Finishes #16 in the three places its earlier remedies missed. `tests/`: the last four local `disc_root()` copies now use `tests/common`, and with them goes the one real hardcoded fallback — `ui_keyframe_record_disc.rs` fell back to an absolute path on one machine, which made `unset SYLPHEED_DISC` a no-op there. Control: with the corpus absent that suite now finishes in 0.00s instead of 57.55s, so it skips rather than finding a disc of its own. `examples/`: seventeen examples defaulted to `/disc`, the mount point inside the CI container. Redundant there — `docker/ci/run` sets `SYLPHEED_DISC=/disc` — and wrong everywhere else, where a missing corpus turned into a file-not-found against a path that has never existed on the host. They now name the variable to set, like the other hundred examples already did. `docker/ci/run`: mount `$SYLPHEED_RES3D` and `$SYLPHEED_ISO` alongside the disc. Only the disc was mounted, so an in-container run sat out the res3d and iso suites while looking like a full one — the defect this issue is about, in the runner itself. Measured in the container on this desktop with all three corpora present: 45 suites / 377 passed / 0 failed / 14 ignored, and `sylpheed-corpus-report.txt` now reports PRESENT for all three rather than for the disc alone.

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-cliand 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.
