid the cost.
- **64-bit pointer / counter stores.** Xbox 360 user code is 32-bit, but kernel structures, TOC entries, and 64-bit counters are stored with `std`.
