# scripts/gdb/gdb_tape_atoms.gdb
#
# Wrapper for the tape-atom step-debug helpers. The 9 user commands are defined
# here as STUBS (degraded-state messages). The real implementations + the
# per-atom data tables are emitted by `passes/atoms_source_map.lua` (post-link
# invocation: `ps1_meta.lua --atoms-source-map --gdb-runtime --elf <elf>`) into
# `build/gen/gdb_tape_atoms_runtime.gdb`. Sourcing that file RE-DEFINES the
# commands with real implementations.
#
# If `build/gen/gdb_tape_atoms_runtime.gdb` is missing or stale, the stubs
# remain (E1: no source map). The user just needs to re-run `build_psyq.ps1`
# to regenerate. No exceptions; no crashes.
#
# Why a wrapper + separate runtime file?
# - The runtime file is auto-generated per-build; not in git.
# - The wrapper is checked into git; always works.
# - This split keeps the script trivial and the data plumbing out of git.
#
# Compatible with every gdb build (no Python, no Tcl, no Guile required) —
# pure gdb command scripting + `set $var = val` + `define ... end`.
#
# Generated by track gdb_tape_atom_debugging_20260711 — see
# C:\projects\Pikuma\ps1-ai\docs\gdb_tape_atom_debugging.md for the manual.
# ── Stub commands (defined here so they're always present, even if the
# runtime file is missing). The runtime file overrides these if sourced. ──
