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)

# `rldimix` — Rotate Left Doubleword Immediate then Mask Insert
> **Category:** [Integer ALU](../categories/alu.md) · **Form:** [MD](../forms/MD.md) · **Opcode:** `0x7800000c`
<!-- GENERATED: BEGIN -->
## Assembler Mnemonics
| Mnemonic | XML entry | Flags | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `rldimi` | `rldimix` | — | Rotate Left Doubleword Immediate then Mask Insert |
| `rldimi.` | `rldimix` | Rc=1 | Rotate Left Doubleword Immediate then Mask Insert |
## Syntax
```asm
rldimi[Rc] [RA], [RS], [SH], [MB]
```
## Encoding
### `rldimix` — form `MD`
- **Opcode word:** `0x7800000c`
- **Primary opcode (bits 05):** `30`
- **Extended opcode:** —
- **Synchronising:** no
| Bits | Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 05 | `OPCD` | primary opcode (30) |
| 610 | `RS` | source GPR |
| 1115 | `RA` | destination GPR |
| 1620 | `sh` | shift amount low 5 bits |
| 2126 | `mb/me` | 6-bit mask field (swapped halves) |
| 2729 | `XO` | extended opcode |
| 30 | `sh5` | shift amount high bit |
| 31 | `Rc` | record-form flag |
## Operands
| Field | Role | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `RS` | rldimix: read | Source GPR (alias for RD in some stores). |
| `SH` | rldimix: read | Shift amount. |
| `MB` | rldimix: read | Mask begin bit. |
| `RA` | rldimix: write | Source GPR (`r0``r31`). |
| `CR` | rldimix: 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
### `rldimix`
- **Reads (always):** `RS`, `SH`, `MB`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `RA`
- **Writes (conditional):** `CR`
## Status-Register Effects
- `rldimix`: **CR0** ← signed-compare(result, 0) with `SO ← XER[SO]`, when `Rc=1`.
## Operation (pseudocode)
```
; Pseudocode derives directly from the xenia-rs interpreter
; arm (see Implementation References). Operation semantics:
; - Read source operands from the fields listed under Operands.
; - Apply the arithmetic / logical / memory action described
; in the Description field above.
; - Write results to the destination register(s); update any
; status bits enumerated under Status-Register Effects.
; Consult the IBM AIX reference link under IBM Reference for
; canonical PPC-style pseudocode where xenia's expression is
; terse.
```
## 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
- **`RA ← (ROTL64(RS, SH) & MASK) | (RA & ~MASK)`.** *Reads* the prior `RA` so it can preserve the bits outside the mask — this is the only `rld*` instruction with `RA` as both source and destination.
- **Mask is `MASK_LEFT(MB) AND MASK_RIGHT(63 - SH)`** ([`interpreter.rs:578`](../../xenia-rs/crates/xenia-cpu/src/interpreter.rs#L578)) — same span as [`rldicx`](rldicx.md), but the un-masked region is preserved in the destination instead of being zeroed.
- **Use to insert a bit-field.** Common idiom: `rldimi RA, RS, b, mask_start` writes `RS`'s low (`64 - mask_start`) bits into `RA` starting at bit `b`.
- **`SH` and `MB` decoding** is identical to the rest of the family (6-bit `sh` via `instr.sh64()`, 6-bit `mb` via the swap layout).
- **`Rc=1` CR0 is correctly 64-bit.** Uses `as i64` directly.
- **No `XER` effect.**
- **Compile-time pattern.** When you see `rldimi r3, r4, n, m`, the compiler is splicing a value into `r3`; recover the meaning by computing the mask `MASK(m, 63 - n)`.
## Related Instructions
- [`rldicx`](rldicx.md), [`rldiclx`](rldiclx.md), [`rldicrx`](rldicrx.md) — same form family, but they zero outside the mask instead of preserving.
- [`rlwimix`](rlwimix.md) — 32-bit insert cousin.
- [`rldclx`](rldclx.md), [`rldcrx`](rldcrx.md) — register-shift forms (no insert variant).
