tsvm: fix palette not resetting

Bite-sized tasks for the spec at
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-24-fsh-interactive-widgets-design.md.
Verification uses node --check for JS syntax and a final manual smoke
test in the emulator; the TSVM cannot be machine-invoked.

+## Reference Materials
+
+Third-party source-code references that inform TSVM implementations live in
+`reference_materials/<topic>/`. Each topic folder has a `README.md` that
+summarises the takeaway and points back into the verbatim source files.
+**Consult these before reimplementing tracker / codec / DSP behaviour from
+memory** — TSVM aims to match the audible behaviour of the originals.
+
+Current topics:
+
+- `reference_materials/tracker_filter/` — Impulse Tracker / OpenMPT / Schism
+  Tracker resonant low-pass filter source. Defines the cutoff formula, the
+  resonance damping curve, and the **IIR-only 2-pole topology** (NOT a
+  biquad — no feedforward x[n−1] / x[n−2] terms) that `AudioAdapter.kt` uses
+  for Taud playback.
+- `reference_materials/ft2-clone` — Modernised clone for the original FastTracker 2
+- `reference_materials/impulse-tracker` — The original source code for ImpulseTracker
+- `reference_materials/MilkyTracker` — FastTracker 2 compatible tracker
+- `reference_materials/schismtracker` — Open-source re-implementation of ImpulseTracker
+- `reference_materials/pt2-clone` — Open-source re-implementation of ProTracker 2
+- `reference_materials/doom/` — id Software's GPL source release of DOOM
+  (linuxdoom-1.10). Reference for the TSVM DOOM port in
+  `assets/disk0/home/doom/`; demo-sync-critical tables, fixed-point maths and
+  playsim call order must be translated from this source, never from memory.
+- `reference_materials/soundfont/` — SoundFont 2.04 spec (PDF + `pdftotext`
+  rendering for citations) for `midi2taud.py`. The `README.md` digests SF2
+  *layering* semantics (all matching preset+instrument zones sound at once —
+  no "first wins"), a generator/modulator census of the three production banks
+  (SGM, Timbres of Heaven, Evanescence2), the spec-vs-files layering table, and
+  what implementing layering in Taud needs (no new per-layer params — Ixmp
+  already carries them; only multi-fire engine semantics + a layer cap of 4–5).
+  Probes: `devtests/sf2_layer_probe.py`, `devtests/sf2_gen_census.py`.
+- `reference_materials/fluidsynth/` — verbatim FluidSynth source, the reference
+  SoundFont 2 synthesiser. The audible ground truth for Taud's **SF2 filter
+  mode**: the SF2 voice low-pass is an **RBJ biquad** (cutoff in absolute cents
+  via `fluid_ct2hz`, Q from cB with FluidSynth's −3.01 dB Butterworth offset,
+  `1/√Q` passband gain-norm), NOT the IT all-pole filter. The `README.md`
+  digests the cutoff/Q/coefficient maths with file:line citations; ported into
+  `AudioAdapter.kt` `refreshVoiceFilter`/`applyVoiceFilter` (`filterSfMode`
+  branch) to fix the muffling vs. the old overdamped all-pole port. Upstream's
+  own README is preserved as `README.upstream.md`.
+
+When fetching new references, copy the relevant upstream files verbatim into
+a topic folder, write a `README.md` summarising the relevant maths /
+algorithms with file:line citations, and add an entry here.

