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)

# `rlwinmx` — Rotate Left Word Immediate then AND with Mask
> **Category:** [Integer ALU](../categories/alu.md) · **Form:** [M](../forms/M.md) · **Opcode:** `0x54000000`
<!-- GENERATED: BEGIN -->
## Assembler Mnemonics
| Mnemonic | XML entry | Flags | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `rlwinm` | `rlwinmx` | — | Rotate Left Word Immediate then AND with Mask |
| `rlwinm.` | `rlwinmx` | Rc=1 | Rotate Left Word Immediate then AND with Mask |
## Syntax
```asm
rlwinm[Rc] [RA], [RS], [SH], [MB], [ME]
```
## Encoding
### `rlwinmx` — form `M`
- **Opcode word:** `0x54000000`
- **Primary opcode (bits 05):** `21`
- **Extended opcode:** —
- **Synchronising:** no
| Bits | Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 05 | `OPCD` | primary opcode |
| 610 | `RS` | source GPR |
| 1115 | `RA` | destination GPR |
| 1620 | `SH/RB` | shift amount or source B |
| 2125 | `MB` | mask begin |
| 2630 | `ME` | mask end |
| 31 | `Rc` | record-form flag |
## Operands
| Field | Role | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `RS` | rlwinmx: read | Source GPR (alias for RD in some stores). |
| `SH` | rlwinmx: read | Shift amount. |
| `MB` | rlwinmx: read | Mask begin bit. |
| `ME` | rlwinmx: read | Mask end bit. |
| `RA` | rlwinmx: write | Source GPR (`r0``r31`). |
| `CR` | rlwinmx: 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
### `rlwinmx`
- **Reads (always):** `RS`, `SH`, `MB`, `ME`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `RA`
- **Writes (conditional):** `CR`
## Status-Register Effects
- `rlwinmx`: **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 ← ROTL32(RS[32:63], SH) & MASK(MB, ME)`.** Take the low 32 bits of `RS`, rotate them left by `SH`, AND with a 32-bit mask. The high 32 bits of `RA` are zero (`as u64` zero-extension on the result).
- **The 32-bit Swiss army knife.** Most 32-bit shift/extract simplified mnemonics expand to this single instruction:
- `slwi RA, RS, n``rlwinm RA, RS, n, 0, 31-n` — logical left shift.
- `srwi RA, RS, n``rlwinm RA, RS, 32-n, n, 31` — logical right shift.
- `clrlwi RA, RS, n``rlwinm RA, RS, 0, n, 31` — clear high `n` bits.
- `clrrwi RA, RS, n``rlwinm RA, RS, 0, 0, 31-n` — clear low `n` bits.
- `extlwi`, `extrwi`, `clrlslwi` — full mnemonic family in PowerISA appendix.
- **Mask convention `MB..ME`** is contiguous when `MB ≤ ME`. When `MB > ME`, the mask is the *complement* of bits `ME+1..MB-1` — a donut/wrap mask. Xenia's `rlw_mask` handles both.
- **`SH` is 5 bits**, rotate amount `0..31`.
- **`Rc=1` CR0 update truncates to 32 bits in xenia-rs.** [`interpreter.rs:518`](../../xenia-rs/crates/xenia-cpu/src/interpreter.rs#L518). Since the result fits in 32 bits, the truncation matches spec exactly.
- **No `XER` effect.**

- [`rlwnmx`](rlwnmx.md) — register-shift version.
- [`rldiclx`](rldiclx.md), [`rldicrx`](rldicrx.md) — 64-bit cousins.
- [`slwx`](slwx.md), [`srwx`](srwx.md), [`srawix`](srawix.md) — straight 32-bit shift instructions.
- `slwi`, `srwi`, `clrlwi`, `clrrwi`, `extlwi`, `extrwi` (simplified mnemonics).
