MechaCat02 ef93a4fa14 handoff: VSync/event-wedge fixes + iterate 2.A–2.BC research notes
Source changes (dormant parity infra, retained from iterate 2.AI/2.AO):
- xenia-kernel/exports.rs: nt_create_event manual_reset polarity +
  related event wiring
- xenia-gpu/mmio_region.rs: D1MODE_VBLANK_VLINE_STATUS hardcode parity

Also lands the audit-runs/ analysis notes (.md/.txt/.json digests) for the
iterate 2.x VSync/0x10e8/0x1004 wedge investigation. Raw trace dumps
(.jsonl/.gz/.csv/.stdout) and agent worktrees (.claude/) are gitignored as
regenerable local artifacts — see memory + HANDOFF for the running findings.

Phase A diff report

This report is the output of Phase A's diff harness. Divergences shown here are INPUT for Phase B (first-divergence localization), not findings of Phase A. Phase A's job is to make the harness itself correct, not to analyze what it surfaces.

Summary

canary_tid ours_tid matched canary_total ours_total first_divergence_at floating_create (c/o) floating_wait (c/o)

floating_create (c/o) counts shared-global handle.create events absorbed by Phase C+18 cross-tid SID matching. floating_wait (c/o) counts wait.begin events on shared-global dispatchers absorbed by Phase C+21 (scheduling-jitter window — canary's contention slow path may fire while ours fast-paths or vice versa). See schema-v1.md §"Shared-global SIDs" and §"Wait-begin floating absorb".