+
+### Critical Implementation Notes
+
+**Re-bind the local `inst` after any mid-tick `triggerNote`.** `applyTrackerTick` binds `var inst = instruments[voice.instrumentId]` once at the top of the per-voice loop. When the note-delay (`S$Dx`) deferred trigger fires mid-tick, `triggerNote` swaps the voice's `instrumentId` — but the rest of that tick (playback-rate recompute at the `computePlaybackRate(inst, finalPitch)` line, `advanceEnvelope`, `advancePitchEnvelope`/`advanceFilterEnvelope`, `advanceAutoVibrato`, and the fadeout / filter-env reads of `inst.*`) keeps using the captured binding. The damage on a **never-triggered voice** (`instrumentId == 0` → stale `inst = instruments[0]`, whose `samplingRate == 0`) is that `playbackRate` is overwritten with `0.0`, freezing the sample at its start for the trigger tick — perceived as "the first delayed note on a fresh channel doesn't fire" (canonical: WHEN.taud cue 0 voice 13 pattern 0x0A row 16, inst `0x11` SD2 on a fresh play). On a warm voice the stale `inst` is a real instrument with non-zero rate, so the note sounds (at the wrong rate for one tick — a sub-perceptual glitch). Re-bind `inst = instruments[voice.instrumentId]` immediately after the note-delay fire block. Any future in-tick trigger paths (currently only S$Dx) must do the same.
+
+**Per-patch envelopes go through the Voice's ACTIVE-envelope view, never `inst.*` directly.** Since 2026-06-13 an Ixmp patch can carry its own volume / pan / filter / pitch envelopes (+ fadeout / cutoff / resonance) — see terranmon.txt §Ixmp, variable-length patches. `applyActiveSample` → `resolveActiveEnvelopes(voice, inst, patch)` snapshots the effective envelope source onto `voice.active{Vol,Pan,Pitch,Filter}Env{,Loop,Sustain}`, `voice.has{Pitch,Filter}Env`, and `voice.active{FadeoutStep,DefaultCutoff,DefaultResonance}`. The base instrument exposes **two** pf-envelope slots — bytes 19.. (`pfEnv*`) and bytes 197..250 (`pf2Env*`, the mandatory complement) — routed into the pitch/filter roles by each slot's m-bit (LOOP-word bit 7). `advanceEnvelope` (vol+pan), `advancePitchEnvelope`, `advanceFilterEnvelope`, `applyKeyLift`, the per-tick pitch/filter/fadeout application (foreground AND background), and `triggerNote`'s envelope seeds must ALL read the `voice.active*` view, not `inst.*`. `copyVoice` (NNA ghost) must copy the whole active view so ghosts keep their patch's envelopes. There is no single `envPf*`/`envPfIsFilter` field any more — it was split into explicit `envPitch*`/`envFilter*` pairs. Headless coverage: `devtests/ixmp/PatchEnvTest` (per-patch env applied) + `IxmpFileTest /tmp/m_e1m1.taud`.
+
+**The shared pitch/filter envelope walker (`advancePfRole`) must SKIP zero-duration nodes, not freeze on them.** A node whose `offset` rounds to 0 — sub-4 ms, since `ThreeFiveMinifloat`'s smallest non-zero step is ≈3.9 ms — represents an instant transition; the walk must advance to the next node. The old code `return`ed on `offset == 0.0` without advancing the index, stranding fast-attack envelopes at their first node. The audible damage: SF2 filter mod-envelopes (`midi2taud.py` `_filter_env_block_sf`) routinely have a ~1 ms attack that stores offset 0, so the filter never opened from its base cutoff to its sustain cutoff — Strings/Flute/Guitar (SGM base ~600 Hz, sustain ~6 kHz) and low-base sweep drums played permanently muffled at their floor. The skip loop stops at a sustain/loop boundary (`susEnd`, handled by the dispatch above) or `maxIdx`. This also affects pitch mod-envs and any IT/XM envelope with a zero-tick (vertical-jump) node, all now correct. There is still a one-tick (≈seed) delay before the env opens — inaudible on sustained notes; the seed value is the base node.
