The end state the human set: Sylpheed holds the port, the corpus and every
tool; the Canary fork holds the emulator and oracle. Four repos retire.
Eight phases, each with a gate. What matters more than the sequence is the
ledger: every absorption claim here was RUN, not reasoned.
Reborn's 21 remote + 8 local branch tips -> all ancestors of Sylpheed/main
Sylpheed-Godot's 2 tips + the root graft -> all ancestors
agent-backups/, 23 refs across 4 bundles -> all present in Sylpheed
3 unpushed pi/* branches, by patch-id -> all 4 patches already on main
issues / PRs / releases / wikis, 6 repos -> zero outside Sylpheed
Three things the check found that a plan built on the obvious reading would
have destroyed:
1. The F1 instrument -- Canary's --pad_file_repeat patch, the one behind the
repeat rate now shipped in the port -- is UNCOMMITTED, alongside 4 unpushed
commits and a branch contained in no remote. Phase 0 exists for this.
2. xenia-rs has 4 unpushed branches of JIT/multicore/native-threads work.
Dropping the emulator is a decision; dropping work that was never pushed is
a different act, done by accident.
3. The DuckDB tool is not on master, which last moved 2026-06-15. It is on
iterate-4A/apu-xma-stage1, +22 commits, 2026-09-10.
On the captures question the measurement contradicted the premise: 193 of 257
files are cited by a page or opened by a tool, and two are fixtures that
cargo test opens. 64 are orphans. Phase 4 builds docs/re/ the citation check
docs/port/ has had all along -- it already finds 10 dangling citations -- and
fixes those BEFORE deleting orphans, so the deletion cannot ratify them.
Deleting reclaims nothing anyway: the 118 MB is in history, and the build
depends on this repo by tag (formats-pin-2026-09-01, pinned in Cargo.lock).
That is Phase 5's explicit fork rather than a default.
