* docs: step 1 of the docs/site cleanup - whitelist Pages site config, fix cross-links to excluded docs, drop game-behavior-reference index bullet
Publish only the curated set (index/building/internals/porting-notes/
dev-process/agentic-development); everything else under docs/ stays in
the repo but out of the Pages build and sitemap. Cross-links from the
published pages to excluded docs now point at GitHub blob URLs so they
still resolve. No content rewrite yet -- steps 2-5 (README update, per-
page descriptions, light copy passes, repo hygiene) remain.

* docs(dev-process): add §6 -- keep PR/git-history noise low
Squash-merge single-purpose/docs PRs, batch same-session docs updates
into one branch instead of one-PR-per-finding, keep unrelated
housekeeping off active branches, declare stacked-PR dependencies, and
triage the open-PR list every session -- close stale PRs (superseded
by newer main content) rather than force-merging or endlessly
rebasing them.
Prompted by this session's PR #26: real conflicts against main because
D191/D193/D149 were all fixed/closed since it was opened; closed
rather than rebased.
Scripted-fire repro (GE_INPUTSCRIPT, 64 Z-pulses) on -level_33 with
GE_D172=1: 40/40 particle multitex tris sample SAMPLED1=tile1 (tmem=392),
the correct RGBA fire tile (pre-fix behaviour was tile0/smoke); zero
BUG/unknown-GBI/D146-abort lines; 0 purple/magenta pixels across 28
captured frames. Row can close on a human by-eye pass (folds into the
D217 PR #47 playtest).
Static analysis found no separate/unfixed code path -- the explosion
DLs use the identical G_CC_INTERFERENCE/G_CC_MODULATEIA2 two-tile
mechanism D172 already fixed in gfx_lod_tile_offset. Not yet runtime-
confirmed (needs a scripted explosion repro on Dam with GE_D172=1).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
Added a GE_D217TEX env-gated probe (src/game/image.c, texInflateZlib)
logging texnum/numcolours/palette[0..1] straight off the decode
bitstream -- the most direct check of whether the SAME texture number
decodes to the SAME bytes across levels.
Result: texnum=1608 (the PP7 grip, confirmed by its pal0=0001 matching
the previously-documented BUNKER1-correct value) decodes IDENTICALLY on
both BUNKER1 and FACILITY. This disproves the 'different ROM bytes per
level' theory and confirms the bug is strictly downstream of a provably
correct decode.
Then built and tested the parked fix/d217-model-texture-palette
(f6fc0399, the CI-texture-cache content-hash fix, defect (2)) directly
against the FACILITY repro -- still renders green. That fix does not
close this row; defect (1) and (2) are confirmed separate bugs.
New leading theory: a stale/dangling tex->data pointer into the
texpool arena, re-resolved once and not re-checked at draw time, so a
later texture decode reusing the same arena address on a texture-heavy
level silently overwrites the grip's palette bytes. Documented as the
concrete next probe for whoever picks this up.
Probe left in tree, env-gated (GE_D217TEX), inert by default.
tools_pc/verify.sh bunker1: PASS, no regression.

