Document the post-P8 cross-cutting review and acid test outcome:
End-to-end reviewer caught:
- BLOCKING-LIKELY: lwa/lwax/lwaux ISA deviation (fixed in f1166d0)
- Cosmetic: fpscr round_single_toward_zero duplicate-branch (fixed in 09c6c92)
- Minor performance: reservation table active_reservers as slot-occupancy
- Asymmetry note: extswx remains 64-bit ABI per audit PPCBUG-038 (wontfix)
Acid test (-n 4B --parallel --reservations-table, pre-lwa-hotfix build):
- swaps=1, draws=0
- exit 0, no panics, no errors, no RtlRaiseException
- 14 thread spawns, 2 LR-sentinel exits
- Renderer plateau NOT unblocked by cumulative P1-P8 correctness fixes
Implication: the Sylpheed `draws=0` plateau has a non-PPC-correctness
root cause. PPC fixes were correctness-justified independent of the
renderer (well-grounded against canary). Next investigation tracks:
graphics pipeline (EDRAM resolve, RT readback), kernel HLE (event
signaling, timers), or the unresolved BST-validation paradox per
`project_xenia_rs_sylpheed_event_chain_2026_04_29.md`. Out of scope
for the PPC instruction audit.

P8 phase merged at 4029041. Update audit-findings.md status fields
(38 PPCBUGs marked applied) and append the P8 progress section to
audit-report-2026-04-29.md.
This closes the eight-phase audit-application sweep. Total ~161
PPCBUGs applied across P1-P8. ~12 LOW test-gap IDs remain Status:
open and can be closed incrementally without blocking any
functionality.
Next session: deferred acid test (`xenia-rs check sylpheed.iso
-n 4B --parallel --reservations-table`) to see if cumulative
correctness fixes unblock the Sylpheed renderer plateau (draws=0).

P7 of the PPC instruction audit fix application: re-ran the
ppc-manual generator (`python3 ppc-manual/generator/generate_manual.py`)
to regenerate all 350 family pages from current xenia-rs and
xenia-canary source. The 3 audit-cited stale snapshots
(PPCBUG-066/117/145) are now refreshed.
Note: the `ppc-manual/` directory is not versioned in xenia-rs/.git,
so this commit is purely the audit-findings status update + report
section. The regen itself happened in-place outside this repo.
Verification: post-regen grep confirms the old "For now, just trace
and continue" stub is gone from every page, and modern constructs
(trap::evaluate, current reservation_line model) appear correctly.
