MechaCat02 e6d43a23ac chore: add migration/ bundle for cross-machine setup
Bundles state that lives OUTSIDE the xenia-rs repo so a fresh clone on
another machine can be brought up to identical configuration via
migration/setup.sh:

  - claude-memory/             ~/.claude/projects/-home-fabi-RE-Project-Sylpheed/memory/
                               (103 files, 1.1 MB - MEMORY.md + every
                                project_xenia_rs_*.md from audits
                                addis_signext through audit-058)
  - project-root/dot-claude/   <project-root>/.claude/settings.json
                               (Stop hook + permissions)
  - project-root/ppc-manual/   <project-root>/ppc-manual/
                               (PowerPC reference docs, 397 files, 3.7 MB)
  - project-root/run-canary.sh <project-root>/run-canary.sh
  - README.md                  Human-readable setup checklist
  - setup.sh                   Idempotent installer (also reclones
                               xenia-canary at pinned HEAD 6de80dffe)
  - MANIFEST.md                Per-file mapping + per-file-not-bundled
                               restoration recipe

Excluded from bundle (not shippable via git):
  - Sylpheed ISO (7.8 GB; copyright; manual copy required)
  - sylpheed.db (395 MB; regenerable from XEX via analysis tooling)
  - target/ build artifacts (rebuild on target)
  - audit-runs probe firehoses (.log/.stdout/.stderr ~11 GB; rerun if needed)
  - audit-runs memory dumps (.bin ~4.5 GB; rerun audit-026/027/029 if needed)
  - xenia-canary checkout (setup.sh reclones from
    git.mc02.dev/fabi/Xenia-Canary.git at HEAD 6de80dffe)

# `cntlzdx` — Count Leading Zeros Doubleword
> **Category:** [Integer ALU](../categories/alu.md) · **Form:** [X](../forms/X.md) · **Opcode:** `0x7c000074`
<!-- GENERATED: BEGIN -->
## Assembler Mnemonics
| Mnemonic | XML entry | Flags | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cntlzd` | `cntlzdx` | — | Count Leading Zeros Doubleword |
| `cntlzd.` | `cntlzdx` | Rc=1 | Count Leading Zeros Doubleword |
## Syntax
```asm
cntlzd [RA], [RS]
```
## Encoding
### `cntlzdx` — form `X`
- **Opcode word:** `0x7c000074`
- **Primary opcode (bits 05):** `31`
- **Extended opcode:** `58`
- **Synchronising:** no
| Bits | Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 05 | `OPCD` | primary opcode |
| 610 | `RT/FRT/VRT` | destination |
| 1115 | `RA/FRA/VRA` | source A |
| 1620 | `RB/FRB/VRB` | source B |
| 2130 | `XO` | extended opcode (10 bits) |
| 31 | `Rc` | record-form flag |
## Operands
| Field | Role | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `RS` | cntlzdx: read | Source GPR (alias for RD in some stores). |
| `RA` | cntlzdx: write | Source GPR (`r0``r31`). |
| `CR` | cntlzdx: write (conditional) | Condition-register update. When `Rc=1`, CR field 0 (or CR6 for vector compares, CR1 for FPU) is updated from the result. |
## Register Effects
### `cntlzdx`
- **Reads (always):** `RS`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `RA`
- **Writes (conditional):** `CR`
## Status-Register Effects
- `cntlzdx`: **CR0** ← signed-compare(result, 0) with `SO ← XER[SO]`, when `Rc=1`.
## Operation (pseudocode)
```
n <- number_of_leading_zero_bits((RS)) ; n in 0..64
RA <- zero_extend(n)
```
## C Translation Example
```c
/* C translation: the xenia-rs interpreter arm below in */
/* Implementation References is the authoritative semantic */
/* snapshot. Translate it line-by-line: */
/* - ctx.gpr[N] -> r[N] (or f[]/v[] for FPRs/VRs) */
/* - mem.read_u*/write_u* -> mem_read_u*_be / mem_write_u*_be */
/* - ctx.update_cr_signed(fld, v) -> update_cr_signed(fld, v) */
/* - ctx.xer_ca / xer_ov / xer_so -> xer.CA / xer.OV / xer.SO */
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
- **Result range is `0..=64`.** When `RS == 0`, every bit is a leading zero and `RA = 64`. When the high bit (`RS[0]`) is set, `RA = 0`. Any intermediate value yields the count of high-order zeros before the first 1-bit.
- **Counts across the full 64 bits.** Use [`cntlzwx`](cntlzwx.md) when you only want to count the low 32 bits.
- **Useful as `floor(log2(x)) = 63 cntlzd(x)`** for nonzero `x`. Frequently used in fast normalization, priority encoders, and bit-vector operations.
- **`RB` field unused.** This is X-form but only `RS` is read; `RB` is a placeholder slot.
- **`Rc=1` quirk.** `update_cr_signed(0, RA as i64)` is correct in xenia-rs because the result fits in 7 bits and is non-negative. The CR0 result will always be `EQ` (when `RS != 0` and `RA != 0`? — actually `EQ` only when `RS[0] == 1`, i.e. `RA == 0`) or `GT` (when `RS != 0` so `RA > 0`); never `LT`. `EQ` corresponds to "high bit set in `RS`", a useful one-instruction sign test for negative-as-signed values.
- **No `XER` side effects.** Counts neither overflow nor carry.
## Related Instructions
- [`cntlzwx`](cntlzwx.md) — 32-bit version (counts only `RS[32:63]`).
- [`sldx`](sldx.md), [`srdx`](srdx.md) — pair with `cntlzd` for normalisation.
- [`rldiclx`](rldiclx.md) — for extracting individual bit positions once the leading-zero count is known.
- [`cmpi`](cmpi.md) / [`cmp`](cmp.md) — alternative for testing the high bit.