+
+**SoundFont filter mode uses an RBJ biquad, NOT the IT all-pole filter.** `refreshVoiceFilter` has two topologies. The IT/tracker path (`else` branch) is the all-pole 2-pole resonant LPF from `reference_materials/tracker_filter/` (no feedforward zeros) — must stay byte-faithful for tracker playback, do not touch it. The **`filterSfMode` branch ports FluidSynth's voice filter** (`reference_materials/fluidsynth/`, see its `README.md`): cutoff = absolute cents → Hz via `8.176·2^(cents/1200)` clamped to `[5 Hz, 0.45·fs]`; Q from centibels with FluidSynth's **−3.01 dB offset** (so Q=0 cB ⇒ q_lin = 1/√2 Butterworth, no resonance hump); RBJ cookbook low-pass coefficients with the SF2 `1/√Q` passband gain-norm. `applyVoiceFilter` runs the biquad (Direct Form I: `y = b02·(x+x₂) + b1·x₁ − a1·y₁ − a2·y₂`) when `voice.filterIsBiquad`. The old code reused the all-pole filter for SF mode too; it is overdamped and rolled the passband off ~3 dB @ 8 kHz / ~5 dB @ 12 kHz vs FluidSynth → audible muffling on every filtered GM instrument. Per-voice biquad state (`filterBqB02/B1/A1/A2`, input history `filterX1/X2`) must be reset on trigger/retrigger and copied in `copyVoice` (NNA ghost) alongside the output history. The background-voice filter-env path must branch on `filterSfMode` too, else an SF-mode ghost's cents-domain cutoff gets clamped into the IT 0..254 byte range (≈9 Hz → silence).

+## Virtual Consoles (vtmgr)
+
+Linux-style virtual consoles for TVDOS: up to 6 independent shell sessions,
+switched with **Alt-1..Alt-6** or the **`chvt N`** builtin, **Alt-0** to exit.
+Implemented entirely in JS — **no tsvm_core changes**.
+
+### Architecture
+
+- **Dispatcher**: `assets/disk0/tvdos/VTMGR.SYS`. Launched directly by the
+  `TVDOS.SYS` boot block (only when `!_TVDOS_IS_VT_PANE`); when it exits (Alt-0)
+  the boot block runs `AUTOEXEC.BAT` as the bare fallback shell. Owns the
+  physical keyboard and screen. Each VT runs in its own GraalVM context/thread
+  via the existing `parallel.spawnNewContext` / `attachProgram` / `launch` API
+  (see `VMJSR223Delegate.kt` `class Parallel`). VT 1 spawns at boot; VT 2-6 are
+  lazy-spawned on first switch and re-spawned if their shell exits.
+- **Concurrency model**: truly concurrent — switching works mid-command, not
+  just at the prompt. Background panes keep running (no `Thread.suspend`; it is
+  unusable on JDK 21). A cooperative gate inside the shimmed `con.getch` parks
+  panes blocked on input; CPU-bound background panes are allowed to run.
+- **Shared memory**: one `sys.malloc` region holds a control block (active VT,
+  switch request, debounce, spawned-bits) plus, per VT, an input ring buffer and
+  a 7682-byte text-plane buffer mirroring the GPU text-area layout
+  (cursor 2 + fore 2560 + back 2560 + char 2560).
+- **Compositor** (30 Hz): blits the active VT's text plane to the physical GPU
+  text area via `sys.memcpy`, and pushes that VT's cursor-visibility into the GPU
+  blink bit (MMIO attribute byte 6, addressed at `-1 - (131072*gpuSlot + 6)`).
+- **Boot config split (`commandrc` + `AUTOEXEC.BAT`)**: environment setup and
+  app-launch are split into two files so panes can replay one without the other.
+  `\commandrc` holds the `set` commands (PATH/INCLPATH/HELPPATH/KEYBOARD) and is
+  run by the `TVDOS.SYS` boot block in **every** context (boot and pane) — it has
+  no `.BAT` extension, so the boot block runs it line-by-line (`set` mutates the
+  shared `_TVDOS.variables`, so the effect persists). `\AUTOEXEC.BAT` is the
+  **per-console launch** script (Korean IME `tvdos/i18n/korean`, then
+  `command -fancy`); it is run once per console — by each pane's bootstrap, and
+  by the boot block as the post-vtmgr fallback. No env snapshot/replay anymore;
+  each pane gets PATH/KEYBOARD/etc. natively from `commandrc`, and Korean IME
+  (a per-context `unicode.uniprint` handler) now registers in every pane.
