- tools_pc/bundle-linux.sh: package a Linux build (exe + README + licenses +
prepare-assets) as a .tar.gz. Mirrors bundle-win.sh's ROM / size guards and
prepare-assets assembly. No shared libs bundled — the generated README tells
the user to install SDL2 / zlib / libGL from their distro.
- tools_pc/dist/README.md.in: made OS-neutral via @PLATFORM@ / @EXE@ / @DEPS@ /
@LICENSE_EXTRA@ tokens; refreshed the known-issues list (dropped the stale
"ladders don't work" line — D177 fixed M-36; added black sky + missing HUD
weapon icon).
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: linux-build now packages + uploads the Linux
bundle; the release job attaches both platforms to the draft pre-release.
- .github/release-notes.md: rewritten for the two-platform NTSC-U alpha with
the prepare-assets step and current known issues.
Alpha scope: NTSC-U only, one-time prepare-assets step (Part A launcher and
Part B native converter from release-dropin-rom-plan.md remain follow-ups).

- src/bondtypes.h's `#define inherits struct` makes the base an unnamed
tagged member and reads its fields directly. mingw32 GCC enables this via
implicit -fms-extensions; native GCC does not -> "'ObjectRecord' has no
member named 'type'". Add -fplan9-extensions (C only) for non-MinGW.
- Pin the CI job to ubuntu-24.04 + gcc-14 so the first Linux bring-up chases
real portability gaps, not old-GCC pedantry (dev toolchain is GCC 16).
validate only CMake-configures on Ubuntu; it never compiles, so GCC-on-Linux
strictness gaps (implicit declarations, -Wint-conversion, missing includes,
MinGW-only builtins) stay invisible until someone builds on a real Linux box.
Add linux-build: system GCC, `cmake --build` for ntsc-final. Green here means
"compiles + links on Linux", not a runtime claim (the port has never run on
Linux). Not wired as a required check yet.
Pairs with the romdata POSIX mmap patch on this branch (per docs/dev/LINUX-PORT.md).
The pull_request trigger already has paths-ignore (**.md, docs/**,
LICENSE, NOTICE), but push to main deliberately has none so tag builds
always run and the required check never hangs pending. A docs-only merge
to main therefore still ran a full ~15 min Windows build for nothing.
Add a lightweight 'changes' job (pure git diff against github.event.before,
no third-party action) that mirrors those globs. validate + windows-build
now gate on needs.changes.outputs.code == 'true'; the job forces true for
tags and for pull_request / workflow_dispatch, so only docs-only branch
pushes are skipped. Skipped required checks report green to branch
protection.
- tools_pc/bundle-win.sh: package a Windows build for distribution — exe +
MinGW/SDL2/zlib runtime DLLs + README + license texts, into
dist/goldeneye-pc-port-<ver>-win64/{,.zip,.zip.sha256}. Hard-fails if a
ROM image or an oversized blob lands in the bundle; verifies the DLL
closure with ldd.
- tools_pc/dist/README.md.in: the bundled README template (ROM-supply
instructions, run steps, controls, legal), @VERSION@-substituted.
- CI: build tag trigger (v*); windows-build now packages the bundle every
run and uploads it; new release job (tags only, contents: write scoped
to it) attaches the bundle to a DRAFT pre-release for a human to
smoke-test and publish.
- README: Download section + Legal reworded to cover pre-built binaries
(engine only, no game data, permissive runtime libs bundled with their
licenses).
- .gitignore: /dist/ (root bundle output; tools_pc/dist/ template stays
tracked).
Cutting a release: tag vX.Y.Z-alpha, push; CI builds + drafts the
pre-release; smoke-test with a ROM, then Publish.

- README: attract-mode stills + demo GIF as the hero row, status/warning
callouts, metrics table, "Contents" index, doc-index table; simplified
the two-agent workflow diagram (LR -> TD, fewer edges) for GitHub web
- Table-of-contents indexes added to internals.md, porting-notes.md,
agentic-development.md, AUDIO-PLAN.md
- CI: add Windows/MSYS2 build job, minimal token (contents: read),
persist-credentials: false, concurrency group; run on main + master.
validate job regenerates the US ROM-asset symbol file only and configures
ntsc-final (PAL/JP need a region ROM; no ROM is used in CI)
- .github: SECURITY.md, issue forms + chooser config, PR template,
labels.yml, dependabot (Actions, monthly)
- Do not track the proprietary SGI IRIX IDO toolchain or SGIImageViewer.exe;
document in SetupGuide.md / building.md how to obtain IDO for N64 ROM
builds (the PC port does not need it)
- Stop tracking two committed *.pyc files; drop stale screenshots and a
redundant .gitignore line; misc doc cross-reference fixes
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GULf6knbsqfsnW39tMr9WT
- README: "not playable yet" callout under the screenshots (no audio,
broken front-end models/text, expect crashes past the level intro).
- README/building.md/ci.yml: platform testing is Windows-only. The Linux
build is provided but has had zero functional testing at runtime; the
CI job is a CMake-configure smoke test, not a Linux-support claim.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UpTM1AcBRJuTetoZNcCD5V
- README, LICENSE (MIT for the port layer), NOTICE, CONTRIBUTING.
- Restructure docs: internals.md, porting-notes.md, dev-process.md +
dev/agentic-development.md (the research write-up), dev/ (raw record).
- Replace decomp status-badge CI with a PC-port validate workflow.
- Remove session/agent scaffolding and stale planning docs from the tree.
- Add .gitattributes (normalize line endings to LF); add screenshots.
The pre-2026-08 history is the GoldenEye 007 decompilation by Larry Ficken
(KholdFuzion) and contributors, preserved unchanged. The PC-port work from
2026-08-17 on is mine.
