## Status & continuing the work
The engine, renderer, audio, HAL, build, locomotion, collision, damage, and render fidelity are
done; per-subsystem reconstruction (gyro integrator, projectile/missile weapons) and MP combat are
the active fronts. `docs/` holds the format specs and reconstruction ledgers; `reference/decomp/`
holds the raw pseudocode that every reconstruction is verified against. `CLAUDE.md` is the durable,
progressive project context — read it first.
The engine, renderer, audio, HAL, build, locomotion, collision, damage, render fidelity, the full
cockpit **gauge / MFD system** (every config binding resolves + every widget builds), and the
projectile / missile weapon families are done. Active fronts: per-subsystem polish (the gyroscope
integrator; the `0xBD3` message manager that gates the valve / status-message control routes) and
cross-pod MP combat. `reference/decomp/` holds the raw pseudocode every reconstruction is verified
against.
**Start with `CLAUDE.md`** — it is the router into the progressive knowledge base: a quick-lookup
table pointing to the `context/*.md` topic files (loaded on demand), the evidence-tier and
convention rules, and `context/open-questions.md` for what's deferred / next. The complete
pre-restructure history is preserved verbatim in `docs/PROGRESS_LOG.md`; `docs/*.md` holds the
detailed running ledgers.