+- **Per-pane bootstrap**: each pane re-evals `TVDOS.SYS` (with `_TVDOS_IS_VT_PANE`
+  set — which makes the boot block run `commandrc` but skip the vtmgr/AUTOEXEC
+  launch — and a `_BIOS` stub captured live from the main context) then runs
+  `command -c \AUTOEXEC.BAT`, all in ONE direct `eval` so the launcher shares
+  scope with `_TVDOS`/`files`/`execApp`.
+
+### Output/input shimming (in the pane bootstrap)
+
+`con` and the global `print`/`println` family are plain JS, so the bootstrap
+overrides them to read/write the per-VT shared-memory buffers instead of the
+physical GPU. **`sys` and `graphics` are host objects and CANNOT be overridden
+from JS** — this is the key constraint that shapes everything below.
+
+- The shimmed `print` is a faithful JS port of the GPU's TTY interpreter
+  (`GlassTty.acceptChar` + `GraphicsAdapter` handlers): control bytes, the
+  `\x84<decimal>u` "emit char by code" escape (used by `con.prnch`), CSI cursor
+  moves / erase / SGR colours, and the `?25` cursor-visibility private sequence.
+  A swallow-only parser is NOT enough — TVDOS apps drive the screen through
+  these `print` escapes.
+- `con.move`/`con.getyx` are **1-based** (mirroring `graphics.setCursorYX`'s
+  `cx-1` and `getCursorYX`'s `cx+1`); `con.addch` does NOT advance the cursor
+  (matches `graphics.putSymbol`), while `con.prnch` DOES.
+- `command.js`'s `shell.execute` reassigns the global print family to
+  `shell.stdio.out.*`, which call `sys.print` (→ physical GPU). `shell.stdio.out`
+  was made to delegate to a `globalThis.__VT_OUT` hook when present (set by the
+  bootstrap); outside a VT the hook is absent and the path is byte-identical.
+
+### Direct-VRAM apps need a VT-aware base (the `vaddr` pattern)
+
+Apps that write the text area directly via `graphics.getGpuMemBase()` (rather
+than `con.*`/`print`) bypass the shims and paint the physical screen, invading
+whatever VT is visible. They must resolve text-area byte `m` through a
+VT-aware base:
+
+```js
+// physical: backward  (byte m at gpuBase - m)   — getDev inverts to forward-native
+// VT pane:  forward   (byte m at VT_TEXT_PLANE + m, the pane buffer the compositor blits)
+const VT = (typeof globalThis.VT_TEXT_PLANE !== 'undefined')
+const VRAM_BASE = VT ? globalThis.VT_TEXT_PLANE : (graphics.getGpuMemBase() - 253950)
+const VRAM_SGN  = VT ? 1 : -1
+function vaddr(m) { return VRAM_BASE + VRAM_SGN * m }
+```
+
+`sys.memcpy`/`sys.pokeBytes` copy forward in the resolved native memory, so this
+works for both directions. The physical branch is identical to the original
+arithmetic (no regression outside vtmgr). Applied so far in
+`assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/taut.js` and `assets/disk0/hopper/include/aa.mjs`
+(used by `bb.js`). Any future direct-VRAM app needs the same one-line `vaddr`.
+
+### Files
+
+- New: `assets/disk0/tvdos/VTMGR.SYS` (dispatcher + per-pane bootstrap)
+- `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/command.js`: `chvt` builtin, `[N]` prompt prefix for
+  VT 2-6, `shell.stdio.out` → `__VT_OUT` delegation
+- `assets/disk0/tvdos/TVDOS.SYS`: boot block runs `\commandrc` (env) in every
+  context, then — only when `!_TVDOS_IS_VT_PANE` — launches `tvdos/sbin/vtmgr`
+  and, on its exit, `\AUTOEXEC.BAT` as the fallback shell
+- `assets/disk0/commandrc`: env-only `set` commands (PATH/INCLPATH/HELPPATH/KEYBOARD)
+- `assets/disk0/AUTOEXEC.BAT`: per-console launch (Korean IME + `command -fancy`)
+- `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/taut.js`, `assets/disk0/hopper/include/aa.mjs`:
+  `vaddr` VT-aware direct-VRAM addressing
+
+### Gotcha: injectIntChk vs. embedded source
+
+`execApp`/`require` run a program's source through `injectIntChk` (TVDOS.SYS),
+which sed-rewrites the **first** `while`/`for`/`do` of each kind to call a
+per-exec `tvdosSIGTERM_<hash>()` SIGTERM check. When vtmgr embeds the pane
+bootstrap as a string literal, one of those rewrites can land inside the literal
+— and the pane context has no such symbol. vtmgr strips them from the bootstrap
+string with `raw.replace(/tvdosSIGTERM_[A-Za-z0-9_]+\(\);?/g, '')`. Any future
+code that builds executable source as a string literal must do the same.

