Snapshot for handoff. Contains the mission-audio + threading fixes and the
crash-investigation instrumentation (all diagnostic cvars default-OFF).
Fixes (behavioral):
- threading_posix.cc: reap-once guard on PosixCondition<Thread>::post_execution
(double pthread_join at mission teardown -> fault loop -> audio death + freeze).
- xma_decoder.cc: work_event_->Set() in Pause() so the idle XMA worker observes
paused_ and signals pause_fence_ (Pause() deadlock -> permanent audio death).
- audio_system / xma_context_master / xboxkrnl_audio / apu_flags / alsa: mission
audio keepalive + guest_audio_flags + watchdogs.
Instrumentation (additive, default-off): xboxkrnl_debug cache-throw diag +
guest-catch dispatcher, xex_module PE/PDATA/EH scans, kernel_state mem_watch
(NOTE: mem_watch DEFAULTS TRUE -- an always-on host poll thread; prime crash suspect).
NEW ORACLE (see HANDOFF-crash-oracle-2026-07-16.md): stock 6e5b8324f built with
our toolchain + zero custom code = NO crash, NO sound-stop, plays the Ready Room.
=> the Ready-Room out_of_range crash is introduced by THESE changes, not the game
and not the (LTO-broken) build chain. Bisection plan + suspect ranking in the note.

- Fake: No decoding
- Master: 1:1 from base version of Xenia
- Old: Master with improvements
- New: Completely new decoder with better stability (but not compability)