Local-Qwen triage proposed hardcoding pitch=1 in gfx_dp_load_tlut
(port/fast3d/gfx_pc.cpp), on the theory that N64 LOADTLUT addressing
never strides by the SetTextureImage width. Verified by hand before
applying it, and refuted:
- gDPSetTextureImage/gSetImage (include/PR/gbi.h) pack width-1 into the
raw command field, and texWriteLoadToTmemAddr always passes width=1,
so pitch = (1-1)+1 = 1 ALREADY for every model-DL TLUT load. The
proposed patch is a no-op for this call site.
- Continuing the derivation confirms base = tex->data + len (the
documented pixel-data-then-palette layout from texInflateZlib) for
every call, regardless of the uls/ult 10-bit-field split -- the
addressing math is correct by inspection.
- tex->unk0a = numcolours - 1 exactly explains gfx_dp_load_tlut's
count = unk0a+1 term, matching the M-85 GE_D217Z count observations
precisely -- the grip tile's count=1 is a genuine 1-color palette,
not a truncated load.
New leads (neither probed this session): (a) does g_Textures[texturenum]
/_imagesSegmentRomStart resolve to identical ROM bytes across levels for
this weapon (a different image-table path than the already-ruled-out
per-model TextureID/d43_emit.py/Globalimagetable/D68 path), or (b) does
the shared texpool arena (image.c texLoad, two-ended leftpos/rightpos
allocator) serve a stale/aliased tex->data pointer for what should be a
fresh per-level decode.
Docs-only. No code changes -- the proposed patch was not applied.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
Root cause: src/game/mp_music.c's sub_GAME_7F0C0BF0() is a one-line wrapper
around get_mTrack2Vol() with no return statement. On N64/IDO the value
happened to already sit in $v0; at the PC release build's -O2 the return
register is genuinely undefined (docs/porting-notes.md D6 class, same as
D187). Every in-level music trigger goes through set_missionstate()'s
MISSION_STATE_1/4 cases (the only path that starts a level's background
track), which feeds this garbage/zero value straight into
musicTrack1ApplySeqpVol()/musicTrack3ApplySeqpVol() right before
musicTrack1Play()/musicTrack3Play() — silencing the whole track for its
entire duration while note-on processing continues normally. Front-end/menu
music bypasses set_missionstate() entirely (front.c calls musicTrack1Play()
directly), which is why it was never affected.
Fix: return the tail call under #ifdef AVOID_UB, #else keeps the N64 body
verbatim. One line, no game-logic change.
Diagnostic: added a temporary, cheap (~1/s, gated on GE_AUDIOTRACE)
[AUDIOLVL] peak/RMS probe of the exact buffer audioSetNextBuffer() hands to
SDL (port/src/audio.c), interleaved into the same audiotrace.log as the
existing csplayer.c [MUSICNOTE] probe via the shared geTracePrintf lock.
Before the fix: 173 [MUSICNOTE] events over a 28s BUNKER1 capture, but every
single [AUDIOLVL] reading (29 samples spanning the full run) read
peak=0 rms=0.0. After the fix: same note count, every [AUDIOLVL] reading
sustained non-zero (peak ~2700-10300, rms ~800-2900). tools_pc/verify.sh
bunker1: PASS, no visual regression.
Docs: docs/dev/findings.md D77 updated from stale "nothing reaches PC
speakers" framing to the actual root cause + verification; new D6 instance
logged in docs/porting-notes.md.

Dispatched to root-cause + fix D217 defect (1) (wrong palette bytes on
model-DL CI textures) confined to tools_pc/d43_*.py, working theory: a
4-byte/2-entry model-TLUT source-pointer offset in the sidecar.
Investigation refutes that theory: traced the full texture reference
chain (ModelFileTextures TextureID -> Globalimagetable -> runtime
texInflateZlib/NonZlib decode -> texWriteLoadToTmemAddr -> fast3d
gfx_dp_load_tlut) and confirmed tools_pc/d43_emit.py never touches
texture or palette content for model files - it only converts
geometry/node/GDL structure and passes TextureID through unchanged.
Reproduced the exact reported bytes with the existing GE_TEXDUMP env
probe (no code changes): BUNKER1 pal[0]=0001 (black, correct) vs
FACILITY pal[0]=1a00 (green, matches the originally reported defect)
for the same tile=1x1 CI4 grip texture.
Narrowed the likely real mechanism to port/fast3d/gfx_pc.cpp
(gfx_dp_load_tlut palette-address pitch math) interacting with
src/game/tex.c (texWriteLoadToTmemAddr's literal width=1
SetTextureImage) - both out of this dispatch's file scope, so no fix
applied per the brief's own instruction to stop and write up rather
than edit out-of-scope code.
No tools_pc/*.py files modified. docs-only commit.

