Refuted my own evidence with a direct test. The A-press fault page cited the faulting run's dumped logged_profile_slot_0_xuid = "" as proof no profile was signed in. Xenia prints its config dump BEFORE applying command-line overrides: in a run launched with --apu=sdl --hid=file --mute=true --log_mask=13, the dump says apu="any", hid="any", mute=false, log_mask=0. Four for four. So the dump is a statement about xenia-canary.config.toml and nothing else, and this page cannot know the faulting run's profile state. Anything in the corpus citing a config dump as evidence of what a run did is making the same mistake; to know a run's settings, record its argv. Survives: the mechanism (swallow -> unbounded pump -> failed allocation -> fault), which rests on the [RE-INPUT] counter and the crash dump's registers; and canary-scripted-input-traps.md section 3's measured sign-in-dialog claim, which has a capture behind it. Also records the port's base-plus-glow mechanism for the plate, which explains why the pulse floor is 714 rather than the plate-absent 159 -- ptbtn00's fade at t=244 is an exit ramp so the base holds at 255 while the screen is held, and ptbtn00f's 0->80->0 glow draws over it. Marked as agreeing with the measurement, not confirming it: their renderer is not an oracle. It does rule out a glow-only plate, which could not produce a non-zero floor.

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

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

game/ how the game is navigated -- menus, modals, flight
port/ the port's mission, its handoff contract, modding rules

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