Issue #49: the repos carry code, tooling and docs only. Untracks 143 screenshots, 3 savegame blobs and `tools/re-capture/ob_digits.png` (a digit-template sheet cut from game frames) -- 146 files, 76.4 MB. They stay in the working tree and are gitignored, so the pages' relative links still resolve where the captures exist and nothing ships. Derived measurements (csv/tsv/txt/log/json/jsonl/npy) are our own numbers, not game content, and stay tracked -- they are what most claims rest on. `check-capture-citations` had its contract inverted, and it is the half worth reading: * presence now comes from the WORKING TREE, not `git ls-files`. The assets are deliberately untracked, so asking the index would report every screenshot as missing and fail all 203 citations. * a NEW failure: a game asset that IS tracked. A screenshot that sneaks back in is invisible in review -- a binary shows as "Bin 0 -> 1234567 bytes" -- and is permanent once merged, since removing it later needs a history rewrite. So that half has to be loud. Verified: * selftest 8/8, including the new rule * scan: 212 present, 212 cited, 0 dangling, 0 tracked -> exit 0 * force-add one PNG -> "game assets TRACKED: 1", exit 1, selftest red ⚠️ This does NOT remove the blobs from history; a clone still fetches them. That needs a filter-repo rewrite and a force-push, which is a separate, human-run step. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
docs/re/INDEX.md— what is decodeddocs/re/REFUTED.md— what has been tested and dieddocs/re/METHOD.md— traps this project has already paid fordocs/game/navigation.md— how the game is navigateddocs/port/MODDING.md— why the asset tree looks the way it does
Xenia Canary is a separate repository: it is a fork tracking upstream, and it carries our instrumentation.