run_one always idled out the full watchdog (45s/level sweep, 90s/level
single) even though the game only needs to render its intro pan +
spawn-in once -- everything after the last requested frame was wasted
wall-clock. Poll for the last frame's PPM (or a crash log) every 0.2s and
kill immediately; the watchdog stays as the hang/load-flake safety net
for a level that never gets there. Also trims the pre-launch settle
1s -> 0.3s.
Falls back to the old timeout-wrapped launch if the --dump spec doesn't
parse as lo-hi[:step] integers.
Measured: bunker1 (9 frames, 80-400:40) 45s -> 18s; dam (3 frames, default
200-440:120) 90s -> 17s. A full 21-level sweep should drop from ~16 min
toward ~6 min.

User pushed back asking whether the two PD-survey divergence notes were
architecturally sound, not just factually accurate. On review, the
SCREEN_RATIO_16_9 note overstated the plan: it's a live code path but an
old anamorphic-stretch toggle, not true wide-FOV rendering, and this
doc's own pre-existing Open Questions section already leans toward a
separate new Video.Aspect config as Option B's real trigger, leaving the
legacy flag dormant - the same separation-of-concerns choice PD itself
made, not the opposite. Not yet decided (Phase 1). Overscan note (full
frame, no crop) reviewed and confirmed sound as-is - standard modern-
remaster convention, matches Nightdive's own approach.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
Reviewed docs/dev/notes/PD-LEGACY-SURVEY.md (local Qwen agent's read-only
survey of the PD PC port for N64-legacy concepts worth modernizing/
noting) and folded its 8 candidates in:
- D224 (rumble): the stated fix is NOT sufficient alone - two upstream
blockers (CONT_CARD_ON never set; osPfsInit returns PFS_ERR_NOPACK
instead of PFS_ERR_DEVICE) sit before osMotorInit is ever reached.
Both must land alongside the SDL_GameControllerRumble wiring.
- WIDESCREEN-FOV-PLAN: recorded two deliberate GE-vs-PD divergences so
they're never mistaken for gaps - full-frame render (no PD-style
overscan crop) and keeping the SCREEN_RATIO_16_9 path GE already ships
(PD deleted its equivalent) as the widescreen mechanism.
- QOL-INVENTORY per-pad tuning row: PD's incremental hot-plug with
remembered seat is the natural implementation shape, sidesteps GE's
boot-latch controller-mask merge.
- D223 note: PD's per-player PC-controls-mode (save-compat shim) filed
for later, only relevant if P2+ keyboard input is ever a real ask.
- UNLOCKED-FPS-PLAN: PD's TickRateDivisor/ExtraSleep noted as a fallback
lever only if this plan stalls and GE stays fixed-tick.
Candidates 6/7 (MP-setup persistence, PD's PC-only gameplay options)
correctly judged net-new / rule-#2-cost-too-high by the survey - no
action, not re-noted elsewhere.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
User independently confirms D194 part (a) and suggests the fix: aim
sensitivity should scale off the same base per-pixel sensitivity as
normal hipfire-turn mouse movement, not its own disconnected AIM_GAIN/
AimBand floor+clamp curve. Noted this is orthogonal to the SOLITAIRE
scheme change (aim mode is a separate insightaimmode-gated codepath,
untouched by natural-pitch/turn) - needs its own fix either way.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
User correction (they were right): the digital-C-pitch-vs-analog-yaw
asymmetry only applies to the 1.1 HONEY scheme the port currently
forces. User recalled that 1.2 SOLITAIRE uses C-buttons for movement
(fwd/back/strafe) and gives the analog stick full continuous pitch+yaw
('natural pitch/turn') - verified in code (bondview2.c:5195-5253 digital
step movement; :5950/6008 canNaturalPitch/Turn drive
analogPitch//70.0f/analogTurn/70.0f directly, gated only by
!insightaimmode, no threshold/clamp; :4881-4882 these default to the
primary stick's raw X/Y for every 1.x scheme).
This is architecturally identical to modern FPS mouselook. Recommended
fix: force controldef=SOLITAIRE instead of HONEY, WASD -> digital step
buttons, mouse X/Y -> stick X/Y directly and continuously. Resolves the
vertical/horizontal asymmetry with zero digital-pulse emulation (D166's
hack becomes largely moot) and likely much of 'feels unresponsive' too.
Bonus: SOLITAIRE keeps the same shootButtons/invButtons roles as the
current default (not grouped with KISSY/GOODNIGHT's different button
roles), so D223's wheel-cycle plan needs no changes if SOLITAIRE is the
target. GOODNIGHT also gets natural pitch/turn but would need D223 rederived.

