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)

## Assembler Mnemonics
| Mnemonic | XML entry | Flags | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mulli` | `mulli` | — | Multiply Low Immediate |
## Syntax
```asm
mulli [RD], [RA], [SIMM]
```
## Encoding
### `mulli` — form `D`
- **Opcode word:** `0x1c000000`
- **Primary opcode (bits 05):** `7`
- **Extended opcode:** —
- **Synchronising:** no
| Bits | Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 05 | `OPCD` | primary opcode |
| 610 | `RT` | destination GPR (or RS when storing) |
| 1115 | `RA` | source GPR (0 ⇒ literal 0 for RA0 forms) |
| 1631 | `D/SI/UI` | 16-bit signed or unsigned immediate |
## Operands
| Field | Role | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `RA` | mulli: read | Source GPR (`r0``r31`). |
| `SIMM` | mulli: read | 16-bit signed immediate. Sign-extended to 64 bits before use. |
| `RD` | mulli: write | Destination GPR. |
## Register Effects
### `mulli`
- **Reads (always):** `RA`, `SIMM`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `RD`
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
## Status-Register Effects
_No condition-register or status-register effects._
## Operation (pseudocode)
```
RT <- ((RA) * EXTS(SIMM))[64:127]
```
## 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. */

// multiply), product fits in 32 bits per ISA (overflow wraps).
let ra = ctx.gpr[instr.ra()] as i32 as i64;

ctx.gpr[instr.rd()] = (ra.wrapping_mul(imm) as u32) as u64;

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
- **64-bit operand, sign-extended 16-bit immediate.** Xenia reads the full 64-bit `RA` as `i64` and the immediate as a sign-extended `i64` ([`interpreter.rs:80-81`](../../xenia-rs/crates/xenia-cpu/src/interpreter.rs#L80-L81)) — note this differs from the PPC pseudocode header which writes `(RA) * EXTS(SIMM)` as a 64-bit operation but other implementations sometimes treat it as 32×32. On the Xenon (and in xenia-rs), it is genuinely 64-bit.
- **Returns the low 64 bits.** No high half is produced — equivalent to `(int64_t)RA * (int64_t)SIMM` modulo `2^64`. There is no `mulhi`-immediate instruction.
- **No `Rc`, no `OE`.** This D-form has no flag bits — strictly `RT ← RA * SIMM`. To check overflow, compare the result to `(int32_t)RA * SIMM` after the fact, or use [`mulldx`](mulldx.md) with `OE=1` after materialising the immediate.
- **Common compiler idiom.** `mulli` is heavily used for fixed-stride array indexing (`r3 *= sizeof_struct`) when the size is a small signed constant.
- **No carry.** `XER[CA]` is untouched.
- **Same multi-cycle latency** as `mullw` / `mulld`. Compilers strength-reduce `mulli rD, rA, 2^k` to a left shift and `mulli rD, rA, 3` to `add+shift` when the immediate has cheap structure.
- **Aliasing fine.** `mulli r3, r3, 5` rewrites in place.
## Related Instructions
- [`mullwx`](mullwx.md) — register-register low 32 (signed).
- [`mulldx`](mulldx.md) — register-register low 64 (signed).
- [`mulhdx`](mulhdx.md), [`mulhdux`](mulhdux.md) — high halves (no immediate variant).
- [`addi`](addi.md) — add immediate; sometimes substituted by compilers when the multiplier is `2^k+1` etc.
- [`slwx`](slwx.md), [`sldx`](sldx.md) — shifts often replace `mulli` for power-of-two multipliers.
