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)

# `mfcr` — Move from Condition Register
> **Category:** [Control / CR / SPR](../categories/control.md) · **Form:** [X](../forms/X.md) · **Opcode:** `0x7c000026`
<!-- GENERATED: BEGIN -->
## Assembler Mnemonics
| Mnemonic | XML entry | Flags | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mfcr` | `mfcr` | — | Move from Condition Register |
## Syntax
```asm
mfcr [RD]
```
## Encoding
### `mfcr` — form `X`
- **Opcode word:** `0x7c000026`
- **Primary opcode (bits 05):** `31`
- **Extended opcode:** `19`
- **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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `CR` | mfcr: read | Condition-register update. When `Rc=1`, CR field 0 (or CR6 for vector compares, CR1 for FPU) is updated from the result. |
| `RD` | mfcr: write | Destination GPR. |
## Register Effects
### `mfcr`
- **Reads (always):** `CR`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `RD`
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
## Status-Register Effects
_No condition-register or status-register effects._
## Operation (pseudocode)
```
RT <- 0x00000000 || CR
```
## 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
- **Operation.** Packs all 32 CR bits into the low half of `RD`; the upper 32 bits of `RD` are zeroed. CR field 0 ends up in bits 32..35 of `RD` (i.e. bits 0..3 of the 32-bit packed value), CR field 7 in bits 60..63 (bits 28..31).
- **No CR side effect.** `mfcr` is a read; CR is unmodified. The XL-form's nominal `Rc` bit is unused on this opcode.
- **Saving CR across calls.** The Xbox 360 / SysV ABI requires non-volatile CR fields (CR2..CR4) to be preserved across calls. Standard prologue: `mfcr r12; stw r12, 8(r1)`. Epilogue restores via [`mtcrf`](mtcrf.md).
- **Bit ordering.** PowerPC numbers bits big-endian (bit 0 = MSB). The encoding into the GPR follows the same convention: CR0.LT lands in bit 32 of the doubleword (the MSB of the low word). C-side translations should mask with `0xFFFFFFFFu` before consuming.
- **`mfocrf` variant.** PowerISA defines `mfocrf` (one CR field), encoded as `mfcr` with the high bit of FXM set. xenia-rs decodes both as the same opcode and ignores the FXM hint, returning the entire CR. This is benign — the spec says implementations may treat `mfocrf` as `mfcr`.
- **Not synchronising.** Reorderable.
- **xenia exact match.** xenia-rs packs its eight `CrField` structs into a `u64` via `ctx.cr()`, mirroring spec semantics.
## Related Instructions
- [`mtcrf`](mtcrf.md) — inverse: write selected CR fields from a GPR.
- [`mcrf`](mcrf.md), [`mcrxr`](mcrxr.md), [`mcrfs`](mcrfs.md) — narrower CR-field moves.
- [`mfspr`](mfspr.md), [`mtspr`](mtspr.md) — generic SPR moves; CR is *not* an SPR (it has its own opcode).
`mfcr` has no simplified mnemonics. `mfocrf RT, FXM` is a related encoding handled by the same xenia-rs slot.
