James Dansereau 97c7e38845 D320: resolve sweep via forced repro — ai_19/ai_9 pins confirmed, ai_12 clean; watchdog generalized (table-driven + uncapped repeat rescue); D318 N64-manifestation corrected (unverified; 1964 deliberate-timing A/B armed)
Also commits the prior session's carried-uncommitted set: D294 room-pool
fix (sqrt + 2x cap, user-verified state), D324 stdlib-shim prototypes,
D323 explicit-LOD census + tools_pc tooling, GRAPHICS-BACKLOG row.
texdump*/ probe artifacts gitignored.

tools_pc/ — PC-port dev & test scripts

Index for the ~60 scripts here (speed-ups plan Step 4 / N2). None of these are part of the build; they are converters, verification tooling, and investigation artifacts.

Marker:

  • living — kept and re-run; part of the verification ritual, the release flow, or a converter the build depends on (via the sidecars it emits).
  • artifact — added to chase one finding. Safe to move to tools_pc/archive/<dxx>/ once that finding is closed and the technique is captured in docs/dev/findings.md / docs/porting-notes.md.

Living — converters the sidecars depend on

Script Role
d43_emit.py Offline N64→PC model-file converter → RZ sidecar + manifest.csv (D50 / Plan B). Regen after any model-format change.
d43_convert.py Reference single-file model converter + full-512 layout/pointer validator (D43).
d69_emit.py Offline converter for stage bg/*.seg + Tbg_*_stanZ → concatenated sidecar (D69/D78–D82).
d88_emit.py Offline converter for per-level Usetup*Z stage-setup files → appended to the pccg.bin sidecar (D88).
d88_propdefs.py The propDefs polymorphic-record stream N64→PC converter used by d88_emit.py (D88.4).
d69_emit.py / d88_emit.py / d43_emit.py Run all three (+ d88_propdefs) to rebuild data/ sidecars from the ROM.

Living — verification & release

Script Role
verify.sh Speed-ups plan Step 2. One command → one verdict: build-if-stale, headless GE_PCDUMP/GE_INPUTSCRIPT capture, crash-detect + symbolication (via crash_brief.py), pixcount, framediff vs golden, --json. verify.sh <level>, verify.sh sweep [subset], verify.sh parity <level> --against <dir>.
crash_brief.py Speed-ups plan Step 9 / R5. ge007.crash.log → symbolicated frames + a dev-process.md-shaped dispatch-ready brief: matches porting-notes.md sections / findings-index.csv entries by resolved function/file, flags known parked-crash signatures (Cuba credits, D188 va_list, D189 stack overrun) so agents stop re-investigating them. Called automatically by verify.sh on CRASH; also runnable standalone.
framediff.py Visual regression: candidate GE_PCDUMP frames vs tools_pc/golden/, per-region divergence. Structural/tolerant by default; --exact after GE_DETERM.
pixcount.py Count non-black pixels in a PPM dump — "did the scene render anything" as a number.
level_sweep.sh Bare -level_XX boot of all 21 solo levels → PASS / NO-FRAMES / CRASH. Predates verify.sh sweep; kept as the battle-tested full-21-level runner until verify.sh sweep has done an equivalent soak.
playtest.sh Launch a level for docs/dev/LEVEL-PLAYTEST.md human validation (WS6).
audiodebug.ps1 Audio counterpart to debug.ps1 (that one is for crashes; this one is for audio behaviour). Drives the GE_D204 health monitor + GE_AUDIOTRACE/GE_AUDIODUMP and prints a pass/fail verdict: real-time ratio, queue starvation, dropped blocks, oversized blocks, plus a soundIndex histogram. -AB runs the same binary twice (with and without GE_D204_OLD) and prints a before/after table — how D204 was measured. -Play for an instrumented interactive playtest (the D202 workflow), -Soak for a 5-min stability run, -SyncData to mirror ./data first.
debug.ps1 / repro_gdb.sh / attach_animgen.sh Launch (or attach to) the game under gdb so a crash always leaves a backtrace.
bundle-win.sh / bundle-linux.sh Package a built tree as a distributable archive (exe + licenses + prepare-assets/).
romverify.c One-shot .z64 integrity check against the repo's ground truths.
dump_objectives.py Dump per-level objectives + win/fail criteria from the ROM (playtest validation; Step 10 / N8 acceptance oracle).
disasm.py Minimal MIPS disassembler for the BE ROM (RAM-addr → file offset).
ppm2bmp.py PPM → 24-bit BMP, no deps — eyeball GE_PCDUMP frames without PIL.
gen_findings_index.py Regenerate docs/dev/findings-index.csv (grep-before-you-read aid for the 200 KB finding log). --check in CI-style use.
gen_env_probes.py Drift check for docs/dev/GE-ENV-PROBES.md — re-greps live getenv("GE_*") sites, reports NEW/GONE.

Living — compiler-verified layout probes (kept: re-run when structs change)

Script Role
d43_layoutprobe.c Prints sizeof/offsetof for every struct d43_emit.py must reproduce, built with the port toolchain.
d88_layoutprobe.c Same, for the PROPDEF_* record structs d88_emit.py converts.
mtxtest.c Standalone numerical test of the fast3d matrix pipeline conventions (GE swapped-perspective, packing, MUL order).

Investigation artifacts — D43 model-file format (finding closed; archive candidates)

d43_chainbound.py, d43_cover.py, d43_decode.py, d43_fullwalk.py, d43_gdldump.py, d43_gdlhist.py, d43_gdlorder.py, d43_gdlseq.py, d43_invariants.py, d43_layout.py, d43_layout1.py, d43_lutscan.py, d43_pointusage.py, d43_seg5.py, d43_seg5ops.py, d43_seg5vtx.py, d43_seg5vtx2.py, d43_sizes.py, d43_sizes2.py, d43_tree_dump.py, d43_vtxfmt.py, d43_walk.py — layout/pointer/GDL-order analysis passes that derived the D43 converter spec. d43_sizes.py is still exec()'d by a couple of the others.

Investigation artifacts — other closed/parked findings

Script Finding
d125_check.py D125 — is the emitted propDefs blob byte-identical to d88_propdefs.convert_stream()?
d88_propdef_scan.py D88.4 — histogram of PROPDEF_* record types across shipped levels.
d51_gdb.py / dump_animgen.cmd D51 texture-tile crash capture / Facility-outro-hang anim-state dump (gdb scripts).
