Reversed create/set/draw-texture handlers + gfx_render_frame: surfaces at ctx+0x52bd4[slot]
(set-texture loads a file with a colorkey); objects in the ctx+0x408 registry reference a
surface by slot (live) + rect + position (V24) + visible bit; render iterates the registry
in ASCENDING HANDLE ORDER (= z-order) and composites visible objects. Answers both unknowns
(z-order = handle; slot 0 not special). Design spec + Phase 1 plan rebuilt on this model,
replacing the flawed flat-layer version. Ghidra annotated (gfx_op_0x1f8/9/b, gfx_object_bind_draw,
gfx_render_frame, gfx_object_composite, gfx_op_0x20c_present_frame).

Typed ITraceSink/TraceEvent seam in Age.Engine (zero deps, allocation-free
hot path); relocate CallScript/OnStub off IHost; Null + Text sinks; CLI
--trace; Godot dispatch hack retired onto a sink. Serilog/EventSource
deferred to optional edge sinks.

Design for making call-script actually execute (load target .BIN by id,
run nested sharing globals, return to caller). Scope: subroutine
execution only. Drops vm0.py from oracle duty; C# owns golden traces.

Stand up bethington/ghidra-mcp loop; prove it by reversing SCJUMP's native
decision->scene resolver. Raw-dump-first, pe-sieve fallback; findings -> docs/engine-re.md.

Guarded-DFS decode of SCJUMP's DAG into (chapter, guards)->decision table;
VM witness cross-check; native decision->scene boundary documented/deferred.

Curated single-source global registry modeled on opcodes.toml; static

Recon of SC0000 label_12649 shows sprite/background geometry is computed in
bytecode; the only missing native primitive is 0x208 get-texture-size. Spec:
implement 0x208 (host returns real image dims) + a faithful 800x600 blit
compositor; defer fades/chromakey/multi-surface. Headless `gfx` diagnostic as
numeric oracle; --selftest/trace parity preserved.

Reverse-engineering + open reimplementation workspace for Eushully's AGE/SYS4
engine (first target: Himegari). The repo root is age-reimpl/; the original game
install and the extracted ALF data are siblings outside the repo and are never
tracked. build/ (derived corpora) is gitignored and regenerated by the tools.
