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.

Compile eligible shader-pair bases on the Mac with metal-tt, package one
archive per selected iPhone GPU, and use a matching bundle before falling
back to on-device preparation. Carry the profile depth mode through packing
and include the pulling libraries required by the bundled bases.
Integrate PR #226 with four confirmed fixes: validate archive container
bounds before invoking Metal; require at least one actual successful bundle
probe; hash consumed library bytes into offline cache keys; and emit device
remainder lists for constant-only plans instead of aborting packaging.
Keep game measurements in the game note and document the general findings.
Validation on current main: 52 real Metal bundle checks, 57 archive checks,
79 prewarm checks on each pipeline path, 73 Python regressions covering
offline tools, packaging, documentation and chain checks, and compilation
of all 133 iOS source files. No new iPhone gameplay validation. The archive guard validates
container structure, not private Metal payloads.

Drop unused normal-pass colour-target blend and mask state from pipeline keys.
Normalize historical prewarm rows and deduplicate their parsed keys before
compilation, preserving merged passes' logical target state.
Include production-path GPU regression coverage and the reference/game notes.
Validated on the latest main: Wonder host build, key serialization tests,
48 pending-pipeline checks, 48 archive checks, 158 prewarm GPU checks across
MTLDevice and Metal 4, and documentation checks. The regression fails on the
original base and detects wrong pixels if the merged-pass guard is removed.

Exercise historical manifest rows through the production warmer, shader loader,
pipeline builders and draw-time cache. Check normal and merged passes on both
MTLDevice and Metal 4, with GPU pixels compared against the original descriptors.
The regression fails on the PR base and when the merged-pass guard is removed.
Document the shared normalization rule and keep game measurements in their notes.

- profile 01007BB017812000 (1.0.3, SDK 13.3.0): plays on the Mac at 60 fps
- provisional profiles add the subsdks the NROs import (profile_guess nro_modules)
- an NRO importing nvnBootstrapLoader makes an NVN game; NROs calling glslcCompile get the run-time GLSLC capture
- shader_split reads zip archive members (Portal's nxcontent/nvsb GLSLC outputs)
- ro::LookupModuleSymbol for a name a loaded module lacks is not red (Horizon fails it too)

Apply the generalized image-atomic bounds and backing checks from PR #178.
Also reject unsupported descriptor formats before integer fallback and fail
unresolved bindless atomics instead of silently deleting them. Rebuild the
translator and record chain 467efdfd0b62, with regression tests and findings.
Validation: compiler/helper and sanitizer tests, 96 Metal compile/link checks,
ten GPU probes, all 28,603 Z-A shaders for Mac and iPhone, and a 240-second
Mac station-area run reaching 6,987 frames without a freeze or GPU fault.
Reported iPhone cases and the station-to-world transition remain unverified.

Support PKZ v1 archives and advertise the translator's GPU-code range independently of SDK version. Register the 1.0.1 profile, shader tables, regression checks and Mac bring-up findings. Retain 30 fps; document the unshipped 60 fps experiment and outstanding iPhone validation.
