🎯 Key Findings

✅ Working Components

• Build system: make elf, make flycast-image, make clean
• Build script: KOS detection, ELF compilation, validation, manifest generation
• Test infrastructure: 30+ tests (manual compilation)
• Validation: Script-based ELF/Flycast validation
• Documentation: Authoritative docs aligned to realignment

🚧 Critical Blocker

Asset Extraction Pipeline: - Private D2 assets not in repo (staged externally) - Title-menu PVM/PVR files not extracted from disc image - Manifest contains placeholder entry names - Cannot build D2 title menu target without extraction

📋 Required Files

NLOGO.PVM, Q_TITLEBGMT[0-2].PVM, Q_TITLEMENU.PVM, Q_DMTITLE.PVM
Q_DJSNOW.PVM, SAKA_MNSNOW1[ABC].PVM, P_COMTIT*.PVR, etc.

🔧 Next Steps

1. Extract PVM/PVR files from private D2 staging
2. Run discovery: python3 tools/extract_d2_menu_assets.py --discover
3. Update manifest with confirmed entry names
4. Run make d2-assets
5. Update src/d3tui_main.c rendering

📬 Communication

Messages Sent to Team Lead

1. Initial Findings: Build survey complete - asset extraction blocked
2. Executive Summary: Survey complete - asset extraction is critical path

Status

• Phase: T0/T1 Read-Only Proto-Run ✅ COMPLETE
• Next Phase: Awaiting team lead dispatch for implementation
• Mission Compliance: All constraints respected ✅

🛠️ Usage

For Team Lead

1. Read executive-summary.md for high-level overview
2. Review build-survey.md for technical details
3. Check completion-checklist.md for task verification
4. Dispatch asset extraction task to appropriate agent

For Developers

1. Read quick-status.md for current state
2. Review build-survey.md for build system details
3. Check executive-summary.md for recommendations

For Reviewers

1. Read completion-checklist.md for compliance verification
2. Review executive-summary.md for risk assessment
3. Check build-survey.md for technical accuracy

🎓 Summary

The D3-TUI project has a functional build system and clear target definition, but is blocked on asset extraction. The asset extraction pipeline requires:

1. Private D2 material from external staging
2. Extraction of title-menu PVM/PVR files
3. Discovery of exact PVM entry names
4. Manifest update and C asset generation

All other components (build system, tests, validation, documentation) are ready and functional.

Status: Survey complete. Ready for implementation phase dispatch.
