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)

## Operands
| Field | Role | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `RA0` | lvrx: read; lvrx128: read | Source GPR; when the encoded register number is 0 the operand is the literal 64-bit zero, **not** `r0`. |
| `RB` | lvrx: read; lvrx128: read | Source GPR. |
| `VD` | lvrx: write; lvrx128: write | Destination vector register. |
## Register Effects
### `lvrx`
- **Reads (always):** `RA0`, `RB`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `VD`
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
### `lvrx128`
- **Reads (always):** `RA0`, `RB`
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
- **Writes (always):** `VD`
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
## Status-Register Effects
_No condition-register or status-register effects._
## 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
- **Load-right half of an unaligned vector.** `lvrx` reads `(EA mod 16)` bytes at the addresses *just below* `EA & ~0xF` (i.e., the bytes from the previous aligned line that fall on the right side of the unaligned vector) and places them in the **right** (low-address-byte → high-lane) of the destination; the left lanes are zero-filled.
- **Standard pair-mate of [`lvlx`](lvlx.md).** The recipe `lvlx VD, RA, RB ; lvrx Vtmp, RA, (RB+16) ; vor VD, VD, Vtmp` (or some alignment-aware variant) reconstructs the unaligned 16 bytes spanning the boundary at `EA`.
- **Right vs. left semantics.** "Right" refers to lower-numbered (high-significance) lanes after rotation, not in any byte-address sense — see PowerISA Cell BE addenda for the exact bit-position formulas.
- **No alignment masking.** Like `lvlx`, the exact `EA` is used; the value `EA mod 16` controls how data is rotated.
- **`RA0` semantics.** `RA = 0` selects literal zero.
- **Implementation in xenia.** The shared snapshot calls `vmx::load_vector_right(mem, ea)`, returning a zero-filled left side and the requested right-bytes payload.
- **Microsoft Xbox 360 specific.** Part of VMX128 / Cell BE, not in baseline Altivec.
- **VMX128 sibling (`lvrx128`).** Identical semantics; alternative operand encoding.
- **`lvrxl` is the LRU-hint variant.** Same data; cache hint ignored under emulation.