Sky isn't just solid black - where it renders, it scrolls too fast and
repeats too visibly (likely the M-82 phase-fold's 64-texel wrap period).
Cradle (and others) still black specifically at higher FovScale - a
third instance of the 'wide FOV exposes an edge nothing was built past'
family alongside D218 (fog/draw-distance) and D222 (culling); ties to
D176(a)'s already-logged horizon-band coverage/tessellation gap.

User ask: adjustable HUD scale for the ammo counter, bottom-left pickup/
item status text, and top-of-screen dialogue. All three route through
textRenderOutlined() (textrelated.c:688, doc comment confirms ammo
counter + bottom-left HUD messages), called from exactly two in-game
sites in bondview2.c (:10005 ammo/pickup, :10163/10165 dialogue) -
distinct from the many other callers in front.c/options.c/mpmenu.c
(menu/UI text), which must NOT be scaled by this feature (own layout,
D211 already established HUD anchors stay put). Underlying mechanism:
plain RDP gSPTextureRectangle at native glyph size, dsdx/dsdy=0x400
(1:1 texel:pixel), no scale factor in the chain. Two implementation
directions logged (surgical wrapper at the 2-3 call sites vs. a scale
param threaded through the shared function). No PD precedent. Not
designed or implemented - research only.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
User ask: a debug toggle that always enables all level access and all
cheats, for easier testing. Root-caused a single choke point:
fileGetIsCheatUnlocked() (file2.c:391) is a pure, side-effect-free
save-bitfield read that BOTH the mission-select lock (file.c:59) and the
cheat-menu availability check (frontCheckIfCheatIsUnlocked, front.c:1009)
route through. Short-circuiting it to always-true under an env flag
unlocks both surfaces in one change. Bonus: exposes leftover Rare dev
cheats otherwise unreachable (CHEAT_LINEMODE wireframe - useful for
D222-style culling bugs, CHEAT_BONDPHASE, CHEAT_DEBUG_POS/UNK5). Plan:
#ifdef PORT env-gated (GE_DEBUG_UNLOCKALL), default off = zero behavior
change, no save-data mutation. Not implemented yet.

