`cargo fmt --all -- --check` has failed on every run in this repository's history, identically on `main` and on every branch. This is #12. Mechanical: `cargo fmt --all`, nothing else. 154 files, all `.rs`, no other extension touched. `cargo check --workspace` exits 0 afterwards, so nothing changed semantically. ON THE ORDERING, WHICH WAS THE REAL QUESTION. HANDOFF-2026-09-06 section 7 warns this is the expensive fix: a whole-tree reformat before #7 and #8 return "would put a conflict in every file of 861 commits and make the reviews those items exist to enable unreadable". That is measurably too pessimistic, and it had been reasoned rather than tested. Measured here by three-way merging a rustfmt'd `main` against both unmerged branches, file by file: file/branch pairs tested 32 merges CLEAN 28 merges CONFLICTING 4 (8 conflict hunks total) sylpheed-cli/src/main.rs 1 hunk sylpheed-export/src/check.rs 1 sylpheed-export/src/screen.rs 4 sylpheed-export/src/video.rs 2 All four are against `auto/frame-blend-draw-path` only; `auto/port-p6-audio` does not conflict anywhere. The earlier framing -- 154 dirty files, 133 that cannot collide, 21 that can, the collision set carrying 147 of 774 hunks (19%) -- reproduces exactly. What it did not say is that most of the 21 still merge cleanly, because rustfmt's edits and the branches' edits rarely land on the same lines. So the cost of sweeping now is 4 files and 8 hunks for one branch, against a check that is otherwise red forever. Deliberately NOT folded into the WASM PR: 154 reformatted files would make that one unreviewable. Closes #12
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

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