+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
+<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.

-**tsvm** /tiː.ɛs.viː.ɛm/ is a virtual machine with the architecture that mimics the 8-bit era of
-computers, and runs programs written in Javascript.
+# tsvm
 
-**tsvm** repository includes the virtual machine itself, the reference BIOS
-implementation and a DOS; BASIC is provided by the [TerranBASIC](https://github.com/curioustorvald/TerranBASIC)
-repository.
+**tsvm** /tiː.ɛs.viː.ɛm/ is a fantasy computer platform: a virtual machine whose
+architecture is inspired by the 8-bit and early 16-bit home computers, built
+from the ground up around running JavaScript as its native machine code.
+
+What started as "an 8-bit-flavoured VM that runs JS" has grown into a complete,
+self-hosted retro computing ecosystem — with its own BIOS, operating system,
+filesystem, video and audio codecs, video display coprocessor with its own
+assembly language, tracker music format, and a stack of userland tools that
+together come closer to a small alternate-history computer line than a
+single-binary emulator.
+
+This repository contains the virtual machine core, the reference BIOS
+implementations, the **TVDOS** operating system, the **Videotron2K** video
+display controller, hardware-accelerated codec backends for the **TEV / TAV /
+TAD** media formats, and the multi-platform packaging scripts. The
+[TerranBASIC](https://github.com/curioustorvald/TerranBASIC) repository
+provides the matching BASIC dialect that ships on the system disk.
+
+## What's actually in here
+
+### The virtual machine
+
+- **VM core** (`tsvm_core/`) — memory model, peripheral bus, MMIO, JS
+  sandboxing through GraalVM, watchdog, DMA engine, and cooperative scheduling.
+  Up to 8 hot-pluggable peripheral slots, each with a dedicated MMIO window
+  and memory-space window mapped into the VM's negative address range.
+- **Multiple BIOS implementations** (`assets/bios/`) — including the reference
+  `tsvmbios.js`, an OpenBIOS variant, the TBM-BIOS for TerranBASIC machines,
+  and the Pip-Boy-style `pipboot.rom`. BIOSes are first-class swappable
+  components, not a fixed boot blob.
+- **Reference monitor / debugger** (`mon.js`) for poking at memory and
+  peripherals from a running machine.
+- **Multi-platform packaging** (`buildapp/`) — scripts to produce Linux x86_64
+  / ARM64 AppImages, macOS Intel / Apple Silicon bundles, and Windows builds,
+  each with its own `jlink`-trimmed JDK 21 runtime.
+
+### Peripherals (the "hardware")
+
+Living under `tsvm_core/src/net/torvald/tsvm/peripheral/`:
+
+- **Graphics adapters** — the standard `GraphicsAdapter`, plus `TexticsAdapter`
+  for text-mode framebuffers, `ExtDisp` for external displays, and a
+  `RemoteGraphicsAdapter` for networked rendering.
+- **Audio devices** — `AudioAdapter` (the main programmable sound chip with
+  PCM channels, an Impulse Tracker-style resonant low-pass filter, and a
+  hardware-accelerated **TAD** decoder), `OpenALBufferedAudioDevice`, and the
+  `MP2Env` MPEG audio environment.
+- **Disk drives** — `TevdDiskDrive` (TEVD custom filesystem),
+  `ClusteredDiskDrive`, `TestDiskDrive`, and a latency-simulator script for
+  testing slow-storage behaviour.