Survey of the PD PC port for other N64-legacy things worth dropping/
modernizing (per user ask, following D223's control-preset finding).
D224: GE genuinely has a rumble subsystem (motor.c, joy.c) but the
port's osMotorInit/Start/Stop are hard stubs returning -1 / NOPACK
unconditionally - every rumble event (recoil, explosions) computes and
calls into a dead path. PD's PC port wires the equivalent straight
through to SDL_GameControllerRumble via inputRumbleSupported/inputRumble
+ a per-pad RumbleScale config + options-menu slider - same 'pretend the
N64 accessory is there' pattern this port already uses for osMemSize/
Expansion Pak, just applied to a real capability instead of faked.
Straightforward port-only fix, no game-logic touch.
Also checked and found NOT applicable here: PD's Controller Pak
formatting UI has no GE equivalent (front.c has no PFS/pak menu code),
so there's no dead UI to hide there.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
User asked what the PD PC port did about N64 controller presets for
mouse/keyboard. Checked: PD doesn't route through the N64 controller-
config enum at all - it has its own logical CK_* control-key layer fully
decoupled from it, and treats mouse-wheel-up/-down as two independent
bindable virtual keys (not a single 'wheel = cycle' event). PD's
controldef is hardcoded, not left to the in-game control-style picker.
This GE port already has the equivalent layer: D214's Input.Bind system.
Recommendation logged: add IA_WEAPON_NEXT/IA_WEAPON_PREV bindable
actions that synthesize the invButtons/shootButtons combo, default-bound
to wheel up/down and open for a future gamepad-bumper default; force a
single fixed controldef so the synthesis target is stable. Matches the
user's broader direction (N64 presets aren't meaningful for mouse/kb;
modern Xbox/PS support should be first-class, not routed through N64
presets). Not implemented - design note only.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
User confirms the glitched-color/missing-texture symptom also shows on
NPC-held weapon models (other characters' guns in third person), not
just Bond's 1P viewmodel / 3P world model. Points at the shared
weapon-model-DL/TLUT loading path in general rather than anything
Bond-model-specific.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
QoL ask: wheel up = next weapon, wheel down = previous, instead of both
directions cycling forward. Root-caused: GE already computes separate
weaponForwardOffset/weaponBackOffset signals from
invButtons(A)+shootButtons(Z) held/edge combos (bondview2.c:5338-5347,
the N64 'hold A tap Z' backward-cycle trick); triggerOn is suppressed
while invButtons is held so this never accidentally fires. Port's
inputPostWheel() discards wheel direction and only ever synthesizes the
forward (bare A pulse) case. Fix is port-only (input.c), synthesize the
A-held+G-edge combo for wheel-down instead - no game-logic change.
Open question: which N64 controldef preset is actually active in port
saves, since invButtons/shootButtons differ per preset.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
Split out of D211's 'cosmetic edge-cull-early' caveat - user confirms
this is a real functional bug, not cosmetic: NPCs and some world objects
stop rendering near screen edges at high FovScale. Root cause: frustum
cull / visibility math still runs at nominal unscaled fovy while the
render projection is portFovScale-widened. Fix direction + a real risk
flagged: some of these cull call sites may double as AI
awareness/visibility checks, not just render culling - must audit before
changing so portFovScale never leaks into NPC behavior (non-negotiable
#2, game logic unmodified).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
D211/WIDESCREEN-FOV-PLAN: user wants Video.FovScale exposed as a real
horizontal-or-vertical degree value instead of the current
percent-of-original-vertical-FOV scale. Not critical, backlogged. Noted
the cleaner path (relabel as degrees, drop the percent indirection) vs
keeping percent internally and just displaying the computed degrees.
D218: user confirms the high-FOV draw-distance/fog artifact still
occurs, and now wants Video.DrawDistance implemented (previously
declined) plus broadened to draw-distance/LOD in general, not just the
fog-boundary case this row root-caused. Open question logged: does GE
have a separate object/geometry LOD-swap distance mechanism worth
exposing, or is Visibility.FarFog the whole story.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
User wants overall mouse feel closer to Quake Remaster / the Perfect Dark
PC port (raw, direct, responsive) while explicitly preserving GE's
aim-mode vs hipfire split (the reason D118/D194 exist). Reframes the fix
order: normalize by a fixed reference dt first (D194 part b, the
frame-rate coupling - likely the dominant cause of 'feels
unresponsive'), then re-derive the aim-mode curve, and evaluate raw
PD/Quake-style hipfire mouse-look as a real option outside aim mode
rather than assuming N64 stick-emulation is mandatory everywhere.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
D178 (briefing objectives blank) and D149 (front-end 3D models garbled) -

D182 (file-select round-trip degradation) - still broken, confirmed.
D77 (no music) - rescoped: music plays on intro/cast-roll/main menu, only
missing in-level. Points at the level-start music cue, not the
mixer/playback layer.
D221 (new): SELECT FILE mouse hit-box vertically offset from the visible
box (click below a file to select it) under the shipped default
MouseCaptureMode=1 - distinct from D192's clamp-range bug under legacy

