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
- **Bit-exact double store.** Writes the 64-bit IEEE binary64 contents of `FRS` directly to memory; no rounding, no format conversion. The xenia snapshot calls `mem.write_f64(ea, ctx.fpr[instr.rs()])`, which preserves the exact bit pattern (including signalling NaNs).
- **No FPSCR side effects.** Like [`lfd`](lfd.md), `stfd` cannot raise IEEE exceptions: there is no rounding step. Contrast [`stfs`](stfs.md), where double→single rounding **can** raise inexact / overflow / underflow.
- **`RA0` (non-update forms).** `RA = 0` in `stfd` and `stfdx` selects literal zero. Update forms `stfdu` / `stfdux` invoke `RA = 0` as an invalid form.
- **Update-form post-write.** `stfdu` / `stfdux` write the computed `EA` back to `RA` after the store. No `FRS` / `RA` collision possible — `RS` is an FPR, `RA` is a GPR.
- **Big-endian write.** Byte at `EA` is the FPR's most-significant byte (sign + part of exponent), byte at `EA+7` is the least-significant mantissa byte. Xenia's `mem.write_f64` performs host-side byte-swap.
- **Alignment.** Xenon tolerates unaligned 8-byte FP stores. PowerISA permits implementations to raise alignment exceptions on cache-inhibited storage.
- **MSR[FP] required.** Disabled FP unit raises Floating-Point Unavailable.