+- **Networking and serial** — `HttpModem`, `HSDPA` / `HostFileHSDPA` for
+  high-speed packet I/O, `SerialStdioHost`, `BlockTransferInterface` /
+  `BlockTransferPort`.
+- **Terminals and displays** — `TTY`, `GlassTty`, `TermSim`, and a
+  `CharacterLCDdisplay` for HD44780-flavoured projects.
+- **Memory expansion** — `RamBank` for bank-switched memory, plus a
+  programmable `TestFunctionGenerator`.
+
+### Videotron2K — the video coprocessor
+
+Videotron2K is a programmable video display controller with its **own
+assembly-like language**, six general registers (`r1`–`r6`), special registers
+(`tmr`, `frm`, `px`, `py`, `c1`–`c6`), a scene-based programming model, and
+conditional postfixes (`zr`, `nz`, `gt`, `ls`, `ge`, `le`). Programs declare
+`SCENE` blocks and dispatch them with `perform`. Drawing primitives include
+`plot`, `fillin`, `fillscr`, and `goto`. See `Videotron2K.md` and the VDC
+implementation under `tsvm_core/.../vdc/`.
+
+### TVDOS — the operating system
+
+`assets/disk0/tvdos/` is a complete DOS-style userland:
+
+- **Kernel and drivers** — `TVDOS.SYS`, `HSDPADRV.SYS`, `hyve.SYS`,
+  installable drivers under `moviedev/` and `tuidev/`.
+- **Custom filesystem** — TEVD, with the on-disk format documented in
+  `tvdos/filesystem.md`.
+- **Internationalisation** — Colemak / Dvorak / QWERTY keymaps and an `i18n/`
+  resource tree.
+- **Userland binaries** (`tvdos/bin/`) — a shell (`command.js`), file tools
+  (`hexdump`, `less`, `tee`, `touch`, `printfile`, `writeto`, `defrag`,
+  `lfs`, `drives`), an editor (`edit.js`), a file manager (`zfm.js`), a
+  network fetcher (`geturl`), gzip/Zstd helpers, palette tools, and a battery
+  of media players (`playmp2`, `playpcm`, `playwav`, `playmv1`, `playtev`,
+  `playtav`, `playtad`, `playucf`).
+- **Taut tracker** — a full in-VM tracker (`taut.js`,
+  `taut_instredit.js`, `taut_sampleedit.js`, `taut_notationedit.js`,
+  `taut_fileop.js`) with its own font and chrome assets.
+
+### Codecs and media formats
+
+tsvm ships a small but serious codec lab. Encoders are written in C and live
+in `video_encoder/`; decoders are split between JavaScript players in TVDOS
+and hardware-accelerated Kotlin backends in the VM core.
+
+- **iPF (Type 1 / 2 / 1-delta)** — picture and legacy movie format. Encoders:
+  `encodeipf.js`, `encodemov.js`, `encodemov2.js`. Documented in
+  `terranmon.txt`.
+- **TEV (TSVM Enhanced Video)** — modern DCT codec with motion compensation,
+  16×16 blocks, YCoCg-R 4:2:0, and either quality-mode or bitrate-mode rate
+  control. Encoder: `video_encoder/encoder_tev.c`. Decoder: `playtev.js`,
+  with `tevDecode` / `tevIdct8x8` / `tevMotionCopy8x8` accelerated in
+  `GraphicsJSR223Delegate.kt`.
+- **TAV (TSVM Advanced Video)** — successor to TEV based on the Discrete
+  Wavelet Transform. Five wavelet types (5/3 reversible, 9/7 irreversible,
+  CDF 13/7, DD-4, Haar), 6-level decomposition, EZBC sparsity coding,
+  perceptual quantisation, and an optional **3D temporal DWT** that encodes
+  whole groups of pictures as one unified wavelet tree. Includes a packet
+  inspector (`tav_inspector.c`) and coefficient visualiser
+  (`tav_visualise_coefficients.c`).
