Research pass (local Qwen delegate, repo-mapper role, findings spot-checked
against the actual files):
- filelist.u.csv hard-coding in d43_emit.py/d69_emit.py is confirmed real
(converts PAL/JP ROMs with NTSC byte offsets); per-region filelist.e.csv/
.j.csv already exist and have the same shape, so the fix is narrow. Real
remaining unknown: whether modelFileHeader.inc.c's NS/NT differ cross-
region (needs an actual PAL/JP ROM to check).
- Native converter output path for Part B nailed down exactly:
data/pcmodels-<region>/{pcmodels.bin,manifest.csv} and
data/pccg-<region>/{pccg.bin,manifest.csv}, via pcmodels.c/pccg.c's
existing $S//$E//./ + country-byte region resolution.
- Part B's CMake codegen scope narrowed to one real artifact: a 512-entry
model-symbol -> (NS,NT) table from modelFileHeader.inc.c. Everything else
the emitters read is either runtime-readable from disk or a small
hand-transcribable constant.
- docs/dev/release-dropin-rom-plan.md: proposal for a 'download zip, drop
in your ROM, double-click' release — covers the romassets/pcmodels/pccg
sidecar gap (D179), a native first-run converter, CI and region handling.
- docs/_includes/head-custom.html: render fenced mermaid blocks on the
docs site (kramdown code fence -> mermaid.run, theme-aware).
- CLAUDE.md: 'Local Qwen dispatch' section — tools, worker list, the
dispatch rubric, backend reality, and the cmd.exe spot-check quirk.
