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)

# `fsubx` — Floating Subtract
> **Category:** [Floating-Point](../categories/fpu.md) · **Form:** [A](../forms/A.md) · **Opcode:** `0xfc000028`
<!-- GENERATED: BEGIN -->
## Assembler Mnemonics
| Mnemonic | XML entry | Flags | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `fsub` | `fsubx` | — | Floating Subtract |
| `fsub.` | `fsubx` | Rc=1 | Floating Subtract |
## Syntax
```asm
fsub[Rc] [FD], [FA], [FB]
```
## Encoding
### `fsubx` — form `A`
- **Opcode word:** `0xfc000028`
- **Primary opcode (bits 05):** `63`
- **Extended opcode:** `20`
- **Synchronising:** no
| Bits | Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 05 | `OPCD` | primary opcode (59 or 63) |
| 610 | `FRT` | destination FPR |
| 1115 | `FRA` | source A FPR |
| 1620 | `FRB` | source B FPR |
| 2125 | `FRC` | source C FPR (multiplier for madd-style ops) |
| 2630 | `XO` | extended opcode (5 bits) |
| 31 | `Rc` | record-form flag (updates CR1) |
## Operands
| Field | Role | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `FA` | fsubx: read | Source A floating-point register (`fr0``fr31`). |
| `FB` | fsubx: read | Source B floating-point register. |
| `FD` | fsubx: write | Destination floating-point register. |
| `CR` | fsubx: write (conditional) | Condition-register update. When `Rc=1`, CR field 0 (or CR6 for vector compares, CR1 for FPU) is updated from the result. |
| `FPSCR` | fsubx: write | Floating-Point Status and Control Register. |
## Register Effects
### `fsubx`
- **Reads (always):** `FA`, `FB`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `FD`, `FPSCR`
- **Writes (conditional):** `CR`
## Status-Register Effects
- `fsubx`: **CR1** ← FPSCR[FX, FEX, VX, OX] when `Rc=1`.; **FPSCR** updated per IEEE-754 flags (FX, FEX, FPRF, FR, FI, exceptions).
## Operation (pseudocode)
```
FRT <- FRA FRB
```
## 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
- **Double precision.** `fsub` operates on IEEE-754 binary64. The single-precision sibling is [`fsubsx`](fsubsx.md), which rounds the result to binary32 before re-encoding it into the 64-bit FPR.
- **`±∞ ±∞` is the canonical invalid case.** Same-signed infinity subtraction (or opposite-signed addition) yields `QNaN(VXISI)` and sets `FPSCR[VXISI, VX, FX]`.
- **FPSCR side effects.** Hardware updates `FPRF`, `FR`, `FI`, `FX` plus exception bits `OX`, `UX`, `XX`, `VXISI`, `VXSNAN` as appropriate. xenia-rs's interpreter does **not** model FPSCR updates — a xenia quirk that almost never matters in practice.
- **`Rc=1` (`fsub.`)** writes `CR1` from `FPSCR[FX, FEX, VX, OX]`.
- **NaN propagation.** Any NaN operand yields a quiet NaN; a signalling NaN input is quietened (signalling bit cleared) per PowerISA. Host `f64 -` is relied on for the value.
- **Sign of zero.** `+0 +0 = +0` in round-to-nearest, `0` in round-toward-negative-infinity. xenia inherits host semantics.
- **Denormal flush.** Xenon boots with `FPSCR[NI]=1` (non-IEEE mode) so subnormal results flush to zero on hardware. Xenia produces IEEE-compliant denormals from the host FPU; titles relying on flush-to-zero typically see no observable difference for game logic but may see subtle differences in audio DSP.
- **Encoding.** A-form, primary 63, XO 20. `FRC` is don't-care for sub.
