buzzing brain.

Need to rewrite the ps1 lua metaprogram sometime soonish. Getting too bloated... need to consolidate code paths.

In this push codebase structure is starting to get a bit more realized. Decided todo now to match Pikuma's linking module files vods beginning to reorganize its codebase as well.
Atoms & atom components are not in their on *.atom.c files. (Not calling it tape.c as I don't really bake tapes like that outside of the unity c file so far...)

The lua metaprogram has had additional features added to it yet again to avoid hardcoding module handling and supporting multiple atom files per-module.
Either after the camera or cd-rom section I'll be most likely pausing to fully refactor the metaprogram. Possibly as a full re-write to get the loc minimal.

+ *  TAPE DRIVE ABI
+ * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Note(Ed): One of the main purposes of this codebase is to help me
+ * learn this, as such the information below may be entirely realized 
+ * or finalized conceptually.
+ * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * This ABI and its associated legos were directly inspired by researching
+ * the work of Timothy Lottes and Onat Türkçüoğlu; along with many others.
+ * It's the simplest bootstrap of a a directly executed chain of assemby
+ * arrays (Atoms) that terminate with a yield sequence to the next atom.
+ * These eventually lead to a terminal atom for the tape which is defined
+ * below as "tape_exit".
+ * 
+ * This behaves as one of the simplest runtime harnesses ontop of a 
+ * host-enviornment's execution engine to author and compose programs with.
+ * From here various conventions can be further applied.
+ * To make things easier to understand it may be better to focus on what this
+ * ABI does not have. It does not have have any branching within the tape but
+ * relative branches between atoms. Branching nearly is always downstream.
+ * Stack usage is non-existent. Push/Pop, FIFO, or Arena/Bump data structures
+ * are used by atoms explicitly. In it's current form withe C11 macro dsl,
+ * the user also has to do manual register allocation per atom.
+ * 
+ * One of the remarkable things about utilizing this abi is its essentially
+ * interopable with CPUs, GPUs, FPGA, or, basically anything
+ * from the 5th generation consoles and onward.
+ * The ABI directly reflects how all computational hardware must be architected
+ * in order to execute digital logic effectively on current era tech.
+ * On the PS1 we don't have access to a few features like multi-threading,
+ * speculative execution, or L3 cache; but, we can set the foundation for legoing
+ * whats required baseline wise for eventually expanding the harness and core atoms
+ * to take those newer hardware features into account. For example, you can easily
+ * expand this to support wave-based execution model on a PS2 or PS3.
+ * Not having a stack or automatic register allocation means the user can't ignore
+ * excessive argument shuffle across workload or waves and thier phases.
+ * Crossing ABI boundaries to other runtimes that do has an obviouss penalties.
+ * 
+ * Learning data-oreinted code becomes a natural progression. Your not fighting
+ * a stack-based procedural paradigm that wants to argument shuffle on the stack
+ * by lack of constraints on how the user may "call" a procedure. The user doesn't
+ * have to hammer down "rules" or patterns to know how to massage the compiler
+ * to get the asesmbly into its natural form. The form is obvious, and once
+ * the user gets to author their compoonents it becomes a game of tetris.
+ * 
+ * Another feature is this ABI is very compatible with bootstrapping and developing
+ * simple toolchains built off of bit-packed annotated command streams the user can
+ * directly author, maintatain, and immediately execute. That being a color forth.
+ * This can make the tetris less of a chore with some helpful policy generation for
+ * allocation of registers, helping to choose resuable components, designing DSL on
+ * the fly, etc.
+ * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * TODO(Ed): We ned pretty ascii diagrams and proper guides, articles, etc.
+ * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * For now this thing is just functioning and I'm abusing C11 + a lua metaprogram
+ * to help establish a hybrid toolchain to ideate on a traditional text-based
+ * authoring UX for this paradigm.
+ * If pcsx-redux gets me viable hot-reload and persistent data storage beyond
+ * save-states (just copying ram to filesystem). I can author a color forth to
+ * mess around with, with an editor in-emulator or on the actual machine itself.
+ * Assembly is tedius, but I think this codebase most likely has some of the most,
+ * ergonomic you can come across..

+--- Returns three parallel maps keyed by 1-based file index.
+---
+--- Wire format notes:
+---   * The `.debug_line` section may contain MULTIPLE line-program units
+---     File indices are 1-based, **per unit**; we concatenate all units and the index ranges from 1..N₁ in unit 1, N₁+1..N₁+N₂ in unit 2, etc.
+---     Per-unit indices (the way gcc emits them, and the way `DW_LNS_set_file` references them in the line program)
+---     are returned via the `basename_to_index` map only when the unit boundary happens to align with the metaprogram's per-atom
+---     `inv.call_file` (true today for hello_joypad — the C unit is the LAST unit, and atom-side file indices fit 1-based).
+---   * Per spec, the `.debug_line_str` section (DWARF5 §7.5.6) holds the strings referenced by `DW_FORM_line_strp`.
+---     The legacy DWARF3 format embeds strings directly with null terminators. This helper handles BOTH.
+---   * File entries may have multiple forms (gcc -gdwarf-5 with `DW_LNCT_directory_index`
+---     emits 2 forms: path + dir_index). The helper supports:
+---     - DW_FORM_line_strp (DWARF5; offset into .debug_line_str)
+---     - DW_FORM_string (DWARF4-compat; inline null-terminated in .debug_line)
+---     - DW_FORM_udata (ULEB128)
+---     - DW_FORM_data16 (16-byte MD5; ignored — skip the form's bytes)
+---   * Symlink-canonicalisation: each path's `paths[i]` is stored verbatim from the wire
+---     (mixed `/` and `\` accepted; the basename is taken via the last path separator). Caller normalises as needed.
+---

+---   `jump` / `call_addr` -> same value as `branch_*` (a relative word offset). 
+---     The duffle headers' `enc_i` macro truncates the value to the immediate-field width (16 bits for branches, 26 bits for jumps).
+---     For tape-atom bodies within a single module, this works for `j`/`jal` because the linker's symbol resolution produces the correct 26-bit absolute target via standard `j` relocations.
+---     For cross-module `j`/`jal` (atom body in one module, target in another), the linker emits a `R_MIPS_26` relocation against the lower 26 bits; the upper 4 bits come from the PC of the delay slot following the `j`.
+---     The metaprogram doesn't know either at compile time, so the emitted value is the relative word offset that the duffle `enc_i` macro places in the immediate field; the toolchain handles the rest.
+---   `jump_reg` / `call_reg` / `jump_link` -> ERROR. Register-form jumps have no offset field; `atom_offset` is invalid.