+- **TAD (TSVM Advanced Audio)** — perceptual audio codec at 32 kHz stereo,
+  using CDF 9/7 wavelets, M/S decorrelation, gamma compression, pre-emphasis,
+  EZBC, and Zstd. Achieves ~2.5:1 compression vs. PCMu8 at quality 3 while
+  preserving the full 0–16 kHz band. Designed to be embeddable inside TAV so
+  audio chunks can align with video GOP boundaries.
+- **Taud** — tracker module format with conversion tools from
+  the major formats: `it2taud.py` (Impulse Tracker), `mod2taud.py`
+  (ProTracker / FastTracker), `s3m2taud.py` (Scream Tracker 3), plus
+  `2taud.sh` and shared helpers in `taud_common.py`. Note effects are
+  documented in `TAUD_NOTE_EFFECTS.md`. The `AudioAdapter` runs the same
+  IIR-only 2-pole resonant low-pass topology used by Impulse Tracker /
+  OpenMPT / Schism.
+- **MP2** — reference MPEG-1 Layer II environment via `MP2Env.kt` and
+  `playmp2.js`.
+
+### Languages and runtimes
+
+- **JavaScript** is the VM's native code, executed by GraalVM in a sandboxed
+  context with a curated set of host bindings (graphics, audio, filesystem,
+  DMA, compression, networking, low-level peek/poke).
+- **TerranBASIC** is provided by the
+  [TerranBASIC](https://github.com/curioustorvald/TerranBASIC) repository and
+  shipped as `tbas` on the system disk. The `TerranBASICexecutable/` subproject
+  packages a BASIC-only flavour of the machine.
+- **Videotron2K assembly** for VDC programs.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `terranmon.txt` — the architecture reference (memory map, peripheral
+  protocol, codec bitstreams).
+- `doc/*.tex` — machine-readable LaTeX sources for the TSVM and TVDOS manuals,
+  built with `doc/makepdf.sh`.
+- `Videotron2K.md` — VDC programming guide.
+- `TAUD_NOTE_EFFECTS.md` — tracker effect reference.
+- `CLAUDE.md` — a condensed map of the project for collaborators (and
+  language-model assistants) working in the tree.
+
+## Building and running
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+JDK 21 runtimes laid out under `~/Documents/openjdk/` with platform-specific
+names:
+
+- `jdk-21.0.1-x86` — Linux AMD64
+- `jdk-21.0.1-arm` — Linux Aarch64
+- `jdk-21.0.1-windows` — Windows AMD64
+- `jdk-21.0.1.jdk-x86` — macOS Intel
+- `jdk-21.0.1.jdk-arm` — macOS Apple Silicon
+
+`jlink` is then used to produce trimmed runtimes under `out/runtime-*`.
+
+### Common entry points
+
+- **Run the emulator** — `TsvmEmulator.java` (in `tsvm_executable/`).
+- **Run TerranBASIC-only build** — `TerranBASIC.java` (in
+  `TerranBASICexecutable/`).
+- **Package an installable bundle** — pick the right script in `buildapp/`:
+    - `build_app_linux_x86.sh`
+    - `build_app_linux_arm.sh`
+    - `build_app_mac_x86.sh`
+    - `build_app_mac_arm.sh`
+    - `build_app_windows_x86.sh`
+- **Build C encoders** — in `video_encoder/`: `make` (TEV), `make tav`,
+  `make tad`.
+
+### Encoding sample media
+
+```bash
+# Quality-mode TEV encode
+./encoder_tev -i input.mp4 -o clip.tev -q 3
+
+# TAV with 9/7 wavelet, quality 4
+./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -w 1 -q 4 -o clip.tav
+
+# TAV with 3D temporal DWT (GOP-unified encoding)
+./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 --temporal-dwt -o clip.tav
+
+# TAD audio at the highest quality
+./encoder_tad -i input.mp4 -o track.tad -q 5
+```
+
+Then, inside TVDOS:
+
+```
+A:\> playtev clip.tev
+A:\> playtav clip.tav
+A:\> playtad track.tad
+```
+
+## Repository layout
+
+```