D173: Bond hover/float cutscene glitch still present.
D148/D160: new specific instance - Bond spins in circles in some
cutscenes (end-of-Cradle Trevelyan-falls cutscene named) - likely same

D211: user-verified good at big FovScale.
D217: playtest matrix across weapons/levels (PPK/AK47/M16, Dam/Facility/
Jungle) - green, blue, white (missing), orange, all consistent with the
per-weapon-material upstream theory, not one fixed offset. Watch still
green.
D219 (new): PPK explosions render purple on Dam - likely D172 particle-
color family, different DL.
D220 (new): 1P muzzle flash shifts upward at higher FovScale (Jungle
M16) - likely same unscaled-viewmodel-fovy root as D211's residual
caveat.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
D217: two defects found. (1) The visible green grip/hand is upstream of
fast3d — the grip's count=1 model G_LOADTLUT is fed different source bytes
per level (Facility 1a 00 -> 0x1A00 green; Bunker 00 01 -> black); every
larger model TLUT carries a 2-entry leading zero pad, so the port's
model-TLUT source pointer is likely 4 bytes low (or a d43_emit.py blob
offset). fast3d byteswap is correct (proven by Bunker). (2) A real CI
texture-cache collision (no palette-content key) — fix landed on branch
fix/d217-model-texture-palette f6fc0399 (palette FNV-1a hash in the CI
key); owes a 21-level sweep; does not fix (1). porting-notes + graphics-
backlog updated.
D211: aim-zoom compose verified correct by construction (single post-lerp
multiply at the fr.c chokepoint; zoom ratio preserved). Only a low-risk
cosmetic eyeball remains (viewmodel/frustum-cull use unscaled fovy).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016TaKy6AAsVUTfjkhrX6CjG
GE_D217Z experiment (zero rdp.palette[count..255] after each partial
load) did NOT change the green grip -> bad texels index within [0..count),
so the wrong palette is *bound* to the grip tile, not tail overflow.
Best remaining theory: TextureCacheKey collision / missing CI-cache
invalidation on palette change (key has no palette-content hash). Facility
renders green-uniformed guards right before the viewmodel -> a stale
cache HIT / palette_addrs collision makes the grip decode against the
guard-fatigue palette. Next probes + the all-levels regression
requirement noted in the finding.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01U7gyYC3pcatXHhD1kPCgsR
User confirms D217 is widespread (many levels, multiple weapons), not
Facility-specific. GE_D217 temp probe (reverted) shows GE weapon/character
model DLs issue partial-count G_LOADTLUT commands (count 1/28/125/172/193/
...); count=125 writes rdp.palette[0..124] and leaves [125..255] holding
the previous TLUT's entries, which differ per level. Weapon TLUT sequence
is identical BUNKER1 vs FACILITY (same PP7) + tiles import palidx=0
cache=HIT, so the delta is purely which stale upper-palette entry a weapon
CI8 texel lands in when it indexes >= its palette count. Root cause open:
CI8 decode reading past the base image (RC2/D183) vs GE relying on N64
TMEM-TLUT leftover semantics. Concrete next probes + a zero-the-tail
experiment noted in the finding. Wants a dedicated debug session.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01U7gyYC3pcatXHhD1kPCgsR
BUNKER1 is clean in any config; -level_34 FACILITY reproduces at ~frame
300 (just after the vent-drop cutscene). PP7 grip = solid green block,
green ring at the barrel joint, hand has a green cast; slide/barrel upper
is correct black. GE_TEXI confirms the weapon CI tiles import with a
loaded TLUT (fmt=2 palfmt=0x8000 palidx=0) -> gDPLoadTLUT does reach
gfx_pc.cpp for model DLs. Green-tinted hand => wrong TLUT bound, not
corrupt index data. Working theory: FACILITY pre-level cutscene leaves
fast3d palette/tile state (or a TextureCacheKey collision on
rdp.palette_addrs[] at gfx_pc.cpp:990) that the cutsceneless BUNKER1
never hits. Next steps + suggested subagent scope in the finding.
