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)

# `extsbx` — Extend Sign Byte
> **Category:** [Integer ALU](../categories/alu.md) · **Form:** [X](../forms/X.md) · **Opcode:** `0x7c000774`
<!-- GENERATED: BEGIN -->
## Assembler Mnemonics
| Mnemonic | XML entry | Flags | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `extsb` | `extsbx` | — | Extend Sign Byte |
| `extsb.` | `extsbx` | Rc=1 | Extend Sign Byte |
## Syntax
```asm
extsb[Rc] [RA], [RS]
```
## Encoding
### `extsbx` — form `X`
- **Opcode word:** `0x7c000774`
- **Primary opcode (bits 05):** `31`
- **Extended opcode:** `954`
- **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` | extsbx: read | Source GPR (alias for RD in some stores). |
| `RA` | extsbx: write | Source GPR (`r0``r31`). |
| `CR` | extsbx: 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
### `extsbx`
- **Reads (always):** `RS`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `RA`
- **Writes (conditional):** `CR`
## Status-Register Effects
- `extsbx`: **CR0** ← signed-compare(result, 0) with `SO ← XER[SO]`, when `Rc=1`.
## Operation (pseudocode)
```
RA <- EXTS_8_to_64((RS)[56:63])
```
## 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. */
```

```rust
PpcOpcode::extsbx => {
// PPCBUG-034: 32-bit ABI — sign-extend byte to i32, write zero-extended.
// PPCBUG-036 (coupled): CR0 must view result as i32, not i64.
ctx.gpr[instr.ra()] = ctx.gpr[instr.rs()] as i8 as i32 as u32 as u64;
if instr.rc_bit() { ctx.update_cr_signed(0, ctx.gpr[instr.ra()] as u32 as i32 as i64); }

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
- **Sign-extends the low 8 bits of `RS` to 64 bits.** Bit 56 of `RS` (the sign bit of the byte) becomes bits 055 of `RA`; bits 5663 are copied verbatim.
- **Common after a byte load.** `lbz` zero-extends from memory; `extsb` converts the result to a signed-byte view. Many compilers emit this pair; the recent ISA `lba`/`lbau` family is *not* available on the Xenon, so this two-instruction sequence is the canonical pattern.
- **`Rc=1` updates CR0 from the full 64-bit signed value** — but xenia-rs truncates to 32 bits in [`interpreter.rs:384`](../../xenia-rs/crates/xenia-cpu/src/interpreter.rs#L384). For `extsb.` this is harmless because the result fits in 8 bits sign-extended; the low 32 bits already encode the sign correctly.
- **Operand convention** is the X-form one (`RA` destination, `RS` source). Same as the rest of the logical family.
- **No `XER` side effects.**
- **`RB` field unused.** Set to 0 by assemblers; ignored on decode.
- **Aliasing is fine.** `extsb r3, r3` rewrites `r3` in place.
## Related Instructions
- [`extshx`](extshx.md) — sign-extend half-word (16 bits).
- [`extswx`](extswx.md) — sign-extend word (32 bits).
- [`rlwinmx`](rlwinmx.md), [`rldiclx`](rldiclx.md) — for *zero*-extending or extracting non-byte-aligned fields.
- `lbz`, `lha` (memory ops, outside this page set) — pair with this for signed byte loads.
