One translation chain serves every game, so a translator or host change was checked
only on its author's games; on another game the first sign was a crash at run time
(c3a0880 broke the image atomics of SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V, Yoshi's Crafted World and
FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE).
- CI: the tool-tests job installs .NET 10, spirv-cross and spirv-tools and points
DMSH_TEST_XLATE at the committed translator, so the translator's synthetic-shader
tests (test_image_atomic_bounds, test_dmsh_geometry) run on every change.
test_dmsh_geometry imports its sibling module when run from the repository root.
- dm/gfx/tools/shader_regressions.py: lists the shaders that translated in the
game's previous b-*/ and fail in the current chain's, from dmsh_build.py's build
reports (not part of the chain). The NSP script runs it after its shader step and
stops on a regression unless ALLOW_SHADER_REGRESSIONS / --allow-shader-regressions;
docs/development.md describes it.
- FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE: the c3a0880 regression is resolved since 2e655b7 (image
atomics with a used result): chain 39e4d9585b1d builds 73,488 of 73,496 shaders
(the 8 3D image atomics as before), shader_regressions.py finds 0 against the
earlier build, and a new game from an empty save plays the opening cutscene on
the Mac with no red line; the two shaders that failed and aborted run their
atomics on their buffer textures.
Checked: every CI test file as the job runs it (DMSH_TEST_XLATE set), the docs tests.
(cherry picked from commit b117c91317)
Register GL and GLB entries in the shared HLE import table so direct imports and eglGetProcAddress reach the same implementations, retaining big-stack wrappers. Add regression and CI coverage for all 156 GL entries and document issue #228.
Display mode at 120 Hz previously waited two display-link ticks per frame
and stayed at 60 fps. Count its acquire waits in the link's own ticks so
120 fps takes one tick. Carry fractional ticks across frames so requests
such as 90 fps on a 120 Hz link wait four ticks per three frames.
Keep game-interval and frame-step pacing in 60 Hz vsync units. Extend
t_link_ticks through the production acquire path, add it to CPU-only CI,
and document the behavior in the frame-rate reference and symptom index.
Validation: 20 link-tick checks, 154 NVN integration checks, pacing and
frame-step tests, Metal snapshot and display-link rescue tests, Mac host
build, iOS source compilation, and documentation checks passed. Physical
display gameplay and iPhone gameplay were not retested.

Add pinned ruff and pyright checks, the existing-findings baseline, and a
workflow that rejects new findings and requires fixed findings to be removed.
Compare checker pins numerically and permit baseline growth only for the
checker whose release version increased. Comments, unrelated dependency
edits and downgrades retain the guard. Add 10 regression tests using Git
trees and document the policy.
Validation: 14 guard/documentation tests pass; pinned lint reports 414
existing findings, zero new findings and zero stale baseline entries.

Use the edited checkout for every game, persist identity, verify archives, preserve existing outputs, and reject concurrent builds. Include applicability triage for 57 open upstream PRs and 20 commits after the stable base.

Integrate fast shared-event wakeups, per-segment publication, array-slice
pass merging, and independent compute dispatch hoisting from the PRs.
Serialize CPU completion effects before publishing completed fences and
validate recycled post records. Preserve submission order for early waits.
Guard scheduling against attachment aliases, first-draw and bindless
reads, indirect ranges, stencil writes, and explicit barriers. Add direct
Metal regression coverage and a gated CPU completion race test with TSAN.
Record final BotW and Metroid Dread gameplay validation with optimizations
on and off. BotW retains fewer render passes, but the measured 60 Hz M4
Pro runs do not establish a timing speedup. Keep the original higher-load
and iOS performance claims explicitly unverified.

Add periodic encoder profiles with attachment traffic and formats, alternating A/B measurement phases, bounded Metal trace capture, and gpuprof.py log summaries. Preserve main's offline pipeline-archive integration while adding the capture build setting.
Close periodic samples at frame boundaries through the last committed shared-event fence, so every:1 reports without mixing frames or reusing an unresolved heap. Add 28 CPU checks of production profiling code and include them in CI; document the mechanism and update the symptom index.
Validated with all 31 CI-style Python test files, the profiling regression, a Mac host build, and all 133 iOS source compiles. Profiling completion and heap ownership were checked with synthetic counter/event objects; no new real-GPU or gameplay validation.

Hold the host frame step at 30 fps while iOS reports serious or critical
thermal pressure, and restore its configured cap after 30 calm seconds.
Keep the existing movie cap and DM_THERMAL_CAP=0 override.
Sample thermal state independently of movies and configured 30 fps targets
so heating resets recovery and cooling counts during playback. Serialize
the sample, cached cap and recovery timer across acquire/present readers.
The original PR failed five timing checks and ThreadSanitizer detected a
race through concurrent production cap getters.
Add controlled-clock production-path regressions and CI coverage, including
disabled/inactive caps and ThreadSanitizer. Record the shared mechanism
and validation limits in the frame-rate reference and BotW note.
Validated on latest main with the BotW profile: 24 thermal checks normally
and under ThreadSanitizer, 51 frame-step checks, 154 NVN checks, the
present-snapshot suite, 21 tool/docs checks, Mac host build, and iOS compile
check (133 sources). No new device gameplay or thermal recovery run.

GetVibrationDeviceHandles used routed haptics availability to decide whether
handles existed. Games that cache this answer at startup could retain an empty
answer after a controller connected. Return handles for a connected npad style
when rumble is enabled and an output sink is installed; check routed outputs
when values are sent, keeping the existing permission and lifecycle behavior.
Include the PR's rumble diagnostics, count unroutable values individually in
mixed batches, and protect aggregate counters across game threads. Correct the
code comment to describe Unicorn Overlord's observed empty handles and zero
values without claiming restored physical rumble.
Add regressions for cached startup handles delivering a nonzero value after
routing, diagnostic totals and concurrent sends. Include HID in the existing
ThreadSanitizer target and record the mechanism in the service reference.
Checked with GAME=010069401ADB8000: full host suite, 73 HID checks, audio and HID
ThreadSanitizer checks, docs checks, Mac host build, and iOS compilation
(133 files). Physical rumble and iOS runtime remain untested. Broader tool
validation is incomplete because Capstone is missing and iconutil failed.

Decode packaged byte 0 as separate block-height and block-depth nibbles,
including explicit zero dimensions, and size linear compressed textures
by pixel rows. Port the driver-derived rules from PR #201 and preserve
its attribution to digitalhivehub's PR #11 measurements.
Integrate the layout test with current main, correct its BC4 label, add
independently addressed CPU markers and packaged GPU mip coverage, and
record the mechanisms in the reference docs and symptom index.
Validation: 9 driver shapes, 189 CPU texture checks (also ASan/UBSan),
17 GPU deswizzle cases, 154 NVN checks, documentation checks, Mac host
build, and iOS compilation of 133 sources pass. No new gameplay or
iPhone runtime validation.

Switch active-app presents to drawable acquisition after 500 ms of display-link
silence, then retry with exponential backoff capped at 60 seconds. Preserve the
requested pacing mode, synchronize rescue state, and prevent focus timestamp
underflow from bypassing the foreground grace period.
Add CPU regression coverage in CI, a real Metal layer ownership check, and the
mechanism reference with upstream provenance and validation limits.
Validated: 43 CPU rescue checks; 47 checks with real Metal drawable acquisition;
34 present/crop and 10 pacing checks; Wonder Mac host build; all 133 iOS source
compile checks; documentation tests. Windowed gameplay recovery and iPhone
validation remain outstanding.
